80: Another "soft rice" is in hand! The system prompts frantically

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The more that powerful force was absorbed, the less it became.

Meanwhile, a highly mysterious rhythm resonated within Shen Mo's body.

As this rhythm emanated, his entire body, the illusory figure behind him, and the opening heaven giant axe all trembled slightly.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The sound of that rhythm grew increasingly powerful.

And as Shen Mo's entire body fluctuations increasingly aligned with the breathing of the illusory figure and the opening heaven giant axe, a trace of the illusory figure's aura suddenly solidified.

“Buzz!”

A single strand of hair from the illusory figure seemed to descend from the heavens at that moment, manifesting as a real, solid shadow behind Shen Mo, while the rest of its body parts remained ethereal, existing between nothingness and reality.

And as that trace of the illusory figure's aura revealed itself, the opening heaven giant axe also trembled slightly.

The auras emanating from it were actually solidifying as well.

It was using the power of this ultimate aura to refine and cleanse itself, becoming even more powerful, solid, and domineering than when Shen Mo had first manifested it.

That extremely powerful and fierce force seemed to pierce through the heavens, causing the entire Great Dao to hum.

However, that was only for an instant; the force quickly faded away.

And the light on the opening heaven giant axe also rapidly dissipated after a momentary flash.

“Buzz…”

As the power within the little grass was rapidly depleted, the auras of the opening heaven giant axe and the illusory figure also slowly faded away.

They continued to hide within Shen Mo's body.

“Huh, it’s gone?”

Shen Mo scratched his head.

He opened his eyes, looked up, then down, confirming that the terrifying power of Ice Snow Princess was no longer in his body.

How strange, where did it go?

Shen Mo had been closing his eyes the entire time, busy digesting that pure, refined power.

But it was strange…

He clearly digested it, but why did it feel like… his strength hadn't improved much?

Shen Mo looked with a conflicted expression at his strength, which had suddenly surged a large amount but stubbornly refused to break through to the Yellow Extremity Realm Ninth Layer.

Forget it, maybe Ice Snow Princess's power wasn't as potent after being destroyed by the Undying Dragon Emperor Armor?

However, this little grass was truly deadly!

This was a ticking time bomb!

He wouldn’t even know if it blew him up one day!

However, Shen Mo vaguely guessed in his heart how Luo Fan had gained Ice Snow Princess's attention in the book before.

He must have used this little grass to absorb Ice Snow Princess's strength, accidentally treating Ice Snow Princess as a human-shaped spiritual energy extractor?

Good heavens, he hadn't even thought of that, Luo Fan really dared to think big!

He had even thought Luo Fan had become Ice Snow Princess's tool before!

It turned out the other party was doing the opposite!

Awesome, awesome!

He was forced to live off women, but Luo Fan was actively living off women!

Although their 'living off women' wasn't the same type, they were still kindred spirits, weren't they?

However, since this “soft rice” was in his hands, Shen Mo would not give it back to Luo Fan.

Neither would Ice Snow Princess.

Speaking of which, Ice Snow Princess, this human-shaped spiritual energy extractor, was quite interesting.

Since he could absorb her strength to improve himself, why not?

He was doing this to “save a life, which is better than building a seven-story pagoda”!

If he didn't absorb the power, Ice Snow Princess would die!

This was a benevolent act!

Shen Mo felt a burst of delight in his heart.

Tsk, another piece of soft rice in hand.

Wait a minute…

Had he awakened some strange attribute?

Why were most of his benefits related to “soft rice”?

Is it cursed?!

He, a dignified man…

Forget it, it smells so good!

Never mind, if it can improve his strength, who cares about this!

Didn't Luo Fan also live off women?!

And he even had people feed it to his mouth!

Wasn't that Medical Saint Inheritance soft rice?!

Isn't the protagonist's halo soft rice?!

That was the soft rice of the Heavenly Dao, much more advanced than his!

As Shen Mo thought this, all feelings of self-reproach vanished!

It's for a living!

No shame!

As Shen Mo thought this, he put the little grass back into his embrace.

However, the moment his hand touched the little grass, it instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered his heart.

Shen Mo: “…”

“What the heck?!”

What kind of ghost thing are you?!

Come out quickly!

Shen Mo frantically touched his heart; thankfully, it was warm, not cold!

My goodness, if this thing started acting up, wouldn't it be deadly?

Then he thought about it again, forget it, it was almost the same; when it acted up before, it was almost deadly too.

It seemed to not matter where it was anymore.

Being in his heart would even save him pain.

But then again…

Shen Mo clearly felt that after it entered his heart, it seemed to settle down.

What's going on?

What the heck?!

Shen Mo became even more bewildered.

However, in his heart, in a place he couldn't see, the little grass quietly resided.

And above its head, the previous illusory figure floated.

And an opening heaven giant axe lay horizontally behind its grassy surface, ready to completely cut it down should it make any slight movement!

Because of this, the little grass was also well-behaved, staying still in Shen Mo's heart.

And Shen Mo also discovered his copper skin and iron bones, oh, no, it was golden bones and jade flesh.

Holy cow…

So terrifying…

As soon as Shen Mo immersed his mind into his body, he was almost blinded by his dazzling, incredibly bright and shimmering bones.

Each one was crystal clear, like an ice pop…

The kind of real ice pop!

You perverts, don't get the wrong idea.

And the flesh and blood on Shen Mo's body were like jade, solidified around his bones, with every meridian being extremely crystal clear.

There was also an aura flowing on them, like molten lava…

Oh, that was the blood.

It’s going to kill him!

Was he still human now?

Shen Mo scratched his head; he had bluffed to Ice Snow Princess earlier that his bones were exceptionally unique…

Now, they were truly unique enough…

Forget it, he would just say that the masked powerhouse had cleansed his marrow and washed his meridians!

Having a powerful identity was just so convenient!

So satisfying!

As Shen Mo thought this, suddenly…

With a “ding,” the system's voice rang in his mind again.

And this time, the sound caused Shen Mo's eyes to snap open.

“Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow!”

Three “holy cow” sounds consecutively burst from his mouth.

And at this moment, the system's voice in Shen Mo's mind also rang out frantically, like stones clashing, ding, ding, ding.

“Congratulations, Host…”

And as this sound rang out, in the imperial capital on the other side.

Feng Linghuang's figure was like one looking down from the Ninth Heaven, gazing down at the earth.

“Why do I need to explain my actions to you?!”
