From Douluo to Defying Heaven and Becoming a God Chapter 44

He kept the Heavenly Corpse Transformation technique running incessantly, absorbing the energy brought by the spirit ring and causing the spirit power within his body to grow rapidly.

Two more hours passed, and he reached his limit once again; the increasingly massive energy made him feel as though he would burst at any moment.

"Roar! Spirit manifestation!"

His Zombie spirit appeared and quickly merged with his body. Under the augmentation of the spirit state, his physical fitness increased once more, and the pain within his body subsided slightly.

Tang Hao had been standing blankly at his own doorway for three hours. He could sense that increasingly massive energy; as early as an hour ago, the energy fluctuations had already far exceeded the limit that a level ten spirit master could absorb.

Yet, another hour had passed, and Jiang Chen's absorption had still not ended. To a level ten spirit master, those energy fluctuations had reached a lethal level.

A normal level ten spirit master would likely explode and die within three seconds under the impact of such energy.

At this moment, a yellow energy ring had formed outside Jiang Chen's body, and as time passed, the color of this energy ring grew deeper and deeper.

After the spirit possession, Jiang Chen's constitution had improved, but the closer he got to the end, the more terrifying the surging energy within his body became. In less than an hour, he had reached his limit for the third time.

He felt as if his entire body were being torn apart, that intense pain piercing deep into his soul.

Opening his eyes a sliver, he discovered that the yellow ring outside his body had changed; the deep yellow was beginning to transform into purple.

Has it reached a thousand years? Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy.

A thousand-year spirit ring far exceeded the theories researched by that Yu Xiaogang; he had not expected that he would actually be able to reach this point.

"No, this spirit ring hasn't completely turned purple yet. I can still hold on!"

Jiang Chen closed his eyes again, his whole body spasming from the pain. Filthy impurities mixed with a large amount of sweat, greasy and foul-smelling, filled the entire room.

Blood had begun to seep from his skin, and the veins all over his body bulged, nearly on the verge of bursting.

Jiang Chen's consciousness was already muddled; he did not know how long he had held on. Finally, the surging energy gradually weakened and miraculously vanished.

In his hazy state of consciousness, Jiang Chen, having been tortured for over four hours, could no longer hold on. As his nerves relaxed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Tang Hao, who had been standing there, finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had actually waited for over four hours; it would be dawn in another two or three hours.

Lying back down on his bed, Tang Hao could not fall asleep for a long time.

His formidable spiritual power sensed that Jiang Chen had not failed in absorbing the spirit ring; that terrifying spirit ring had actually been absorbed successfully.

He did not know how many years Jiang Chen's spirit ring had reached, but he imagined it must be truly astonishing.

If Jiang Chen did not die, he would surely become famous throughout the Douluo Continent in the future!

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!" Old Jack knocked on Jiang Chen's door in confusion.

The sun was already high in the sky. According to Jiang Chen's usual habits, he should have been up long ago, but the door had yet to open.

After knocking several times with no response, Old Jack pushed the door open with force and immediately saw Jiang Chen covered in blood and filth.

A foul odor rushed out, smelling several times worse than a latrine.

Old Jack furrowed his brows tightly and rushed over anxiously.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, what happened to you?"
