As the flame meteors approached Jared’s body, one by one, they were directly devoured and transformed into pure energy to nourish his physical body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of muffled sounds resonated from Jared’s body. His muscles grew more solid from the energy nourishment, and his bones emitted a crisp clatter, signifying a profound transformation. His height increased subtly, and his physique became more balanced and robust.
“It’s not enough!” the man’s voice came again. “Bring forth more flame meteors!”
Following his words, countless flame meteors surged forth from the distant starry sky again, their numbers tenfold greater than before. The meteors were larger, brighter, and contained even more terrifying energy.
However, at that point, Jared was no longer afraid. As he roared toward the sky, a faint golden light appeared on his body’s surface, a sign that his physical body’s strength had reached a new realm.
“Bring it on!” Jared leaped up, rushing straight into the densest part of the flame meteor shower.
His fists swung like meteor hammers, each punch shattering several flame meteors. At the same time, his body was frantically absorbing the energy, and his physical strength increased visibly.
Crack! Crack! His bones made a continuous crunching sound, indicating a rise in bone density. His muscle fibers were tempered by the energy, becoming tougher and more powerful, and every inch of his skin radiated a healthy glow.
Standing far away, the man nodded with satisfaction. “Excellent… Your physical body has become impenetrable, but it’s still not enough! Continue!”
Jared did not stop. He felt his body was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. The energy of the flame meteors continuously poured into his body, transforming into his physical body’s strength.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last flame meteor was devoured by him, he slowly opened his eyes.
Right then, he was radiating a faint golden light. His skin was lustrous, and his muscles were lean, strong, and full of explosive power.
“Sir, I feel that my physical body has reached an unprecedented realm!” Jared said excitedly. He felt that he could now shatter a mountain with a single punch or flatten a river with one stomp.
The man smiled slightly. “This is just the beginning. While your physical body is very strong, it has not yet reached its true limit.”
“Then I will continue…” Jared instinctively turned to face the flame meteors again. The man watched Jared amidst the flame meteor shower, his thoughts unknown.
At the Third Hall on level eight, Enaricus was currently standing outside the main hall with a group of his disciples.
Flanking Enaricus were Cormac, who had recovered, four top Celestial Guards of the Third Hall, and a multitude of other experts from the Third Hall.
Enaricus kept looking around, seemingly waiting for someone.
Just then, Enaricus turned his head and saw a middle-aged man slowly approaching from a distance. That man was the heir of the Malevolent Path Hall and was one rank higher than Stebarin.
No wonder Enaricus was personally waiting at the door.
Seeing his arrival, Enaricus quickly stepped forward, smiling. “Prince Percival, I’m honored to have you grace my humble abode…”
Percival Wulverton maintained a composed expression, seemingly unimpressed by Enaricus’ flattery.
“So you want to unseat Ms. Dusko and occupy the Celestial King Palace?” Percival asked Enaricus.
Enaricus nodded. “That is correct. I have been cooperating with the Malevolent Path Hall for so long, so I would like to ask the Malevolent Path Hall to help me out with this.”
“I will help you,” Percival agreed with a nod. However, Enaricus looked at Percival. With slight confusion, he then asked, “Prince Percival, are you the only one here? If it’s just you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get close to the Celestial King Palace.”
After listening to his question, Percival gave a cold smile. “Don’t worry, everything is within my control…”
