Capítulo 1870: Chapter 1871 Absorbing the Spiritual Body

Spiritual Life Forms are quite mysterious; their existence is remarkably similar to detached God’s Souls.

However, when God’s Souls detach, even if there are special methods to maintain their presence, their power gradually diminishes over time.

Indeed, powerful cultivators can control this depletion quite effectively, but before they can reshape their physical bodies, this fact remains unchangeable.

Spiritual Life Forms are different; they are born without a physical body, yet they can absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy, continuously enhancing their power.

Without a Spiritual Platform to nurture their awareness, most Divine Spirits are often not fully conscious. Even if their power reaches its peak, they can only understand their surroundings using the simplest linear thinking, incapable of processing complex logical events.

For them, the simplest and most direct action is to purge all foes in their sight.

Boom!

An intensely red flame came flying, attacking before Su Chengyu and the others could land.

Unable to maneuver freely in the air, Su Chengyu dodged most of the flame to avoid a worse situation, brushing past it and swiftly heading toward the ground, following the trajectory of the flame.

“Master! Are you insane? Why are you charging at those creatures?”

Hu Xiao spoke with panic, clearly baffled by Su Chengyu’s actions, considering that the ground below was teeming with Spiritual Life Forms.

Numbering in thousands, tens of thousands, it would not be an exaggeration to say even in the billions!

Yet, Su Chengyu ignored Hu Xiao’s warning completely, responding coldly, “Spiritual Life Forms are present everywhere, not just on the ground. In the air, we’re even worse off defending against enemies. The only solution is to break through head-on.”

“But…”

Hu Xiao tried to speak, but Su Chengyu had already wielded the Wasteland Battle Halberd upon landing, sweeping the Wasteland to carve out an area to stand before vigilantly observing the surroundings.

“Fear comes with consciousness; recognition comes with evaluation. Since this is their domain, you cannot escape.”

Boom!

As Su Chengyu spoke, the horizontal stance of the Wasteland Battle Halberd blocked the first assault from these Spiritual Life Forms.

The power of the attacks was not particularly fierce—only at the Nascent Soul Realm level. If there were merely one or two, Su Chengyu would hardly take them seriously.

Even if these spiritual entities cannot overwhelm with numbers like ants devouring an elephant, the billions of Spiritual Life Forms swarming in to delay his steps are indeed a significant bother, especially…

After the first failed attack, these spiritual entities regrouped and simultaneously launched an assault on Su Chengyu.

Flames, thunder, frost… all intertwined, rushing toward Su Chengyu.

As similar forms of power crossed paths, they merged, strengthening the attack itself.

“Indeed. Hu Xiao!”

Su Chengyu spoke out, Hu Xiao understanding immediately that this mess was entirely his to handle.

Despite his distress, at this critical moment amidst their intertwined fate, besides trusting Su Chengyu or helping to buy time, Hu Xiao had no other choice?

Roar!

Accompanied by a howl, Hu Xiao reverted to his original form, forming a barrier with his remaining demonic power, completely enveloping them.

Su Chengyu’s peripheral sight captured this moment, allowing him to temporarily set aside defense, focusing entirely on addressing these Spiritual Life Forms.

Although Su Chengyu didn’t have in-depth knowledge of Life Spirit Bodies, those transparent Life Spirit Bodies originating here, he clearly sensed their composition held the most pristine Heavenly Dao Breath.

For this reason, Su Chengyu always suspected their power might combine similarly to the Heavenly Dao Breath within him.

Unluckily, Su Chengyu guessed correctly once more.

Fortunately, these Life Spirit Bodies apparently lack high intelligence.

These Heavenly Dao Breaths merged entirely by chance.

After these powers were utilized, they naturally eluded these creatures’ control.

Using this as a breakthrough point, Su Chengyu intended to pave his way with the Heavenly Dao Breath within himself, determined to forcibly assimilate these Spiritual Life Forms.

His phantom-like form suddenly vanished within Hu Xiao’s barrier.

Such was his speed that even the vigilant Hu Xiao failed to react.

Dashing out, Su Chengyu’s hand ignited with azure flames, instantly capturing a nearby Life Spirit Body, commencing refinement immediately!

Sizzle!

The flames consumed the Life Spirit Body; as the Green Lotus Godfire burned the physical body of the Life Spirit Body, its pure Heavenly Dao Breath flowed backward into Su Chengyu’s body.

This influx of Heavenly Dao Breath into Su Chengyu’s body, continuously surging back, fully integrated into Su Chengyu’s Dantian Sea of Consciousness, eventually bursting into one of Su Chengyu’s Mana components, fully claimed by Su Chengyu.

“It indeed works.”

Su Chengyu’s face lit with joy, instantly setting his sights on another gray Life Spirit Body.

This time he used the unstable Breath of Destruction as a medium, again attempting to absorb this Life Spirit Body into himself.

Thump!

However, this time a mouthful of blood was spat out; lacking Hu Xiao’s cover time, this hurried attempt did not thoroughly refine the Life Spirit Body, instead causing tremendous backlash to Su Chengyu.

This abnormality and pause instantly attracted the attention of all nearby Life Spirit Bodies.

Without any communication or coordination, they executed their combat instincts, rushing at Su Chengyu simultaneously, attempting to swallow him.

At this critical juncture, a massive tiger paw swooped in from behind Su Chengyu, sweeping away a group of Life Spirit Bodies closest to Su Chengyu.

Hu Xiao, now in his Demon Clan true form, used his three-meter tall massive body to shield Su Chengyu securely beneath him.

“Master…”

“It’s fine, just a small mishap, insignificant compared to what I’ve gained.”

With Hu Xiao’s cover, Su Chengyu managed to catch his breath, swiftly suppressing the rampaging Heavenly Dao Breath within himself. Raising his hand, a transparent Spiritual Body appeared instantly.

Hu Xiao, witnessing this, widened his eyes in astonishment, “Master, have you fully absorbed that creature?”

“Indeed, not only did it replenish the depleted Mana, but my Realm increased slightly too.”

Hu Xiao was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, gazed around at the endless Life Spirit Bodies in shock.

“If Master were to absorb all these Life Spirit Bodies, wouldn’t he truly become invincible?”

He was unaware of how much power Su Chengyu had gained, but forget absorbing all—just the visible Life Spirit Bodies gathered were already enough to rival a Demon God!
