Chapter 1405: Simply Doesn't Consider Himself Human
So, under Jiangnan's lead, the two of them began a massive demolition operation in Hanshan Lingxu!
They shattered the floating icebergs one after another, and sure enough, discovered a snow-white Lingxu core inside!
It emitted an astonishing spatial fluctuation, giving Jiangnan a feeling of returning to his mother's embrace!
Jiangnan was overjoyed!
Back in the Void Sea, he had to sneak around and snatch things, and those One-Eyed Eels were guarding them strictly!
But here, there were no beasts to manage, he could take whatever he wanted, right?
Jiangnan and Bai Kou made a full round, smashing all the icebergs, and it took nearly a day!
Both of them had recovered from their miniature size back to normal!
They pieced together all the Lingxu fragments, forming an ice-white giant ball with a diameter of over 30 meters!
It was covered in intricate incantations, and the spatial fluctuations it emitted even twisted space!
Jiangnan looked at the core with great reluctance, but still said:
(T_T) "How about I split it half and half with you? Yushen is now in Hanshan Lingxu; with half the core, you can come visit him often!"
"I'll take the rest, alright?"
Bai Kou was stunned: (°△°?) "Huh? Didn't we agree on a 60-40 split?"
Jiangnan turned his head: (╥﹏╥) "You let me use the Godslayer Blade, so I'll graciously let you have an extra ten percent!"
"I'll also split the Yushen's Tears half and half with you, but that eight or nine hundred billion thing was agreed upon before—no cheating!"
"Hurry! Agree before I change my mind, or I won't be able to stop myself from taking it all!"
At this moment, Jiangnan forced himself not to look at the core, drooling uncontrollably.
(๑´ڡ`๑)
Bai Kou couldn't help but laugh out loud. Did he have to be so tsundere?
Take it all?
Can you even take it from me?
( ̄▽ ̄) "Fine! Since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly accept your charity!"
Jiangnan clutched his chest.
(´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
(づ♡ど)
"Is it too late to change my mind now?"
Bai Kou rolled her eyes and gave Jiangnan a flick on the forehead.
"We haven't found a way out yet; business first. Let me take a look at the core incantation to see if we can open a space gate."
With that, she fixed her gaze on the core, and Jiangnan also looked at her expectantly.
30 minutes later…
Bai Kou tilted her head, studying the core incantation, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes resting her chin in meditation.
(・~・)…(¯ก¯) hmm~
She touched the core with her little hand and even tried injecting incantations a few times.
Jiangnan: (-_-)…
"Alright… stop pretending! You realized you couldn't understand it by the third minute, didn't you? Still acting?"
Bai Kou froze, her face flushed red, and she awkwardly started fiddling with her fingers.
(‧̣̥̇ớ﹏ờ)ھ
Being seen through, Bai Kou felt humiliated.
After all, she was a Dao Heaven rank ceiling powerhouse, but she hadn't been of much use all along the way!
It was Jiangnan who had been leading her, and now she couldn't even find a door.
(︶₃︶) "I… I can still remember if I try harder. I used to know a lot of incantations, I just… forgot!"
"Don't underestimate me!"
Jiangnan: (⇀‸↼)
"I understand. After all, you're old. It's normal for your brain not to work well after being frozen so long."
"Sure enough, when frozen products are placed in a warm environment, they all de-frost. When they de-frost, there's always water."
"Try shaking your head—hear any 'swoosh swoosh' sound?"
Bai Kou frowned slightly and shook her head.
(❛ั◠❛ั) "No sound? How—"
[From Bai Kou, Resentment Value +1001!]
[From…]
Bai Kou looked furious, grabbed Jiangnan, and smacked him on the top of his head repeatedly.
٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶ "Pfft! Your brain is full of water! What de-frost? Go to hell, go to hell!"
Jiangnan snickered evilly, put away the core, and teleported to dodge the beating.
"Let's just think about how to get out first. If you mess up my brain, we'll really be stuck here."
"After all, I can't count on an old antique like you."
Bai Kou was furious: "You still say that?"
…
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Jiangnan sliced open a crack several hundred meters long in the Blue Ice Wall using his Rift-Saw Blade!
The crack was pitch black inside, and dense spatial wind blew out, clanging as it cut into the ground.
Jiangnan's face darkened: "If we can't get out, we'll have to go back the way we came, but now the road is gone!"
He had cut open several different spots on the Blue Ice Wall, but the result was the same every time!
The space near the Blue Ice Wall of Shenyu Lingxu had completely collapsed!
Who knew how many tens of thousands of meters of space had been shattered!
As soon as he entered, he would inevitably fall into the Dimensional Gap!
Originally, if both sides of space were open, Jiangnan could have used the coin in Lan's hand to swap back through the spatial mark.
But now, even after cutting through the ice wall, he couldn't sense the spatial mark on the coin!
That meant Lan was more than a hundred thousand meters away at this point!
This was a tough situation to handle!
He didn't know if the space collapse had affected Xuexue and the others, but with Momo around, it should be fine.
Bai Kou poked her head out curiously to look at the dimensional rift.
