Chapter 652: The Overpowered Cheating of the Heavenly Dao!
Chapter 652: The Overpowered Cheating of the Heavenly Dao!
Seven days had passed in the blink of an eye!
Within tens of millions of acres of land, everything edible had been swept clean.
The previously stocked supplies of food had also been depleted.
And now, there was only one stick of incense left before the famine and drought of starvation.
"Hoo... the last Immortal Leaping Wall!" At this moment, even Little Culinary Master had finished the last Immortal Leaping Wall.
Barely managing to scrape through, all the ingredients were completely used up, just enough to barely sustain the over five million ancient beings for this final stick of incense.
"It seems that this famine and drought of starvation is finally over!" He Yiming raised his head and thought to himself.
"This famine and drought of starvation turned out to be so thrilling! There was danger without any real risk!"
"Of course, after all, we had stored so much food!"
"Damn, we've eaten up so much food, ah! Well, when we return, we'll have to gather some snacks again! I wonder if there are any Deep Sea Kings in the Chaotic Star Sea, I should catch a few of them!"
...
Players chatted while relaxing, feeling a bit relieved.
But just at this moment...
An anomaly occurred!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!" In the sky, the immensely huge Six-Four-Seven Sun suddenly underwent a strange change. It slowly distorted and seemed to exhibit overlapping shadows!
"!" He Yiming's expression turned serious.
It's here!
This famine and drought of starvation, unexpectedly underwent another anomaly during the last stick of incense!
Damn, it's poisonous!
"Boom!" The next moment, one sun suddenly transformed into...
Two suns!
"Damn it!"
"The sun turned into two! Is the Heavenly Dao unable to handle it?"
"Damn, the Heavenly Dao is cheating! Quick, shut down the Heavenly Dao system, ban this Heavenly Dao guy!"
...
Players were dumbstruck, and soon an uproar spread.
Damn, I've managed to endure till now, but now this Heavenly Dao guy has suddenly started cheating after dragging it on for a few days?
The sun...
Can it actually split into two?
Is this even possible?
"I thought I was already shameless enough, but I didn't expect the Heavenly Dao to be even more shameless than me!"
"The last stick of incense, and it's cheating!"
"Damn, what do we do now, there's nothing left to eat!"
...
Many players panicked and then turned to look at the ancient beings.
As expected, the ancient beings had already finished the last Immortal Leaping Wall. Originally, with just one sun, it would have been enough to last the duration of a stick of incense!
However, now it had become two suns, burning at twice the rate!
As a result, many ancient beings started to falter.
"So hungry..."
"I can't move anymore..."
"Even though the benefactors have done so much for us, I can't hold on... sob, sob... I'm letting down our benefactors!"
...
One by one, the ancient beings collapsed to the ground. Their bodies, which had become slightly plumper from eating Immortal Leaping Wall, began to thin rapidly.
Their skin gradually turned a waxy yellow, their faces paled, their eyes lost their luster, and some of the weaker elderly had started to feel their consciousness becoming hazy, nearing unconsciousness.
"Damn it, what should we do now?" Even Little Culinary Master was helpless, only able to watch helplessly.
All the ingredients were used up; even if Little Culinary Master did his best, there was nothing he could do!
"I can't stimulate it anymore, the fertility of the fields has been exhausted!" The Farming Lord of the Thousand Hands, again exerting his mighty power, attempted to stimulate the fields, but no matter which field, they were no longer capable of producing any crops.
Although some players still had some food in their hands, giving that food to the ancient beings wouldn't be very useful.
The rate of consumption was faster than the rate of eating; it was practically useless.
"Disciples..." Just as players were in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do, a voice rang out!
It was He Yiming.
"In these seven days, you've all done very well! From here on out, leave it to me!!!" He Yiming looked up at the two suns, which represented the famine and drought of starvation.
The consumption rate of these two suns was too astonishing!
The players had exhausted all their methods!
For this last stick of incense time, they could only rely on themselves!
"Qing Emperor Eternal Body!!!" He Yiming's thoughts moved.
"Boom!!!" The hundred-thousand-meter tall ancient trees once again appeared!
Only this time, these towering ancient trees seemed a bit insubstantial; clearly, He Yiming hadn't fully recovered yet.
