Buzz!
Wang Chong’s heart was heavy, but just when he was about to change his plans and go back to think of some other way, he felt a strange sensation from the distance.
It’s Divine Embryo 3?
Wang Chong was startled and surprised.
He had left Divine Embryo 2 and Divine Embryo 3 as a reserve, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed strange pulses of energy from Divine Embryo 3, and these pulses were not targeted at him.
Divine Embryo 3… wants the energy core?
After some thought, Wang Chong suddenly understood.
Of the three divine embryos, Divine Embryo 1 was the strongest. The azure chill unleashed by the energy core above was a source of immense pressure for Divine Embryo 1, making it difficult for Wang Chong to get close to the teleportation gate.
But to Wang Chong’s surprise, he sensed intense desire from Divine Embryo 3.
Divine Embryo 3 seemed to want this extremely cold energy.
After a few more moments of thought, Wang Chong began to go back down, away from the energy core.
About thirty minutes later, Wang Chong had gone back and returned, this time with Divine Embryo 3 at his side.
In the previous battle, the Water Official had been killed and his body taken by Divine Embryo 3. Divine Embryo 3 had absorbed the Water Official’s ability to control the Water Element.
Wang Chong did not try to control Divine Embryo 3, allowing it to stand at his side and act on instinct.
The azure waterfall of light from above descended more than seventy li into the earth, turning both of Wang Chong’s divine embryos blue. Divine Embryo 3 simply stood there.
Just when Wang Chong believed that he had been mistaken…
Bang!
Divine Embryo 3 suddenly raised its palms at that azure waterfall of energy unleashed by the energy core. As Wang Chong watched, a portion of this freezing surge of energy changed course and struck Divine Embryo 3.
Wang Chong’s eyes turned nervous.
A moment later, Divine Embryo 3 became like a human sponge, the soul-freezing energy not only failing to heavily injure it, but also disappearing into its body, cleanly absorbed. And it didn’t seem like absorbing this energy was changing Divine Embryo 3’s body very much.
“This!”
Wang Chong was startled, his eyes twitching as all sorts of ideas ran through his mind.
Of the three divine embryos, Divine Embryo 1 had matured the fastest, long ago awakening its natural abilities. But Divine Embryos 2 and 3 had not shown any movement. Could it be…
Putting aside his thoughts, Wang Chong took several steps toward Divine Embryo 3. Earth Element energy spread out, engulfing Divine Embryo 3 and obscuring as much of its energy as possible.
But he quickly realized that he was worrying too much. All kinds of energy existed in a chaotic state around the giant energy core, like a raging sea. In these circumstances, the amount of cold energy absorbed by Divine Embryo 3 was insignificant, completely hidden by the intense energy pulses.
And Firmament Supreme’s Psychic Energy wasn’t even focused on this area.
The chaotic streams of energy were enough to make his Psychic Energy senses completely useless!
As time passed, Divine Embryo 3 gathered more and more energy. Wang Chong sensed that it had now absorbed the energy equivalent to a peak Subtle realm expert in prime condition. But even so, Divine Embryo 3 continued to absorb energy from the energy core like a bottomless hole.
Gradually, Wang Chong began to sense a cold energy building up in the depths of Divine Embryo 3’s dantian, aggregating into a mysterious azure symbol.
This mysterious symbol began to pull on the surrounding waterfall of energy, gathering more and more, and Divine Embryo 3 grew stronger and stronger.
……
Meanwhile, on the surface, beneath the giant teleportation gate, Firmament Supreme was wearing a silver robe and seated cross-legged on the ground, his immense Psychic Energy flowing over the land, extending for ten-some li.
The night was quiet, as he had already pacified the earlier turmoil.
In front of Firmament Supreme’s might, none of the nomadic tribes dared to defy his order.
“Something’s not right.”
Firmament Supreme’s eyes opened as his brows knit together.
It was far too quiet, and Firmament Supreme suddenly thought about those ‘three mice’.
It had been an hour since the Earth Official and Water Official had been killed. These people had not shown any signs of activity after escaping, and it seemed as if they had truly left.
