Streams of natural essence entered Huo lings Celestial sea. And his bleeding stopped. His celestial sea was filling with vigor had had recovered half of its Celestial essence.
But soon a group of cunning devils came into the area of his soul sense. Hul ling stoped quickly and saw a claw reaching for his face.
He rolled backwards, and his heart was beating very fast. " Seems like he noticed it , I will have to give it off to this guy, he had made me so miserable despite having such a bizzare advantage" he said to himself while dealing with the devils.
Huo ling' arms and sword were covered in a dark gray essence which was faintly visible , to carefull eyes. His feet moved in elegance when he Dodged the attacks and his sword was like a divine weapon massacring the enemies.
" Seems like no more are comming " after killing about ten or so more of the beasts it was silence again.
He then again began to absorb the natural essence.
Inside the cave the leader Cunning devil had a solemn expression. His eyes were not so calm anymore.
It had ruled this band of devils for a long time and was very confident in his abilities but now maximum of its group had been killed by this human.
It was for the first time he had faced such a loss and was very angry.
Outside, the liquid essence was completely used, " almost recovered all of the celestial essence," his eyes had a determined look and he fed all his Celestial worms which were too tired of the long battle.
He had attacked the lair in the morning and it was already night time now. After confirming everything he again entered the cave.
The cunning devils became alert and there was a evil look on the leader of thr pack.
As soon as Huo ling entered the cave, his eyes popped out of his sockets. He was under attack from every single direction.
" This thing is to much , it already laid a trap for me. " Sky green glow surrounded his feet as he like a fast rushing wind dodged the ambush.
The devils balanced themselves and along with the leader all other devils gathered at the place.
Huo ling counted there were only thirty left. He had already did s good work on their numbers.
He directly charged into the group. "I will see if you are as strong as your shamelessness or not ".
In tactical battle he sure was going to lose as this group was too adept to tactical battles due to their leader and nature .
But heavens are fair and their physical defence is not as high as other beasts. Also huo ling due to his combat technique and soul sense worm san be considered a beast in close combat.

Some of the devils targeted his legs , some his arms and some his torso , when Huo ling thought about defending a part, the devil leader ordered and those attackers retreated, other managed to attack him as those areas were unguarded .
" This wont do like this they will finish me sooner or later" he gritted his teeth and took a gamble activating his swift gale celestial worm.
" Lets see if my essence runs out before i massacre you all or not." Saying so with a boosted speed he began to attack the devils.
After a tiresome hour of fighting only Huo ling and the leader were left in the battlefield.
" Ha ha, could you have ever expected to get into such a state when you were smiling so evilly at me in the beginning" Huo ling laughed loudly while looking at the opponent.
Boh of them were in a very sorry state. Huo ling's clothes were tattered. Blood flowed from almost every area of his body.
There were some bone deep wounds on his arms and legs. He was barely left with any Celestial essence.
The devil was also very beaten up. But it mustered every strength remaining in its body to get a last deadly attack at Huo ling.
" This is the move in which life and death will be determined" Huo ling focused all his attention into the soul sense worm.
He managed to dodge with just a injury at the left arm.
He gritted his teeth and instantly put all his remaining Celestial essence into the sword and attacked the back of devil' s neck " ahhhhhh " his whole body was aching , his celestial essence was gone and his soul was completely exhausted due to using soul sense worm continuosly for such a long time.
But he still put all his remaining strength into the attack , slash the attack connected and fear of death could be seen in the devil's eyes.
Soon both of them fell on the ground. The devil was dead.
Huo ling gritting his teeth got up, it was still not over . As soon as some time passed the worm would fly out of the dead body and it would be all over for him.
" Finally got it ," looking at the calm aura radiating small worm his eyes were burning with excitement this was the fruit of his labour. He had worked so hard to get it.
He tamed it in no time at all as it was already exhausted to almost death by the fight similar to his worms.
As soon as the worm entered his celestial sea his body underwent a massive change , but he didn't have the luxury to inspect him as he could sense his consciousness fading. He hurriedly put the last of his high quality medical paste obtained from the academy to his wounds.
And fed his worms , soon he became unconscious and fell on the ground.
Four days later at a cave inside dense forest.
Huo ling opened his eyes he looked around and said " i was lucky enough that no wild beast entered here and put me out to death " he sighed and inspected his body.
All of his Celestial sea was dry , his celestial worms were very hungry and their condition was not looking very good.
His wounds were almost recovered due to the medicine, but there was still sime time to complete recovery.
" Looking at the condition of the worms , it seems I was out for three to five days" he shivered with after fear.
It was too dangerous a situation. Then he fed all his Celestial worms . He had kept their food in his little puch which was now over.
" It good that the clear clear worm also eats the same serene soul flower petals as the soul sense Celestial worm" he sighed and began recovering his celestial essence.
After some hours he finally got to his peak and it was already late noon.
He happily chuckled " All the risks are fine when compared to the rewards." he was very pleased with his condition.
His soul power was higher now and his soul sense radius has increased to 15 feet. He could feel his thoughts as clear as a sunny day and his decision making and cognitive thinking was about three times as fast as before.
" I get it now , although it is just a boost of hundred percent to the brain. But it was a fusion among thinking capacity of two brains so it was way better than simply having two different brains "
" Fruits of hard work are sweet afterall " he smiled and rushed towards his base cave, he had spare clothes and some reserves of food for both him and his Celestial worms there.
