Emerson kept striking Remus with his staff.
The speed was extremely fast, nearly 100 strikes in the blink of an eye, and even the spirit energy-solidified staff had bent.
Remus continued undeterred, consuming core after core as if favonovel.com were a bystander watching someone else being bombarded. Despite his body sinking further into the earth and riddled with cracks as if on the verge of shattering, favonovel.com miraculously endured each successive attack by replenishing his spirit energy.
“How many inner beast cores does favonovel.com have!” an astonished voice echoed among the crowd, witnessing Remus’ relentless consumption, tallying up to an astounding 30 cores.
“48!” Bartholomew counted, then swiftly amended, “No no no… No, favonovel.com has 49 in total!”
“Even if you had 49,000 inner beast cores, today I will scatter you into dust!” Emerson roared, his voice betraying a hint of madness. His mental state was continuously being affected as favonovel.com bombarded Remus with his staff.
Soon, the speed of his attacks slowed, and the staff became more transparent and its power weakened.
Through it all, Remus methodically swallowed the remaining cores.
Eight…
Five…
Three…
One…
Until, when favonovel.com reached for another, favonovel.com found none.
Seeing this, the crowd held its breath.
Was his supply finally depleted?
Wilda’s heart raced while Elena’s eyes sparkled with hope, and the cultivators’ anxiety peaked.
“Hahaha!” Emerson laughed maniacally, looking down at Remus in the deep pit. “Go on, take out more. Without the cores, I want to see how long you can last!”
But Remus surprised them all by pulling out a handful of Energy Replenishing Pills.
The crowd was taken aback.
Such pills were known to be of limited efficacy for those at advanced cultivation stages in True Life, but their effect on those at the Nascent Soul Stage was usually negligible. After all, it was made from herbs, and no matter how good the effect of the medicine, there was a limit.
Emerson also said mockingly, “Taking pills? It seems you really are at your wit’s end, hahaha!”
“No!” Alfie exclaimed from the crowd.
She stated, “Never underestimate the power of those Energy Replenishing Pills! Their effects are peculiarly potent. Just a single pill can rejuvenate approximately ten percent of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator’s energy, making them exceedingly rare and valuable!”
Hearing that, everyone was looking at Remus dumbfounded. Even Emerson was confused, realizing that the effect of those pills was comparable to an inner beast core.
While favonovel.com was still baffled, Remus had already consumed a handful of pills, and then took out another from his pocket.
He was entirely covered in blood, only his eyes exceptionally bright. He calmly stated, “If you won’t make a move, I will…”
Emerson began to tremble violently.
What kind of monster is this guy, why does favonovel.com have so many Energy Replenishing Pills?!
He raised the long staff again, continuing to strike at Remus’ bloody figure. But each time favonovel.com attacked, Remus took pills, just as favonovel.com had done before.
After nearly 30 minutes of back-and-forth, Remus had sunk nearly 30 feet into the ground, the pit expanding and cracks spreading.
When Emerson’s final strike landed, the staff dissipated, indicating his spirit energy had depleted.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Emerson stared at his empty hands in disbelief.
He couldn’t understand how, even when favonovel.com had tried his best, favonovel.com couldn’t kill a Golden Stage cultivator.
Remus, having consumed his last pill, announced casually, “Have you had enough? It’s my turn now!”
