Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 437: Chapter 379: Divine Spring’s Feint

”Where’s that guy Han Yu?”

Ling Wuce was asking Ou Mingdong.

No reason, he couldn’t handle it here.

Outside Minzhou City Gate, a monster the size of a mountain had already ravaged the surroundings beyond recognition.

The whole gate looked like it had been gnawed by a dog.

The Nine Sect Elders had united to create a massive barrier. As the main attacker, Ling Wuce exhausted all his life’s techniques on the monster, only to end up powerless.

Elder Luo shook his head and couldn’t help but speak, ”I told you, this monster has already turned into pure energy, and yet you wasted your efforts without listening.”

Nanli Sword Studio was the first to encounter the monster, and Elder Luo was the one most familiar with its extraordinary nature among the group.

Even before Ling Wuce acted, he had advised that the best course was to call over someone capable of restraining this fiend.

But he didn’t listen and insisted on trying it himself.

Now, exhausted and helpless, who could be blamed?

Not hearing a response from Ou Mingdong for a long time, Ling Wuce couldn’t help but glance around, his expression swiftly changing after a moment.

”Hey, your apprentice seems to have fallen to his death!”

He hurriedly reminded the Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower.

Initially, outside the barrier, Ou Mingdong was still mid-flight. Somehow, he had fallen, and now his whole body lay sprawled on the ground, motionless like a dog eating dirt.

”Not... not dead.”

Ou Mingdong’s voice came from the ground as he struggled to lift his head before pulling himself out of the dirt.

The Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower quickly descended to inspect him, casting a sharp look before speaking irritably, ”What’s your story again?”

Ou Mingdong wanted to know what was going on too.

”My Divine Spring has run away again.”

He lamented tearfully. They had talked it over before setting off, and things had been calm for days only for it to mess up at the critical moment.

”Where is your Divine Spring then?”

The Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower scanned the area but didn’t see any trace of the Divine Spring.

”There... over there...”

Ou Mingdong’s face suddenly turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, his trembling hand pointing inside the barrier.

A haze-like entity was continuously passing through the barrier, from outside to inside, eventually returning to the form of a small pool of water.

Crossing the Barrier!

Ou Mingdong’s Divine Spring could cross the barrier.

Just this ability left everyone stunned.

What did this signify?

”Maybe in the future, if you’re trapped, your Divine Spring can still roam freely and escape.”

The Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower marveled.

”You two can still joke around; old ghost, your apprentice’s Divine Spring is just heading to seek death.”

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City spoke irritably. In just a few words, the Divine Spring had done something jaw-dropping again.

It sneakily began scurrying across the ground towards the monster.

”Not good, hurry and save the person... no, save the Divine Spring.”

The Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower’s expression changed. This was no joke; everyone understood the significance of a Divine Spring to a cultivator.

Without it, a cultivator would be rendered utterly useless.

But within the barrier, there was only Ling Wuce. The other nine stayed outside to support the barrier.

He’s the only one who could stop it.

”Hurry and help!”

Because of this, he had no choice but to shout at Ling Wuce.

Ling Wuce caught his breath, quickly recovered a bit, and then dived down, reaching out his hand to grasp the Divine Spring.

But before he could touch it, the Divine Spring unpredictably transformed into vapor.

That grab naturally missed, and Ling Wuce quickly pulled out his trusty large copper bowl, tossing it at the vaporized Divine Spring while giving chase.

Unexpectedly, the cunning little thing zigzagged continuously, constantly evading the bowl’s direction.

Several times, just when the mouth of the bowl was about to slam down, it narrowly escaped.

Capturing it without causing harm was exceedingly tricky, but applying more force was risky because no one knew if Ou Mingdong’s Divine Spring could withstand it.

This was indeed problematic for Ling Wuce.

The copper bowl continued the chase, poised to capture, but the Divine Spring suddenly stopped running because it had reached the feet of the monster.

Oh no!

Ou Mingdong turned deathly pale, what madness drove his Divine Spring?

Ling Wuce’s expression also changed; while everyone avoided the monster, this peculiar Divine Spring dared approached it – surely it was mad.

Pin it down!

The airborne copper bowl hastily descended in an attempt to suppress and retrieve the Divine Spring before it could get into deeper trouble.

But of all the bad timing, this little thing wanted to stir trouble.

Before the copper bowl could cover it, it managed to crawl under the monster first.

Ling Wuce’s copper bowl missed its mark. Realizing time was running out, he could only charge forward and unleash a barrage of attacks at the monster.

The monster, provoked again, sent hundreds of black pythons dancing wildly, twisting and rising swiftly, filling the sky with their dark shadows in an instant.

Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!

Ling Wuce formed a seal and concentrated, his energy locking onto the group of pythons as a volcanic phantom materialized in mid-air.

Kill!

With an order, the phantom thundered down with crushing force, echoing a colossal boom that made the entire Minzhou City shake.

He watched as the onslaught wiped out the pythons, and just as a smile appeared, the previously dissipated pythons suddenly reformed from thin air.

