Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 2489 - 2490: Acquiring the Demon Core
However, it can’t be said that the behemoth of space-time has lost all its power.
On the contrary, Ye Luo felt a massive threat from it.
Roar!
The creature let out a low growl at Ye Luo again but surprisingly didn’t advance to attack.
He once heard Old Monster Ding say that the space-time behemoth was exceedingly aggressive, with an astonishing attack power, so if it did not attack, there must be a reason for it.
Could it be? Ye Luo’s heart stirred, and he took out the space-time fragment.
However, the next moment, his heart sank. The space-time behemoth suddenly let out a roar and lunged straight at Ye Luo.
Damn, his assumption was completely wrong. The space-time behemoth was not afraid of the space-time fragment but was confirming whether Ye Luo possessed such a treasure!
He was also confused, not realizing that the space-time fragment was the greatest supplement for the space-time behemoth.
"Let’s do this!"
Ye Luo roared furiously. At this narrow junction, the cave itself was not spacious, and Ye Luo had no way back; he could only fight!
He wanted to test the true power of this space-time behemoth.
Great Sage Palm! Nuonuo Divine Fist!
Rumble!
Ye Luo struck with a palm.
Sizzle!
Yet his attack only produced a strange noise upon hitting the behemoth, causing no damage and not even slowing its speed!
Ye Luo’s eyes widened; the behemoth was indeed formidable? That palm used seventy percent of his strength, enough to kill an old ancestor-level master.
But the behemoth was unharmed!
This defensive power was too insane!
At this moment, the beast had already reached above Ye Luo’s head.
An incomparably tyrannical power of the space-time law engulfed Ye Luo...
That the behemoth could manipulate a simple space-time law, stronger even than Old Monster Ding, who had spent a lifetime understanding it, only to be outdone by a single space-time behemoth.
However, Ye Luo had no time to ponder that and immediately summoned the Lingyun Sword.
Swish, swish!
He slashed towards his surroundings.
A dark light enveloped him, indicating he was now clad in the Terminal Battle Armor.
At once, his aura heightened significantly.
"Break it for me!"
With a roar, he thrust a sword, the sword Qi rampaging, gathering the Slaughter Law, War Intent Law, and a trace of Thunder Principle onto the Lingyun Sword.
There is no absolute defense, only insufficient attacking strength.
This sword from Ye Luo differed significantly from the previous palm strike.
In the blink of an eye, the sword tore through the surrounding space-time laws!
Not only that, but it even pierced into the beast’s belly.
Beasts are beasts after all; though the space-time behemoth was sharp, its spiritual intelligence was not well-developed.
This well explained why among Spirit Beasts, intelligence varies by species not by strength or rank.
Like the Skysoar Beast, while lacking in rank compared to a space-time behemoth, its intelligence upon birth rivals that of the Human Race.
Plop!
As Ye Luo withdrew the Lingyun Sword, a fist-sized Demon Core fell down.
Ye Luo’s face lit with joy. Among Spirit Beasts, bodily structures vary by species.
Some store power within their bodies, with any part possibly being a container of energy.
Only a small number store power inside their Demon Core!
Such Spirit Beasts are favorites among cultivators; energy stored elsewhere dissipates upon beast demise.
For example, the space-time behemoth’s body dissipated, leaving a trace of space-time law power.
However, the Demon Core is different; it won’t vanish anytime soon!
The core stores various powers cultivated through the Spirit Beast’s lifetime, some directly absorbable by cultivators.
Just one space-time behemoth could cause a stir if brought to the Sixth Region!
Ye Luo promptly collected the Demon Core, injecting a trace of divine sense.
He needed to probe what attributes of power were within the core.
Spiritual power was most basic, taking up a large portion, followed by space-time law power in significant measure.
The rest was mixed minor powers, not mainstream.
Ye Luo desired spiritual power and space-time law power.
These were refined by the behemoth, easier to absorb than in the cave.
Still, this absorption pertains to Ye Luo alone, not by the space-time fragment; though rich for Ye Luo, the space-time law power in the core is negligible to the fragment.
Phew!
Ye Luo exhaled a breath, stood up, eyes radiating brilliance.
Having absorbed the core, his spiritual power replenished, more importantly, his inner space-time law!
Absorbing the law power deepened his understanding of space-time law!
His Dantian now held a richer amount of this law.
At this rate, he would shortly comprehend a thread of space-time law, utilizing it alongside the space-time fragment.
Of course, this application differs vastly from Old Monster Ding, who merely stored law power, consuming it bit by bit, without personal comprehension!
But Ye Luo was different; he genuinely comprehended, birthing space-time law within himself.
Naturally, the power contrast was worlds apart!
Yet he quickly smiled wryly, realizing it’s easier said than done to slay the behemoth; the previous success was purely luck!
A real battle with it, even matching it would be impressive.
He proceeded forward, halting a few steps later, frowning.
Once more, he sensed an unknown creature’s gaze!
This feeling was even stronger than before.
Initially, he assumed it was the behemoth, but that couldn’t be; its power couldn’t reach this effect!
Furthermore, its aura differed entirely!
