Black, violent energy surged through Zhun Ti's Eight Extraordinary Meridians like rivers bursting their banks.
The meridians damaged when his Saintly Body had crumbled reconnected and healed at an astonishing speed, nourished by that pure Great Dao Origin.
His shriveled flesh swiftly filled out, and dense, dark Divine Runes appeared across his skin.
Hum!
The Three Flowers and Five Qi reappeared above Zhun Ti's head.
The golden halo representing his Saint Dao Fruit spun fiercely, shining ever brighter until it drove all darkness from the surrounding void.
Peak Level 5 Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Level 6 Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Peak Level 6!
With a thunderous boom, the Realm Barrier within Zhun Ti was forced open, and boundless Saintly pressure once more swept across Mount Sumeru.
Early Level 7!
Mid Level 7!
Only when his cultivation settled firmly at peak Level 7 Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal did the violent storm of energy slowly subside.
Phew—
Zhun Ti let out a long breath of stale air. It became a black-and-gold gale that sent several distant side halls flying.
He slowly rose and clenched his fists.
Feeling the surging power within him, Zhun Ti finally broke into a look of wild joy.
"It's back!"
"All of it is back!"
Zhun Ti looked down at his hands, his voice trembling with excitement.
Not only had he recovered all the cultivation he had lost, but the fruit had tempered his Saint Body until it was thirty percent stronger than before.
The methods of a Previous Era Overlord were truly unfathomable to gods and ghosts alike.
"Congratulations on returning to your peak, junior brother."
Jie Yin stood beside him and pressed his palms together, murmuring a Buddhist invocation. Yet the worry deep in his compassionate eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
