The Honkai Beasts were gone.
Feng Chen's purpose in turning them into Honkai Energy and absorbing it all just now wasn't to use [Defense Destruction]. [Defense Destruction] combined with Jizou Mitama's First Activation Rate still wasn't enough to consume this much Honkai Energy.
The Honkai Energy from nearly ten thousand Honkai Beasts combined had already surpassed that of an ordinary Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
Only one that was an Emperor-class Honkai Beast when it was killed could evolve perfectly and become comparable.
