Chapter 2100: Chapter 2097: Absorbing the Power of the Crystal Core
Ling Feng furrowed his brow. If he could break through this prohibition, could he absorb the power within it? But this prohibition...
At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly felt the prohibition loosen slightly. He quickly intensified the operation of the Blood Demon Method, and at last, through his efforts, the method truly worked.
The power within Ling Feng’s body attached itself to the Crystal Core like tendrils, dense and numerous, resembling blood vessels growing on the core. After these tendrils penetrated, they slowly began to disintegrate the prohibition on the Crystal Core.
With the disappearance of the prohibition, the power inside surged madly into Ling Feng’s body.
Ling Feng was shocked. He hadn’t expected the Crystal Core to contain such formidable power. He immediately adjusted his breathing, striving to absorb the power within the core.
The changes in Ling Feng also caught the attention of the Demon God and Xiao Xi. The Demon God was speechless within Ling Feng’s body: "This kid... actually has a cultivation technique to break the prohibition on the Crystal Core and absorb the power within. This is simply terrifying!"
"Originally, I thought this kid’s qualifications were average, needing more time to enhance cultivation, but now... with the assistance of this cultivation technique, the time required for him to ascend to the Realm of the Demon God will be greatly reduced!"
Thinking of this, an excited expression appeared on the Demon God’s face.
Xiao Xi showed a horrified expression at the moment Ling Feng absorbed the core’s power, but it quickly vanished. Although Ling Feng didn’t notice due to his concentration on absorbing the power, it didn’t escape the Demon God’s perception.
"As expected, this guy... is a bit strange!" The Demon God stroked his chin, thinking, "I previously only sensed this guy’s physique was somewhat mysterious, but there might be other hidden matters!"
After a few minutes, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, releasing his tightly clenched hands. The Crystal Core in his hands had turned to powder, scattered on the ground.
"Big Brother Ling, are you okay?" Xiao Xi stepped forward, looking at Ling Feng with an indescribable expression in his eyes.
Ling Feng smiled: "I feel great; my body is now filled with power. It seems I can now absorb the power from the Void Demon Crystal Core, which will accelerate my strength enhancement."
Speaking, Ling Feng glanced at those crystal cores, his eyes filled with a burning light: "I need to enter seclusion for cultivation now. Xiao Xi, if you notice anything unusual, wake me immediately, understand?"
Xiao Xi nodded: "I will! Big Brother Ling, rest assured!"
Ling Feng’s body swayed, and he sat atop the pile of crystal cores, fully operating the Blood Demon Method, while Xiao Xi guarded the surroundings within dozens of kilometers.
After all, this was the Demon Controlling Battlefield. Though the place they stayed was relatively safe, occasionally powerful Void Demons might pass by, and it was Xiao Xi’s task to wake Ling Feng if any approached, preparing for battle.
Ling Feng sat atop the crystal core pile, fully deploying the Blood Demon Method. Countless filaments flew from his body, landing on the hundreds and thousands of crystal cores below him.
After dozens of breaths, the thousand crystal cores began to disintegrate one by one. Simultaneously, waves of powerful energy flowed through Ling Feng’s filaments, flooding into his body.
The energy within the Void Demon Crystal Core was the Void Demon’s primal power. So much power flooding into Ling Feng’s body made him feel his strength had improved exponentially, and he also noticed his body gradually undergoing some changes!
The power of the Void Demon, the Long-haired Demon, combined with Ling Feng’s cultivation of the Dragon God Technique and other powers—these powers continually merged within him, forming a stronger and more volatile force.
Roar! Ling Feng let out a low growl, black patterns emerged on his body, each one seemingly containing infinite power.
For a full two hours, Ling Feng finally absorbed all the power from the crystal cores completely. At this moment, he had transformed totally, his body becoming colossal, resembling a giant.
Moreover, scales appeared on his body, and the Long-haired Demon’s horn on his forehead evolved into a vertical eye. When opened, it was pitch black inside, resembling a boundless abyss, causing fear at first glance.
Gasping heavily, Ling Feng’s body gradually returned to its original form.
"Ling Feng, are you alright?" The Demon God’s voice came.
Ling Feng clenched his fist, speaking solemnly: "I feel great, and my strength has already reached the peak of an Eighth Level Demon, close to reaching the Ninth Level Demon at any moment! Once I break through the Ninth Level Demon, I’ll have the Demon King’s power!"
The Demon God nodded, sighing: "I never imagined your strength would increase so quickly! Isn’t absorbing so many Void Demon crystal cores bad for you?"
Ling Feng smiled: "Not only not bad, but I even gained extra rewards!"
Extra rewards? The Demon God asked: "How so?"
"Because I gathered a lot of information from these crystal cores, telling me exactly what the Void Demon is!" Ling Feng said deeply.
The Demon God was still somewhat puzzled, so Ling Feng explained: "Demon God, what do you think the Void Demon is?"
The Demon God frowned: "Void Demons are creatures that enter the Phantom Demon Continent through the Void Gate. They come from the Void Path, but their actual origin is something I’m unclear about. However, I researched years ago that Void Demons do not reproduce independently, or else the Phantom Demon Continent would’ve long been overrun by them!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "Void Demons naturally do not reproduce as they are not true life forms!"
"What? What do you mean?" The Demon God was shocked: "They are not true life forms, could it be..."
Ling Feng nodded: "That’s right; they are mere puppets created by the Void Path. Strictly speaking, they are puppets set on the War God’s Path, and their energy crystal cores, which I just absorbed, are their driving cores!"
Saying this, Ling Feng felt a bit emotional. He had previously encountered the Mechanical Core of the Atlantis Divine Race but compared to the Void Demon, that was just the minor witch seeing the great witch!
The Void Demons, as puppets, are infinitely close to actual life forms, but they lack the fundamental functionality of organisms, which is reproductive capability!
Realizing this fact, Ling Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. The more he understood about the Void Path, the more confident he would be in traversing it in the future.
