Chapter 427: Chapter 411: Breakthroughs One After Another (1/3)

"Why aren’t you staying in the sea? What brought you here?" Zhou Heng asked offhandedly.

"We’re looking for treasure!" Little Crown Prince Ao Kongshan immediately responded.

"Little Crown Prince!" The three Snake Men shouted at the same time, each of them looking as disgusted as if they had swallowed a bellyful of flies.

"Treasure?" Black Donkey suddenly sprang up, his body wrapped in Immortal Cloud that flowed from its fur. It was due to the powerful effects of the "Sea-Sky Feast," just a tiny bit of essence overflowing was filled with energy.

Given how greedy and stingy that donkey was, how could it possibly waste it, quickly using its nose to frantically suck the Immortal Cloud back in.

This made everyone look on in disgust; eating and then vomiting, vomiting and then eating back—it was something only a cheap donkey could do.

"What treasure?" Black Donkey’s eyes sparkled as he stared intently at Ao Kongshan, almost afraid the little fellow would suddenly vanish.

"Heh heh, what treasure indeed!" the Fishman quickly said, "Everyone has eaten the ’Sea-Sky Feast,’ better to refine it quickly and absorb the essence so it’s not wasted!"

Black Donkey was about to say more, but Zhou Heng patted him on the back and shook his head with a smile. The Black Donkey got the hint; although the Fishman trio were tight-lipped, they had a little snotty child among them who was just too easy to deceive.

Refine first!

Everyone sat down on the spot, circulating their cultivation techniques to refine the energy contained in the top-grade medicinal feast and absorb it one by one.

This wasn’t dangerous, and they could stop at any time. Moreover, the Sea Clan’s three great experts knew they were no match for Zhou Heng. If he chose to attack, they would be instantly torn apart, so they faced the situation calmly, yet they still kept Ao Kongshan protected in the middle, in case of any unexpected incidents.

Zhou Heng focused intently, using the Falling Snow True Scripture to channel the Spiritual Power and guide the terrifying energy within his body.

The greatest benefit of the medicinal feast was not directly increasing spiritual power accumulation, but tempering the physique, and during this process, it opened every pore on the Martial Artist’s body to absorb nature’s spiritual energy.

Though the time was not long, throughout this ongoing period, the Martial Artist was akin to undergoing a realm ascension bathed in nature’s spiritual energy, rapidly increasing his cultivation speed.

If it directly increased spiritual power, Divine Infant Realm and Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artists would have vastly different results; one might feel nothing at all, and the other could have their body blown apart by the terrifying energy.

Of course, the medicinal feast itself truly contained massive energy, which was also the reason one shouldn’t eat too much even a Divine Infant Realm expert could be burst open by it!

During the prior scramble for food, Zhou Heng and Wang Ke had eaten the most.

No need to mention Wang Ke, naturally a born foodie with an abnormal physique and mysterious abilities. But Zhou Heng was itself in the Divine Infant Realm, and what’s more crucial, he had the physique of the Gold Devouring Clan!

Little Foodie could directly transform the food he consumed into his own spiritual power accumulations, and Zhou Heng was not far behind! The difference was, he "ate" metals, enhancing his physical strength and fortifying his physique.

But if Zhou Heng could eat even the toughest metals without harm, what were mere foods to him?

Thus, he had eaten the most of the medicinal feast, followed by Little Foodie, and then Black Donkey—who, for good items, would risk its life, even forcing its mouth open when full.

Zhou Heng, having eaten the most, naturally derived the most benefits. Under the influence of the drug, his pores opened wide, and the spiritual energy from all around surged toward him, as if he were the vortex center of nature’s spiritual energy.

His brows slightly furrowed. Though the spiritual energy flowed like water, filling up wherever it was drawn from to maintain balance, his swallowing speed was simply too fast. If he stayed in place, others could hardly hope to absorb a speck of spiritual energy!

Moving through sheer will, he floated up and soared directly into the clouds.

Buzzing, a golden figure stepped out of his forehead, wielding a black Broken Sword, dancing between heaven and earth. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, nature’s spiritual energy surged madly toward him, continuously entering his body.

Spiritual energy is intangible, completely imperceptible to ordinary people—only Martial Artists entering the Spirit Gathering Realm could sense and begin to absorb it. However, owing to Zhou Heng’s terrifying uptake speed, this spiritual energy became incredibly dense, visibly condensing into a mist around his body, raising him up as if he were an Immortal.

He was unmoved by shock or joy, merely trying his best to open every pore as wide as possible, not missing a single bit of spiritual energy, quickly boosting his accumulation of spiritual power.

As everyone had consumed different amounts of the medicinal feast, the four Sea Clan members naturally stopped first, having refined the drug’s potency and all showing satisfied expressions, their spiritual power accumulations each having grown significantly!

Even more importantly, the medicinal feast contained a large amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, which they couldn’t absorb all at once. Instead, these reserves would accumulate within their bodies, gradually manifesting over time, speeding their accumulation of spiritual power and bringing about a deeper understanding of heaven and earth!

