Wang Baole blinked and looked at the little black fish. The little black fish nuzzled against his hand, then gritted its teeth and glared at Little Fifth and Little Donkey. After a moment of silence, Wang Baole called out to Chen Qingzi with his mind.

“Senior Brother…”

Inside the central furnace, Chen Qingzi really didn’t want to say anything. But since his little junior brother had called, he had to answer. His helpless voice echoed in Wang Baole’s mind.

“What’s up?”

Hearing his senior brother’s response, Wang Baole instantly perked up and sent another voice transmission.

“Senior Brother, is this thing really our Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao? It’s too stupid. All it can think of is food… with this sort of mentality, won’t it be easily deceived in the future?”

Chen Qingzi massaged his forehead and sighed.

“It’s still young… according to your Federation, it would be considered a four-year-old child. How smart do you expect a four-year-old to be? At that age, of course the only thing it thinks about is food…

“You… stop bullying it now, alright?” Chen Qingzi didn’t want to keep speaking. Withdrawing his divine will, he shook his head and continued refining Divine Emperor Split Moon.

Wang Baole coughed dryly. In truth, he felt a little guilty, as if he were tricking a small child into handing over their beloved candy.

“Little Fifth, Little Donkey, you guys have gone too far!” Wang Baole glared at the pair and delivered another kick, making Little Fifth and Little Donkey feel even more aggrieved. They were cursing Wang Baole viciously in their hearts, but didn’t dare to show it on their faces.

Wang Baole knew exactly what they were thinking, so he just tossed them back into his storage pouch with a wave of his hand. Out of sight, out of mind. This way, he wouldn’t be reminded that the one who took the biggest bite of the fish… was himself.

As for the little black fish, it felt even more emotional. When it looked at Wang Baole, its eyes were full of intimacy, and it even happily flew a few circles around his body.

‘This kid…’ Wang Baole’s expression was strange. After clearing his throat, a gentle smile appeared on his face and he spoke softly.

“Little Fishie^[1], let’s go. Brother will bring you to eat delicious food.”

When it heard Wang Baole’s words, the little black fish became excited and circled Wang Baole even faster. Wang Baole blinked before speaking again.

“Little Fishie, do you know where I can find more giant vortexes?” Wang Baole figured that the little black fish must be more familiar with this place than he was. He had been doing his best to locate giant vortexes, but it had already been a long time since the last one. Thus, he decided to try asking the little black fish.

The little black fish paused and thought for a moment, then its eyes lit up. It glanced at Wang Baole and suddenly started to expand. Watching the black fish’s transformation, Wang Baole’s breathing suddenly grew heavy. The black fish was now larger than even the giant vortexes which he had absorbed before, causing his eyes to shine with excitement.

“You know the location of a vortex that big?”

The giant black fish nodded once before returning to its normal size. It then sped into the distance, as if leading the way, and Wang Baole immediately followed.

Since his senior brother didn’t want him to swallow deathly aura anymore, then he could only use the vortexes to attract the green wisps. Plus, the fragmented natural laws inside the vortexes could feed his intrinsic scabbard, which would in turn release power that strengthened his fleshly body.

As for the green wisps, even when Wang Baole ate them raw, they almost didn’t do anything. At most, they tasted pretty good. But after entering his stomach, they would still end up being absorbed by his intrinsic scabbard.

Thus, in the end, Wang Baole felt that it was best for him to find more vortexes. Now, under the black fish’s lead, he sped rapidly throughout the starry sky. However, maybe the vortex was too far away, because the little black fish seemed to feel that Wang Baole was too slow.

After pausing for a moment, the little black fish called out to Wang Baole, then rolled around for a while. If it were anyone else, they might not understand what it was saying, but Wang Baole had many years of experience dealing with Little Donkey. Thus, he was able to somewhat understand the little fish.

“You want me to ride you?” As soon as Wang Baole asked, the little black fish bobbed its head up and down.

