Hong Ru's primordial spirit was three-colored and had previously stood three feet tall, radiant and full of vigor.
But now, Hong Ru's primordial spirit had withered to the extreme. His originally three-foot-tall primordial spirit had shrunk to less than half an inch.
Tenfold!
In less than half a quarter-hour, Hong Ru's primordial spirit had shrunk nearly tenfold.
This shrinkage of the primordial spirit was not the expenditure of primordial spirit cultivation—it was a fall in cultivation!
It meant that Hong Ru's primordial spirit cultivation had plummeted from three feet to three inches in the span of less than half a quarter-hour.
A decline of nearly tenfold.
After Dao Realm experts condensed a primordial spirit, its forging entered a long and arduous process. The level of primordial spirit cultivation was generally measured in feet and inches.
Moreover, primordial spirit cultivation differed from spiritual power cultivation. There were simply no shortcuts to take.
Although Ye Zhen possessed a Four-Colored Primordial Spirit, after cultivating bitterly for so many years, his primordial spirit was only a little over one foot five inches tall.
That was only because Ye Zhen had cultivated for several hundred years within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Temporal Space, allowing him to accumulate his current primordial spirit cultivation.
Hong Ru's three-foot-tall primordial spirit had cost him at least several hundred, perhaps even a thousand years of bitter effort.
Yet at this moment, Hong Ru's primordial spirit had suddenly fallen from three feet to less than four inches. The extent of this cultivation loss was no less than an Early Dao Realm expert directly plummeting to the early Mystic Palace Realm.
The drop was astonishing beyond measure.
Even though he had once cultivated it to three feet, Hong Ru would still need several hundred years of bitter effort to cultivate it back.