—The ingredients were truly too precious; each portion taken alone could prompt high-tier Martial Artists to fight over it, let alone when combined together!

They looked at Black Donkey and Wang Ke, who were still meditating, showing envious expressions.

Clearly, the longer the refinement lasted, the greater the benefits. Wang Ke and Black Donkey had started refining the same time as them, and now every extra second they refined, they gained more than the rest.

On the other hand, Little Crown Prince Ao Kongshan was far more carefree, merely playing boredly with his snot, in and out. But soon, he cried out, "The Little Crown Prince is about to break through!"

He quickly sat down, and the door to the Land Cleaving Realm was already opening before him.

The three great experts of the Sea Clan immediately showed vigilant looks, standing guard around Ao Kongshan as if fearing an enemy might suddenly jump out from the surroundings to launch a surprise attack.

Ao Kongshan was clearly a monster as well, for merely an hour later, he had broken through and become a little expert of the Land Cleaving Realm!

"Hahaha, you hornless ugly child, let’s fight again!" Ao Kongshan called out triumphantly and extremely arrogantly to Wang Ke.

"Aiyoh, I have broken through too!" Black Donkey let out a strange cry, his figure trembling, a dark little donkey emerged on top of his head, roaring towards the heavens with a hint of a dragon’s roar, suddenly, its momentum dipped and surged, reaching the Third Layer Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The benefits it had received were obviously not yet exhausted, with the washing of nature’s spiritual energy, Black Donkey’s spiritual power was rapidly increasing, actually reaching the peak of Third Layer Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm all at once!

"Shit!" The Three Great Experts of the Sea Clan all cursed inwardly, although they too had received tremendous benefits, they had not broken through a minor realm, of course, the medicinal power was still accumulating in their bodies, which would eventually be enough to grant them an enhancement of a minor realm.

However, compared to Black Donkey, they had lost out big time!

You must know this "Sea-Sky Feast" was theirs, yet now others were benefiting more than them, how could they not feel aggrieved?

"That feels amazing!" Another hour passed, Wang Ke finally stopped as well, stretching luxuriously, crack, crack, crack, a succession of bone-cracking sounds accompanied his rolling momentum, which after a slight pause, immediately surged into the Land Cleaving Realm!

Pfft!

The Three Great Experts of the Sea Clan all spit out at the same time, originally thinking their own Little Crown Prince was extraordinarily gifted, already a monster, but compared to this little foodie, he seemed utterly normal!

A stretch and he had broken through a major realm, is this still human?

"Little brat, let’s fight again!" Ao Kongshan with commendable courage, issued another challenge.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Wang Ke’s stretch was not yet complete, his joints constantly crackling, and with each crisp sound, his aura continued to increase.

Land Cleaving Initial Period of First Layer Heaven, mid-stage, late stage, peak, breakthrough! Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven!

This!

Ao Kongshan immediately stared dumbfounded; under the same realm, he and Wang Ke had been evenly matched, now his opponent was forcefully a minor realm higher, how could he still play?

The Three Great Experts of the Sea Clan had their eyeballs almost popping out, their Little Crown Prince was already monster enough, but the gap compared to the foodie in front of them had suddenly widened too far.

"Let’s fight, who’s afraid of whom!" Wang Ke huffed.

Ao Kongshan’s face fell, he lacked the courage to fight at all; he wasn’t stupid, purely getting beaten up was not his thing.

"Eh, where’s Master?" Wang Ke looked around but didn’t see Zhou Heng, scratching his head in confusion.

"Yeah, where’s Zhou?" Black Donkey also raised its hoof and touched its head.

"Look in the sky!" Suddenly, a Lobster Person raised all eight limbs, pointing towards the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw in the sky, amidst the misty vapors, a vaguely seated figure, like an Immortal descended from the ninth heaven, full of nobility and dignity.

"This guy is still refining the medicinal power!" The Fishman said in great shock.

The longer the refinement, the more benefits one gains. Zhou Heng had been refining until now, just how many benefits had this guy received?

"Master is so amazing!" Wang Ke’s little eyes were full of twinkling stars.

"So impressive!" Ao Kongshan muttered as well.

"Snot Worm, why don’t you also take my Master as your master, then you’ll be my little brother!" Wang Ke said.

"Hmph, if this Prince is to acknowledge a Master, I’ll be the big brother!" Ao Kongshan immediately retorted.

"You want to fight me?"

"... This Prince hasn’t properly rested yet, just you wait!"

Hum!

Just then, the sky suddenly stirred with wind and clouds, the spiritual energy moved faster and faster, forming whirlwinds around Zhou Heng. These whirlwinds merged into a massive super whirlwind.

Zhou Heng was in the eye of the storm, with nature’s spiritual energy swirling madly, even those far below could feel the depletion of spiritual energy around them.

"Turns out this fellow is the biggest monster!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
