“Ah, what a fragrant essence! It's been so long since I've smelled something this delightful. Kekeke, this time, I shall give you a little benefit since you are still obedient. In the future, the more essence you give me, the more benefits I will bestow upon you.”
The jade bottle emitted a pleasant sound, transmitting an incomparably pure power that crashed into Mo Li's body with a bang, causing the true energy within him to surge wildly. He felt his entire body relax as if he were floating in the clouds.
“Ah!”
He let out a low growl. This energy was too pure, exuding terrifying might that continually transformed his flesh.
Half an hour later!
“Boom!”
Accompanied by the violent aura erupting from Mo Li's body, the jade bottle finally stopped transmitting energy.
“This time, I have suffered a great loss. You've only given me such a small amount of essence, yet I have made you break through a realm in one go. How about it, do you now know my power? As long as you provide me with enough essence, I can continuously enhance your strength.”
“Alright, I have just awakened after being sealed for tens of thousands of years and am very weak. I need to continue my slumber. Wake me up again when you have a large amount of new essence.”
The voice from the jade bottle carried a tinge of weakness before quickly falling silent.
After drifting in front of Mo Li, the jade bottle dropped with a thud.
Mo Li caught the jade bottle and put it into his storage ring, feeling the surging true essence within him, his eyes filled with unprecedented excitement.
“Seventh level, I actually broke through to the seventh level! Hahaha, Qin Chen, just wait. After I find the Lord of the Helm, I'll personally take your head! Hahaha!”
Mo Li laughed loudly, and with a boom, the demonic aura around him surged. He instantly transformed into a black streak of light and rushed out of the cave.
Mo Li couldn't even imagine that the Qin Chen he mentioned was currently hunting down the Lord of the Helm, whom he admired.
Three days later.
In the depths of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
Whoosh!
A blue lightning bolt transformed into a shadow, flashing across the pitch-black sky of the secret realm, causing countless blood demon beasts below to cower in shock.
After a moment, swish, this figure stopped on a black hill. A faint vertical eye appeared on his forehead, narrowing slightly as he scanned the surrounding scene.
It was none other than Qin Chen, who had been relentlessly tracking the Skeleton Lord.
“Swish!”
A large black cat appeared beside Qin Chen, baring its teeth and exclaiming, “This skeleton ghost is really too fast! We've been chasing for three days, and there's still no sign of him. It's driving me mad!”
After three days of tracking, they found that the Skeleton Lord refused to engage them in battle. After a few encounters, he only exchanged a few moves before fleeing, which left the large black cat speechless with frustration.
“Humph, he can't escape.”
Qin Chen sneered, his gaze proud. With his Eye of Breaking the Sealing, everything around him was clearly presented in his mind. Any minuscule detail, such as the floating dust in the air and subtle changes in the world's true energy, could not escape his tracking.
Especially since Qin Chen had also mastered a certain level of spatial intent, he had a keen perception of the changes in space. Unless the Skeleton Lord's speed greatly surpassed his own, trying to escape his pursuit would be like a pipe dream.
“Humph, this skeleton ghost clearly can't escape, yet he still desperately tries to flee. I wonder what he is thinking.” The large black cat rested while expressing its dissatisfaction.
Qin Chen furrowed his brow.
After three days of tracking, he believed that with the Skeleton Lord's strength, he should realize that it was impossible to escape. Continuing like this would only worsen his injuries; after all, he couldn't properly rest and heal while fleeing.
Instead, he should gamble everything and fight back fiercely, as that might offer him a glimmer of hope.
