Chapter 205: Xiao Xuan: Little friend, stop!

Above the vast, grey-brown earth, faint energy mists drifted slowly along with a light breeze; this hazy world gave one an exceptionally mysterious feeling.

In such a desolate world, it was as if even time had lost its concept...

In one part of this land, Gu Fei was sitting cross-legged; in his hands, he held two Energy Cores, both from Half-Saint Energy Bodies.

"Whoosh—"

At a certain moment, the surrounding wind suddenly became fierce, and three Energy Bodies possessing powerful auras appeared abruptly in this place.

"They actually know how to join forces?"

"I underestimated you all!"

Gu Fei sensed the three approaching, slowly opened his eyes, and stopped his cultivation.

During this period of time, while cultivating in the Heavenly Tomb, he had seized over a dozen Half-Saint Energy Cores, and had even obtained three One-Star Dou Sheng Energy Cores.

Under the accumulation of these energies, one and a half years after entering the Heavenly Tomb, he had successfully broken through to the early stage of a Two-Star Dou Saint.

Such progress could not be called anything but significant.

And it was also because of this plundering by Gu Fei that he had gained some fame among those powerful Energy Bodies in the third level of the Heavenly Tomb.

Generally speaking, those powerful Energy Bodies would stay in their own territories.

Yet this time, there were three Dou Saint Energy Bodies that had joined forces to actively come looking for Gu Fei.

"One early-stage Two-Star Dou Saint, two One-Star Dou Saints; not bad, not bad!"

At this moment, facing the joint intrusion of these three Energy Bodies, Gu Fei was actually quite excited.

If he devoured the Crystal Cores of these three Energy Bodies, Gu Fei's strength could advance further, perhaps reaching the mid-stage of a Two-Star Dou Saint.

"We haven't tasted the flesh and blood of a living person in a long time, especially a powerful living person like you!" The leading Energy Body opened its mouth grimly, and as the words fell, the three launched a thunderous offensive toward Gu Fei.

"Come on!"

Exotic Fire appeared in Gu Fei's hands, and he met their attack without the slightest panic.

The strength of an Energy Body was inherently lower than that of a person with a flesh-and-blood body of the same rank.

If not for the help of that Two-Star Dou Saint Energy Body, those two One-Star Dou Saints would likely have been killed by Gu Fei within a few exchanges.

"Yellow Springs Palm!"

The situation here was complex, so Gu Fei did not waste time and directly unleashed the Yellow Springs Palm.

A massive palm print descended from the sky.

With one strike, one of the One-Star Dou Saint-level Energy Bodies could not withstand the attack and transformed into an Energy Core, hovering in mid-air.

Seeing this, the other two instantly lost their will to fight and wanted to leave this place.

"Boom!"

Gu Fei pressed his advantage and finished off the second One-Star Dou Saint Energy Body.

And he continued to chase the one that had escaped.

The three Dou Saint-strength Energy Bodies did not manage to escape; all of them transformed into Energy Cores.

Within the following three months.

Gu Fei's strength climbed to the mid-stage of a Two-Star; the Energy Bodies he hunted began to include those with Three-Star Dou Saint strength, and that battle was sensed by many big shots in the third level of the Heavenly Tomb.

Under such crazy actions by Gu Fei, even some Energy Bodies that had reached the Dou Saint level began to hide, running away whenever they encountered a living person.

More of them hid beneath the earth.

This day, Gu Fei was chasing an Energy Body and arrived at a wasteland; there was not even a single stone to be seen here, and it was pitch black.

"Boom!"

Gu Fei stood in the sky and struck out with a palm, intending to kill the one who was fleeing.

Yet he suddenly felt a massive pressure descend upon this place.

"Little friend, it is better to be forgiving when one can!"

A voice permeated with an ancient flavor suddenly sounded slowly in this space.

When the voice sounded, the massive palm print Gu Fei had struck out dissipated without a sound.

"What is this?" Sensing this strange situation, Gu Fei could not help but have his heart rate accelerate.

Ripples appeared in the void before him, and immediately, a figure dressed in light cyan robes emerged silently.

"Greetings, Lord Xiao Xuan!"

The appearance of the figure made the Energy Body that had previously been fleeing Gu Fei's pursuit extremely excited.

In the sky, that figure raised his head, revealing a face that was not extremely handsome, but always gave one a special feeling.

He had black hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of pupils as black as ink, like black holes, deep and filled with an unusual wisdom.

"Xiao Xuan?"

"This junior has met Senior Xiao Xuan!"

Listening to the words of that soul body, Gu Fei's expression also gradually became solemn, and immediately, he bowed very respectfully toward the man in the sky.

"It was Lord Xiao Xuan who acted!"

"That living person is extremely arrogant; I hope Lord Xiao Xuan can teach him a lesson this time!"

Following Xiao Xuan's appearance, some powerful Energy Bodies in other places sensed it, and each of their faces revealed a look of excitement.

"Junior, you are quite good!"

Xiao Xuan's gaze rested on Gu Fei, and in his faint tone, one could hear appreciation.

"For so many years, you are the most outstanding young person to have come to this third level of the Heavenly Tomb!"

"However, you should also know that in the Heavenly Tomb, all are people who have passed away; this is their resting place!"

"Your actions like this!"

"Have gone too far!"

When Xiao Xuan finished saying those last two words, Gu Fei's heart pounded wildly.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan showed no signs of wanting to attack him, but instead changed his tone.

He sighed with emotion: "Originally, this world was meant to be a resting place for everyone, but because of the birth of one thing, the departed within were each implanted with a Devouring Factor; if not for my deterrence for so many years..."

Gu Fei naturally knew what Xiao Xuan was referring to; the thing that implanted the Devouring Factor into the departed was the Heavenly Tomb Spirit born from the Heavenly Tomb.

If not for Xiao Xuan stepping in to suppress it, these powerful Energy Bodies within the Heavenly Tomb would not be dividing their territories and remaining so peaceful now.

"Senior is right; this time, my hunting was indeed excessive!"

Gu Fei bowed and saluted once again.

He did not go to contradict Xiao Xuan.

"The Energy Cores on your body are enough for you to cultivate until the Heavenly Tomb expels you; for the time being, you can stop now..."

After leaving these words behind, Xiao Xuan's figure gradually dissipated.

Seeing Xiao Xuan depart, Gu Fei realized that his back was already drenched in a cold sweat.

"Respectfully sending off Lord Xiao Xuan!"

That Energy Body, having escaped disaster, knelt down once again toward the direction where Xiao Xuan had disappeared.

He understood that since Xiao Xuan had spoken, Gu Fei would definitely not dare to lay a hand on him again.

On Gu Fei's side, he did not linger; he went directly to find a secluded spot nearby to go into seclusion.

With the many Energy Cores obtained this time, he was confident he could cultivate to the peak of the two-star level.

Meanwhile, in another part of the third layer of the Heavenly Tomb, Xun Er was encountering a Half-Saint Energy Body.

Originally, Xun Er felt she had encountered a crisis, but when she displayed her Seven-Colored Clan Mark, that Half-Saint Energy Body began to tremble all over.

"The same Seven-Colored Clan Mark as that baleful star?"

"Ah..."

Amidst a terrified scream, the Half-Saint Energy Body, which was clearly much stronger than Xun Er, fled without a fight, leaving Xun Er extremely puzzled.
