281 Divine Armament Red Star! (2/2)

Wang Baole's body trembled. He quickly realized that something was amiss, as the extremely viscous flow of life seemed to be partitioned by the devouring seed the moment it was absorbed into two portions!

One portion remained as the viscous flow of life, while the other portion was made up of drops of black dew!

The dew clearly harnessed some form of demonic force, one that seemed to be both poisonous and inhibitory at the same time. That made Wang Baole surprised as he realized that there was something wrong with the fruit!

Is this the true nature of the fruit, or did someone do something to it? Wang Baole's breathing quickened as he looked towards the black-robed middle-aged man formed from the giant tree. However, the youth didn't seem to have noticed anything peculiar with the fruit, as he continued to absorb it.

This made Wang Baole somewhat doubtful. As he hesitated, the green lotus inside the devouring seed suddenly began to shake violently. The life force that had been absorbed was sucked towards it, and even the poisonous venom was being voraciously taken up by it!

It appeared as if the poisonous venom was like a supplement. The green lotus turned a jadeite green, and even its wilted leaves were visibly rejuvenated!

It can take up the poisonous venom as well? Wang Baole was dumbfounded with delight.

That was not all. As the devouring seed continued absorbing and as the fruit speedily dried up, Wang Baole was surprised to find out that the green lotus was also growing during this absorption process. Even though the process was slow, it was visibly growing bigger. It was neither Spirit Qi nor the sign of life that was flowing from within the green lotus. Wang Baole couldn't put a finger on what it was, but he could clearly feel that the force that had been flowing out was quickly integrating with his physical body!

The integration occurred with that force acting as a form of nourishment. A sensation of strength and ferocity grew stronger in his heart. His breathing was so rapid that it became slightly destabilized. In this short period of time, his physical strength seemed to have increased two-fold!

Wang Baole's physical body had always been strong. Now that his strength had been further boosted, it made him a rarity amongst the Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, this wasn't the end of the strengthening process!

As the absorption continued and the green lotus continued to grow, Wang Baole's physical body grew even stronger. Regardless of whether it was his bones or flesh and blood, everything seemed to have evolved to a higher level!

Gosh! Is the green lotus defying limits, or is the fruit itself just abnormal… Wang Baole took a deep breath and swallowed. He felt incredulous, and at the same time, the black-robed middle-aged man standing opposite him began cursing under his breath, he stared with his eyes so wide that they were almost falling out of their sockets.

This *sshole! How could he absorb so quickly… I recall now, when he was in Coulomb Basin previously, he depended on some sort of absorption method…. The black-robed middle-aged man formed from the tree was on the brink of going crazy. His eyes had grown bloodshot from all the force he was using to absorb the fruit. He could feel that his level of cultivation was slowly being evolved. Following this process, he would be able to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation in no time, reaching the Nascent Soul realm that no one within the different factions on earth had managed to!

The only issue was that… Wang Baole was probably the nemesis of the giant tree. The moment where the giant tree filled with an uncontrollable desire finally saw a glimpse of hope, the green lotus within Wang Baole's body was also growing as the flow of life was being absorbed. As it grew, a lotus seed head emerged from it. The lotus seed head glowed brightly as if the lotus seeds were about to be produced.

The force of the devouring seed within Wang Baole's body was being boosted by the minute. It was growing at such a speed that it made the black-robed middle-aged man gasp in shock!

As loud booms emerged and the fruit dried up at increasing speed, Wang Baole and the black-robed middle-aged man fought over the life source within it. The middle-aged man, being ten times slower, couldn't catch up to Wang Baole!

Impossible! The black-robed middle-aged man formed from the giant tree was screaming angrily in his heart while green veins bulged out from his forehead. At that moment, within Wang Baole's lotus, the first lotus seed appeared.

There was now approximately a fifteen-fold difference in speed between the two men.

As the second, third, and fourth lotus seed emerged, the difference in speed reached thirty times.

Wang Baole was immensely surprised himself. On the one hand, he felt that the black-robed middle-aged man had grown even stronger, and to some extent had reached a frightening level. On the other hand, there was something peculiar about the facial expression of the middle-aged man. His face was so black that ink might be able to flow from it if he were to squeeze it.

Excuse me, shall we awaken the Night Immortal King? I think that this giant tree was suppressed so much that it has become angry… Just as Wang Baole was feeling frightened, he decided to make the first move to wake the Night Immortal King that was in deep slumber. At the same time, the Divine Armament flying dagger that had stained everything red neared, charging towards Federation President Duan Muque.

As it circled one full round and evoked a bloody glow that shot into the skies, it dashed towards the Mystic Luna Realm's array formation!

It grew nearer and nearer until it made contact with the array formation on the Mystic Luna Realm!

Boom!
