Chapter 878: Restriction of spirit domain
The purified energy flowed into Max’s body, racing through his meridians like icy rivers. At first, his muscles stiffened, and his blood felt like it had frozen solid, his veins ringing with a high-pitched buzzing sound. But then, his Unholy Trinity Physique activated.
His body adapted, converting the deadly Yin energy into something harmless, stabilizing his blood flow, and storing the Yin essence deep inside his dantian.
Max’s expression changed from caution to joy. It works! he thought. His body, his constitution, and his black flames were the perfect counter to the Yin cave’s violent power. He even began to feel a faint tug on his cultivation barrier—it was loosening.
Seeing this, the general’s expression flickered with rare surprise. He had expected Max to struggle, maybe even beg for assistance halfway through. Instead, the young man was devouring the Yin energy like a starving beast, his flames refining it into pure power with frightening efficiency.
"This boy..." the general muttered under his breath, shaking his head slightly but smiling all the same.
Max, meanwhile, focused completely on his cultivation. The more he absorbed, the stronger the pull from his barrier became. His aura swelled as if it was on the verge of exploding.
The Yin mana poured into him like endless rivers, yet his body showed no sign of collapse—only growth. His foundation was deep, built through countless battles and opportunities, but it also meant his breakthrough required far more energy than ordinary experts.
Still, he pushed on, his black flames blazing even brighter. The once-violent Yin energy now flowed obediently into him, refined into pure mana and stored inside his core.
"Good boy," the general exclaimed finally, unable to hide his praise. "However, your foundation is deeper than I thought. I’m afraid you will need far more energy than this to break into Champion Rank. Even so... you might really succeed."
"It’s all thanks to the reminder from my senior," Max said, his voice carrying genuine gratitude as he felt the surge of mana flowing wildly through his body. His meridians trembled with power, his core pulsed with an intense rhythm, and his black flames burned with an even fiercer brilliance than before. The Yin energy he had absorbed was terrifyingly pure, and as it refined into mana, he could feel every inch of his strength improving.
