Chapter 436 - 420: Physique Breaks Heavenly Venerate! (1/3)
Zhou Heng sat alone in a corner, his right hand pressing against the floor; on the surface, it looked as though he were meditating in cultivation, incredibly calm, but actually, massive changes were occurring within his body.
He was frantically devouring the metal essence inside the body of this King Level Puppet, continuously using it to strengthen his physical body, enhancing his brutal strength, toughness, and solidity.
Inside his body, every bone was like glaze, emitting a dazzling golden light. If it weren’t for the outer shell blocking it, in this dark space, it would undoubtedly shine like a bright sun, releasing light that illuminated heaven and earth.
This King Level Puppet, although it had once swept across the regions undefeatable, the king among kings, the overlord among the Heavenly Venerates, now without the support of Spirit Stones, was no different from a pile of scrap metal.
If it were a Magic Artifact, even if it were broken or damaged, as long as it wasn’t completely destroyed, it would still manage to fight back if someone tried to devour it, because the Formation connected to heaven and earth could autonomously absorb Spiritual Energy, maintaining a breath of survival.
But Puppets were completely different; they relied entirely on Spirit Stones for power. Without a supply of Spirit Stones, they were indeed useless; otherwise, why would the Puppet Sect have fallen in the past?
Zhou Heng absorbed the essence of this King Level Puppet effortlessly because they were originally one entity. He could even start devouring from the puppet’s head and move downwards through its body along an unimaginably long path, ensuring that no part was missed.
The rare metals of the Mortal Realm indeed couldn’t compare with those of the Immortal Realm; even if Zhou Heng devoured all the metal essence in the puppet’s head, his physique still infinitely approached the Divine Infant Realm. It wasn’t like the metal essence in that piece of the door from the Fairy Continent, which was terrifyingly potent!
Jumping from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Infant Realm was a threshold; Spiritual Power levels would increase at least five thousand times, and this was similarly reflected in the physique, demanding a massive amount of precious metal essence to make the leap.
By the time Zhou Heng reached the neck of the Puppet, he finally met a qualitative leap!
