The Old Patriarch had never fully released the power within it, and the world knew little about the Heavenly Mandate he carried.
This lotus seemed to have sealed within it an inconceivable power.
Under the lotus pressing down from above, Luo Zheng's body was rapidly sinking.
Facing the Old Patriarch's pressure, Luo Zheng remained unmoving, while the power throughout his body was also mobilized. It surged wildly through every one of his Meridians, as though seawater were flowing backward into them!
The nine Morning Stars in the World Within began rotating faster. The Strength Origin within the stars transformed into threads of power that continuously poured into Luo Zheng's Meridians.
After undergoing Artisan Saint's body tempering, Luo Zheng's physical strength had increased dramatically once again. But even with his current physical strength, he could not contain all the Strength Origin within the nine stars.
At this stage, Luo Zheng could bear at most around thirty percent. That was already the limit of his physical body. If more than thirty percent of the Strength Origin were imposed upon him, his flesh would likewise verge on collapse!
To resist the lotus slowly pressing down, Luo Zheng drew out more and more Strength Origin, while the stars spun faster and faster!
Ten percent...
Twenty percent...
As power rapidly surged into Luo Zheng's physical body, the sound of crisscrossing bones began to ring out from within him. His tempered steel-like bones had already surpassed a Supreme Divine Artifact in strength. The sound of his bones grinding against one another was like a mountain shifting—violent and fierce!
The lotus halted its descent. In the end, Luo Zheng had caught it!
"He really caught it..." Celestial Venerable Huan Miao, watching from not far away, was already utterly speechless.
"What kind of power does this boy possess?
