Chapter 110: The Devouring Seed Erupts! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An indescribable sense of crisis descended like the crashing ocean, exploding within Wang Baole’s heart and mind! It was as if the doors of death had opened right before him, with the hand of a guard from hell reaching out, attempting to extinguish his flame of life!
What’s going on?
Even before he could open his eyes, Wang Baole’s mind buzzed with activity. It felt like a hurricane that was capable of wrecking the heavens and earth was approaching, wanting not only to tear apart his body but also to destroy his soul!
Faintly, he seemed to have heard a cold voice reverberating by his ears.
“Discovered... extremist... kill... swallow!”
The crisis had arrived too suddenly, and the voice was unclear. Wang Baole did not even have time to react before a deafening shockwave exploded all around him!
As the sound reverberated, the mountain in which Wang Baole was meditating instantly collapsed, the debris and rocks thrown in all directions. All the organs in his body were in great pain due to the impact of the rocks, and he felt like he was being crushed by the crashing waves and towering mountains. Fresh blood spewed uncontrollably, and his body was like a kite whose string had been severed, tumbling vigorously all around.
Fresh blood ceaselessly spurted out from his mouth, and every part of his body was in extreme pain. Everything that had happened was confusing to Wang Baole, who was being thrown into the air. Now, as his mind buzzed, he forced his eyes open but could not see what was happening around him. All he could see was a purple glow that had overtaken his entire visual field, enveloping him within.
What followed was a never-before sense of extreme pain!
“Ahhh!” Wang Baole let out a pitiful, shrill cry. The pain was indescribably intense, as if every inch of his flesh was being crushed into powder. Similar to it being corroded by acid, the pain radiated quickly from within his body.
The extreme pain drove Wang Baole to the brink of craziness. Looking from afar, his body was in midair, surrounded by a purple glow that looked like a big mouth, preparing to devour him. Wang Baole’s body was withering, and the entire process could be seen with the naked eye!
It seemed like his life was coming to an end at this moment. However, just at this instant, the mysterious black substance that was integrated into his Golden Body suddenly appeared, attempting to prevent the purple glow from devouring him, causing the purple glow to be obstructed.
At the same time, the runes on the fragment mountain were giving off a sea of light that was on a larger scale than before. As the light shone strongly, it formed a suppressive force that was growing exponentially in strength.
All forms of resistance finally injected a moment of clarity within Wang Baole’s confused mind. He did not know who wanted him dead, nor did he know why he had ended up in this state, but he knew that he did not want to die!
“You want to swallow me? I’ll swallow you instead!” Wang Baole struggled, howling in pain while withstanding the waves of pain that seemed to drown him like an ocean to release the devouring seed within his body. He was like a black hole, sucking in the surrounding purple glow.
This moment exemplified his ruthless character. He was vicious toward his enemies, but even crueler toward himself. He realized that he could not escape from the purple glow, so he did not care any further. The only thought in his mind was to swallow the purple glow!
Didn’t you want to swallow me? Then I’ll swallow you first; I’ll never give in!
In the blink of an eye, the purple glow that surrounded his body began to flicker. If it had been at its brightest state, it could have swallowed Wang Baole in an instant. However, it was at its weakest point, and coupled with the suppressive force it had encountered as it rushed out of the fragment mountain and the repeated compression it had faced in its journey, it had become significantly less powerful.
As it attempted to swallow Wang Baole, the mysterious black substance within Wang Baole’s body also had an effect on it. Wang Baole’s devouring seed was apparently one of its kind!
Everything caused the purple glow to warp under the suction force from Wang Baole’s devouring seed. Bit by bit, little by little, the glow was gradually sucked into Wang Baole’s body!
From afar, Wang Baole’s facial expression was ruthless. The purple glow surrounding his body had weakened into individual light rays, similar to purple filaments. Part of it was within Wang Baole’s body, and part of it was outside. As it warped and struggled, it appeared as if numerous purple hairs were growing out of Wang Baole’s body!
It was like some supernatural being!
It was incredibly shocking, and as the purple glow warped into numerous purple rays and struggled to break free from Wang Baole’s devouring seed, Wang Baole seemed to become savage in this life-and death crisis. His face was contorted into a look of ruthlessness and craziness. He knew that once the purple glow escaped, it would definitely return to swallow him again, and that meant that he could not allow himself to be distracted during this crucial life-or-death battle.
“Trying to escape? With me around, don’t think about coming and going as and when you please! Enter!” Wang Baole howled, exerting all his effort to manipulate the devouring seed within his body so that it could release an even stronger suction force.
