Chapter 578: Chapter 378: The Source of Disaster!_2

This figure that stood over ten meters tall began to shrink inch by inch after the battle ended, returning to a height between one meter ninety and two meters.

His body had already been somewhat split open, covered with a lot of blood. Now that he had returned to his original size, he looked even more like he had just emerged from a pool of blood, with green, red, and purple blood mixing with the grayish-black seawater around him—a truly tragic sight!

The sight silenced the legends.

They had not forgotten that this Split Fist Martial Saint had sustained serious injuries because he had taken the greatest pressure and made the greatest contribution!

Without his sacrifice, the number of injured legends would have at least doubled at this moment, and possibly even many would have been gravely injured or even perished.

But even with such serious injuries, the Split Fist Martial Saint still wore a smile on his face, not dispirited by his wounds. He was still vibrant, extremely spirited!

What a mindset and will!

Was this the reason why this Martial Saint could rival legends with the body of the Six Senses, while others were just ordinary legends?

Under the watchful eyes of many legends, Xing Jing Lei was currently assessing his body’s condition.

Unquestionably, he was injured, but when he had taken the full-force blow from the abyssal demon king, he had only experienced surging blood and qi, far from being at the point where his body was cracking open.

He was barely injured.

At the time, when Xing Jing Lei was blasted deep into the earth by the overwhelming force, he realized something was amiss. He hadn’t been injured, so how could he use the special properties of the Smelting Furnace Immortal Body to get stronger?

Therefore, Xing Jing Lei resorted to self-mutilation in secret to ’add to his plate’.

He was bathed in blood, but four parts of these injuries came from self-mutilation, five parts from the erosion and pollution of the filthy water, and only a minor part—one-tenth—existed as a ’courtesy’, attributed to the attack of the abyssal demon king.

"However, this master miscalculated a bit. The poison tactics I prepared earlier were not very suitable in this environment, and sheer self-mutilation was too inefficient; it took so long just to barely stack up the BUFFs."

He pondered over how he might develop a more efficient and covert method of self-injury.

If there was a skill that could inflict self-harm... Wait, there actually was one.

Xing Jing Lei thought of the epic skill ’Furnace Tempering’, which had to be used with great caution, as any carelessness could result in internal injuries. But was he, Xing Jing Lei, afraid of injuries? He was afraid of not getting injured.

He was not entirely satisfied with many aspects of this battle—it was a mess. How could he possibly defeat Black Blade with such a performance?

Of course, there were aspects he was pleased with, such as the ’giant mode’.

After ’Smelting Furnace Immortal Body’ advanced to the expert level, Xing Jing Lei developed a new way to utilize it—deliberately controlling the direction of the enhancement.

This skill primarily boosted defense, strength, life energy, and self-healing speed.

Under his intentional control, the energy of the undying body was fully channeled into ’strength’, resulting in his body size rapidly increasing and his strength skyrocketing exponentially.

He named this state ’Strength Stance’. Its defense and upper limit weren’t as high as the ’Defense Stance’, but it could make up for his own shortcomings in lethality to a certain extent.

After killing several Seven Stars level Mysterious Evils, the Evil Tide seemed to recede, and although thousands or tens of thousands of Mysterious Evils still attacked from time to time, no Seven Stars level Mysterious Evils appeared again.

Academics and relic experts wiped their sweat, continuing their work somewhat timidly. The detection tower, not far from the Palace site, also rushed to operate.

At this time, the legends were also greeted with a pleasing process, divvying up the spoils... ahem, dividing the treasures.

The spoils of this battle came from the surrounding hundreds of thousands of Mysterious Evils that had been strangled, as well as eight Seven Stars world-ending level Mysterious Evils. After tallying up, there were ten pieces of Legendary Level Materials harvested, since a single abyssal demon king had contributed two strands of broken divinity.

"Following the ancient rules, we will assign a contribution value to the spoils, and the participating legends will receive a contribution score based on the extent of their contributions. The person with the highest contribution will start the selection."

If the first place in the entire battle had a contribution score of 100 points, the second place had 90 points, and the third had 70 points, then after the first place person selected an item worth 40 points of contribution, their score would drop to 60 points, putting them in third place. But if the first place only chose an item worth 9 points of contribution, they would remain in first place with 91 points and thus would continue to choose.

Such was the rule that has continued to the present day from an ancient era in the Shattered Sea.

"And now, we will start to assess the contributions according to the rules—any disputes can be raised at any time."

The Lady of the Palace said.

She looked towards the blood-drenched Xing Jing Lei. Undoubtedly, the legend with the most contribution in this battle was this man. Rating his contribution number as the first would not meet any opposition; the only discussion needed was the specific amount of the number.

Whether one has 10% more than the second place or 300% more, both would be in first place.

Xing Jing Lei was about to display his tough-guy image, planning to say something like "How could a mere abyssal demon king injure this great lord?"

But before he could deliver his line, Yiluo Xi seized the momentum.

"Right, big guy Xing is really badly hurt. To locate the source of the catastrophe, he really gave it his all. Ah, with such heavy injuries, who knows how long it will take to heal, or maybe they will never fully heal."

Yiluo Xi said tearfully. She wanted to squeeze out a couple of tears, but unfortunately, her acting skills were limited. Fortunately, she had perfect control over her body, managing to contort her facial muscles to display an expression of sorrow.
