580 Slimmed Down! (2/2)
He was like an extremely hardy stone that was blocking the wheels of fate. As he suppressed it, the wheel couldn't successfully destroy everything!
It was already Wang Baole's limit, having achieved all of that. His hand that held onto the scabbard was trembling, and the green lotus in his body was shaking. Life energy was released on a scale that was never seen before as it tried to restore Wang Baole's body. As a result, it couldn't relax one bit, as if he did so, he would be completely crushed. His only choice was to persevere.
However, very soon, his body couldn't withstand it any longer. As cracks appeared on his skin and on his bones, the force from the fist caused Wang Baole to be unable to catch his breath. His body was continuously torn apart and continuously repaired, but it was difficult for him to last long.
Even his Lightning Core began to crack at this moment. This was the case for his Dark Core as well. The cracks grew larger. If it were to continue, his two cores would be destroyed, his cultivation would be wiped out, and his Core Formation realm would crumble!
His consciousness grew increasingly blurry at this moment. He seemed to have heard some voices, some familiar, some foreign, but all anxiously screaming for him to give up and concede defeat!
How can I concede defeat? My Dao doesn't allow me to concede defeat. My ambitions don't allow me to concede defeat… I, Wang Baole, would never concede defeat, ever! As Wang Baole screamed in his heart, the cracks in his Dark Core and Lightning Core grew wider. His body showed signs of breaking down. The repair of his body by the green lotus couldn't keep up.
However, just as his body was about to break apart, as his will continued to burn, and as he was suppressed to the maximum, the devouring seed in his body was suddenly unleashed with a loud boom!
It didn't absorb the force from outside. Instead, in this life-and-death crisis, the devouring seed swallowed the green lotus, as well as the Dark Core and Lightning Core. They didn't vanish and were instead integrated with the devouring seed for the second time!
The first integration happened when the green lotus was first planted on the devouring seed, and equilibrium was reached. Right now, at this life-and-death juncture, the devouring seed was unleashed. After taking everything in, it still felt insufficient, which was why it began absorbing Wang Baole's body. His originally rotund body could be visibly seen slimming down swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the Wang Baole that appeared before others…
It was no longer a rotund body, but one that had entirely slimmed down. He had a long body, well-defined eyebrows, and sharp eyes. Coupled with the well-chiseled face and loose clothing, Wang Baole appeared extremely handsome right now. Perhaps it was due to the significant contrast with how he looked previously, but everyone who saw him was surprised by the transformation in his physique. The Wang Baole right now was extremely eye-catching!
Even Zhuo Yifan, who was considered handsome in the Federation, conceded defeat to Wang Baole's handsomeness. That was because Wang Baole had something he didn't have—defiance, an overbearing attitude, and a power that could destroy everything!
All this made the current Wang Baole look handsome, yet a little sinister. His charisma was instantly boosted, and even Li Yi, the Federation Seedling outside, was bewildered.
At this moment, as the devouring seed was in the process of backlash, the process of reverse nourishment also began!
Wang Baole's cultivation was instantly activated, his force growing stronger from an initially weak state. It reached the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm and entered into the late-stage Core Formation realm. He broke through with a bang!
That wasn't the end. After entering the late-stage Core Formation realm, the devouring seed continued to nourish him, and his cultivation was boosted again. In a short period of time, his cultivation reached the peak late-stage and was just a small step away from perfection!
This scene shocked Dugu Lin, as well as everyone inside and outside the trial grounds!
”Breakthrough in the midst of battle!”
As the people exclaimed and gasped in shock, Wang Baole's cultivation was activated, and all his injuries were healed instantly. He regained the power that he had lost, and his power was now several times that of what it was previously. Waves of astonishing forces were released from his body, and it was as if it were capable of destroying the heavens. The hand that was gripping the scabbard no longer trembled and was instead extremely steady. Amid Dugu Lin's disbelief, Wang Baole raised his head, looking past the Four Beast Punch before him and directly at Dugu Lin within it!
”I do not concede defeat!” Wang Baole spoke softly, a frightening desire for combat clearly evident in his eyes!
