"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
The solid ground, as well as the consumption of the virtual world and pseudo-source magic weapons, caused Yang Qi's own consumption to be greater than before, and the time he could dig was naturally shortened.
Looking at the ground under his feet, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Although I can still dig, the speed and consumption are not proportional."
This is the case when Yang Qi can continue to dig down. If it were other practitioners, they would have been unable to continue digging down. If the gap was too big, even burning the origin would be useless, because digging underground is an extremely time-consuming task. Burning the origin and even the secret method can only burst out strength beyond the usual level in a short period of time, and is not suitable for such long-term consumption.
Yang Qi looked at the location of the opportunity in his perception, and couldn't help but feel curious, "But what exactly is the opportunity underground?"
After digging more than 900 feet, there was only less than 100 feet left to the location of the opportunity, but even so, Yang Qi could not clearly feel the complete fluctuations of the opportunity. The fluctuations he felt were exactly the same as before he started digging. Not only that, Lei Xian had also sensed it before, but he could not feel any fluctuations at all.
If Yang Qi had not been able to clearly sense that the opportunity was dozens of feet away underground, he would even have suspected that the opportunity had moved some distance underground on its own.
“What a peculiar environment!”
Yang Qi sighed. It was obvious that the underground perception range was not affected by how deep the cultivator dug. Even if he dug underground, he could only sense the original position. It was obviously not feasible to expand his perception range or search for opportunities by digging underground, unless he turned over the entire Dark Thunder Gorge.
However, without being sure whether there is an opportunity underground, searching the Dark Thunder Gorge is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, through the excavation over this period of time, Yang Qi also vaguely guessed one thing.
That is the range that practitioners can perceive, which is probably equivalent to the limit range that practitioners can dig. In other words, the area that practitioners cannot perceive is also the area that practitioners cannot dig.
Just like Lei Xian, the limit of his perception range is hundreds of feet, and the range he can dig is also only hundreds of feet. He cannot perceive deeper areas, nor can he dig to that range.
In this case, digging three feet into the ground is obviously meaningless, because you cannot sense the range. Even if there is an opportunity, it is almost impossible to get it through digging.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi stopped thinking about it. He swung the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand continuously, and sharp sword beams bombarded the ground, and he began to dig again.
In this way, Yang Qi took another break halfway through, and finally dug to a position a thousand feet underground, only a few feet away from the location of the opportunity. But even so, the fluctuations that Yang Qi sensed still did not change at all.
Sensing the fluctuations that were only a few feet away, Yang Qi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It seems that my previous guess was correct."
Yang Qi dug several more feet down, and stopped when he was less than ten feet away from the location of the fluctuation. He then took a few pills and sat cross-legged to recover.
By now, the originally restored energy had been consumed. Although Yang Qi wanted to dig out the opportunity directly, he had no idea what it was. Now that he had consumed a lot of energy, if something unexpected happened, he might not have enough strength to deal with the crisis.
Therefore, Yang Qicai did not choose to dig out the opportunity immediately, but chose to recover the consumed energy first. After he recovered to his peak state, he continued to dig. Even if something unexpected happened, he would be able to deal with it.
On the ground, watching Yang Qi sitting cross-legged and recovering, Lei Xian couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, "Are we almost there?"
He couldn't sense the fluctuation of the opportunity, but he found that Yang Qi's consumption at this moment was not as much as before, but he suddenly stopped to recover. The most likely possibility was that he was about to tap the opportunity, so for the sake of safety, he first recovered to his peak state. If it were Lei Xian himself, he would make the same choice. After all, tapping the opportunity does not mean that you can get it immediately.
Some opportunities, after being dug out, would appear directly in the world, causing quite a stir, and even attracting nearby practitioners, which led to large-scale fighting. If you don't make more preparations and rashly dig out the underground opportunities, you may not only fail to get the opportunity in the end, but you may even lose yourself.
Although Lei Xian was very curious about the opportunity underground, he did not have any special ideas. After all, he had seen Yang Qi's strength and methods, and he knew very well that he had no chance to seize the opportunity from Yang Qi. Moreover, when the two of them were traveling together, they had made an oath that they would not take the initiative to attack each other during the trip, otherwise they would be backlashed by the blood oath of Tao.
Lei Xian was no match for Yang Qi in the first place, and after suffering the backlash of the Blood Oath of Tao, it was even more impossible for him to snatch the opportunity from Yang Qi.
"I hope nothing unexpected will happen." Lei Xian said secretly in his heart. Now that he and Yang Qi are together, and Yang Qi is only one step away from digging out the opportunity, he naturally does not want any accidents to happen in this process.
Because the previous consumption was not great, Yang Qi quickly recovered to his peak state, and then activated the Black Phoenix Sword again, digging towards the ground.
There was only less than ten feet of distance left, and as Yang Qi continued to dig, he was getting closer and closer to the location of the opportunity.
Snap!
Suddenly, as Yang Qi slashed the ground with his sword, a slight shattering sound was heard, followed by an extremely powerful force erupting from the ground, rushing straight into the sky along the big pit dug by Yang Qi.
“What a powerful force!”
Yang Qi who was in the big pit was the first to be hit. Under that terrifying power, even he was suppressed to the point where he could hardly move. If he were an ordinary six-star Martial Emperor at the peak of his powers, he would probably not be able to even move under that power.
"not good!"
On the ground, Lei Xian's face changed suddenly when he felt the might that suddenly erupted from the pit. He shouted, "Daoyou Xuxing, this is a sign of opportunity. Lightning will fall from the sky immediately. Get out of the ground quickly!"
Leaving the underground
Hearing Lei Xian's words, a bitter smile flashed across Yang Qi's face. He was now severely suppressed. Although he could still move, it was very difficult to move. How could he have the ability to come out from underground
