The profound force, vitality, battle soul, and everything else that had dissipated within the slain Guo Jianqing had already been absorbed by the Devouring Battle Soul.
Furthermore, Zhao Cheng had been swallowed whole right then and there. These two peak fourth-layer Martial Emperor realm martial artists had provided Su Mo with ample resources.
The last time, his assault on the realm had not succeeded. Part of the reason was that he had broken through to the first layer of the Martial Emperor realm not long ago, so his foundation and accumulation were not yet solid enough.
Another reason was that his resources were far too scarce, which was why he had failed.
Now that two peak fourth-layer Martial Emperor realm martial artists had become Su Mo's resources, he naturally had to try breaking through to the second layer of the Martial Emperor realm once again.
Rumble!!
Within Su Mo's body, profound force surged like a roaring river, while massive amounts of profound force from within the battle soul poured continuously into his body.
Because the profound force was far too mighty, Su Mo's physical body nearly failed to withstand it, and the meridians all over his body throbbed with a slight, swelling pain.
This was because the strength of his physical body was far too weak!
He had not cultivated his physical body for a very long time. This was primarily because his resources were insufficient, and secondly because the power of the physical body provided a very minimal amplification to his combat strength.
His cultivation strength was far too formidable; unless his physical strength far surpassed his cultivation realm, it simply would not make any significant difference to his overall power.
Therefore, for such a long time, Su Mo had ceased cultivating his physical body altogether.
For the time
