Chapter 320 - 123: Level 9 Giant Scorpion, Phoenix’s Ultimate

"This feels great."

"This boost to my Life Force is even bigger than what I get from a cultivation breakthrough."

Zhuge Qingtian opened his eyes, a look of pure bliss on his face.

Even though he hadn’t absorbed as much as Chen Yu, even this small portion was a significant improvement.

"Good thing I’m following Brother Yu. Otherwise, I would have missed out on something this amazing."

Zhuge Qingtian grinned.

Chen Yu opened his eyes, sensing the dragon-like Life Force surging within him.

His Life Force had grown even more vast.

To others, he would seem like a scorching sun, burning fiercely.

His qi and blood were like the sun!

"It was a team effort. We helped each other out. I doubt I could have gained this much on my own," Chen Yu said, letting out a breath.

Dongfang Yao also opened her eyes, feeling the vast Life Force.

She never imagined it could grow so much in less than a day.

Chen Yu looked into the distance and said, "Let’s keep going."

The other two nodded. Then, the trio shot into the sky, vanishing from the ruined canyon in the blink of an eye.

—

The night was like still water.

The nights in the Starry Realm were fantastical.

Above, countless swirling nebulae cast an enchanting glow.

But beneath this light, danger lurked!

The temperature plummeted at night, dropping to over ten degrees below zero. A biting chill swept through, threatening to extinguish all life at any moment.

However, this temperature wasn’t a major issue for Chen Yu and the others.

With their powerful physiques and abundant qi and blood, they could withstand temperatures as low as a hundred degrees below zero.

—

’Five hundred million...’

Chen Yu looked at the amount of Source of Life on his interface, feeling very content.

In just one day, he had accumulated five hundred million Source of Life.

At this rate, he would gather the two billion needed for his body’s Evolution in just a few days.

But besides the two billion Source of Life for his body’s Evolution, many other things required it as well.

For instance, God’s Will—a Skill he had yet to max out.

It needed six hundred million Source of Life.

However, Chen Yu planned to evolve his body first. After that, he would upgrade God’s Will.

’With my current Life Force, it would be difficult to withstand the side effects of God’s Will.’

’But if I evolve my body one more time, I’m confident it won’t be a problem, even at max level.’

And all of this required a massive amount of Source of Life.

’No need to rush. I’ll take it step by step.’

Chen Yu was very satisfied with this rate of increase.

After all, one couldn’t accumulate it this quickly in an ordinary Abyss.

To him, the Starry Realm was truly a land of immense treasure!

Closing the interface, Chen Yu glanced at his two companions, who were half-asleep and half-cultivating, before his gaze shifted to the cave entrance.

The fantastical nebulae illuminated the land. In the distance, he could see a powerful Frost Storm raging.

From time to time, the roars and snarls of Star Beasts could be heard.

The Starry Realm at night was just like Hell.

After a final look at the dreamlike world outside, Chen Yu closed his eyes, activated his Celestial Destiny Skill, and resumed his cultivation.

...

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, the trio woke up in a mountain cave.

Although their Life Force was strong enough to go a month without rest, in a place like this, it was best to maintain peak condition.

You never knew when you might run into something big, and by then, it would be too late for regrets.

The three drank a bottle of Energy Secret Medicine, and their hunger vanished instantly.

Zhuge Qingtian looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, you must be close to a breakthrough, right?"

Chen Yu shook his head. "Not yet. It’ll take a few more days."

Zhuge Qingtian smiled. "If we get lucky today and find a Star Spring, you might be able to do it in just one day."

"That depends on luck. Finding a Star Spring likely means facing danger as well," Dongfang Yao analyzed calmly.

"What’s there to be afraid of? The three of us together can walk over anyone," Zhuge Qingtian said, patting his chest with a confident expression.

"Let’s go take a look outside first," Chen Yu said, getting up and walking toward the entrance.

The other two followed him out of the cave.

In the sky, the light of the nebulae swirled as the trio gazed into the distance.

"What do you think about continuing in the same direction as yesterday?" Chen Yu asked, looking from the horizon back to Zhuge Qingtian and Dongfang Yao.

The two nodded. "No problem. Let’s keep going the same way. I have a feeling we’ll run into plenty of Star Beasts."

SWOOSH—!

Having reached an agreement, Chen Yu was the first to vanish, heading into the distance.

The other two followed close behind, soon disappearing into the mountains as well.

...

Starlight shone down.

A few hours later, Chen Yu’s group appeared in a vast desert.

The sand here was also silver.

From a distance, it seemed to flow like water.

This was the first desert they had entered since arriving in the Starry Realm.

"The special Spiritual Qi here seems stronger. You think there might be a Star Spring?" Zhuge Qingtian asked, blinking as he gazed out at the endless desert.

"It might just be that the change in environment increased the Spiritual Qi. There’s no telling if we’ll find a Star Spring."

Dongfang Yao said.

BOOM—!

Just then, a tall sand dune suddenly exploded, and a giant scorpion emerged from within.

Its silver carapace looked as if it were forged from steel.

It was enormous, a full hundred meters in size.

Its two large pincers waved about, and the several-meter-long stinger on its tail glinted coldly under the starlight.

Its aura was powerful. This hundred-meter-long scorpion was a level-eight variant beast.

HISS!

After bursting out of the dune, the giant scorpion hissed and roared at Chen Yu and his companions.
