Due to the influence of the insects in front of him, Luo Xiu didn't dare to let the Killing Sky Sword erupt with any energy fluctuation during the period of Storing Power. Fortunately, he had the Boundary Compass to guide the energy in his body, allowing Luo Xiu to perfectly restrain the energy fluctuation when he was Storing Power this time. After this period of Storing Power, Luo Xiu deeply realized that his strength seemed to have been affected during this period of time, and there was even a situation where his strength had stagnated. However, the only thing that made him feel extremely excited was that he was becoming more and more proficient in using the power of rules. It was no longer as difficult to understand as before.
It was also at this moment that Luo Xiu clearly realized what he had missed before. Not to mention other things, just the Rule of Earth in the Earth Spiritual Realm alone was something that he had greatly disliked. However, after this period of time, although the Rule of Earth greatly suppressed his power, it could be seen from another perspective that the Rule of Earth was actually very beneficial to him. It allowed Luo Xiu to operate his power more calmly and more attentively.
It was also after this period of experimentation that he truly realized that he was actually very far from his strongest state. Previously, his cultivation seemed to have reached the Sovereign level, but in reality, after this period of clear understanding, he truly realized that he only had strength, and was unable to unleash this portion of his strength. Even his control over his strength had actually decreased. This was the true reason why Luo Xiu felt vigilant in his heart. What was even more unbelievable was that, as he gradually grasped his strength during this period of time, he actually discovered that his originally extremely solid foundation had once again become even stronger.
Compared with all the previous situations, Luo Xiu was 100% sure that he had unconsciously touched the essence of his power. Although there was still a long way to go before he could completely master this part of his power, as long as he had enough time, it wouldn't be too big of a problem at all.
It was also because of this that Luo Xiu deeply realized that the trace of energy within the Innate Primordial Purple Qi that he had previously grasped could really strengthen itself. It was also because he had absorbed the power of the Law of Earth of this world that he saw the foundation to completely strengthen this trace of Primordial Purple Qi. Now, he was extremely regretful that he had not properly absorbed the power of the Law of Wood in the Wood Spirit World.
If he had known earlier that it would be like this, he would have definitely tempered the power in his body. Although he had completely refined that strand of Primordial Violet Qi, he had actually discovered that this kind of power could be easily absorbed and refined in this world of laws where there was only one type of power. It was enough to make the foundation in Luo Xiu's body become even stronger. It was also because of this that he understood what he had missed earlier.
Realizing this point, he was no longer as anxious as before. Compared to before, he was certain that he did not have to worry about his strength being damaged at all. The strength of the power of the Ancient Code allowed Luo Xiu's control over his own strength to become even more stable and tenacious. From the various signs that he had seen before, as long as he guarded his heart, he would be able to easily mobilize the energy in his body for a long period of time, and use it to store up energy for the Killing Sky Sword.
Previously, Luo Xiu had paid a terrible price to break through the World of Origin of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot. In order to ensure that his attack power was strong enough to tear through the Space Barrier, he even spent part of his life and squeezed out the energy stored in the cells in his body. However, he didn't expect that this time, when he was accumulating power again, he found that part of the power in the cells in his body was slowly recovering. Moreover, because he had devoured the Rule of Earth, the recovery speed of this kind of Heavenly Tribulation power was accelerating. As his body's foundation became stronger, this kind of power also became stronger. Although it was somewhat inconceivable, Luo Xiu carefully searched for a long time and found no abnormalities, so he chose to put it aside for the time being to explore the real reason.
It couldn't be helped. He'd utterly not thought about the true reason behind this when benefits had taken the initiative to come to him. After all, Luo Xiu himself was muddle-headed in being able to attain his current cultivation, and he'd always thought that it was because of the Primordial Violet Qi. Thus, when faced with this sort of unusual bodily senses, he could only wait and see, and it was utterly unrealistic for him to analyze this by himself.
If it weren't for the system in his mind that had given him some knowledge about the application of this aspect, Luo Xiu wouldn't have thought of this at all. It also made him realize that he actually had some advantages in many aspects. For example, as time passed, the suppression of the power of the Rule of Earth in the domain of the Rule of Earth was weakening. This was something that Luo Xiu personally experienced, so he felt particularly good about it.
This situation was nothing to Luo Xiu now. Previously, he thought that it was just an ordinary situation. Now that he thought about it, it was definitely not very good. If the Eight Gates Immortal Lock Formation had given him the impression that it was a very powerful trap formation before, Luo Xiu now had a different opinion. At the very least, the powerful power of the Rule of Earth inside the Eight Gates Immortal Lock Formation could be considered a treasure to many people.
This included Luo Xiu himself. Luo Xiu didn't know about the situation of others, but he knew very well that the Eight Gates Immortal Lock Formation could allow his body to absorb and refine the power of the Heavenly Tribulation more easily under great pressure. At the same time, it could strengthen his body. At this moment, Luo Xiu was fully equipped to evolve his body in the direction of a chaotic ancient beast. This process made Luo Xiu feel unprecedentedly good.
Previously, various situations had given him a clearer understanding of his own strength. However, as time went on, Luo Xiu realized that his understanding of the power of the Rule of Earth was actually very shallow. To a certain extent, the power of the Rule of Earth in his body could be said to be very heterogeneous.
The power of the Rule of Earth with a single attribute allowed Luo Xiu to see another way to improve his cultivation. Compared to the situation where the three types of power of the Rule of Earth were mixed together in his body, Luo Xiu even guessed that focusing on one type of power of the Rule of Earth could lead to greater achievements. This made Luo Xiu really go crazy. After cultivating for so long, he realized that he had been going further and further down the wrong path. This discovery also made him realize that his understanding of cultivation was really as shallow as others said.
