Chapter 2342  Reaction of All Factions! Absorb and Refine! (3)

Moreover, despite being a formidable race not to be trifled with, the Xukun Clan suffered from an exceedingly low population due to certain unique reasons, a disadvantage compared to the Heishan Royal Clan.

"And Han Zhu, I want him dead!" The young man declared with hatred in his voice. "If it weren"t for him, I would never have lost those five eternal-stage viscera."

"Gan!" Elder Hui said in a deep voice.

The young man froze. It was rare for Elder Hui to address him with such gravity.

"You are the pride of our Heishan Royal Clan. We have great expectations for you. A single defeat means nothing, but I hope you will not be blinded by immediate failures. Your vision must be broad. There are many talents in this universe. Even if you lose this opportunity, there will always be another, perhaps even more powerful," Elder Hui spoke slowly.

The expression of the young man s.h.i.+fted continuously, like colors swirling in a dye workshop. After a moment, his gaze hardened, and he said, "Elder Hui, I understand."

"It"s good that you do." Elder Hui nodded. He continued, "However since Han Zhu has meddled with our affairs, it"s only natural to eliminate him directly. As for that Councilor w.a.n.g Teng, he can be spared to serve as your opponent. We"ll just teach him a lesson this time."

"Thank you, Elder Hui!" The youth was overjoyed.

Although he had accepted Elder Hui"s words, his hatred towards w.a.n.g Teng and "Han Zhu" remained unabated. Now, hearing that Elder Hui planned to avenge him, he was naturally thrilled.

"Don"t rush. Let"s wait until this w.a.n.g Teng emerges," Elder Hui said calmly.

…

Within the ancestral land, after everyone had departed, w.a.n.g Teng returned to the summit of the Five Elements Mountains.

Or rather, he never truly left.

After absorbing the five eternal-stage viscera, his body pulsed with raging energy, rendering him unable to wander freely.

Thus, he merely hid away until others had departed, then reappeared atop the Five Elements Mountains.

At this moment, he was seated cross-legged on one of the summits. Cracks littered the surroundings, remnants of the eternal-stage origin beasts" appearance.

w.a.n.g Teng"s expression was grave, his eyes tightly shut. This was but a clone. His true self had departed with the martial warriors of the five major families.

Now, his task was to switch between his true self and this clone.

Ordinarily, such a feat would be impossible for normal cloning techniques. However, w.a.n.g Teng had left a small Devour s.p.a.ce within this projection.

Through this s.p.a.ce, he could facilitate the transfer between his true form and the clone. Since discovering this advantage, w.a.n.g Teng had been keenly observing its potential uses, and now it proved invaluable.

His main form had already found a quiet room to await the switch. The clone only needed to communicate with the main form to complete the transfer.

Swoos.h.!.+

In an instant, it seemed as though the cross-legged clone atop the mountain underwent a fleeting distortion, then resumed its serene posture as if nothing had occurred.

To any onlooker, it would be nearly impossible to discern the change.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "The absorption of these five eternal-stage viscera still requires the presence of my main form. The clone alone cannot accomplish everything."

"There are no major problems with the five major families. I believe they won"t make things difficult for me. My clone is enough to deal with them."

w.a.n.g Teng as he closed his eyes once more, immersing himself in the Devour s.p.a.ce.

Five dense orbs of light floated within the Devour s.p.a.ce, emitting terrifying and tumultuous energy that swept through the entire expanse.

"Not staying quiet, are you?"

w.a.n.g Teng snorted coldly, then activated the Five-Element Divine Physique.

A wave of familiar energy emanated from within him, calming the five orbs surprisingly.

"Absorb!"

w.a.n.g Teng commanded sternly. The five orbs erupted with radiant divine light, forming five vortexes of Force that emitted powerful suction.

The orbs stirred once more, seemingly unwilling to be absorbed.

However, they resided within w.a.n.g Teng"s Devour s.p.a.ce. Every strand of energy was irresistibly drawn into him, merging with his body and coursing through his five viscera.

In an instant, w.a.n.g Teng felt his five viscera undergoing a profound transformation as if being nurtured and purified in indescribable ways.
