Chapter 2034: Chapter 2033: Spit It All Out for Me! (40 Updates!)

"There are still four months left..."

"This liquid is terrifying; its effect is even stronger than Star Crystals. But with my Nine Great True Selves cultivating together, the time I need is really way too long."

"Four months... Divine Sea Realm is definitely out of reach, but the Seventh Grade Void Heaven Realm—I must break through no matter what!"

...

In fact, with Su Han’s Nine Great True Selves cultivating both his Martial Path Cultivation and Flesh Cultivation at the same time, even though he had already reached the Extremity of the Sixth Grade Void Heaven Realm, to break through to the Seventh Grade Void Heaven Realm would still take at least several years, or even several decades.

But the terror of this Soul Cleansing Pool forcibly shortened that time for Su Han to just a few months!

Take Lin Jian and the others, for example. In these eight months, they had already broken through two or three Realms in a row. There was even one at the Void Heaven Realm who broke through five Realms straight, from Second Grade Void Heaven Realm all the way up to Seventh Grade!

If not for this Soul Cleansing Pool, how could they possibly have broken through so fast?

It would’ve been pure fantasy!

However, the resources needed by the Soul Cleansing Pool were really far, far too many. This was also why, despite clearly possessing the Soul Cleansing Pool, the Qing Emperor Sect wouldn’t open it often.

"And you lot!"

Su Han’s gaze swept over Lin Jian and the others. "You really think the liquid you’ve swallowed is yours now? If I, Su Han, don’t want to give it to you, not a single one of you can keep it!"

...

In the time that followed, Su Han poured all his energy into Cultivation.

One month, two months...

In the blink of an eye, ten months had already passed.

However, there was still no movement from Su Han’s side.

Instead, it was Lin Jian over there who actually broke through again, reaching the Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm!

He was so excited he couldn’t control himself. He wanted to calm down, but for the moment it was absolutely impossible.

Think about it: Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm...

Across the entire Lower-Class Star Region, the Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm might not be much, but compared to other Heavenly Talents of the same level, how many could reach the Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm at his age?

Back during the Heavenly Talent Tournament, apart from Ling Xiao, there wasn’t a single Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm present!

Up until now, two or three years had passed. Even if those other Immortal Fairies and Young Masters had improved incredibly fast, Lin Jian felt they’d at most only have gone up a single Realm.

His current Fifth Grade Divine Sea Realm tier was enough to stand at the Peak of the Top Ten Young Masters!

Besides Lin Jian, the others also broke through from time to time. Inside the Soul Cleansing Pool, rumbling booms were constant.

The gazes of these dozens of people would often drift toward Su Han’s side.

Up to this moment, Su Han’s Cultivation Base was still only at the Sixth Grade Void Heaven Realm.

A full eight months had passed, yet in terms of Realm, he hadn’t improved in the slightest!

As for that Flesh Cultivation, it basically didn’t count as improvement, because he had originally been at the Sixth Grade Void Heaven Realm; at most it could be said to have just recovered.

"So what if you have Nine Great True Selves? Your strength may be ferocious, but slow Cultivation is your fatal flaw!"

This was what every Heavenly Talent of the Qing Emperor Sect inside the Soul Cleansing Pool was thinking.

...

At the ten-and-a-half-month mark, the depth of liquid in the Soul Cleansing Pool was down to less than a bit over one meter.

Looking from the outside, one could already see the heads of Su Han and the others.

"Is it really... going to be sucked dry?"

"There’s still another month and a half... The resources in the Soul Cleansing Pool definitely won’t be enough!"

"They drink too damn much, don’t they?"

"Not ’they’—you should say ’he’!"

"Yeah, the Nine Shadows Young Master’s devouring speed is downright terrifying. Even if you add up Eldest Young Master and the others, it’s still not as much as what Nine Shadows Young Master alone has devoured."

"This time our Qing Emperor Sect is really bleeding hard. I heard that if you convert the resources in this Soul Cleansing Pool into Spirit Crystals, they’re worth tens of trillions!"

"Yeah, tens of trillions—that’s tens of thousands of billions of Spirit Crystals!!!"

...

Above the Void, those ten old men were still sitting cross-legged.

When they saw the current depth of the Soul Cleansing Pool, they couldn’t help but frown.

A moment later, one of the old men spoke. "Everyone, there’s still a month and a half left. It looks like the liquid in the Soul Cleansing Pool won’t be enough. Should we add some more?"

"Wait a bit for now."

Another person said, "There’s still more than a meter left, no need to rush. We can add more when it’s down to half a meter."

Hearing this, the old man who spoke first couldn’t help but give a wry smile. "Sooner or later, we’ll have to add it anyway..."

"That’s not certain."

"Indeed, what if they’ve already reached the Extremity and can’t devour any more?"

"Even just adding a little is several hundred billion, even over a trillion Spirit Crystals!"

"You guys..."

Looking at the pained expressions on their faces, the old man who had spoken earlier revealed utter helplessness.

"Forget it, waiting a bit isn’t impossible."

And right at this moment—

"Whoosh!"

On the light screen, the previously remaining one meter of Soul Cleansing Pool liquid suddenly vanished!

Strictly speaking, it didn’t vanish, but rather... it was all swallowed up by the vortex above Su Han’s head!

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, those old men couldn’t help but stand up, shock written all over their faces.

"How is that possible?"

"He devoured a full meter depth of liquid in one breath? This is a Soul Cleansing Pool with a diameter of a hundred li!"

"This little brat is practically a Bottomless Pit that can never be filled!"

"Hurry, add another ten meters of liquid to the Soul Cleansing Pool! Su Baliu is the Emperor Mu Hua’s appointed son-in-law, and the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor even warned us that if his Cultivation is interrupted because of this, we can’t bear Emperor Mu Hua’s wrath!"

...

Inside the Soul Cleansing Pool, Lin Jian and the others all opened their eyes at this moment.

"Su Baliu, what do you mean by this?!"

"You siphoned away all the liquid—how are we supposed to cultivate?"

"There’s still a month and a half left for us in this Soul Cleansing Pool. Are you going to make us just stand here and watch you cultivate?!"

These waves of dissatisfied shouts reached Su Han’s ears.

Su Han, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly snapped them open at this moment.

When they met Su Han’s gaze, Lin Jian and the others felt their hearts pound wildly.

Because right now, Su Han’s eyes had no whites at all, they were completely pitch-black, deep and unfathomable like the Starry Sky.

"I said it before: the only reason you can enter the Soul Cleansing Pool is because you’re borrowing the light of me, Su Baliu!"

"Letting you break through several Realms earlier was already your good fortune, and now you still dare to cause trouble for me?"

"A bunch of ingrates who don’t know what’s good for you. Since you don’t want it, then spit out everything you swallowed before and hand it over to me right now!"

"Boom!!!"

Amid that sky-shaking rumble, the huge vortex above Su Han’s head suddenly expanded, spanning the Void and dropping directly over the heads of these dozens of Heavenly Talents!

"Hn?"

Feeling the terrifying Power of Devouring within that vortex, everyone’s expressions changed drastically!

"This is bad!"

"Retreat, now!!!"
