The wind was not natural, but a byproduct of the violent flow of spiritual energy!
As he circulated his Qi, he became the eye of the storm, with gales raging around him while he remained as still as a mountain.
One circulation took over an hour, during which he had absorbed eighty percent of the spiritual energy in this area.
As for the essence of plants and living beings, he had only symbolically absorbed two to three tenths of it.
If he had absorbed all of it, this mountain would have become a dead one.
This time, the power within his body had increased by fifty percent.
This number even felt outrageous to him.
Was cultivation this simple?
Lin Xiao emerged from the cave where he had been cultivating, feeling refreshed.
He then noticed that the lush vegetation at the entrance of the cave now resembled early autumn, with some plants already turning yellow.
"My apologies, my apologies."
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then decided to provide some natural fertilizer to prevent them from withering.
After completing this, he hurried to leave.
It was at this moment. He felt the domain again.
It was still the pure white world, and still True Lord Tianhe.
"It's been a few days, Lin Xiao, and your progress is a bit too rapid."
True Lord Tianhe's face contorted into a sneer. He stared at Lin Xiao, his killing intent completely undisguised.
Beneath the murderous intent lay greed.
"It seems the time is right for you to make a move."
Lin Xiao's hair stood on end; this was a signal of danger.
"The time is ripe, Lin Xiao. Your existence is no longer as important."
True Lord Tianhe laughed heartily, his features becoming contorted. "Lin Xiao, do you know why I wouldn't make a move against you before, no matter what?"
"Because... you were waiting," Lin Xiao understood the reason instantly.
It wasn't because True Lord Tianhe was restricted from acting, nor was it about luck. It was because he hadn't yet discovered the secrets within the cultivation technique, and True Lord Tianhe had no reason to act.
"Yes, I was waiting, and these past few days, you've indeed taken the bait." True Lord Tianhe now held a long sword in his hand. As the sword appeared, countless identical swords materialized out of nowhere in the otherwise white domain space, floating in the air.
"You thought I didn't dare attack you because of the True Dragon Qi on you, because you were blessed with luck. Wrong, all wrong." True Lord Tianhe's smile was exceptionally sinister. "It was simply because the price of acting against you exceeded the benefits I could gain."
"But, it's different now."
"Because I've learned that cultivation technique."
"Yes, your actions have confirmed to me that the cultivation technique truly can absorb anything in the world and transform it into one's own cultivation, just as the legends say." True Lord Tianhe raised the sword in his hand, aiming it at Lin Xiao.
Not only the sword in his hand but all the blades in the domain instantly locked onto Lin Xiao.
"Therefore, now, I must ask you to die."
True Lord Tianhe spoke, and with a swing of his sword, tens of thousands of blades attacked simultaneously!
Lin Xiao's True Dragon Qi, along with the killing intent armor, appeared instantly. He gripped his military saber.
Sitting still and waiting for death was never his choice.
"Today, I shall kill the free from the divine realm."
