Chapter 1325 - Refining the Yin-Yang Stone
The killing intensified. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured the energy and laws of every fallen nether clansman, and the darkness laws streamed toward the Ghost Pupil.
"How ruthless of you to use your fellow clansmen as bait to awaken the Ghost Pupil," Liu Wuxie said. He had already seen through the elder's ploy.
The members of the nether clan who came here never intended to leave. They intended to use the darkness laws within them to nurture the Ghost Pupil, and once it fully awakened, the elder would make a move to capture him alive.
"You're right. Only enough laws of darkness can awaken the Ghost Pupil," the elder replied.
He did not bother to hide that he used his clansmen to hasten the Ghost Pupil's growth and accelerate its awakening. After all, the Ghost Pupil had yet to mature; even if he captured Liu Wuxie, it would dissipate once gouged out. His only option was to accelerate its growth to ensure it would not dissipate when gouged out.
After seeing through the elder's plan, Liu Wuxie slowed his killing. The more he slew, the faster the Ghost Pupil would mature and hasten his death. He shifted his focus to fusing the darkness laws into the desolate world to comprehend the Great Death Mythical Art, thereby restraining the Ghost Pupil's growth.
"It's useless. Once the Ghost Pupil absorbs enough laws of darkness, it will mature on its own," the elder said, seeing through Liu Wuxie's intentions.
He was not wrong; Liu Wuxie could not control the Ghost Pupil's growth. When he absorbed the surrounding darkness laws, most poured into the desolate world, while a smaller portion went into the Ghost Pupil.
The elder showed no urgency and waited patiently. Compared to the Ghost Pupil, the deaths of some nether clansmen meant nothing. He even injected more darkness laws into Liu Wuxie's body; the stronger the Ghost Pupil became, the more pleased he felt.
The fight reached a standstill when Liu Wuxie stopped killing, yet the nether clan continued to charge at him relentlessly. His mind raced, searching for a way out.
Meanwhile, A'Lei and A'Li searched anxiously on the eighth level. They combed every corner and still could not find Liu Wuxie. Vanya, on the verge of tears, sat on A'Lei's shoulder in mounting anxiety. They had no idea where Liu Wuxie had gone, and only five days remained before the alchemy event ended.
Most participants had reached the ninth level, and, strangely, all nether clan forces had disappeared from the eighth. No one knew where they had gone. Perhaps only Liu Wuxie knew that the nether clan from the seventh to the ninth level had entered the Yin-Yang Realm.
