"Roar ~"
The panda leaped up and headbutted the golden stone man, causing it to stagger and allowing Du Fei to break free.
The panda might be a wretched and selfish person, but in times of life and death, it was a reliable comrade.
The golden golem flew into a rage out of humiliation and lunged at the panda, choking it.
Du Fei calmed down and sat cross-legged on the ground. Sacred Light Physique didn't need to meditate and could absorb yang spiritual qi quickly. But meditating would speed up the recovery of spiritual qi.
Du Fei only sat for a dozen seconds before jumping up and hammering the golden golem.
A dazzling light blasted the golden golem, but when it faded, Du Fei was shocked to find the golden golem unharmed.
The golden golem was too hard!
The panda's eyes rolled back, and white foam kept coming out of its mouth. It looked like it was about to breathe its last breath.
"I'll kill you!"
Du Fei roared, jumping like a monkey and hugging the golden golem from behind. He covered its eyes with both hands and dug.
The golden golem's body was as hard as steel, with only its eyes being weak. It screamed in pain and let go of the panda to hammer Du Fei. Once, twice, thrice. Du Fei screamed in pain.
"I'll kill you!" Du Fei cried again, squeezing as hard as he could.
The golden golem's blows were heavy, but Du Fei didn't let go. His hands dug harder and harder until the golden golem's eyes were dug out.
The golden golem rolled on the ground, clutching its eyes in pain. Du Fei took the chance to roll to the side and run with the panda in tow.
Just as Du Fei was dragging the panda away, the golden stone man suddenly stood up. Two new eyeballs had already grown out of its eye sockets.
"Ka, ka, ka!"
"My Mama Mi …"
Du Fei shrieked in fright and ran faster with the panda in tow.
The golden golem chased them for a long time and flew into a rage. It jumped like a rabbit, picking up speed and closing the distance between them.
Du Fei couldn't run and the panda couldn't stand. Just as they were about to close their eyes and wait for death, they heard a loud shout.
"Thunderstorm Palm!"
Ka, ka, ka …
A dozen lightning bolts struck the golden golem, sending it tumbling a dozen meters away.
Li Mo came!
"Bro Mo!"
"Roar —"
Du Fei and the panda were overjoyed to see Li Mo.
The golden stone man stared at Du Fei with new eyes, not daring to step forward for a long time.
More than a dozen bolts of lightning struck its body. Although they didn't cause any fatal injuries, the power of the lightning still caused fine cracks to appear on the surface of its body.
Lightning Palm was an orthodox lightning art. Of all natural magical arts, lightning was the strongest. Li Mo couldn't use spiritual qi in the Body Tempering Stage, so he could only use Blood Boil Art to simulate spiritual qi and use Lightning Palm. But that would greatly reduce Lightning Palm's power.
Thunder techniques required spiritual energy to be used in order to unleash their true power.
"Ka ka ka ka ka!"
The golden golem raged and charged Li Mo.
More than a dozen bolts of lightning shot out again, blasting the golden stone man and sending him tumbling.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The golden golem pounced on Li Mo a dozen times, only to be repelled by Li Mo's Thunderstorm Palms.
The surface of the golden stone man's body was already densely covered with cracks.
The golden golem looked down then turned to run.
Li Mo stepped twenty meters in a single step. Lightning flashed in his palm as he aimed at the golden golem.
The golden golem kept running while Li Mo chased at a leisurely pace. Another dozen Thunderstorm Palms blasted the golden golem to pieces.
Li Mo could move twenty meters in a single step thanks to a magical art called Warp. This was a great art passed down from ancient times. At its highest level, a single step could travel hundreds of millions of lightyears.
Li Mo walked to the remains of the golden golem and found a golden pearl the size of an egg.
This pearl was the 'demon core' of the golden golem.
"I didn't think there would be a diamond essence on this golem planet. Be careful when you travel."
Li Mo took out some spiritual herbs and gave them to Du Fei and the panda.
The golden golem was a diamond essence, a rare type of monster. But once it was cultivated, its power was tyrannical. Fortunately, this diamond essence didn't seem to have been alive for long, no more than seven hundred years. Otherwise, even Li Mo would have had to use a lot of effort to subdue it.
All things in this world had a spirit. And when it was awakened, it would become 'psychic'. Depending on the time and place, it would turn into a demon, an essence, a monster, or a charm.
Only goblins and fairies could learn innate spells without a teacher, so they would produce the source of spells — inner cores, which were also known as demon cores. Monsters and fairies did not know innate spells, so they would not produce demon cores. If goblins and fairies were compared to mages in games, then monsters and fairies would be physical-type warriors.
Li Mo gave the demon core to the panda.
"Eat this."
The panda swallowed it in one gulp.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz —
The panda's body flashed with golden light, startling it.
Moments later, the panda was back to normal.
Li Mo walked over and hit the panda's chest a few times. A golden light enveloped the panda.
The panda was dumbfounded.
It really was a descendant of one of the ten ancient beasts, the Pixiu, or else it wouldn't have the ability to eat whatever it ate.
Li Mo laughed.
The Pi Xiu, one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Beasts, possessed the Innate Divine Ability called 'Devour'. It knew what it ate, and would have what it ate. In ancient times, it was precisely because of the Pi Xiu's Innate Divine Ability that they were besieged by tens of thousands of races, leading to their extinction.
Clang!
Clang!
The panda hit its chest a few times and the golden light flashed again. When it realized what was happening, it danced with joy.
Li Mo said, "Try it and see if you can use the diamond essence's magical art."
The diamond essence's magical art was ordinary, a rudimentary earth art. It had to stay still for a dozen seconds before burrowing underground. It couldn't even walk through the earth.
The panda tried for a long time, but in the end shook its head.
Li Mo patiently taught it how to use the diamond essence's magical art, but after an hour, he gave up.
There was no need to teach it anymore. The panda only devoured less than 5% of the diamond essence's demon qi. As for magical arts, it didn't inherit them.
After all, it wasn't a pure-blooded Pixiu. It would be strange if it could master the devour divine art.
"Ahhhh ~"
Thump!
Li Mo was disappointed in the panda's incomplete talent when Du Fei's body flashed like the sun. Once, twice, thrice … nine times in a row!
