The yin devil wind was not a simple eye of a storm. It was a type of unique wind power stained with thick devilish energy, a similar level of existence as the devil flame seed. The yin devil wind was incorporeal, existing in the form of a field of air. The devilish energy was why this yin devil wind had remained for so long. An ordinary eye of a storm would form easily but would also disperse easily.
Xiang Shaoyun thought that he would be able to easily get the yin devil wind after fully mastering the moving like the wind stage. But as soon as he approached the yin devil wind, he lost his balance, and the wind dragged him about. Although he had grasped the flow of wind in the storm, that was not the case for the immediate area around the yin devil wind.
“Ahhhh!”
When Xiang Shaoyun was dragged nearer to the yin devil wind, a storm of devil baleful wind appeared and started corroding his body. He felt like his body was going to be ripped apart. The sovereign armor he wore was already a broken one, and under the assault of the devil wind, the cracks on the armor started widening. A large amount of devilish energy intruded into his body and started corroding his inner organs.
Fortunately, he had the ability to absorb the devilish energy thanks to his bloodline. That protected him from the corrosive nature of the devilish energy, but the baleful wind energy that had also intruded into his body was wreaking havoc, damaging his meridians and organs.
“Refine!” In a moment of desperation, Xiang Shaoyun roared and circulated his cultivation method rapidly, forcefully channeling the baleful wind energy into his wind star. Unfortunately, the amount of baleful wind energy kept increasing, and it was reaching a point beyond his endurance.
To add salt to the wound, the revolving force around the yin devil wind was dreadfully fast. Not even a top Emperor could easily survive the revolving force. Most of them would probably be ripped apart the moment they entered.
Even after mastering the moving like the wind stage, Xiang Shaoyun was still completely helpless here. He started feeling lightheaded, and he was finding it hard to maintain a stable footing.
Crack!
Xiang Shaoyun’s armor was also failing to endure the wind’s assault, and more cracks started appearing in it.
Money could sense Xiang Shaoyun’s current condition, and he quickly suggested, “Boss, use the silver lightning core to summon lightning bolts!”
Xiang Shaoyun couldn’t think of anything else, and thus he did as told. He took the silver lightning core out. At the same time, he also fully activated the lightning bone and the lightning star in his body.
Rumble! Rumble!
The power of lightning surged in his body, and at the same time, tens of silver lightning bolts rained down in his direction. The lightning bolts were thick and massive, comparable to the attack of an Emperor, a power rarely seen in lightning bolts.
The rain of lightning forcefully scattered the power of wind around Xiang Shaoyun. Even the yin devil wind was slightly affected, and the revolving force around it slowed down. During this moment, Money shouted, “Boss, quickly refine the yin devil wind! Otherwise, both of us will die here!”
“What? Refine the yin devil wind?” Xiang Shaoyun was alarmed. He had never thought of refining the yin devil wind himself, as his intention was to get it for Yu Caidie and become the Yu Clan’s son-in-law.
During the short moment he spent in hesitation, the yin devil wind started surging in power again. With this surge, the power around it became even scarier than before, as if this was its answer to the silver lightning bolts that had attacked it. This was quite a wondrous phenomenon, a clash of wind and lightning.
The unlucky Ruo Suifeng was also blasted by some of the silver lightning bolts, and he was sent flying out of the storm. He looked like he was going to die at any moment. As for Xiang Shaoyun, with his sovereign armor destroyed, he would not be able to survive even with the protection of the silver lightning core if he delayed any longer.
“Screw it! Nothing is more important than staying alive!” Xiang Shaoyun was not one to hesitate for long. Although he considered Yu Caidie a woman he was going to pursue and he wanted to give her the yin devil wind, he wouldn’t be able to dead.
After making up his mind, Xiang Shaoyun started circulating the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, activating the nine stars within him with an emphasis on the wind star as he sent his astral energy toward the yin devil wind. At the same time, astral energy started swirling about in the sky above, forming a connection with Xiang Shaoyun that greatly increased his energy absorption speed.
The yin devil wind was within reach, but it was still not possible to instantly absorb it. After all, this was something that had been formed by nature. It was protected by a unique air field and was not something that could be so easily absorbed. A large amount of baleful wind energy poured into Xiang Shaoyun’s body as he erupted with an absorptive force, the corrosive nature of the wind causing him great pain. He nearly fainted, feeling like death was getting nearer and nearer.
“I can’t die! What can some baleful wind do to me? Refine!” The pain provoked an indomitable will from Xiang Shaoyun, fully activating his potential as the holder of a nine-star physique. Beyond the nine skies, nine particular stars started stirring. The sky itself seemed to shake as the nine stars unleashed a massive absorption force akin to nine black holes.
Activate the nine stars, shaking the sky.
This was what made a nine-star physique so powerful. The silver lightning core was the nearest object to Xiang Shaoyun. It was directly pulled into his body and straight into his lightning star by the absorptive force he was releasing.
Rumble! Rumble!
After absorbing the silver lightning core, 99 silver lightning bolts instantly formed and rained down on Xiang Shaoyun. This was an extremely terrifying attack that was no weaker than the storm he was facing. In fact, these lightning bolts were much more powerful than the storm.
The numerous devil wind beasts around the storm were so scared they started trembling. They no longer dared to approach the storm. Rather, they started retreating, worried that they would be struck by the dreadful lightning bolts.
The geniuses were also able to sense what was happening from far away, and when they saw the rain of silver lightning bolts, they all exclaimed in alarm, “Is Xiang Shaoyun still alive?”
They still remembered that Xiang Shaoyun was the summoner of silver lightning bolts. With so many of such lightning bolts appearing here, the only person they could think of that was capable of doing so was Xiang Shaoyun.
“No, that is not possible! I am going over there personally to take a look!” Di Tong cried out with an unsightly expression and rushed toward the place where the lightning rain was falling. The last thing he wanted to see was Xiang Shaoyun remaining alive and obtaining the yin devil wind. If Xiang Shaoyun succeeded, the entire Di Clan would be plunged into danger.
Yu Caidie had also rushed over with her injured body. When she saw what was happening, a joyful smile appeared on her face, and she muttered, “I knew you wouldn’t die so easily!”
