Chapter 837: Invincible! (I)
The ranking quickly disseminated in all directions and raised a hubbub of discussion. Seven elements... and three seven element Arcanus at that! All sides were stunned and nervous. How had they done it? Had they all broken through inside the ruins?
But there was no point in doing so unless they wished to stay within the ruins for the rest of their lives or emerge only after the second awakening. That would make for one less heavyweight in residence at their faction.
Were there other methods that they could call on?
The world was also stunned at Li Hao being peak six elements, but he wasn’t worth mentioning compared to the three seven elements.
As for the veracity of the ranking... some people felt that it was real because the ranking’s estimation of their strength was accurate.
“Which side does the Wind and Cloud Pavilion stand on? So they’re not targeting Li Hao, but Red Moon, the nine ministries, and the royal family?” No one could make any sense of it.
......
The Arcanus Ranking was hotly discussed on all sides, but it had nothing to do with Li Hao and the rest. Having tossed out the ranking, the young man didn’t care whether Wu was captured or killed as a result. The supernatural character that he’d planted in the man’s head had long dispersed.
They were so far removed from each other that he didn’t have the ability to continue manipulating the character. It had faded away a long time ago, but the young man wasn’t sure if the other was aware of that fact.
His goal with the ranking was very simple. Would anyone believe any further rankings that the Wind and Cloud Pavilion published? They would have to wait until next month to publish their next edition, but it was already an unknown if they would survive until then.
......
Within the ruins.
The group stopped cultivating after an indeterminate period of time. The enormous tree trunk was slightly withered as the pool of five thousand drops of Water of Life was... dry!
Indeed, the tree trunk was empty.
The group stared dumbly at the dry internals. Some looked at Li Hao, some looked at the little tree. Others exchanged glances among themselves. ...someone had stolen the Water of Life and hidden it, hadn’t they?? That was five thousand drops, not five hundred! None of them had the ability to absorb so much Water of Life at once.
Li Hao was lying on the ground, like his soul had departed his body. If anyone could see supernatural locks, they would see that a mass of locks had floated upward on his body. They were tiny, like ants, and those with trypophobia would find their scalps crawling.
The young man’s scalp crawled with numbness as well! He’d absorbed almost five thousand drops by himself—and that wasn’t even the problem. Although the consumption rate was terrifying, the key was that his strength had barely improved. The ants had absorbed almost all of the resource to give rise to so many supernatural locks.
However, they were yet to discover the secondary dimension like Li Hao had. They couldn’t fully conceal one of their elements. Thus, not only did they have to worry about being churned to pieces by the void, but they also had to consider if their own bodies could endure such an eruption of power.
There were many six elements on the scene. Yao Si flicked a side glance at Earthturner Sword and his brethren. Those guys were likely all six elements, perhaps even peak six elements. Just like him, they didn’t dare set foot into seven elements.
Even less needed to be said about old fart Chen Zhongtian. That fellow could utilize six elements under normal conditions. He had easily set foot into peak six elements.
There was one person who Yao Si could not see through—Zhou Chuan. This was a powerhouse who walked the path of the ancient martial dao. Though he’d lacked core origin strength before, he was on par with peak six elements. Had he improved again after absorbing significant indestructible material?
One wasn’t necessarily weak just because they only walked the path of the golden body. What if he was able to break his limits?
Finally, Yao Si’s gaze rested on Panther. No one talked about the dog, but they were all immensely stunned by it. The projection of the Monster Spirit Envoy that’d gathered out of its blood was truly terrifying. It had erupted with the strength of an Apex inside the ruins!
The coconut tree had almost been struck down with one bolt of lightning. It was plain to see that the dog had supped at the table of countless treasures, and that its diet had been put to good use. Yao Si was highly envious—spending one’s life eating and drinking. The dog lived a good life, alright!
Yao Si then looked at Northern Fist and his companions; they showed marked improvement as well. Under normal circumstances, they would be five or six elements. There were very few four elements left in the group—He Yong and Yu Luocha counted among their weaker members. Light Sword was stronger than both of them, so she should be a fifth element Arcanus as well.
Yao Si inwardly sighed with emotion. It’d only been half a year since he decided to follow Li Hao. The Arcanus level had just appeared then, but an entire group of cultivators had set foot in it in the blink of an eye.
This kind of change was very unexpected, but also fostered incredible competition! The heavyweights of the nine ministries and other factions were forced into swift improvement as well. Perhaps they’d all emptied their family vaults, which rather benefited the plant spirits.
The plant spirits of the various organizations must have benefited greatly in recent days. Everyone had advanced at a prudent rate before—there was no need to drain the pond to catch all the fish in the waters. There was a limit to their improvement before the second awakening arrived. It was sufficient to set foot into six element Arcanus before then.
But now, everyone bristled with competition!
“This can’t be allowed to continue!” Li Hao suddenly interrupted Yao Si’s line of thought. The group blinked at him. What?
“We must study how to strengthen the body, and not just through Water of Life or indestructible matter.” Li Hao frowned. “There must be a cultivation method, a unique method that is comprehensive and swiftly develops the physical body!”
They were faced with these straits as a seven element Arcanus. What about when they reached eight or nine? Were they to continue killing plant spirits? But there were limited numbers of plant spirits as well, humans couldn’t just hunt them to extinction! That wouldn’t be enough for their use in any case!
Those of the group looked at each other before He Yong said in a muffled voice, “Then we need to get your master back here!”
“Who the hell knows where he’s gone!” Li Hao's head ached at the task. “He doesn’t respond to any of my messages, so he’s probably thrown the transmission pendant away. He didn’t come back for the Skystar Commander Office inauguration ceremony, so he’s probably entered a ruin!”
