Chapter 532
Power
Li Musheng's words were naturally heard by the middle-aged man. His eyes flickered slightly, but he did not show any unusual emotions on his face.
At this moment, Li Musheng looked at the entire skeleton of the white tiger beneath him, and then he made another move, using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to transform it into a void abyss that released a powerful devouring force.
The entire massive skeleton of the white tiger, as large as a mountain, was swallowed up by the void abyss in the blink of an eye.
Although Li Musheng's use of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was interrupted by the White Tiger skeleton, the entire skeleton is now sealed, and the Devouring Heaven Demon Art can now devour the remaining White Tiger power in the skeleton without any hindrance.
The middle-aged man below watched this scene quietly, without saying a word to interrupt or stop it.
He could naturally see that Li Musheng was indeed extremely interested in the remains of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger, but he also wanted to know what the other party's true purpose was in doing so.
At the same time, under the influence of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the power within the white tiger's skeleton was completely devoured in just a few breaths.
The next moment, the white tiger's skeleton fell from the void abyss.
The white tiger skeleton, which was once as flawless as white jade, has now become dull and lifeless. The silver mist that stitched up the cracks in the bones seemed to have lost the attraction of the power contained in the white tiger skeleton, and evaporated into nothingness in an instant.
At this moment, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed a white tiger phantom smaller than the palm of his hand from the void abyss.
Clearly, the remaining power within the entire white tiger skeleton ultimately only manifested as this phantom image of a white tiger.
However, Li Musheng could sense from observing the white tiger phantom in his hand that the power contained within it far surpassed that of the previous Qilin blood, Azure Dragon true energy, and Vermilion Bird bone, making them completely incomparable.
Without hesitation, Li Musheng pressed the white tiger phantom into his body.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man below suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He knew all too well that the power remaining in the white tiger's skeleton contained true destructive and killing power, the power of an ancient ferocious beast, and was even completely different from the blood of the divine beast Qilin.
It should be understood that the power of ancient ferocious beasts far surpasses that of humans. Mortals with flesh and blood simply cannot withstand their power. Even he dared not use his own body to contain the ferocious power of the white tiger.
However, Li Musheng's act of injecting the power of the ferocious white tiger from the entire skeleton into his own body, even though he had already reached the realm of Martial God, was still an extremely reckless and dangerous act.
Meanwhile, after Li Musheng pressed the white tiger phantom into his body, the white tiger phantom transformed into countless streams of destructive power, drilling into his meridians and limbs.
Like a raging torrent of ferocious beasts, they intended to utterly destroy its entire body, veins, flesh, and blood.
However, Li Musheng did not care about this. His indestructible golden body gave him the most perfect defense in the world. No matter how rampant the power of the ferocious white tiger was, it could not even damage a trace of the blood energy in his body.
The torrents of destructive power from the ferocious white tiger were transformed into gentle, nourishing streams under the crushing force of Li Musheng's invincible martial will. They slowly flowed into his dantian and meridians, and were eventually absorbed by him using the Divine Beast Power Devouring Technique.
During this period, Li Musheng could clearly feel that his already unshakeable limits of strength were slowly loosening.
Although the ultimate shackles of the martial arts peak realm were not truly shaken and broken, the feeling of a significant increase in one's own strength was something that could not be experienced when absorbing the Azure Dragon True Qi or the Vermilion Bird Bone.
"Now I am absolutely certain that the power of the legendary divine beasts and ferocious beasts is indeed a path to transcendence that will allow me to take another step forward."
Li Musheng looked down at his body. The power within the skeleton of the ferocious white tiger was immense, and combined with the power he had accumulated from absorbing the Azure Dragon's true energy and the Vermilion Bird's bones, this time he had experienced a qualitative leap. Although this improvement was still insignificant compared to his peak martial arts strength, it allowed him to clearly see a path to the future.
In other words, as long as he continues to absorb the power of divine beasts and ferocious beasts, the so-called further advancement or even transcendence is not just wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, Li Musheng's mood immediately improved.
He observed the changes in himself as he absorbed the power of the ferocious white tiger, while glancing out of the corner of his eye at the middle-aged man below, and said:
"One more question: besides leaving a skeleton here, did the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger leave anything else behind?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stared at Li Musheng, and seeing that his body had directly withstood the power of the ferocious beast White Tiger without any harm, his expression shifted uncertainly.
"Are you absorbing the power of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger?"
Instead of answering Li Musheng's question, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up, asking about a guess that had arisen in his mind.
Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the massive skeleton that had fallen into the deep canyon pit and was no longer of any use to him, and said:
“That’s right, I am indeed absorbing the power of the ferocious beast White Tiger, and I’m really lacking in this kind of thing right now. If you have any, I’ll take them all.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression shifted for the first time. He stared at Li Musheng for a long while before asking:
"If you possess the power of divine beasts like the Fire Qilin or the Black Tortoise, could you possibly absorb them as well?"
"of course can."
Li Musheng nodded slightly, then moved swiftly to stand before the middle-aged man, saying meaningfully:
"I've long heard of the name of the White King of Daqi. You've managed to build such a large tomb for the White Emperor and still be alive today. I must say you've certainly got some skills."
As he spoke, Li Musheng stared into the other person's eyes, narrowing them as he said:
"Since you are so capable, I can't help but suspect that you must be hiding more good things that I don't know about."
The middle-aged man exchanged a glance with Li Musheng, then slowly shook his head and said:
"If you want to use the Soul Searching Technique to examine my memories, I advise you not to waste your time. My current state is different from that of a living person, so the Soul Searching Technique has no effect on me."
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained silent. Although the middle-aged man had seen through his intentions, he did not care and quietly used the Soul Searching Technique to strike the middle-aged man in front of him.
However, he soon frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man did not put up any resistance from beginning to end, but the Soul Searching Technique yielded nothing. The situation that happened to the middle-aged man was almost exactly the same as that of the Green Mountain Pavilion Master before him.
At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke with a thoughtful expression:
"Although I don't have what you want, I do know something you'll find very interesting." (End of Chapter)
