Chapter 1335 Tempering in Golden Celestial Treeʼs Liquid(2)

As Yuan absorbed more and more of the liquid, he sensed his cultivation reaching its utmost limit. However, just as it seemed poised to break through, it encountered an abrupt halt, as if something were obstructing its progress.

The notifications continued spamming for several minutes until it became silent, almost as if it knew that it was doing something pointless.

However, while Yuan couldnʼt break past Spirit King, since he was continuously absorbing the Golden Celestial Treeʼs liquid, all of the spiritual energy he absorbed had to go somewhere.

Within Yuanʼs Dantian, there was a ceaseless attempt to break through and expand, akin to a human futilely trying to kick down an indestructible or unopenable door. When the Dantian failed to achieve a breakthrough, all the accumulated spiritual energy would be expelled from it, redirecting to further temper Yuanʼs body.

In a weird twist of fate, his inability to achieve a breakthrough was quite the fortuitous event for his current situation, enabling him to expedite the tempering of his body more rapidly than if he were simultaneously enhancing both his cultivation and physique.

ʼWhat a terrifying rate of progression! Heʼs definitely not human!ʼ Princess Meiya swallowed nervously, witnessing Yuanʼs physique undergo a staggering transformation.

At the rate Yuan was absorbing the Golden Celestial Treeʼs liquid, he would, without doubt, finish absorbing all of its power within the two-day limit.

ʼHis body isnʼt just a bottomless pit—itʼs a limitless black hole that devours anything it touches!ʼ

Twenty-four hours passed in the blink of an eye. Out of curiosity and boredom, Huang Xiao Li went to watch Yuan temper his body with Princess Meiya, who had been staring at Yuan without blinking even once throughout this entire time.

”Howʼs it going?” Huang Xiao Li asked Princess Meiya.

However, there was no response from Princess Meiya.

Huang Xiao Li turned to look at her.

”A-Are you okay?” Huang Xiao Li was startled when she saw Princess Meiyaʼs expression, who looked like she was being haunted by a ghost.

Princess Meiya eventually snapped out of her daze to wipe the sweat forming on her forehead.

”Heʼs truly a monster. Itʼs only been 24 hours, and heʼs already absorbed 75 percent of the treasure,” she said.

”What?! I thought you said…”

”I know what I said, but to be frank, heʼs not human. Iʼve never witnessed any human, giant, beast, or entity for that matter, possess such monstrous talents,” admitted Princess Meiya.

”I knew he was special, but I didnʼt expect for it to be to such a degree.”

”Do you think heʼll defeat his next opponent?” Huang Xiao Li asked.

”I donʼt know what will happen.” Princess Meiya shook her head.

”Eh? Even after giving him such praises?”

”Iʼm not saying that he will lose. I simply donʼt know what to expect, as this is my first time seeing someone temper their body using so much Golden Celestial Treeʼs liquid.”

Just as Princess Meiya finished her sentence, something inexplicable occurred before them. Inside the cauldron, Yuanʼs body, which had been emanating a shimmering golden light, suddenly intensified.

The light became so bright that it overwhelmed the lights in the room and nearly covered the entire room, almost as if the sun had appeared in the room.

”Wha—?! What is going on?!” Huang Xiao Li exclaimed as she covered her eyes.

Then, just as swiftly as the light intensified, it vanished.

Upon regaining visibility, the two ladies quickly observed Yuanʼs condition.

”What in heavenʼs name…?” Huang Xiao Li subconsciously muttered in a puzzled voice after seeing Yuan, who seemed to be adorned in a semi-transparent golden armor that hadnʼt been present before.

The golden armor encased Yuanʼs body seamlessly, devoid of any excess space, almost as though it were an integral part of his skin.

”Do you know whatʼs happening?” Huang Xiao Li turned to Princess Meiya for answers.

Meanwhile, Princess Meiya had a look of disbelief on her face.

After a moment of silence, without providing any further explanation, Princess Meiya turned around, soared toward the door, and swiftly exited the room.

Her puzzling actions left Huang Xiao Li speechless.

She turned to look at Yuan again and muttered in a bittersweet voice, ”What did you do this time, Yuan?”

Meanwhile, after leaving the room, Princess Meiya made her way to the treasure room, where her family stored all of its valuable treasures.

This room wasnʼt accessible by anyone other than the Giant Emperor Kulas himself, so when Princess Meiya showed up, she was quickly blocked by the guards there.

”Princess?! What are you doing here?”

”Get out of my way!”

Without giving any explanation, Princess Meiya smacked one of the guards, sending him flying.

”Princess?!”

The other guards were shocked by her sudden aggression and didnʼt know how to react.

When Princess Meiya tried to enter the treasure room, the guards snapped out of their daze and tried to stop her.

”What do you think you are doing, Princess?! Only His Majesty is allowed to enter the Royal Treasury! You know this!”

”Shut up! This is an emergency!” Princess Meiya shouted, followed by slapping another guard.

”C-Call His Majesty!”

The guards didnʼt dare to attack Princess Meiya or use too much force against her since she was Giant Emperor Kulasʼ favorite child, so they could only block her with their bodies and call for help.

”Your Majesty! Thereʼs been an emergency! Princess Meiya suddenly showed up at the Royal Treasury with the intent of entering! When the guards tried to stop her, she attacked them!” A guard relayed this news to Giant Emperor Kulas, who was in the middle of something.

Giant Emperor Kulas frowned upon hearing this news and sighed inwardly, ʼWhat is that little brat doing?ʼ

He stood up and said a moment later, ”I understand. I will take a look for myself what sheʼs up to.”
