98: Chapter 98 I've come to save you!
The emperor sovereign essence blood entered his stomach and instantly transformed into an extremely majestic heat flow, like scalding lava, flowing through Ning Yuan's limbs and bones!
Rumble!
Under the stimulation of this power, the blood within his body surged like a rushing river, emitting a deafening roar!
Every inch of flesh, every bone, and even every cell greedily devoured this incomparably pure energy!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
A faint layer of purple-gold light began to surface on his skin. His physical body, which was already incredibly tough, was undergoing a qualitative leap under the tempering of this power!
If it were said that before this, his physical strength had just reached the threshold of the Transcendent Grade...
Then now, after absorbing this drop of emperor sovereign essence blood, his physical strength had increased by at least thirty percent!
Don't underestimate this thirty percent!
At his level, every tiny bit of improvement was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
This thirty percent increase was enough to give him an absolute crushing advantage when facing opponents of the same rank!
"Refreshing!"
Ning Yuan let out a long breath, feeling the seemingly endless power within his body, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Perhaps... I really have a hope of forging the legendary King-level Physical Body in this Thunder King Pool!"
A King-level Physical Body!
That was a terrifying physique comparable to a Martial King!
Once achieved, one would possess extremely fearsome combat power based on the physical body alone. Most importantly, a major obstacle to advancing to the Martial King Realm in the future would be cleared.
For any Transcendent Realm martial artist, this was the supreme realm they dreamed of!
"great sage essence blood! I must get it!"
Ning Yuan clenched his fists, determination settling in his heart.
That drop of great sage essence blood was the key to forging his King-level Physical Body!
No matter what, it must not fall into the hands of others!
Having made up his mind, Ning Yuan did not linger.
His figure was like lightning as he charged once more into the vast Sea of Thunder, beginning a frantic hunt!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Along the way, whether they were Mid-grade Thunder Beasts or other High-grade Thunder Beasts, as long as he encountered them, they could not escape the fate of being blown apart by a single punch!
A large amount of Thunder Liquid essence was devoured and absorbed by him, becoming nourishment for his physical evolution.
His harvest was also becoming more and more abundant.
Besides the Thunder Liquid, his luck exploded as he found two more drops of emperor sovereign essence blood. Although their quality was not as good as the first drop, it was better than nothing, and he accepted them all with a smile.
However.
Just as he was heading toward the core area in the center of the Sea of Thunder.
Suddenly!
He slapped his forehead hard, as if he had remembered something important.
"Oh no! I almost forgot the main business!"
"I still have a quest to do!"
"Challenge Yu Wangji and survive ten moves under him!"
"If he gets eliminated by someone else first, won't my quest be ruined?"
Thinking of the rich rewards that hadn't been obtained yet, Ning Yuan felt a pang of heartache.
With that brat Yu Wangji's strength, he could definitely give him a good "refreshing" experience!
If he missed this chance, there might not be another!
"No, no! I have to find that little bird-man first!"
"Little Yu, oh Little Yu, you must hold on! Don't let someone else beat me to it!"
"You must wait for me to come... beat you!"
Ning Yuan immediately turned around and began searching everywhere in the Sea of Thunder for Yu Wangji's tracks.
With that frantic look, those who didn't know better would think he was going to save his own brother.
...
Meanwhile.
In another area of the Sea of Thunder.
Two figures stood facing each other from a hundred meters across the sea's surface.
The atmosphere was tense, with swords drawn and bows bent!
One person wore golden battle armor, had a handsome face, and radiated a dazzling golden divine light; it was the peerless genius of the Golden God Clan—Jin Lin!
The other person was dressed in white, with four wings on his back and a sinister look in his eyes; it was the number one genius of the Feather Clan—Yu Wangji!
On the sea surface between the two, a blood-red light sphere emitting a rich fragrance floated quietly.
That was also a drop of emperor sovereign essence blood!
The two had discovered this essence blood almost simultaneously and arrived here at the same time.
This was what they called enemies meeting on a narrow path!
"Yu Wangji, I heard that in the last ruins, you were beaten like a dead dog, and even one of your eyes was gouged out?"
