"Engulf!"
Before anyone could count the number of essences, they heard Wutian's shout. The essences that were floating around him suddenly shattered and turned into a terrifying storm of essences. They were all absorbed into his body in one breath!
Of course, experts like the Nine City Lords had sharp eyes. Even though it was only for a moment, they could roughly estimate the number.
"This seems to be 20 million essences!" The Second City Lord, Feng Xinghai, frowned. His tone was full of shock.
"That's right, it's 20 million essences. This guy's wealth is beyond imagination. But why haven't we heard of him before?" The Fifth City Lord was puzzled.
The gazes of the City Lords all shot towards Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan in a tacit understanding. They wanted to get an answer from the two of them, but they were all disappointed in the end. The two of them only smiled at them and didn't explain further.
In reality, even Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan were extremely suspicious. Li Feng was brought up by them and could be said to know everything about him. However, since he returned from guarding the altar, he seemed to have become a completely different person and was extremely unfamiliar to them.
"What a bunch of idiots. They only care about wealth and did not notice Li Feng's strangeness." The Shadow Guard Commander shook his head and thought.
In this battle, he saw the Power of Fire, Power of Gold, Power of Wood, and Power of Earth in 'Li Feng'. This also meant that this guy had Four Spiritual Bodies. In the Dark City, it was rare to have Two Spiritual Bodies, let alone Four Spiritual Bodies!
There was another point. Since this guy had a Spiritual Body, he should not be able to absorb essences. He should only be able to absorb elemental energy. However, this guy had absorbed 20 million essences in one breath. This strange thing really made the Shadow Guard Commander feel very incredulous!
"It seems that this guy has a lot of secrets!" The Shadow Guard Commander thought to himself. He looked at the figure that was wrapped in the Power of Fake Thunder. He had a premonition that something was going to happen.
As the Shadow Guard Commander expected, the moment the Essence Qi entered Wutian's body, Wutian's momentum burst out. Under the dual refinement of the Pseudo Thunder Power and the majestic Essence Qi, Wutian's physical defense and strength soared like a rocket!
Furthermore, his cultivation level was also increasing rapidly. Soon, he had reached the peak of the Initial Stage.
In his Qi Sea, the Essence Qi was so thick that it was terrifying. It was like a divine liquid, flowing with colorful lights, which was extremely dazzling. The Fire Element Primordial Spirit and the Water Element Primordial Spirit opened their eyes wide, looking at him with a distressed face.
In their hearts, they were all thinking how great it would be if this was elemental energy!
"Still not enough?"
In comparison, Wutian was even more annoyed. This was because he discovered to his dismay that 20 million essence points wasn't enough to temper his mortal body. In just two or three breaths of time, it was completely consumed.
And this was with the help of the pseudo lightning. Without the pseudo lightning, the amount of essence required was something that Wutian didn't dare to imagine.
However, he wouldn't care about ordinary essences.
The output of the two ordinary spirit veins over the years was more than a hundred million. A few hundred million was nothing to Wutian. With a wave of his hand, thirty million essences were extracted from the Star Realm and absorbed into his body in an instant.
Such a horrifying refining method left everyone gasping for breath. They gasped for breath, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Normally speaking, when a Divine Transformation realm powerhouse refined essence, they would only be able to refine several tens of thousands at a time. If there were too many then their body would explode. However, this person had swallowed up several tens of millions of essence points. This was simply too horrifying!
Although all of this seemed slow, it actually happened in just five or six breaths of time.
The Little Demon King was stunned by Wutian's actions. After he regained his composure, he immediately shouted at Kong Hanqing, "He is making a breakthrough in his cultivation! Hurry and stop him! If he makes a breakthrough then we will all die!"
As he shouted out, his body trembled. He didn't hesitate to burn his life force to revive the Demon Slaying Blade.
