Facing Hua Zhengtian's all-out attack, even Li Su found his movements somewhat affected.
The heavens and earth around them showed signs of collapsing, absorbed by his Lesser Five Elements Wheel and becoming Hua Zhengtian's support.
Watching the terrifying power his opponent had gathered, Li Su's eyes flickered slightly.
He was undoubtedly somewhat surprised.
But even more than that, they shone with repeated flashes of wonder.
One had to know that their battle had already lasted nearly five minutes. Yet all Li Su had used was the power of his Heaven-and-Earth Dao Body. Though that included the fused eruption of all his physical strength, it was clearly not his limit.
From beginning to end, he had never used or unleashed his Earthly Baleful True Force.
Indeed, without a top-tier spell technique, simply unleashing Earthly Baleful True Force—though immensely powerful—still fell short of Hua Zhengtian's Five Elements mutual generation and restraint method.
But that did not mean it was useless.
At the very least, Li Su could use Earthly Baleful True Force to amplify his Heaven-and-Earth Dao Body and enhance its might.
All those artifacts he had swallowed had not been eaten for nothing.
Though most of them had been absorbed by him as energy, one must not forget that whether he ate earth or metal, Li Su's flesh had in fact acquired their corresponding properties.
In other words, after swallowing so many artifacts, although his body was still flesh and blood, it had in fact taken on the properties of an artifact.
And what was an artifact?
Simply put, it was something that used mana as energy to unleash its abilities.
Applied to Li Su, that meant using mana to unleash the abilities of his physical body. In other words, it could further enhance the power of his Heaven-and-Earth Dao Body.
