Getting his hands on the Stardusk Essence from Huo Fen after reassuring him that he would repay him after they got out of the Verdant Abyss, Xuan Hao didn't waste any time as he sat back down and absorbed the Stardusk Essence directly into his dantian. Allowing it to seamlessly fall into his spiritual sea, where it was slowly absorbed and turned into a massive quantity of spiritual qi that soon enough caused his already massive spiritual sea to slowly expand.
From the original 85-kilometer circumference, it soon reached 86… 87… 90… 95… And finally, 99. Reaching the very peak of what was considered the Middle Stage of the Sea Formation Realm before it encountered a bottleneck that stopped any further expansion.
Rumble~
Instead, the spiritual sea that had remained calm so far even under the rapid expansion began growing more turbulent, as the massive amount of spiritual qi from the Stardusk Essence had nowhere to go-
RUMBLE-!
