Hearing Yuebai say such a thing, Liu Ziming's heart skipped a beat. He had promised that he would fulfill Yuebai's wish under any circumstances, it was only a matter of time. He hadn't done so yet, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, Princess Yuebai, rest assured, what I, Liu Ziming, say is law. I will definitely help you accomplish and fulfill your promise."
Seeing the resolute expression on Liu Ziming's face, Princess Yuebai's expression also relaxed a lot. In fact, he also knew that to see his mother, he had to find the Elf Clan's settlement. Right now, they had no clue what to do, and there was nothing they could do even if they were anxious.
"Liu Ziming, you better remember this: you promised me before, and I'm promising you now, that if you don't help me see my mother, I won't let you off so easily."
When Princess Yuebai spoke these words, her expression didn't seem particularly fierce; instead, it was rather tender and affectionate, giving Liu Ziming a bad feeling. He wondered if he had offended something. "Holy crap, could Princess Yuebai have fallen for me? Is it possible that my charming and handsome appearance has captivated countless young women?"
It has to be said that Liu Ziming is somewhat narcissistic. He was thinking such arrogant thoughts in his heart, and his facial expression was quite peculiar, leaving Princess Yuebai somewhat puzzled. "Hey, Liu Ziming, what are you thinking about? Why are you walking so slowly, like a snail?"
Although Princess Yuebai was following behind Liu Ziming at a very slow pace, she really wanted to kick him hard. If it weren't for him, she would have run over there long ago. Although she said that, she was more anxious than anyone else.
"Hehe, I wasn't thinking about anything, just some wonderful things, so 1.9 seems very happy?"
After saying this, Liu Ziming's steps became much lighter, and his speed increased. Soon, they arrived at the place where the high-level resentments were hiding. "Wow, look at that! It's crystal clear. Could it really be a treasure?"
This time, the slime was really clever. The cat angel and the seven-colored deer stood motionless around the crystal-clear object, neither willing to touch it. "Old monkey, tell me, isn't this a treasure? It's so crystal clear and shines with dazzling light, it's definitely something special!"
Even the Flame Dragon Elder didn't dare to directly grab the crystal-clear object, so he could only ask the Giant Ape Elder for advice.
Chapter 400 The energy of chaos
"Haha, you guys are really laughable. You see a treasure but don't dare to touch it directly. That's quite rare."
Liu Zimeng and Yuebai arrived at the place where the treasure was kept. Seeing that everyone was standing there dumbfounded, he felt a little surprised and burst into laughter.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Isn't this just a shiny sphere? What's so strange about it? If this thing were a treasure, it would be everywhere!" The Slime Mirror's expression was somewhat unnatural, because the old Flame Dragon had already set his sights on this treasure, so he was a little uncomfortable.
It's no wonder the Slime Mirror was a little uncomfortable. He had given away an ancient sword that he had obtained by chance to the Giant Ape Elder. He had essentially lost out this time. How could the Elder be happy?
"Hehe, don't underestimate this white sphere. It contains a wealth of chaotic energy, which was left over from ancient times. Have you really found a treasure this time?" Hearing Liu Ziming say this, everyone instantly understood that this was the ancient battlefield 28 from ancient times, so it was not surprising to obtain such a treasure.
"Boss, are you telling the truth? This white sphere contains abundant chaotic energy. That's fantastic! Our strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and we'll never have to fear that wretched demon king again!"
As the Flame Dragon Elder spoke, his eyes kept drifting towards Moon White Girl. After all, that Demon King was Moon White Girl's father. Although he didn't like him either, it was still not appropriate to say it in front of her.
"Ahem, senior, you're oversimplifying this question. The Demon King's strength is unfathomable. Even a mere phantom made me cough up blood. If the real one were to appear, can you imagine what a terrifying scene that would be?" Upon hearing what the eldest, Liu Ziming, said, the Flame Dragon senior's expression instantly changed. A terrifying feeling instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Not only was the Flame Dragon Elder somewhat terrified, but the expressions on the faces of the others also changed drastically upon hearing what their leader, Liu Ziming, said. "My god, the Demon King of the Demon King's City possesses terrifying and unfathomable strength! What are we going to do?"
These guys were completely overwhelmed by the demon king's terrifying power. They had witnessed firsthand Liu Ziming's incredible strength; he had even managed to faint after directly confronting the demon king's phantom. They simply didn't possess such power, so how could they not be afraid?