“Good Fishie!” Wang Baole laughed and instantly jumped onto the little black fish’s back as it suddenly expanded several times over. Then, the black fish charged forward at a speed dozens of times faster than before, In the blink of an eye, as if piercing through space itself… Wang Baole found himself in another location, a place with an incredible concentration of deathly aura!

There was an unbelievably huge vortex in front of him. This vortex was even bigger than what the little black fish had shown him, and over ten times the size of the biggest vortex Wang Baole had previously absorbed.

Just looking at it, Wang Baole couldn’t see the end. Moreover, there was no one else here, making him extremely excited.

Wang Baole quickly released his divine sense to scan the area. After a while, his eyes flickered with the light of understanding.

This place was part of the gray region, but also not. It fell within the gray region’s boundaries, but it was actually more like a separate spatial pocket.

Combined with the astonishing vortex in front of him, Wang Baole could vaguely guess what had happened here. The almighty being who had died and created this vortex must have had a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering cultivation base that surpassed ordinary Star Domain Realm Almighties. Thus, when they died, the void shattered and this special space had been created.

And because of this, no cultivator from the myriad factions had been able to discover this place, leaving it unoccupied until now.

In fact, without the little black fish leading the way, even Wang Baole himself would most likely not have been able to make his way here.

“Rich! I’m rich!”

Wang Baole was so excited that his whole body trembled. He quickly leapt off the black fish’s back and rushed into the vortex. At the same time, he felt a force of repulsion formed from the fragmented natural laws rushing toward him.

But the more this was the case, the more excited Wang Baole became. The intrinsic scabbard in his body rumbled and absorbed the fragmented natural laws at full power. Meanwhile, Wang Baole slowly entered the vortex, resisting the repulsive force and gradually making his way to the center. Once there, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes in meditation, focusing everything on his intrinsic scabbard.

His intrinsic scabbard was just as excited as he was. Shining with a bloody light, it ravenously absorbed huge amounts of fragmented natural laws.

Time passed slowly, and the astonishing amount of fragmented natural laws in the vortex gradually poured into Wang Baole’s intrinsic scabbard. 10%, 20%, 30%…

The intrinsic scabbard had turned completely purple and even seemed on its way to turning black. The aura contained within grew more and more terrifying.

Due to the reduction in the vortex’s fragmented natural laws, even the surrounding space began to crack. A huge number of green wisps quickly converged on the spot, instantly reaching tens of thousands and not slowing down at all.

The little black fish was also incredibly excited. It looked at the green wisps with shining eyes, gulping repeatedly as if swallowing saliva. Meanwhile, Little Donkey and Little Fifth had sneaked out of the storage pouch again, staring at the green wisps and drooling uncontrollably.

As three burning gazes watched the green wisps, Wang Baole continued absorbing the vortex’s fragmented natural laws. 30%, 40%… 70%, 80%, 90%…

Rumbling sounds filled the void, and the number of green wisps reached 160,000. There were still more in the distance, probably numbering at least 200,000.

By now, more than half of Wang Baole’s intrinsic scabbard was dyed a deep black. Then… when Wang Baole absorbed the last of the vortex’s fragmented natural laws, a deafening boom suddenly echoed in all directions, even spreading beyond the bounds of the gray region.

At that moment, the vortex Wang Baole was sitting in suddenly turned into a massive black hole, causing a powerful suction force to appear in the surroundings. The number of green wisps instantly rose to 300,000, all pouncing on Wang Baole.

Because the influx of green wisps was too rapid, Wang Baole’s whole body was trembling.

Meanwhile, outside the gray region, the fleet of Never-Ending Clan battleships hiding above simultaneously trembled. They showed signs of withering, as if their essence was being sucked out rapidly!

Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom was startled by this scene. Narrowing his eyes, he carefully studied the gray region below him. Although he couldn’t see what was happening, he could clearly sense that the amount of deathly aura had decreased. Thus, he snorted coldly.

“Is this its dying struggle? Men, give me more!!”
