His mental sea instantly filled up, and countless energies overflowed from it.
Li Yu was sitting quietly, pondering the complex situation regarding this dragon vein.
Suddenly, he felt a massive surge of energy rushing into his body from his mental sea like a tidal wave.
This white energy came on strong and unstoppable. There was so much of it that the vortex couldn't absorb it in time, and it had already flowed through Li Yu's entire body along his meridians.
Countless cells and muscles in the body are tightly compressed by the sudden increase in energy, and can only frantically absorb the surrounding energy in an attempt to relieve the enormous pressure on the body.
"Bang, bang."
A dull sound kept emanating from Li Yu's body; it was the faint cracking sound of his meridians and bones due to energy overload.
In just a short while, Li Yu's entire body swelled up uncontrollably, becoming noticeably larger.
His muscles became increasingly firm and then bulged high, as if a powerful force was surging beneath his skin, seemingly about to break free and burst forth at any moment.
This sudden and drastic change left Fu Xiyao, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded and unable to react for a long time.
Faced with the massive surge of white energy gushing from his mental sea, Li Yu clenched his fists, feeling as if his body was about to burst. He hurriedly questioned loudly within his mental sea:
"Nightmare Beast, what have you done!"
The Nightmare Beast's voice immediately rang in Li Yu's mind, its tone carrying a hint of flattery and urgency:
"Star Lord, please don't be agitated. This is what I should do!"
There was a hint of self-praise in the voice, as if the speaker felt they had done something incredibly good.
Li Yu: "......"
Li Yu was speechless for a moment, feeling both angry and anxious. Her answer was both laughable and pathetic.
The Nightmare Beast continued its explanation in a fawning tone:
"The spirit of that assassin contained a trace of the primordial power of the world within the painting. I thought that Star Lord would definitely need it, so I sent it all over at once!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes widened instantly. They sent him everything?
It's important to understand that this white energy, which has absorbed the ghostly white mist, cannot be converted into experience by the cyclone even after being transformed by the Nightmare Beast; it can only be slowly absorbed by the body itself.
The reason my body suddenly became more muscular and bulky was because I had taken in too much of this white energy.
Obtaining more white energy all at once is like trying to burst your own stomach.
Li Yu immediately closed his eyes and immersed himself in his mental sea, wanting to see what this nightmare beast was up to. Did it want to break free now? Was it deliberately threatening him in this way?
Upon seeing Li Yu's spiritual form suddenly appear, the Nightmare Beast hurriedly floated over, saying with a fawning expression:
"No need for the Star Lord to personally express his gratitude. If it's not enough, I have some more here."
"Are you fucking crazy?!" Li Yu couldn't help but shout, interrupting the Nightmare Beast.
He could feel the veins bulging in his body, and he felt like he was about to explode and die.
The Nightmare Beast trembled in fright at Li Yu's sudden reprimand, and immediately put on a pitiful look like a little widow.
It hung its head, sounding dejected and aggrieved, and said:
"Li Yu, how could you say that to me? I didn't eat a single bite; I gave it all to you."
It looked as if it were the one who had suffered a great injustice.
Li Yu hurriedly shouted, "Then eat now!"
"What?!"
The Nightmare Beast's eyes widened instantly, as if it had heard something unethical and unbelievable:
"Me eat?"
"This is what I excreted, how can I eat it?"
The Nightmare Beast's choice of words made Li Yu feel extremely uncomfortable, but now was not the time to dwell on such things.
Because within his body, countless unabsorbable silvery-white energies surged and flowed like wild horses through Li Yu's veins, and with the continuous accumulation of energy, they were about to transform into venomous snakes.
The Nightmare Beast sensed the white energy flowing from Li Yu's body, and its enormous eyes suddenly revealed an expression of enjoyment, as if it had smelled the most delicious food in the world:
"Li Yu, look how pure this primordial energy is! I'm giving it all to you."
His tone was full of admiration and envy.
"Once you fully absorb it, you will be able to..." The Nightmare Beast paused abruptly.
It could also clearly sense that Li Yu's body seemed to be completely filled with white energy, with energy constantly leaking out, making him look like he was about to explode.
"Think of something quickly!" Li Yu shouted to the Nightmare Beast, his face grim.
The Nightmare Beast remained motionless after hearing this, its sudden silence becoming somewhat unnatural.
The enormous eyes were fixed on Li Yu's spiritual body, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
This was definitely the closest it had ever come to freedom. If it had happened before, it would have immediately attacked Li Yu without hesitation, taking the opportunity to break free from Li Yu's control.
However, Li Yu inherited the dragon vein right before its eyes and became one of the Twelve Star Lords, which made the Nightmare Beast feel somewhat uncertain.
After all, as a star lord, it is absolutely impossible for him to be overwhelmed by such a small amount of white energy.
The Nightmare Beast's gaze secretly swept over Li Yu, and a thought couldn't help but cross its mind:
'Could Li Yu be feigning an attack to lure it into making a move?'
“That’s absolutely right!” The Nightmare Beast’s eyes lit up as it suddenly understood.
This was Li Yu's test, and it almost fell for the trap!
How could a dignified tenth star lord not consume such a small amount of white energy? Even if he really couldn't absorb it, the remaining energy would be more than enough to supply the weapon. Can a person die from holding in their pee?
Upon realizing this, the Nightmare Beast instantly understood, nodding inwardly as if marveling at and proud of its own intelligence:
'Li Yu, Li Yu, this method of testing the loyalty of star envoys is so old-fashioned~, but I still managed to see through it.'
The Nightmare Beast's eyes narrowed: "Trying to trick me? I'm still going to be a Star Envoy!"
At this moment, Li Yu felt as if every cell in his body was burning, and the white energy was like shockwaves rushing towards his heart.
Each surge of energy felt like a heavy hammer, slamming into his heart.
"Li Yu, what's wrong with you!?"
When Fu Xiyao came to her senses and saw Li Yu's pained expression, she immediately rushed over in a panic.
She grabbed Li Yu's reddened arm and examined it closely, and was surprised to see that some kind of white crystals had formed on Li Yu's body.
The crystals covered Li Yu's skin like frost, emitting an eerie white light.
Li Yu felt Fu Xiyao's touch and wanted to say that she was fine, but found that her body could no longer speak.
Seeing that Li Yu was unable to speak, Fu Xiyao became extremely anxious and paced around in circles.
She didn't have time to think too much and immediately thought of the city lord Li Yang, who had just left. Perhaps he could help Li Yu.
Fu Xiyao immediately used all her energy to activate her special ability, attempting to sense the location of City Lord Li Yang through the rain and seek help.
In an instant, the rain over Yangcheng seemed to be drawn, paused for a second, and then fell rapidly again.
"Whoosh—"