So let's imagine together what kind of terrifying power that would be.
Seeing the confident expression on their leader Liu Ziming's face, everyone felt much calmer. Only their leader Liu Ziming could give them a sense of security. If their leader Liu Ziming encountered an accident in the Monster Forest, they really didn't know what to do. "I knew it! With our leader here, what's there to be afraid of? Now that we've obtained the Chaos Qi, how do we use it?" Although their leader Liu Ziming said that this transparent bead was actually a carrier of Chaos Qi, not a single person dared to reach out and touch it.
They had only heard of the terrifying power and energy of the Chaos Artifact, but none of them had ever witnessed it firsthand. Now that they had, they weren't foolish enough to become guinea pigs. "Haha, I really didn't expect that after these high-level remnants of spirit instantly turned to ashes, they could actually be transformed into chaotic energy. This is truly wonderful!"
Just as everyone was fretting over the inability to use the Chaos Qi they had obtained, Liu Ziming carefully searched his mind. After all, he had an awesome system that was unmatched by anyone else. "What did you say? This Chaos Qi is actually formed from the lingering resentment or hatred of something that has lived for thousands of years? How is that possible? You're not kidding, are you?"
The Flame Dragon Elder had, after all, awakened the bloodline of his ancient ancestral dragon. The dragon lineage possessed powerful perception and comprehension abilities. He had some doubts about what the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, said, so he spoke directly.
Cat Angel also felt it was somewhat unlikely, but he was just curious and dared not reach out to touch the exquisite and translucent original-color bead.
"Look everyone, when this bead is placed on the ground, there is no feeling or reaction, but when I pick it up in my hand, what do you notice?"
Just as everyone was gathered around the bead, too afraid to move and filled with curiosity, Liu Ziming reached out and picked up the crystal-clear white bead that held the chaotic energy, allowing everyone to examine it closely. "My god! Boss is awesome! He just grabbed it without a second thought. I'm totally impressed!"
"Wow, the boss is the boss! He just reached out and picked up that container of chaotic energy. I don't have that kind of guts. I can never argue with him again, or I won't even know how I disappeared!" The Flame Dragon Elder and the Seven-Colored Deer had different thoughts in their minds. Their eyes were wide open as they carefully examined the container of chaotic energy in Liu Ziming's hand, a white and transparent bead.
"Boss, I noticed that after this white bead came into your hand, a current of energy seemed to slowly spread and extend into your body along different meridians. I don't know if my observation is correct?" The giant ape elder looked very serious, which made Liu Ziming nod in agreement, because his observation was very careful and what he said made a lot of sense.
"Old monkey, don't talk nonsense. That bead is in the boss's hand, and I only see it emitting a different aura; there's nothing special about it." The Flame Dragon Elder wasn't trying to argue with the Giant Ape Elder; he just didn't believe what the Giant Ape Elder was saying because he hadn't observed anything. "Slime Mirror, what are you seeing? Why are your eyes fixed on that bead with such focus?"
Upon hearing that his boss, Liu Ziming, had actually noticed him, Slime Jing blushed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
"Ah, ah, I see something as fine as silkworm silk, slowly moving inside the bead. I wonder if it's due to the chaotic energy?" Because the Slime Mirror wasn't sure if what it said was correct, it lacked confidence.
Chapter 401 Thousands of Pear Trees in Bloom
Liu Ziming truly hadn't expected the Slime Mirror to look so handsome when focused, and also to be so incredibly observant. He'd never imagined it could be like this. "Hehe, I never expected you to be so meticulous when you're focused, actually noticing this phenomenon. That's truly remarkable!" Even Liu Ziming couldn't help but give the Slime Mirror a thumbs up, praising it repeatedly.
"Boss, how do you praise people like this? Why didn't you give me a thumbs up when I was praising you? But the slime only said a short sentence, yet you kept praising it. Isn't that obvious sexism?" The giant ape's expression changed slightly, looking particularly miserable inside. He knew that his boss, Liu Ziming, didn't mean it that way, but he just had that feeling.
He felt that if his status in the eyes of his boss Liu Ziming declined, it would not be a good thing. He didn't know why.
