BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1321: Breakthrough to the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm
Within a short moment, these two bloodline powers had completely devoured the saint soil energy within Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s spirit nucleus had just turned gold, but the loss of the rest of the saint soil energy caused only one half to consolidate to gold while the other half reverted back to a pale yellow.
"I only broke into the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm." After feeling the color of his spirit nucleus, his heart burned with anger.
Qingfeng Li could have been able to break into the Spirit Emperor Realm, but because of the Devourer and Wolf God Bloodlines, his spirit nucleus absorbed only a fraction of the saint soil energy. There was no more energy left after he reached the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm.
"You two bastards. You dare to come swallow my saint soil energy, but don’t even bother to say hi?" Qingfeng Li angrily asked the two bloodline powers.
In the face of Qingfeng Li’s question, both the Wolf God Bloodline and Devourer Bloodline did not respond. Instead, they swallowed at a faster rate and absorbed all the remaining saint soil energy in Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li almost died from frustration. Despite how angry he was, his body’s bloodline powers were just ignoring him. They just went back to lurking inside his body.
"Forget it, I do not care about it anymore." Qingfeng Li could only comfort himself. Then, he stood up and walked outside.
Although there was no breakthrough to the Spirit Emperor Realm, Qingfeng Li was now at the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm. His strength was quite powerful.
Qingfeng Li came out of the cave, and Black Puppy looked at him and said, "You have fully refined the saint soil in your hands. How come you haven’t reached the Spirit Emperor Realm? Was your talent not good enough?"
As Black Puppy talked, it wagged its tail. Its small puppy eyes looked at Qingfeng Li as if it was sure that Qingfeng Li’s talent was not enough.
If the saint soil was given to Black Puppy instead, it would certainly have been able to break through to the Spirit Emperor Realm after refining and absorbing it. But, Black Puppy did not get the saint soil, so it was a little pissed.
Qingfeng Li took out his right hand and directly slapped the top of Black Puppy’s head. He said angrily, "You are the one without enough talent. If you talk any more trash, I’ll make a stew out of you."
Qingfeng Li was not in a good mood. He was actually in an extremely bad mood. It was not easy to acquire the saint soil, and the Black-White Millstone and the Fire Dragon fought for it. Afterwards, the Wolf God Bloodline and the Devourer Bloodline came to snatch it as well.
Even now, this Black Puppy also wanted the saint soil. But it had been refined by Qingfeng Li, and he could no longer obtain it.
"Qingfeng Li, why are you hitting my head?" Black puppy shook its tail to express its dissatisfaction.
Qingfeng Li faintly smiled, glanced at him, and said, "Stop talking trash and quickly find the entrance to the second floor of Hell for me."
Black Puppy’s eyes showed a touch of dissatisfaction, but it knew that the most important thing right now was to find the entrance to the next level of Hell. It can deal with Qingfeng Li later.
Black puppy led the way. It was familiar with the environment here, so they were able to avoid some danger. Qingfeng Li and the Wolf Fang Team safely followed behind it.
Hell’s sky was dark, as pitch black as ink. There was no sun nor moon and the ground was varying shades of black and dark gray.
Fortunately, Qingfeng Li and the others were self-cultivators. They all had luminous objects to light the way and they all had good eyesights, so they could see really far. So at the first level of Hell, they were able to avoid accidentally falling into rivers or walking off of cliffs.
"There’re a lot of dead people. How come there’s more and more dead people as we move forward?" Qingfeng Li frowned.
Qingfeng Li found that there were many dead self-cultivators on the ground as they walked straight ahead. Every self-cultivator died miserably, either pierced through the heart or beheaded.
Black Puppy waved its paw to stop the group from moving. Its face was serious as it looked at those who died.
"Puppy, what did you find out?" Qingfeng Li asked.
Black Puppy’s expression was very serious and it said, "These people didn’t die normally. It looks like they were killed by a hell snake."
"A hell snake?" Qingfeng Li frowned, a touch of surprise in his eyes.
Naturally, Qingfeng Li knew all about the hell snake. Last time, when Qingfeng Li was in the Forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountains, he had jumped into a cliff in order to save his father. On the cliff, he met a hell snake. It could breath hellfire as hot as three thousand degrees, which was quite terrifying.
However, last time, the hell snake had been killed by Qingfeng Li. So this time, what would happen?
"Little Puppy, if there’s only one hell snake, it won’t be my opponent. You can rest assured," Qingfeng Li said with a confident look.
Qingfeng Li not only broke through to the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm, he also had a lot of spiritual treasures. He was very confident about dealing with the hell snake.
Before Qingfeng Li could finish talking, Black Puppy waved its paw and said, "Do you think there’s only one hell snake? Within the first level of Hell, there are at least tens of thousands of hell snakes. Can you handle all of them?"
Qingfeng Li’s face changed. If there were tens of thousands of hell snakes, he would be a little bit scared. Qingfeng Li dealt with hell snakes before, so he knew how formidable they were.
Qingfeng Li was confident in killing one hell snake, and even ten or a hundred hell snakes should be okay. But if there were tens of thousands, then he would not be able to handle it.
Qingfeng Li turned his eyes and he suddenly thought of the black demonic rats. There were more than 10,000 black demonic rats, so the black demonic rats should be able to handle the hell snakes.
Qingfeng Li turned to Black Demonic Rat King and said, "Gather your men together and deal with the hell snakes."
The Black Demonic Rat King shook his head and said, "Master, hell snakes are the natural predator of black demonic rats. Within the first level of Hell, they often swallow us and treat us as food. We cannot compete with them at all."
This time around, Daoist went to Qingfeng Li and said, "Boss, did you forget? In Huaxia, snakes eat mice. The same rule applies in the first level of Hell, hell snakes will also eat the black demonic rats."
Qingfeng Li nodded and suddenly realized it. It seemed that using the black demonic rats to deal with the hell snakes will not work.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li thought of the saint soil. His saint soil was swallowed by the Black-White Millstone and the Fire Dragon’s soul. So even if they encountered thousands of hell snake, he could just get them to help.
"Do not be afraid, follow me and keep walking forward. Stand behind me if we encounter hell snakes, and I’ll help you deal with them." Qingfeng Li waved his hand and led the crowd forward.
Hell was cold and gloomy, with a bone chilling aura floating around. Suddenly, there was a burst of mournful screams.
Qingfeng Li, who had just travelled a short distance, encountered a hell snake. The dark body of the hell snake was more than 500 meters long. It was covered with black scales which had a thick body like a water tank.
Its two eyes were dark like ink, the size of a lantern, and carried the color of hell. It would occasionally flash out with a fierce light.
