Chapter 1799 - 154: Battle Power Equal to a True Immortal

Daybreak.

A thin layer of mist still permeates the wilderness.

The world is still in a state of ambiguity, yet to be fully distinct.

In the wilderness.

Jiang Ning reached deep into the chest and abdomen of the Heavenly Soldier, grabbing the Immortal Stone the size of a fist, emitting a faint white light.

The texture is warm, yet carries a hint of coolness.

Although the energy within has basically been depleted, only a trace of immortal essence remains fused with the stone body, he can feel the high-grade energy contained within, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"I wonder if I can refine and absorb this Immortal Stone for my use?" He pondered slightly, and without hesitation, put the Immortal Stone into his mouth.

Crunch—

Crack—

The extremely hard Immortal Stone made a crisp cracking sound between his teeth.

Even with energy exhausted, its texture remains extraordinary, far beyond ordinary fine iron. A typical knife handle landing on it would result in a broken blade.

But Jiang Ning’s body has long been extraordinary, far surpassing the Peak of First Grade Martial Arts, and the teeth are the hardest part of the human mouth, forcibly crushing it and then grinding it into residue.

After the residue enters his stomach, a pure and magnificent energy is absorbed.

This energy, though small in total, is extremely weak, with only faint traces left within the Immortal Stone residue, but once in his stomach, it is fully extracted, with its energy quality being extremely high.

Once extracted in the stomach, it flows like spring water through his limbs, nourishing every inch of flesh and bone, every inch of muscle and bone in a state of utmost relaxation.

"Such strong energy!" Jiang Ning’s heart trembles, immediately operating the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill without delay.

The powerful and domineering force rises from his stomach, like a dragon traversing through the body, rapidly blending with the immortal energy.

Though the energy remaining in the Immortal Stone residue is sparse, it’s extremely condensed.

Under the wrapping of Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, it turns into surging heat, refining his muscles and bones, organs, limbs, and whole body.

In just a moment, a prompt of experience value growth appears before his eyes.

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +1287]

"Such a growth exceeding a thousand points!" Jiang Ning slightly stirs up a ripple, then continues to focus and refine.

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +1355]

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +1321]

[...]

After roughly thirty minutes, the energy of the entire Immortal Stone is completely refined and absorbed.

Jiang Ning opens his eyes, his irises shining with light, his whole body surging with Qi-Blood, his flesh faintly glowing with a pale silver sheen, a transient phenomenon after the immortal energy refines the body.

His muscles and bones, after this refinement, are now filled with a sense of power.

"The Immortal Stone, truly extraordinary!" He clenches his fist, feeling the filled and abundant power within, sighing with emotion.

[Source Points +5.3]

At this moment, another prompt appears before his eyes.

"Source Points increased by 5.3..." His gaze slightly focuses and his heart is somewhat shaken.

The Immortal Stone he had just refined was a product with exhausted energy, only thin traces of immortal essence fused with the stone.

If not for his Whale Swallowing trait, the remaining energy would have been completely impossible to extract.

And in such a state, the Immortal Stone can still bring him a 5.3 increase in Source Points.

Imagine switching to a complete Immortal Stone, how vast the immortal essence it contains would be, and how much Source Points increase it could bring?

In his view, it might exceed a hundred points, or even more!

At this moment, he recalls the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier, in its prime, renowned as a Half-step Immortal, its actions powered by Immortal Stone energy.

"Immortal Stone, is truly a treasure!" Jiang Ning sighs in his heart and then looks at the panel.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Six times breaking limit 48756/70000) (Trait: Whale Swallowing (dark purple) Dan Sea (light purple) Dragon Tendon (light gold) Dragon Body (dark purple))

This Immortal Stone has accumulated more than eight thousand experience value progress. Another piece, and the breakthrough of Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill is not far!" The thought flashes, as he looks toward another Heavenly Soldier’s remains.

Then, he picks up the silver halberd and walks toward the other Heavenly Soldier’s corpse.

The next moment.

Inside his body, the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core trembles, purple and gold intertwining, dragons roaring and tigers shouting.

In an instant, a robust and overwhelming force erupts from within.

Subsequently, the power of Heart Tribulation Fire also erupts from the heart.

In merely an instant, his entire body is bathed in crimson flames, his black hair also enveloped in red blaze.

Clang—

He swings the silver halberd in his hand, mobilizing the power throughout his body.

The strength increase of Dragon Tendon also gives him stronger explosive power.

A piercing, sharp metallic collision sound arises.

Only to see a ten-centimeter-long, deep scar appear on the chest of the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier.

He focuses his gaze slightly, takes a glance, and then strikes again, wielding the silver halberd in his hand.

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

Three consecutive swings of the silver halberd, only to see a large piece of silver chest armor break off following the last swing, flying into the air.

He raises his hand to grab, a palm-sized silver armor fragment falls into his hand.

And at the chest of the Heavenly Soldier’s remains, the energy-depleted Immortal Stone is completely exposed.

He raises his hand to grasp, and the white Immortal Stone embedded in the chest of the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier flies up into his hand.

"Refining this one, and the accumulation of Source Points should be about enough." He looks at the Source Points section on the panel, muttering to himself.

[Source Points]: 82.3

The next moment.

He places the Immortal Stone in his mouth, biting into it like an apple.

Crunch—

Crack—

The extremely hard Immortal Stone makes a crisp cracking sound between his teeth.

Bite after bite, the Immortal Stone in his hand quickly enters his stomach completely.
