C102

Luo Hao sat cross-legged and the aura around him continued to rise.

He and Zhao Gao had absorbed a lot more energy from the Soul Crystal than the other party, whether it was in terms of speed or quantity.

If the speed at which Zhao Gao absorbed energy was compared to a train or a river, then Luo Hao's was like a rocket. The quantity was like a raging sea, it was incomparable and simply incomparable.

He only sighed in admiration at how Luo Hao was different from the others, and thought to himself, Big brother is indeed big brother, absorbing energy is like a whale absorbing water. Even if he, Zhao Gao had this kind of speed, he wouldn't dare to do it, because the meridians in his body simply could not endure such an amount of energy, and they would all be rushing in at the same time.

If one was too greedy, then there would only be one outcome: death.

Luo Hao was in the Peak of the eighth level of Soul Nurturing Stage to begin with, and like a whale absorbing water, he absorbed a large amount of energy from the Soul Crystal. When his aura reached a certain point, the Soul Sea would emit a "weng" sound.

There was a sound of something being broken through, and a new power rose from within his body, becoming stronger and purer than before. This was the change brought about by breaking through to the ninth level of soul nourishing stage.

After breaking through to the ninth stage, Luo Hao did not stop cultivating, and continued to absorb the Soul Crystal's energy, which was used to stabilize his realm.

"Puchi!"

A slight cracking sound was emitted from Luo Hao's palm, the energy inside the Soul Crystal was completely absorbed by Luo Hao, and it lost its luster and turned into powder.

Luo Hao gently brushed off the powder in his hand, which was swept away by the wind and scattered into the air.

The ninth stage of the soul nourishing stage was indeed not like the eighth stage of the profound, where both the quantity and quality were vastly different.

No wonder the Chio Continent viewed the difference between the eight stages and the nine stages as a watershed. Once one entered the ninth stage of the soul nourishing stage, it was equivalent to a new world for martial practitioners.

Luo Hao felt the incomparably powerful strength in his body. If he fought against the Giant Bear that had undergone mutation again, Luo Hao was confident that with his current abilities, he would not be at a disadvantage. He would also need to borrow the strength of his Earth Slaughtering Technique to kill the Giant Bear.

"Let's go."

Luo Hao held Zhao Tong's shoulders and walked down the mountain towards the great river.

The other warriors also followed behind. If Luo Hao didn't leave, they wouldn't have the guts or courage to take the risk.

Luo Hao shook his head as he walked in front of him. He didn't even have the courage to explore anymore, how could he talk about his future achievements? Even if he was a heaven warping genius, his future achievements were limited, Luo Hao thought.

They descended from the mountain and arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ten meters away was the river they saw on the mountain.

The river surface was tranquil and calm. Even though there was a clear wind blowing, it still did not cause any ripples, as if Luo Hao and the others were not looking at the water, but at an extremely large mirror.

Things were different from usual. This was an old saying.

This conclusion was based on the fact that the predecessors had suffered countless losses and lost countless lives at the expense of their predecessors. It was a truth that had been put into practice.

Luo Hao let go of the soul consciousness and slowly immersed himself in the water. About two meters deep, the river water was no longer calm and tranquil like it was before. However, the water suddenly became like boiling water, churning and surging forward, towards the same direction.

A few hundred meters deeper into the lake, the river became calm again, then another few hundred meters before reaching the bottom. Like the sea in his previous life, it was very beautiful, with all sorts of underwater life forms growing within it.

Just as Luo Hao was about to walk up the bridge, the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit that had not moved for a long time suddenly moved, sending Luo Hao a message that another good thing had appeared in the river.

Luo Hao was overjoyed, anything that could catch the attention of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit was an extremely heaven defying item, from blank martial skills to Heaven Swallowing Sword, he did not know what it was.

The only problem was that this river was over a thousand meters deep. Before they could reach the bottom of the river, they would have to suffocate to death.

Shaking his head, Luo Hao went to the riverside and stood still. Looking at the river, he started to think about that possibility, maybe he could go down to the bottom of the river and obtain the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit's item.

"Big Brother, you want to dive into the river?"

Zhao Gao saw Luo Hao staring at the river and asked.

Luo Hao nodded his head, rejecting everything that he could think of, the only option was to jump into the river and dive his head into the water to see how long he could stay for.

"Big brother, this might be able to help you."

Zhao Gao's heart stirred and a black pearl appeared in his hand. It was no bigger than an egg and had a black luster.

Luo Hao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Water Repelling Pearl?

"Look at how stupid I am, big brother. This is a Water Repelling Pearl, I once used it to go underwater for close to a hundred meters. When using it, you only need to infuse your power into it and it can last for nearly four hours. "

Zhao Gao explained.