"Everyone observed very carefully. This white, transparent bead, which carries the chaotic energy, will generate many fine, hair-like gases if you push it with your internal force. These gases will slowly travel along your meridians and enter your body, completely integrating with the energy within you. Imagine what that effect would be?"
Seeing that their leader, Liu Ziming, was deliberately keeping them in suspense, everyone looked unhappy and simply ignored him.
However, their leader, Liu Ziming, explained how to use the chaotic energy and the white, transparent bead. Everyone was eager to try it, but since the bead was in Liu Ziming's hands, they couldn't just go and try to snatch it. "Boss, you're making it sound so amazing. How will we know what the effect is if we don't try it ourselves?"
The old Flame Dragon seemed quite clever, but he didn't dare to directly snatch it from Liu Ziming's hands. So he tried to provoke Liu Ziming with words to see what would happen.
"Haha, although this chaotic energy is rare, it doesn't have much effect on me. I'll give it to you instead. It's more than enough for all of you. After you completely integrate it into your bodies, you'll be delighted to discover a feeling of being reborn. How wonderful that will be!"
Before anyone could react, Liu Ziming moved with lightning speed, lightly tapping each person's veins with his fingers. The people involuntarily huddled together, forming a small circle. "Boss, what are you doing? Did we do something wrong? Why didn't you just tell us? Why did you attack us like that?"
The giant ape elder also seemed puzzled, but before he could finish speaking, he was surprised to find that the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, threw the white bead, the carrier of chaotic energy, directly into the middle of them. It floated in the air, emitting thick wisps of white vapor.
"My goodness, Boss wasn't tricking us, he was helping us! It's all because I'm getting old and a bit senile, I misunderstood Boss!" The giant ape elder looked very annoyed, but Liu Ziming's words rang in everyone's ears like a whisper.
"If you people don't absorb it quickly, the chaotic energy will definitely leak out. Anyway, this is all I can do. As for what you do, the rest is up to you."
Hearing what their leader, Liu Ziming, said, everyone had no time to hesitate. They frantically activated their internal energy, absorbing the chaotic energy until their bodies were completely saturated. "Wow, this feels so good! Just like the leader said, it really feels like a complete transformation. It's like my meridians have been cleansed and refined!"
"Sigh, I've lived such a long life and it's all been for nothing. I never expected the effects of this chaotic energy to be so miraculous. Just like the boss said, I feel like I'm floating on air. It's so comfortable!"
"I never expected this, I really never expected this. This stinky spider is wrong. Boss really didn't lie to me. The effect of this chaotic energy on me is truly amazing. My skin seems to have become much whiter and smoother. Not to mention my strength, my meridians feel like they're bursting with energy, like a mighty river surging with waves."
Everyone was immersed in the joy of frantically absorbing the chaotic energy, but they could clearly feel the changes in their bodies because they had absolute confidence that their leader, Liu Ziming, was definitely there to protect them, so they didn't worry about any accidents happening.
Time slipped away little by little. After about an hour, they finally completely absorbed the energy of the white bead, the vessel of chaotic energy, and stood up from the ground, satisfied. "Haha, my body feels like I've become decades younger! I've never felt so comfortable. The force of a single punch is at least tens of thousands of pounds! This feeling is truly wonderful!"
The old Flame Dragon swayed her long tail, for she always liked to transform herself into the shape of a dragon. She felt that as a dragon, this was how she should be, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart.
"I never expected that the effects of this chaotic energy would be so miraculous. This old monkey of mine feels incredibly light. It really is like what that old guy, the Flame Dragon, said—I feel several years younger!"
The giant ape elder's expression was also particularly excited, and his usually calm personality had changed considerably, because he could clearly feel his meridians expanding, like a mighty river flowing endlessly. "Sister Cat (Liao Liao's) Sister, after absorbing the Chaos Qi, your skin is much fairer and more delicate, and you're much prettier overall. Your energy and spirit are also much better than before. It's really enviable!" The Seven-Colored Deer was closest to the Cat Angel, and when he opened his eyes, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Cat Angel seemed to have become several years younger, with a charming and captivating aura that even made him a little tempted.
"Silly girl, you're the one talking! You seem to be aging in reverse; your skin is so smooth and supple, it's like water would gush out if you pinched it!"
The seven-colored deer and the cat angel praised and envied each other, but they were also surprised to find that even the skin on the slime mirror's face had improved a lot and was no longer as sallow as before.
