Chapter 150: Rebirth From the Dead! Breakthrough!
As time pa.s.sed, Victor’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth started bleeding. His green robe had been dyed red.
If not for the fact that Victor’s spiritual power and blood recovery ability were much stronger than ordinary people after activating the Wood Spirit Embryo, he would have died due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power and excessive blood loss.
After experiencing a long period of extreme pain, Victor had finally forcefully worn away the consciousness left behind by the master of the netherworld.
“Divine Tree of Wood!”
This single thought reverberated in Victor’s mind. He used all his strength to circulate the Green Dragon Life Form, controlling the energy in the Void Magic Stone to seep into the Wood Spirit Embryo.
At this moment, Victor felt as if his body was trapped in lava and was on the verge of melting.
As the energy was absorbed, Victor’s skin showed an abnormal black-red color. The blood seeping out of his pores condensed into a layer of red scab.
Bai Yulan was shocked at what she saw. Victor did not look like a human at all.
It was as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood and dried over a fire. However, from the sound of Victor’s strong breathing, it was visible that he was still alive. It was really a miracle!
In fact, it had been more than an hour since Victor had swallowed the Void Magic Stone. With his spirit gathering realm cultivation base, surviving thus far was already beyond Bai Yulan’s expectations.
Crack crack crack…
As the tremors became more and more intense, the ground beneath Bai Yulan’s feet cracked open. The rocks shattered one after another as if they were biscuits.
The storm-like attacks lasted for three minutes before they disappeared.
Hu Zhi was probably worried that he had used up too much energy. Even if he broke through the formation, he would not be able to leave Victor behind. Therefore, every three minutes of attacks, he would stop to meditate and rest for a period of time so that he could maintain his optimum combat state.
Bai Yulan let out a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at Victor. He was still in his initial state. Nothing unexpected happened.
An hour later.
The moment the Void Magic Stone’s blood essence was completely absorbed by Victor, the Wood Spirit Embryo in his dantian had already grown into a towering tree!
New blood flowed into the blood vessels like red mercury. Wherever it pa.s.sed, wounds healed rapidly.
The process of rebuilding the body and the new blood was rapidly depleting the spiritual power in Victor’s body. More than half of it was quickly consumed.
However, after the spiritual power was exhausted to a certain extent, the wood spiritual power in the spirit embryo was automatically released, combining the power of nature and the power of life.
Victor’s body changed imperceptibly, and at the same time, his cultivation level was also changing.
However, from the outside, the life in Victor’s body was extremely weak. His spiritual power was also hidden in the spirit embryo. Other than Victor himself, no one else could feel it at all.
Boom!
Outside the barrier, Hu Zhi and the others started to attack again. Hu Ba was already impatient. He didn’t expect the seemingly weak array formation to be so tough.
“Uncle, let’s use our ultimate move together. We don’t know how long it will take. It has already been more than two hours. If we delay any longer, reinforcements might arrive. We’ll be in trouble then,” Hu Ba said anxiously.
Hu Zhi muttered to himself. Before this, he had been holding back.
He was worried that forcefully opening the barrier would consume too much spiritual power. If that happened, he might let that kid escape again.
Now that things were being dragged out, he had gradually lost his patience.
After all, this was the territory of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, and that kid seemed to be a genius from some mystic realm sect. If he dragged it out for too long, it was inevitable that something would go wrong.
“Okay, let’s attack together!”
Hu Zhiqing shouted, and the gray fog around his body became denser. The rest of them also began to slowly acc.u.mulate energy.
Not long after, the dazzling moves heavily hit the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation.
Boom!
The Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation underwent a violent transformation, like a small wooden boat in a ma.s.sive wave.
Bai Yulan’s face was extremely pale. She clenched her fists even more tightly, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Just a little more!”
Hu Ba shouted. He was the one who had put in the most effort. After all, he was not Victor’s match even if he conserved his spiritual power, so he could freely attack.
Hu Zhi frowned. He didn’t care that the spiritual power in his body was weakening. He clenched his teeth and used another powerful martial technique.
Crack…
The sound of gla.s.s breaking could be heard. A visible crack finally appeared on the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation.
Bai Yulan’s breathing stopped when she saw the crack. She bit her lips in pain and took out a dagger from her storage ring.
After a deep breath, the cold dagger in her hand rushed towards her throat!
At the same time, with a loud bang, the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation was completely shattered, and the huge shock wave sent the dagger flying!
“You want to die? It’s won’t be that easy!”
Hu Zhi appeared beside Bai Yulan like a ghost, and a skinny hand grabbed her wrist.
At the same time, a powerful spiritual power surged into Bai Yulan’s body, directly sealing all the meridians in her body.
The gap between a foundation establishment and a spirit gathering realm cultivator was too big.
“Ah!” Bai Yulan screamed, and her beautiful face turned pale.
A thought surged into her heart, and she thought to herself, “My chance to commit suicide is gone!”
“Haha, you cunning girl, let’s see where you can run to this time!”
Hu Ba laughed evilly. He looked at the impressive figure of Bai Yulan.
He had always viewed his junior sister, who had taken away a large amount of his cultivation resources, as a thorn in his flesh. He wished that he could imprison her and play with her.
“Huh? This guy?”
Hu Ba suddenly noticed Victor under the tree next to him. His eyes were filled with confusion.
“How did he become like this?”
His skin was black and red, and his body was covered in blood scabs. This death was too tragic!
“He swallowed the Void Magic Stone. How stupid. Did he think that he could rely on the Void Magic Stone to make a breakthrough at the last moment and kill us?”
Hu Zhi sneered and said with a gloomy face.
Hu Ba spread his spiritual sense. Suddenly, he clearly felt a trace of life fluctuation on Victor’s body.
“This kid is not dead yet?” Huba asked in surprise.
Hu Zhi was a little puzzled, then he shook his head and said, “It’s no use. After swallowing the Void Magic Stone, he will definitely die. Even for me, it’ll be a narrow escape from death, not to mention him.”
“I can torture him for a while.”
Hu Ba walked over with a sinister smile. He drew his sword and stabbed Victor’s wrist, trying to break the tendons on Victor’s hand.
The sword stabbed downwards, but it was not as deep as he had imagined. The blade only penetrated a little bit, cutting open the dark red blood scab, but it could not penetrate any further.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Hu Ba frowned. Then he saw that Victor’s blood scab was torn apart like pieces of paper.
The skin under the blood scab was as red and smooth as a baby’s.
Another slash, but it didn’t leave any scars.
Hu Ba’s face was full of shock. He didn’t believe it and slashed Victor a few more times.
Each slash only cut open the dry and cracked black and red scab. The skin behind the scab was extremely tough and no scratches were left.
“Little Ba, come back!”
Hu Zhi’s expression changed. Something wasn’t right!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, it was already too late.
Victor, who had been sitting under the tree like a living dead, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils turned into a deep dark golden color.
A ray of light that was as sharp as lightning shot out from his pupils. He looked coldly at the panicked Hu Ba.
