Chapter 354

Aether frowned tightly and gripped his longsword slightly.

This fierce aura was almost identical to that of the fierce beast.

Now, it remained to be seen whether his mind had been affected.

The Iniquitous Baptist slowly opened his eyes, boundless blood color brewing within.

Aether gripped his weapon, ready to strike at any moment.

But the next moment, the Iniquitous Baptist knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Your Highness! My Immortality Curse has already been half eradicated!"

Instantly.

The Abyss was in an uproar.

211. Absorbing fierce beast essence blood, fragile Abyss Mage becomes a berserker.

The Immortality Curse, really half eradicated?

A drop of essence blood?

And it was the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment peak fierce beast!

The entire Abyss instantly boiled over, the noisy clamor calling more and more Abyss people.

After learning what had happened here, they immediately joined the revelry.

Aether turned back with a dark face and shouted angrily:

"Quiet!"

Instantly, the entire Abyss became obedient again.

Aether then turned to look at the Iniquitous Baptist and pondered:

"Tell me your feelings."

"Yes!"

The Iniquitous Baptist stood up, his face filled with joy as he said:

"At that moment just now, after the essence blood entered my dantian, I felt as if my whole body had been cut in half at the waist."

"My entire body also felt like it was being twisted like a pretzel."

"Immediately after, a force that felt like both boiling magma and freezing ice condensed."

"Slowly, it seemed as if strange things were being stripped away from my whole body."

"After being stripped away, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief, but immediately after came even greater pain."

"This intertwined feeling made me feel that death would be better than life."

"Later on, it felt as if my dantian was about to explode, and the abyssal power was also being obliterated."

"Finally... I was in a state between fainting and waking."

"When everything ended, I realized that the Immortality Curse had been half solved, but the abyssal power had also been worn away quite a bit."

Aether nodded thoughtfully.

"In other words, it can indeed solve the Immortality Curse, right?"

"On this point, I can guarantee it, but the pain is also extreme; if one cannot endure it, I'm afraid..."

Aether waved his hand, telling him to continue.

It was just pain; compared to solving the Immortality Curse, the Khaenri'ahns didn't care at all.

As long as the Immortality Curse could be solved, they would even self-mutilate, let alone eat something.

However...

This was good news for the Khaenri'ahns, but for Aether, there was nothing worth learning from it.

What he wanted to know was...

Whether this essence blood could make him stronger.

"So, has your strength increased now?"

Aether asked, and the Iniquitous Baptist was silent for a moment before saying somewhat uncertainly:

"The abyssal power has been worn away quite a bit; if we're talking about abyssal power, I'm afraid I'm not even as good as an Abyss Lector now."

The Abyss Lectors on the side had dark expressions.

"So that means there is a range of becoming stronger?"

Aether didn't care and continued to ask.

The Iniquitous Baptist pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, please look!"

The Iniquitous Baptist clenched his fists, and the muscles on his forearms instantly tightened; those steel-like muscles shimmered with a faint white light.

The Iniquitous Baptist took out a few pieces of crystal ore, took a deep breath, and swung a fierce punch.

Instantly, a sonic boom sounded, a burst of violent wind bloomed from under his fist, and the fist hammered fiercely onto the crystal ore.

In an instant, the crystal ore disintegrated, and the parts directly contacted by the fist were instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the air.

Instantly, Aether was amazed.

That was the hardest crystal ore.

Even a Genshin powerhouse would need the sharpness of a weapon to break it.

This Iniquitous Baptist, without using any elemental power, smashed the crystal ore with pure physical strength?

It wasn't that no one could do this, it was just that...

This Iniquitous Baptist was originally a mage, famous for his fragile physique!

A drop of essence blood turned him into a berserker?

What kind of absurd development was this?

An Abyss Apostle on the side said softly:

"I have heard that fierce beasts are monsters that prioritize physique; it seems that you, sir, already possess a physique comparable to a fierce beast."

The Iniquitous Baptist was also somewhat smug, but in front of Aether, he still said tactfully:

"I am still far from it; it is said that even a Foundation Establishment mid-stage fierce beast can easily grind crystal ore into powder."

"When we hunted this Black Tiger fierce beast before, it stepped on a small hill and flattened it with just a slight movement."

"Compared to this fierce beast, I am still far off."

The surrounding Abyss people twitched their mouths, not caring about his humble-brag.

Aether nodded with satisfaction.

"The physique has indeed been strengthened a lot; it is worthy of being the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment peak fierce beast."

"Anything else?"

Aether looked up at the Iniquitous Baptist and said softly:

"I just saw your dantian filled with the blood mist differentiated from the essence blood; can you use that power?"

The latter was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a while, said softly:

"I can indeed feel that power, but I don't know how to use it..."

"What if you mobilize it just like abyssal power?"

Aether said casually, and the Iniquitous Baptist twitched his mouth, saying helplessly:

"This kind of power, it should..."

"Try it first."

Aether interrupted him, and the latter, seeing Aether's firm tone, simply calmed his mind and connected to the blood energy in his dantian.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Iniquitous Baptist's figure was gradually shrouded in a layer of fierce aura.

It was as if the Black Tiger fierce beast had been reborn.

The surrounding Abyss people were forced to step back step by step by this aura.

Aether stared at the other party; vaguely, a layer of blood mist had already shrouded the Iniquitous Baptist.

Suddenly, the Iniquitous Baptist opened his eyes, his eyes turning into blood-colored tiger pupils like those of the Black Tiger fierce beast, revealing a cold-blooded intent.

He bowed slightly, his spine standing out somewhat prominently.

His body size expanded quite a bit in this instant, and his clothes were also torn apart.

Muscles bulged, and hair stood on end.

Even his nails grew wildly, like tiger claws. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
