As the black light emitted from the magic patterns on Shi Mu's incarnation became brighter and brighter, more and more black energy gathered around him, lingering around him, gradually forming a mist cocoon.
On the surface of the mist cocoon, the demonic energy gathered more and more densely, becoming like substance, and the surface began to expand and contract rhythmically.
This situation lasted for a full day and night.
Suddenly, the mist cocoon began to expand and deform, as if the incarnation inside was about to come out, and at the same time, the aura swelled.
Outside the golden light curtain, Shi Mu stared at the scene in front of him without blinking.
Finally, as a muffled sound of "click" came from the mist cocoon, the large black gas gathered here collapsed and rolled away in all directions, revealing one of them, a huddled figure with his hands on his knees.
"Breakthrough!" Seeing this, Shi Mu was overjoyed.
This external incarnation of my own actually broke through the bottleneck of cultivation and reached the realm of the early stage of the earth level in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the incarnation slowly raised its head, opened its eyes, and stood up.
At this moment, his figure is no longer that of a three-foot-old child, but has grown to be as tall as Shi Mu, and his facial features are also very similar, except that his whole body is covered with purple lines, and his expression has a hint of evil.
There were circles of purple lines on his lower abdomen. Shi Mu connected with his mind and discovered that a black air flow like liquid was slowly rotating in his Dantian.
That was the spiritual sea incarnated outside the body. At this moment, it was finally completely opened up. The clicking sound just now was the sound when the spiritual sea was completed.
Seeing this, Shi Mu felt a little relieved and took a look deep below.
Several days passed, and Yan Luo still didn't come out. Although the connection with his spiritual consciousness was still there, there was no response.
Shi Mu shook his head and ordered his avatar to sit down cross-legged and continue to swallow the demonic energy.
Since the spiritual sea was opened up, the speed at which the body's avatar is devouring demonic energy has greatly increased again, causing the instability of the aura caused by the recent promotion to gradually stabilize.
But then, Shi Mu began to discover that a large area of black energy was still coiling around the incarnation, but it could not be directly submerged into the magic patterns around it like before.
In other words, the incarnation can no longer improve its cultivation by swallowing demonic energy as before.
"What's going on?" Shi Mu was a little surprised when he saw this. He tried several more times, but the situation remained the same.
Since this incarnation of mine is of demonic nature, it is able to rapidly improve its cultivation by swallowing demonic energy, which is somewhat special. This was not mentioned in the classics that I originally consulted.
Seeing this, Shi Mu shook his head.
In this case, he had no choice but to give up. He took a look at the depths of the demonic energy, his heart moved, and he immediately drove his avatar to get up and head downwards.
Yanluo had dived directly into the depths of the demonic energy before. It has been a long time now, and I don't know how she is doing.
The incarnation outside the body flew downwards, and soon went dozens of feet deeper, finally reaching the bottom of the Eye of the Sea.
Shi Mu's face was startled. A crack several feet in size suddenly appeared in the space at the bottom of the sea eye. It was unknown where it led, and jet-black demonic energy emanated from it.
Next to the space crack, you can see a black fog ball that is as tall as a person. It is very similar to the fog cocoon condensed by the previous incarnation. The surrounding black gas is still gathering towards the center continuously, forming a vortex.
Through the black air, Yan Luo's figure can be vaguely seen, and waves of powerful breath fluctuations come from inside. This pressure is far beyond what it could compare to when the previous incarnation broke through.
Yanluo seemed to be using some secret technique to absorb the surrounding demonic energy.
Judging from the fluctuations in her aura, her injuries have recovered greatly.
Seeing this scene, Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief and did not disturb Yan Luo, letting the avatar look around.
The rocks around the seabed have all turned pitch black due to being contaminated with demonic energy for a long time, somewhat similar to those magic crystals, but with more sharp cold light.
These black stones contained a lot of black energy. Shi Mu's heart moved and he ordered his avatar to collect these stones.
Then he continued to walk on the seabed. The place was not big, and he quickly turned around. Except for the black stones he had discovered before, there was nothing else.
Shi Mu soon became bored, and asked his avatar to sit down not far from Yan Luo, quietly waiting for Yan Luo to come out of seclusion.
Time passed little by little, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the black energy on Yanluo's body became more intense, the mana fluctuations coming from his body became more and more violent, and the vortex caused by absorbing the evil energy became faster and faster.
On this day, the black energy wrapped around Yanluo's body suddenly rolled violently and surged towards his body.
A huge coercion emanated from Yanluo's body, almost reaching the level of a saint. The surrounding seawater's demonic energy violently turbulent and surged outward, as if a hurricane had hung out of thin air.
The external avatar was unable to defend himself and was immediately blown away by this powerful pressure, slamming into the mountain wall.
