After Zi Zhen activated the Realm Starball, Li Tianming's figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.
Within the Number One Divine Treasury Mine, all that remained was a massive hollow left behind after Little Nine's feast.
Since the entrance to that hollow was narrow and elongated, Li Tianming did not need to worry too much about leaving traces of his actions for the time being. He could rest easy for now.
Soon, with a flash of chaotic lightning, Li Tianming had returned to the Burning Spirit Realm.
Little Nine had devoured Divine Treasury Stones for a full seven hundred years. Since squeezing into the Companion Space, it seemed to have lain quietly off to one side.
The surging dark energy throughout its body now seemed to have settled, and that savage, violent aura had calmed as well.
At this moment, Xixi, who was relatively close to Little Nine, grew curious. She cautiously stepped forward and even reached out with her chubby little hand to poke Little Nine.
Looking at the seemingly abnormal Little Nine, Xixi's gray spirit body furrowed its brow and asked with concern, "Little Nine, what's wrong?"
Yet Little Nine did not react at all. Its enormous black mist body merely seemed to rise and fall steadily.
Miaomiao glanced toward Little Nine and said lazily, "It's asleep, meow. It probably ate itself dizzy, meow."
"How do you know?" Ji Ji's spirit body propped up its chin, one brow slightly raised.
"Because sleeping is my specialty, meow." Miaomiao rolled its eyes.
"O... okay! That really is impossible to refute." Ji Ji was instantly left speechless.
Only then did the previously nervous Xixi relax. It lay atop the gray coffin, curiously watching Little Nine's gently rising and falling body.
