Chapter 305: Chapter 301: Crazy Evolution (3)
Translator: 549690339
Tang Luo struggled to control the Star Core, retracting the spiritual power from the formation to halt his body’s evolution. He knew that without adequate nutrition, evolution would stop. Forced evolution would result in the depletion of vital energy and spiritual power, and kidney essence would be drained. Fortunately, he had activated the ten veins in his lower back, or else his kidney essence would already be drained in that short period of time.
The silver-gray light receded from his body, and Tang Luo, who was as strong as a deity, lay on the ground. The cramping sensation gradually disappeared, leaving only some muscle soreness lingering in his body.
With a gentle push, he moved himself to a cultivator’s garden, flattening countless stalks of spiritual medicinal herbs in the process. He stretched out his strong, long arms and sat in the garden, stuffing the plucked spiritual herbs into his mouth.
After consuming another 200 stalks of precious herbs, Tang Luo felt his hunger subsiding. His muscles began to fill out again. He stood up and harvested another thousand stalks of spiritual medicinal herbs, planning to finish the evolution of his Undying Body of the seventh grade in one go, and reach the realm of ‘body as impenetrable as steel’!
But given this highly concentrated regimen of muscle and tendon reinforcing, he realized that it would be impossible to evolve and eat at the same time, so Tang Luo decided to eat ahead.
He grabbed dozens of herbs and hastily stuffed them into his mouth. He ate the spiritual herbs without concern, feeding his hunger.
As the feeling of fullness grew stronger, the spiritual power generated by the spiritual medicinal herbs was about to overflow from his mouth and nostrils. Tang Luo knew it was time to operate the Undying Battle Body again. He consciously lay on his back and put his spiritual power into the formation. The three fully integrated formations in his body started the journey of intensely strengthening his body once again.
The soreness that had just subsided, surged back. It was as if every tendon in his body was soaked in vinegar and then ruthlessly pulled straight, creating an incredibly sour sensation.
Under such intense stimulation, Tang Luo’s facial features distorted involuntarily, creating a terrifying sight.
After quite a while, the cramping feeling finally faded, and Tang Luo’s body underwent another transformation.
Every muscle in his body was entwined with thick veins like snakes. Whenever Tang Luo exerted strength, you could see fresh blood bubbling inside, as if countless little snakes were coiling around every inch of his muscles. It was a terrifying sight.
“Well, it seems I’m moving further and further away from being a normal human,” Tang Luo thought to himself. At this point, his seventh grade Undying Body had consumed nearly six thousand spiritual herbs, and his body had turned into this inhuman and devilish being. He could not even fathom what was waiting for him ahead.
Now, when he operated the Undying Battle Body, the silvery-grey appearance and multitude of pulsing veins would make it hard for anyone to believe he was a good person.
Since things have come to this, let’s see what kind of state I end up in!” Tang Luo looked at his miserable appearance and decided to let things happen as they may.
Like a gust of wind, he swept through the garden, harvesting the spiritual herbs in heaps. From his previous experience, he reckoned he would need tens of thousands of herbs. At the same time, he realized a fact.
While his body was capable of maximizing the power of body forging techniques, it also led to the highest consumption. Compared to others of the same grade, his consumption was easily ten times more to achieve the ultimate effect.
Though ordinary people may not be able to reach the same limit quickly, they can gradually improve. Especially after completing the top five-grade divine patterns, the power of the Five Elements keeps regenerating, lowering the consumption to a level acceptable for ordinary martial artists.
“Only blame myself for being too good!” Tang Luo grabbed a handful of divine herbs and accurately tossed it on top of the small mountain of herbs he had amassed.
Each small mountain-like pile of herbs was ten thousand stalks, and he built five such mounds, amounting to fifty thousand stalks of spiritual herbs.
A corner of the once lush garden had been completely stripped bare by him, leaving a stark contrast. Tang Luo, however, was quite satisfied with it.
Because the next spiritual formation carved the top ten patterns on his upper chest, enhancing his heart and small intestine. It corresponded to the Heart Fire Formation.
Undisturbed, Tang Luo completed the fourth spiritual formation. His chest then shone with ten silver divine markings. The sensation of hunger struck again, but he, being well-versed, didn’t hesitate. He grabbed about ten medicinal herbs and stuffed them into his mouth.
After the taste enhancement from the upper chest patterns, the previously haphazardly swallowed medicinal herbs seemed to have a special taste. Even if more than a dozen flavors were hidden together, he could clearly distinguish each one.
Although he couldn’t figure out how this taste enhancement would benefit his martial arts journey, he thought cheerfully that with this tongue, there should be no problem in him becoming a gourmet.
The most significant feature of the Rank Six Undying Battle Body was the protective silver glow, which can repel any spiritual power attack. With this silver glow for protection, the Undying Battle Body could truly be regarded as one of the top defensive methods in the world.
As Tang Luo kept consuming the divine medicinal herbs, he found his protective silver glow becoming brighter, eventually forming a silver armor!
The silver glow on his arms turned into arm guards, chest into chest armor, abdomen into cuirass, and back into a belt! His upper body, covered in this ‘ silver armor, looked extraordinarily heroic. Only his robust and smooth legs were uncovered, which made him look a bit weird.
This solid-looking silver armor made Tang Luo realize that his Rank Six Undying Body had also changed. Originally, the protective silver glow could only defend against spiritual power attacks. As for the physical part, he still needed to rely on his physical body.
But after two clangs of arm guard collision, Tang Luo was sure that this silver-glow-transformed armor could not only protect against very strong spiritual power attacks but its defense ability was also not inferior to the Rank Eight Steel Body formation.
If Tang Luo could cultivate the Undying Battle Body to the First Rank, this armor would cover his entire body by then. At that time, a real monster would emerge. Get injured? Impossible!
But before his pride could deflate, he found that his meridians had exploded….
All of a sudden, all his body meridians actually exploded! Tang Luo screamed and collapsed to the ground. He, wearing silver armor, fell heavily to the ground like a top-heavy doll.
The ten divine patterns on his chest had an effect of strengthening his meridians. After forging, this allowed his meridians to withstand the extremely violent spiritual power. However, the way it strengthened was by exploding and enlarging every inch of his meridians. Tang Luo would graciously like to decline.
Anyway, he just planned to be a normal monster in the future. What did he need attribute spiritual power for? Simply a waste!
But no matter how he refused in his mind, this strengthening process wouldn’t stop once it had started.
“Bang, bang, bang! ” Tang Luo could only feel his entire body’s meridians playing a symphony with internal explosion sounds, making his scalp go numb.
What’s more frustrating, this internal explosion had no means of resistance. It was as if someone ignited a million tiny firecrackers inside his body. It was truly unbearable.
All his muscles were trembling, one after another. Tang Luo’s facial features once again twisted together.
The saddest part was because the internal explosion happened so quickly and fiercely, he didn’t even have time to react. He was dumbfoundedly exploding in sequence.
The most painful thing was that because he was too enraptured and didn’t finish eating the divine medicinal herbs, this violent strengthening process couldn’t be completed at once. The realization that there would be several more internal explosions to experience made his excitement due to the silver glow becoming armor vanish. Now, Tang Luo was in so much pain that he didn’t even wish to live anymore..
