Chapter 474 - Temper Himself (2/2)
When Ou Yangming’s mental power kept improving and attracted the Heavenly Thunderbolts, the goshawk and the big yellow dog finally knew the situation had become very unfavorable. After the Inescapable Trap was destroyed by the thunderbolts, they saw Ou Yangming kill Long Dexing in one move and took the initiative to face the following thunderbolts.
In particular, the goshawk and Big Yellow almost felt like they had gone mad when they saw Ou Yangming abandon his thunderbolt-resistant s.h.i.+eld and cloak.
‘What’s this fella trying to do? Is he trying to resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts with his physical power? Does he not know how to spell death?’
Big Yellow was fine, whereas the goshawk turned pale. The latter’s life was linked to Ou Yangming’s, thus he would also die if the young fellow died.
However, Ou Yangming, who was directly involved in the situation, knew nothing about what was going on outside. He raised his arms again and antic.i.p.ated the next Heavenly Thunderbolt.
Sure enough, the Heavenly Thunderbolt did not disappoint him as the next one was incredibly forceful. The electric light lingered around him to completely wrap him up.
The energy of the essence and blood was released bit by bit and integrated with Ou Yangming’s meridians as it fully became a part of his essential Qi. Owing to the fact that he had extraordinary mental power, he could easily control the essential Qi’s circulation in his body and could send them into his dantian.
Electric light was also flickering inside his dantian at the moment. It was the thunderbolt power, which had seeped into every corner in his body.
Ou Yangming was bold and was relying on the fact that he possessed mental power mighty enough for him to control everything. This was why he dared to let go of his body and did something close to the limit.
His skin, flesh, blood, bones, and even his most hidden sea of consciousness seemed to be surrounded by the electric light. That said, after the thunderbolt power was weakened by the remaining pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment, and once the essence and blood in his body melted, his body eventually became purer and tougher like fine iron that was continuously tempered.
This was a unique cultivation method, but n.o.body dared to do it since ancient times.
Using thunderbolts as the Military Fire and tempering one’s body as if it was stubborn iron was simply frightening.
If Ou Yangming had not absorbed substantial essence and blood and was impacted by their energy, he would not have done this as it seemed like he was courting his death.
When the thunderbolts continued to display their potency and the essence and blood’s energy kept melting, Ou Yangming’s body slowly became stronger.
Ou Yangming absorbed so much essence and blood that Long Dexing’s body was almost emptied. The energy from the essence and blood could not have been accepted by any Supreme Great Ancestor, to the extent that it would also be difficult for Wu Yuanwei—the Humans’ greatest powerhouse—to withstand it.
Therefore, through the strikes from the thunderbolts, the essence and blood’s energy had not only turned into essential Qi that flowed in Ou Yangming’s dantian, but a part of it had also directly fused with his body, allowing his body to resist the thunderbolts. The portion of energy completely a.s.similated into the young fellow’s bones, flesh, and skin after it endured the Heavenly Thunderbolts, causing a quality enhancement in his body const.i.tution.
No matter how a human cultivator cultivated, perhaps one could surpa.s.s the Beasts in terms of energy mobilization, but one’s body const.i.tution would always be inferior to the Beasts.
The Beasts were born with the advantage, and it could not be anyhow changed by anyone. Even if one were to put in more effort in this aspect, one would only get half the results with twice the effort and could not easily become superior.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming completed an unimaginable change when he was zapped by the thunderbolts. He fused extra energy into his body and utilized the thunderbolts to temper his body, which became far beyond one’s imagination.
“Boom…”
As soon as the last thunderbolt descended, Ou Yangming’s body gave off rattling sounds akin to firecrackers. He twisted his neck and slowly straightened his body.
His clothes were ripped, and his Thunderbolt-resistant Suit seemed to have cracked as well.
If the cracks were slightly deeper, the suit would crumble to dust.
Ou Yangming brought this upon himself. If he was fully-equipped and did not reduce the number of equipment he had, he would not have ended up like this.
When the young fellow looked up, he finally confirmed that the Heavenly Thunderbolts were gone.
However, there were last bits of the essence and blood in his body that had not been refined.
Ou Yangming took a deep breath and sat with his legs crossed as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate. After some time, he finished converting the remaining energy from the essence and blood.
Everything was solved satisfactorily so far, but Ou Yangming still felt some lingering fear.
Long Dexing’s power was too forceful, so much so that the thunderbolt powers could not fully wear away his essence and blood. While this was related to Ou Yangming’s existence, the fact that this happened proved how terrifying his power was.
Without having the Military Fire and the Devouring power, Ou Yangming did not know how far he could go.
He curbed his thought and released his mental conception. His body could not help but s.h.i.+ver a little.
