The Nightmare Beast blinked and made a request to Li Yu:
"Li Yu...that fog...is incredibly nourishing!"
As the Nightmare Beast spoke, the eyes on its bow kept giving Li Yu meaningful glances.
It looked just like a greedy child begging for candy from an adult; the Nightmare Beast was quite convincing in its act.
Looking at the vast expanse of white mist before him, Li Yu knew perfectly well what the Nightmare Beast was up to.
In any case, this special white mist star lord cannot use it, and it will dissipate quickly, so it must be given to the nightmare beast.
The Nightmare Beast could have started absorbing the white mist directly, but it still specifically asked for his opinion. Li Yu was amused by the Nightmare Beast's peculiar thought process.
However, this also means that the Nightmare Beast is willing to lower its status and genuinely follow him, which is a rare change.
“Go ahead.” Li Yu nodded.
The moment permission was granted, a huge, pitch-black vortex suddenly rose from the Phoenix Bow!
The black vortex seemed to possess endless suction, and the wandering spirits in the air let out miserable howls as they were swallowed up.
The next second, the black eyes on the bow suddenly contracted, and the large amount of white mist that should have dissipated with the wind suddenly flowed backward, all of it was swept over and drilled into its pupils hidden in the flames like living things.
The Nightmare Beast frantically absorbed the white mist, its eyes still showing an impatient look, as if it could never get enough to eat.
The Nightmare Beast was overjoyed, and it remembered the aura of the Netherworld very clearly as well.
It can be said that the white mist emanating from Mingyuan is the purest ghost energy it has ever absorbed in its life, bar none.
After absorbing it last time, it thought that would be the last time, but it never expected to encounter it again.
With each wisp of white mist inhaled by the black eyes, the Nightmare Beast in Li Yu's mental sea would swell a little.
As all the white mist was absorbed, the Nightmare Beast narrowed its eyes and finally revealed an extremely satisfied look before it began to decompose and transform the powerful white mist energy.
Even the Nightmare Beasts that tasted the Netherworld Mist couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"So innocent!"
A moment later, after completely transforming the white mist, the Nightmare Beast continued to exert its power as before, feeding back half of the transformed energy to Li Yu.
Solidified energy surged into Li Yu's spiritual sea like a tidal wave.
However, this time, not all the energy was absorbed by Li Yu. The wave-like energy was constantly intercepted, and much of it was snatched away by the pupa floating in Li Yu's mental sea.
The Nightmare Beast glared at the cicada pupa, which resembled a giant egg, and roared angrily:
"Fool, this isn't for you!"
But the cicada pupa paid no heed to the Nightmare Beast's obstruction, continuing to frantically seize energy, like a hungry baby greedily suckling at its mother's milk.
Seeing that Li Yu didn't say anything about the infant spirit's actions, the Nightmare Beast wisely stopped interfering.
The Nightmare Beast sighed inwardly:
The infant spirit is truly lucky to have such a generous master as Li Yu, who is willing to give even such rare primordial power to it!
Even though most of the energy converted by the Nightmare Beast was absorbed by the pupa, Li Yu still received a considerable amount of feedback energy.
Besides some energy flowing into the cyclone, much more energy accumulated again in the muscles and bones, causing the body's muscles to surge and strengthen once more.
The subtle changes in Li Yu's body naturally caught Lu Fan's attention.
“After the white mist dissipated, Li Yu’s energy fluctuations actually increased.” Lu Fan didn’t even need to analyze; he could tell at a glance that Li Yu had definitely benefited from it.
"No wonder." Lu Fan instantly understood why Li Yu's body was so strong.
Lu Fan himself had also tried to absorb external energy, but if things continued like this, the energy accumulated in Li Yu's body would only increase, and he feared that in the end, her body would become as strong as a strange beast, beyond imagination.
With Li Yu's extreme restraint, all this energy was used to strengthen his body. Now his physical strength has increased several times over, making him no less capable than those professional defensive awakeners.
Li Yu clenched her fist gently, feeling the steel-like strength of her body, and finally felt much more at ease.
"It seems about right," Li Yu murmured to herself.
Having improved one's physical abilities to this extent, one should no longer be afraid of being ambushed at close range.
Previously, Li Yu only converted excess energy into experience after his body had accumulated to its full capacity.
Now that it seems he no longer needs to worry about his physical strength, he can finally focus on leveling up again.
Li Yu completely unleashed the cyclone's rotation, beginning to convert the immense energy into experience points.
Upgrade successful
【Food Storage Jar LV16: Created through supernatural enhancement, a storage container with balanced attributes and a capacity of +160】
Li Yu nodded silently. The effect was indeed remarkable. With the current conversion efficiency of the cyclone, upgrading would probably be as easy as drinking water.
Watching Li Yu's series of strange actions, Lu Fan suddenly realized that this might be the secret to Li Yu's rapid improvement in strength.
However, Lu Fan did not mention this matter, but he was extremely curious about it.
Lu Fan raised his hand, staring blankly at the pink energy gathering in his palm.
Isn't this the kind of ability that only a twelfth star lord like him should possess?
On the contrary, Li Yu seems more like the Twelfth Chaos Star Lord who can devour everything.
However, the appearance of Mingyuan and Baigu this time made Lu Fan fully understand just how powerful Xingjun's opponent was.
Judging from the conversation between Mingyuan and Li Yu just now, these enemies already existed in the era of the previous generation of Star Lords.
From this perspective, being a ninth-tier awakener is definitely not the end of power.
These formidable enemies seem to harbor secrets of resurrection.
A light drizzle fell like silk threads.
Seeing that the battle was over, Xiao Hei, who was in the distance, immediately ran back and jumped around in front of Li Yu, seemingly cheering for Li Yu's victory.
Then Xiao Hei kept opening its mouth wide and sticking out its tongue, as if it was expecting something.
"You didn't even participate in the battle, yet you're claiming credit?" Li Yu smiled and tossed a beast core to Xiao Hei, who swallowed it whole, wagging its tail contentedly and letting out a series of hisses.
Seeing that Xiao Hei ate the crystal core without any adverse reaction, Lu Fan couldn't help but admire it. Like master, like animal.
Li Yu mounted his horse and set off again with Lu Fan, continuing their journey towards Tiancheng.
The boundaries were blurred by the continuous rain.
Two streams of electricity darted through the torrential rain, leaving faint trails of light behind them.
As the two gradually entered Tiancheng's jurisdiction, more and more law enforcement patrol teams came into view.
The law enforcement team is patrolling along the border; it seems the area is very safe.
Awakened individuals continued to appear ahead, and the number of those from the Thunder Bureau had also increased significantly.
Noticing the powerful aura emanating from Li Yu and Lu Fan, the Awakened Ones all chose to give way.
Even the patrolling law enforcement team dared not approach the two for questioning, for fear of offending them in the slightest.