Fortunately, this incarnation is very hard and not injured.
He turned over, climbed up, and flew upwards. He flew more than ten feet before he stopped and looked at Yan Luo.
Black energy surrounded Yanluo's body, as if she were spiritual. A large black light emitted from her body, and then a burst of dazzling white light came out.
Two kinds of light, one black and one white, entangled each other and gradually condensed into a huge black and white flower, which appeared behind Yan Luo.
Yan Luo looked solemn at this moment, waving his hands and creating spells one after another.
The black and white flowers behind her gradually melted towards her body, but the speed was very slow and seemed very reluctant.
Shi Mu's eyes flickered. Although he was only in the early stage of Heavenly Realm, he also knew a lot about the later realms and had read many books in Shengdian Pavilion.
The black and white flowers behind Yan Luo should be the holy embryo condensed during the process of advancing to the holy level.
Only by condensing the holy embryo and successfully integrating it with the body can one truly advance to the holy realm.
But looking at Yanluo like this, it doesn't seem like everything is going smoothly.
At this moment, the light on Yanluo's body trembled violently, and then hummed low, and the black and white flowers behind her rippled violently, then made a loud noise and suddenly dissipated.
A violent mana fluctuation suddenly spread, and the sea water was violently turbulent again.
The incarnation outside his body immediately flew upwards without waiting to affect him. When the turmoil slowly subsided, he flew downwards again.
At the bottom of the sea, the black air and light around Yanluo had dissipated, and he stood there quietly. It seemed that he had failed to attack the holy steps, and his expression looked a little desolate, but he could not see any joy or anger.
The black shadow flashed, and the incarnation flew down and landed in front of Yan Luo.
"I didn't expect that your incarnation would break through the bottleneck here." Yan Luo looked at the incarnation outside and said.
"You just failed to break through the bottleneck. Is everything okay?" Shi Mu asked through his external avatar.
"It's okay, it just consumed some energy." Yanluo said.
"We can't rush this matter. Now that you have experienced it twice, you should be sure next time." Shi Mu said.
"Maybe, but it's not easy to find a place with such strong demonic aura." Yanluo looked around and said.
"By the way, do you know why there is demonic energy overflowing here? Is this place connected to the Black Demon Star Territory?" Shi Mu asked again.
"Due to some special reasons, it is not surprising that there are several space passages between the two major star fields. Perhaps a long time ago, you had a fierce battle above the holy level here. However, the sealing boundary has been too long.
It has begun to decline." Yanluo said.
"Then will the black demon clan pass through the space crack here and appear here across space?" Shi Mu frowned and asked.
"The space crack here is different from the previous Pumice Star Sea. Not only is it much smaller in scale, it is also extremely unstable. At best, it can only leak some demonic energy, and it is impossible for living beings to pass through." Yan Luo said, flashing on his face.
A hint of tiredness.
"You'd better retreat here first to recover your strength, and I won't disturb you anymore." Seeing this, Shi Mu controlled the avatar's body to fly upwards.
"Wait a minute." Yan Luo suddenly stopped Shi Mu.
"Your external avatar can't improve its strength at this moment, right?" She looked at her external avatar and said.
"Yes, this avatar can no longer absorb the demonic energy here. Do you know the reason?" the avatar said, with a look of joy on his face.
"Although your incarnation is extraordinary, it is not easy to reach the earth level by swallowing demonic energy. But if you want to continue to improve the strength of your incarnation, you need to let it practice the skills, just like ordinary monks, slowly
Slowly break through the realm and improve your strength." Yan Luo rolled his eyes at the avatar and said.
When Shi Mu saw this, his expression was stunned. This was the first time Yanluo showed such an expression in front of him. She had always looked cold and cold before.
Yanluo noticed the change in Shi Mu's expression and immediately reacted. His face turned slightly red, but it immediately returned to normal.
She waved her hand, and a burst of black energy flew out of her hand, condensed into a black jade slip, handed it to the avatar, and said: "There is a set of black demon skills here, which was practiced by the holy demon Xiao Yao. I
I devoured his soul and obtained this technique. This technique is quite good, and it also comes with several powerful demonic powers, which is very suitable for your incarnation."
"Okay, thank you very much." Incarnation took the jade slip and said.
"Why do you need to say thank you to me? These days you go everywhere hunting monsters and collecting beast souls for me. If you want to say thank you, don't you have to say thank you to me many times." Yan Luo said with a smile on his face.
.
This smile is like ice that has been frozen for thousands of years suddenly melting, making everything around it eclipse.
Shi Mu's expression was dull for a while, and he stood there in a daze.
"Okay, the demonic energy here is very strong, which is perfect for practicing. You go quickly, I want to recover my strength." Yanluo waved his hand and sat down.