"Sister Slime Jing, your skin has really improved a lot. You have a queenly majesty. It's really amazing!" Shen said.
Chapter 402 Danger Strikes Again
Cat Angel and Seven-Colored Deer both knew that among the three girls, Slime Mirror could be considered the boss, and she definitely wouldn't be satisfied without some flattering words.
"Why are you two little ones so sweet-talking? Is it because you've absorbed the chaotic energy?"
Girls always like to be praised, and although Slime said that, she felt particularly good inside.
"Haha, congratulations everyone! Each of you has increased your strength significantly. Now, you can no longer be distinguished by your levels. If you were to combine all your energy now, even that terrifying demon king would probably be wary of you."
As their leader, Liu Ziming could clearly sense that everyone's strength had increased to a terrifying level, actually reaching the Innate Realm—something he hadn't anticipated. "Hehe, boss, what realm are we at now? Could we have reached the Innate or Divine Realm?"
Although the old Flame Dragon was quite old, his childlike spirit intrigued him. He had to find out what level his boss had reached.
"If my estimate is correct, you have at least broken through to the peak of the Innate Realm. That's a terrifying realm that you never dared to imagine before, right?"
The words of their leader, Liu Ziming, exploded like a bombshell in everyone's hearts. Their hearts couldn't even bear this immense surprise, and their breathing became particularly heavy. "My goodness, he just absorbed some chaotic energy that had existed for thousands of years, and he broke through to the peak of the Innate Realm so easily. That's too amazing!"
They truly couldn't comprehend how this chaotic energy possessed such miraculous power, allowing them to smoothly break through to the peak of the Innate Realm in just over an hour—something they had never even dared to dream of before. "Heh, if you don't believe in your own strength, just find any target and test it out. Wouldn't you understand then? You should understand the difference between the Acquired and Innate Realms, right?"
Seeing the confident expression on their leader Liu Ziming's face, everyone felt a shiver run down their spines. It seemed that this matter was true (cibj). However, they were all eager to experience just how awesome they were.
However, Liu Ziming seemed to have forgotten that they were, after all, in the Demon Beast Forest, and had accidentally stumbled into this ancient battlefield, a place teeming with resentment. Making such a commotion would definitely attract their attention. "Then I'll have a good experience and see exactly where the difference lies between my innate and acquired strength?"
The Flame Dragon Claw senior couldn't wait to choose a target. Ahead of him was a place with jagged rocks that looked like a small mountain. He felt very satisfied with this target.
With a loud shout from the elder Flame Dragon, his outstretched hand drew a massive sword, instantly slicing the strange rock before him into countless dust particles that vanished into thin air. Even he himself was stunned. "Holy crap, this is too awesome! My strength has actually improved to this extent. Have I really not disgraced our ancestors?"
The old Flame Dragon looked at his fists and palms in disbelief. He felt that his current strength was no different from that of the ancient gods, and he jumped up with joy, like a child. "Flame Dragon, congratulations, you old fellow, you've actually improved to such a level. But if there's any danger later, you mustn't back down!"
Hearing the Giant Ape Elder's slightly teasing tone, the Flame Dragon Elder's face immediately fell. He couldn't understand why this old fellow was unhappy about his significant increase in strength. "Don't worry, from now on, if there's any danger, I'll take the lead. You guys can all hide behind me, and I'll protect you."
The old Flame Dragon now had absolute confidence in his strength, so he acted arrogantly, gesturing wildly in front of everyone as if he were the boss. "Don't you little guys want to try and see how much your strength has improved? Are you as awesome as this old man?" Seeing the cat angels' surprised expressions, the Flame Dragon was even more pleased, so he casually asked.
Actually, the cat angels and the others also wanted to show off their strength, but they were afraid of letting themselves down. After all, they had absorbed so much chaotic energy, and if their strength didn't change much, they felt it would be embarrassing.
It's one thing to be lenient with others, but in Liu Ziming's mind, their image and strength have been greatly diminished; they're not like that at all.
"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, we don't have your strength, so we won't show it? Didn't you just say that you would protect us if we encountered danger in the future? What are we afraid of?"
close.
"Haha, so it was all this delicious food that woke me from my dream. No wonder it caused such a commotion?"
A thousand-year-old grudge was completely awakened by the roar of the fire dragon. Making no attempt to conceal its presence, it trotted towards them, sending shivers down everyone's spines. "Holy crap, no wonder that old giant ape warned me not to run away in danger; he'd already figured it out?"
