Chapter 826: Xu Lizhis Determination (2/2)
Finally, he was unable to advance any further. His body had reached its limit, and if he were to take even a single step forward from here, his soul would be destroyed, and he would be erased from existence.
At this moment, Xu Lizhi stopped and began to chant an incantation while soul rings appeared beneath his feet.
”Don't judge a bun by its folds, I have a crystal bun!”
A translucent crystal bun appeared in his hand, and he jammed it into his mouth without any hesitation.
A suit of crystalline armor appeared over his entire body. However, through the transparent crystalline layer, it could still be seen that his body was constantly being broken down and reconstructed.
In the next instant, a burst of destructive power crashed toward him, and Xu Lizhi borrowed its power to hurtle back in retreat before sitting on the ground to meditate in a cross-legged manner.
He hadn't eaten the crystal bun to bolster his defenses. Instead, he was using the layer of crystalline armor to trap the destructive aura that had entered his body so he could better absorb it.
This was because during this process, he discovered that as soon as he left this place, the destructive aura in his body would quickly dissipate, and only a small portion of it would remain.
However, after consuming the crystal bun, everything was different; he would be able to keep the vast majority of the destructive aura that he'd absorbed in his body.
Of course, doing this would inevitably afflict him with constant agony that was countless times more intense than before. However, he was more determined than anyone as he needed this power more than everyone else.
……
”I really am very surprised!” Old Demon Nightmare mused with furrowed brows.
”Indeed!” Old Demon Scourge also wore a surprised look on his face.
”Setting aside everything else, these kids have far more mental fort.i.tude than we'd imagined, especially that fat kid. It's extraordinary to think that a food system Soul Master could have such a strong will. It appears that I underestimated him. What's even more surprising to me is that he's the one who's gotten the closest to the fragment of destruction among all seven of them!”
Old Demon Scourge chuckled, ”Isn't that even better for us? The sight of them being tormented truly brings joy to my heart.”
”Why didn't you wake me up when we've got these great new toys!” A deep voice suddenly sounded.
Old Demon Nightmare and Old Demon Scourge both turned around, and they were greeted by the sight of an extremely tall and broad figure.
”Engulfment!” both of them exclaimed in unison.
The one who had spoken just now was also an old man. However, his hair was yellow instead of white, making it look as if he had a head of limp straw around his large bald spot.
His burly figure was slightly hunched over, and his face was as old as it was hideous. What was even more unsettling was his huge mouth. When he opened it to speak, his ma.s.sive mouth could spread open to behind his ears.
”How could you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds enjoy this alone?!” Old Demon Engulfment exclaimed in an indignant manner, ”I don't care what you say; they're mine next! I have to show them the joy of engulfment!”
Old Demon Nightmare and Old Demon Scourge's brows furrowed in unison. ”Alright, we'll let you have some fun with them next, but you have to wait until they swim to the other side first.”
……
”Slap!” Tang Wulin's hand fell into the shallow seawater as he clawed his fingers into the sand down below. He literally had to drag himself onto the sh.o.r.e, and as he lay on the ground, he didn't want to move ever again.
Purplish-black energy was revolving around his body, and his eyes were tightly shut. His face was also as pale as a ghost, but he'd finally made it.
After absorbing destructive aura on countless occasions, he was finally able to keep the sea souls beasts from attacking him, and swam to the other side.
However, during this process, he was still attacked by an extremely powerful sea soul beast. The beast had even swallowed him into its stomach already, and it only spat him out because his destructive aura was too abhorrent to it.
