"Hahahaha!!! You damn old emperor, don't be so arrogant. It's still uncertain who among us will die in the end."
The Green Ox Demon, who had been howling in agony moments before, stopped screaming and turned delirious.
He spotted Wang Ming's current predicament.
To interrupt the Green Ox Demon's rule-breaking use of external hacks, Wang Ming had directly burned half the vital essence and spirit of the one hundred thousand Xuanjia Army troops, pushing the projected might of the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains to its absolute peak.
Ordinary people who lost half their vital essence and spirit were essentially losing half their lives. Even with proper recuperation afterward, they could never fully recover from this depletion, likely losing twenty or thirty years of their lifespans.

He poured it all into Li Shimin's physical body in one fell swoop, directly elevating his cultivation to the realm of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The price for this was steep.
Not only did it strip the people of Tang of a portion of their qi luck, but it also completely devastated the physical functions of Li Shimin's mortal vessel.
He gained none of the immortality and the Mutual Death Technique-defying longevity that a true Taiyi Golden Immortal ought to possess.

Wang Ming also discovered that Lord Lao's divine pills were truly overpowered!
Without those pills to extend his life, Wang Ming would have killed the green ox several times over, yet the creature was as hard to
