249. Energy Flower

249. Energy Flower

Elder Ouyang opened his eyes and instantly fixed his gaze on Lin Fei inside the Gravity Tower, who was step by step heading towards the ninth floor.

"Elder Ouyang, you..." Watching Elder Ouyang remain indifferent, the other martial saint elders grew increasingly anxious.

With a calm demeanor, Elder Ouyang shook his head and declared, "Elder Lin possesses the Qi Flower. Even the gravitational force of the ninth floor will not crush him. Elder Lin might not employ his true essence if I am not mistaken. He seeks to temper his physical body."

Hearing Elder Ouyang's words, everyone was taken aback. To refine one's body, did one need to brave the ninth floor? Besides, which Martial Saint without an Energy Flower could withstand the ninth floor's gravitational force with just their body? However, since Elder Ouyang assured them that Lin Fei would be fine, their worries abated, and their attention turned once more to the Gravity Tower, curious about Lin Fei's intentions.

Step by step, Lin Fei finally reached the ninth floor.

Boom.

Upon setting foot on the ninth floor, Lin Fei felt an immense shock enveloping his being. A terrifying, unparalleled gravitational force instantly acted upon him. Even the Blood Essence within him initially struggled to resist, being suppressed relentlessly. Lin Fei's body began to hunch over as if he couldn't stand upright. However, he forcefully resisted the urge to let saber essence cover his body. On the contrary, a trace of excitement emerged in his heart.

"Yes, this is the pressure I sought!"

The Blood Essence within Lin Fei was being continuously compressed.

Boom.

In the next moment, Lin Fei's Blood Essence surged, and a burst of blood energy emanated from him. Slowly, almost miraculously, Lin Fei's stature began straightening. This sight astounded everyone outside the Gravity Tower.

"Elder Lin hasn't even activated his true essence for protection?"

"This is the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower! How is Elder Lin resisting its force?"

"Incredible, truly inconceivable."

"Wasn't it said that without the Energy Flower, one simply couldn't bear the gravitational force of the ninth floor?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be blood energy, right?"

"Blood energy! Even a Martial Saint with an Energy Flower might not be able to harness such blood energy."

Many were silent. After a while, a disciple with a complicated expression looked at Lin Fei on the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower and bitterly commented, "Elder Lin was able to condense the Qi Flower so quickly. Now his physical body has reached such a terrifying level. The chances of him condensing the Energy Flower are high."

"There is absolutely no fluke here. Who can surpass such a determined will?"

Many martial artists remained silent. Indeed, they couldn't match Lin Fei's willpower. While others viewed the Gravity Tower with trepidation, Lin Fei saw it as an excellent place for cultivation. If such a person doesn't reach the pinnacle of martial arts, then who else is worthy?

Lin Fei was unaware of the discussions outside. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At the moment, he was wholly engrossed in refining the flesh of the century Flood Dragon. Inside him, the blood essence was slowly but steadily increasing. The growth was slow, But it was gradually reaching its limits.

An hour, two hours, three hours...

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei opened his eyes. He surprisingly found that no matter how much the Flood Dragon flesh he consumed, his blood essence couldn't increase anymore. Furthermore, upon sensing the blood essence within, he finally felt a sense of "completeness". His blood essence had truly reached its limit!

"Now that my blood essence has reached its limit, there's nothing to hesitate about. I'll condense the Energy Flower right here..."

With a thought, Lin Fei immediately mobilized the blood essence within his body.

"Boom."

The next moment, Lin Fei's internal blood qi surged again. Simultaneously, a vast amount of blood essence erupted like a volcanic explosion, raging and torrential.

Following the methods detailed in Blood Essence Nine Transformations, Lin Fei meticulously began the process of condensing the Energy Flower.

"Energy Flower, condense!"

With a low shout from Lin Fei, streams of bloody luminescence above his head began converging together. Ultimately, it faintly took the shape of a blood-colored flower.

At this juncture, the blood essence within Lin Fei roared anew. The external blood energy skyrocketed, covering the entirety of the ninth level of the Gravity Tower in an instant!

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei abruptly raised his head. The entire ninth level was engulfed in the tumultuous surge of blood energy. The Energy Flower was formed!