Thinking about this, Luo Xiu meditated on his comprehension of power while constantly pouring energy into the Killer Sky Sword. In the following period of time, he became more proficient in the use of power as he poured more energy into the Killer Sky Sword.
Previously, the Killer Sky Sword's absorption of the power of the Rule of Space had reached its limit, but its absorption of other types of energy was very weak. However, at this moment, when he poured the power of the Rule of Earth into the Killer Sky Sword, he discovered that the Killer Sky Sword was not picky about power at all. Of course, the most important thing was that the power of the Killer Sky Sword with a single attribute of the Rule of Earth could be said to be terrifying.
Time passed slowly. During this period of time, Luo Xiu constantly squeezed his potential and poured the power of the Rule of Earth into the Killer Sky Sword bit by bit. At the same time, he began to divide the power of the Rule of Earth that he had mastered, either sealed or directly abandoned the previous heterogeneous power of the Rule of Earth. This made Luo Xiu realize that there was a problem with his cultivation foundation.
Although it had no effect on his strength and even gave him more means to deal with the enemy, from another perspective, it made his overall strength not much stronger than that of an ordinary person. This made him recall that he could still fight against people who were at a higher level than him in the past. However, since he became a Sage, this situation had not happened for many years. More importantly, he did not realize this before. Even now, when he realized this, he was somewhat astonished to discover that all of this was because of the power of the Rule of Earth in his body. The heterogeneous power of the Rule of Earth did not cause any crisis because of the powerful Soul Strength in his body.
Powerful energy waves converged in his hand and began to slowly converge in a large area. Even though his control of the Killer Sky Sword was already beyond his imagination, he could not help it. As the power poured into the Killer Sky Sword increased, the sword also continued to devour the protruding power of the Heaven and Earth around it. There was no necessary connection between the two. However, because of the uniqueness of the Killer Sky Sword and the demonic blood-red color of the sword, Luo Xiu knew that his success depended on whether he could completely destroy the gravitational field with this blow.
Once Luo Xiu tried his best and still failed to destroy the gravitational field, he would not be able to get close to the giant insect nest, let alone leave this place. Therefore, Luo Xiu had to have the courage to cut off all means of retreat. With the idea of success or failure, he directly pierced the energy field in front of him with the Killer Sky Sword. Then, the spiraling power instantly skyrocketed. However, at this moment, Luo Xiu felt as if his sword had struck a huge elastic ball. The strange rebounding power made Luo Xiu feel as if he had punched cotton.
The original idea of piercing through the gravitational field did not come to fruition. As the Killer Sky Sword continued to penetrate, Luo Xiu's speed was raised to the maximum. However, even so, the sword in his hand still did not achieve the desired effect. In fact, the effect was very poor.
As a result, Luo Xiu felt that it was somewhat absurd. He seriously looked at the strange gravitational field in front of him. At this very moment, Luo Xiu's face twitched. Previously, even though he had already expected this, since this core area was where almost all the power of the Earth Spirit World gathered, he still did not expect that the terrifying defensive power of the energy field would render him so helpless.
Luo Xiu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He forcefully suppressed his boiling blood and withdrew the Killing Sky Sword in his hand. He knew that this sword could no longer help him cut through the obstacles in front of him. Therefore, Luo Xiu hesitated for a long time. He looked at the huge energy light shield-like gravity field in front of him again and couldn't help but make up his mind.
He knew better than anyone that under the current circumstances, if he wanted to open up the tunnel without paying any price like before, he would have to rely on his strength to kill his way out unless he could really move the entire nest away.
However, Luo Xiu knew his own strength very well. Even with his current strength, he might not be able to do something like this. Let alone everything else, just the powerful recoil from the gravitational field from before had made his blood boil. This was the result of Luo Xiu's indirect attack with the Killer Sky Sword. If he had directly used his fist to attack, his entire arm would probably have exploded. Although he found it rather unbelievable, there really was nothing he could do about the turtle-shell-like barrier before him.
He did not know what kind of bad luck he had encountered during this period of time. He had encountered similar situations time and time again. His luck was simply terrible. Now that he was at his wits' end in front of this gigantic hive, this was a very rare occurrence.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also knew his own strength. He no longer possessed the strength to crush an insect nest like this, so he was very vexed right now. On one hand, it was due to the suppression of his strength. On the other hand, it was because the laws of the world in this world had an unimaginable influence on him.
So much so that the current Luo Xiu was certain that even if he had the chance to successfully retreat from this place, the huge insect nest in front of him would still be a huge mountain in front of him. Unless an external force intervened, it was impossible for him to safely leave this place by himself.
Just as Luo Xiu was thinking about this, the entire Earth Spirit World suddenly shook violently. Seeing this, Luo Xiu was greatly startled. He hastily put away the Killer Sky Sword and used his concealment technique to completely hide his tracks.
He felt that the ground beneath his feet was trembling slightly. The trembling was getting more and more intense. The insects that had been gathering around the area seemed to be frightened at this moment. One by one, they rose into the air and quickly gathered to form a huge bugman.
At the same time, the reaction of the huge bugmen shocked Luo Xiu. This was because the huge bugmen were actually stacked on top of each other, forming a human wall. Their faces were facing the spatial tunnel in the sea of flowers world. This discovery greatly surprised Luo Xiu. Shortly after, he looked towards the spatial tunnel with some curiosity.
