High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

Ying Tianxing kept stroking the Madman Armor on his body, his eyes practically glazing with desire.

For the Heavenly Warriors, minor injuries like severed heads or feet are completely insignificant; they can be healed simply by consuming a small amount of their life essence.

These external injuries cannot cause fatal damage to Tianwu, nor can they even reduce their health points.

What's truly deadly is the annihilation of 'inner life,' something these Heavenly Warriors desperately try to avoid.

Inner life, to put it bluntly, is the upper limit of life. Once the upper limit of life is reduced to its limit, even gods will perish.

The Berserker Armor can restore any wearer's health from the root, and can also restore maximum health at an extremely slow rate.

Ying Tianxing carefully sensed the recovery speed of his inner life force; it could restore about half a year's lifespan per minute.

This recovery is not unlimited; once the maximum health is restored to its original level, the recovery will stop abruptly.

The Berserker Armor can only restore health, not increase maximum health.

"Young man, lend me this treasure before you leave. I'll return it to you when you're done."

This is also a new capability brought about by the materialization of equipment.

Ying Tianxing's expression was very serious. From his perspective, Chen Mo's willingness to take out such a treasure as the Madman Armor was a sign of his utmost trust in him.

He will never betray this trust!

"Of course, I'll use it to treat those masters whose qi and blood are blocked and whose master essence is blocked."

Chen Mo didn't see anything wrong with it and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Xiao Song, how much longer will it take you to recover?"

Ying Tianxing's lifespan has stopped declining, and his strength has completely returned to its peak.

"At most half a day. I wasn't seriously injured in the battle just now; I only consumed some of my life essence."

Song Bin didn't need the Madman Armor to heal his injuries; the battle between Earth Martial Artists didn't significantly reduce his maximum lifespan.

"We'll set off in 24 hours to help Chen obtain the heart of the Abyss Mother Tree and the essence of life."

Ying Tianxing nodded and immediately made the arrangements for the next step.

"it is good."

Song Bin readily agreed and closed his eyes to begin absorbing the energy around him.

Once a martial artist opens their life gate, there is not much difference between abyssal energy and blood qi.

Chen Mo's dual systems only doubled his battery life and incidentally allowed him to find his three gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man ahead of time.

"Dean Ying."

Seeing that Song Bin had entered a meditative state, Chen Mo walked to Ying Tianxing's side and asked him in a low voice.

"Have you ever seen a couple surnamed Ma and Wang who fell from the abyss of Xishan Province more than ten years ago?"

Chen Mo was still worried about Ma Wanglin's parents. It would be best if he could find them, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.

"this......"

Beings of Ying Tianxing's caliber generally wouldn't concern themselves with such trivial matters, but he still recalled the survivors who had fallen from the Road of No Return into the mid-level abyss over the years.

"I don't know. I'll ask those old fogies in Zhenyuan Division when I have the chance."

"Speaking of which, you've become a grandmaster at such a young age, haven't you left yourself any descendants?"

"this......"

Now it was Chen Mo's turn to be speechless. He wasn't even nineteen yet; his birthday hadn't even passed this year.

Isn't it too early to talk about leaving an heir now?

"Never mind, judging from your expression, you didn't keep it."

Ying Tianxing sighed with some regret and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.

"Kid, you're basically doomed to have no offspring."

"..." Chen Mo's face darkened. His second brother was unparalleled in the world, yet these words made it sound as if he himself had become weak.

"Grandmasters almost never have offspring unless they marry another grandmaster."

"I wouldn't be worried if it were just an ordinary grandmaster, but your rate of progress..."

Ying Tianxing didn't know how to comfort Chen Mo, but he didn't know that Chen Mo had no intention of having any children.

He won't die, so what's the point of leaving him behind?

Are you trying to cause trouble for yourself?

"Unless my sister is willing to bear you a child, you will be the only heir in your Chen family."

Ying Tianxing considered the possibility of Ji Wuxin becoming Chen Mo's wife, but ultimately shook his head and rejected the idea.

My younger sister looks gentle and kind, but she's actually more fierce than anyone else.

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

Chen Mo didn't know why the topic had veered to the point of betrothing Ji Wuxin, one of the three elders, to him, so he quickly cut off the conversation.

"Let's discuss how to connect to the Abyss Mother Tree."

"That's fine then, I won't worry about it."

Ying Tianxing smiled, realizing that Chen Mo wasn't interested in the topic.

Seeing that Ying Tianxing was no longer continuing the awkward topic, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and opened the storage space.

Before facing the Mother Tree of the Abyss, he needs to repair his Yang Chakra.

The life essence I obtained during my trip to the Tomb of the Gods came in very handy.

A pure black halo appeared behind Chen Mo, frantically devouring the life essence within the storage space.

Chen Mo's current storage space is a full 8m³, filled with the essence of life.

In fact, the life essence sprayed out after the gates guarding the mission exploded had already filled the storage space.

Most of it is wasted, after all, the storage space is only so big.

Those few pieces of pure cotton clothing, soaked in the essence of life, exuded a rich life force; they would certainly be considered rare treasures on Earth.

As more and more life essence is devoured by the Yin Chakra, specks of golden light appear on the Yin Chakra.

The repair process is not slow; at the current rate of infusion, the Yang Chakra can be fully restored in a maximum of five hours.

Ying Tianxing watched silently as Chen Mo repaired the Yang Wheel, pondering how to obtain the heart and life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree at the lowest possible cost.

As a powerful expert of the Heavenly Martial Realm, he naturally knew that the life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree was different from theirs.

Although they share the same name, the purity of life they embody is vastly different.

The life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree is extremely pure, and anyone can easily absorb it.

These Heavenly Martial experts are different; without their permission, anyone who absorbs their life essence will be doomed to explode.

...

At the same time, the atmosphere inside the Ten Kings Hall was not so relaxed.

At least half of Riki's body was twisted and deformed, and even after consuming a large amount of his life essence, he could not recover quickly.

"What kind of power is this that could possibly damage your divinity...?"

The Mechanical King examined the Power King's body and, incidentally, helped him restore his twisted body to its original shape.
