Chapter 98

As the yellow light flickered, a rumble echoed through the earth!

The earth trembled, and the beasts were panic-stricken. Cracks appeared in the ground, and countless ancient trees snapped and tilted!

Throughout the forest, it seemed as if countless earth qi were surging towards the sky, transforming into substantial yellow dragons that danced before the figure in the air!

With the figure's control, the surging earth qi transformed into pure earth-colored radiance, which Wei Wujie inhaled to heal his internal injuries!

Rumble!

As countless earth qi were forcibly extracted and absorbed, the forest instantly sank, forming a massive pit!

The vast pit, a hundred zhang wide, left Jun Wuming and his companions both shocked and angry!

"Cutting off the vitality of the land? Sir, you truly have a cruel heart!"

Jun Wuming glared at the young man in the air, his black robe fluttering, a heavy and solemn aura gathering around him, clearly moved by genuine anger!

"Cutting off? Then take a look at this!"

The young man's face was cold and composed as he stood in the air. A massive earth-colored force formed a huge yellow dragon-like beast behind him, like a ruler of the earth!

He could make clouds with one hand and rain with the other!

He extended his palm, and boundless earth-colored essence energy, like a vast sea, floated in his hand, resembling a sky full of nebulae.

"Come out!"

With a cold snort, the yellow nebulae spread across the sky, covering the entire pit. His palm transformed into a claw, like a giant divine hand pressing down!

Rumble!

The massive pit, struck by the immense force, sank even further, and a large, yellow, glowing object was instantly grabbed from the ground by the giant hand!

"The Earth's Gallbladder?"

Jun Wuming was slightly startled, his expression serious as he looked at the large yellow gallbladder in the young man's hand. This massive yellow gallbladder, known as the Earth's Gallbladder, was formed from the essence of earth over ten thousand years.

This yellow, hazy gallbladder contained a pearl called the Earth's Primordial Pearl. This pearl was an invaluable treasure, a supreme aid for earth attribute cultivators!

"Such a formidable individual!"

Jun Wuming's eyes narrowed, eyeing the young man in the air with caution. The young man's understanding of earth attributes had reached a terrifying level!

He could even sense the treasure a thousand zhang below the ground so easily!

"Brother, I heard that Wei Wujie was born amidst various anomalies, and it is said that he is the reincarnation of a deity of earth!"

"Hand it over!"

Like a being controlling boundless earth qi, he hovered in the air, with boundless earth qi swirling around him, forming a massive earth-colored divine wheel.

A heavy, sacred aura rippled through the air, causing countless ancient trees in the forest to bow as if worshipping the supreme ruler of the earth!

The wind rose and clouds gathered, and countless beasts in the area fled in panic. The divine aura in the air was as heavy as the earth itself!

As if struck by this sacred and awe-inspiring aura, a massive threat emerged, and a mysterious aura began to awaken in Jun Wuming's divine soul!

It was equally noble, ancient, and vast, carrying a timeless and eternal aura!

A wheel of extremely cold black divine light suddenly appeared behind Jun Wuming's head, like a sovereign of the world.

Jun Wuming's figure rose into the air, landing on the misty cloud sea! Boundless cold divine light flowed around him, and within the divine wheel, a massive black river roared and surged!

The surrounding people's faces changed, feeling the two overwhelming auras rising into the sky. They all unfolded their figures and flew several miles away, fearing being caught in the crossfire!

In the vast cloud sea, the auras churned, as if two massive beings had appeared out of nowhere. The rolling cloud sea was split apart, and the two figures soared into the air, standing at opposite ends of the cloud sea, facing each other solemnly!

"Reincarnation of an ice attribute deity?"

Looking at the black-robed young man who seemed like a sovereign of the Ice Age, Wei Wujie's expression changed. He had been preparing to use a powerful technique, but now he hesitated!

Feeling the noble, ancient, and primitive aura, he shook his head!

His soul had transformed into a divine soul, but the core divine essence seemed to be completely gone! Could this be the reincarnation of a being whose divine essence had been stripped away?

"Should I attack? Or not?"

"Never mind, the waters of Lianyun Fort are still too deep! It's better to have more friends than more enemies!"

His eyes flickered, and the young man's heart moved. He slowly retracted the immense aura, the earth-colored radiance glowing on his skin. With a flash of yellow light, he and Wei Wujie disappeared without a trace!

"We are of the same kind! Remember, you owe me, Wei Wujie, an explanation!"

