The power of the Starry Sky inheritance coupled with Kang Shin-mu's breakthrough allowed him to maintain a state of being evenly matched with Deputy General Shui Li.
Now, Deputy General Shui Li's power was constantly being devoured, but it did not affect Deputy General Shui Li's combat power for a while, so Kang Shin-mu could not gain too much of an advantage.
But as time passed …
The terrifying power of Kang Shin-mu's devouring power was reflected!
He constantly devoured the opponent's power of the Water God Phantom, allowing him to develop an extremely strong resistance to all of the opponent's power. This resistance, combined with the body refining dragon-type martial technique that he cultivated and the super strong defensive ability of the Great Sorrow Heavenly Dragon Seal, allowed him to directly resist the opponent's attack!
In the beginning, he was not very confident.
But as Kang Shin-mu devoured enough power of the Water God Phantom, Kang Shin-mu's resistance to the opponent's power reached its strongest.
This gave Kang Shin-mu enough confidence.
Therefore, the following battle began to be one-sided.
Deputy General Shui Li's power was constantly being devoured to the extent that it even affected his combat power, while Kang Shin-mu became extremely strong. Even if the opponent exerted all his strength, he could not hurt Kang Shin-mu at all. Under the influence of the Starry Sky inheritance power, the surface of Kang Shin-mu's black dragon body seemed to be attached to a layer of starlight.
The appearance of this layer of starlight made Kang Shin-mu's dragon body indestructible.
This was the "Supreme Celestial Body" of the Starry Sky inheritance power. It was one of the abilities produced by the combination of the Starry Sky runes and could strengthen the physical strength of a cultivator.
Generally speaking, this method was rarely used, but for Kang Shin-mu, this Supreme Celestial Body was tailor-made.
Under the state of the Supreme Celestial Body, Kang Shin-mu was completely unafraid of any attack from the opponent. Any attack from the opponent was like a drizzle to him!
In such a state, Deputy General Shui Li had almost lost all threat to Kang Shin-mu.
"Kill!"
As Kang Shin-mu continued to devour the Water God Phantasm's power, the Water God Phantasm's body became more and more empty. The techniques and moves he executed also became weaker and weaker, making others feel as if he was an arrow at the end of its flight.
Vice General Shui Li looked like he had suffered a setback. He had never thought that the situation would turn out like this.
He had never thought that his moment of carelessness would give Kang Shin-mu an opportunity. More importantly, who would have thought that Kang Shin-mu would have such an ability to devour energy?
Vice General Shui Li's complexion turned extremely ugly. He exerted all of his strength, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything to Kang Shin-mu.
For Kang Shin-mu, Vice-General Shui Li was like a cornered beast. Even so, he was still stronger than Vice-General Shui Li. After all, Vice-General Shui Li could no longer unleash his full power.
This was the terror of the Devouring Power!
And this was only when Kang Shin-mu was facing an opponent of similar strength as him. If Kang Shin-mu was facing an opponent weaker than him, the Devouring Power would directly determine the outcome of the battle.
Of course, he was not willing to use this method now.
After all, once he used the Devouring Power, it meant that he would devour everything of his opponent, leaving nothing behind.
This method was too vicious. For Kang Shin-mu, there was no need to go to this extent unless his opponent was extremely ruthless.
At that moment, Vice-General Shui Li's Water God Phantasm became fainter and fainter under Kang Shin-mu's continuous devouring. Its power was almost completely devoured, becoming a source of energy for Kang Shin-mu.
In the end, Vice-General Shui Li seemed to have seen his final outcome. He understood that he could no longer escape death today.
Hence, he finally made up his mind …
"I know your goal is this sovereign's Heart of Profundity!"
"Hehe, wishful thinking!"
As soon as Deputy General Shui Li's voice fell, Jiang Shenwu felt that the other party's remaining strength had all condensed into a single point in his body, and then in the next moment, without any warning, it exploded out!
Vice-General Shui Li had actually chosen to self-destruct in such a desperate situation …
Indeed, this fellow was a Supreme God-level Talisman Aqua Race expert and a deputy general in his army. His Heart of Profundity was definitely something that Jiang Shenwu needed.
However, even if he self-destructed his Profound Heart, it would not affect Kang Shin-mu and the rest's gains.
After all, Kang Shin-mu and the rest's main goal was to eliminate Vice-General Shui Li for his identity as a Vice-General of the army!
Although the entire Fu Shui Clan had more than 10 Vice-Generals stationed in the small world where the Iron Phoenix Fortress was located, killing one of these Vice-Generals would greatly weaken their strength.
This was the main purpose of Kang Shin-mu and the rest's operation this time.
As long as they could confirm that Vice General Shui Li was dead, then they would be able to obtain sufficient rewards for this operation. Even if he self-destructed his profound heart, it would still be the same. This had already risen to a strategic level. It was no longer the same as before, where they could only exchange their profound heart for rewards by killing little guys.
As Vice-General Shui Li self-destructed his Profound Heart, he exploded into pieces …
Yu Tianchang and the other two women, who had hidden themselves through illusions, had not expected this to be the final result.
"It seems that Vice-General Shui Li is stronger than Zhao Qingtian."
"Indeed. After all, he is a Vice-General who has been on the battlefield for many years."
"But I didn't expect Kang Shin-mu to be able to kill him … Although he self-destructed his Profound Heart, it can be said that he was forced to die by Kang Shin-mu."
"I didn't think so before, but why do I feel that Kang Shin-mu is so handsome now?"
Feng Lige looked at the battlefield. After Vice-General Shui Li self-destructed his Profound Heart, Kang Shin-mu's Black Divine Dragon body was not shaken at all. Kang Shin-mu didn't even use any defensive means to resist the destructive power of Vice-General Shui Li's final self-destruction.
This made countless little stars appear in her eyes.
Once upon a time, Kang Shin-mu was like a little brother to her. Even when Feng Lige heard about Kang Shin-mu's deeds in Emperor Xi's Dragon Martial Arts Academy, she didn't approach him to understand him … After all, Kang Shin-mu was too far away from her level at that time.
But she didn't expect that Kang Shin-mu had crossed so many realms in the blink of an eye and directly stepped into the Supreme God Level.
On the other hand, she had only advanced from the fifth level of the Martial Emperor Level to the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Emperor Level …
The speed of their improvement was not at the same level at all. If Kang Shin-mu's improvement was twice as fast as theirs, it would be considered slow. It should be at least two or three times faster.