But Firmament Supreme couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.
These people had killed the Earth Official and Water Official, and they had destroyed the formation. They undoubtedly had ulterior motives, and they shouldn’t have given up so easily. Or did they sense how strong he was, understand that they had no chance, and decide to give up on their plan?
“Hmph, nothing but some scoundrels, only daring to show their tails. Once I’m done with the teleportation gate, I’ll wipe them out!”
Firmament Supreme coldly grunted as he poured energy into the teleportation gate.
He had originally expected to finish the teleportation gate in a few days, but now that he was pouring in even more energy, it would be done much faster!
Firmament Supreme once more searched the area with his Psychic Energy before finally calming down.
……
Several dozen li beneath Firmament Supreme, Divine Embryo 3 was continuing to absorb the cold energy.
Divine Embryo 3 began to absorb faster and faster, a great river of energy surging into it and boosting its strength.
Even though Divine Embryo 3 was absorbing as much as it could, this was nothing compared to the vast sea of energy within the energy core.
The energy required to stabilize a teleportation gate between two worlds was utterly unthinkable.
This was not something that Divine Embryo 3 alone could absorb.
But Wang Chong’s attention was not there.
This is… It really has awakened an ability! Wang Chong mentally noted as he watched Divine Embryo 3.
What had been mere speculation at first had now been confirmed. Divine Embryo 3 was in the middle of awakening, and it was getting stronger and stronger, closer and closer to Divine Embryo 1’s strength.
That mysterious azure symbol in its dantian was beginning to shift, moving up to the chest and turning into an icy, chestnut-shaped crystal.
The lines of this crystal were smooth and pleasing, and beautiful symbols appeared on its surface, exuding the energy of laws.
From this crystal, Wang Chong could sense a powerful energy that resonated with the freezing flow of energy around him.
Ice Element ability!
Finally, Wang Chong became certain that Divine Embryo 3 had awakened an extremely powerful Ice Element ability.
It’s truly surprising that Divine Embryo 3 would awaken its ability at a time like this!
Wang Chong couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
The abilities of two of the three divine embryos were still in hibernation.
There was no information to gather or clues to follow, so not even Wang Chong knew how to help the divine embryos awaken their abilities.
The awakening of Divine Embryo 3 was undoubtedly a great surprise for Wang Chong.
Wang Chong stood guard at Divine Embryo 3’s side, cautiously keeping watch for activity from above.
Wang Chong had once been thinking of a way to destroy the teleportation gate, but he was no longer in such a rush.
Make a plan before moving out!
Wang Chong sensed that if Divine Embryo 3 could completely awaken its Ice Element ability, it might be of great assistance in the next operation.
The subterranean world remained ‘quiet’. Cracking and groaning came from within Divine Embryo 3’s body as the ice crystal absorbed more energy and grew stronger, growing closer and closer to completing the Ice Element ability!
It’ll be done in just a few more moments!
Wang Chong had been keeping a close eye on Divine Embryo 3’s situation, and at this final moment, he couldn’t help but be a little nervous.
At the same time, Firmament Supreme, seated far above the energy core, continued to silently and swiftly construct the teleportation gate.
But a moment later, without any warning—
Buzz!
Firmament Supreme’s eyelids trembled, and his eyes flew open.
“Something is wrong!”
His brow creased, his expression sinking.
Even though he had thoroughly considered all possibilities and taken the appropriate countermeasures, and even though he sensed nothing unusual, he could not calm down.
He felt that something was happening at this moment, but not what.
His brows furrowed, and then his eyes flashed with insight. Suddenly—
Bang!
With a savage glint in his eyes, Firmament Supreme thrust a palm at the ground.
At the same time, the Psychic Energy that was spread out across the region concentrated together and shot several dozen li into the ground.
This action came without any warning and with incredible speed, and a few moments later, Stellar Energy and Psychic Energy slammed into Wang Chong’s location.
“Mm?”
Firmament Supreme frowned in surprise.
“What happened? Was I wrong?”
Upon sensing the situation underground, Firmament Supreme muttered in confusion.
