Chapter 28: The Mighty Meteor Tears
While Tang San was absorbing the Mandala Snake's soul ring, Wang Feng was absorbing the soul ring of the 6,000-year soul beast, the Golden Lightning Leopard!
Sitting cross-legged, Wang Feng took a deep breath, focusing entirely on his Blue Silver Martial Soul in his consciousness. Simultaneously, his fingers guided soul power, slowly directing the shining purple soul ring to descend onto his head.
As the soul ring approached, a pressure akin to Mount Tai pressing down enveloped Wang Feng. The pressure brought by the 6,000-year soul ring was like a sudden, overwhelming tsunami, impacting Wang Feng's spirit and body before even being absorbed. Remember, Wang Feng didn't directly kill the Golden Lightning Leopard; he cunningly used it to kill the leopard itself and then delivered the final blow.
The Golden Lightning Leopard, a 6,000-year soul beast, possessed a certain level of intelligence and undoubtedly harbored intense resentment. The soul ring carried a deep sense of grudge.
Wang Feng grunted, his face turning crimson as traces of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Too powerful. A 6,000-year soul ring is incredibly formidable! Even a typical Soul Master with a fourth soul ring can only absorb a 5,000-year soul ring!"
"Terrifying," Wang Feng murmured to himself. Even before absorption, the pressure from the 6,000-year soul ring and the resentment of the Golden Lightning Leopard were almost making him collapse.
If he absorbed it, wouldn't his body explode?
Indeed, that's what happened. Wang Feng could assert that, with his current physical constitution, absorbing a 6,000-year soul ring would typically lead to a dead end. Even if his physical strength were doubled, it would still be nearly impossible.
An ordinary Soul Master might die over a dozen times without successfully absorbing it. But...
"I have the Meteor Tears!"
Wang Feng's lips curled into a smile. This substance was transformed from the tears of the Life Spirit King in the Star Dou Forest, integrated with his heart.
It possessed extremely potent self-healing abilities and, later on, could increase the speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. In simple terms, it was extremely challenging for Wang Feng to die. Unless his soul consciousness was completely obliterated, just sustaining physical injuries wouldn't be enough to kill him.
"Come on!"
Suppressing the tumultuous blood within him, Wang Feng unfolded his Blue Silver Martial Soul and manipulated soul power, letting the 6,000-year soul ring slowly descend onto his head, enveloping his body.
In an instant, an energy akin to a torrential flood, ignorant and endless, surged into his body!
Boom!
Wang Feng's mind instantly exploded! His body, like a small coastal town, faced the torrent of energy descending from the sky, sweeping away everything—vehicles, streets, pedestrians, shops, and more—completely submerged!
First, Wang Feng's skin displayed numerous bloodshot lines, faintly cracking open with countless fissures. Then, the internal muscle fibers, cell tissues, and more were rapidly destroyed by the violent surge of energy, right down to the bones, which couldn't withstand the onslaught and began crisply cracking.
Wang Feng's entire body, from head to toe, limbs, organs, cells, and nerves, rapidly shattered!
If viewed from a distance, Wang Feng looked like a figure made of blood!
The excruciating pain caused by this extreme destruction instantly drowned out the majority of Wang Feng's consciousness. Only a lingering soul determination circled around the Blue Silver Martial Soul in his consciousness.
The Starlight Fox crouched nearby, looking at Wang Feng with a remarkably human-like expression of pity.
This human, although incredulously saving him, was too weak. Trying to absorb the 6,000-year soul ring of the Golden Lightning Leopard was utterly impossible! Perhaps, if he were ten times stronger, there might be a slight chance?
At this moment, within Wang Feng's consciousness, a Blue Lotus emitted a faint light, gently swaying and rotating.
In an instant, as if finding an outlet for a torrential flood, the surging energy swept over Wang Feng's body, rushing into the Blue Lotus.
On the lotus platform, the smallest bud blossomed into a golden lotus.
The violent energy formed a vortex resembling a purple sea, surging into the lotus!
In an instant, the golden lotus radiated brightly. The initially slightly open bud quietly bloomed again, appearing to grow larger, and the golden lotus leaves became fuller and larger!
Crackling!
Golden lightning surrounded the lotus, creating thunderous flashes, an extremely dazzling display!
Finally, imprinted on the lotus leaves, it added a bit of divine aura to the golden lotus!
Swish!
The golden lotus moved silently, incredibly fast, rushing through Wang Feng's consciousness as if frolicking playfully...
At the same time, Wang Feng's body almost entirely shattered.
Except for the glowing heart.
Like teardrop-shaped Meteor Tears, a gentle energy surged from the heart's center within the human body, flowing into Wang Feng's entire being like a returning tide.
This energy, driven by the stored energy within Wang Feng's body, circulated throughout him. Each time it passed through a place that had been thoroughly destroyed, it was like applying Doraemon's time cloth from his pocket. In an instant, everything was restored anew!
However, what differed was that the regenerated body became even more robust in every part!
The ferocious energy contained in the 6,000-year soul ring, despite destroying Wang Feng's body, gave him an opportunity for rebirth!
During the recovery of the energy released by the Meteor Tears, Wang Feng's body quickly rejuvenated and became more formidable!
Every inch of muscle became compact and seamless, filled with explosive power. The shattered bones seemed as if they had undergone a thorough remolding of steel, becoming as tough as if they had been refined by countless hammers. Even the skin became fairer and smoother!
Even Wang Feng's entire physique, under the process of remolding, grew several centimeters taller.
Looking at the six-year-old child, he appeared as robust as a ten-year-old.
Outside, the Starlight Fox widened its fox eyes.
It lingered around Wang Feng's body.
At this moment, Wang Feng's entire body seemed to be enveloped in a transparent energy, as if about to break free from the cocoon and undergo a rebirth.
It also sensed a wave of life-filled energy seemingly repairing this human child.
That life-filled energy gave the Starlight Fox an illusion of wanting to worship it.
Meanwhile!
Wang Feng's consciousness gradually recovered, but the resentment of the Golden Lightning Beast transformed into a black Golden Lightning Leopard within his consciousness, roaring wildly toward Wang Feng's consciousness.
It seemed to want to devour the last shred of his soul consciousness.
However, Wang Feng's consciousness suddenly hesitated!
At this moment, seven different colored mysterious energies surged out from this consciousness! Surrounding Wang Feng's consciousness, they transformed into six pairs of illusory black energy wings.
Wang Feng's final trace of consciousness, within the embrace of these seven different energies, gradually transformed into a small figure identical to Wang Feng.
However, the entire body was surrounded by endless black mist, exuding an evil and sinister energy, giving this little figure a cold and evil aura as if it were a malevolent deity!
In an instant!
The soul consciousness of the Golden Lightning Beast, bearing resentment, suddenly quieted down as if it had seen a cat and mouse, trembling all over!
Shivering!
The little figure shrouded in black mist bent its palm towards the Golden Lightning Beast.
In an instant, the consciousness of the Golden Lightning Beast was directly taken into its hands, lightly squeezed, and crushed into pieces...