Jun Wuming raised an eyebrow, looking at the place where Wei Wujie had vanished. He nodded, then shook his head!

Feeling the powerful, black, jade-like mana within him, Jun Wuming's face showed a hint of joy. Under the pressure of the divine power from Wei Wujie, his divine soul naturally retaliated, awakening for the first time!

An immensely great and cold power flowed through his meridians from deep within his divine soul, though this power was extremely weak, its essence was extremely powerful.

At this moment, the pure black divine water mana within Jun Wuming's body absorbed this power, transforming into a powerful force that was neither black nor blue!

Although this mana was not as substantial as the earth attribute divine power of Wei Wujie, which posed a great threat to Jun Wuming, its essence was already close!

The powerful blue-black mana flowed like a stream through his meridians, slowly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to enhance Jun Wuming's cultivation.

At the same time, each circulation of this mana gradually strengthened Jun Wuming's divine body, making his physical body more robust and slowly approaching the second level of the divine body!

Slowly reining in his vast, cold aura, Jun Wuming seemed like a deep, cold pool of water, his profound and icy aura making Wei Zhuang feel a sense of reverence!

"Let's go!"

Pressing down the cloud, he patted Wei Zhuang's shoulder, and the two of them shot forward like lightning towards the treasure site!

..

The sword light was like a cloud of waves, surging like a spring tide, with sword qi flying everywhere. "Bang bang," numerous black-red flying ants-like hidden-winged bugs turned to ash and fell into the wetlands.

Wei Zhuang's face was ashen, his body swollen, leaning against a large rock. His entire figure was a mix of yellow and white, as if he had gained weight.

In fact, he had been stung by a black-red ant-like bug, and his entire body was covered in blisters, looking extremely disgusting!

The black robe fluttered, and the aura vibrated. Jun Wuming frowned, standing under a large tree, waving his icy aura to kill the swarm of hidden-winged bugs.

He turned back and a black spiritual light gathered, forming a stream of life-giving water that rained down on the swollen and bulky figure of the yellow-robed young man!

"Aaaaaah!"

Wails of pain, as yellow toxic water oozed out of the blisters, which gradually wrinkled and dried, forming layers of scabs on his skin.

"So terrifying!"

With lingering fear, Wei Zhuang looked at his body, now covered in scabs, with a bitter smile. A bright yellow light flashed, and earth attribute mana shook off the scabs, revealing new, tender skin! He inwardly sighed, thinking how dangerous it was, never expecting such a small bug to have such potent toxicity!

Seeing that Wei Zhuang had mostly expelled the toxins, Jun Wuming nodded. This kid was too mischievous, wandering around and poking into caves, accidentally digging up a nest of venomous bugs. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or he would have been torn apart by the hidden-winged bugs' toxicity.

He really didn't know how this guy could still be alive, with such a huge curiosity!

After this lesson, Wei Zhuang became much more obedient. The two of them sped forward, and after several hours, they arrived at a hidden cave deep in the mountains!

Wei Zhuang pushed aside the thick vines at the cave entrance and entered first.

Jun Wuming followed closely behind. Although it was daytime, the cave was dark and cold. However, both of them were protected by their mana, so the cold was not a concern. As they moved forward, the deeper they went, the brighter it became.

Jun Wuming released his powerful mental force to scan the surroundings. The ancient cave was lined with thick green stone walls. Although the cave was wide enough for dozens of people to walk side by side, it was somewhat low.

Throughout the cave, there were numerous beast tracks, indicating that this place was frequently traversed by fierce beasts.

Familiar with the route, Wei Zhuang transformed into a yellow light and shot forward at lightning speed. Jun Wuming, however, did not lag behind, taking large strides that covered dozens of zhang with each step, always staying behind Wei Zhuang no matter how fast he accelerated.

His heart trembled, and Wei Zhuang felt a chill. Although he had already witnessed Jun Wuming's power in the clouds, experiencing it firsthand was a different matter!

"Is the gap in talent really that great?"

Wei Zhuang felt somewhat depressed. At the same age and with the same treatment, his strength was worlds apart from Jun Wuming and the others!

Feeling bitter, Wei Zhuang then thought, wasn't he precisely seeking to rely on such cultivators?

With formidable talent and astonishing fortune!

His heart stirred, and Wei Zhuang felt a growing sense of anticipation.

The two of them sped forward, following the cave deeper. Gradually, a series of white lights appeared in Jun Wuming's mental vision.
