Chapter 1022: Meeting Again
Inside the sealed domain, the chaotic storm from the fall of the Ancestor of Strength raged in all directions. As one of the primordial beings born at the dawn of the universe, the Ancestor of Strength had once held the Fate Qi and laws of this entire realm within its body. Now that its physical form had been utterly destroyed, those laws began returning to the heavens and earth.
Wei Xiaotian stood motionless at the center of the storm as his body underwent a drastic transformation. Having absorbed the majority of the Ancestor of Strength’s blood essence and origin, his humanoid form now resembled a giant swollen balloon on the verge of bursting.
The battle was over, but Li Xiaofei didn’t feel particularly exhausted. After all, he excelled at absorbing an opponent’s energy mid-battle, so he had devoured a portion of the blood essence released when the Ancestor of Strength had been obliterated.
Even so, a battle at this level posed a tremendous challenge. Li Xiaofei’s spiritual force was undeniably fatigued.
"You don’t need to worry," Lin Beichen said, glancing at him. "Leave the rest to me."
Li Xiaofei let out a quiet sigh of relief, then vanished. He entered the Secret Time Pavilion, beginning a short seclusion to reflect on and comprehend the insights gained from the recent battle.
His clash with the Ancestor of Strength had been his first true fight since becoming an Emperor. It was of great importance. Meanwhile, Lin Beichen casually pulled out another handful of sunflower seeds and continued watching Wei Xiaotian’s transformation unfold.
It was obvious that absorbing so much essence and blood from the Ancestor of Strength, despite the fact that they had once shared the same origin, was still incredibly difficult to refine and stabilize even for someone at the quasi-Emperor Realm.
Lin Beichen observed the changes with keen interest, as though enjoying a rare spectacle.
Time passed. Then, as if sensing something, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go on, don’t bother me."
In the distance, the spatial barriers shimmered and collapsed like flowing light as a figure flickered into view. It was none other than the Ancestor of Wisdom in the form of the young fisherman.
"I came to see one of my own," the Ancestor of Wisdom said softly. His gaze fell on Wei Xiaotian, who was still refining the blood essence and origin energy of the Ancestor of Strength. "We sealed the Ancestor of Strength together all for the sake of this very day, did we not? Lin Beichen, now that this day has finally come, I believe you owe me one final answer."
