After a fierce battle, the Bearmen warriors once again slew hundreds of enemies. Watching the time pass, Ye Luo once more ordered the Bearmen warriors to halt their slaughter.
Next, it was time to test patience.
The people of Telun Country couldnât retreat easily, because the Void Shard was too important to them. It could be said that hundreds of years of planning were exchanged for todayâs results, but these results had been conveniently snatched by the people of the Ninth Region, whom they had never taken seriously. How could the people of Telun Country accept this?
Even though Telun Country was currently powerless against Ye Luo and the Bearmen, they couldnât possibly withdraw easily.
As for Ye Luo, as long as the people from Telun Country had not left, he could not possibly be safe.
One must know that to absorb the energy of the Void Shard, time is inevitably required. Itâs very likely that Ye Luo has only just begun absorbing when Telun Countryâs people storm forward.
Certainly, even if Ye Luo does not absorb the energy of the Void Shard, as long as he leaves the range of the Void Shardâs fluctuations, he would be ruthlessly slaughtered by the enemy!
The hatred between both sides could only be resolved through oneâs death!
The balance between both sides hinges on the fluctuations of the Void Shard; when the waves burst, it was the realm of the Bearmen, when they disappeared, it was the realm of Telun Country!
Mastering every moment was the key to the battle between the two sides!
Furthermore, Ye Luoâs side had significantly fewer numbers than the enemy, so Ye Luo must be extremely cautious and accurately calculate the interval times of each Void Shard fluctuation!
Of course, Ye Luoâs only advantage was that he possessed the Void Shard, so naturally, the range of fluctuation was under Ye Luoâs control!
...
This battle lasted for a very long time! As long as two months!
It was a relentless battle! Every burst of spiritual power fluctuation would lead to another bloody fight.
With time passing, not to mention the Bearmen warriors, even Ye Luo was exhausted, fighting non-stop for over two months, wearing down both body and mind through frightful torment.
Although everyone was a cultivator, such intense battle was indeed a test of willpower!
At this time, the Bearmenâs peculiar characteristics showed extraordinary strength!
The Bearmen warriors could fall asleep instantly when the fighting stopped, then immediately rush forward howling when battle erupted!
Because these simple-minded folks had very straightforward thoughts, or rather, were quite silly and naive.
Why, clearly Ye Luo had the Void Shard, which meant having the initiative, clearly he could rest whenever he wanted, yet he commanded the Bearmen warriors to keep attacking?
Thatâs because Ye Luo knew, if his side couldnât endure, the enemies couldnât endure even more!
Now, not only was it about competing in strength, but also patience, Ye Luo had no choice but to keep fighting, unless Telun Countryâs people voluntarily gave up.
Fortunately, Telun Countryâs soldiers obviously didnât have nerves as sturdy as the Bearmen, so now the Telun Countryâs soldiers were already full of complaints.
Of course, more importantly, no women!
Telun Countryâs cultivation technique was special; without women, their cultivation couldnât improve, might even regress, naturally their mood would be exceptionally irritable.
Such a strange cultivation technique, such a peculiar force, Ye Luo had never seen such bizarre and disgusting techniques before, but this provided Ye Luo with an opportunity because the more agitated the enemy became, the more mistakes they would make!
Sure enough, it was so, recent attacks had shown distinctively larger losses on the enemyâs side.
Even Telun Countryâs generals were aware that continuing to exhaust themselves would mean leaving behind the tens of thousands they brought, so seeing the futility, ultimately, Telun Countryâs army was forced to choose to retreat.
Certainly, everyone knew this was just the beginning; Telun Country wouldnât simply abandon the Void Shard, so it wouldnât be long before a new expeditionary force would arrive.
Then, it wouldnât just target the Doghead tribe, but the entire Da Yue Empire!
Disbanding the Bearmen warriors, Ye Luo resolutely headed swiftly toward the interior of the desolate region.
Ye Luo aimed to find a safe place to absorb the Void Shard because soon enough, the Da Yue Empire was likely to face disaster.
This was something Ye Luo understood very well, he also knew clearly, even if he surrendered the Void Shard now, Telun Country would still not spare the Da Yue Empire.
Because Telun Country was a nation of the Eighth Region, they fundamentally looked down on the people of the Ninth Region.
Ye Luoâs seizure of the Void Shard was a great humiliation to them, so revenge was inevitable!
Soon, Ye Luo found a very barren place, here, not a trace of life could be detected for hundreds of miles around, yet this was precisely the kind of place Ye Luo favored.
"Senior, I think this place is good, why donât we proceed here!"
Ye Luo spoke to Ao Long, since to absorb the Void Shard, he could only rely on Ao Longâs special secret technique, without Ao Longâs guidance, Ye Luo himself could not absorb the Void Shard.
"Hmm, I have no objections, but kid, though my secret technique can allow you to absorb the Void Shard, with your current strength, you must make a choice. I will give you three suggestions: First, you could refine this Void Shard into your exclusive treasure, but the effects of this treasure will be randomly generated based on your constitution!"
"Secondly, as I mentioned before, absorbing the Void Shard directly, you can achieve at least Spirit Martial Realm Peak cultivation, which seems most suitable for you now, but I feel itâs the greatest waste of the Void Shard! You could absorb less than a tenth of its power!"
"As for the third option, Iâm merely offering it for your consideration because even I donât quite agree with it, and thatâs sealing the Void Shard inside your body. The advantage of doing this is that it maximizes the energy conservation of the Void Shard, absorbing it in stages without wasting it, but the downside is obviousâyou will not be able to use spiritual power, becoming an Absolute Spirit Body!"
Absolute Spirit Body!
Ye Luo frowned slightly; absolute spirit body referred to those like the Man Niu, Bearmen, and similar beings, unable to use spiritual power for combat, relying only on physicality!
