Boom!
Wang Chong decided without hesitation to push the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to its limits so that the golden seed could absorb the energy as quickly as possible.
As time passed, the energy continued to surge into the golden seed at an astonishing rate, the energy sea underground rapidly dwindling. It took only a few moments for one-fifth of the energy sea to be absorbed by the golden seed.
Despite absorbing this sea of energy, the golden seed showed no obvious change. It was like its capacity was limitless.
Two-fifths!
Three-fifths!
The underground energy was disappearing at an astonishing rate.
Buzz!
Finally, when four-fifths of the energy sea had been absorbed, the golden seed in Wang Chong's body finally exhibited a subtle transformation.
Thump!
With a soft sound, the golden seed finally grew a tiny bit stronger.
While it was a meager change, this was the largest change Wang Chong had seen in the seed for some time.
Not only that, deep within Wang Chong's mind, the Stone of Destiny trembled, and it began to speak in its familiar voice.
”Notice! An energy change in the golden seed has been observed. Energy absorbed at 13%, 14%, 16%…”
Wang Chong trembled in surprise.
Wang Chong had known for some time that the Stone of Destiny could detect changes in the golden seed, but he had not expected the energy hidden under the ruins to provoke this sort of change.
”Wonderful!”
For Wang Chong, even the smallest advancement in the golden seed's growth was good news.
Ever since he had obtained the True World ability, Wang Chong had realized that this golden seed was probably more powerful than he had first imagined.
The only problem was that this seed was seemingly able to absorb limitless amounts of power. The energy sea had been vast, yet absorbing four-fifths of it had only been enough to add seventeen percent. In other words, completely draining the energy sea would still not be enough to unlock a new ability for the golden seed.
Buzz!
While Wang Chong was still pondering the golden seed's transformation, a strange energy suddenly erupted from the golden seed and linked with Wang Chong's body.
At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly discovered that there was something else far in the distance.
”What is this?”
Wang Chong was left shaken by this new discovery.
With the power of the golden seed, Wang Chong had discovered that there was another region farther below the ruins.
This region was shrouded in gray energy and was extremely well-hidden. He would have never discovered it without the golden seed's power.
”How surprising! There's yet another space down here.”
Even the Nightmare Beast was shocked by this revelation.
They had both probed this region after getting to the bottom of the well, but they had not found anything except the ruins of the Kegang Empire.
But now, it appeared that there was another secret grotto hidden underneath the Kegang ruins.
”It's a seal! One even older and more powerful than the Kegang Empire's!” Wang Chong said, his expression stern.
This was a strange development that he had not expected in the slightest.
The energy sea beneath the ruins was getting smaller and smaller, and the area was already beginning to tremble. Once the golden seed absorbed all of the energy, the formation would be destroyed and this area would cave in.
Wang Chong would simply have to leave before the collapse.
But now, Wang Chong was forced to change his plan.
Wang Chong swiftly put a stop to the absorption, and after a few moments of thought, he took out the Xuanyuan Sword and gathered his energy into the sword to unleash a mighty strike.
”Life Execution!”
Wang Chong converted his Subtle realm Stellar Energy into the Sword Qi of Su Zhengchen's supreme art and then thrust the sword into the ground.
The earth shuddered. Without the support of the formation's energy, the ground had become extremely fragile, and a hole was instantly blasted through it.
The Sword Qi continued downward, piercing through the air toward that gloomy area he had sensed.
With his Subtle realm energy and the Xuanyuan Sword, Wang Chong was immensely powerful. Both the formation and the hard layer of rock crumbled away in front of his Sword Qi.
Rumble!
There was a fierce shuddering that knocked loose bits of stone and chunks of lava. However, it wasn't long before Wang Chong had managed to create a straight pit with a diameter of around two meters.
Wang Chong carefully listened, and a moment later, he heard a soft crack from deep in the earth, as if something had shattered. A moment later, the world according to Wang Chong's senses was completely transformed.