Just when Luo Hao was worrying about how to get to the bottom of the river, he took out a Water Repelling Pearl. Although Zhao Gao said that he could borrow it to go deeper a hundred meters, no matter what, he could give it a try.

With this Water Repelling Pearl, he would have even more hope of finding the Heaven-Devouring Martial Spirit.

"There shouldn't be any danger on this river, you go over first and don't need to worry about me. If we can't meet inside the secret realm, you can just go to Sky Fire City's Lu Family and find me there. When that time comes, I will return this pearl to you. "Bro, thank you."

Luo Hao took the pearl and said to Zhao Gao. Then, he pointed at the surface of the bridge, indicating that they can pass.

The bridge was a few hundred meters long, Luo Hao watched Zhao Gao An cross it, then retracted his gaze, and started to consider how to go down to the bottom of the river. Although he had the Water Repelling Pearl to rely on, and the situation at the bottom of the river was not very clear, it would be unjustifiable to say that there was no danger.

Luo Hao thought for a moment, then poured his energy into the water bead, and when the spirit energy was no longer absorbed by the bead, the bead started to release an even more dazzling luster.

Luo Hao jumped into the water with the pearl in his hand, the water outside was indeed blocked, but he could still breathe inside, there was nothing wrong with it, it was a miracle.

The highest level of the river was calm, with various types of living beings swimming in it. However, the individual one was extremely huge, such as the whales in the later generations, or even bigger. Furthermore, their eyes were as big as lanterns and their mouths were like stone tables, which were very scary.

Luo Hao was very worried that the fellow would open his mouth and swallow him into his stomach.

Fortunately, the monster only knocked its head against Luo Hao who was protected by the black pearl, and ignored him, and swam away.

Below them was another scene. Even though the river was clear, the water was boiling like boiling water. It was shocking.

Luo Hao was one of the ones who was moving like a small boat in the ocean. Furthermore, he was moving like a small boat in the ocean, which was much bigger than a level twelve typhoon.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Hao discovered that the protective barrier around the pearl had shrunk to become lighter, and thus, he was able to inject some energy into it. When the pearl no longer absorbed the energy, Luo Hao stopped and took out the pearl that was formed from killing zombies from his spatial ring, recovering his lost strength.

Just like this, Luo Hao added a few times in the middle before finally sinking to another layer of water. The water surface had regained its tranquility, looking at the scenery of the water, it was extremely enchanting, just like the time when he was in the National Park in his previous life.

However, although he appeared calm, he was actually extremely dangerous.

Not long after Luo Hao arrived at this area, a round table sized tortoise soul beast extended its large mouth that was hidden in its shell and bit towards Luo Hao. The protection formed by the black pearl was actually bitten through, and only the first layer of the book was left, and the next one would be completely torn apart.

With a thought, Luo Hao kept the Water Repelling Pearl back into his storage ring and the Heaven Swallowing Sword appeared in his hands. Luo Hao waved it towards the turtle soul beast.

At first, Luo Hao was worried that the resistance in the water would affect the speed of his sword, but the facts proved that his efforts were unnecessary. The Heaven Swallowing Sword actually completely ignored the resistance in the water and easily sliced the turtle soul beast's hard turtle shell into two halves, causing blood to spurt out and dyed the surrounding water red. The smell of blood immediately attracted even more beasts' attention as they tried to devour the turtle soul beast that was split into two halves.

Luo Hao naturally did not stay at the scene to wait for the other soul beasts to attack him. He had already continued to sink with the Water Repelling Pearl in his hands, and after killing a few more soul beasts along the way, he finally reached the bottom of the river. He hid the water droplets, circulated his energy, and stepped into the water in the direction of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit's Finger.

Luo Hao felt that it was very strange walking at the bottom of the river. If he hadn't teleported to this mysterious deity, he would have had the chance to walk in the undersea world. He didn't even need to borrow other tools, he only relied on his own abilities.

When Luo Hao was walking, he would occasionally encounter various types of soul beasts. When facing against the beasts, they would naturally launch attacks at him as well, wanting to swallow him into their stomachs. They wanted to taste the taste of the beast meat that they had never seen before.

Of course, Luo Hao had waved his Heaven Swallowing Sword, causing their wish to come to nothing.

This made Luo Hao think of what he was going to obtain this time. If he wasn't mistaken, the soul beasts in the water that he had killed were all attracted by this thing, but they just didn't have enough strength to get close, which meant that there were even stronger soul beasts guarding nearby.

Luo Hao thought about this, and did not stop at all. He continued to walk in the opposite direction that he had decided on.
