112: Chapter 107: Blood Crystal 112: Chapter 107: Blood Crystal After having seafood, Ye Tian first dropped Yun Xinyan back at the villa, then left the McLaren with a nighttime auto 4S shop.
Having done all this, he took a taxi back to the villa.
By the time he returned to the villa, it was already half-past nine at night, and seeing no one in the living room and Yun Xinyan not in the bedroom sleeping, he wondered where his wife could be, suddenly hearing the sound of water splashing from the bathroom.
“Tsk tsk, she’s taking a shower, huh?” Ye Tian’s eyes lit up, and he quietly walked over.
Behind the frosted glass of the bathroom, Yun Xinyan’s delicate body was outlined, making Ye Tian’s blood boil.
He knocked on the bathroom door, “Not calling me for a shower is where you went wrong.”
As he spoke, he pushed the door open, and Yun Xinyan, startled, sprang up, quickly covering her private parts, and scolded, “Shameless, get out!”
Hehe, I’ll leave after I’ve washed,” Ye Tian said with a chuckle, glancing over her body, and complimented, “Wife, you have a great figure.”
Yun Xinyan’s face turned bright red, and she scolded, “You men really have thick skins, so annoying.”
Ye Tian didn’t care what she said and simply started a mandarin duck bath, fooling around with her, and they took a bath together.
After drying off and wrapping a towel around himself, he returned to the living room.
Ye Tian opened his mouth to reply, “Hehe, then do you know what the thickest thing in the world is?”
Now it was Yun Xinyan’s turn to be startled, pondering for a moment, she responded, “Could it be a diamond?” The answer couldn’t be that simple, could it.
“Of course, it’s women’s faces!” Ye Tian said cheerily, “Beards are that tough already, and you women still can’t grow them, don’t you think that’s thick?”
“Annoying!” Yun Xinyan raised her little fist, punching Ye Tian’s chest hard, “Calling you out for indirectly insulting me, I’ll hit you, just hit you.”
At this moment, Yun Xinyan had none of the haughty demeanor of a domineering CEO, but completely resembled a wife acting coy with her husband.
In the ensuing time, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan played and frolicked, having a lot of fun, until around eleven o’clock, Yun Xinyan went to bed to sleep.
After Yun Xinyan had fallen asleep, Ye Tian went to the room he usually uses for training and started to practice his breathing, silently cultivating his Cultivation Technique.
Since ancient times, there was the saying of training intensely in summer and winter, constant diligence being vital in cultivation, not a single day should be wasted.
During his training, Ye Tian could clearly feel that the Crystal Ball inside his body was silently operating, each movement emitting a faint energy, nourishing Ye Tian’s bones and muscles and slowly enhancing his strength.
This enhancement pace was slow, but he was improving at all times.
As they say, a mound gathers into a hill; with steady accumulation, it wouldn’t take long for Ye Tian’s power to make substantial progress.
In a remote location near the Crystal Ball inside Ye Tian’s body, an ugly golden bug was being strongly suppressed by the crystal’s energy, motionless, and even nearly showing signs of falling asleep.
This golden bug was the Golden Silkworm Gu.
“Disaster can be a foundation for fortune and vice versa,” Ye Tian reflected with myriad emotions, “The affairs of the world are difficult to predict, fortune and misfortune coexist and transform into each other, mysterious and profound.”
Just like the Golden Silkworm Gu and the Crystal Ball, they were originally meant to harm Ye Tian by his opponents, but even those adversaries could not anticipate that these elements would significantly increase Ye Tian’s strength, greatly aiding him.
The Crystal Ball brought tremendous energy to Ye Tian which made him sincerely happy and even pleasantly surprised.
Continuing at this pace, Ye Tian’s strength was bound to surge forward.
However, the Golden Silkworm Gu inside his body was always a disaster, as if he was carrying a ticking time bomb.
Although the bomb had been suppressed, Ye Tian’s feeling was still very unpleasant.
“If nothing goes wrong, I must make a trip to Miaojiang in a few days.
As long as the enemy is not destroyed, my heart will not be at peace!” Thinking of that weird man with green hair and the green-garbed, green giant Du Bin, Ye Tian felt restless.
All signs indicated that these people were targeting him, using significant resources in their attempts to kill him, yet, they currently posed no threat to his life.
Passively receiving hits was not Ye Tian’s style; taking the initiative was his choice.
Miaojiang, a place filled with mysteries, Ye Tian would have to visit sooner or later; when the time came, it was bound to stir up a storm of blood and wind, causing all of Miaojiang to tremble!
Ye Tian stopped pondering further, feeling everything was under control.
He slowly closed his eyes, formed hand seals, energy sinking deep into his Dantian, and silently began cultivating.
As he breathed in and out, slight energy fluctuations appeared around him.
Meanwhile, all of this was being recorded by a tiny camera in the room, the real-time footage being transmitted directly to Hell King via wireless signals.
In Jiangcheng City, within a secretive upscale residential area.
