Yang Zhai started the procedure that was needed to advance to the Over stage. A black vortex had appeared already around his abdomen.
A black vortex had also appeared on Dij Tou's abdomen. Yang Zhai had also thrown a very small amount of blood of Dij Tou in his own black vortex.
There were some rank 2 plants placed around Yang Zhai, with four mid grade essence stones. A rank 2 peak stage needed 48 low grade essence stones to fill up their aperture with a 100 percent essence water limit.
But Yang Zhai had taken 10 mid grade essence stones from the manager, Jun Seo.
He had only taken 10 mid grade essence stones because he only needed these much, and he also did not want to force the manager into taking heavy measures against him.
Even four mid grade stones were more than enough for him to help him advance to the rank 2 Over stage. He had taken four essence stones out just as a precautionary measure.
During the cultivation absorption, Dij Tou's body was convulsing non-stop.
Yang Zhai also used five spirit stones. It was because the first four spirit stones broke.
Dij Tou still managed to reject the spirit stones two times even in his unconscious state. Yet, it was not enough. Yang Zhai stood up and injured Dij Tou a little more.
Not just that, he also used Red poison on Dij Tou's right leg. Of course, it could not make Dij Tou feel pain, but it could lessen Dij Tou's energy and stamina. Even after this, Dij Tou still managed to reject the spirit stones two more times. However, on the fifth try, Yang Zhai succeeded.
One and a half hour later,
The process was halfway through when Yang Zhai saw that Dij Tou slowly opened his eyes.
There was a distance of two meters between Dij Tou and Yang Zhai.
AAAAA!!!
"Where… am I? And…why am I feeling so much pain? " Dij Tou looked at the surroundings and saw nothing but walls, except for Yang Zhai.
It was to be expected, after all, they were in a closed pit.
Dij Tou was in a lot of pain because of his cultivation being extracted.
"Why did…you lied to me? What…did…I do to you? What about my family?" Dij Tou was speaking with difficulty. He tried to move his hands to touch the ground, but could not do that. He wanted to stand up, but could also not do that.
Dij Tou was Yang Zhai's friend in his previous life.
When the war broke out because of Jun Nie, Yang Zhai had once fought together with Dij Tou against the Ma clan.
They helped each other, and became best friends. They shared many secrets with each other, they even revealed their pasts to each other. This was how Yang Zhai knew so much about Dij Tou.
Yang Zhai did not get closer to Dij Tou when Dij Tou woke up. Dij Tou also had long-range attacks, and Yang Zhai knew these methods clearly.
If Dij Tou manages to focus and put in enough strength to activate his methods, he might be able to injure Yang Zhai heavily. It was because Yang Zhai was at his most sensitive moment right now.
Even a mortal could kill Yang Zhai if they manage to throw something dangerous in his black vortex, even a normal stone could kill Yang Zhai right now.
When someone throws something in a cultivator's black vortex, that thing could not be pulled out of the black vortex, except if that thing was made of spiritual energy.
If someone threw a rock in his black vortex, it would disappear. When Yang Zhai closes his black vortex, this rock would reappear somewhere in his body. If his luck was good, it would not appear in his heart and his brain.
But, if this rock appears in his brain, then Yang Zhai would die without any exception.
"Huh, brother Dij, I did not lie to you. I know your family very clearly, and let me tell you, if you try something, then I will make sure to torture them before killing them." Yang Zhai stopped for a while before continuing,
"But, if you let me do what I want to do, silently, then I might spare them. Think about it before acting."
There was a little chance that Dij Tou could do anything now, but a little chance was still a chance, even a 1 percent chance meant that there was a chance of something unexpected happening.
"You scoundr*l…, AAAAAAAAA!!!" Dij Tou tried to shout at Yang Zhai, but felt extreme pain travel through his body because of his condition and the cultivation absorption process.
Yang Zhai continued the absorption. He could see the helplessness in Dij Tou's eyes. A fear of losing everything was also in his eyes.
Yang Zhai took the rank 2 plants and began to throw them into his black vortex.
The Blue Gem was already in his black vortex.
After two more hours,
Yang Zhai's aperture began to change colors. His essence water also began to increase in limit and was about to reach a hundred percent again.
There was not much difference in the process to reach rank 2 Over stage from when he reached rank 1 Over stage, except for the plants and their ranks that he threw in the black vortex.
"You, w, will die…a ter…rible death." Dij Tou lost consciousness after saying this and the movement in his body disappeared. He was dead.
Like Ha Kun, Dij Tou also did not die because of his cultivation extraction, but because of extreme pain.
Another orange line appeared in Yang Zhai's aperture, summing up to a total of five orange lines. His aperture walls also turned orange, but not his essence water, it remained transparent.
If he wanted to, he could get the essence of five bulls now. Unfortunately, his body was not strong enough to endure this much strength.
He would have to make his muscles, bones, veins, and skin strong enough to endure this essence.
Yang Zhai stood up and checked Dij Tou's body first and confirmed that Dij Tou was already dead, after that, he sat down and rested a little.
