Chapter 1278: 565: Astonishing breakthrough in cultivation! Unprecedented! _2

The Mirror Demon King said, "The Eye of the Ghost King is actually an energy body, without any real substance. Now that it has become a gemstone, it is actually just a condensation of countless energies, so it seems to have substance. The only thing it is interested in is the starry sky. So, as long as I create an identical starry illusion, all the energy inside it will immediately disperse because it instinctively wants to roam and explore the starry sky, feeling that only in the endless starry sky can it accommodate its free and unrestrained soul, allowing it to release fully and use every trace of energy to touch every star."

Lanling couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.

This Ghost King truly had the sentiment of a poet.

This Eye of the Ghost King is indeed a priceless piece of art, containing a mysterious and brilliant world, a free and unrestrained soul.

To destroy it truly would be a pity.

"Let’s begin!" Lanling said.

The Mirror Demon King said, "You continue to immerse yourself in the world of the Eye of the Ghost King, and then wait for its energy release. You don’t need to do anything; it will enter your body because, after all, this isn’t the pure starry sky. This is a sullied world, and its spirit and energy have nowhere to reside, so they must immediately find an energy body to inhabit. Therefore, its spiritual energy will enter my mirror, while its magical energy will enter your body."

No wonder no one could devour the energy of the Eye of the Ghost King since the process is so profound.

Then, Lanling continued to gaze at the Eye of the Ghost King.

Immediately, his spirit was completely immersed in the starry world within.

These starry skies are all real, the result of the Ghost King’s soul exploration for countless years. Every star here exists truly, and their shapes, glows are all real.

Lanling couldn’t help but search for the moon and sun of this star system, effortlessly finding them.

Then, Lanling was drawn to this world’s sun.

Pure flame, an energy both mysterious and bright.

It compelled him to approach, closer and closer.

However, the sun’s energy was too powerful, and even getting close in spirit would result in being obliterated.

The Ghost King was once unable to get closer, so Lanling couldn’t either.

Thus, Lanling attempted to land on the moon of this world.

The moon in this world is about several hundred thousand kilometers away from the main planet, a not-so-far distance considering the speed of soul travel.

Lanling swiftly soared, quickly approaching.

Then... he surprisingly found that the moon in this world had brilliant radiance, with palatial structures, another world indeed.

And just when he was about to continue exploring, suddenly a powerful energy was released from the moon and attacked. The Ghost King’s vision desperately pulled away, and naturally, Lanling did too, thus rendering him unable to see clearly the world on the moon.

"Master, I’m beginning!" said the Mirror Demon King.

At this moment, the Mirror Demon King emerged with spiritual power, releasing a magnificent starry illusion.

Identical to the real starry sky.

The Eye of the Ghost King had lost its soul, lost its will, and the only thing it had was instinct.

Upon seeing the starry illusion... it immediately burst forth with energy!

It wanted to explore; it wanted to release every inch of energy to sense every star.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The substantial Eye of the Ghost King vanished, suddenly exploding.

It turned into endless memories, endless spiritual energy, and a portion of magical energy.

This wasn’t the Ghost King itself; it was merely its eye.

Over ninety-nine percent was spiritual energy, with only a small portion being magical energy.

After the dispersal of the Eye of the Ghost King, it abruptly realized this wasn’t the real starry sky. This is a sullied world; it couldn’t place its vision, its memory, its spirit here.

So, it desperately searched for a sanctuary.

It found two energy bodies, a mirror, and a Golden Demon Body.

Then, the endless spiritual energy, carrying starry memories, drilled into the Mirror Demon King.

A small portion of the magical energy poured into Lanling’s body.

And the Lanling who was originally immersed in the memories of the Eye of the Ghost King instantly witnessed the most magnificent, most dazzling scene in this world.

He saw the moon, suddenly bursting.

He saw the sun, suddenly bursting.

He saw countless stars, instantly bursting, turning into countless rays of strange light.

The entire resplendent starry sky exploded into colorful and bright rays.

Then, like a hurricane, a storm of energy rushed into his body.

The magical energy that had been lodged in the Eye of the Ghost King crazily entered Lanling’s body, into his bloodstream.

Lanling felt his entire body expanding, every tendon surging.

Immensely hot yet incredibly cold, extremely painful yet unutterably pleasurable!

The energy hurricane, madly surging in!

Devouring crazily, cultivation skyrocketing!

...

After a full quarter of an hour, everything calmed down!

Lanling’s devouring ended, and the Mirror Demon King’s devouring also ended.

Lanling returned to reality, standing on the mountain top, facing the Mirror Demon King.

He looked at himself in the mirror, still a terrifyingly huge Demon King.

"Mirror, I know how the Ghost King died." Lanling said.

The Mirror Demon King said, "I also know, it learned things it shouldn’t have known, and therefore was killed."

The Mirror Demon King was this powerful, yet still, it was killed, suggesting how terrifyingly strong the one who killed it must be?

Lanling said, "Mirror, who died first, the Ghost King or the Dragon Emperor?"

The Mirror Demon King said, "According to the timeline you mentioned, it should be that the Dragon Emperor fell first, and the Ghost King’s death was twelve years later than the Dragon Emperor."

Lanling said, "Have you already received all the Ghost King’s memories?"

"Yes, once this battle is over, and my energy is depleted, I will enter your body, at which time you can explore the Ghost King’s visual memories. However, I must tell you, it will be very dangerous." the Mirror Demon King said, "The mysterious world on the moon, even if you explore it once again within the Ghost King’s visual memories, will still alert them and bring about their pursuit."

Lanling nodded and said, "I understand."

The Mirror Demon King said, "Master, I know what you are thinking, but now is not the time, you best not even think about it. Becoming stronger is your only mission, unifying the entire Southern Barbarian, establishing the Flame Demon Empire, is currently your sole direction. Concerning the Dragon Emperor, regarding the world on the moon, you shouldn’t ponder."

Lanling said, "I know, sometimes knowing too much beforehand is of no benefit."

The Mirror Demon King said, "Yes, now I have enough energy to lead Konstantin’s thirty thousand Allied Army into a death trap, we just need to wait for twelve days to come."

"Yes, wait for twelve days, wait for the great battle." Lanling sighed, "By that time, it will be the moment our Flame Demon Tribe takes off."

The Mirror Demon King laughed, "Master, shall we inspect your gains?"

Its tone was deliberately light.

Lanling had long ago prepared stone bars atop this mountain.

Three thousand six hundred pounds, representing a breakthrough to a great Demon Warrior.

After all, the magical energy in the Eye of the Ghost King was merely a very small part, who knows how great a breakthrough consuming it would bring?

Lanling took a deep breath, grasped the three thousand six hundred pound stone bar, and lifted suddenly.

He almost stumbled.

Not because of insufficient strength but because he exerted too much force, thinking it would be hard, yet it was so easy that he nearly stumbled due to too much strength.

Lanling was stunned.

Then, he picked up the three thousand nine hundred pound stone bar.

Surprisingly... surprisingly lifted it easily once again.

Wasn’t it said that the magical energy in the Eye of the Ghost King was very small? How? How did it bring such a tremendous breakthrough?

Then, Lanling selected the four thousand two hundred pound stone bar, which was a three-star great Demon Warrior.

However, Lanling still lifted it, with little effort.

This, this is damn astonishing!

An Eye of the Ghost King actually brought unprecedented breakthroughs, without any mental preparation.

Next, Lanling gazed at the four thousand five hundred pound stone bar, this was a four-star level great Demon Warrior, the same level of cultivation as Du Yan.

Taking a deep breath, Lanling grasped the four thousand five hundred pound stone bar, and lifted suddenly!