Jin Lin crossed his arms, looking at Yu Wangji with a playful and mocking expression.
"What? It's only been a few days, and your injuries are already healed?"
"I thought you'd be hiding at home crying, I didn't expect you'd dare to come out and make a fool of yourself?"
As the strongest of the younger generation of the Golden God Clan, he had always been arrogant and naturally looked down on this "defeated general."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wangji's face instantly turned so dark it seemed as if water would drip from it.
The trip to the ruins was an eternal pain in his heart!
Not only was his opportunity snatched, but he was also knocked unconscious and thrown into a small grove; it was simply a humiliating disgrace!
At this moment, having his scar ripped open by Jin Lin in public, the fire of anger in his heart was instantly ignited!
"Hmph! Jin Lin, there's no need for your sarcasm!"
"Even if I, Yu Wangji, am in a bad state, I'm still better than your trash clansman Jin Jiao!"
"At least I came out alive, but what about him? I heard they couldn't even find his corpse?"
"What? Do you want to go down and accompany him?"
These words were truly meant to cut deep!
Jin Lin's expression instantly became extremely ugly, and killing intent was revealed in his eyes.
"Courting death!"
"Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
Boom!
He wasted no more words. His golden blood surged, and he charged toward Yu Wangji like a small golden sun!
"Golden Divine Punch!"
A punch was thrown, radiating ten thousand feet of golden light!
The terrifying force of the punch stirred the Sea of Thunder, kicking up massive waves!
The power of this punch was much, much stronger than the previous Jin Jiao's!
As expected of the strongest genius of the Golden God Clan's younger generation!
"As if I'm afraid of you!"
Yu Wangji also let out a roar. Although his left pupil was destroyed and his strength was damaged, he was, after all, once the number one person in the Transcendent Academy, with a deep foundation!
"Reincarnation Immortal Eye, Open!"
Buzz!
From his intact right pupil, a brilliant ray of Reincarnation Immortal Light suddenly shot out!
This immortal light was not meant to attack the soul, but to buff his own body!
On the surface of his body, a layer of strange reincarnation runes instantly emerged!
Under the buff of these runes, his physical strength actually exploded in an instant!
Although it still couldn't compare to Jin Lin's Golden Divine Body, it was enough to give him the capital to face him head-on!
Bang!
The two collided fiercely in mid-air!
Golden divine light and the eerie light of reincarnation intertwined frantically, triggering a series of earth-shattering explosions!
The surrounding seawater was blasted hundreds of meters high, forming terrifying pillars of water!
The two figures shuttled and crossed between the water pillars, every collision accompanied by the dull sound of physical impact!
"Last time I was careless, which is why that despicable person succeeded in his sneak attack!"
While fighting fiercely with Jin Lin, Yu Wangji roared frantically in his heart.
"If it weren't for that damned 'Xing Dao Trio'! If it weren't for them stealing my True Dragon source and destroying my left pupil!"
"By now, my dual pupils would have been perfected, and I would be invincible in the world!"
"How could a mere Jin Lin possibly be my opponent?!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his hatred biting at his heart like a poisonous snake.
However, reality was cruel.
Without his awakened left pupil, his strength was greatly reduced.
In a confrontation with a top genius of the same level like Jin Lin, he gradually began to feel inadequate and fell into a disadvantage!
Jin Lin's Golden Divine Body was simply too powerful!
It was just like a piece of fine gold that couldn't be broken or flattened!
With every clash, Yu Wangji felt as if his bones were about to fall apart, in excruciating pain!
"Hahaha! Yu Wangji, is this all you've got?"
"It seems the rumors are true, you really are finished!"
Jin Lin grew more courageous as he fought, every punch heavy and powerful, forcing Yu Wangji to retreat step by step!
"This drop of emperor sovereign essence blood is mine! And I'll take your life too!"
He grinned sinisterly, preparing to launch a fatal blow!
Just as Yu Wangji's heart was filled with despair and unwillingness, preparing for a desperate struggle.
Suddenly!
A voice full of pleasant surprise and urgency came from afar.
"Little Yu! Hold on! I've come to save (beat) you!"
