Chapter 912 (1/2)

Back on the demonic island, Xu Lizhi had been the most persistent when absorbing destructive energy, and he was the one who had lasted the longest during that trial.

He had always known what his own fatal weakness was; as a food system Soul Master, his combat prowess was far too lackl.u.s.ter.

He loved Ye Xinglan, and Ye Xinglan had agreed to be with him, but deep down in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a little inferior. He was a man, yet he constantly had to rely on his woman to protect him, and that was definitely not a good feeling.

As such, he had been working extremely hard to catch up to Ye Xinglan so he could protect her with his power someday.

It was none other than this persistent will that was constantly spurring him on to find ways to better himself. When he discovered the destructive energy, he felt as if he'd found the key to rectifying his glaring weakness.

The defining nature of the Mysterious Heaven Method was that it could create an endless cycle of soul power. The old demons had originally intended for them to absorb destructive energy in order to bolster their physical resistance. However, Xu Lizhi had progressed in the complete opposite direction, guiding destructive energy into his body in order to fuse it with his soul power as opposed to trying to keep it at bay.

Initially, this was an extremely dangerous endeavor, but he was about to persist using his Recovery Pork Buns and St.u.r.dy Crystal Buns. As time pa.s.sed, he gradually became accustomed to destructive energy, and he discovered a shortcut; he could store the destructive energy within a separate sea of energy in his body.

This was the first time he had used it during battle, and as expected, it had proven to be extremely effective.

The most fearsome aspect of destructive energy was that as it destroyed something, it would naturally absorb the aura being released by the subject being destroyed in order to replenish itself.

This effect became especially potent when used on life forms.

At this moment, the core of the energy being released by the Chaotic Element Immortal Herb was life force energy, so it was being completely dominated by the destructive energy. Without any intelligence, the Chaotic Element Immortal Herb had no idea how to compress its life force energy, so Xu Lizhi's destructive energy was of a far higher caliber than its energy.

It was exactly because of this that it had already been completely defeated by Xu Lizhi's destructive energy.

”Please stop! You can take the immortal herb, but don't corrupt any of the other plants here with your destructive energy!” the purple-robed man hurriedly yelled to stop Xu Lizhi from going even further.

The deep purple light receded, and Xu Lizhi made his way over to the Chaotic Element Immortal Herb as he withdrew his suit of battle armor. He was able to pull the immortal herb out of the ground with ease, leaving only a tiny immortal seedling in its wake. Just like the Star Luo Spirit Bead, the Chaotic Element Immortal Herb had left its seed here in order to extend its life.

The Chaotic Element Immortal Herb appeared to be quite thin, but it was rather heavy to hold.

Zang Xin instructed, ”The Chaotic Element Immortal Herb should be consumed one leaf at a time, and you should meditate after consuming each leaf in order to gradually improve your soul power. The immortal herb has a spirit that will fade over time, so you should consume it as soon as possible. This is for you.”

He tossed a jade box over to Xu Lizhi as he spoke. ”The part of the immortal herb that's yet to be consumed can be temporarily stored in that jade box.”

”Thank you, vice-palace master.” Xu Lizhi found an empty patch of ground before sitting down in an elated manner, then plucked off a Chaotic Element Immortal Herb leaf and placed it into his own mouth.

It didn't taste very good. The flavor was much like eating gra.s.s, and it was also very tough and fibrous. Only after swallowing the first leaf did he feel a burst of powerful chaotic elemental energy abruptly surge into his body, combining with his soul power before flowing through his meridians.

A joyful smile appeared on Ye Xinglan's face. The effect of this 100,000-year-old Chaotic Element Immortal Herb would most likely be sufficient to take Xu Lizhi all the way to the Soul Emperor level, and it was also going to create a solid foundation for his future cultivation. Perhaps he could even manifest a soul core during this process.

The purple-robed man stood still on the spot with a contemplative look on his face.

”What are you thinking about, Tutu?  ” the Delicate Inferno Apricot Flower asked through spiritual sense communication.

The purple-robed man replied, ”The people that the Amorous Douluo has brought to this place seem to be a little different this time. They're reminding me of that man from 20,000 years ago.”

”You're talking about Tang San?” the Delicate Inferno Apricot Flower asked in a surprised manner.
