Facing the surging [Deep Shadow Fish Tide].
At almost every instant, the True Essence within Ling Wuyuan drained away like a flood pouring through open gates.
The rate of depletion was terrifying.
An ordinary cultivator of the [Heart Domain Realm] could never have endured it. Their lamp would have run out of oil in no time.
But Ling Wuyuan was clearly no ordinary cultivator of the [Heart Domain Realm]. His ability to recover energy alone was beyond anything they could match.
Simply by drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, he could stabilize the True Essence within his body.
That kept his True Essence safely above the danger line, never allowing it to run dry.
And as the original body, various reasons and considerations held him back.
For one thing, he needed to keep his mind clear.
Unlike his avatar, the [Void Mist Sea], he could not abandon thought and just mindlessly eat, eat, eat...
But as long as he did not go overboard.
Fighting while he ate was hardly difficult for him.
Right now, by continuously devouring the [Deep Shadow Demon Fish] within the [Deep Shadow Fish Tide], Ling Wuyuan could keep his True Essence at its peak. To a certain extent, he could even strengthen himself without pause, as though those fish were some kind of tonic.
In that respect.
Unless the [Deep Shadow Fish Tide], made up of countless [Deep Shadow Demon Fish], could break through his recovery in one concerted surge, Ling Wuyuan could keep this up indefinitely without feeling strained or exhausted...
In fact, if Ling Wuyuan wanted to, he could choose an even less taxing way to fight.
After all, those [Deep Shadow Demon Fish] barely had brains.
Against opponents like these, he could effortlessly make one part of strength
