Chapter 513

Zhu Wushi watched Zheng He collapse to the ground, sensing the life essence within Zheng He's body continuously draining away.

A cold, sharp glint appeared in Zhu Wushi's eyes, and then he raised his right hand, placing it upon Zheng He's skull, and whispered softly:

"Sucking Power Great Art!"

Subsequently, visible to the naked eye, strands of pure white lines appeared on Zheng He's body.

These lines moved at an extreme speed from Zheng He's body to his skull, and then from Zhu Wushi's right hand into Zhu Wushi's own body.

He felt waves of internal energy belonging to the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm entering his body.

As he absorbed Zheng He's internal energy, Zhu Wushi's own cultivation base grew continuously, breaking through the Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm and entering the Earth Immortal*Innate Realm.

Earth Immortal*Innate Realm Early Stage, Mid Stage, Late Stage, Peak, and Peak Perfection—as he absorbed the power within Zheng He, the barrier to the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm posed no obstruction at all, being shattered by the powerful and vast internal energy.

Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm Early Stage, Mid Stage, Late Stage; after reaching the Late Stage of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, a slight obstruction appeared.

Sensing this slight barrier, Zhu Wushi, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, not only continued to absorb the infinite internal energy within Zheng He's body but also sucked all the residual life essence from Zheng He's body into his own.

As the internal energy in Zhu Wushi's dantian became more and more abundant and concentrated, the barrier between the Late Stage and Peak of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm could no longer withstand the impact of the internal energy, and Zhu Wushi successfully entered the Peak of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm.

From the Peak of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm to Perfection, it was the same as before; Zhu Wushi brutally used his vast internal energy to crash through one barrier after another.

However, when Zhu Wushi's cultivation base reached the Peak Perfection of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, which was the same as Zheng He's cultivation base before his death, no matter how much the internal energy in Zhu Wushi's dantian increased, he could not find the threshold to the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Immortal Realm.

As time passed, Zhu Wushi transformed all the internal energy within Zheng He's body, including Zheng He's essence, energy, and spirit, into life essence and absorbed it into his own body.

And Zheng He, having been absorbed by Zhu Wushi using the Sucking Power Great Art, saw his once-intact corpse turn into a dried-up husk.

If anyone were to see this dried corpse and know it was Zheng He, who possessed the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm Perfection, they would certainly find it unbelievable.

One must know that once one reaches the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, even after death, the body will maintain its immortality for a hundred years due to the infinite active factors within it.

After absorbing everything from Zheng He, Zhu Wushi shook his hand lightly, and Zheng He's corpse instantly fell to pieces.

Feeling the power within his body and the sea-like, endless internal energy, Zhu Wushi laughed excitedly.

"I never expected the Three Treasure Eunuch to possess such vast internal energy!"

Zhu Wushi excitedly felt the surging power throughout his body, but then a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

"Why is my power so surging now, yet I cannot see even a shadow of entering the next realm??"

"Even when I was in the Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm, even though I couldn't reach the Earth Immortal*Innate Realm, I could still feel the barrier between the Mortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"Why is it that now, having reached the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, I have no clues or leads on how to enter the next realm?"

One must know that the internal energy Zhu Wushi has now accumulated in his body has reached an extremely terrifying level.

Originally, Zhu Wushi was able to rise from a Grandmaster to the Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm in a short time by secretly using the Sucking Power Great Art to absorb the internal energy of various experts in the Great Ming Jianghu.

If it weren't for the fact that he stayed in each realm for too short a time and his corresponding insights did not improve, Zhu Wushi could have already entered the Earth Immortal*Innate Realm with his original accumulation of internal energy.

And now Zhu Wushi has absorbed all of Zheng He, both his internal energy and his essence, energy, and spirit.

One must know that Zhu Wushi began absorbing while Zheng He was still alive, so the power within Zheng He's body did not drain much; the reason Zheng He had no ability to fight back was because he had been severely injured in the battle with Tianquan and others, and the dagger in Zhu Wushi's hand contained a trace of sealing power.

The moment Zhu Wushi plunged the dagger into Zheng He's heart, the sealing power within the dagger permeated Zheng He's entire body.

So in the end, Zheng He could not fight back against Zhu Wushi and could only watch helplessly as everything he possessed was sucked away by Zhu Wushi.
