Huff!

But Jian Wushuang didn’t have much time now; he had to move faster.

So he could only move forward, getting closer to the spring.

Jian Wushuang, opening his eyes, stared at the spring for a while.

He found that there was no spring water in the spring, although it was covered by a thin mist. Still, he could see that it was a hollow abyss.

Staring at it for too long would make him dizzy.

Jian Wushuang dared not look too much, so he could only send a message to Wu Zuo to ask if the other party knew anything about it.

Unexpectedly, even Wu Zuo didn’t know.

This made Jian Wushuang a little curious.

But for now, he couldn’t get closer, so he could only continue devouring.

Splash!

As he approached within three feet, Jian Wushuang fully absorbed the divine power, and his divine body began to multiply.

When he was a Dao Lord, he could reach 50,000-fold.

After becoming an Emperor, with the help of the Beast God Weapon, he could burst out to 100,000-fold, and that wasn’t the limit.

At the limit, he could burst out with a divine body of 120,000-fold.

In other words, both his physical body and divine body could withstand it. In this way, the limit of his basic divine body could also be raised to that level.

It’s just that the treasures needed to reach that level are too many.

Even Zhen Ling would feel distressed.

The treasures needed by a powerhouse of the Tribulation Realm in the divine body lineage could support several Origin Source Tribulation Realm powerhouses.

Moreover, he was about to leave the Qishen Temple soon, so he could only search for treasures to enhance his divine body in other spacetimes in the future. However, at that time, it wouldn’t be as easy as in the Qishen Temple.

So he had to desperately improve. Whatever he could improve, he would improve, anyway, it was free.

“The power of the Beast God!” Jian Wushuang shouted angrily in his heart, and a dark red aura burst out of him.

Instantly, everyone present was shaken by it.

The others were fine because they knew he had the Beast God Weapon.

Fan Feng, however, looked at Jian Wushuang with surprise. She didn’t expect Jian Wushuang to have the Candle Dragon.

But the next moment, her aura changed abruptly too.

A familiar aura came rushing over.

It was the Phoenix, one of the nine Beast God Weapons!

It was also a Beast God forged by nature.

But Jian Wushuang wasn’t surprised; the other party had a Beast God Weapon.

In ancient times, Jian Wushuang was well aware of the news regarding the Beast God’s weapons.

Initially, to gather all the Candle Dragon parts, he had to extensively peruse ancient texts.

However, the Beast God Weapon of the Phoenix wasn’t merely an amplifying divine weapon of the Beast God but rather a fusion of the weapon with the physical body.

The opponent’s divine body’s immense strength during the Emperor’s time probably had some connection to that Beast God weapon.

Otherwise, for the Emperor to reach a 90,000-fold divine body wouldn’t be so simple.

After Jian Wushuang unleashed the power of the Beast God, the speed of his absorption accelerated even further.

300 years had passed, one-third of the time gone by, and Jian Wushuang’s divine body finally reached 70,000-fold.

Simultaneously, he had approached within just one battle’s distance, becoming the closest among everyone present.

Though he progressed relatively swiftly, the enhancement of his divine body wasn’t the fastest.

It was Gu Qianluo, whose divine body was a set of dry bones, starting from 65,000-fold and, within 100 years, directly surged to 80,000-fold, which astonished everyone.

Jian Wushuang and Fan Feng had the Beast God Weapon, which could enhance rapidly, so that could be excused, but for someone who lacked in every aspect to become the first was truly surprising.

Regarding this, Jian Wushuang wanted to shatter the opponent’s divine body to thoroughly understand it.

Of course, it was just a fleeting thought.

“At last, I see it clearly!” The reason why Jian Wushuang’s advancement was slow also had another cause. He was curious about what treasures this cave held that could erupt with such a tremendous amount of divine power.

So, mainly to adapt to absorbing divine power and to continue forward, he didn’t concentrate solely on absorbing divine power.

Now, as he approached the cave, he glanced downward.

With just one glance, Jian Wushuang felt a violent force that instantly assaulted his eyes.

The pain made him lose his rationality in an instant, causing him to retreat 100 feet backwards.

This scene frightened everyone.

Wu Zuo and Hui Qing hastily ceased their cultivation and rushed over.

“Wushuang, what’s going on?” Hu Qing stepped forward, astonished. “Is there some kind of creature in there?”

Jian Wushuang felt a deep ache in his head, his eyes stinging so much he couldn’t even open them. He shook his head, unable to speak a word.

Wu Zuo placed a hand on Jian Wushuang’s shoulder, saying, “It should be backlash. Rest for a moment, you’ll be fine!”

“Haha!!!” Fan Feng sneered, disdain evident in her voice. “What fools! Just like my silly little sister, not knowing there are forbidden things inside that shouldn’t be seen?”

Upon hearing the mockery, Wu Zuo’s expression turned cold, but he dared not retort.

Hu Qing, however, was fearless. Standing up straight, she glared at Fan Feng and said angrily, “If you didn’t want to warn us, fine, but there’s no need for such sarcasm!”

“Humph, a bunch of idiots. I really don’t understand why bother raising you natives, what’s the use!” Fan Feng taunted a few more times before closing her eyes.

Jian Wushuang waved his hand, not feeling particularly foolish about the situation.

When there’s something to be understood, it’s necessary to investigate.

That’s the path of the strong!

If one is always timid and fearful, how can they become strong?

So there’s no need to pay attention to the other party.

Seeing that Jian Wushuang was fine, Hu Qing and Wu Zuo returned to their positions to continue their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang stayed a hundred feet away, beginning to heal the injuries caused by the backlash.

He possessed the power of Life, so even with a powerful backlash, he recovered in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

During his recovery, he suddenly noticed a change in his eyes.

They could penetrate with a divine power.

His eyes actually contained a power surpassing that of 100,000-fold divine bodies.

“This can’t be possible,” Jian Wushuang couldn’t believe it himself.

He only glanced at the cave, then was struck by a backlash.

But after the recovery, it brought him a divine body exceeding 100,000-fold.

Although only his divine eyes reached 100,000-fold, the benefits were continuously distributed.

In just one day, he increased his divine body by 1,000 times.

“I understand!” Joy spread across Jian Wushuang’s face as he took a step forward, approaching the cave directly.

This scene puzzled Fan Feng somewhat, not because Jian Wushuang approached the cave again, but because she noticed the disappearance of Jian Wushuang’s backlash.

To dissipate the backlash in just one day was too quick, even with a restorative treasure, which would normally take at least 100 years.

Initially, she thought Jian Wushuang would waste this opportunity in vain, but she didn’t expect him to recover and return to the edge of the spring again.

Wu Zuo and the others exchanged smiles, unsurprised by this.

But when they saw Jian Wushuang once again peering into the cave with his head tilted, their jaws dropped.

The result was foreseeable: Jian Wushuang was once again shaken back, but this time, he saw a blurry mass, unlike last time when he saw nothing.
