Xiaoxiao.

The two finally absorbed the Vermilion Fruit, and Kuang Zheng's anxious heart finally settled down a little.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and began to carefully examine his current situation.

Recalling the thrilling battle just now, Kuang Zheng's heart was still pounding like a drum.

Those thrilling and exciting scenes kept flashing through his mind.

At that time, he had given his all to the incredibly powerful leader of the Iron-Eating Beasts, but in the end, he still couldn't withstand the opponent's fatal final blow.

At that moment, Kuang Zheng truly felt the shadow of death approaching him step by step. However, his strong desire to live and his deep unwillingness to give up his life so easily made him unwilling to do so.

Over the years, Kuang Zheng has gone through countless hardships and struggles on the brink of life and death.

After enduring so much hardship, the spiritual energy problem that has long plagued Ying Yue and Wu Ren is about to be solved, because the Vermilion Fruit is right in front of them.

I thought all the hardships would gradually fade away with time, and a bright future was within reach.

But who could have predicted that fate would play such a cruel joke on him at this moment?

The leader of the Iron-Eating Beasts became an insurmountable barrier; its powerful attacks instilled despair.

Is today really the end of his life?

Thinking of this, an unprecedented sense of resentment surged into his heart like a raging tide, instantly overwhelming Zheng Zheng.

This sense of resentment seemed to ignite a long-dormant madness deep within his soul, making him feel as if he were on fire.

At this critical moment, Kuang Zheng gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind that even if it meant his death, he would perish together with his opponent!

So, Kuang Zheng gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and endured the excruciating pain that felt like it was tearing his body to pieces. He desperately mobilized the little spiritual energy left in his body and pushed it to its limit with all his might.

However, how could his already severely injured body withstand such a massive and surging force?

The moment the spiritual energy surged into his meridians, the already violent power, like a beast breaking free of its cage, instantly lost control.

Kuang Zheng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he had been swept into an unstoppable storm, completely unable to control his body and strength.

Just at this critical moment, the Iron-Eating Beast leader's thunderous attack came crashing down like a mountain crushing an egg.

A deafeningly loud thud resounded as an immense force slammed into Kuang Zheng.

In an instant, Kuang Zheng felt as if his body had been crushed by a giant mountain. His bones made a chilling cracking sound, and his internal organs were severely damaged. It was as if his entire body had been completely pulverized.

But at this critical moment, something unexpected happened—Kuang Zheng suddenly entered an extremely strange state.

In this state, he was able to clearly "see" inside his own body!

He first saw the intricate network of meridians within his body, which were trembling violently due to the raging true energy.

Then, he "saw" the true energy raging and rampaging through his body, like a wild horse, frantically assaulting his fragile meridians and internal organs.

As his "gaze" moved around, Kuang Zheng finally fixed his gaze on his own sea of ​​consciousness.

He had imagined countless times what a breathtaking scene he would witness in his sea of ​​consciousness after successfully breaking through to the Void Realm.

Unexpectedly, this moment came so quickly and in such a mysterious and strange way.

He gazed up at the vast, boundless sky filled with the brilliant stars, like an innocent child.

Those twinkling stars are like countless tiny and mysterious particles in the ocean of the world, and each particle seems to contain a unique consciousness belonging exclusively to Kuang Zheng.

Some of these ideas are unforgettable fragments of memory, while others are fantastical and imaginative imaginings.

Some represent the beautiful dreams we once cherished, while others embody the profound knowledge that we have accumulated along the way...

Just as Kuang Zheng was completely immersed in the dreamlike scene created by the starry sky, something unexpected happened—suddenly, one of the particles in his sea of ​​consciousness emitted an extremely dazzling light!

At first, the light was only the size of a car headlight, but in the blink of an eye, the intense light spread rapidly at an astonishing speed, until it enveloped the entire area within his sight in this blinding light.

At that very moment, an unknown and incredibly powerful alien consciousness suddenly and without warning flashed into the depths of Kuang Zheng's mind.

At the same time, his previously detached consciousness returned to his physical body as quickly as a weary bird returning to its nest.

Kuang Zheng, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly seemed to have a final burst of energy before death. With his last bit of strength, he slowly raised his trembling right hand, his gaze firm and resolute, pointing directly at the majestic Iron-Eating Beast leader before him.

At that very moment, an astonishing and unbelievable scene unfolded!

The leader of the Iron-Eating Beasts, who had already gained an absolute advantage in this fierce battle, suddenly seemed to see the most terrifying sight in the world, and his hideous face was instantly filled with terror.

Its massive and powerful body, as large as a mountain, flew uncontrollably toward Kuang Zheng's outstretched right hand, as if it were being held tightly by an invisible and powerful magnetic force.

As they drew closer, the Iron-Eating Beast leader's muscles, which had been brimming with boundless power and as hard as a rock, began to visibly shrivel up rapidly, like a deflated balloon, losing its former might and domineering presence in the blink of an eye.

Not only was its body rapidly shrinking, but the immense power within it was also being devoured by Kuang Zheng's right hand like a flood breaking through a dam.

That terrifying suction force was like the jaws of a giant beast from the abyss, greedily and mercilessly tearing at the leader of the iron-eating beasts.

No matter how desperately it struggled and resisted, trying its best to break free from this strange restraint, all its efforts were in vain.

On the contrary, the more it struggled, the stronger the suction became, firmly trapping it in place, unable to move.

Faced with such a desperate situation, the leader of the Iron-Eating Beasts felt an unprecedented and immense fear welling up within him.

This fear overwhelmed its reason like a tidal wave, leaving it only able to let out mournful, desperate screams.

These roars were precisely the terrifying sounds that the people in the distance heard.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng felt as if he had entered the womb, and an unprecedented sense of comfort filled his limbs and bones.

The previously depleted spiritual energy was instantly replenished, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely replenished.

Meanwhile, spiritual energy continued to pour in frantically, causing the meridians in the body to expand continuously under the support of this massive amount of spiritual energy.

His cultivation level improved rapidly, from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, the late stage, and finally to the peak of the late stage, just a hair's breadth away from the early stage of Enlightenment.

The immense sense of power made him unable to resist letting out a long roar to the sky.

The remaining iron-eating beasts were so terrified by the powerful roar that they abandoned their opponents and scrambled away into the depths of the wilderness, no longer caring about their enemies.

After Kuang Zheng fully integrated the inheritance, he finally obtained his first cultivation technique, named "Soul Devouring Technique"!

Soul Devouring is divided into three stages: Devouring Body, Devouring God, and Devouring Soul!

Kuang Zheng hasn't even mastered the initial stage of Devouring Body yet; he's barely even scratched the surface.

However, thanks to the Soul Devouring Technique, he will no longer be troubled by insufficient spiritual energy. Even if he were to retreat to the three great empires now, he could cultivate by absorbing the internal energy of martial artists and even the life force of ordinary people.

However, that would be against nature and inhumane, and ordinary people's internal strength and vitality are too insignificant.

Even if they devoured all the people from the three great empires, they still wouldn't be able to break through to the legendary Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Excessive killing will inevitably bring divine punishment.

By then, it will be too late to regret it.

Such power is something Kuang Zheng disdains; his gaze is fixed on the Heavenly Dao, and transcending tribulation is merely the first step.

With the Soul Devouring Technique, there will never be a shortage of spiritual energy again, because although it is not an offensive technique, when cultivated to its extreme, it can transform the energy of all things in the world into one's own.

Although it has no offensive capabilities, it is exactly what he needs right now.

Only then can it truly be described as "the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!"
