The fourth phenomenon, "Five Peaks Suppress the World," lasted for less than a second, pushing the physical bodies of all elite disciples to their absolute limits.
They couldn't take any more!
Any further strengthening would cause them to explode!
The phantom images of the five peaks trembled slightly and began to fade, preparing to dissipate.
Ninety percent of the power accumulated in the phenomenon had not been used and was about to vanish into nothingness.
There was no other way.
The elite disciples present were too weak. Their reinforced bodies could only withstand ten percent of the power from "Five Peaks Suppress the World."
Phenomena were blessings and would not forcibly inject power to the point of causing elite disciples to explode and die.
The remaining ninety percent of the power had to be wasted!
What a pity, such a great pity!
The Golden Core masters' eyeballs bulged, their expressions contorted, veins throbbing on their foreheads.
They were so envious they could cry!
They were truly going to cry from envy!
If they couldn't consume it, why not give it to us? We could handle it, we could withstand the remaining ninety percent of the phenomenon's power!
Unfortunately, the fourth phenomenon had formed a powerful barrier, isolating them and preventing them from reaching it.
Their hearts ached!
They were distressed!
They were sorrowful!
...
The Golden Core masters' hearts were being cut like knives. They could only watch helplessly as ninety percent of the phenomenon's power slowly dissipated...
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
The five mountain peak phantom images, which had already begun to dim, suddenly blazed with light. Powerful phenomenon energy poured incessantly towards a figure below.
Whale-like gulping, rainbow-like siphon!
In less than a second, that figure absorbed more than thirty percent of the phenomenon's energy!
This was madness!
The Golden Core masters' faces changed drastically.
The phenomenon's energy was vast and majestic. Absorbing too much would cause their physical bodies to be unable to withstand it and explode!
Which sect's young prodigy was this reckless?
The Golden Core masters peered closely.
They didn't expect it, but when they saw, they were shocked!
The figure absorbing the phenomenon's energy was gaunt and small, covered in fur. It was... a monkey!
Isn't that the Senior's pet, the Little Spirit Monkey King?
As the Senior's pet, the Little Spirit Monkey King was well-known; everyone recognized it!
Elder Tao Ming: "Not good, this little monkey can't withstand such powerful phenomenon energy, it's going to explode and die..."
Zhong Xuanzi: "Scram! Stop spouting nonsense here! The monkey is the Senior's pet. With the Senior here, nothing will happen to it. If you don't believe me, look... Holy crap, this monkey's condition is really not right!"
Chi Lian: "The monkey's physical body can't withstand the phenomenon energy, it's starting to disintegrate bit by bit!"
...
The Golden Core masters chattered amongst themselves.
At this moment, the Little Spirit Monkey King's condition was not good, very not good!
Its eyes were bloodshot, its expression fierce, and it was in extreme pain.
Under its golden fur, torrents of energy surged like tides, as if countless ferocious earthworms were wriggling within.
This was a sign that its physical body had reached its limit and was on the verge of collapse!
"Little Spirit, what are you doing? Stop absorbing the phenomenon energy, give up quickly!"
Yun Zhaozhao, standing nearby, noticed something was wrong and loudly tried to stop the Little Spirit Monkey King.
"Jiji jiji..."
The Little Spirit Monkey King shook its head and chirped twice.
For the first time, the Little Spirit Monkey King, who always obeyed Yun Zhaozhao, refused her.
Roar!
The Little Spirit Monkey King roared to the sky!
Its roar contained infinite pain and stubbornness!
My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's!
I'm going to break through!
The monkey was truly risking its life this time.
In this brief second, it absorbed another thirty percent of the phenomenon's energy.
Bang bang bang!
Puffs of blood mist exploded from the Little Spirit Monkey King's body.
Its skin, flesh, and tendons were collapsing comprehensively. It couldn't hold on, it truly couldn't hold on anymore!
"Little Spirit..."
Yun Zhaozhao's eyes welled up with tears, her heart aching.
"Little Spirit, what exactly are you doing?"
Yun Zhaozhao didn't understand why the Little Spirit Monkey King was courting death so frantically.
A thick hand was placed on Yun Zhaozhao's shoulder.
"Zhaozhao, don't worry!"
Yun Tianzhong's gentle voice slowly sounded.
"Little Spirit feels the call of its bloodline. This is the best opportunity for its three-stage bloodline awakening. It won't give up!"
Yun Zhong understood the reason for the Little Spirit Monkey King's desperate struggle.
His gaze fell upon Yun Zhaozhao...
The Little Spirit Monkey King had someone it would risk its life to protect!
The next second, the Little Spirit Monkey King, disregarding its collapsing physical body, absorbed the remaining thirty percent of the phenomenon's energy.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
The five peaks phantom images suddenly trembled and all entered the Little Spirit Monkey King's body.
"Ahhh..."
The Little Spirit Monkey King couldn't withstand this vast power, and it let out an extremely painful cry.
Large masses of blood mist exploded.
This time, not only skin, flesh, and tendons, but even its bones began to disintegrate.
The Little Spirit Monkey King's physical body collapsed completely.
Its legs exploded into blood mist.
Its hands turned into blood.
Its head began to shatter.
...
This process, though complex to describe, happened in a mere instant.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, the Little Spirit Monkey King's physical body had completely disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist, leaving only a lifeless heart.
Alas, the monkey was completely finished!
"Little Spirit..."
Yun Zhaozhao let out a scream.
Heartbroken!
Distressed!
Dying of grief!
Everyone sighed in sympathy!
Poor monkey, it could no longer be with its little girlfriend...
Just then, a miraculous scene occurred.
The once lifeless heart suddenly beat.
Bang!
The beat was strong and powerful, filled with infinite vitality.
What was going on?
Had they mistaken it?
A heart, long dead, how could it beat?
The Golden Core masters couldn't believe it; they thought they had misread.
Bang bang bang!
As if to prove it to everyone, the heart beat again and again.
Full of life!
Infinitely vigorous!
Streams of blood energy spread from the heart.
Immediately, the phantom images of the five peaks appeared.
The five peaks spun around the heart's blood energy.
Wisps of powerful energy were continuously injected into the heart's blood energy.
The heart's blood energy was undergoing an incredibly profound evolution.
The original shackles were broken.
A brand new life was bursting forth!
Bang bang bang!
The powerful beats of the heart gave people the illusion that this was no longer the beating of a heart, but the rhythm of the vast earth.
As the heart beat, the blood energy expanded and ascended.
One meter, two meters... ten meters... thirty meters!
Finally, the blood energy surged to thirty meters, and the phantom images of the five peaks also grew to thirty meters, slowly rotating around the blood energy.
Bang!
The heart beat again.
The blood energy trembled violently, rapidly condensing, forming a "Dharma Form" thirty meters tall.
This "Dharma Form" was in the image of a monkey, its eyes emitting golden light, majestic and imposing.
It bore an eight-tenths resemblance to the Little Spirit Monkey King, but with an aura of "who in heaven or earth can match me?"
Roar!
The "Spirit Monkey Dharma Form" roared, its dominance unmatched, causing the heavens and earth to submit.
Even the phantom images of the five peaks could not resist, they all submitted, being trampled under the "Spirit Monkey Dharma Form's" foot.