A metallic sound echoed out, tearing through the world. Wutian's arm shook and he involuntarily let go. Taking advantage of this chance, the Demon Slaying Blade shot into the skies. Then, it expanded until it was over a thousand feet long. A brilliant purple light shined and a rain of light rose up. It was like a divine weapon had been born, its power terrifying!
"Father, farewell forever. Big Brother Chong, wait for me, I will come to accompany you!" On the other side, Kong Hanqing's eyes were filled with grief and sorrow. As she looked at her father in the distance, all of the emotions in her eyes instantly turned into killing intent and decisiveness.
"Slaughter puppet, nine by nine return to one!"
Kong Hanqing burned the last of her life force to use this forbidden killing move. Five slaughter puppets suddenly rushed towards Lin Ming. Finally, they fused together, turning into a thousand foot tall slaughter puppet king that was covered in a blood red light!
The slaughter puppet king took a step forwards, instantly arriving a thousand feet away from Wutian. A fist as large as a house smashed apart the void for a hundred miles, shaking the heavens and earth. In truth, this fist was like the fist of a peerless death god, capable of annihilating all life!
Nine by nine return to one was originally a move that required nine slaughter puppets to fuse together. Only then could it be considered a true forbidden killing move. Just a single strike was enough to drown out a great circle powerhouse!
Unfortunately, four of them had been destroyed by Wutian. Even so, this merged slaughter puppet king was still capable of annihilating all Great Circle powerhouses. There was no suspense.
Although its power was terrifying, the price was not something that ordinary people could bear. This was because it required one's life as the price. Unless one had the determination to die, no one would dare to do so.
Moreover, there was only one strike. Once it was used, regardless of whether the opponent was killed or not, the user would only end up dying. It was only a matter of time!
"You are all burning your life force. It seems like you all want to kill me." Wutian said coldly, his face expressionless.
Suddenly, his body shook, and an unprecedented aura burst out of his body. It was as if a peerless demon king had come into being. His aura pierced through the clouds, shaking the heavens!
The surrounding mountains and rivers were destroyed, the earth cracked and sank. Just the aura emitted was enough to cause the void to crack inch by inch like a spider web. Wutian stood in a pitch-black space crack, like a God of War. His powerful aura was intimidating in all directions, shocking people's minds!
"Breakthrough, I've finally broken through. The cultivation of the Lower Success Stage, the strength and defense of the Lower Success Stage. My overall combat strength has almost doubled. Now it's time to settle the score." Wutian murmured with indescribable joy in his voice.
After many twists and turns, he had finally broken through. Suppressing his joy, he looked up at Kong Hanqing and the Little Demon King and said indifferently, "I've let you be proud for so long. It's time to stop. Now, I'll show you what real combat strength is. Destroy!"
Turning his gaze, Wutian looked at the Demon-slaying Blade and the Slaughter Puppet King. His battle intent burst out of his eyes. His long hair danced behind his head and his ragged robe rustled. It was as if Sikong Lie's fighting spirit had possessed him, showing the aura of an overlord!
"Ha!"
Just as the Demon-slaying Blade and the Slaughter Puppet King were about to descend, Wutian finally moved. With a shout, he punched out with both hands. His eyes flashed like lightning. He did not underestimate his opponent. His left hand clashed with the Demon-slaying Blade in the air, while his right hand clashed with the Slaughter Puppet King!
What was beyond everyone's imagination was that the collision between the two did not explode with a terrifying aura, nor did it have a destructive force that could destroy everything. Everything was so calm. The crowd was abnormally quiet. Even the desolate forest fell into an eerie silence!
However, this silence didn't continue for long. After three breaths of time, two clanging sounds that tore apart the heavens and the earth suddenly exploded out, and a peerlessly terrifying and destructive aura finally erupted!
In this expanse of the heavens and the earth, it was as if the end of the world had arrived. Mountains collapsed with a bang while rumbling sounds that were like the roars of desolate beasts shook the entire river of stars. Towering ancient trees shattered along with these sounds, and then they were crushed into powder as if they were dry weeds!
