Chapter 915 - 706: Snake Egg?!
On the other side, while Shen Tang was asleep, she had no idea that a faint layer of pale green light was quietly emanating from her body.
The scattered motes of light drifting in the air seemed to be summoned by some unknown force, and began gathering around her of their own accord, silently seeping into her body.
In her sleep, Shen Tang unconsciously furrowed her brows slightly; she only felt an indescribable discomfort spreading all over her body, and let out a faint groan of pain.
The energy gathered inside her, washing through her limbs and bones, rampaging through her blood vessels. Her whole body seemed to swell faintly, even her veins clearly bulged out, pulsing violently as if they were the twisted roots of an ancient tree.
"Ah—"
She cried out and abruptly jolted awake.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw specks of green light swirling around her, and noticed the changes in her body. Her expression changed at once. "What is this stuff?"
[Host, you’re finally awake! I’ve been calling you for ages, but you were sleeping so deeply you couldn’t hear at all... Don’t just stand there, those green lights are precious Life Essence Power. Hurry up and absorb them, they’ll help with your cultivation!] The System’s voice was brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
Shen Tang froze for a moment, then closed her eyes to carefully feel that foreign energy inside her body.
It was surging and colliding within her, yet it faintly shared the same source as her Healing Ability, exuding a pure breath of life. In almost an instant, she confirmed that this thing was hugely beneficial to her!
Without time for more thought, Shen Tang immediately began refining this power.
She didn’t know how long had passed; the superpower within her grew fuller and denser, and the cultivation that had previously hit a bottleneck actually showed faint signs of breaking through!
A rush of excitement and secret joy surged in Shen Tang’s heart, and she continued refining.
Suddenly, there came a soft "crack" from inside her, as if something had shattered.
Right after that, her body seemed to turn into a gigantic vortex, as all her superpower surged in like a tidal wave!
The bottleneck was smashed in one go, and her cultivation leaped to a new height!
Shen Tang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened her eyes. Those clear, alluring eyes of hers now seemed even deeper and more ethereal, mesmerizing to behold.
The aura around her body also became rich and majestic, carrying a faint sense of returning to simplicity, unfathomably profound.
The System’s delighted voice rang out, [Congratulations, Host, your strength has broken through to the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier!]
Surprise lit up Shen Tang’s face. She clenched her fist, feeling the surging power within her. Her field of vision seemed clearer, her perception of energy even sharper. Her entire body felt lighter, and her superpower had become thicker and stronger.
One had to know, her previous superpower had practically relied on the System’s cheats, but the enhancement items the System provided were limited and only effective below the Primordial Beast Tier.
Ever since she stepped into the Primordial Beast Tier, her cultivation had slowed to a crawl. She’d been stuck at the mid-stage of Primordial Beast Tier, unable to break through, as if she’d hit her ceiling.
She had originally thought she might never reach a higher realm again, yet she hadn’t expected that today, by a twist of fate, she’d charge straight up to the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier in one breath!
This was truly an unexpected windfall!
The System went on to explain, [Host, this time can be considered a blessing in disguise. This water contains the purest origin power from the Mother Tree’s root system, and the Mother Tree’s origin carries a reviving-life attribute, which is of the same lineage as your Healing Ability. Instead, it facilitated this upgrade.]
[Host, you can try out your upgraded superpower. It will definitely give you a huge surprise!]
At Shen Tang’s slight movement of thought, a vine suddenly burst up from the ground not far away.
She stared, eyes wide in astonishment, almost unable to believe that she had summoned it. She had used her healing power—her Wood Healing Ability. Although it was very effective, it had always been a support skill, a pure "healer" route with absolutely no offensive power at all.
Yet after absorbing the Mother Tree’s energy, she could actually control plants like the Parasite Clan!
Moreover, this vine was not ordinary. After merging with her Healing Ability, it seemed... it could also devour Life Force!
That’s right, Healing was essentially the flow of Life Force.
When she treated others, she was transmitting her own Life Force to them; conversely, she could also draw Life Force from others.
At first glance, this seemed completely unrelated to treatment, but in battle, if she encountered an overwhelmingly strong enemy, this skill could instead become a trump card to save her life, even catching the opponent off guard.
This fused skill was simply too strong!
[Hehe, Host, you’ve evolved from a healer into a Vampire Princess!]
Shen Tang was eager to try it out, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find a target to practice on.
"Right, where’s Yin Zhou? How is he?" She snapped out of her excitement and hurried anxiously toward the riverbank.
