Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

Within the flowing universe.

Half a month has passed since Lin Yan broke through to the next realm. The time flow rate inside the Sword King Tower is 50,000 times faster, which is equivalent to more than 2,000 years.

Over the course of more than two thousand years, Lin Yan first broke through to the sixth level of the Dou Ling realm. After stabilizing his realm, he refined a large amount of immortal jade and resources, and broke through to the peak of the sixth level of the Dou Ling realm.

"Breaking through to the Douling Realm really takes a long time. Fortunately, the Sword King Tower has advanced. Otherwise, it would have taken more than two thousand years to break through a small realm. How many things would have been delayed!"

Lin Yan thought to himself.

"It's because your realm is too solid. The difficulty of breaking through each realm is hundreds of times that of others. Normally, you wouldn't need so many resources or such a long time to break through."

The Dragon Emperor Sword Spirit landed beside Lin Yan.

Ordinary people in the Yuanhai Realm don't need as long to break through as Lin Yan. For example, the Void Sect Master and others can break through quickly as long as they have resources. Why would they need thousands of years to stabilize their realm?

The reason Lin Yan spent so much time was that he polished almost every detail to perfection.

Only a genius like Lin Yan would be so serious.

Of course, there are also those who took longer than Lin Yan to break through.

Some people go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands of years, because they are not confident in achieving a breakthrough and need to repeatedly try to feel the threshold of that breakthrough.

This is why many cultivators can't advance any further after reaching a certain level, because it's too difficult. A single seclusion can last for tens of thousands of years, which is something not everyone can endure!

Some people can't endure it, and their lives are set in stone.

Only by enduring and persevering through each and every step can one barely manage to climb up one level at a time.

"It's getting late, we should head out."

Lin Yan emerged from seclusion.

During this period, the Bloodthirsty Sky Ants and others have also seen a surge in strength.

First, there was the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant. It not only repaired the Heavenly Blood Armor with the help of the Blazing Divine Copper, but also, with the power of the tree's blood as the Myriad Blood Dragon Tree reached the ninth level, its bloodline underwent another transformation.

In terms of strength, the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant is roughly equivalent to a human at the third level of the Yuanhai Realm.

Spring and Autumn Cicadas and others have also broken through, although their breakthroughs are not as significant as those of the Bloodthirsty Sky Ants, and there is still a gap in the lineage of divine insects.

The Bloodthirsty Sky Ants hold a position in the Divine Insect Clan roughly equivalent to that of the Dragon Clan in the Demon Clan; in every aspect, they are incomparable to ordinary Divine Insect Clan members.

"Congratulations, Ao Qing. At this rate, it won't be long before you reach a level comparable to the mid-stage of the Ocean Realm."

Lin Yan offered his congratulations.

Aoqing is the real name of the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant; its full name is Xue Aoqing.

"It won't be that fast. My bloodline is only at the gold grade level. After breaking through to the Yuanhai Realm, the breakthrough speed will slow down unless the bloodline origin evolves... By the way, Lin Yan, when can we start refining the high-grade evolution fluid that you mentioned last time? As long as I have your high-grade evolution fluid, I'll have no problem breaking through to the mid-stage of the Yuanhai Realm."

The Bloodthirsty Sky Ant inquired.

"My current mental strength level is too low, only at the low level of Dou Ling. I need to be at least at the high level of Dou Ling, or even the peak of Dou Ling, to have any hope of refining high-level evolution fluid."

Lin Yan said helplessly.

Breakthroughs in mental strength also require a lot of resources.

Without resources, breaking through is even slower than martial arts cultivation.

"We really need to think of a way... After leaving the Flowing Light Universe, I need to find a way to get the spiritual energy medicine as soon as possible."

Ao Qing nodded.

"It's almost time. We should continue our treasure hunt. We've already wasted too much time here."

The Path of the Immortal Refining Butterfly.

"it is good!"

Lin Yan and his group set off to continue their treasure hunt.

However, they had only been walking for a short time when an accident occurred—Lin Yan and his group encountered a group of refugees!

The leader of the team was none other than Han Jiuzhou!

The once radiant and dazzling Han Jiuzhou is now panicked and fleeing in terror.

Beside Han Jiuzhou were several young people, whose attire clearly indicated that they were also from the Douling family, the Han family.

"Brother Jiuzhou, they're catching up fast! We're afraid we won't be able to escape this time!"

"A disciple of the Han family said in horror."

Han Jiuzhou was covered in blood, his wounds gaping open in a gruesome manner, clearly indicating that he had just experienced a fierce battle. He glanced back and saw several flying demonic beasts hot on his heels, about tens of thousands of feet away.

These flying monsters flapped their wings, clutching human corpses in their hands as they flew and devoured them, their mouths splattered with blood, and bursts of savage laughter echoed through the air.

"Haha, the flesh of a human cultivator at the Yuanhai Realm tastes pretty good. Although they're a bit old, the life essence they contain is much stronger than that of the younger generation."

Such laughter was incredibly eerie, casting a shadow over the hearts of the Han family members who were fleeing ahead.

Many of the Han family disciples were pale and filled with despair, but Han Jiuzhou said in a deep voice:

"These demonic beasts are deliberately trying to scare us, everyone! Don't fall for their tricks! There are many powerful elders in this Flowing Light Universe. If we hold on, we might be able to get reinforcements!"

"Waiting for reinforcements? That's wishful thinking!"

Suddenly, a long howl rang out, and a terrifying figure descended from the sky, intercepting Han Jiuzhou and the others.

This monstrous beast was a black bear with golden fur on its chest and golden claws. Its eyes glowed with blood-red light, yet it exuded a terrifying aura of oppression.

"Haha, it seems your reinforcements haven't arrived yet, but the reinforcements from my Demon Ancestor Star Region have arrived first!"

The flying monsters following behind laughed loudly.

"Damn it, is this entire Flowing Light Universe also teeming with powerful beings from the Demon Ancestor Starfield?"

Looking at that enormous body, Han Jiuzhou couldn't help but tremble with a sense of despair. He had originally wanted to try his luck in the Flowing Light Universe to see if he could encounter some old monsters of humanity who could help him and rescue them.

Unexpectedly, instead of receiving reinforcements from the human race, they were intercepted by the demon race.

Now we're surrounded by pursuers, there's absolutely no way out!

"go to hell!"

The massive black bear let out a cold shout and slapped at Han Jiuzhou with one paw. Han Jiuzhou's body was covered in icy sword energy as he tried to fight back.

However, even though Han Jiuzhou's combat strength is now comparable to that of the Yuanhai Realm, the black bear was completely unharmed when his sword energy struck it.

"It's over..."

Han Jiuzhou closed his eyes in despair. The gap was too great. He was no match for these powerful figures from the Demon Ancestor Starfield!

"what!"

Just when the Han family thought they were doomed, a scream suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the black bear's claws had been severed, and golden blood gushed out.

"what happened?"

The Han family was completely dumbfounded.

Han Jiuzhou was also dumbfounded and shocked. He tried his best, but he couldn't cut off a single hair of this black bear. You have to know that his strength in the Void Starfield is already comparable to the older generation!

Even if the Void Sect Master himself came, he might not be much stronger than him.

But now, someone has actually cut off one of the black bear's arms!

"Who! Who dares to cut off my bear paw? I will kill you!"

The black bear let out a roar.

"How dare a mere black bear spirit be so presumptuous!"

A cold voice rang out, followed by a beam of white light descending from the sky. Within the light was a young man, with a small golden ant perched on his shoulder.

"Owner?"

Han Jiuzhou was stunned.

That familiar figure made his mind reel.