(•︠~•︡) "The collapsed space shouldn't be too large in scope. Can't you just teleport over that area?"
Jiangnan's face grew even darker.
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Do you think I'm a god or something? I'm only Diamond rank; my maximum teleport distance is just ten thousand meters."
"I can't sense the mark I left over there either. Teleporting would drop me right into the Dimensional Gap!"
"If I were Dao Heaven rank, I could just 'whoosh' right through, okay?"
Bai Kou's eyes lit up. Had she finally found her chance?
She quickly straightened up, lifted her head slightly, put on a blank expression, and looked down at Jiangnan condescendingly.
(‾᷄д‾᷅) "Eh~ Diamond rank? Only ten thousand meters? You're so weak!"
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅)
"You're strong? You've lived over two thousand years and still can't handle a broken space? The panties and tank top you're wearing were bought on credit from me!"
"Sure enough! The older you get, the more useless you become! A water Dao Heaven! Trash Kou!"
Bai Kou blushed, instantly losing her composure, and clenched her fists to punch Jiangnan.
٩(`꒳´)۶ "You're the trash Kou! Pfft! Trash Nan! I didn't say I wouldn't pay you for the panties and tank top; I just didn't bring any money!"
Jiangnan quickly covered his head and ran away. So that's how it was—can't win an argument, so she just hits?
I haven't even reached Star Glory yet! If I did, I'd take you on despite the rank difference!
Thinking of this, Jiangnan suddenly paused.
A fierce look crossed his face: "You look down on me? Then I'll go all out!"
With that, he pulled out a Yushen's Tear.
Bai Kou was startled: "What are you doing? You're going to absorb the Yushen's Tear? Don't! Don't be stupid!"
"The space energy inside it is collected from the Dimensional Gap; it's extremely violent and completely different from ordinary space energy!"
"Human body structure is different from dimensional creatures. With your physical strength, you can't take it!"
A single one could blow open a thousand-meter-wide space, proving how wild the Yushen's Tear was!
It was something Yushen had personally condensed!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "Is there any other way? I've absorbed Mother Vine's vine marrow before—what's so great about a Yushen's Tear?"
"People have to be brave and try new things!"
Jiangnan had long wanted to try if he could absorb it; only by trying would he know!
Bai Kou: !!!
Brave and try new things? You're just brave and looking for death!
"Boom!"
With a loud blast, Jiangnan directly activated his One Thought Asura mode. Ghost howls shook the heavens, and blood mist filled the air!
His physical functions skyrocketed to the limit!
If his normal state couldn't handle it, then he would absorb it while in One Thought Asura mode!
As a last resort, he still had Dali!
But unless absolutely necessary, Jiangnan would never drink it!
Head can be broken, blood can be spilled, but I will never go bald!
He shoved a handful of Minor Ginseng into his mouth and began to absorb the energy from the Yushen's Tear!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Jiangnan's arms burst open like cherry bombs, spraying large patches of blood!
The blood splattered all over Bai Kou!
But he just barely managed to withstand the energy impact of the Yushen's Tear!
Under the effect of the Small Whip, his body began to repair itself rapidly to maintain strength!
Yet the piercing pain made Jiangnan grit his teeth!
He opened a bottle of Deadly Green Club and chugged it down; the pain instantly dropped to -100%!
At that point, he no longer felt any pain!
As a whole Yushen's Tear shattered, all the violent space energy was absorbed by Jiangnan!
His body kept exploding with blood flowers, in a state of non-stop destruction and repair that seemed endless!
If it weren't for the Deadly Green Club's pain relief, even Jiangnan himself couldn't bear such torment!
At this moment, Jiangnan's face was bright red, and within him surged infinite, violent space energy, dashing left and right!
He felt so strong he could explode!
But his rank did not increase—not because Jiangnan didn't want to level up!
It was because the space energy in the Yushen's Tear was too dirty to absorb directly!
If normal spirit bead space energy was clear warm water,
then dimensional spirit bead energy was slightly turbid boiling water!
The Yushen's Tear energy was like scorching lava and boiling hot oil!
This was purely condensed by Yushen as a driving source for the Star Ring—not meant for human use!
At that moment, the violent space energy Jiangnan himself emitted had already twisted space and even blasted out fine spatial cracks!
He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and the bloody smell rushed straight to Bai Kou's nose!
Bai Kou paced around in anxiety!
Using something meant for the Star Ring—that's just not treating yourself like a human!
Just what kind of freakish physical quality did Jiangnan have?
He could withstand the impact of a Yushen's Tear even at Diamond rank?
His physical strength was already close to Star Glory, wasn't it?
And he could heal his own injuries?
No wonder he was so bold!
Jiangnan spat out a clot of blood and grinned.
"Damn! The space energy in the Yushen's Tear might be dirty, but it's a lot and it's fierce!"
"If I don't absorb it, I can at least use it to power my spirit techniques!"
Simply put, he swapped the container, putting the energy from the Yushen's Tear into Jiangnan's body!
And Jiangnan planned to use this explosive energy to drive his own spirit techniques!
Just how crazy the effect would be, Jiangnan himself didn't know!
