Devouring Soul Power, Reborn Anew

"Heh... hehehe, Mu En, thank you... for letting me experience a Limit Douluo's Soul Power before I die."

Ji Feng's voice was hoarse, but still clear.

"Hmm? What are you saying?" Mu En was puzzled. "Have you finally come around? Very good. Rest assured, you won't die. A young man shouldn't be so pessimistic."

The vortex at Ji Feng's Shanzhong Point began spinning rapidly, generating a powerful suction.

A chill suddenly blossomed in Mu En's mind, making him shudder as though he had plunged into an ice cavern in the Far North!

What's going on? Why do I sense danger?

Suddenly, the Soul Power in Bei Bei's body began peeling away, flowing along the blood on the floor into Ji Feng's body.

Mu En's Soul Power was being absorbed at the same time!

Their Soul Power had long since merged together. The instant the vortex at Ji Feng's Shanzhong Point activated, both men's Soul Power surged wildly into his meridians!!

"What are you doing?! What is going on?! My Soul Power!!"

Mu En's unease reached its peak. He tried to control his Soul Power and stop the ritual.

Unfortunately, once the Northern Darkness Divine Skill activated, its suction would not disappear unless Ji Feng stopped it himself.

The absorbed Soul Power rapidly strengthened the vortex's suction. The longer it continued, the stronger the suction became.

Ji Feng and Mu En were now locked in a tug-of-war, with Bei Bei serving as the rope.

While pulling, Ji Feng could also absorb Mu En's strength. The harder Mu En pulled, the more of his strength would be absorbed.

Ji Feng could no longer speak. He devoted his entire being to keeping the Northern Darkness Divine Skill running, unwilling to give Mu En even the slightest opening!

Golden light blazed between Ji Feng's brows, and his eyes turned gold as well.

A beam of golden light shot from between Ji Feng's brows and landed on Mu En. The Limit Douluo's aged body immediately began trembling violently. In an instant, cracks covered him, spilling the same dazzling golden light!

The golden light gathered together, forming a round pill!

The Dragon Core!

The Dragon Core appeared once more. Ji Feng vaguely heard a long sigh, then felt an incredibly condensed mass of Soul Power crash into his meridians. Agony instantly tore through his soul and body!

Ji Feng's body shuddered violently. He felt as though his entire body had been pierced through. Mu En's Soul Power was nearly solid, piercing his skin, fascia, and flesh before finally forcing its way deep into his bones!

This agony, welling up from his marrow, was beyond human endurance. Ji Feng's mouth immediately gaped open, and his eyes bulged as though they would pop out of their sockets!

His body fared even worse. Unable to maintain his cross-legged posture, he collapsed to the floor and lay soaking in the pool of blood.

Although Ji Feng had mentally prepared himself to face the pain, when it actually arrived, he was still only human!

His breathing stopped instantly. Lying in the blood, he looked like a corpse.

At that very moment, the Dragon Core merged into Ji Feng's mind. His Sea of Consciousness turned golden, and the pain slowly faded, as though someone were gently massaging him.

Ji Feng's chest began rising and falling again. His exhalations blew clusters of white, bloody foam across the pool of blood.

Mu En was utterly shocked. Ji Feng could absorb his Soul Power without exploding and dying?!

Although this ten-year-old child's body had instantly reached its limit from the pain and collapsed unconscious, Mu En could sense through his Soul Power that Ji Feng's body was remarkably strong and resilient. Its interior was also exceptionally pure, with very few impurities.

When he first absorbed Mu En's Soul Power, his meridians had suffered a tremendous impact, yet they showed no sign of collapsing. Even without the Dragon Core's golden light, he would not have died from it.

Mu En could not help feeling jealous.

He had nurtured that Dragon Core for nearly two hundred years, yet it had never shown any sign of being absorbed. The dragon power within it was immensely potent, but had never shown the slightest sign of yielding.

Why would the Dragon Core protect Ji Feng of its own accord?!

The golden light merged into Ji Feng's body, becoming a torrent that washed through his meridians. Unlike Mu En's foreign Soul Power, which was domineering and savage, this torrent was exceedingly gentle, slowly nourishing Ji Feng's meridians.

The Dragon Core's golden light reduced Ji Feng's pain dozens of times over. Although the earlier agony remained, it had lessened enormously. Compared to before, the difference was like heaven and earth.

As much of the pain faded, Ji Feng's consciousness, which had slipped away, returned.

He lay facedown on the floor, gasping for breath. The hot air he exhaled blew aside the bloody foam before him. That instant of bodily convulsion had nearly made him lose control of both his bowels and bladder. Fortunately, the golden light had protected his meridians.

After being soaked through with blood, Ji Feng's Shrek uniform was battered by Mu En's leaking Soul Power and pulverized, falling into the pool of blood on the floor.

His body was sturdy, its skin displaying a healthy, white-jade hue. Beneath that jade-white skin, threads of golden light flowed along the meridians throughout his body, spreading outward.

Mu En sensed that as the golden light spread, his Soul Power was being drawn out even faster, pouring continuously into Ji Feng's body. It began at the Shaoshang Point on his thumb, traveling through the Yuji Point, Taiyuan Point, Jingqu Point, Lieque Point, Kongzui Point, Chize Point, Xiabai Point, Tianfu Point, Yunmen Point, and Zhongfu Point, all the way to the Shanzhong Point.

The powerful Soul Power of a Limit Douluo poured into the vortex at his Shanzhong Point, then spread steadily outward from it through the meridians of his entire body.

Wherever that powerful Soul Power spread, Ji Feng's pain followed. He endured desperately, but his reactions remained violent. Mu En's suppression was still in place, however, leaving him unable to move.

Ji Feng kept telling himself, Hold on. Hold on. No matter what, I have to drag Mu En and Mu Bei Bei into the grave with me!

He now concentrated all his thoughts on keeping the chest qi vortex spinning just a little longer, so he could draw all their Soul Power into his body.

That way, Mu En would surely die!

As for his own body, that was no longer something Ji Feng could afford to consider.

With that thought in mind, Ji Feng kept stubbornly repeating it, numbing his mind.

To Mu En's astonishment, Ji Feng's mind had not weakened from the damage to his meridians. Instead, it grew increasingly strong!

Bei Bei could also sense that Ji Feng had remained conscious all along, enduring the pain of being torn apart. He could not help feeling even more ashamed.

Someone with such unshakable resolve... was it really right for Great-Great-Grandfather and me to strip him of his Martial Soul?

Mu En's heart sank to rock bottom as well. Now, he could not even control his own Soul Power, leaving him helpless against Ji Feng. His only way out was for Ji Feng's mind to collapse on its own. Then this bizarre suction would disappear, and both he and Bei Bei could survive.

The problem was that Ji Feng's spiritual power kept growing stronger, without any sign of collapse!!

After the golden light broke through Ji Feng's Conception and Governing Vessels, it gradually began to dim.

Mu En did not know what would happen when someone with zero Soul Power absorbed a Limit Douluo's strength. One thing was certain, however: if Ji Feng survived, he would reap enormous benefits. Even if he could never cultivate again, that Soul Power and his Martial Soul would be more than enough to defeat some weaker Titled Douluos.
