Chapter 2182 - 2183: Recovery! Three Updates
Inside a stone cave.
Ye Qiu’s demon body sat cross-legged, and the storage ring and storage bag obtained from Elder Huang, now ownerless due to Elder Huang’s death, became Ye Qiu’s possessions after a drop of blood.
After roughly scanning the inside of the two storage treasures, five cores appeared out of nowhere.
The golden cores, the size of eggs, emitted a golden light.
Emperor-level demon cores!
A total of five!
What Ye Qiu most wanted from Elder Huang were these five cores.
Especially given his current state, with less than a tenth of his demon body’s strength remaining, he was far too weak. These emperor-level demon cores were crucial for him now.
He could completely rely on them to recover quickly.
Ye Qiu eagerly devoured one emperor-level demon core, not daring to swallow and absorb them all at once. Emperor-level demon cores, though only the size of an egg, contained astonishing energy, and if he absorbed them all at once, he might explode.
Phew...
The power from the emperor-level demon core was indeed different, instantly flowing throughout his body, bringing Ye Qiu a sense of comfort.
Earlier, the Supreme Bell’s resurrection absorbed all the power of his demon body, nearly draining his soul power as well. Fortunately, it stopped at the last moment, leaving him with a breath.
Even though the power of the Supreme Bell was astonishing, smashing a mighty being of the heavens, Ye Qiu paid a substantial price.
His entire power was instantly exhausted, making even walking a problem.
After the great battle, Ye Qiu’s demon body was like a dry sponge, devoid of any energy, entirely relying on Ye Qiu’s will to act.
Now, with a sudden influx of energy, his demon body greedily absorbed it, like a sponge soaking up water, continuously turning its shriveled state into something vibrant and full of life.
After an unknown amount of time, one emperor-level demon core was completely digested.
Ye Qiu opened his eyes, his spirit and vigor markedly different from before, as his power not only recovered but also significantly increased.
It must be because the level of the emperor-level demon core was so high that it provided him with a substantial boost. After all, ordinary abyssal demon and king-level demon cores were now useless to him; only when it reached the level of an emperor demon core would it again enhance his strength.
After his strength recovered, Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, feeling the core within his demon body beginning to change.
Overjoyed, Ye Qiu immediately immersed his mind.
After this encounter with Elder Huang, Ye Qiu’s core began to elevate, no longer lagging behind his body’s power by much.
The core expanded a circle, similar to the cores he had just absorbed, but Ye Qiu’s core was larger than any of the five.
It must be because Ye Qiu had absorbed too many demon cores before, and having just absorbed another of the same level, significant changes occurred.
The core’s color rapidly shifted from dark green to ink green, reaching the level of a king-level demon core.
"Is that all?" Ye Qiu waited for a while, thinking the core would continue to change, but unfortunately, it stopped at the king-level demon level.
Though slightly disappointed, Ye Qiu didn’t mind much. Having reaped the rewards of vanquishing Elder Huang and receiving five emperor-level demon cores, he considered himself quite fortunate that his core had reached the king level. Anything more, reaching the emperor level, would be too lucky.
Transitioning from the void-returning realm to the king level sufficed, given that his encounter with Elder Huang involved few techniques and relied mainly on the Supreme Bell for victory.
"I will bring the core’s level up to that of my body’s as quickly as possible," Ye Qiu resolved, so that he wouldn’t have to calculate every move for fear of wasting energy, as before.
With the additional core energy, he could fight heavens-level powerhouses without any constraints or limitations.
Admittedly, eliminating Elder Huang this time, the Supreme Bell played an indispensable role.
Even though Elder Huang wasn’t at full strength at the time, he was still a formidable opponent, and Ye Qiu’s limited power meant even surprise attacks weren’t successful one-blow kills.
Relying on the Supreme Bell’s ability to hide its presence, two failed surprise attacks taught Ye Qiu that instantly eliminating a heavens-level powerhouse was incredibly challenging.
Such a powerful martial artist couldn’t be easily taken down with a single strike.
"Oh, right, the Supreme Bell..."
Ye Qiu took the Supreme Bell out, holding it in his palm. It was now a compact form, like a little bell.
Before, he had used the Supreme Bell to kill his enemies, but never had it been so terrifying. Could it simply be because he infused it with heavens-realm level power?
He immersed his spiritual power into the Supreme Bell, not moving for a long time.
When his spirit returned, a hint of joy appeared on Ye Qiu’s face.
He finally understood why the Supreme Bell suddenly became so terrible; it was because a new artifact spirit had been born within.
When Ye Qiu encountered the Supreme Bell, it had an artifact spirit, but that spirit had been born after Ge Tian’s demise and developed its own consciousness, even trying to kill Ye Qiu. However, in the end, it was killed, leaving the Supreme Bell without an artifact spirit for a long time.
An ultimate treasure with an artifact spirit is far more formidable, as it can unleash the weapon’s greatest power.
The Bahuang Sword is strong because it also has an artifact spirit, even if it’s a weak one, but it can still unleash considerable power.
What about the Supreme Bell, ranked above the Bahuang Sword? With an artifact spirit, it will be even more terrifying.
Otherwise, how could it possibly smash a heavens-level powerhouse to death? Even if the opponent was injured, it was still extraordinary.
Excited about the Supreme Bell acquiring an artifact spirit, Ye Qiu was elated, as this meant the Supreme Bell would become even more fearsome in the future. Once he fully attained heavens-level power, he could wield the Supreme Bell against adversaries.
Anyone he struck would die!
After reveling in the joy of the new artifact spirit’s emergence, Ye Qiu put the Supreme Bell away again. Now that his strength had recovered, with four emperor-level demon cores remaining, he could replenish his stamina four more times.
Even fighting a heavens-realm powerhouse again, he wouldn’t have to worry too much.
"Let’s set other matters aside for now and check what else is in the storage ring and the storage bag." He had only glanced briefly before, finding the five emperor cores, but now that his strength had returned, he had all the time to slowly inventory the spoils of battle.
This was the collection of a heavens-realm powerhouse, likely containing all his belongings within these two storage treasures.
