Chapter 1106: Boss, Don’t Get Excited!
“Swish…”
Another ten thousand Yuan Stones were tossed in, and once again a burst of light emerged. It was the energy of the Yuan Stones being consumed and released.
On the ground, there was already a thick layer of powdered dust, all remnants of Yuan Stones.
At this point, over twenty thousand Yuan Stones had been placed into the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement, but there was still no response. No matter how Xi Wuqing tried to activate the formation plate in his hand, he couldn’t initiate the operation of the entire Fantastic Gate Soul Realm.
“Still not enough!”
Su Yi gritted his teeth and took out a considerable amount of Yuan Stones in several installments.
One time, two times, three times…
After the fifth time, a total of over seventy thousand Yuan Stones were invested, and Su Yi felt his heart trembling, experiencing extreme heartache.
However, the energy from the over seventy thousand Yuan Stones was completely devoured by the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement, yet it still didn’t cause any changes in the surroundings.
Su Yi and Su Xiaoshuai were both stunned by this!
“It’s unbelievable. With so many two-star Yuan Stones, there isn’t even a slight movement. This is unreasonable!”
Xi Wuqing furrowed his brow, repeatedly studying the formation plate in his hand, but could not detect any clues. The entire Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement showed no reaction.
“Let’s gather up to one hundred thousand Yuan Stones first. Who knows, maybe it will work!”
Su Yi thought to himself, enduring the feeling of heartache, and increased the number of Yuan Stones invested to one hundred thousand.
But cruelly, everything remained the same!
“Boss, could it be that the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm engraved in this formation plate is fake?”
Su Xiaoshuai swallowed some saliva and stared at Su Yi as he spoke.
He also found it unbelievable. He had thought that Su Yi was too stingy, but now, even with a hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones, there was no reaction at all. This made Su Xiaoshuai question it.
A hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones, if converted to one-star Yuan Stones, would be ten million. Ten million—this was not a small amount!
“It can’t be fake!”
Su Yi shook his head and said, “Before I obtained this formation disk, I once got trapped in this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm. It was very dangerous, so I am certain that this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm is functional.”
Su Yi said this without elaborating further.
Deep down, Su Yi knew that the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement definitely had no issues. Otherwise, his master, the Demon Emperor, would have informed him.
If something from the Divine Demonic Sect had such simple problems, would it still be considered an artifact from the Divine Demonic Sect?
“Is that so?”
Xi Wuqing was originally doubtful, but when he heard Su Yi’s words, he felt relieved and said, “That can only mean that this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm is even more terrifying than I imagined. Maybe it will take another 100,000 Yuan Stones to activate it! But it’s also possible that if you invest a few more Yuan Stones, it can be activated! I can’t say for certain which scenario is correct, so it’s up to you to decide whether to continue testing or not.”
Xi Wuqing spoke seriously, knowing this was a huge investment that might deplete all the Yuan Stones Su Yi possessed and still not yield much effect.
But at the same time, perhaps with a little more effort, they could witness the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement in action.
“I refuse to accept this!”
Su Yi clenched his teeth tightly and made up his mind, saying in a deep voice, “Let’s try again!”
“Whoosh…”
In an instant, Su Yi took out more Yuan Stones and threw them onto the ground before him.
This time, Su Yi directly extracted one hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones, showing no mercy!
He reasoned that even if the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement was powerful, perhaps another two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones would make it function at least somewhat.
Otherwise, if they only continued to burn Yuan Stones, which mountain gate could withstand such enormous consumption?
“Sss…”
Su Yi, Su Xiaoshuai, and Xi Wuqing all looked eagerly at the stack of Yuan Stones on the ground. Under the devouring power of the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement, they quickly transformed from shiny to dull.
This scene resembled a pile of firewood burning rapidly, turning into ash.
“Now there should be a reaction!”
Su Yi kept repeating in his mind, occasionally scanning his surroundings, hoping to observe changes in the entire Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement.
Simultaneously, he kept staring at the array plate in Xi Wuqing’s hand, hoping to detect any activity on it.
“Sss…”
Both of them were somewhat nervous, eager to know the final outcome.
Soon, as the hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones were about to be completely consumed, the massive Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement suddenly trembled!
“There’s movement!”
Su Yi was thrilled, almost jumping up in excitement.
“There’s actually a reaction!”
Xi Wuqing was also excited; they finally witnessed some changes.
A strange rhythmic fluctuation began to surround them, which they could perceive.
Mysterious scenes appeared all around, creating subtle illusions, giving them a sense of disorientation and dizziness.
However, this sensation was not intense, completely lacking the strength expected in a typical Fantastic Gate Soul Realm.
“Big brother, quickly get it working!” Su Yi exclaimed with excitement.