However, he didn't have time to worry about that now.
"Ancient beings, stand up!"
"The Heavenly Dao wants you dead!"
"I, He Yiming, want you to live!"
...
With He Yiming's low roar, numerous green fruits condensed within the hundred-thousand-meter tall ancient trees.
One by one, these green fruits continuously fell from the sky and landed in front of every ancient being.
"Eat it and survive!!!" He Yiming's voice resounded once more between heaven and earth.
All the ancient beings were stunned, and their instincts told them that these green fruits were probably the source of He Yiming's power!
If they ate them, they would probably be consuming He Yiming's source of power!
However...
As they looked at He Yiming's figure radiating endless green light, tears silently streamed down the faces of all the ancient beings. They knelt down on the ground, picked up the green fruits, and ate them.
They ate them!
With each breath!
Every time, five million green fruits continuously fell and were consumed by the ancient beings. After each breath, He Yiming's aura weakened by a bit.
He Yiming's cultivation and realm started to diminish continuously, and the realm of his Qing Emperor Eternal Body began to weaken from Nascent Soul to the pinnacle of Heavenly Pill.
Even this, not just a normal consumption, but rather a burning like a fire, constantly consuming!
After a quarter of a stick of incense, He Yiming's cultivation dropped to the later stage of Heavenly Pill!
The realm of his Qing Emperor Eternal Body plummeted from Yuan Infant back to the peak of Heavenly Pill!
This scene was visible even to the players!
"He Yiming..." Mu Xueying was astonished. He Yiming was using his own source of power to sustain all the ancient beings!
At this rate of consumption, even if he depleted all of his power, it wouldn't be enough!
Once his cultivation and realm were exhausted, he would have to continue to maintain...
By burning his lifespan!
"He Yiming, you can't die here!" Just as Mu Xueying was about to intervene and stop He Yiming, she suddenly froze.
Wang Lufei took a step forward, rose into the air, and sat cross-legged beside He Yiming.
"Boom!" The next moment, a three-thousand-meter-tall green ancient tree, relatively much smaller, soared into the sky.
"Wang Lufei, doing this will cause your cultivation to
fall to the pinnacle of Heavenly Pill!" He Yiming slowly began to speak.
This time, He Yiming didn't intend to issue a task. So, it could be said that this was completely an impulsive action by He Yiming alone.
Consuming his own cultivation and realm to help the ancient beings, was it worth it?
If it was just for the sake of the system's tasks, it didn't seem worth it!
However, over these days, He Yiming had watched these ancient beings, felt their laughter and joy, witnessed their perseverance, and saw the young boy Yi who had carried his grandfather even when being pursued by the floodwaters of the primordial era!
Logic told He Yiming that he shouldn't do this!
But He Yiming's heart told him...
Just let himself be impulsive this one time!
"Brother Lufei is going up..."
"Brother Lufei's cultivation is dropping all the way!" Observing the situation, many players hesitated.
However, some players didn't hesitate at all.
"Brother Lufei, no matter where you go, I'll follow you!" Emperor Zoro soared into the air, and cross-legged sat beside Wang Lufei.
"Count me in, handsome Shanshan!" Handsome Shanshan rose into the air, skillfully taking her seat next to Wang Lufei.
"Since Brother He has stepped forward, how can I, the Strongest Fire Mage Da Yan, not join in?" The strongest fire mage in the Great Flame, Da Yan, laughed heartily.
"Da Yan, you've also joined the fray, how can I not come?" The number one ice mage in the national server, with an arrogant tone, disdainfully spoke.
Next, Xingchen, Bai Zhebuxiang, Xiong Jianqiang, and a group of veteran players from the first and second tests also rose into the air, followed by the veteran players from the third test.
This scene instantly shocked the players of the third test.
"This..." The Demon Race players were all dumbfounded, with wide-open mouths!
Without a task, going up meant offering a freebie! He was losing his cultivation and realm for nothing, there was no gain!
"Damn it!"
But just at this moment, the third test Demon Race players were stunned, their mouths agape, unable to find words.
Even the first and second test players like Wang Lufei were all utterly bewildered.
"???" He Yiming was also stunned.
Because the scene that unfolded before him was unbelievably astonishing!
