Ye Xiwen let the Ninth Prince go because he naturally hoped to continue making use of his value. Otherwise, he could simply have slain the Ninth Prince along with the others.
Originally, if he wanted to advance further and truly step into the Peak Sage Realm, he would still have needed quite some time. Accumulation was indispensable in this process. But with these Glass Augment Essence Fruits, the situation was entirely different. Even with the enormous amount of power he required for breakthroughs, they would be enough to let him advance another step.
Within a shattered expanse of space, Ye Xiwen set up an array and began his secluded cultivation. Amid this boundless chaotic battlefield, no one would casually barge into such spatial fragments. They were simply too unstable and too dangerous.
Above his head, the Heavenly Origin Mirror and the Myriad ** Disk flew out, enveloping the entire space. Only after making complete preparations for defense did he begin his assault on the Peak Sage Realm.
He had already reached the utmost limit of the Late Stage Sage Realm. He was only one step away from entering the Peak Sage Realm.
In one breath, he swallowed ten Glass Augment Essence Fruits. Vast energy surged into his body, transforming into heaven-flooding power that he absorbed. Countless Great Dao imprints were mixed within it as well, absorbed and refined into his being.
The accumulation that might originally have required centuries, perhaps even millennia, to complete was rapidly increasing under the augmentation of the Glass Augment Essence Fruits. Countless laws danced around him, absorbing and gathering, forming a terrifying domain of laws that boiled without end.
Once all ten Glass Augment Essence Fruits had been completely consumed, Ye Xiwen had reached a kind of peak, entering a state both profound and mysterious.
