The body of an eleventh-level strongman could be considered a treasure trove. The physical strength was exceptionally remarkable, and the soul intensity was outrageously high. These two aspects naturally became the nutrients for Wen Yu to strengthen his physical quality and soul intensity.
The red fruit was undoubtedly the Corpse Fruit, but this time, the energy contained within the Corpse Fruit produced by the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was over a thousand times that of a normal Corpse Fruit! Meanwhile, the body of the eleventh-level strongman also contained a large amount of origin power. Wen Yu could use the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to extract this origin power and enhance his racial talent. The white-glowing Corpse Fruits were the crystallization of origin power; as long as Wen Yu consumed one, he could enhance any type of divine beast species talent… The demonic entity was, in fact, just a type of divine beast species.
However, the extraction process required a long time. It had been a month since Wen Yu eliminated the city lord of the Second City of the Desolate Border Region, and even now, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had not fully consumed it…
The ultimate treasure, of course, was the magic crystal.
As the essence within the body of a professional, absorbing the magic crystal of the same level could enhance physical quality. This applied to the existence of the eleventh level as well, and it could even enhance the concentration of the eleventh-level strongman’s origin power.
These did not relate much to Wen Yu currently, and he indeed had no way to apply an eleventh-level magic crystal. However, a treasure was still a treasure; having it in his possession meant he didn’t have to worry about not being able to use it.
Indeed, Wen Yu now had no significant psychological pressure regarding his promotion to an eleventh-level strongman. Whether through clever plunder or by utilizing tools, Wen Yu believed that reaching the eleventh level was not an insurmountable chasm for him.
A sense of mysterious confidence…
Wen Yu casually picked two origin crystals from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine and put them in his mouth, sensing the rich origin power flowing into his body, continuously enhancing his racial talent. He consumed several in succession and then released his spirit pets.
The one-eyed, the star, the Faceless, Victor, and Lolo.
With the power to make dreams come true in hand, Wen Yu no longer had the same need for the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine. As for the distribution of the Corpse Fruit—Wen Yu thought everyone could just take a bit; there was no longer any need to calculate physical quality meticulously.
The several spirit pets also did not stand on ceremony with Wen Yu. Even the Faceless and Lolo grabbed a few Corpse Fruits for a snack, not to mention the other three little ones who huddled around the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, eating happily. The one-eyed even ripped off a large thigh from some eleventh-tier demonic creature, gnawing at it like a chicken wing. Watching the lively spirit pets, Wen Yu squinted his eyes, but his mind began to churn with thoughts.
In the month of fighting, he had beheaded 13 eleventh-level demonic creatures. The entire eleventh-level strongmen in the Desolate Borderlands had been cleaned up by Wen Yu.
This was not troublesome; the combat process had been relatively simple for Wen Yu. It proved that even when comparing Wen Yu’s strength horizontally among the eleventh-level strongmen, he was among the upper-middle tier. However, during the battles, Wen Yu organized his situation and current circumstances, and he still discovered some deeply hidden awkward aspects.
For instance, the arrangement of spirit pets.
He had indeed freed himself from the sovereign's control, but the spirit pets had not. Once they returned to Earth alone, they would likely be caught by the sovereign—Wen Yu didn’t believe that the sovereign lacked means to restrain the soul realm space.
The original plan regarding the free-range of the spirit pets had naturally become a castle in the air. Now, Wen Yu had no choice but to keep the spirit pets by his side—but this also carried certain dangers. While the anchor within Wen Yu was indeed gone, this thing still existed on the spirit pets. Once the spirit pets appeared in the outside world, even within the soul realm space, they could be pinpointed by the sovereign.
