“Nine Emperors, this man, and these bodies… I’ll leave them in your care now.”
Gu Ruoyun’s voice caused the Wen family guard to shake. He raised his head in astonishment and stared at Gu Ruoyun’s back in confusion.
He looked as if he did not know what this woman was talking about.
However, he soon understood the meaning behind Gu Ruoyun’s words.
The great sword, which had been standing erect behind Gu Ruoyun, released a blood red light. A hand then reached out from within the blade and grabbed onto the Wen family guard’s body tightly before starting to pull him into the blade.
“No!”
The Wen family guard’s eyes widened in panic as he let out a piercing scream that rang throughout the entire mountain range. In the end, he was swallowed whole by the sword.
If anyone had been here, they would be able to see nine dragons spirits slithering within the sword as they opened their large, bloodthirsty mouths and consumed the Wen family guard who had been dragged into the blade! Of course, the bodies on the ground were not spared either. At this moment, the Nine Emperors looked as if they were enjoying a delicious meal.
Each time the Nine Emperors swallowed a cultivator’s body, their powers would increase exponentially. It would then absorb the purest parts of the energy and send the impurities into Gu Ruoyun’s body! Even if the Nine Emperors does not need this power, this also gave Gu Ruoyun’s power a substantial increase as the energy has been tempered by the Nine Emperors!
Of course, these powers could not push Gu Ruoyun into a breakthrough but it did help to increase the spiritual energy in Gu Ruoyun’s body by a great deal!
She only needs a bit more power before she would successfully receive a promotion!
“Phew.” After Gu Ruoyun had absorbed the energy, she slowly opened her eyes and exhaled. “The people sent by the Wen family were no small fishes this time. They had allowed me to reach the peak of the late-stage in the exceptional state. That’s leaves only one more step before I break through to the refined state! Besides, I feel as if I can now slowly control the Nine Emperors!”
After all, the Nine Emperors has a mind of its own and would not necessarily appear when Gu Ruoyun wills it! That had largely depended on its mood!
However, at the end of this battle, Gu Ruoyun felt as if her connection with the Nine Emperors has deepened.
She fell momentarily silent at the thought of this before saying, “I remember that the Nine Emperors had absorbed quite a bit of energy during the last fight. It then sent a bit of impure energy into my body. From that moment on, I could sense its presence on a deeper level. However, I still had no way of controlling it. Now, due to this battle, I’ve developed an even deeper connection with it. Does this mean that I will only be able to control the Nine Emperors completely after fighting alongside it many times?”
Gu Ruoyun shook her head and sighed exasperatedly.
“It’s unfortunate that I can’t use the Nine Emperors whenever I wish. First of all, its presence cannot be exposed. I had allowed it to appear this time because there wasn’t anyone else around. However, I can never allow it to be revealed in public to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to myself. Besides, even after reaching a situation like this one, if the Nine Emperors had refused to fight for me, I cannot forcefully summon it to me.”
Hence, it might not be that easy to reach the stage when she can control the Nine Emperors completely.
However, under these circumstances, the Nine Emperors had been able to release such a powerful energy. If she could completely control it, how great would its power be?
“Forget it, we’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Whatever it is, the most important thing now is to go to the Dark Earth Realm and find Xiao Ye.” Gu Ruoyun returned to her senses and mused, “Zixie, are you certain that the other path to the Dark Earth Realm is over there?”
