Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 398 Absorbing a Devil Fruit, Becoming a Demon

In this situation, he would definitely prioritize strengthening the external soul bone, and only consider the normal soul bone after he could no longer improve the strength of the external soul bone.

After returning, it took Shi Yu a full month to recover from the various effects of her previous time travel.

With his injuries healed and his exhausted mind restored, the broken Eight Spider Lances and Dark Gold Terror Claws were completely restored. He had now returned to his peak condition, even surpassing his previous state.

After the external soul bone is damaged and restored, there will be a small improvement. What's more, he also incorporated soul bone powder to strengthen the soul bone.

The improvement in the quality of his soul bone brought him some increase in strength.

On Saturday of that week, Shi Yu and Elder Xuan informed each other and immediately began their journey, arriving at a deserted island.

With a flick of his wrist, the Devil Fruit he had obtained in the Demon Dimension appeared in his palm.

The fruit, with its ugly appearance and dark, violent aura, piqued his interest.

I don't know what changes swallowing it will bring to me.

It is said that it can grant one demonic power, potentially leading to an improvement in physical strength.

With anticipation, Shi Yu quickly swallowed the fruit, but the taste made him frown. It was awful, not just ordinary awful.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, I ate the entire fruit.

Soon, Shi Yu felt some changes in his body, with violent and fierce energy raging within him.

Shi Yu's face showed pain. The energy brought by this Devil Fruit was much more domineering than the power his body had endured when absorbing a Soul Ring.

He gritted his teeth and endured, using all his strength to guide these energies and make them controllable.

This energy continuously flowed into his body and flesh, giving him the sensation that his flesh and blood were being torn apart by countless insects, a feeling that was extremely uncomfortable.

Several hours later, Shi Yu's expression became even more painful, and his consciousness became blurred from the pain.

The power contained in this Devil Fruit was beyond his imagination. Several hours had passed, and the power wreaking havoc in his body had only increased, as if its true power was only beginning to take effect.

Shi Yu could only try her best to endure it and stay awake; she absolutely couldn't faint.

Ten hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Yu's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Energy was constantly leaking out of his body, tearing his clothes to shreds.

Many dark red lines appeared on the surface of his flesh, resembling blood vessels.
But these blood vessels are clearly abnormal; they don't resemble the normal blood vessels that humans can have.

His skin was also changing, becoming thicker and coarser, and its color was changing, giving the feeling that his body was gradually being fitted with an inner armor that fit snugly against his skin.

Twenty hours later, Shi Yu was swaying unsteadily, and his consciousness was fading.

Right now, it's his will to survive that's keeping him going; he absolutely can't collapse, otherwise he might never wake up again.

He severely underestimated the power of Devil Fruits; they were good things, causing tremendous changes to his body.

However, this is also somewhat dangerous, as it brings life-threatening risks while transforming his body.

It's like performing surgery; the intention is definitely to save lives, but it also comes with some risks, which could be fatal.

Thirty hours later, Shi Yu's body had changed significantly, and even acquaintances might not recognize him.

His clothes were completely torn, and his original healthy skin had disappeared, leaving only a thick, dark red stratum corneum, which looked like a thin suit of armor tightly attached to Shi Yu's skin.

It was still completely covered, even Shi Yu's face had this metallic-looking stratum corneum.

In some places, there are sharp blades and barbs, making it look more like a weapon.

Shi Yu seemed to have transformed into a demon; his mere presence exuded an oppressive aura. More than ten hours passed before Shi Yu opened his eyes, utterly exhausted.

Looking at the changes in his body, Shi Yu still managed a slight smile on his tired face.

Although it was painful, I managed to get through it.

He struggled to get up and tried to move around, but his body didn't feel like his own.

Physical attributes such as jumping ability, speed, strength, and resistance to impact are all significantly improved.

The demon's body made him look like he was wearing a high-level battle armor.

It not only greatly enhances his physical attributes, but also allows him to enter a berserk state, further improving all of his physical attributes.

"One Devil Fruit directly doubled my physical combat ability, or even more."

Shi Yu had a general understanding of the changes she had undergone, and she couldn't contain her joy.

Most importantly, this change in myself is similar to an external soul bone, which can improve as I improve.

The demon armor on his body can be upgraded as he improves, and it will never become outdated.

This is part of my body, and it appears when I need to use demonic power.

After fumbling around for a while, Shi Yu finally figured out how to put away the demon armor.

His body returned to normal, and the powerful strength receded like a tide. Overwhelmed by fatigue, he collapsed to the ground.

Shi Yu took out some food he carried with him and ate it to replenish his strength.

"Let's wait until we recover before absorbing the seventh spirit ring. In our current state, we can't withstand spirit rings with too high an age limit."

Shi Yu was planning in his mind that absorbing the Devil Fruit would also increase his soul power, and now his soul power cultivation had reached level seventy.

He only needs to absorb one more soul ring to become a Soul Saint.

The seventh spirit ring cannot be taken lightly; one needs to adjust their condition before considering absorbing and adding the seventh spirit ring.

After catching their breath, they set off to return to Mingdu.

"Why do you look so tired, like your body has been completely drained?"

As soon as Shi Yu returned to the hotel, he saw Ju Zi lingering outside his room.

Seeing his weak state, Ju Zi quickly ran over to support him and asked him with concern.

"It's just a minor mishap in my cultivation, nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Shi Yu said casually, implying that he was still a little weak.

Before Orange could ask any further questions, he took the initiative to ask, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't it be class time now?"

"You still know it's class time?" The answer didn't come from the orange, but from behind.

Shi Yu looked over and saw Jing Hongchen, with Elder Xuan and several others walking with him.

Seeing that Shi Yu's expression was not good, Elder Xuan and the others frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Elder Xuan quickly came over and asked with concern.

Jing Hongchen also tensed up, hoping it wasn't caused by an attack or something.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire didn't do it, it would still be difficult for them to explain themselves.
