Chapter 697 - - 534 Luck is everyone’s_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Xu Jinkui subconsciously furrowed his brow, turned to leave, but after some thought, he just couldn’t feel at ease. Steeling his heart, he pushed toward the great doors of the Scripture Library, but when he pushed against them, they did not budge. He was taken aback, and with a fierce effort, he rammed open the doors of the Scripture Library.

Elder Daoming was originally using his Spiritual Power to maintain the Concealment Array, but after Duge merged the five Cultivation Techniques into one, he forcibly extracted all of Elder Daoming’s Spiritual Power, leaving him completely drained. With no Spiritual Power to sustain it, the Concealment Array dissipated in an instant.

When Xu Jinkui broke open the doors of the Scripture Library, what he saw was Duge sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing his cultivation, and Elder Daoming, nearly burned out but still desperately trying to hold on.

Hum!

Xu Jinkui’s mind went blank.

As Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he naturally knew how formidable Elder Daoming’s Spiritual Power was. And now, Elder Daoming was transferring his Spiritual Power to that Water Demon in almost the same manner as a power transfer.

He dared not imagine how powerful Duge, inheriting a thousand years of Elder Daoming’s cultivation, would become. The Black Tortoise Pearl was originally a water-attributed Magical Treasure, and now in the hands of a Water Demon…

Elder Daoming was truly bewitched by that demon!

Luckily, he arrived just in time!

“Villain!” Xu Jinkui bellowed, drew his Sky Gang Sword, and with all his Spiritual Power, slashed towards Duge.

“Stop!” How could Elder Daoming stand by and watch his hope being destroyed? In desperation, he once again brought out the Black Tortoise Pearl to protect Duge. “Xu Jinkui, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Elder, how can you be so confused!” Unable to break through the defense of the Black Tortoise Pearl in a moment, Xu Jinkui said angrily, “This monster’s origins are unknown, how can you transfer all your Spiritual Power to him? Withdraw the Black Tortoise Pearl quickly, let me slay this demon spawn…”

“If you want to kill him, you’ll have to step over my body first.” Elder Daoming stopped transferring his power to Duge and stood up tall, holding the Black Tortoise Pearl, resolutely confronting Xu Jinkui. His own spiritual power was nearly exhausted, barely enough to protect just him and Duge with the Black Tortoise Pearl, let alone anything more.

At this time.

Duge had already integrated the five Cultivation Techniques into one new set. His Golden Core spun in his body like a top, rapidly growing as it rotated, drawing in the surrounding Spiritual Energy—his efficiency was countless times greater than when he had only practiced the Nine Revolutions Universe Skill.

Without Elder Daoming as his power bank, he could only capture Spiritual Energy from the air.

With Duge as the center, Spiritual Energy crazily surged into his body, forming a visible vortex of Spiritual Energy around him. After the emergence of the vortex, it kept expanding, breaking past the confines of the Scripture Library and gradually spreading across the entire Heavenly Master Peak.

The disciples of Heavenly Master Peak, who had just been injured by the Black Tortoise Pearl and were healing with their elixirs, were suddenly caught by the surging Spiritual Energy vortex that forcibly extracted all the Spiritual Energy from around them.

The disciples had to stop their cultivation and opened their innocent eyes, completely unaware of what had happened.

…

What is this?

What kind of domineering Cultivation Technique is this?

Not good!

A Great Demon Monster!

This is a calamity for Dragon Tiger Mountain!

Seeing this scene, Xu Jinkui was shocked speechless but quickly came to his senses, both alarmed and afraid: “Elder Daoming, step aside at once, let me slay this demon. If he succeeds in his cultivation, Dragon Tiger Mountain is doomed!”

“Good, good, good, it’s done!” Elder Daoming turned to glance at Duge, looking mad as a hatter. By now, having drained all his resources, he had forgotten all about controlling Duge, singularly focused on the thought that after Duge’s power improved, he could help him quickly recover his Daoist Base.

“Mad, completely mad,” Xu Jinkui repeatedly chopped at the Black Tortoise Pearl with his sword. “Elder Daoming, you’ve raised this Great Demon; do you really think he can help you restore your Daoist Base? Dragon Tiger Mountain will be ruined in his hands…”

Unable to break through the defense of the Black Tortoise Pearl immediately, Xu Jinkui, noticing the shriveling Spiritual Energy vortex, felt a hitch in his heart and turned to run outside, planning to call the Peak Masters who had just left to join forces and eliminate the demon.

But the moment he dashed out, he involuntarily fell into a vast darkness, trapping him like a quagmire, severing his connection with the outside world.

“Sect Leader Xu, please stay a while.”

Duge’s voice sounded in Xu Jinkui’s ear, “We can talk this over, there’s no need for the rash shouting and killing.”

Duge hadn’t moved, but he had pulled Xu Jinkui back simply by manipulating the Dark God Power.

As Xu Jinkui faced off against Elder Daoming, an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy surged into Duge’s Golden Core, causing it to rupture and transform into three tiny babies seated cross-legged.

One baby glowed, with a sun halo behind its head, which followed meridian pathways upwards into the Niwan Palace;

The second baby was surrounded with a celestial blue aura, faint currents of water revolving around it, likewise following meridian pathways upwards, entering the Cyan Palace in the Middle Dantian;

The third baby was enveloped in a black energy, still seated within the Lower Dantian Qi Palace;

The Golden Core, having combined the three God Powers into one, spawned three Nascent Souls after the rupture. Although the God Powers were now separate, they could still transform into one another, even more harmoniously than during the Golden Core Stage.

Most crucially, having absorbed a millennium of Elder Daoming’s Spiritual Power, and plundered the Spiritual Energy of the entire Heavenly Master Peak, Duge felt his Divine Power expand by at least fifty times, so much so that trapping Xu Jinkui, who was at the Unity Realm Stage, with his Dark God Power felt effortless.

You should know, just a few hours ago, he was being chased around by several at the Unity Stage like a rabbit!