Still not working, these energy entities were too troublesome.

Meanwhile, the Divine Spring had already leapt onto the monster’s body.

It had gone too far in courting death, likely beyond saving!

Even if Ling Wuce wanted to save them, he didn’t have the ability anymore. He couldn’t get close at all.

Even Ou Mingdong could only look at the Divine Spring being devoured in despair...

”Look, it’s not dead.”

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City exclaimed again, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. A Divine Spring leaving its body was already absurd, but he didn’t expect it to get even more absurd.

The Divine Spring clinging to the monster looked like a patch of water on its body, seemingly inconspicuous, but the next moment, the monster seemed startled and started to thrash about wildly.

The water stains squirmed continuously, and the parts of the monster’s body it touched visibly dimmed in color.

Devour!

The Divine Spring can devour energy!

This truly left everyone dumbfounded. Such an unremarkable little Divine Spring could reverse-devour a monster.

”What’s going on with your Divine Spring?”

Even the Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower found it strange and quickly asked Ou Mingdong.

Ou Mingdong himself was baffled, he didn’t know either!

No, actually he did know, normally this mischievous thing would roam White Emperor City every day, amusing itself by teasing cultivators, leaving them not only disgraced but also mysteriously losing some True Essence.

He just hadn’t expected that this thing could even absorb energy bodies.

Some of the old guys from the Nine Sects seemed to have realized something, and their eyes lit up one after another.

”Let’s have a few of us go in while some stay to support the barrier.”

The Elder of Langya Mountain said after gulping down a mouthful of Spirit Wine.

Since Ou Mingdong’s Divine Spring could devour the monster, then they had a way to deal with it.

”I’ll go.”

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City opened a gap and dashed in without further ado. The Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower followed closely, and then the elders from Langya Mountain and Star Moon Pavilion, along with Elder Luo, joined in succession.

”Protect it.”

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City ordered, fully unleashing his spiritual power. A massive sword shadow descended from the sky like a mountain, thrusting straight at the monster’s head.

The others followed suit, launching a fierce bombardment against the monster.

Faced with enemies from all sides, the monster wanted to swat away the blood-sucking ”mosquito” on it while also having to fend off the swarm of ”flies” before it.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly favorable, Ling Wuce finally sighed in relief.

”Sure enough, this monster has a fatal flaw. It’s just an energy body, easily vanquished if you have the means to restrain it.”

Could a group of Realm of Transcendence cultivators really do nothing against this monster?

No.

The monster was strong because the special nature of its energy body made it hard to find a way to restrain it, making a group of people powerless despite their strength.

Without the restraint of the energy body, any one of them here could easily kill this beast.

A quarter of an hour later, Elder Luo suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After all that protection from the group, there should have been some change.

This monster’s size hadn’t changed at all, which shouldn’t be the case.

Wasn’t it devouring?

Devour then!

Not just him, the others also had strange expressions.

Their initial fervor had begun to cool, each turning around feeling something amiss.

They couldn’t help looking toward the Divine Spring’s position, only to see it still leisurely lying there, moving slightly.

But as it moved, it suddenly plopped, falling straight to the ground, then the pool of water twisted and quickly ran towards the outside of the barrier.

It vaporized, passed through the barrier, and quickly climbed onto Ou Mingdong, who was bewildered, until it burrowed back into him, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

”Does anyone know what’s going on?”

The Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower couldn’t help but ask.

”I guess it’s full?”

Responded Elder Luo, with a dark expression.

The others also looked grim. Good heavens! A large group of big shots were all set to be your backdrop, and you just ran away once you were full.

What is this?

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City couldn’t help but glare at the Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower, ”I feel like swearing.”

A dodgy old ghost took an unreliable apprentice.

Ou Mingdong was utterly aggrieved; he was a victim too!

What now?

”Can you still fight?”

The Great Elder of Langya Mountain’s Wine Gourd was almost empty, and he had recklessly used up over 70% of his spiritual power.

”Fight my ass, just tossed out a few rounds of my ultimate move, how am I supposed to keep fighting! Whose ultimate can just get tossed around endlessly?”

Elder Luo cursed, his face black as coal.

...

”Does this guy have no limit? Who the hell can keep using their ultimate move endlessly?”

Xiao Shui felt utterly hopeless.

His signature Divine Technique couldn’t even harm Han Yu, so how could he dare continue to fight?

Just relying on Transcendence realm cultivation?

Were there any fewer Transcendence realms that had fallen into his hands now?

Can’t beat him, and running...

He couldn’t help but glance back, immediately feeling a chill.

A monstrous Cyan Dragon opened its menacing fiery maw, with Han Yu smiling playfully inside, looking at him teasingly.

He could definitely strike directly, but intentionally lingered behind, pursuing.

”Don’t waste time.”

The Artifact Spirit, growing impatient, urged.

”I want him to take me to find the Fire Spirit, so I don’t have to search on my own.”
