Urban Invincible Overlord

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast had been seen by everyone long ago, but very few knew about its colossal appetite for spirit stones.

A single top-grade spirit stone, enough for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to cultivate for ten days or half a month, contains an immense amount of spiritual power. Yet, this Heaven-devouring Divine Beast swallowed over sixty pieces in one gulp.

Its absorption capabilities are truly astounding.

All present were cultivators, and they knew well that resources like spirit stones, despite being beneficial, were limited by the meridians within any cultivator's body and even more so by the storage space for spiritual and immortal power in their bodies. If too much spiritual power was absorbed at once, it would be overwhelming.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a top-grade spirit stone the size of a quail egg is enough to provide about ten days' worth of cultivation spiritual power. Even if there were special methods to accelerate absorption, fully absorbing the spiritual power of one spirit stone within a day would still be difficult to digest.

Yet, this Heaven-devouring Divine Beast managed to devour over sixty pieces of top-grade spirit stones in one go.

Including several that were the size of chicken eggs.

The spiritual power contained within so many top-grade spirit stones is immense, yet the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast can digest it, which is truly overpowering.

With a large supply of spirit stones, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast lay prostrate beside Tong Yunshu, closed its eyes, and seemed to fall asleep.

The myriad of wounds on its body healed at an incredible speed, such a miraculous scene caused everyone who had witnessed Linglong's treatment of Yang Fei before to still click their tongues in wonder.

As expected of an ancient divine beast, albeit in its weakest juvenile state.

Previously, it helped Yang Fei escape from numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding him, posing a significant threat to those cultivators.

If it were to grow further, its future battle strength would be even more exaggerated.

Having such a powerful spirit pet, Yang Fei is truly formidable.

The only flaw is its enormous demand for spirit stones, which is far beyond what ordinary people can afford to sustain.

Even though Yang Fei currently possesses a massive resource of a top-grade spirit vein, as the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast continues to grow, it might still be difficult to maintain in the future.

Thirty miles from White Jade City, Wu You and Zhuo Donglai gathered with twelve others.

"They didn't pursue us," Wu You, the last to hold the rear, informed everyone.

The group nodded in agreement, relaxing their vigilance.

Wu You looked at Zhuo Donglai, recalling the earlier scene of him being struck by a sword, and gravely asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Zhuo alright?"

Zhuo Donglai had already tended to his wounds. As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his body had undergone a rebirth, surpassing that of an ordinary human body. His self-healing capabilities were quite strong, so even more severe injuries posed no real threat.

Moreover, although Wang Chunyang's residual sword penetrated Zhuo Donglai's body, it didn't harm the vital organs. Thus, what might be fatal to ordinary people was merely a superficial wound to a Foundation Establishment expert like Zhuo.

Zhuo Donglai glanced at his injuries and shook his head, "It's merely a superficial wound. I just didn't expect such a powerful Sword Cultivator to exist in this world. Earlier, if his sword were a bit more powerful, I might not have had the chance to meet with you all again."

Everyone on-site felt the overbearing might of Wang Chunyang's sword earlier, each feeling a bit apprehensive and grave.

"Indeed, who would have thought that the Cultivation Realm on Earth, just getting started, already birthed such a formidable Sword Cultivator!"

"In a Spiritual Energy Revival plane, there tends to be an initial surge of geniuses. It seems the Earth Space is no different. Cultivators here are rising quickly and may even hold a significant position in the Central Great World in the future."

"Hmph, it's not that easy. The Central Great World is teeming with strong forces among the five domains; even if our Southern Domain is relatively weaker, we still have three two-star sects, each with a Divinity Transformation Ancestor. This tiny Earth Space Cultivation realm currently has just a few hundred individuals, and only just begun. The strongest is merely in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment. It would take at least five hundred years to produce a Divinity Transformation stronghold. Do you all think the forces from the Southern Domain would allow such a small plane world the time to grow strong?"

The group nodded in agreement.

In the Cultivation World, the law of the jungle prevails, and any formidable sects or aristocratic families will suppress the development of other cultivation forces.

For as others grow stronger, they'll seize the cultivation resources from the original sects and families.

This give-and-take means that the stronger the opponent, the greater the threat to one's sect and aristocratic family.

Thus, in the harsh Cultivation World, even renowned sects and demonic paths alike won't permit neighboring forces to grow strong.

Therefore, the three two-star sects and three major cultivation aristocratic families in the southern part of the Southern Domain will absolutely not allow the cultivators of the adjacent Earth Plane to grow and develop, attempting to suppress them with the utmost force.

Wu You pondered for a while and said, "Though our sects and aristocratic families won't allow the Earth Cultivation realm to rise up, hindering their current growth poses the greatest challenge."

The group silently nodded.

The main obstruction is the limitation of the teleportation passage.

The space channel connecting the two worlds was heavily warded, permitting at most the passage of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even spirit ships must possess second-rank defense and attack capabilities to traverse.

This means the Southern Domain's cultivation forces can only send Foundation Establishment cultivators to conquer the Earth.

Meanwhile, the Earth Cultivation Realm has also produced several Foundation Establishment cultivators. Most annoyingly, the bastards from the Lingxiao Sect, for some unknown reason, have betrayed the Southern Domain's cultivation forces and allied with the Earth Cultivation Realm.

Now their spirit ship has been seized by the enemy, even retreating to report back is not an option.

Recalling the excitement when chosen by the sect and family to explore Earth Space compared with the current situation, everyone felt a pang of frustration.

"After today's raid, we've startled them, and their defenses will be even more stringent in the future, making another raid on that Yang kid nearly impossible," one said.

"That Yang kid can teleport short distances consecutively. Most daunting is, the spiritual treasure he holds is too formidable; none of us can confront him alone. Only by forming a team of three or even four or more will we be safe when encountering him."

"Indeed, if we could eliminate this kid, no one in the Earth Cultivation Realm could stop us. Unfortunately, today's golden opportunity was ruined by that Heaven-devouring Divine Beast."

Everyone showed a hint of regret.

After discussing for a while, Wu You said, "A sudden attack on them again is unlikely anytime soon. We might as well return near the teleportation passage and wait for the sect to send someone to investigate the situation."

"That'd be fine. When we came over, we agreed with them on a one-month period. As long as we don't send any messages back within a month, they'll send people over."

"Right, let's guard there first. Once the sect sends more Foundation Establishment experts, we'll head directly to White Jade City, dealing once and for all with the enemies."

"Let's do that."

The group finalised their plan and decided to return near the teleportation passage.

At that moment, a faint sound of something tearing through the air came from a distance. The group looked up and their expressions changed.

"They're chasing us!"
