The Laws of Dark Power, Chen Chu emerges from seclusion.
Boom! The ground forged from ice crystals trembles.
In the Ice Crystal Subtemple, which is over a thousand meters high and wide, centered around the thunder blaze heavenly dragon, thunder and flames merge with purple energy, forming a domain that spreads to envelop all directions.
As the energy of the domain fills the space, sealing off any possible prying eyes, the thunder blaze heavenly dragon takes a deep breath, filled with anticipation.
Buzz!
On both sides, three pairs of feathered horns illuminate with intricate silver runes, reconstructed several times more complex during those few days of seclusion, burning with fierce golden-purple flames.
The space of the mythical world is stable and powerful, making it naturally more challenging to open a temporary passage across long distances.
However, at this moment, the power of the thunder blaze heavenly dragon rivals that of the mythical peak, even stronger, and with improved spatial runes, a one-meter-diameter silver vortex slowly emerges from the flames.
In the heart of the forbidden zone, Chen Chu, towering at eighty meters, with three faces and six arms, akin to an ancient demon god, slowly opens his eyes, his right arm suddenly radiating golden-red light.
Buzz!
With a tremor in space, another one-meter-diameter vortex appears in front of Chen Chu.
The purple little dragon atop the thunder blaze heavenly dragon curiously watches the life crystals disappearing into the vortex, extending its tiny claw: “Eee? Eee?”
The black-red ferocious behemoth slightly opens its mouth, voice deep: “I am sacrificing.”
“Eee? Eee?” The purple little dragon is further puzzled, not understanding why the thunder blaze heavenly dragon is sacrificing those shiny crystals, and to whom?
Soon, thousands of crystals pass through the passage. The thunder blaze heavenly dragon suddenly roars, unleashing terrifying power, and the silver vortex above its head abruptly expands to over ten meters.
At the moment the spatial passage enlarges, a powerful rebound force erupts, causing the thunder blaze heavenly dragon to feel a weight, and cracks appear in its hard scales.
Simultaneously, huge essence of behemoths appears in the thunder blaze heavenly dragon's claws, especially a piece of black-red essence refined from the bones of the King of Black Abyss.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Withstanding the spatial rebound force, the muscles of the thunder blaze giant beast's claws bulge, and under its terrifying strength, the essence of the King of Black Abyss is forcefully broken into four pieces and thrown into the passage.
Boom!
At the moment all the essence of the behemoths passes through the passage, the spatial passage, now devoid of power support, suddenly collapses. Under the powerful impact, the entire Ice Crystal Subtemple trembles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Chu gasps heavily; the backlash from forcibly enlarging the spatial passage is immense, especially since the thunder blaze heavenly dragon bears most of the spatial backlash.
However, looking at the thousands of low-level life crystals floating in the void and the powerful energy fluctuations from the essence of the behemoths, a smile appears on Chen Chu's face.
Taking a moment to calm down, Chen Chu begins to store those essences into the Xumi Bracelet and starts converting the life crystals.
"You have converted a high-purity life gem, gaining 892 attribute points."
"You have converted a high-purity life gem, gaining 3915 attribute points."
"You have converted a high-purity life gem, gaining 35 attribute points..."
As each life crystal is converted, the attribute points on Chen Chu's transparent page surge wildly, quickly surpassing thirty thousand, then forty thousand, finally stopping at 84,321.
Of the more than eighty thousand attribute points gained this time, about sixty thousand come from the mutated orca army led by female orcas.
The remaining twenty thousand or so come from the three giant beasts of the silver giant dragon, which killed those seventh and eighth-level behemoths encountered while sweeping across the ocean.
