Duanmu Lian, with a puzzled face, asked, "Xu Sheng, did you misspeak just now? The side effects of this elixir are so strong."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said seriously, "No! I didn't misspeak, I indeed want you to take these elixirs!"
Zhou Qingruo's brow furrowed, but the next second, she seemed to understand Xu Sheng's meaning and gradually relaxed...
Xu Sheng would never harm them, and he had proposed that they take these two elixirs, which most likely meant he could eliminate the side effects of the elixirs!
Without side effects, the effect of this elixir would be terrifying beyond belief!
It is no exaggeration to say that if the entire Cultivation World became aware of it, it would probably lead to countless sects and families hunting them down!
This was about advancing an entire Great Realm! And without any side effects, if those who had already reached the Saint Realm got their hands on it and took it, wouldn't their Cultivation Level directly leap to the Emperor Realm!
Upon hearing this, hesitation flickered across Duanmu Lian's delicate cheeks...
After a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Sheng, since it's you who're saying this, I trust you!"
Having said that, she took a deep breath, brought the elixir close to her thin lips, ready to swallow it...
But the next second, she felt her head buzz a few times, and the elixir in her hand was already in Xu Sheng's hand...
She rubbed her head with some grievance and said resentfully, "Xu Sheng, why did you hit me? It hurts!"
Xu Sheng, somewhat exasperated, said, "Silly! Who told you to eat the elixir directly? Aren't you really afraid of the side effects?"
Duanmu Lian could be quite shrewd at times but at other times she seemed too naive...
The retorted Duanmu Lian clenched her fist tightly and stared at Xu Sheng with an intense gaze, "Wasn't it you who just told me to take it? Qingruo was watching too. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Isn't that right? Qingruo?"
Zhou Qingruo's amber Beautiful Eyes flickered a few times, and she said indifferently, "Don't ask me, I didn't hear anything..."
Xu Sheng felt a touch of mockery in his heart and shrugged, "You see, I told you, right?"
Duanmu Lian glanced at Xu Sheng, then turned to look at Zhou Qingruo who had betrayed her, and pouted, saying aggrievedly, "You... you guys, hmph! Birds of a feather flock together, actually ganging up to bully me!"
Seeing that the joke had gone far enough, Xu Sheng interrupted, "Alright, alright, don't feel aggrieved. These two elixirs are indeed for you and Qingruo to take, but you need to let me use Divine Power to process them and remove the side effects of the elixirs."
Duanmu Lian turned her head away and huffed, "Hmph... even if you... remove the side effects???"
But when her words reached halfway, her entire expression froze...
The next moment, her sparkling eyes glimmered with a keen light as she stared intently at Xu Sheng...
Her tone was somewhat urgent, "Removing the side effects, doesn't that mean that Qingruo and I can breakthrough to the Saint Realm without any side effects!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "It seems you have finally understood."
In this respect, Zhou Qingruo was more perceptive, almost instantly understanding his thoughts...
Unlike Duanmu Lian, who needed a detailed explanation!
As for the almost asleep Cloud Devouring Beast, when it heard what seemed like an unbelievable conversation, it suddenly opened its eyes...
It inwardly exclaimed in shock, "What is this Divine Power this man speaks of?! To have the ability to purify the effects of an elixir!"
Soon, it saw what this so-called "Divine Power" was!
Xu Sheng's ink-colored pupils concentrated as he gently tossed his hand, and the two elixirs, emitting an enchanting aura, hung suspended midair...
The next moment, he whispered quietly, "Creation Divine Power!"
A tremor-inducing black destructive power burst forth from his body. Soon after, a gentle, faint green Life Force that made one yearn for closeness also emerged...
Under Xu Sheng's control, these two forces slowly merged together, forming the Creation Divine Power that made the entire space exude an intense, suffocating presence!
Not only that, but the sky above, which should have been bright, was suddenly filled with dense Black Mist that perfectly concealed it, and even the ground shook under the envelopment of this power, with violent winds blowing incessantly, incredibly impressive!
The Cloud Devouring Beast's eyes stared fixedly at the anomaly in the sky, and it muttered in a daze, "What... What kind of power is this?? Even the heavens and the earth feel fear!! Can someone truly control this power?"
Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo by his side once again evidenced colors of astonishment in their eyes...
They had thought that Xu Sheng's limit was the extent they had seen before, but now it seemed that his power was hundreds of times stronger than they had imagined!!!
Perhaps even the vaunted Saint Realm, Emperor Realm, were nothing but ants that could be exterminated with a flick of his wrist in his presence.
Xu Sheng did not pay attention to Zhou Qingruo and her companion's actions but focused on the two elixirs floating in midair...
He commanded sharply, "Go!"
As the words were spoken, the surging Creation Divine Power quietly enveloped the two elixirs, then slowly began to penetrate them, visibly clearing the impurities inside at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Within a matter of seconds, the two elixirs were more crystalline and translucent than before, and to call them elixirs was almost insufficient; they were more akin to jade!
As the Creation Divine Power dissipated, Xu Sheng beckoned the two elixirs hovering in the air, drawing them before him...
After taking them in hand, he passed them to Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian beside him, smiling lightly, "Try them, if all goes well, there might be other surprises."
Duanmu Lian examined the elixir in her hand, smooth as jade, and said, "Xu Sheng, you've made this elixir look so beautiful, I almost can't bear to take it!"
By her side, Zhou Qingruo's Beautiful Eyes also held a hint of reluctance as she rarely agreed, "Yes!"
What woman could ever dismissively consume such a work of art?
Seeing the elixirs in Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo's hands, the Cloud Devouring Beast couldn't help but feel envious, internally cursing, "Damn it!! If you're not going to eat them, give them to me! Aaargh!!"
Otherwise, should it try to snatch one for itself?
If it could obtain one, maybe it could...
But just thinking of the power Xu Sheng had shown, power that made even the heavens and the earth shrink back in fear, its bold aspirations deflated...
To be slain for a moment's vainglory was not the choice of a clever Monster Beast like itself!
Xu Sheng said indifferently, "No matter how beautiful this elixir is, its value must be reflected for it to be truly precious, right?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian pursed her lips and finally, with great reluctance, placed it in her mouth and swallowed...
Zhou Qingruo, knowing it was impossible to refute Xu Sheng, also swallowed hers...
Just a few seconds later!
They felt a violent power releasing incessantly from within their bellies...
