Swish! Swish!Swish!

Having said that, Ling Chen didn't waste any time as a small black hole appeared in his palm and numerous dark tree roots, the size of an arm, suddenly flew out from it and penetrated the chest of the Great Luo Martial God.

The speed of the dark tree was extremely fast, almost as fast as lightning. The moment they drilled into the chest of the Great Luo Martial God, they began to greedily absorb his blood and life essence like a hungry ghost.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

At this moment, the massive vitality and blood energy stemming from the Great Luo Martial God's body was being voracious swallowed by the numerous dark roots, and cascaded back into the giant Dark Godly Tree like a boundless ocean.

It was as if the Dark Godly Tree has come to life as Ling Chen could feel the joy and the happiness of every root, leaf, and branch of the Dark Godly Tree as they were greedily devouring the blood and life essence of the Great Luo Martial God.

One has to understand, the Great Luo Martial God wasn't a regular warrior. He was a 3rd Life Transition GodKing experts. As such, each drop of his blood was extremely precious and contained terrifying energy and life force.

If a regular mortal were to absorb a drop of blood from a 3rd Life Transition GodKing like the Great Luo Martial God, his whole body would have exploded from the immense energy contained within.

Even a peak Martial Saint or Demi-God expert would have a hard time just safely absorbing a drop of blood of a 3rd Life Transition Being. That was just how powerful and terrifying the power contained within was.

While the giant Dark Godly Tree was enjoying the blood and life essence of the Great Luo Martial God as though it was the best meal it ever had, Ling Chen was also having a good time.

Just feeling his power exponentially growing from every drop of blood swallowed the dark tree roots was enough to fill his heart with boundless joy.

Meanwhile, an amazing change was happening in both Ling Chen's sea of consciousness and lower dantian.

Not only the dark tree roots within his lower dantian were getting bigger, but they were also multiplying at an amazing rate.

At the same time, the giant Godly Dark Tree was growing taller and taller within Ling Chen's sea of consciousness while numerous cracks appeared on the wall or barrier that separated Ling Chen's endless white void from the dark void.

Despite this, the barrier that separated them didn't show any major sign of collapsing or breaking apart. It was simply too big and thick. One could only imagine the amount of energy needed for the barrier to collapse completely.

Even Ling Chen was eagerly anticipating that day. He genuinely wanted to know what would happen if the barrier that separated his endless dark void and white void were to break and merge.

However, he knew that it would take some time before his wish could come true as the energy needed for it to break apart or collapse was truly massive. Nevertheless, he was still looking forward to that day.

After spending about two minutes of greedily absorbing the blood life essence of the Great Luo Martial God, the Great Luo Martial God's body began to wrinkle up and soon ended up as a dry, empty husk as all of his blood was sucked dry.

"AHH!" However, before he could even the chance to enjoy and analyze his newfound power, Ling Chen suddenly cried in pain as a massive wave of pain exploded all over his body.

This pain was was not an ordinary pain, but the pain from the depths of the bone. This pain was so unbearable that Ling Chen fell on the ground with his body bent like shrimp as he was breathing in painfully.

It all happened all of a sudden. The moment he was done absorbing the blood and life essence of the Great Luo Martial God, countless dark tree roots came out from his lower dantian and began to drill into every single bone in his body.

However, this was only the beginning. As the numerous dark tree roots began to drill into his bones and bone marrows, they began to shatter one after another.

His whole body's bones shattered to the point where he couldn't even lift a finger. This was not an illusion, if one could see into his body, then one can see his bones being crushed, and were being replaced by countless dark tree roots intertwined together, forming a new set of pitch-black bone.

It was not only happening to only one part of his body but his whole skeleton. They were all being crushed and replaced by the new pitch-black bones made of dark tree roots.

One could only imagine the pain Ling Chen was going through. A single touch around one's bone marrow and bone marrow nerve could bring great harm, let alone having them being drilled by numerous sharp and strong object.

It was simply excruciating, worse than any torture. It was so dreadful and painful that one would find death a blessing.

"AHH!

Despite Ling Chen's strong Will, he was unable to bear the excruciating pain as he cried out and howled in pain.

He felt as if he was being stabbed by tens of thousands of blades. Immense agony fiercely beamed from every single corner of his body and made him let out a painful whine.

His entire body started to shake tremendously, as his vision also became blurry.

This was simply too cruel!

However, no matter how hard he cried out, the pain didn't stop. In his body, not a single bone wasn't shattered.

Even for others, even if their strength were a hundred times higher than his, they would have probably fainted by now. However, he was still awake as he was enduring this excruciating pain.

The pain seemed to have amplified a thousandfold as his finger bones and cranium were being replaced. It was simply indescribable.

It was a pain that no real word could express, a pain that far surpassed a human's capability to endure. This pain continued and continued….

It made all the nerves in Ling Chen's body fiercely spasm, but in his heart was a haze of tranquility…. or even, excitement!

And the main reason for that was because he knew that he was finally undergoing his 1st Life Transition.

Earlier, The Great Luo Martial God mistook him of undergoing his 1st Life Transition after absorbing the blood and life essence of the Old Yan and the others. However, it wasn't the case.

Despite his powerful life force and soul power, Ling Chen was still not a 1st Life Transition being as his body constitution wasn't the same as a regular human.

Ling Chen only realized that it wasn't the case after going through the Great Luo Martial God's memories. The main reason the Great Luo Martial God thought that way was because of the sudden surge of life force and power after absorbing the blood and life essence of the others.

The 1st Life Transitions wasn't the same for everyone. Sometimes it's the purification of one bloodline while other times it's the strengthening of a person's internal organs etc. However, for Ling Chen, it was bone forging, more precisely bone replacement in his case.

Twenty minutes have already gone by and the bone replacement was still not done yet. Nonetheless, Ling Chen still stayed awake while enduring the pain.

After another ten minutes, Ling Chen finally passed out as he was unable to endure the pain anymore. However, for some reason, he fainted with a slight smile on his face which was kinda weird knowing the suffering he was going through.
