Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

He ran over and saw a pile of broken bones in front of him. He hadn't noticed them before, but after walking over, he realized they were human bones.

He found it very strange that he had not seen any other people since the desert had fallen, but there was a smashed skeleton here.

At that moment, he was thinking about going back to find Lixue, and without thinking too much, he took a few dozen steps forward and found a large stone block with half of it smashed, revealing a black box.

Out of curiosity, he went over and took it out. The box was locked, but it wasn't broken.

He grabbed the lock and pulled hard. With a "click," the lock broke. When he opened the box, he found a bead the size of an egg.

He took out the Spirit-Seeking Pearl and saw the color inside. He was overjoyed. It turned out to be the Spirit of Earth. He couldn't help but laugh heartily at the sky.

Finally calming his excitement, he looked at the unusual box again. Inside was a cloth bag, which he then opened.

It was an ancient book and a parchment scroll that appeared to be a map. He opened the book, and although it didn't contain much information, it did mention Yi Fang to his surprise.

It turns out that the dead man was someone who had been seduced by Yi Fang. He later discovered Yi Fang's true colors and, not wanting Yi Fang to kill him, stole the Earth Spirit from her and fled overnight. He accidentally escaped to the desert, fell into quicksand, and ended up in this place.

There was no one here, and there was no food or water. After surviving alone for a few days, this person wrote these words and drew the location of Yifang on the Duoduo Grassland.

I had heard Yifang mention that place before; this person was a strong man in his lifetime and must have been there.

Seeing that he was about to fall and die, he left behind the ancient book and the parchment scroll, intending to tell those who were destined to find out that they might come in handy if they needed to know Yifang's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, this destined person was Wang Mu. He was looking for clues about Yi Fang, only knowing that she had gone to the grassland. The Duoduo Grassland was too big, and it would be difficult to find her without clues. Unexpectedly, he now had a clue.

He remembered hearing Tivi say that the Earth Spirit was in the Kingdom of Lumba, but somehow it fell into the hands of Ifang.

Now that he had obtained the Earth Spirit unintentionally, he laughed a few times and muttered to himself, "It really came without any effort at all."

Then he thought of Lixue, so he used his lightness technique and rushed back like a wisp of smoke.

On the way, he met Lixue, who looked anxious. It turned out that Lixue was worried about him and, without thinking about anything else, ran out of the formation to look for him.

Unbeknownst to the two, beneath the place Wang Mu had previously left, a giant monster had awakened. It was unknown how many years this monster had slept, but upon waking, it discovered that the restrictions were slowly disappearing.

It turned out that the place where the restriction was located was hit by a series of falling rocks. Over time, the spiritual energy array that engraved the restriction was destroyed, and the spiritual energy array slowly lost its function.

Just as it was free from the restraints, a ferocious look suddenly appeared in the monster's eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing Wang Mu, Li Xue rushed into his arms.

Wang Mu hugged her and said, "It's alright now."

Wang Mu looked at the person in front of him, his heart racing, but the next second, his blood surged upwards.

He understood that now was the time for a breakthrough.

He said quickly, "Lixue, I'm about to break through to the next level, and I need you by my side to protect me."

Before Lixue could ask, he said, "You need to be careful." Then, ignoring Lixue, he sat cross-legged to the side, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on his dantian.

Li Xue was unaware of what was happening. The Emperor said he was about to break through, so she guessed that it must be a breakthrough in his martial arts. Knowing that the Emperor's martial arts were special, she carefully watched over him from the side.

For a long time, she stayed by his side, not daring to blink even once.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, suddenly, a seven-colored light flashed from the person in front of her. She was startled, but then she realized that she had seen this three-ring seven-color light before and recognized it as the emperor's special martial arts technique.

It was so sudden that she was overjoyed, because she knew that the Emperor was even more powerful, probably a sub-saint level expert.

Soon after, Wang Mu slowly opened his eyes, and Li Xue hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, did you succeed?"

Wang Mu nodded, then gave a bitter laugh and sighed, "But it's not the right time."

"Why do you say that?" Li Xuexin asked anxiously again.

"Because I have temporarily lost my internal energy."

"Loss of internal energy?"

"It means there is no more battle aura or spiritual power."

Lixue was horrified and cried out in anguish, "Why did it turn out like this?"

Seeing the worry and grief on Li Xue's face, Wang Mu explained, "I'm only temporarily losing time, about thirty days."

Upon hearing this, Lixue immediately felt relieved and patted her chest, saying, "That scared me to death."

Wang Mu chuckled and said, "That's why it's not the right time. We're currently underground, and who knows what dangers lie ahead? I have no internal energy left. What will I do if something happens?"

Li Xue knew that this place was fraught with danger, and if the emperor lost his inner strength, both of them would be in great danger, so she said, "Why don't we just stay here and not go anywhere else?"

Wang Mu smiled helplessly, "I've lost my internal energy, so I can't even set up a powerful formation anymore. Rather than staying here, it's better to look for an exit in the surrounding area."

Lixue thought it made sense, so she didn't say anything more.

After resting for a while, the two headed towards the area of ​​buildings they had visited earlier. On the way, Wang Mu shared his findings but made no mention of Yi Fang.

They had just reached the ruins when suddenly, a monster burst out from underground.

Before the two could even see what was happening, several wind blades came rushing towards them.

Wang Mu rolled to the side with Li Xue in his arms, crashing into a rock. A few drops of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was also injured.

"The Emperor."

Lixue was terrified and cried out in alarm. Looking behind her, she saw an unknown monster, seven or eight meters tall, walking towards the two of them.

When Wang Mu saw that her blonde hair had been cut off from her neck down, and looking back at the spot where she had just been standing, with her severed hair scattered all over the ground, he was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly threw out several handfuls of poison powder, and then tossed out a cloth-bound puppet.

Upon receiving the command, the puppet immediately stood up, transforming into an ancient-style girl wielding a sword and attacking the approaching monster.

"Run!"

After Wang Mu had the puppet face off against the monster, he grabbed Li Xue's hand and ran away.

At this moment, Li Xue was quite frightened, and her legs were a little weak. She had just seen the emperor injured and remembered that he had lost all his internal energy and was now like an ordinary person.

Wang Mu ran for a while, then turned around and saw that the puppet had multiplied into more than ten, indicating that it was no match for the monster.

The puppet was struck several times, and each time it split into two, its attack power naturally weakened. He knew that the puppet couldn't hold out for long, but now Lixue was already panting heavily.

During the break, he pointed to the hair behind his finger. Lixue touched it and almost fainted from fright. Recalling what had happened earlier, she was still shaken.

Wang Mu looked at the monster again, and the puppets around him were getting fewer and fewer. Without saying anything, he carried Li Xue on his back and ran wildly.

Lixue didn't say anything, but kept her arms around his neck and occasionally looked back at the monster.
