Xiaoxiao.

Before they could even ask what they were supposed to do, Kuang Zheng said solemnly and earnestly, "At this moment, remember to keep your mind at ease. No matter what earth-shattering things happen next, you must not be distracted in the slightest! You must completely absorb the energy contained in this Vermilion Fruit."

Despite having countless questions in their minds, their long-standing experience with Kuangzheng had already instilled in them a deep trust in him, leaving them with no doubts or hesitations whatsoever.

Without saying a word, the two immediately sat down on the ground, quickly adjusted their breathing rhythm, calmed their emotions at lightning speed, and steadily guarded their minds.

At the same time, Kuang Zheng dared not slack off or delay in the slightest.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly clasped his hands together. Immediately afterward, a powerful and boundless spiritual energy, like a surging torrent, gushed forth from his palms and swept directly toward the bright red fruit.

In the blink of an eye, the dense spiritual energy, almost too rich to dissolve, poured into the interior of the Vermilion Fruit.

Just then, an astonishing scene unfolded!

The fiery red fruit, under the continuous blessing of spiritual energy, suddenly split in two!

This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, instantly waking Zhu Guo, who was still somewhat dazed.

Realizing the danger they were in, the two split vermilion fruits seemed to go mad, twisting and struggling desperately.

Its power was so great that even the aftershocks from its struggle were like surging waves, violently impacting the surrounding space and tearing it into countless tiny fragments in the blink of an eye!

If it were the previous Kuang Zheng who wanted to control these two Vermilion Fruits that had fallen into a frenzy, it would probably not have been an easy task.

However, at this moment, no matter how desperately they struggled, it was all in vain.

Upon seeing this, a resolute look flashed in Kuang Zheng's eyes. Suddenly, he swung his hands forcefully, and the spiritual energy within his body surged out like a burst dam, sweeping towards the two vermilion fruits with overwhelming force.

As a large amount of spiritual energy was poured in, an unparalleled pressure suddenly descended, firmly suppressing the two Vermilion Fruits that were still struggling.

Finally, under the intimidation of this terrifying pressure, the two vermilion fruits gradually stopped resisting and obediently quieted down.

Immediately afterwards, Kuang Zheng carefully manipulated his spiritual power, guiding the two subdued Vermilion Fruits slowly towards the top of their heads.

The moment the Vermilion Fruit reached above their heads, the fruit, which had been trembling slightly, suddenly became lifeless and completely still, as if its soul had been ripped away.

Immediately afterwards, the originally fiery red and juicy fruit pulp melted instantly, as if ice cream had encountered a sudden high temperature, and then transformed into a faint red mist.

The red mist, as if drawn by a mysterious force, flowed into their bodies from the tops of their heads like a nimble little sprite.

The moment the powerful energy of the Vermilion Fruit flowed into their bodies, their faces felt as if they were being pierced by thousands of fine needles at the same time, and expressions of extreme pain immediately appeared on their faces.

Sweat poured out like a burst dam, and his once rosy face instantly turned ashen white, as if he had lost all his vitality.

Kuang Zheng, who was watching intently, noticed something amiss with the two. He swiftly unleashed a burst of spiritual energy with his right hand, creating an impenetrable net that instantly enveloped them.

At the same time, he reached out with his left hand like a magnet, and the cores of the Iron-Eating Beast and the Fine-Scaled Wolf, which had been lying quietly on the ground, were attracted by an invisible force and flew to his left hand like birds returning to their nests.

The energy within the beast core surged into Kuang Zheng's body like a raging torrent.

Having obtained the vast and boundless power within the beast core, Kuang Zheng felt as if he had been injected with endless energy, and immediately increased his output of spiritual energy to the two of them.

As soon as the Vermilion Fruit's energy entered their bodies, it began to rampage, its immense destructive power seemingly tearing their bodies apart. The two, whose spiritual energy was nearly depleted, were immediately plunged into a life-or-death crisis.

Wherever that red power went, it was like a whirlwind, instantly churning the body into chaos.

The immense destructive power, like the claws of a demon, plunged the two into an abyss of no return, seemingly about to explode and die at any moment.

At this critical juncture, the righteous spiritual energy was delivered in just the right time, like a timely rain from heaven.

With this external force, the two of them were like drowning people grasping at a straw, enduring the excruciating pain and trying their best to calm their minds.

Then they used all their strength, like valiant warriors, to fight, to block, to devour, and to digest.

Once, twice, three times...

After withstanding countless fierce impacts from the energy transformed from the Vermilion Fruit, the raging and violent power finally became docile, like a tamed wild beast.

Devouring and transformation are about to begin!

The enormous crisis that had loomed over everyone for years has finally come to an end and become history.

Kuang Zheng stared intently at the two people, who, through arduous and extraordinary efforts, had finally succeeded in taming the violent energy contained within the Vermilion Fruit.

Seeing this, Kuang Zheng slowly stopped channeling spiritual energy into his hands, secretly relieved.

Looking again at those numerous beast cores that were originally shimmering with a fluorescent light, they all turned into ashes flying everywhere in an instant.

The two of them absorbed such a huge amount of energy. Fortunately, they had the energy from the beast core to support them, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fortunately, it's all in the past now, and they succeeded.

Kuang Zheng was so immersed in his immense joy that he completely failed to notice an extremely subtle detail—as the Vermilion Fruit gradually transformed into a hazy mist, two extremely thin wisps of red mist, like ghosts, silently slipped into the ground along the bodies of the two people, and then sped away at an astonishing speed towards the deeper underground.

And this bizarre scene remained unnoticed by anyone from beginning to end…

These two wisps of mysterious red mist possess a magical power that allows them to perfectly conceal themselves and remain undisturbed by the outside world.

The two wisps of red mist seemed to possess their own consciousness and soul, drifting lightly in the air like nimble spirits, slowly flying towards the depths of the wilderness.

They are like regulars in this mysterious place, and they know their surroundings like the back of their hand.

Whenever they were about to approach the territory of those powerful and ferocious beasts, the two wisps of red mist would always change direction at just the right moment, skillfully avoiding these dangerous areas and continuing to advance deeper without hesitation.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng's mind was completely occupied by Ying Yue and Wu Ren.

After years of arduous searching and countless days and nights of eager anticipation, the dream has finally come true at this moment, and all wishes have been fulfilled.

This sudden, overwhelming joy was like a surging tide, instantly engulfing his entire being and leaving him so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

His mind and body were filled with this immense joy, so he did not notice the strange change in the vermilion fruit.

Zhu Guo possessed unique methods of concealment, and due to his intentional actions, Kuang Zheng did not notice anything unusual.

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, Ying Yue and Wu Ren's condition had completely stabilized.

Their initially weak breathing gradually became steady and strong, their pale faces gradually regained color, and their bodily functions were returning to normal in an orderly manner.