The suction force was so strong that even the silver nine-inch Spirit Root within Wang Baole’s body started to vibrate and destabilize. Wang Baole had managed to complete more than half of his Ancient Martial Arts breakthrough, but he had not completely stepped into the True Breath state. Therefore, the Spirit Root had not been entirely integrated with Wang Baole’s flesh and blood. To the devouring seed, the nine-inch Spirit Root was considered a foreign body, unlike Wang Baole’s flesh.
Realizing that his Spirit Root was destabilizing, Wang Baole grew anxious. However, as he reflexively decreased the suction force of the devouring seed, the purple glow sensed an opportunity and suddenly powered up, trying to break free.
“I’ll risk it!” Seeing what was happening, Wang Baole roared as he disregarded the Spirit Root and increased the devouring seed’s suction force, maintaining it at the highest level. Very quickly, the purple glow was absorbed into his body bit by bit once again. His Spirit Root was also driven closer toward the devouring seed within his body.
It was directly integrated into Wang Baole’s devouring seed!
Noticing his Spirit Root gradually being integrated into the devouring seed, Wang Baole was upset and angry, becoming even more savage. Finally, after a while, his Spirit Root was completely integrated into the devouring seed. The purple glow outside his body was eventually completely sucked into his body, right into the devouring seed!
The moment that the purple glow was being sucked into the devouring seed, it was like two black holes with absorbing capabilities were stacked together. A deafening roar, seemingly capable of breaking the heaven and earth, immediately erupted from Wang Baole’s body like a hurricane!
It swept in all directions, swallowing Wang Baole’s body right inside it!
As the loud boom reverberated, Wang Baole’s body vibrated vigorously as fresh blood spurted out from his mouth. His body seemed to have lost all strength as it fell right from the air with a bang, landing heavily on the floor. Without any means to defend himself, he fainted.
Even though he was unconscious, the hurricane within his body remained unabated and became even more savage. The devouring seed and purple glow were fighting each other head on. It was a battle of life-and-death between two different devouring forces within Wang Baole’s body!
The purple glow’s struggle and its absorption caused Wang Baole to visibly wither and appear emaciated. At the same time, the swallowing of the purple glow by the devouring seed helped to recover Wang Baole’s body to its original state.
Just like that, the battle between the two side reached the climax, tearing apart Wang Baole’s meridians. In the end, the purple glow was defeated, no longer retaliating as it gradually weakened. The devouring seed grabbed onto the opportunity, integrating with it directly!
With this integration, Wang Baole’s trembling body gradually calmed down. However, his spirits were weakened, and his flame of life seemed as if it would go out at any moment.
However, as the devouring seed within his body integrated with the purple glow, a purple root appeared outside the devouring seed. At one glance, it looked similar to the Spirit Root, but if one were to examine it closely, one would realize that it appeared more like the purple ray that the devouring seed had swallowed!
The purple ray-like roots spread out within Wang Baole’s body with the devouring seed as its center. As it entered his torn meridians, it healed them and combined with them, seemingly replacing the Spirit Root, forming an unusual and never-before-seen mutated spirit meridians!
Ten percent, twenty percent...
The speed at which it was spreading and healing grew ever faster. Within the blink of an eye, a quarter of the process was completed, creeping toward thirty percent!
Wang Baole’s spirit rapidly recovered as the purple glow Spirit Root healed and spread. As thirty percent of the meridians in his body combined with the purple glow Spirit Root, his spirit had already recuperated to the peak state before he was attacked!
Before he was attacked by the purple glow, Wang Baole was already extremely strong. Coupled with the eighty percent integration of his meridians, his spirit had been extremely strong.
However, right now, the purple glow Spirit Root had only spread a third of the way but could already allow Wang Baole to return to his previous peak state. From this, it was clear that the purple glow Spirit Root was unbelievable strong!
Without stopping, it continued to spread, and as Wang Baole’s aura grew in strength, the integration of his meridians increased from thirty to forty to fifty percent...
It eventually reached... ninety percent!
Even though he was still unconscious, the suppressive force that emanated from his body was extremely terrifying. However, it had not ended yet—the spread was still ongoing!
After the time of a few breaths, the purple glow Spirit Root had already spread entirely throughout Wang Baole’s body, causing all his meridians to be transformed into spirit meridians. Even those minor, inaccessible meridians had been influenced. It appeared that more than a hundred percent had been achieved, reaching the extremes of what was humanly possible.
After all that, the devouring seed finally eased up, forming a whirling black hole that replaced Wang Baole’s dantian as it quieted down.
It was quiet everywhere, and the suppressive force formed by the sea of light disappeared. The sky was dark, and Wang Baole lay there, slowly opening his eyes as he came to.
The moment that he opened his eyes, a faint purple glow flashed through them!
