Luo Bei had turned misfortune into a blessing.
The moment King Gellan's Daoist Art struck the Demon King Lotus Platform, Luo Bei had already understood why such changes had occurred within his body.
The Eternal Life Sutra of Delusion that Luo Bei cultivated was an immensely profound and powerful technique, a method of Body Attainment of Sainthood wholly different from Inner Core Daoist Arts and external incarnation techniques.
In his usual cultivation, he continuously tempered his fleshly body with the power of true essence.
This cultivation was like his body being a piece of red-hot refined gold, while true essence was a massive hammer that struck it without pause. It not only forged the refined gold denser and sturdier, but also gradually hammered out its impurities.
The true essence within Luo Bei had now reached the state of being as fine as threads and needles. It could already reverberate into the deepest reaches of his body and temper his entire fleshly form.
Yet the intensity of such ordinary cultivation could not compare in the slightest to the violent tremors that seemed ready to scatter all the true essence and vital blood throughout his body.
With every fierce collision against the silver beam fired by the Nine Heavens Star Cannon and every brutal impact from the Freedom Jade Tablet, Luo Bei's true essence and vital blood shook incomparably violently through his entire body.
This tempering was like ordinarily forging with a hammer weighing several hundred pounds, only to suddenly replace it with one weighing a thousand pounds, or even ten thousand.
Normally, perhaps only a dozen strands of true essence could penetrate the areas being tempered. Now, at least a hundred strands of true essence and vital blood surged into them. The effects of this tempering were simply beyond anything ordinary
