Chapter 1765: Purple Clouds From East

Xiang Shaoyun's attack was smashed apart while numerous injuries appeared all over his body. The Devil Dome Palm was truly powerful. It unleashed a level of strength that was beyond Xiang Shaoyun's ability to stop.

However, the intense attack seemed to have smashed through his bottleneck as well. A crisp sound rang out within his body as though a shell had shattered. His astral cosmos sea had almost been emptied of energy from the intense battle, but it was instantly filled with energy again.

The energy coursed through Xiang Shaoyun's meridians like a torrential river while his body started healing rapidly. A powerful suction force erupted from his body, incessantly pulling in the energy from all around him regardless of the complexity of the energy's composition.

Everyone sensed the change Xiang Shaoyun was undergoing. They had thought that he was using some secret technique to heal. Some thought that the change was probably his final struggle before death.

The alien shrouded in darkness was the only person to think differently. His fiendish eyes became visible as he sank into short doubt. He roared, "You're borrowing my strength to break through? How audacious!"

The alien charged forth before once again sending his palms toward Xiang Shaoyun. A blanket of devilish energy descended upon Xiang Shaoyun with an even stronger might than the previous attack. The alien believed that this attack was strong enough to destroy both Xiang Shaoyun's body and soul.

Since Xiang Shaoyun was in the midst of a breakthrough, the alien aimed to not only interfere with the breakthrough but also to erase all the energy around Xiang Shaoyun to render the breakthrough unsuccessful.

Just as the palm attack was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun's body suddenly enlarged to the size of a mountain. He opened his mouth and moved to swallow the palm attack. That shocking sight stunned all onlookers—aliens and humans.

"This human must have hit his head earlier. He dares to swallow Lord Ming Zi's energy? He must be courting death."

"Who does he think he is? Not even someone in the Nine Revolutions Realm would dare do something like this."

...

"Hmph. What a fool," said Qin Jiu with a sneer.

He did not think that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to consume that palm attack. Only someone stupid would think of doing that.

"If he really can consume that palm, I'll write my name backwards from now on," said the Celestial War King.

He had been working alongside Di Lin. Since the two were extremely crafty individuals, they had avoided the stronger aliens. Thus, they had been able to survive until now.

Immediately, the palm entered Xiang Shaoyun's mouth.

After consuming the palm attack, Xiang Shaoyun's body grew even larger. He roared, "Is this all you have?"

At the same time, some devilish energy started leaking out of his body, as though his body was about to explode after swallowing the Devil Dome Palm.

"Interesting. Why don't you try to eat two of my palms?" said Ming Zi with a snort. Then, he unleashed an even stronger attack with both his palms.

Devil Fork Seal!

That was an extremely odd attack as the energy forming the attack constantly crisscrossed, forming a terrifying death energy that shot toward Xiang Shaoyun. The attack was nearing Ming Zi's full power. The moment the death energy entered one's body, one would have one's life force completely erased.

The Devil Fork Seal was one of Ming Zi's more powerful techniques. After all, any life form would have a hard time dealing with its death energy. However, Xiang Shaoyun again swallowed the attack. His mouth was akin to a black hole, capable of swallowing everything.

The exceedingly destructive attack entered his stomach, placing heavy stress on his body. His meridians and organs were directly turned into mincemeat, but after the energy reached his astral cosmos sea, it was instantly tamed.

After all, the astral cosmos sea was filled with primal inception energy, the most powerful energy in existence. Due to Xiang Shaoyun's state of breakthrough, his astral cosmos sea was filled with primal inception energy, allowing him to instantly assimilate the death energy and turn it into primal inception energy. Even so, Xiang Shaoyun still felt like he still needed more energy to complete his breakthrough.

"Your energy is too weak," said Xiang Shaoyun with contempt.

Devilish energy kept leaking out of his body, making Xiang Shaoyun look like he was about to explode anytime soon. All the onlookers believed that he was merely putting forth a tough front. In fact, even Ming Zi believed so. Initially, he had believed that Xiang Shaoyun was using his energy to break through, but Xiang Shaoyun looked more like he was about to die than break through.

Such provocation from someone almost dead infuriated Ming Zi, so he unleashed even more equally stunning attacks. He refused to believe his death energy wouldn't be able to get rid of Xiang Shaoyun.

As more and more energy entered Xiang Shaoyun's body, he finally broke through his final bottleneck. His astral cosmos sea and devil pearl erupted with a terrifying suction force, emptying his surroundings of energy. Even the onlookers farther away could feel an energy vacuum around them.

"What's going on? Even the chaotic energy in space was devoured?"

"Is he trained in some godly swallowing technique? Allowing him to swallow everything?"

"That doesn't seem to be the case. I can feel his energy surging, as though he is going to break through at any moment."

"He must have gone crazy and decided to kill both the alien and himself through self-detonation."

"Look, he's still growing! He's as big as a planet already!"

"What's that? Nine shining stars have appeared, releasing a constant stream of energy toward Xiang Shaoyun!"

...

The phenomenon of nine stars had reappeared. Nine energies of different colors converged on Xiang Shaoyun's body and revolved around him. Purple clouds abruptly appeared around him, emanating a pure and majestic aura that caused everyone to inadvertently breathe heavier.

Purple clouds from the east!

That was a supreme phenomenon. It contained the most original and powerful of energies, something that all Gods dreamed of encountering. Like the primal chaos energy, this energy was also extremely rare. It was unlike the tiny bit of purple aura that would appear every day at dawn. Rather, this phenomenon was formed from the purple aura of the nine heavenly stars. Even absorbing a tiny bit of it would make up a hundred or even a thousand years' worth of cultivation.

Everyone present started madly absorbing the energy, hoping to absorb some of the purple energy. Unfortunately, their efforts were for nothing as the stream of purple energy was heading straight toward Xiang Shaoyun. Everyone was filled with envy.

Not even Ming Zi could remain calm. The darkness around him scattered, revealing a handsome face and a unique rune on his forehead, a rune only members of the Imperial Nether Clan would have.

"Don't even think of absorbing the purple energy!" said Ming Zi as he formed several hand seals and summoned the Nether Yin Gate to pull at the purple energy.
