Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2157: Fighting for love (4)

The Ocean King Crown was still partially sealed, so it was understandable that Ye Zhongming wanted to use it for an attempt. Moreover, the substantial help the Ocean King Crown brought to Ye Zhongming was far less obvious than that of the Mountain King Crown. Even if it failed and the Ocean King Crown was destroyed, Ye Zhongming would have found it easier to accept.

So when that energy, which had taken Ye Zhongming tremendous effort to purify, appeared, his mood was one of joy.

Feeling this energy, Ye Zhongming knew that even if he did not succeed in the end, he had still found a way to improve his own strength.

If all the energy within his body was purified, then his strength would naturally increase as well.

He really had not been prepared at all for the appearance of the Earth Spirit and the Star Spirit. Those two little fellows were usually very obedient.

But now, they acted like two greedy children, rushing over and eating that first strand of energy.

Ye Zhongming was first stunned, then felt somewhat helpless.

If the two little fellows insisted on disobeying him, there was really nothing he could do about it.

Of course, this did not mean they would harm Ye Zhongming; at most, he would just be unable to command them anymore.

Compared to the potential ʼdisobedience,ʼ Ye Zhongming was actually more concerned about whether the two little fellows were in any danger.
Although this strand of energy looked very small, its purity was extremely high, and the two little fellows might not be able to withstand it.

This was just like someone who usually drank cold boiled water suddenly going to drink sixty-proof liquor. It was not just a matter of adaptation, but a question of whether it would harm their bodies.

The energy disappeared inside the two elemental spirits. They were somewhat quiet at first, but then immediately entered an excited state, and even... jumped out of Ye Zhongmingʼs body.

This startled White Robe and Jie Su directly!

At the same time, the shock in their hearts was indescribable!

They did not know what this was, but that did not stop them from having guesses about it.

Because among all the ten thousand races in the universe, there circulated a legend, the truth of which was unknown, that when a life reached the realm of a peak expert, if they could continue to advance, then at some point, it was very possible that they could condense their own power into a source element of the same attribute.

That was a very magical kind of life.

Creating life, in the eyes of many lives, was a miracle.

The two translucent humanoid beings that had flown out from above Ye Zhongmingʼs head, no matter how one looked at them, seemed to be the original forms of elements!

Ye Zhongming was certainly not a peak expert; he was not even a great expert. So why did he have such things?!

Was this the ultimate secret of this guy?

The thoughts of the two were very complicated. It was not jealousy or anything like that, but rather a kind of ignorance, a kind of incomprehension, a kind of... unfamiliarity.

They admitted that Ye Zhongming was extremely talented, and they even felt he was no less so than themselves. But now, their feelings had completely changed. They knew that their understanding of this good friend was far, far too little.

The two little spirits danced excitedly in the air. At this moment, perhaps they themselves did not notice, but their bodies were gradually growing larger and becoming much more solid.

This made Jie Su and White Robe regard them as if they were deities.

There was no helping it; the two little fellows were not well-behaved. One moment they would add a piece of armor to the outside of White Robeʼs body, the next, they would hit him with a gravity field of who knew how many times greater. One moment they would create a patch of light above Jie Suʼs head, the next they would cause him to sink into a pile of light sand...

The two were not unable to respond, but it was obvious that the two little fellows belonged to Ye Zhongming and had no malicious intent. If they overreacted and provoked hostility, that would be bad, so they could only allow themselves to be toyed with.

After quite a while, the two little fellows quieted down somewhat and sat on Ye Zhongmingʼs two shoulders, one on each side, like little adults closing their eyes in contemplation.

The effects that had been added on White Robe and Jie Su naturally disappeared as well.

After a long moment, the light on Ye Zhongmingʼs body blazed brightly once more. The two little fellows remained outside his body, not disappearing. Their little hands continuously waved around them, and the scattered light entered their bodies.

Both Jie Su and White Robe could feel that the energy Ye Zhongming emitted outside his body was somewhat ʼflashy but insubstantial,ʼ as if something was missing inside it. In their words, this energy was ʼwaste energy.ʼ

These two elemental spirits were absorbing the waste energy. What were they doing?

Soon, the two knew what they were doing.

As the energy continuously entered their bodies, the two little fellowsʼ bellies grew larger and larger. After reaching a certain point, they opened their small mouths and spat out two small, exquisite, beautiful tablets.

Jie Su and White Robe looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked up the two tablets, which seemed to be made of some unknown material.

One tablet was black, and the other was blue.

On the black tablet, there were some parallel lines. On the blue tablet, small silver dots were distributed.

When they held them in their hands, both could feel the surging yet restrained power within them.

What... were these?

………………

Inside Ye Zhongmingʼs body at this moment, brand-new, pure energy was extracted. This time, the amount of energy was greater than before.

Because after the two little fellows had eaten that previous strand of energy, not only were they fine, but they had also made huge progress, proving the safety of this type of energy.

How much the two little fellows had grown specifically would need to be seen later. For now, Ye Zhongming wanted to upgrade the Sovereign equipment.

He chose the Mountain King Crown.

Since the safety of this energy had been proven, the target of the upgrade would naturally be the Mountain King Crown, which provided a greater boost to combat effectiveness, rather than the previously anticipated Ocean King Crown.

Previously, the Mountain King Crown had already unsealed five abilities. Ye Zhongming sank this strand of energy into it to see if he could unseal another one!

When the incomparably exquisite Mountain King Crown encountered this strand of energy, it first showed some rejection, but before Ye Zhongming could begin to feel disappointed, it immediately began to accept it. The crown rotated slowly, wrapping the energy around its body in circles, and then this energy slowly disappeared inside the crown.

Ye Zhongming waited quietly to see what changes this energy would bring to the Mountain King Crown.

However, after waiting for a while, the Mountain King Crown showed no change. This kind of pure power naturally did not have any issue of an ʼabsorption process,ʼ so there was only one explanation: the energy was insufficient.

Ye Zhongming hesitated.

Although so far he had only purified two strands of energy, this was the purest energy, obtained by purifying a massive amount of ordinary energy. Even though there were only two strands, one large and one small, they had already consumed more than half of the energy within Ye Zhongmingʼs body!

And what kind of situation was he about to face? An assassination concerning life itself!

What if he used up all the energy?

Here came the problem, the difficult problem laid before Ye Zhongming... Should he continue to purify energy to unseal the Mountain King Crown?!