An area of thousands of miles was razed to the ground in an instant. The abyss was bottomless and the river flowed backward, drowning everything. This was a scene of misery and suffering. It was like the Asura Hell. It was horrifying!
The Little Demon King and Kong Hanqing bore the brunt of the impact. It was as if they had been hit by two giant mountains. Their bodies flew out horizontally and smashed into the depths of the earth. Any struggle was futile!
Even the onlookers were annihilated. Those with high cultivations were still able to escape in a sorry state, but those with low cultivations were all affected by the aftershocks without exception. They were all turned into a bloody mist and evaporated into the air!
Only a few people stood proudly in the storm and the aftershocks. Their gazes were fixed on the sky, and the shock in their eyes was completely undisguised.
In the void, Wutian looked indifferent. His long hair fluttered in the wind. His hands, which were clenched into fists, had unfolded and grasped the Demon-slaying Blade and the Slaughter Puppet King tightly!
That's right! He grabbed them!
Wutian held the Demon-slaying Blade in his left hand and the Slaughter Puppet King's fist in his right hand. He stood between the two. No matter how hard the Demon-slaying Blade and the Slaughter Puppet King struggled, they could not escape from his grasp.
At this moment, everyone, including the Shadow Guardian Commander, had an illusion. They felt that it was no longer a human but a real God of War!
"What powerful strength!" Sikong Yanran exclaimed.
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg." Cang Zheng smiled faintly.
"Just the tip of the iceberg?" Sikong Yanran was shocked. This strength was just the tip of the iceberg. How powerful was he?
Suddenly, the ground exploded and soil flew everywhere. The Little Demon King rushed out from the ground. He was bleeding all over and looked battered and exhausted. He looked at Wutian opposite him with a ferocious and twisted expression. He was filled with horror and anger!
In the end, he could not help but roar at Wutian. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Among the younger generation in the City of Darkness, I, the Little Demon King, am the number one. You are not worthy. Go to hell!"
He activated his will and burned his vitality. The Demon-slaying Blade trembled and buzzed, but it could not break free from Wutian's grasp.
"How could this be?" The Little Demon King's eyes widened in anger and horror.
"Alas!" With a sigh, Kong Hanqing walked out of the ground with difficulty. Her once peerless beauty had disappeared without a trace. She had been replaced by an old woman with one foot in the grave.
Her turbid and dim eyes looked at the Little Demon King and then at Wutian. She said in a hoarse voice, "We are destined to lose this battle. However, Li Feng, I have said that even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
"With my soul as the guide, the Slaughtering Puppet King, explode!" Kong Hanqing murmured. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but Wutian heard it clearly.
"The self-detonating Slaughtering Puppet King can indeed kill me, but I won't give you the chance," Wutian said expressionlessly as he looked at the Slaughtering Puppet King that was glowing with bloody light.
Wutian released his hand and grabbed at the air. Kong Hanqing's body floated up uncontrollably, then turned into a ray of light and was pulled over by Wutian.
Grabbing her by the neck, the elemental energy surged and shattered the Soul Imprint that Kong Hanqing had left on the Slaughtering Puppet King. With the Soul Imprint erased, the bloody light on the Slaughtering Puppet King immediately dissipated, and it became a real puppet.
After doing all this, Wutian said indifferently, "Before Chong Feng died, he asked me to do something. He asked me not to kill you. If you hadn't tried so hard to kill me, I would have spared your life. Unfortunately, you didn't cherish it, so I can only send you to reunite with Chong Feng."
Wutian didn't give her a chance to speak. Energy gushed out from his palm, and with a boom, Kong Hanqing's body turned into a bloody mist that rose into the air!
However, the moment Wutian destroyed Kong Hanqing, the dormant Slaughtering Puppet King suddenly came to life and punched him in the chest. The intense bloody light was like a burning flame, terrifying and shocking!
This punch came so quickly that Wutian didn't have time to defend himself. He was hit squarely, and blood spurted out. Then, like a meteorite, he smashed into a crack in the abyss!
