Chapter 2619: Chapter 2620: Realm Regression
The eyes of the three women lit up at the sight of the figure.
Ye Luo had actually emerged from retreat.
However, when they noticed Ye Luo’s strength, they immediately furrowed their brows.
His aura seemed to be only at the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.
This level of strength was not even comparable to the cultivation of many disciples on Qingxiu Peak!
Suddenly, the women became anxious, worried that Ye Luo might have suffered severe injuries in the last battle, causing his realm to fall!
For a cultivator to fall in realm is a very serious matter, impacting both talent and foundation significantly. It could mean never returning to their previous realm, let alone surpassing it, which is almost impossible.
Thinking about the brutal extent of Ye Luo’s previous battle, it was quite possible.
"Ye Luo, don’t lose heart. Everything has exceptions. You have Great Fortune, maybe you can break that myth and pave an entirely different path of cultivation!" Princess Xiu quickly said.
Ye Luo was momentarily stunned, then realized she was comforting him and immediately understood the situation.
"Haha, you all got it wrong. This is actually a blessing in disguise. The reason for my realm fall isn’t due to a problem with my foundation, it’s because I want to reform my physical body!" Ye Luo laughed.
Of course, this was also a fairly helpless matter for him. If he were in the Martial King Realm, those two forces would harm him immensely, beyond what he could endure!
Moreover, the damage was so severe that it surpassed the limits of the Great Saint Physique. Although this cultivation technique was self-abusive in nature, once the damage reached a certain threshold, it was beyond what the Great Saint Physique could control.
He found that the lower the realm, the smaller the damage, which was more favorable for shaping the physical body.
Therefore, he began dispersing energy, creating the illusion of a realm fall.
In reality, his realm was still intact. Once the energy was replenished, the realm would rise accordingly.
It’s like a big balloon — after releasing its air, the balloon shrinks, but can reach its previous size again when refilled!
Of course, before his physical body becomes sufficiently strong, he can’t raise his realm.
That means his future realm advancements must align with his physical body. For example, right now, his physical body can only withstand the strength of the Fifth Level Earth Martial Realm! If it exceeds that strength, the damage from those two forces surpasses the effects of the Great Saint Physique! Not even the Tai Chi Diagram would work.
Moreover, what frustrated Ye Luo was that those two forces were still intensifying!
Almost every day this month, he cursed in his heart!
The Demonic Queen wasn’t so bad; neither did those forces appear when the Queen’s two daughters and incarnations were in danger. Instead, it was when his body was being tormented that those forces kept emerging. Had the Queen planned this torment in advance?
But he understood that the benefits were certainly enormous.
Take now, for instance — his physical body’s strength was at the Fifth Level Earth Martial Realm, but with just his physical strength, he could annihilate cultivators below the Second Level Heavenly Martial Realm!
Perhaps the Heavenly Martial Realm was nothing in this Space-Time Channel, but what truly amazed people was the potential of Ye Luo’s physical body.
In that case, what devastating power will he possess once he returns to the Martial King Realm, with the combination of his physical body and Divine Soul!
Ye Luo eagerly awaited that day. By then, he would be fully capable of becoming a regional overlord and bringing all his women to enjoy collective happiness!
Furthermore, he estimated that quite a few Earth cultivators had ascended to the Sixth Region by now.
This also sparked his thought of returning to the Sixth Region.
Upon hearing Ye Luo’s explanation, the women finally sighed in relief.
"Ye Luo, don’t be careless, as the Clan Leader of the Kunshan Tribe lurks in the shadows. If he discovers your current realm, he might strike!" Princess Xiu frowned, clearly more cautious than the other two women.
Ye Luo simply chuckled, and then his aura suddenly changed, releasing an immensely powerful energy from his body, forcing the women to retreat repeatedly.
It was Martial King Realm’s aura!
However, as soon as Ye Luo displayed the strength of the Martial King Realm, the two forces within him immediately awakened and began destroying his body.
His expression twisted sharply, and then he released energy, causing his realm to quickly drop. When his realm returned to the Fifth Level Earth Martial Realm, his expression eased.
"So that’s how it is, you had us worried for nothing!" Princess Xiu laughed.
"But even if I can return to the Martial King Realm now, I can only maintain it for half a stick of incense’s time, so if he finds out, there’s still considerable danger!" Ye Luo said solemnly.
The women also showed worried expressions; yet if even Ye Luo had no solution, what could they do?
Suddenly, Ye Luo’s expression changed, words he was about to say were held back.
"I have some matters to handle, so I won’t be accompanying you!"
After speaking, he returned to the Cave Mansion. The women didn’t find anything amiss; after all, Ye Luo’s recent health issues and abnormal behavior were understandable.
Upon entering, a woman was sitting on a mat not far away, staring intently at him.
Ye Luo squinted his eyes and walked over.
"Why has your realm dropped to such a level?"
The newcomer was naturally the Demonic Queen.
"Naturally, it’s because of longing for you. Shouldn’t you give me some compensation?" Ye Luo smiled.
"Scoundrel! How dare you say such outrageous things!" The Demonic Queen immediately glared at him.
But Ye Luo didn’t care, he lunged forward. The Demonic Queen gasped in surprise and then started cursing again. However, she couldn’t stop Ye Luo’s actions.
Of course, with Ye Luo’s current strength at the Fifth Level Earth Martial Realm, the Demonic Queen could easily destroy him, but allowing him to succeed shows her intentions.
After some time together, the Demonic Queen resumed her chilly demeanor.
"In a way, this is a good thing for you, though tempering the physical body will take some time!" The Demonic Queen marveled at Ye Luo’s experiences and clicked her tongue in wonder.
Ye Luo, however, showed an unhappy expression, "Since you know this, why did you leave Demonic Qi to torment me?"
The Demonic Queen and the Queen differed significantly. The Queen’s Divine Consciousness Gold Body and main body are completely separate entities. What the main body does, the incarnation doesn’t know, but the Demonic Queen is not like that. Just now, her main body genuinely shared that feeling.
