Chapter 106: A Major Crisis Has Occurred

The opportunity for the Spirit Pool baptism was exceedingly precious. Even more so for those outside the royal family. If Jun Wushuang couldn’t obtain even a single drop of the spiritual liquid, this trip would have been in vain. Such a chance would be utterly wasted. It was a cruel blow to the heart!

The Third Prince was a formidable figure at the Marquis Realm. With him blocking the way, it was impossible for Jun Wushuang to cross and enter the Spirit Pool.

At this moment, the other princes and princesses sneered coldly at the scene.

“Ants should know their place. This is a royal opportunity—how could we let an outsider have it?”

“A country bumpkin dares to ride over us? Even the Four Heavenly Talents wouldn’t dare act so brazenly in front of us. Who do you think you are?”

“A lowly commoner, flaunting yourself before us? We could crush you a hundred times with just a flick of a finger. You’re way out of your depth playing with us!”

As the princes and princesses stepped into the Spirit Pool, they spat out their scornful words. Jun Wushuang’s rejection of the Crown Prince, and his strikes against the Fifth and Third Princes, were direct affronts to the royal family’s dignity. Naturally, all the princes and princesses united in hostility, treating Jun Wushuang as a thorn in their side.

“Kid, if you want the spiritual liquid, it’s not impossible. Kneel, bow your head in apology, crawl under my legs, and I might give you a little. Otherwise, you can just leave from where you came!”

The Fifth Prince pointed at Jun Wushuang arrogantly, forgetting the pain he had endured just moments before.

“The Fifth Prince speaks the truth. Kneel, admit your mistake, crawl under us, and we’ll mercifully grant you some spiritual liquid. Otherwise, just get lost!”

The Third Prince grinned mockingly, his eyes gleaming with a desire to avenge his earlier humiliation.

“A bunch of fools,” Jun Wushuang smiled lightly, unprovoked by their taunts.

Although Grand Eunuch Sun had left, his spiritual presence still enveloped this place. Jun Wushuang was determined not to lose this chance for the Spirit Pool baptism.

As for the Third and Fifth Princes, their time to weep would come soon enough.

Ignoring everyone, Jun Wushuang strode straight to a corner. This was where the main vein of the spiritual energy lay. Even without the Spirit Pool, the concentration of spiritual energy here was far superior to other places.

For Jun Wushuang, entering the Spirit Pool itself was inconsequential. His true goal was the entire spiritual vein.

“Hmph, ignorant country bumpkin,” the faces of the Third and Fifth Princes darkened as they saw Jun Wushuang retreat to the corner. Yet, bound by Grand Eunuch Sun’s presence, they dared not make a move against him.

“Forget about him. As long as he doesn’t enter the Spirit Pool, how much spiritual energy can he absorb? Once we leave here, we’ll find a chance to deal with him properly,” the Third Prince said, withdrawing his gaze and entering the Spirit Pool with the Fifth Prince.

The Spirit Pool could only be replenished every three months. They were not about to miss this baptism opportunity.

As for Jun Wushuang, in their eyes, success meant merely preventing him from entering the Spirit Pool.

“My demonic liquid already has nine hundred drops, yet it’s still far from enough,” Jun Wushuang sat cross-legged, looking inward.

Within his dantian, the pitch-black demonic liquid numbered nine hundred drops, providing him with immense demonic energy. This was the fruit of his diligent cultivation over recent months.

But the external spiritual energy was too thin, nowhere near the potency of a mid-grade spiritual vein.

The Spirit Pool baptism opportunity was incredibly rare, and Jun Wushuang knew he probably wouldn’t have a second chance.

Thus, before arriving, he had already made a decision: to drain the entire spiritual vein.

He had warned Mo Xingyun in advance about the consequences. It should be manageable.

“Anomaly: Death Black Hole!”

Jun Wushuang activated his Devouring Demonic Body, and instantly a ten-meter-wide black hole appeared above his head.

At this moment, the Third Prince and others were still absorbing spiritual liquid, unaware of the black hole’s presence.

“Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique!”

Jun Wushuang activated the technique, and every pore on his body emitted a terrifying devouring force.

Whoosh!

In an instant, boundless spiritual energy was drawn in, transforming into a torrent converging from all directions toward Jun Wushuang.

His body became like a bottomless black hole, able to absorb endless amounts of spiritual energy.

Splash!

Soon, the Spirit Pool was affected.

Spiritual liquid uncontrollably surged upward, forming streams no thicker than a finger, rushing toward Jun Wushuang.

“What’s happening?”

This sudden change immediately caught the attention of the Third Prince and others.

They had undergone many Spirit Pool baptisms but had never encountered such a phenomenon.

“Look! The spiritual energy and liquid are all rushing toward that country bumpkin. He must be behind this!”

Soon, everyone noticed the truth.

More spiritual liquid surged from the pool, forming countless streams converging like rivers into the sea, all flowing toward Jun Wushuang.

“No matter what tricks he’s trying, we must stop him. I said not a single drop will be given to him!” The Third Prince’s face darkened as he acted swiftly to intercept the devouring force.

Yet, as soon as he moved, he found his own spiritual energy uncontrollably draining away, merging with the ambient spiritual energy, also flowing toward Jun Wushuang.

“Damn it! What is he doing?” The Third Prince’s expression changed drastically. Meanwhile, the Fifth Prince and others also noticed their spiritual energy draining uncontrollably.

At this rate, not only would the spiritual vein’s energy be sucked dry, but their internal spiritual energy would be completely devoured.

“I cannot let him succeed. Even if Grand Eunuch Sun punishes me, I must stop him!” The Third Prince’s fury erupted. With a swift motion, he drew a golden spear from his storage ring.

Whoosh!

The spear flew like a dragon, carrying a chilling killing intent, thrusting toward Jun Wushuang.

With his Marquis Realm strength, a single strike would either kill or grievously wound Jun Wushuang.

Huff!

At that moment, the devouring force erupted with triple its previous intensity.

The Third Prince staggered, stumbling to the ground in defeat.

The invisible devouring force descended, instantly absorbing the boundless spiritual energy within the Third Prince’s body.

Not just the Third Prince, but the Fifth Prince and others suffered the same fate.

In an instant, several princes and princesses were drained dry, collapsing powerless.

Crash!

Meanwhile, the spiritual liquid within the pool surged out even faster, being absorbed by Jun Wushuang.

Not only the Spirit Pool, but the underground spiritual energy was rapidly devoured by him.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared in an instant—it was Grand Eunuch Sun.

His spiritual presence still shrouded the area, preventing accidents.

“How terrifying the devouring power is!” Grand Eunuch Sun sensed the overwhelming force and fixed his gaze on Jun Wushuang.

To him, Jun Wushuang had become a black hole, seemingly ready to consume everything.

“What? Even my spiritual energy is being devoured!”

Grand Eunuch Sun tried to intervene and stop Jun Wushuang’s devouring, but found his own spiritual energy uncontrollably draining away.

He glanced at the collapsed princes and princesses with a grave expression.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, he swiftly led the incapacitated princes and princesses out of the underground.

Yet, his mood was heavy.

Something serious was happening!
