This habit had allowed him to escape death time and again.

Just like at this moment, while using his trident to fend off his enemies, Tang Xian suddenly realized something.

His speed and strength alone should not have been enough to contend with so many calamity-level enemies.

“That’s right, I hadn’t noticed before, but I must have grown much stronger.”

Tang Xian vaguely thought of something.

The current situation should have been much worse, but thanks to the increase in his strength and speed, Tang Xian was not as helpless against the siege of calamity-level creatures as Tang was.

“It’s not that I can’t fight, but I must utilize every possible ability I have.”

The more injured he became, the stronger he grew.

These were the abilities of Taowu and Gluttony.

Originally, Tang Xian thought these two abilities were somewhat useless.

Especially the latter, because in past battles, he seldom got hurt, and even if he did, he would heal instantly.

His excessively strong regenerative abilities meant that Tang Xian never really needed to use Taowu’s skill.

But at this moment, he realized that he had indeed become much stronger; if not for the ability of Taowu, this battle would have ended long ago.

Moreover—this increase in strength was escalating.

This meant that his injuries were also becoming more severe.

In the current situation, Tang Xian didn’t know whether he would become stronger than these creatures first, or whether his life would be drained first.

He didn’t want to gamble.

How could he leave his fate to chance when his work was not yet done?

“It’s still not enough; I need to become even stronger.”

The giant saber-toothed lizard opened its mouth wide, its greedy eyes fixed on Tang Xian, wanting to devour him.

Tang Xian looked at this and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Pushing Streaming Light Refining Shadow to its limit, he charged into the mouth of the saber-toothed lizard before its terrifying bite could reach him.

This scene stupefied all the undead.

It wasn’t until the saber-toothed lizard let out a scream of pain that the undead snapped out of their shock.

There were indeed no secretions inside the saber-toothed lizard.

Its internal organs appeared to exist, but they were all composed of decayed matter.

Just like when Tang Xian wielded his trident, no matter how he killed, as long as the blue crystal did not shatter, the bodies of these obsessions would regenerate.

And what Tang Xian had to do, was just beginning.

Standing in the empty stomach, he started to bite and devour the saber-toothed lizard’s organs.

It was just as he had once told Dong Ran, survival is not like dancing.

One cannot survive for long in the mines if one minds being elegant.

These corporal organs, formed from decayed matter, were naturally extremely unpalatable, and Tang Xian did not care whether they could be digested or not.

He had already been driven to a dead end.

Now, there was only one thing he wanted to do—utilize all his available abilities to maximize his combat strength.

These indigestible remains of decayed bodies, like dust, quickly accumulated in Tang Xian’s stomach.

If he hadn’t been utterly devoid of food, Tang Xian would never have chosen to do such a repulsive act.

The dust that formed the obsessions’ bodies came with a thick stench of rot.

But for the sake of survival, Tang Xian didn’t stop, because as he felt full and nauseous, he also felt his vision become clearer; his sense of smell, hearing, strength, speed, and stamina were all continuously increasing.

Finally, when Tang Xian felt like his stomach was about to burst from the impurity, he struggled to fight the urge to vomit and used his trident to break through the saber-toothed lizard’s back.

If the previous Streaming Light Refining Shadow had golden lightning simply encircling Tang Xian, then at this moment, he was completely enveloped in golden flames.

His speed was incredibly fast, and his attacks were seamless.

After breaking through the saber-toothed lizard’s back, Tang Xian didn’t stop for a moment and sprinted straight through the creature’s skull.

The dark blue Soul Crystal shattered, and just like that, a calamity-level creature was killed by Tang Xian in two strikes.

The Gold-Breaking Beast was shocked to find that Tang Xian’s speed had improved again and it was almost unable to keep up.

Because of that moment earlier, no more creatures dared to open their mouths in front of Tang Xian, but Tang Xian’s transformation had already completed.

Before and after he had eaten, there was a tremendous change in his combat strength.

It wasn’t just his fighting ability that had improved; even the speed of his recovery had increased.

But Tang Xian didn’t take the time to heal his wounds.

His attacks became increasingly reckless.

When facing Taowu and the Gold-Breaking Beast, Tang Xian was even deliberately allowing himself to be injured more.

“Nothing in this world can’t be planned for, not even oneself.”

This wasn’t the first time Tang Xian had experienced serious injury.

He knew his limits, so if anyone could observe his vitality during this battle, they would find that Tang Xian was doing something he was very good at. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Managing his health.

If he regarded his health as a score, then what he was doing now was strictly controlling his health at a certain “passing score” — to maintain his maximum fighting strength at all times.

At this moment, Tang Xian was like a god of death incarnate.

Since only Taowu and the Gold-Breaking Beast could keep up with him, he didn’t bother with the two ferocious beasts.

Instead, he crazily slaughtered the monsters around him.

Qing Jiuye’s laughter turned into a wail, Gorgon’s eyes were pierced by the trident.

The silver lion’s fangs were severed by Tang Xian!

Amidst the cries of agony, the Nether Phoenix finally raised its head, eyeing Tang Xian with a complex gaze.

But the Nether Phoenix never spoke.
