On the continent's grasslands within the Cloud-Touching Vine Divine Kingdom.
Rustle... rustle... rustle...
A gentle breeze blew, swaying the grass.
Not far away, Beast-Eater King Kalu, over thirty meters tall, covered in black scales, and sporting two sharp, curved black horns, was absorbing a Blood Luo Crystal.
His face twisted, and his muscles trembled. He was clearly enduring excruciating pain.
Yet Kalu made no sound. He simply bore it in silence.
A short while later.
"The eighth one. He's successfully absorbed it." Yun He, who had been watching quietly, smiled faintly.
Kalu gasped for breath, his entire body drenched as though he had just been hauled out of the water.
He rested for quite a while.
"Two more!"
Kalu drew a light breath and turned his hand over. A beautiful, mesmerizing Blood Luo Crystal appeared in his palm. He cut open his chest again and pressed the crystal against the wound.
The further one progressed in absorbing Blood Luo Crystals, the more difficult it became, with each successive crystal increasing the difficulty tenfold.
"Urgh..."
Kalu let out a muffled grunt, but gritted his teeth and endured, doing his best not to make a sound.
Compared with the benefits he gained, what did this little bit of pain amount to?
After successfully absorbing three Blood Luo Crystals, Kalu had discovered their benefits.
His affinity with the universe origin laws had doubled!
And his explosive power had tripled!
That had sent Kalu's combat strength soaring straight to the Invincible King level.
He had truly reached Invincible King, rather than merely approaching it.
Absorbing just three had brought such immense benefits.
Then what about absorbing ten?
The agony of absorbing the ninth Blood Luo Crystal finally passed.
A short while later, everything settled down.
"Very good. Next comes the last one." Yun
