Chapter 14556 The Body of an Annihilation Emperor

Chapter 14556 The Body of an Annihilation Emperor
A white shadow appeared like a ghost. Sword Aura drifted to the edge of the pool, carefully sensing for a moment. A hint of approval flashed in his cold eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"With your current physical strength, you are strong enough to withstand the full force of an ordinary Emperor Realm expert. Even if you use a forbidden treasure like the Annihilation Emperor Banner, the backlash will have a negligible effect on you. Even if you are seriously injured, with this recovery speed, you can recover in an instant."

A joyful smile spread across Ling Xiao's lips as he leaped out of the pool. His dark robes automatically clung to his body, starlight swirled around him, and his aura was deep and powerful... This trip to the sacred mountain had yielded far more than he had expected!

The physical body of a Nirvana Emperor!
What he lacks now is simply to improve his own cultivation level.

As long as one's cultivation can break through to the peak of the Star River Realm as soon as possible, with the current physique and the demonic needles and imperial banner in hand, it will be no difficult task to reverse the fate of ordinary imperial realm warriors.

Of course, if he were to face an opponent like the Lord of Annihilation, who had touched the threshold of the Realm Lord, the outcome would still be uncertain.

"After returning, I must improve my cultivation level as soon as possible." Ling Xiao thought to himself, a sense of urgency flashing in his eyes... His physical body had already reached the Emperor Realm, and if his cultivation level did not catch up, it would be a waste of his potential.

Just then, Jian Sha's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming."

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already transformed into a barely perceptible silver light, disappearing into the space of the magic needle at Ling Xiao's fingertip and vanishing from sight.

Ling Xiao looked up and saw a woman dressed in a moon-white flowing cloud dress standing not far from the pool.

Her skirt was embroidered with silvery star patterns, and she was surrounded by a faint moonlight mist. A layer of hazy moonlight veil obscured her true face, leaving only her eyes, clear as an ancient, cold pool, reflecting the starry sky, looking him up and down with great interest.

"Your physical body is reasonably well-tempered." The woman nodded slightly, her voice clear and cold like the clash of jade stones. "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

Ling Xiao's heart stirred, and he asked, "Where will you take me, senior?"

A faint smile seemed to flicker in the woman's eyes, and her cool voice carried a hint of mockery: "A place that would make most men's hearts flutter... beauties abound, opportunities abound, and ancient traditions await those with the right destiny."

Ling Xiao's expression turned serious, and he solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "Senior is too kind. I already have someone on my mind. Beauty is like fleeting clouds to me; only strength and protection are fundamental. However, if there is a real opportunity, I am willing to go for it."

A graceful white figure stood where the starlight was sparse, its clothes fluttering in the night breeze, like a phantom formed from moonlight.

The woman wore a white dress woven from mist, with flowing light swirling around her like gauze, shrouding her face in a hazy halo, making it difficult to see clearly.

Only his eyes, clear and deep like an ancient, cold pool, reflected the distant stars in the sky, their flickering light seemingly holding the secrets of the primordial universe.

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, she suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh as crisp as the wind whistling through fine icicles, carrying a hint of nonchalant teasing: "I only said there were many beautiful people there, I didn't ask you to do anything. What frivolous thoughts are swirling in your mind?"

Ling Xiao remained silent.

These words, though seemingly gentle, were actually barbed, leaving him with no way to refute them.

"I'm leaving." The white figure turned gracefully, her robes fluttering as she stirred up a shower of stardust, like a migrating white nebula drifting back the way she came. "If you have anything to finish, hurry back. I'll be waiting for you at Starfall Plain."

Her voice lingered like a spring flowing in an empty valley, and before it had faded away, her figure had already blended into the deeper darkness, as if she had never existed.

Ling Xiao stood still for a moment, his green robe fluttering without wind, and with a sway of his body, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

The realm of Kangguo Sacred Mountain is still brimming with boundless vitality. Giant trees reach for the sky, blocking out the sun, and the light spots flowing between the branches and leaves are like an inverted Milky Way, turning into crystal-clear dew as they fall to the ground.

The light and shadow, which had transformed into a human form, were gently watching the young man who had returned.

“Senior, Lingxiao will always remember this kindness.” He bowed deeply, his tone sincere and genuine.

Ling Xiao was not a greedy person. Although he saw that the divine liquid in the pool was full of spiritual energy, enough to drive any cultivator crazy, he still suppressed the thought of taking it.

You can act as you please, but you must always have a bottom line in your heart, a line you must never cross.

The light and shadow nodded slightly, and the aged voice echoed like the deepest part of the earth, carrying the weight of time: "The master has ordered that you may take all of this pool of divine liquid with you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, then he clasped his hands in a fist salute again: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. May we meet again someday!"

Having said that, he no longer hesitated, and a magic needle as thin as a cow's hair flew out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a storage space about ten feet square in the void.

With a wave of his hand, the clear liquid darted into the space like a serpent, carrying with it all the spiritual crystals that had settled at the bottom of the pool.

As he turned, a corner of his green robe parted, revealing a dense, almost tangible, life essence that vanished in an instant.

The light and shadow gazed at the rapidly shrinking figure, remaining silent for a long time before slowly whispering, its voice barely audible: "Let's consider this... a good deed. As for whether it will bring abundant rain or raging fire in the future, let's see how fate will unfold."

When they found Dao Sha and Lin Ruhai, the two were hovering beside a cluster of shattered meteorites, their spiritual energy chaotic, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao return safely, the two visibly relaxed, and a look of relief at surviving a disaster flashed across their eyes.

Ling Xiao said nothing, but flicked his finger, and two points of warm, flowing light flew towards the two of them like shooting stars chasing the moon.

Dao Sha and Lin Ruhai instinctively reached out and caught it. When they opened their palms, they saw two translucent jade bottles lying quietly inside, filled with a rich, emerald-green spiritual liquid.

The mere wisp of aura emanating from the meteorite fragments brought forth vibrant green shoots on the otherwise lifeless surface, even imbuing the dust in the air with life.

"Kangguo Divine Liquid!" Lin Ruhai exclaimed, his face trembling violently.

Even a single drop of this miraculous substance can turn the tide, save lives, and heal wounds in a life-or-death struggle, let alone a whole bottle!
"This is too precious," Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice. Despite his words, his hand holding the jade bottle was as steady as a rock, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Ling Xiao smiled, his tone nonchalant: "If it weren't for your guidance, senior, I wouldn't have had the chance to see this sacred mountain and its hidden realm. These are just some worldly possessions, nothing to boast about. Please accept them, senior."

Dao Sha stared intently at the spiritual liquid in the bottle, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

At this moment, his clone's energy was more than half depleted and its foundation was damaged. To him, this Kangguo Divine Liquid was like a spring in the desert, a treasure he dared not even dream of.

Kangguo Sacred Mountain is a legendary place that he can only look up to and cannot reach at this stage.

He was usually a man of few words, and at this moment he didn't utter a single word of thanks. He simply held the jade bottle tightly in his palm, gave Ling Xiao a deep look, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and determination, all of which were unspoken.

Ling Xiao nodded to the two of them: "I still have senior colleagues waiting for me, so I'll take my leave now."
