Chapter 479: 241 Enhancing Strength_2

After pondering for a moment, he came back to his senses and looked towards the Void Crystal.

Bai Xiao suddenly remembered some information he had discussed previously with Mountain King Chen Xiu. Chen Xiu had reached the Extreme Realm while absorbing the fifth unit of Void Energy, owning the "Mountain King Armor". According to what he knew, the same was almost true for the other Eastern Seven Stars; during their energy and spirit phases, they had all reached their personal Extreme Realms on the fifth unit of Void Energy.

Therefore, five units of Void Energy is the human limit.

Whether it’s "essence", "energy", or "spirit".

Additionally, Chen Xiu also mentioned that there had once been a peerless talent who attempted to possess more than two Extreme Realms. Indeed, he managed to absorb another five units of Void Energy in the next stage while already having one Extreme Realm. But, despairingly, five units of Void Energy were not enough, far from enough! That peerless talent, unconvinced, spent a massive amount of time and energy to continue absorbing Void Energy, even reaching eight units at one point. However, this realm seemed like an endless abyss.

No matter how much Void Energy was absorbed, it was impossible to reach that limit.

So in the end, the genius gave up and reluctantly chose to advance.

This phenomenon has led the younger generation of martial talents to speculate.

Perhaps, a Martial Fighter Realm can only have one Extreme Realm. To extremes must harm, a person cannot be perfect in every aspect, how can you possibly possess the strongest shield and the sharpest spear simultaneously?

This is the limit destined by fate.

Or perhaps, a Martial Fighter can actually possess more than two Extreme Realms.

However, it requires you to invest a massive amount of Void Energy, enduring an unimaginably terrifying duration. The first Extreme Realm only requires five units of Void Energy. But the second Extreme Realm may become drastically harder due to the influence of the first, perhaps escalating from five units to fifteen or even twenty?

After all, even that peerless talent never discovered the limit of Void Energy needed for the second Extreme Realm, but it’s definitely more than eight units.

By the same logic, the third Extreme Realm would likely increase drastically as well.

Thus one can imagine the difficulty, the amount of time and energy it would require, and moreover, it demands remarkable talent and aptitude.

Among the younger generation in the Eastern...

Only the Eastern Seven Stars have stepped into the realm of Extreme!

"If a Martial Fighter can really possess two or more Extreme Realms, perhaps I could try to fill this gap," Bai Xiao, sitting cross-legged on a brown rug, pondered as he gazed at a few crystals on the table.

The Void Crystals produced by Evil Ghost Court, if they could be mass-produced without any side effects, could potentially shorten the time for a Martial Fighter to reach the Extreme Realm drastically. Even those with exceptional talent, just stepping into the Martial Fighter Realm and using the Void Crystals, might attempt to breach into two or more Extreme Realms. This would bring a revolutionary change for the younger generation.

"This technology..."

"If Evil Ghost Court had it, they should have brought it out a long time ago."

"Why only recently..."

"Could it be?"

Bai Xiao suddenly remembered that battle in Huaisui City, that night, the entire city seemed to have been drawn into the deep world. Strong experts from Nanjiang Province and the Eastern Secret Martial World came, engaging in fierce battles with Evil Ghost Court.

"Perhaps Evil Ghost Court gained some benefits at that time?"

He pondered silently.

Bai Xiao refocused his attention to the front.

"Let’s absorb these four crystals first and see what level can be reached?"

His actions were swift, immediately grasping a crystal and soon, his whole body assumed the posture of cultivation, sitting cross-legged, his breath gradually smoothing.

"Breath in... Breath out..."

Bai Xiao rapidly entered battle mode, his whole body covered by a frequency membrane. His robust body also seemed to flicker on and off, like a flashing screen.

The energy within the Void Crystal was rapidly activated.

"Hiss!"

A visible thick white column of smoke emerged from the surface of the Void Crystal and was absorbed into Bai Xiao’s body. His eyes tightly closed, his body motionless, but the gloss of the frequency membrane on his body surface grew brighter.

Meanwhile, the color of that Void Crystal grew more and more dim.

No longer clear and translucent, but becoming slightly darkened.

Time passed slowly, Bai Xiao immersed in his cultivation.

Until a certain moment.

"Crack!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to discover the Void Crystal in his hand had cracked on the spot. It turned into black ashes, completely vanishing without a trace.

Bai Xiao exhaled a hot, murky breath heavily.

Then he checked his body, slightly startled internally.

"Actually increased a unit of Void Energy?"

He glanced at the other three sparkling Void Crystals on the table.

"One Void Crystal is equivalent to one unit of Void Energy!"

Bai Xiao’s eyes were bright and spirited.

He now possessed three units of Void Energy, two previously snatched from nightmarish fears, and one from the newly absorbed Void Crystal.

And on the table, there were another three units of Void Energy.

So, could Bai Xiao now gather five units of Void Energy?

"Could it be... ’Extreme Realm’?!"

His pupils flickered, using the Void Crystal again without hesitation.

Time passed, and as the night deepened, the moon hung high in the sky. The clouds cleared, and the cold moonlight shone, casting a faint white glow on every city building.

By the window on the fourth floor of a hotel.

A tall human figure sat cross-legged, silent as a statue.

Yet his entire body faintly glowed, dazzling and brilliant.

As if an overflowing energy enveloped his entire body, bringing an unstoppable power and extremely abundant origin with every breath.

"Shua!"

Bai Xiao abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing.

"The limit, indeed five units of Void Energy is the limit."

He looked down at the last Void Crystal in his hand.

Just now, Bai Xiao had absorbed three Void Crystals, plus the two units of Void Energy in his body, astonishingly reaching five units.

"But why don’t I feel the presence of the ’Extreme Realm’?"

His eyes revealed confusion, but gradually he seemed to have a guess.

"Could it be because of the nightmarish fears?"

"I need to find a creature with extremely strong physical defense, kill it, strip away its physical traits. Then, use it as a base and container, infusing Void Energy... and forge my own pinnacle of essence?"

Bai Xiao instantly thought of the Dragon Scale Knight he had been obsessing over.

He had entered the nightmarish fears multiple times, searching for the severely injured knightly creature to check its condition, but without success. This time, there indeed was a compelling reason for Bai Xiao to find it—he had set his sights on this beast-like sect leader.

Bai Xiao could feel that the Dragon Scale Knight’s physical defense was extremely strong.

Wouldn’t it be incredibly invincible if turned to his own use?

His heart stirred, almost wanting to actively enter the nightmarish fears again, leading the team and searching for the Dragon Scale Knight.

But, Bai Xiao still instantly suppressed the urge.

The buffer for the Devourer’s enhancement had ended, he could now choose to absorb the last fully-maxed biological Armor to nourish his attributes.

And this full-max Armor was the only beast-level one.

It should bring quite a few surprises to Bai Xiao.

He took a deep breath, his gaze somewhat vacant as he looked ahead.

[Skill: Black Sword LV.3 (∞/∞)]

Beast-level Armor, Black Sword, offensive type, agility.

"Devourer, absorb for me!!!"

He took another deep breath, his gaze somewhat vacant as he looked forward.

[Skill: Black Sword LV.3 (∞/∞)]

Beast-level Armor, Black Sword, offensive type, agility.

"Devourer, absorb for me!!!"
