Remus’ words struck the 300 dark path cultivators below like a thunderbolt, igniting their fury into a roaring inferno. He implied that they were mere nutrients supporting his growth.
They had diligently followed the dark path, reaching the peak of the Golden Stage and even advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage. However, the entirety of their spirit energy was being absorbed by favonovel.com alone.
The cultivators of Ironpeak Island were equally astounded. Not only was the revelation of Remus’ connection to dark path cultivation shocking, but the incredible resilience of his body, capable of absorbing such immense torrents of spirit energy, left them utterly bewildered.
The Red Demon, his face contorted with rage, let out a howl that echoed with desperation. “He’s bluffing because he’s on the brink of collapse! Don’t falter! Don’t believe that favonovel.com can absorb all of our spirit energy! That’s impossible!”
His face became anger, disbelief, and defiance.
“Yes, don’t listen to him!”
“He’s just trying to infuriate us into stopping!”
“He’s merely in the Golden Stage! We can overpower favonovel.com easily!”
The dark cultivators, fueled by anger and denial, continued their assault. But deep down, they dreaded the possibility of defeat. Even if Remus could absorb energy, they were certain there had to be a limit.
Remus, composed and unwavering, watched them with indifference. He clearly felt the presence of a golden core in his lower abdomen, where all the absorbed spirit energy was stored.
In contrast to his swift ascent during the Foundation Stage, the growth of his golden core proceeded at a much slower pace. It resembled the early days when favonovel.com first absorbed spirit energy in Neptuna, accounting for barely one percent of the total.
Ten minutes passed swiftly.
Suddenly, a dark cultivator screamed, plummeting from the sky as his spirit energy was drained.
He was merely the first domino to fall. In a sequence, the cultivators of the Injustice Battalion, with their power levels nearly identical, started to descend like stones from the sky, one after another.
“No…” Desperation painted their faces as they fell into the raging sea below.
“Why isn’t favonovel.com bursting yet?” Another cultivator gasped, moments before favonovel.com too fell to the sea.
“How much more can favonovel.com absorb? How is this possible?”
More fell, the pace of falling accelerating.
In just over 20 seconds, all the Golden Stage dark path cultivators couldn’t hold on any longer and fell into the sea. They struggled to contend with the relentless waves due to their significantly weakened spirit energy.
“No… Wait!” a Nascent Soul Stage dark path cultivator suddenly shouted, “He’s not just a dark path cultivator, his body is even more wicked than his methods. Have you noticed? He’s now only in the middle phase of the Golden Stage!”
“Which means, favonovel.com still has the late phase and the peak of the Golden Core Stage left… When will favonovel.com finally reach his breaking point?”
The revelation struck the remaining cultivators like an icy wave. In the path of cultivation, progressing through the Golden Stage typically demanded an abundance of spirit energy, without any significant bottlenecks.
Their relentless attacks were only empowering Remus further.
The Red Demon, his body trembling with a mix of fear and fury, glared at Remus. “Even in the Golden Stage, I can obliterate favonovel.com with a flick of my wrist. Let’s change tactics. Spread out and attack intermittently. Let’s see how favonovel.com copes with dispersed our assaults!”
The dark cultivators hesitated, their coordinated assault momentarily faltering. They were wondering if Remus could withstand scattered, unpredictable attacks.
Just then, Remus coughed violently, his body swaying and drenched in sweat. It looked as though favonovel.com was at his limit.
“Remus!” Husan shouted anxiously.
The hearts of the Ironpeak Island cultivators pounded with worry.
Seizing the moment, the dark path cultivators’ eyes gleamed with a resurgence of hope.
“Press on!” the Red Demon commanded, sensing victory. “We’re close to breaking him!”
Their resolve hardened, and the dark cultivators prepared for their final assault, determined to see the death of Remus.