Without needing the reminder, Xi Wuqing had already started using his soul power to connect with the array plate. He wanted to control the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement and observe what effect it would have when operational.
Even if those two hundred thousand Yuan Stones yielded only half a cup of tea’s worth of time, it would still be worthwhile!
The power of his soul surged and flowed into the array plate like a mighty river.
Imperceptibly, Xi Wuqing could sense that he was able to perceive many wonders of this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm. Holding the array plate was like being everywhere at once, knowing everything about each location.
And Xi Wuqing knew he could use the power stored in the array plate to counter enemies!
“Begin operation!”
He said this mentally, releasing his soul power into the array plate. Through the connection with the array plate, he intended to activate the entire Fantastic Gate Soul Realm.
A tremendous force suddenly emerged, as if originating from ancient times. It was awe-inspiring and imposing, creating a sense of solemnity in everyone!
This aura excited Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, and Su Xiaoshuai.
But in the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces!
With a buzzing sound, the terrifying aura from the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement suddenly receded in less than a breath’s time, like flowing water!
The lights that were originally shining around, like blown-out candles, no longer emitted any brightness.
The immense pressure vanished into thin air, instantly disappearing without a trace!
“What an unexpected turn!”
Xi Wuqing patted the array plate in his hand and said with a pained expression.
However, no matter how he communicated with his soul power, it couldn’t produce the slightest movement again.
“What… What’s going on?”
Su Yi felt a twinge in his teeth and questioned his older brother Xi Wuqing.
He still didn’t comprehend what had happened. The Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement had just undergone a significant change, but suddenly it ceased, as if it had never occurred.
“It must be because we don’t have enough Yuan Stones! Boss, if you contribute another one hundred thousand, it will definitely sustain longer this time!”
Su Xiaoshuai flapped his wings and flew in front of Su Yi, shouting loudly.
Upon hearing the reason, Su Yi prepared to extract another one hundred thousand Yuan Stones.
They had already invested two hundred thousand Yuan Stones. Since this attempt had produced such a significant reaction, Su Yi believed that adding another one hundred thousand would surely make the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement functional.
As long as it achieved this effect, who cared about the Yuan Stones? Even if it hurt, they had to proceed!
However, his actions were halted by Xi Wuqing.
“Don’t add more!”
Xi Wuqing instructed Su Yi to return the Yuan Stones to the space bag and said gravely, “The Fantastic Gate Soul Realm you obtained is far more formidable than I imagined! Adding another one hundred thousand Yuan Stones might make it operate briefly, but it no longer serves any purpose.”
Su Yi raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but was interrupted by Xi Wuqing.
“How many Yuan Stones do you possess in total? Even if you invested all of them into this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, it would barely function, without much potency! To fully unleash its capabilities, we’d need a vastly greater quantity. Let’s not waste any more!”
Xi Wuqing sighed and continued, “Let’s conserve the remaining Yuan Stones to establish the Dark Sun Realm! You see, the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm consumes an enormous amount of Yuan Stones even when operating at full capacity. I doubt a few hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones would suffice to confront the Tiangang Sect. We might just be overextending ourselves!”
Hearing Xi Wuqing’s words, Su Yi felt as though he heard his heart shattering.
Two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones gone just like that, and all he experienced was a slight tremor?
He felt aggrieved, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably, nearly driving him to madness.
Su Yi comprehended Xi Wuqing’s meaning perfectly.
To make the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement operate at full capacity, the current situation suggested that a few hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones wouldn’t be sufficient!
Continuing to experiment had no meaning anymore; otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to support the consumption of the Dark Sun Realm.
“Big Brother, please don’t be upset!”
Su Xiaoshuai observed Su Yi’s changing facial color and quickly tried to comfort him.
“I’m not upset!”
Su Yi’s expression turned cold, and he spoke without emotion.
He wasn’t actually upset, just heartbroken!
Two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones—what a hard-earned fortune! It was like throwing it into water and hearing a loud splash, only to produce a fleeting effect.
“Keep this formation plate for now. It seems we won’t be able to utilize it this time. We’ll study it later.”
Xi Wuqing used his soul power to withdraw the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement back into the formation plate.
Disregarding Su Yi’s discomfort, he tossed the formation plate at him and said, “Give me all the Yuan Stones you have and then help me carve the Dark Sun Realm!”
Su Yi’s mouth twitched as he looked at the array disc in his hand, feeling a mixture of love and hate.
He wondered, what would be the terrifying rate of Yuan Stone consumption if the Array of Ten Thousand Demon-Gods Refinement unleashed its full power?
With such expenditure, which sect would be able to sustain it?
It appeared that this Fantastic Gate Soul Realm not only required extremely sophisticated setup but also entailed frighteningly high operational costs!
