A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 204: I’m Giving My All

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The devouring seed located at Wang Baole’s diaphragm was the first to show signs of greed towards the Spirit Qi rushing into Wang Baole’s body. It seemed to have been paying attention to the Spirit Qi that was entering for a while. When the Spirit Qi completely entered Wang Baole’s body, the devouring seed seemed to lose all control of itself and began to rotate slowly in a greedy manner.

However, it didn’t dare rotate too fast for fear that the Spirit Qi, which had entered on its own accord, would escape out of fear...

It wouldn’t have been much of an issue if it were just the rotating devouring seed being greedy, but as the devouring seed rotated, it seemed to have become integrated with Wang Baole’s physical body. Mysterious substances which weren’t apparent under normal circumstances began to leak out from every part of his body.

Eventually, they all gathered together, transforming into a black flow of current that traveled slowly within his body. If it had eyes, it would definitely carry a look of interest and curiosity towards the ignorant giant tree.

At the same time, beneath the shut eyelids of unconscious Wang Baole, a purple glow gradually surfaced in his listless pupils. It was as if the Spirit Qi that had entered Wang Baole’s body was so alluring that it couldn’t help but want to spread out. However, it hesitated out of fear of the black lightning and the devouring seed. It appeared as though it was testing the waters as it spread slowly and cautiously.

The black lightning and the devouring seed paid no notice to the spreading of the purple runes. All their attention was placed on the ignorant giant tree, as well as the Spirit Qi.

Therefore, after testing the waters, the purple runes began to spread out over a large area. However, like the black lightning and devouring seed, it chose to lay low in hibernation while observing the Spirit Qi and paying attention to the giant tree’s consciousness.

The giant tree’s consciousness was completely unaware that the three forces were present in Wang Baole at that moment. Without noticing anything, it continued to allow Spirit Qi to enter Wang Baole’s body to assimilate him and attempt to erase Wang Baole’s consciousness in the process.

If Wang Baole was conscious, he would definitely go berserk over the ridiculous inhabitants in his body that had shown up without notice at some point...

Just like that, time passed as the three forces laid their full attention on the Spirit Qi. It was only when the consciousness of the giant tree and the Spirit Qi had completely entered Wang Baole’s body—almost wiping out Wang Baole’s entire consciousness and leaving him just moments before showing signs of being assimilated—that, suddenly, the purple runes seemed unable to control itself anymore and dashed out!

Its sudden emergence immediately resulted in the formation of a purple sea that was shockingly forceful. Immediately, the purple runes approached the large tree’s consciousness that had just entered Wang Baole’s body. The purple runes seemed to have the ability to cripple the giant tree’s consciousness, and the purple sea swallowed the Spirit Qi before the giant tree’s consciousness realized it!

That mouthful took away almost ten percent of the Spirit Qi. The purple sea wanted to continue, but as the black lightning arrived, the purple sea retreated immediately and didn’t dare to go near again.

The black lightning was extremely fast and overbearing. It approached the Spirit Qi in a jiffy and sucked it strongly, directly removing over fifty percent of it before dissipating with satisfaction.

The swallowing of the Spirit Qi by the purple sea and the black lightning all happened in an instant. The giant tree’s consciousness, which was still numb under the effect of the purple sea, didn’t realize that its Spirit Qi had been sucked away at all.

Right then, as a large proportion of the Spirit Qi that had entered Wang Baole’s body was being sucked away, the devouring seed within Wang Baole finally moved. It was turning slowly initially but began rotating violently, causing a frightening suction force to be produced. In the blink of an eye, the suction force spread out of Wang Baole’s body, not only sucking the remainder of the Spirit Qi, but also transforming Wang Baole’s body into a gigantic black hole, sucking in everything—from the sticky fluid in the external world to the entire large tree—in a crazy manner!

Loud booms instantly erupted, and the fruit that Wang Baole was encased in was visibly withered. The sticky fluid within it seemed to have vapourised as well, changing its composition and transforming into nutrients that were immediately absorbed by Wang Baole’s body.

