He did not attempt to break through when he was fighting against the Demon Race. Firstly, he was waiting for his senior uncle to send him uranium ore, and secondly, dissipating Primal Qi was not an easy thing to do.

Dispersing Qi Essence might not be difficult, but dispersing Jing Essence and Soul Essence is extremely difficult. Even though dispersing doesn't mean leaving absolutely nothing—if one truly has no Jing Essence and Soul Essence left, one is doomed to die.

This is similar to an ordinary person exhausting their physical strength through exercise, but how much exhaustion is considered complete?

Running 3,000 meters can leave a young person who lacks exercise exhausted, but even when exhausted, they still have physical strength left. The more important thing is mental fatigue. If they can withstand this fatigue, they can grit their teeth and keep running, even completing marathons of 5,000, 8,000, or 10,000 meters. Even if they say, "I can't run anymore," or "I'm going to die if I keep running," they can still run a few more laps even if you put a butcher's knife to their neck.

If this is the case for ordinary people, it is even more difficult for Si Ming, a body-refining martial artist, to exhaust his physical strength. Even if he punches for three days and three nights in a row, he is still full of energy on the fourth day.

If it weren't for the fact that the Demon-Sealing Pagoda happened to have the effect of absorbing Primal Qi, Si Ming might have had one of the women around him practice the evil art of replenishing yin by absorbing yang energy, thus satisfying the cultivation requirements by draining herself dry.

Most of the green light emitted by the uranium crystal was deflected by the ice wall, resulting in a dim but pervasive green glow in the space. This glow appeared as beautiful as a fairy tale, but it was actually an extremely strong form of radiation. If an ordinary person were exposed to this environment, they would instantly die from leukemia.

But for Si Ming, this level of nuclear radiation was far from enough, so he rubbed his hands together, turning the uranium crystal ore into powder, and absorbed it all into his body.

The next moment, he felt as if he had become a vampire, thrown into the midday desert and exposed to the scorching sun. His blood was boiling, and his skin became translucent, revealing his veins, muscles, and bone structure in a horrifying sight.

In addition, the meridians and blood vessels under Si Ming's skin also began to rebel, as if they had gained self-awareness and wanted to break free from their restraints and burst out of the body. They swelled up one by one, and like disgusting earthworms, they exhibited abnormal wriggling and contraction.

"Ah!"

Some people couldn't help but scream, because fleshy buds began to grow on Si Ming's body, piled up one after another, enough to trigger trypophobia. Moreover, these fleshy buds were wriggling disgustingly. Many people had already looked away, unable to bear to look any longer. However, the Si Clan sisters, Yu Shuying, Hongdou kept their eyes fixed on Si Ming, their eyes fixed on him. Among them, Si Huaruo and Hongdou made no attempt to hide their worry.

A moment later, Si Ming's body began to emit a green light. He stopped absorbing radiation and instead released it, seemingly becoming a radiation source himself. As the radiation intensified, the glow grew brighter, and the transparency of Si Ming's body became more pronounced until he was completely enveloped in a dazzling glow...

After the fluorescence dissipated, Si Ming reappeared in everyone's sight, looking completely different. His skin was smooth and delicate, with no more fleshy buds or earthworms visible. He seemed to have lost weight, but his eyes were still bright and piercing.

His dantian was still empty, without a trace of True Qi, but his soul power had recovered considerably, making him more energetic. His essence and qi filled his entire body, as if he had returned to his peak, or even surpassed it.

Si Ming stood up, looked at his hands, and exerted a sudden force. His skin began to crystallize, and his entire body became angular, as if he had become a gemstone.

"This is the Uranium Crystal State of the Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body. No wonder my master was able to fight the Demon Emperor to a standstill. Even without the ability to mutate through radiation, as a martial art, it is strong enough to withstand even the most powerful moves of the Spirit Transformation stage. Moreover, as a radiation source, it has a strong ability to expel residual energy and toxins from its body."

Si Ming that in this state he can withstand a nuclear explosion head-on, and even dive to a depth of 10,000 meters underwater without any effort.

"However, speed will be severely affected. Straight-line acceleration is one thing, but Movement Method movement within a small area will definitely become extremely clumsy. It's a trade-off, I suppose."

Si Ming exited the Uranium Crystal State, and his body returned to its smooth state. He stretched out his finger and gently poked the ice wall. With a crisp "crack," a finger mark appeared on the surface of the ice wall. Then, many dense, spiderweb-like cracks began to spread from the finger mark and quickly covered the entire ice wall.

Just when everyone thought the ice wall would shatter into countless fragments and fall, a flash of red appeared, and then the ice wall began to descend, melting into a puddle of water that emitted a white mist of steam.

"Did you succeed?" Si Huaruo asked with concern.

