Chapter 1310 - 1136: Changing the Subject
"Who exactly is up ahead?"The exotic realm creatures near the stone statue were full of doubt, having long sensed a strong Divine Power ahead.
To them, such powerful Divine Power was their supplement.
As long as they could devour, absorb, and refine that Divine Power, their cultivation and combat power would become even stronger.
But since that surge of Divine Power emitted a force that blocked their advance, they dared not move forward.
Once they moved closer to that Divine Power, their bodies would be counterattacked by it.
However, if it were other living creatures, they could approach that Divine Power.
But, if it were other living creatures, they wouldn't be able to devour, absorb, or refine that Divine Power.
Yet now, there was an exception, and that exception was Duan Gujin.
In this world, besides Duan Gujin, there was also Zhao Wuji, who was also an exception.
As that Divine Power grew weaker, those exotic realm creatures sensed the force that blocked their advance becoming feeble, and naturally, they wanted to go forward and find out.
Once the force counteracting their advance disappeared, they would charge in and seize the Divine Power within.
Gao Yingxiu discovered those exotic realm creatures and felt very tense.
She saw those exotic realm creatures lingering outside, not rushing in, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
But what puzzled her was that she saw those exotic realm creatures not leaving, but always lingering outside.
Every so often, those exotic realm creatures would voluntarily advance a little distance.
At first, she was worried they might be waiting for reinforcements.
But as time passed, she felt those exotic realm creatures did not seem to be waiting for reinforcements.
She noticed that every so often, they would advance a bit towards her current position.
If those exotic realm creatures were truly waiting for reinforcements, they either would always wait outside, or charge in directly, rather than advancing step by step like now.
After observing for a while, Gao Yingxiu thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that these exotic realm creatures sensed the strange fluctuation from the stone statue weakening, so they are approaching step by step?"
After pondering for a while, she felt there was a high possibility.
After another two hours passed, the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul released by Duan Gujin had devoured three-quarters of the Divine Power inside the stone statue, and there were almost only two legs left of the stone statue.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, retrieved the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, sensing its fatigue, it retreated to his soul sea and fell into a deep sleep.
He initially intended to awaken the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to let it completely absorb the remaining one-quarter of the Divine Power inside the stone statue.
However, he quickly discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul sleeping deep within the soul sea remained immobile, as if it were fast asleep.
"Darn it! It let me down at a crucial moment!"
Duan Gujin touched his nose, knowing that since it was asleep, he could no longer disturb it.
Thus, he decided to try placing the remaining part of the stone statue into his storage ring.
After some attempts, he realized the stone statue could not be placed into the storage ring.
"It seems the stone statue has spatial Rule Power inside! The spatial Rule Power inside it prevents it from being absorbed by the storage ring!"
Such were the thoughts of Duan Gujin in his mind.
He pondered for quite a while but still couldn't think of a good method.
Helplessly, he could only choose to give up.
"I'd better come back later to devour the Divine Power inside this stone."
He stepped out of the array that blocked Divine Sense detection, extending his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings.
Soon, he detected more than a dozen Killing Arrays nearby.
Moreover, Gao Yingxiu was meditating within a Defensive Magic Array.
At that moment, she already sensed Duan Gujin coming out from within, and her figure flickered as she disappeared within the Defensive Magic Array.
In less than three breaths, she appeared in front of Duan Gujin.
"Duan Gujin, was everything smooth inside?"
Gao Yingxiu asked.
"Relatively smooth!"
Duan Gujin touched his nose, his eyes flickering, as he pondered how to explain to Gao Yingxiu why the stone statue was already three-quarters gone.
Previously, they both had tried heavily to break that stone statue, knowing it was extremely hard, but now it had almost only two legs left, which made no sense at all.
"There are probably about a hundred exotic realm creatures outside, continually approaching us, but they are moving very slowly! What do you think we should do?"
Gao Yingxiu asked.
"Then have you guessed why they are doing this?"
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow and asked.
"I guess they might feel there is something in here they really want, but they cannot approach here. However, as that something gradually weakened just now, they are getting closer step by step. I think those exotic realm creatures are probably coming for that stone statue! I noticed the power coming from that stone statue seems to have weakened a lot!"
Gao Yingxiu said.
Duan Gujin furrowed his brows, interpreting her words as Gao Yingxiu probing him.
"I was using the Burning Fire Heart Method to burn that stone statue earlier; unexpectedly, although the stone statue is very sturdy, it is not fire-resistant and quickly burned down more than half!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, thinking of this excuse.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Gao Yingxiu's mind spun rapidly; she knew that in this world, there indeed were materials that were extremely hard but feared high temperatures greatly.
What Duan Gujin said made a lot of sense.
Seeing that Gao Yingxiu did not continue to press for answers, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief.
If later, Gao Yingxiu tries to burn it but can't incinerate that stone statue, he would say that the Burning Fire Heart Method is not an ordinary cultivation method, and only the flame he releases can reduce the stone of that statue to ashes.
Perfect explanation!
Duan Gujin exhaled a sigh of relief, finally not having to worry about Gao Yingxiu suspecting how he managed to leave only a quarter of the stone statue.
"Have you seen any large reinforcements from those exotic realm creatures?"
Duan Gujin quickly changed the topic.
"I haven't seen any yet!"
Gao Yingxiu was unsuspecting and, although she thought Duan Gujin could burn more than half of that incredibly hard stone statue, she assumed it was due to a secret technique Duan Gujin utilized.
"Or he has a Treasure given by the Immortal Domain Master that can be used to burn some extremely hard materials!"
Such were the thoughts in Gao Yingxiu's mind.
She attributed issues she couldn't understand to the Immortal Domain Master behind Duan Gujin, thus rationalizing all the seemingly illogical things Duan Gujin did.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense outward and soon saw hundreds of exotic realm creatures.
Looking at those exotic realm creatures, his eyes flickered.
Now, although the Black Hole World was temporarily stable, once the array set by the Immortal Domain Immortals lost its effect, those exotic realm creatures would occupy the Black Hole World, making it their forward base for entering the Divine World.
With this base in the Black Hole World, the rule power of the Otherworld would soon infiltrate the Divine World.
The collision of two different rule powers would create strong spatial fluctuations and chaos.
Once the Rule Power of the Divine World is altered, the activities of Divine World Martial Artists in the Divine World would be significantly affected, and their combat power would be thoroughly weakened.
In the confrontation with exotic realm creatures, the Divine World Martial Artists would be at a disadvantage.
Preventing the infiltration of Otherworld Rule Power into the Divine World is the best way to protect the Divine World.
"I suddenly want to find out what those exotic realm creatures are doing inside the Black Hole World. I think we need to capture some exotic realm creatures alive and forcibly read their memories!"
Duan Gujin suddenly said.