The absorption, despite being carried out by the devouring seed, caused Wang Baole’s body to be strengthened in the process. Changes occurred to his flesh and blood; his bones were strengthened, and his physical strength was significantly boosted!

At the same time, under the force of the suction, a sharp prick seemed to have pierced directly into his glabella. That caused his body to vibrate violently, forcing him to open his eyes.

With his eyes open, Wang Baole was momentarily shocked. His memories from before immediately surfaced in his mind; he recalled that he was grasped by the giant tree hand while resisting it, and then he lost consciousness.

Where am I... Wang Baole’s heart palpitated violently. He immediately became conscious of the surrounding Spirit Qi and the quickly depleting sticky fluid beneath his feet, and it threw him into a blur.

However, it was also at that moment that he realized the devouring seed in his body was going berserk with its suction force.

What’s going on...? In his bewilderment, the tree branch that had pierced through his forehead into his brain began to wither and break apart...

Looking at the pieces of broken tree branches falling off his head, Wang Baole was confused. His confusion increased as he sensed that his entire body was filled with energy, and his level of cultivation had been significantly increased. He scratched his head, incredulous at everything that had happened.

Could it be that the giant tree was trying to assimilate me, but ended up being absorbed by my devouring seed? With that thought in mind, Wang Baole immediately grew cautious. However, after waiting for a moment until all the sticky fluid and Spirit Qi had completely disappeared, he noticed that cracks had appeared around him, just like in the process of withering. Despite that, not a single figure appeared...

It was as if the giant tree hadn’t realized any of the changes that had happened, even up to that stage. That made Wang Baole surprised, and a bright glow flashed across his eyes at the same time.

Could it be that there’s a problem with the large tree itself? Wang Baole suspiciously clawed at the dried fruit wall surrounding him, breaking off an opening. However, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, the mosquito from the scabbard inside his body flew out to take a look at the outside world.

After seeing what was outside, Wang Baole’s body trembled violently. From the mosquito’s view, he saw that there was a gigantic tree hole in the external world. Surrounding the tree hole were innumerable fruits packed densely together, and he was located in one of the many fruits!

Indeed, this large tree was trying to assimilate me! With fear in his heart, Wang Baole began to claw off more of the fruit walls. After wriggling out from it, he scanned the surroundings. Even though he had seen what was outside from the eyes of the mosquito, he was still shocked frozen when he saw it himself.

Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng should be here as well! Wang Baole’s breathing quickened as he sped up his search. Very quickly, he found Zhao Yameng and realized that inside her fruit, a green hue had already appeared on her face. Tree rings could also be vaguely seen, and that made Wang Baole extremely anxious. He didn’t have time to search for Zhuo Yifan. He growled, activating his cultivation and unleashing power from his hands in an attempt to tear open the fruit!

However, the Spirit Qi was extremely concentrated within Zhao Yameng’s fruit, making its fruit wall immensely tough. Before the Spirit Qi had been exhausted, it was difficult to tear the fruit open. Seeing that that was the case, Wang Baole gritted his teeth tightly.

Damn it! I’m giving my all. It’s just absorbing, right? I’m not afraid of you as I have the devouring seed! With that thought, Wang Baole hugged the fruit tight, and the devouring seed within his body instantly erupted!

As it erupted, a strong suction force immediately flowed from Wang Baole’s body into the fruit. Seeing that his devouring seed was so supportive, Wang Baole quickly grew agitated as large amounts of Spirit Qi entered his body, significantly boosting his cultivation.

His agitation and nervousness combined, forming an indescribable sense of thrill that made Wang Baole extremely alert. He wanted to increase his force, but just at that moment...

The purple sea that was hiding in his pupils couldn’t control itself any longer. It emerged, charging towards the Spirit Qi in the fruit and swallowing it...

What’s that? The emergence of the purple sea surprised Wang Baole. He immediately realized that something was amiss, but even before he could check things out, the black lightning in his body also emerged, not wanting to lose out...

And what on earth was that? Wang Baole was about to jump out of his skin. He was completely shocked, confusion filling his mind.

Wang Baole was nothing but confused towards the ridiculous existences in his own body...