"Everything went smoothly, without any unexpected incidents. Knowing where the road is definitely a different feeling."

Si Ming looked up at the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda and smiled, "I'll rest for a bit first, and then test my growth later."

As he spoke, he took a bottle of Ten-Complete Great Supplement Pill from the monk of Glazed Temple, opened it, and poured them all into his mouth. Regardless of how many pills were inside, he swallowed them in one gulp and then began to regulate his breathing while frantically absorbing Spiritual Qi with the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace.

A moment later, Si Ming opened his eyes, his Jing Essence and spirit returning to their peak. Ignoring Fahong and the others' advice, he stepped forward, grabbed the chains, and once again infused his essence, energy, and spirit into them.

In an instant, a pillar of Primal Qi, three times thicker than before, surged forth and rushed up the chains. The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, which had been pushed back to the fifty-sixth floor by the impact of the Black Tide, suddenly became energized, its entire body shining brightly, with all sixty-four floors radiating light.

"Not enough, not enough, I can keep shooting!"

This time, Si Ming didn't intend to unleash his vital Primal Qi without restraint. The Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace operated wildly, desperately absorbing vacuum Zero-Point Energy and converting it into True Qi. At the same time, he poured all the remaining Ten-Complete Great Supplement Pill into his mouth.

While maintaining his output, he also replenished and absorbed energy, and a massive pillar of Primal Qi surged towards the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, its momentum seemingly about to burst it apart.

The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda grew brighter and brighter, its golden light blazing forth. From the top of the tower came a melodious bell, ringing one after another, clearing the mind of those who heard it and dispelling all distracting thoughts.

Then, the swastika symbol at the top of the tower rose into the sky as a pillar of light, spreading out its dazzling Buddhist power, causing the earth within a hundred miles to tremble. The Black Tide that had covered the sky and sun began to melt away, and warm sunlight shone down on the earth!

Just as everyone was about to cheer, they suddenly sensed something terrifying rapidly approaching them.

Chapter 844 World Extinction Consciousness

The aura from afar was so terrifying that everyone present changed their expressions the moment they sensed it. A long-forgotten biological instinct was reactivated—the fear instinct that animals in nature have when faced with natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tornadoes.

In the course of human evolution, this instinct had long since become incredibly dulled. However, stimulated by the rapidly approaching unknown entity, this instinct was once again drawn to the surface from the depths of the ocean, 20,000 miles below the surface.

It wasn't that everyone suddenly became more sensitive, but rather that the aura of disaster emanating from the unknown was simply too powerful, like the collapse of the heavens, leaving nowhere to escape. All living beings in the world would feel fear, and no one who possessed this emotion was an exception.

The people around Si Ming were alright; they were all Grandmaster- level experts after all. Although they felt their scalps tingle and a chill run down from their brains, down their spines, and into their rectums, they could still use their internal energy to resist and refused to give in. But the more than a thousand monks who provided the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda with Primal Qi could not withstand it.

They were already weakened by the depletion of their Primal Qi, and were in poor condition. Although their will was strong enough and they were ready to die, without the protection of a proper Foundation, they were like rootless duckweed drifting on the water. They immediately went black and fell into a coma.

"Quickly Si Ming the delivery!"

Si Jingyu and Yu Shuying made the same decision: they must preserve Si Ming's Primal Qi as much as possible, and not let him become completely exhausted as before, so that he would still have the strength to fight even if a powerful enemy came.

Hongdou, who had the second highest cultivation level present, immediately struck out with her palm. When she hit Si Ming, the surrounding space distorted, and in the blink of an eye, she teleported Si Ming to a distance, forcibly severing his connection with the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

"What the hell kind of monster is this?!"

Shi Yuan refused to bow down and submit. Fighting his instincts, he forced his head back, veins bulging on his neck as if a thousand pounds weighed on his head. He gritted his teeth and managed to utter, "No matter what kind of monster it is, it won't make me submit!"

"Everyone, quickly return to the teleportation array!"

Fahong glanced at the unconscious monks and made a painful decision. The people standing there were all top experts in the Barbarian Continent. If anything happened to them, the martial arts world of the Barbarian Continent would be doomed. He had no choice but to make a decision.

"It's too late, they're too fast!" Dai Wen shouted.

"Let as many as possible leave, and let the alliance leader go first," Shen Wumian said.

Si Ming was the least affected. While circulating his internal energy to recover, he said, "Running away is useless. The force we have here is the strongest that Barbarian Continent can muster. If we can't even handle them, running back will only lead to our demise."

He estimated that he still had 80% of his vital Primal Qi remaining. Fortunately, he had only recently been chained, and he had also taken two bottles of the Ten-Complete Great Supplement Pill earlier, which was enough to fight a powerful enemy.
