Jiang Yuan was completely deflated, but upon closer examination, this method also had many flaws.
First, let's talk about the difficulty of obtaining 100,000 points of divine energy. The energy obtained from devouring is not much. Even if he has enough prey to devour, his devouring speed is only five points of divine energy per hour, and only 120 points of divine energy per day. If he wants to collect 100,000, it will take more than 800 days at most.
Even if the Devouring Realm evolves again or his cultivation level increases, thus increasing the Devouring Speed, it will still take five hundred days, which is beyond his capacity to endure.
Moreover, even setting aside the issue of time, why would Yu Tu spend five hundred days with me?
"No, relying solely on devouring is too slow!" Jiang Yuan's eyes were serious; one must live in reality.
"It seems I still need to find rare and precious materials or break through my own limitations to improve my spiritual barrier!"
Both of these are methods to enhance the spiritual barrier, just like the Azure Lotus Pill before, which also has the ability to enhance the spiritual barrier!
As for breaking through one's own limits, this path is both the easiest and the most difficult, because even he himself does not know where his limits are.
Just as Jiang Yuan was pondering, the sound of fighting suddenly reached his ears.
"Is there a battle going on nearby?"
Jiang Yuan became alert. After adjusting the aura of the Nine Provinces' fortune, he placed it back into the depths of Echo Valley, and then walked towards the source of the commotion.
"You lowly humans, how dare you offend my Holy Spirit race!"
A silver-armored holy spirit led his team to surround a group of mercenaries, and at this moment the silver-armored holy spirit was looking down at them with mockery.
"Qing Shuang, thank you for your support, but the situation is critical. We'll try to help you break through!" The human with a penetrating wound in his chest shakily stood up from the ground.
"Just a bunch of Holy Spirits, kill them all!" Huo Yun stood proudly before the Holy Spirits, sword in hand.
"Liu Wenxuan, is this the first time you've met me, Qing Shuang?"
Qing Shuang calmly drew her longsword, her entire body radiating intense fighting spirit.
"Qing Shuang!" Liu Wenxuan's hand holding the weapon trembled slightly.
"A bunch of lowly people on the verge of death, still putting on a show of loyalty and righteousness in front of me. Don't you find it a bit ridiculous?" the Silver-Armored Holy Spirit sneered coldly.
It's them!
As soon as Jiang Yuan infiltrated, he discovered the standoff between the two sides. The human side consisted of people he recognized, as both teams had purchased information about Echo Valley from him. The Frost Squad was the only female mercenary team, and Jiang Yuan had a deep impression of them. The other team was the Mountain Fox Squad, led by Liu Wenxuan.
Both teams have players above level nine, and the Mountain Fox team even has two, making them incredibly strong.
As for the opposing Holy Spirit Clan, Jiang Yuan could only identify the Silver-Armored Holy Spirits, since Luo Fei had worn the same silver armor earlier, presumably belonging to the Spirit King's forces. As for the remaining Holy Spirits, although Jiang Yuan couldn't recognize them, they generally looked familiar, and some of them were Qiao Ling's men.
"It seems that I killed Qiao Ling, which attracted the Spirit King!" Jiang Yuan was certain in his heart. Qiao Ling's people and the Spirit King's people were in cahoots, and there must be some connection between them. Avenging Qiao Ling was the most likely reason.
He didn't dare to move forward any further, but instead scanned the two shadowy locations. The senses granted by his Heavenly Eye told him that there were still Silver-Armored Holy Spirits here, but he couldn't know exactly where they were, at least not before they made their move.
"We originally intended to follow the Spirit King's orders and spare your lives, but you've chosen your own path to death, so don't blame us!" the silver-armored Holy Spirit coldly threatened.
"Enough with the nonsense, take this sword!"
Huo Yun, with his fiery temper, launched the first attack on the Silver-Armored Holy Spirit.
"A mere ninth-tier cultivator? I could annihilate you with a flick of my finger!"
The silver-armored holy spirit flashed and reappeared in front of Huo Yun. Just as he said, he threw a punch, and a huge force poured onto Huo Yun's sword. As the energy exploded, Huo Yun staggered and was knocked back more than ten meters.
"Gulp!" Huo Yun forced down the blood she had coughed up after being beaten. A look of disbelief flashed in her beautiful eyes. The opponent's sudden burst of power far exceeded her expectations.
"I'm in a good mood today, so you can enjoy the beauty of life to the fullest! After you've enjoyed it to the fullest, I will send you to the altar to become a wisp of soul on my path to becoming a powerful king!" The silver-armored holy spirit laughed wickedly, as if repelling the fire cloud just now was a trivial matter.
"Arrogant!"
Huoyun activated his bloodline, and pure flame power spread from his body, covering his shapely physique with a red armor of light and shadow. "Holy Spirit, show me your true power!"
Huo Yun charged forward, and the others followed suit. However, the numbers on both sides were clearly disproportionate. The Qing Shuang squad had five members, while the Shan Hu squad had even fewer, only four. At this moment, the nine humans were facing three times their number of Holy Spirits, making their chances of victory extremely slim.
"Something feels off!" Jiang Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the scene from afar.
Among these people, Qing Shuang's combat power is obviously much higher, but she still let Huo Yun deal with the Silver Armored Holy Spirit. Could it be that Qing Shuang is also on guard against something?
With these questions in mind, Jiang Yuan chose to continue watching.
Although Huoyun unleashed his full power, he was still not strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the Silver Armored Holy Spirit. His energy deficiency became a point of attack for the opponent during the battle.
The tenth move resulted in Huoyun being struck again.
By the eighteenth move, Huo Yun had already been beaten to the point of vomiting blood.
In the twenty-second move, the Fiery Cloud Armor shattered, and while its energy was depleted, it was struck by a punch from the Silver Armored Holy Spirit, shattering its left shoulder blade and several ribs.
It can be said that Huoyun's defeat was happening at an increasingly rapid pace.