Seeing the vengeful spirit that had survived for a thousand years, towering dozens of meters tall, the senior fire dragon was genuinely frightened. However, he had already declared that he would protect everyone in case of danger, and he absolutely could not back down. "You shameless bastard, you're out here courting death again. Do you think you've lived long enough?"
Without any hesitation, the old Flame Dragon transformed into a gigantic flame dragon, floating in the air with an extremely arrogant air. "Haha, I never expected this! I never expected to have the honor of eating dragon meat from the heavens today! This is truly wonderful!" The tall, thousand-year-old resentment appeared extremely happy, making continuous clicking sounds with its mouth.
Chapter 403 Danger Approaching, Winds Howling
In fact, Liu Ziming had already noticed the resentment of this enormous being that had survived for a thousand years, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Although this guy was of a high level and very strong, these people weren't pushovers either. "If you want to devour us, you'd better see if you have any teeth left. I'm the first one to object!"
After saying these words, the old Flame Dragon did not hesitate at all and immediately used his ultimate technique to pounce on the huge vengeful spirit.
He wanted to take advantage of the guy's unstable footing to quickly end the battle with a single, decisive blow, but he was wrong, and this time he was terribly wrong.
With a deafening roar, the Flame Dragon Elder's iron fist slammed heavily into the massive body of the resentful creature, creating a huge hole and even producing a cracking sound. "Haha, let's see how you survive this!"
The Flame Dragon Elder had absolute confidence in the punch he threw, and the enormous explosion made him mistakenly believe that the thousand-year-old resentment had instantly vanished. "Too slow, lacking power, like a tickle, really not very comfortable?"
Just as the Flame Dragon Elder was feeling smug, he suddenly heard that strange, resentful voice ring out again, and he was startled.
"Holy crap, that punch of mine was worth tens of thousands of pounds, how come this guy wasn't completely obliterated? Did all of my punches miss?"
However, the old Flame Dragon quickly realized that his punch had not missed, but had actually hit the body of the resentful creature. But the creature's body twisted strangely, changing into different shapes, and reappeared in front of everyone.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! My punch weighed tens of thousands of pounds, how could this guy possibly survive?"
Seeing the Flame Dragon Elder's somewhat vulnerable expression and complex emotions, Liu Ziming pulled him behind him. After all, this resentment was rather strange, and he didn't want the Flame Dragon Elder to be threatened. "Is this all the strength you guys have? How dare you trespass on my territory? You're practically offering me a free meal, how can I refuse?"
The resentment that had survived for over a thousand years constantly changed its form, sending a chill down everyone's spine. Yet, Yuebai remained strangely calm. "Liu Ziming, you must be very careful with this guy. If I'm not mistaken, he might be the demon king's resentment that Father mentioned, the one who worships him. His cultivation method is exactly the same as Father's?" Hearing Yuebai's warning, Liu Ziming felt a small surge of emotion. He had previously intended to search his memory carefully, but this saved him the trouble.
"Thank you for the reminder, but there's no problem at all. This enormous resentment doesn't need my intervention. Senior Flame Dragon and Senior Giant Ape working together can completely eliminate it. I can guarantee that." They were already sensing danger and terror, even a sense of impending death making everyone's hearts tremble, but their leader, Liu Ziming, remained remarkably calm, leaving everyone puzzled. "Boss, can you please wake up? Senior Flame Dragon already used his ultimate technique and didn't finish this guy off. How can you be so confident?" Seeing their confused expressions, Liu Ziming smiled, shook his head, and felt a surge of displeasure.
"The giant ape elder slime actually found that ancient sword, and now it might be able to put it to good use. If the fire dragon elder doesn't use his ultimate technique, he could probably easily defeat this guy. Has the fire dragon elder forgotten what his most powerful weapon is?"
Upon hearing Liu Zilong's explanation, the Flame Dragon Elder and the Giant Ape Elder instantly understood what this enormous resentment was afraid of. "I never expected that the ancient sword I unexpectedly obtained would have the power to slay demons and monsters! It's truly amazing!"
Without hesitation, the giant ape elder retrieved the rusty ancient sword from his back. At that moment, the sword emitted a dazzling light, giving everyone a glimmer of hope. ...Please give flowers.
