Regardless of type, living or not, as long as it had spirituality, it had abilities.
Like the gold elemental for instance. It had a hard body, but a lame ability, an inferior earth escaping art. It had to not move for a good ten seconds to use it and, once underground, it could not even travel through the earth.
While despite belonging to the same race, of golems, the humongous golem and the gold elemental had a completely different ability.
The humongous golem’s ability was earth absorption. It could absorb earth essence to become stronger.
The humongous golem also didn’t waste a drop of essence when devouring the gold elemental, turning everything into its power.
Having a body as large as those true giants of old, and a hard shell just like gold elementals, this big guy’s evolution was superb.
If it were to be assessed by the universe’s standard, it would be no less than a sixth level power.
Higher than Domon by a level.
Such a gap was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth, quite appropriate in this particular case. There was no comparison between the two levels. A sixth level could slap a fifth level into dust.
Boom!
Boom!
The humongous golem was nearing the Stellar Orientation Array.
Li Mo used Warp and flashed in front of it.
“Earth Fist – first move!”
Li Mo entered his stance as all spiritual qi rushed into him.
Boom!
Boom!
The golem sensed the change and quickened its pace towards Li Mo.
A hundred meters, a thousand, two thousand, three thousand meters!
When Li’s absorption range reached three thousand meters, his skin cracked and blood flowed. This was the limit for his body. Suppose he continued, but he’d pop like a balloon in that case.
Heaven and Earth Boxing was humanity’s almighty martial art. Unlike all others out there, this art didn’t rely on one’s cultivation to use it. As long as one had a tough body, he could display the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth Boxing.
Then again, possessing a tough body as the ancient sacred beasts comparable to 7th and 8th levels, was a whole lot easier said than done. Not to mention that among the ones in the 7th and 8th levels, the ones who had such a body could be counted on one hand.
Li Mo’s body was a way away from being at the ancient sacred beast level. This limited his range to three thousand meters.
‘Not enough.’
Li Mo used his idle hand into sticking a Diamond Talisman on him.
Hum~
His body was covered in a golden glow, increasing its toughness.
When he reached the three thousand and two hundred meters mark, his body started cracking again.
Boom!
Boom!
The humongous golem was now running, not five kilometers from Li Mo. It would only need a few seconds to reach him with its speed.
‘Still not enough.’
Li Mo roared and unleashed the Blood Boil Technique. He expended half of his vitality to increase the range to four thousand meters.
Thick spiritual qi roamed around Li Mo’s fist, picking up dust and sending gales all around.
Boom!
Boom!
The humongous golem reached Li Mo and smashed with both hands.
It was no different than having a meteor fall on you.
Li Mo jumped high up and punched with his all!
The wind stopped and the humongous golem now sported an extra-large hole in its chest, its arms frozen in place.
Boom!
A large golden demon core the size of a hill dropped. Li Mo aimed precisely for its location to remove the source of the golem’s power. Attacking anywhere else would’ve harmed it all the same, but it wouldn’t have been final.
Li Mo fell motionless to the ground and covered in blood.
Boom~
The humongous golem collapsed.
‘Godamn it!’
Li Mo ascertained the demon core’s position with the Celestial Eye and prevailed. But he forgot about one thing, the insane bulk of the golem barreling down on him.
Li Mo gnashed his teeth as he tried twice to even twitch, but nothing worked.
Boom~
As the humongous golem broke down, rocks the size of a house came crashing down on Li Mo.
‘If only my body was undamaged, I could still take it.’
Li Mo closed his eyes.
“Roar~”
Li Mo had no choice but to take the brunt with his wrecked body. But then he heard a roar, followed by Wei Jianguo throwing himself over Li Mo.
Boom~
A rain of rocks fell over Li Mo and the panda, burying them.
After an hour, a sound was heard and Li Mo came out of the debris.
Using a minor Earth Fist to shake away the rubble was nothing to the current Li Mo.
The panda had long been knocked out, covered in wounds from head to toe.
“Good chap.” Li Mo smiled at the unconscious panda.
Without the panda, the collapse of the humongous golem would’ve rendered him in an even worse state, if not outright kill him. But never once did he took the panda into account.
Li Mo dragged his body over to the large demon core and used the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art to extract its essence. Soon, he found himself holding a shining golden core the size of a chicken egg.
When the small demon core was fully formed, the huge core lost its luster and broke down to pieces.
There was no difference in the amount of demon qi between the humongous golem’s demon core contained compared with nine-tailed fox’s, despite their size. In the humongous golem’s case, its demon qi was just spread thin, taking on such a form.
Li Mo put half of the demon core in the panda’s mouth while he refined the other half.
Hum~
Li Mo’s body began to shine faintly golden.
After a full day, Li Mo stood up and the glow receded within him.
The demon core of this time didn’t raise his spiritual qi, but his body strength.
“Wu~”
Soon, the panda opened its eyes. It saw Li Mo and its mouth broke out in a smile.
“Panda, give it a try. See how much of the humongous golem’s power you got.”
“Ah…”
The panda was shocked, then opened its maw a few times, immensely grateful towards Li.
It searched left and right, then cried when it held the ruined tablet.
It couldn’t speak and its only means of communication with Li Mo was now gone.
“You ate half of the stone golem’s demon core. Your demon qi must’ve increased a lot as well. What do you say about me teaching you the most basic talisman drawing art? This will help with your communication as well.”
Li Mo moved his hand and an OK was drawn in mid-air.