In a dark room, Hell King was staring intently at the monitor screen, the energy waves around Ye Tian appearing very strong, really strong; this indicated his enhanced strength, something Hell King did not wish to see.
“It’s the Crystal Ball, it must be the Crystal Ball’s doing.”
Hell King had never expected that the Crystal Ball, planned for his revenge strategy, would instead strengthen Ye Tian.
“It looks like everything needs to be moved up!”
Ye Ying stood aside, noticing the worry of the Hell King, “Master, if Ye Tian continues to grow stronger, it will be very disadvantageous for us.
What should we do now?”
The Hell King snorted coldly, a vicious flash in his eyes, “Thinking you can escape from the palm of my hand?
With that, he suddenly raised his right hand, his thumb slicing across his index finger, and with a flick of his fingertip, a drop of crimson blood flew out, landing precisely on the Crystal Bead.
Simultaneously, the Hell King formed hand seals with both hands, a crimson brilliance flashing in his eyes.
His lips parted slightly as he murmured an incantation, the words complex and incomprehensible, a language belonging to no country but found only in ancient texts.
As the spellcasting continued, the Hell King’s entire demeanor became wickedly powerful, his clothes billowing without wind, his aura indescribably terrifying.
Ye Ying witnessed these transformations with eyes filled with both admiration and fear.
The drop of blood hit the Crystal Ball, sizzling like a droplet on a red-hot iron, the brilliance of the Crystal Ball flickering uncertainly.
The drop of blood instantly vanished, silently absorbed into its interior.
After absorbing the blood drop, the originally clear and translucent sphere within the ball suddenly gained a smear of blood-red, eerily enchanting.
The Hell King continued chanting spells, his hands performing rapid symbol changes.
The blood within the Crystal Ball stirred as if awakened, its crimson glow intensifying.
After a moment, the blood-red smear flickered with a bizarre brilliance, strikingly vivid and prominent.
Meanwhile, inside Yun Xinyan’s villa.
Ye Tian, who was meditating with his eyes closed, abruptly opened them—his eyes filled with shock, his forehead glistening with sweat beads, as if he had undergone a tremendous change, his demeanor unsettled.
“It’s the Crystal Ball!”
Originally, Ye Tian was attempting to break through a mystical barrier when a sudden abnormality within his body woke him from his cultivation.
Returning his focus to his Dantian, calming his spirit, Ye Tian began to inspect his own body.
When his spiritual power encountered the Crystal Ball inside him, he was thoroughly shaken.
“Indeed, it’s the Crystal Ball!”
At this very moment, Ye Tian shockingly discovered through his spiritual power that the previously silent Crystal Ball within him had undergone a remarkable transformation.
This change was too sudden and utterly inconceivable.
Somewhere deep down, Ye Tian harbored an undesired premonition.
Inside him, the originally silent rotating Crystal Ball had completely altered in appearance.
Within the delicate and flawless clarity of the Crystal Ball, a sunset-like red appeared out of nowhere—red as fresh blood, red as a demon!
The sudden appearance of the blood-red color caused the Crystal Ball to lose its original purity, instead gaining a bizarre aspect, looking vastly sinister.
Besides, what shook Ye Tian the most was that the Crystal Ball had begun to vibrate.
To know, since the Crystal Ball had entered Ye Tian’s body, it had always been stable, always silently rotating and emanating energy to the outside, never vibrating abnormally.
Yet now, the Crystal Ball began to vibrate, and the magnitude of the vibrations was significant; it wasn’t an exaggeration to describe it as throbbing.
The sudden change in the Crystal Ball left Ye Tian deeply uneasy since this item was inside his own body—if it were to act dangerously, his life would definitely be at risk.
“Why has it suddenly become ?” Ye Tian frowned, puzzled and unsure.
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately activated his power, making contact with the Crystal Ball repeatedly, trying to stabilize it and stop it from erratically thrashing inside him.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian’s efforts failed several times, leaving him no choice but to continue observing.
Although the Crystal Ball exhibited bizarre changes, as of now, it hadn’t engaged in any behavior that posed a threat to him, which was the only relief.
In a gloomy room in Jiang City,
Having recited the final set of spells, the Hell King’s evil brilliance in his eyes peaked and then faded, signaling the successful completion of his spellcasting.
Looking at the slowly throbbing Crystal Ball, the Hell King wore a satisfied expression; no one knew the origins of the Crystal Ball better than he did, nor understood its power more.
“When the blood-red is full, it will be the time for Ye Tian’s soul to depart to the afterlife!
Hahaha!” The Hell King laughed wildly, in a very good mood.
The Crystal Ball floated in front of him, turning and throbbing on its own, the bizarre blood-red within it strikingly vivid and seductive.
If one were to observe closely, they would notice that the blood-red was not static but constantly growing, slowly corroding the space of the Crystal World.
At this rate, before long, the blood-red would fill the entire crystal space, and the Crystal Ball would completely transform into a blood orb!
