Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Ambushed
Xu Nian frantically absorbed the gray energy, with his soul cultivation continuously enhancing.
Soon, his soul cultivation directly broke through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm.
Xu Nian instantly felt invigorated, as if his entire soul had undergone immense sublimation.
"I didn’t expect this gray energy to be so magical, it actually aids in the growth of the soul," Xu Nian said happily.
The breakthrough of the soul removed its boundaries.
Next, he could cultivate both his body and soul simultaneously, so that when his immortal body reached completion, his soul could also be tempered mostly.
"Although this gray energy helps in enhancing the soul, I suggest you best not absorb more," Lin Ruolan suddenly said with a smile.
"Why?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"This gray energy actually has side effects. It makes one’s emotions become irritable and increases hostility. Absorbing a little doesn’t matter, but once you absorb a lot, you’ll become a mere killing machine," Lin Ruolan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He didn’t expect the gray energy to have side effects, but fortunately, he hadn’t absorbed much.
Otherwise, once the soul got infected, it would not only bring negative emotions but also greatly affect future cultivation.
Clearly, Lin Ruolan could have warned him earlier, but she chose to do so afterward, obviously with ill intent.
Lin Ruolan seemed to see through Xu Nian’s thoughts, a charming smile on her face: "I didn’t remind you, so what? Don’t forget, we have always been enemies."
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly, after years, Lin Ruolan was still so sinister.
"It seems I should keep my distance from her," Xu Nian thought to himself.
"Let’s go. This small world is quite large, at least as big as more than half of Tianhen Continent. We should be at the edge; the person you’re looking for is probably deeper within," Lin Ruolan said to Xu Nian.
Then she immediately headed towards the depths of the small world.
Xu Nian naturally chose to follow her.
"Buzz!"
However, Lin Ruolan hadn’t walked for long before stopping.
Xu Nian also sensed something was wrong and vigilantly looked around.
"There’s an ambush!" Lin Ruolan transmitted her voice to Xu Nian.
"Mm, I sensed it too. There’s something odd here," Xu Nian responded with transmitted voice.
The surroundings were filled with gray mountains, extremely silent.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a fierce sword radiance shot out directly from the void.
Xu Nian’s face immediately changed, and his figure turned into a blur to dodge it.
The sword radiance nearly grazed Xu Nian’s body.
The sharp sword Qi produced by the sword radiance struck Xu Nian’s cloud silk robe, creating splendid sparks.
"Such fierce sword Qi, the power of this sword is definitely no less than a full-powered strike from a peak Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse," Xu Nian said in surprise.
In this world, his understanding of the profound argumentation didn’t emerge at all, making it impossible to unleash it, so he had to rely on his own strength to fight.
Therefore, facing a peak Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse’s sword, he was very strenuous.
But fortunately, Xu Nian’s "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" was extremely powerful, barely allowing him to dodge.
"These are Earth Immortal level powerhouses; they are different from us. They control the profound argumentation of this world. We must be very careful," Lin Ruolan transmitted her voice to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian nodded, vigilantly looking around.
He still hadn’t found the enemy’s figure and was very puzzled. Did the enemy also use space profound argumentation?
"Buzz!"
At this moment, another fierce sword radiance flies towards Xu Nian from behind.
This sword was even more fierce and swift than the previous one.
Xu Nian’s face changed; this sword arrived too suddenly for him to dodge.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian summoned the immortal sword and struck at the fierce sword radiance.
"Buzz!"
The sword edge collided with the sword radiance, creating incomparably splendid sparks.
"Clang!"
The next moment, Xu Nian, together with the sword, was blasted back.
"Buzz!"
Following immediately was another sword.
This sword aimed directly at Xu Nian’s neck, seemingly to claim his life.
"Humph!"
Lin Ruolan coldly snorted, appearing before Xu Nian in an instant, and struck at the incoming sword radiance with her palm.
Immortal essence surged, and the sword radiance directly shattered.
"Get out!"
Lin Ruolan shouted fiercely, then struck the void ahead once more with her palm.
"Boom!"
The entire space seemed to stir up huge waves, the space rolling violently.
"Pfft!"
A silhouette was directly blasted out of the space, spewing fresh blood, and fell afar.
Xu Nian quickly looked towards that person and found that he was a man dressed in a black robe.
Wearing a mask on his head, his appearance was indistinguishable.
Xu Nian’s eyes turned sharp, controlling the flying sword to dart out.
The flying sword traveled miles, arriving in an instant.
It stopped directly at the black-robed man’s forehead.
The man who was originally about to escape was instantly motionless; he knew that if he moved, the flying sword would penetrate his forehead instantly.
"Who are you? Why did you ambush us?"
Xu Nian came to the black-robed man and asked.
Lin Ruolan also landed beside Xu Nian, her eyes filled with a sharp glint.
The black-robed man looked at Xu Nian, his eyes showing confusion and astonishment.
"He can’t understand your words, there should be a language barrier," Lin Ruolan said.
Xu Nian nodded, realizing the black-robed man couldn’t understand him either.
"What about Gudamu?" Lin Ruolan looked at the black-robed man and asked.
"Dagutatam!" The black-robed man immediately exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Ruolan spoke again, her mouth full of these strange words.
Xu Nian stood by, confused. What language was this, why was it so strange?
Lin Ruolan and the black-robed man conversed for a long time, and eventually, the black-robed man’s expression grew more excited, even kneeling towards Lin Ruolan.
What’s going on?
Xu Nian was completely puzzled.
"What did you say to him?" Xu Nian couldn’t help but ask.
"I just asked him why he tried to kill us, and he said we were scouts sent by the enemy. I then said we were from the Upper World, and he believed me, so he kneeled," Lin Ruolan said with a smile.
"Then how do you know their language?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"You forgot, although this world is independent, it still belongs to the Mortal World, so when they reach a certain cultivation level, they will ascend to the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World, and I learned it from their ancestors who ascended," Lin Ruolan said with a smile.
Xu Nian suddenly realized.
No wonder Lin Ruolan was so familiar with this place. It seems this world’s ancestors who ascended to the Demon World must have told her some things.
"Then can you teach me this language here?" Xu Nian thought for a moment and asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruolan playfully smiled and said with allure, "Want to learn? Then plead with me, otherwise, what benefits will you give me if I teach you?"
Xu Nian was instantly stunned, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
