Chapter 1330 - Clash
With the alchemy event nearing its end, Liu Wuxie stopped chasing the remaining Grand Unity Sect disciples. They had slipped into the mountain depths to hide, and if he were to pursue them now, the clash would turn gruesome.
The slaughter had drained Liu Wuxie's soul sea, and he needed time to recover. He sat, letting nether energy pour in from all directions while ambient spiritual energy condensed into liquid, streaming into him.
As his strength rose, his second-level Primal Origin Realm aura swept out like a tidal wave. He drove the Desolate Devouring Art faster and soon reached another breakthrough. Spatial shards crystallized and vanished into the air.
"Absorbing laws from heaven and earth! What heaven-defying cultivation method is he practicing?!" The Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples kept their distance, eyes wide with shock.
On the final day, everyone focused on cultivation.
Soon, the interstellar gate appeared, signaling the end of the alchemy event.
Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, and his divine sense swept outward as if reaching the universe's depths. After absorbing vast amounts of nether energy, the Ghost Pupil grew stronger than ever, and the Gate of Darkness expanded beyond expectations—now rivaling and even surpassing Avici Hell as an offensive force.
"Let's go!" Many cultivators started leaving the Netherworld through the interstellar gate.
Liu Wuxie led the elves and giants through the gate as well. The interstellar gate stood so massive that it enveloped the majority of the ninth level.
A wave of distortion washed over everyone for a few breaths, and their bodies swayed as they emerged from the gate. When Liu Wuxie stepped out, he first saw Zhuge Ming. The elves and giants returned to their warships, while Liu Wuxie followed Zhuge Ming back toward the Heavenly Dragon Gate region.
"Look! The Grand Unity Sect disciples seem to be missing a lot." From the nearby Nine Dragon Palace warship, they noted that only a little over 1,700 disciples had returned, even though the Grand Unity Sect sent three to four thousand to the alchemy event.
No one else emerged from the interstellar gate, which meant only this many from the Grand Unity Sect left the Netherworld. The other races suffered losses as well, but their numbers stayed within acceptable bounds.
