It was also at this moment that Quan Yi discovered the domineering nature of the Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell, its complete recovery disregarding any external conditions.
This skill could be said to perfectly embody the tenacity of life force.
During the process of physical regeneration, even if crushed by pressure exceeding the body's limit, it would regenerate at an extremely fast speed until the regenerated part was no longer destroyed.
This feeling was like a seed pressed under cement, using its tenacious vitality to break through the hard surface.
Of course, such a domineering Soul Skill was not without its drawbacks.
That was, once the life force used to repair the body during the recovery process was exhausted, the recovery process would immediately stop.
Complete recovery in an extreme state inherently consumed more life force than in a normal state.
Failing to grasp the right measure would only needlessly add to the injuries, and might even lead to death.
Fortunately, Quan Yi's injuries at the time were only skin and flesh damage caused by the tremors, rather than flesh and blood explosions caused by external pressure and increased internal Blood Qi concentration.
Otherwise, Quan Yi might have experienced the ending of a skill interruption during his first Limit Test.
However, this discovery gave Quan Yi a different idea about the Spirit Turtle Shedding Shell.
In his eyes, this skill was no longer a simple recovery skill; in extreme environments, it also possessed the hidden function of rapidly evolving the physical body.
And this skill, after achieving complete fusion and bloodline evolution, successfully evolved into Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell.
Transformed into a Dragon Race bloodline, the domineering nature of this skill not only did not diminish, but became even stronger.
The explosion of the entire torso, which could be restored in the blink of an eye, was the best proof of this.
Moreover, most importantly, after the Soul Bone achieved complete fusion, the life energy it used to evolve the physical body could be replenished with Ultimate Wood.
This meant that even if the life force required for evolution exceeded the limit of the Soul Bone Skill, Quan Yi could continue the repair process through the replenishment of Ultimate Wood.
It was precisely because of this that Quan Yi dared to carry out the evolution and recovery of his physical body in this state.
Fortunately, the evolution and recovery targeting only the torso did not break through the limit of the Soul Bone Skill.
This meant that the Ultimate Wood that Quan Yi had condensed in his left arm in advance was not used.
However, this seemingly easy process was still full of thrills.
If Quan Yi had not grasped the timing of activating the Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell, and had not activated the Left Arm Bone before his complete death, then everything would have ended.
To ensure that nothing went wrong, Quan Yi activated the Scarlet Dragon Eye, which would both allow him to control the timing and protect his consciousness from dissipating.
However, this also allowed Quan Yi to infinitely slow down the process of approaching death.
It was not until now that Quan Yi felt that he had truly achieved empathy with Huo Wu in a real sense.
After checking the integrity of his body, Quan Yi once again mobilized the Blood Qi power of his Four Limbs and condensed it in his torso.
With the same amount of Blood Qi and the same water pressure, Quan Yi's physical body was far from reaching its limit.
"Success!
I was right, the Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell can only *display* its true effect in an extreme state.
Hard work pays off.
Having survived the crisis of death, Quan Yi gained far more than he had expected.
The overall strength of his physical body was several points stronger than before it was destroyed, and this kind of growth was countless times more efficient than the previous Dragon Scale Shock Body.
In particular, the most vulnerable part of the torso received special attention from the Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell during the reshaping process.
"Sure enough, effective body tempering cannot be separated from the assistance of life energy."
Although the fear of death had not completely dissipated, the powerful body tempering effect it brought largely dispelled the fear in his heart.
After calming down, Quan Yi quickly adjusted his state.
His body once again dived downwards.
Eighteen thousand five hundred meters.
After diving about two hundred meters, Quan Yi's body was once again on the verge of its limit.
However, this time, Quan Yi didn't continue downward.
The Ultimate Wood condensed in his left arm erupted with a verdant, life-filled aura.
The energy of the Ultimate Wood not only replenished the life energy consumed by the Left Arm Bone, but also surged into Quan Yi's torso.
The appearance of the Ultimate Wood instantly brought a cooling sensation to all the swollen and painful cells throughout his body.
All the cells on the verge of their limit were rapidly repairing their internal minor damage under the nourishment of the Ultimate Wood's life aura.
Although the Ultimate Wood didn't have a direct body recovery effect, its inherent vitality provided Quan Yi with ample nourishment, accelerating and promoting his self-healing ability.
Especially when the extent of the damage wasn't significant, the Ultimate Wood's vitality could repair it in the blink of an eye.
The repaired flesh was more resilient than before the damage, and even the same level of Blood Qi could only cause less damage to it.
Destroy, then recover.
Although it still couldn't compare to Huo Wu, nor to the domineering Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell, Quan Yi could use this method to stabilize his torso and safely improve it.
Quan Yi's body was metal, the external water pressure was the forging hammer, and the internal Blood Qi was the raging fire within the forging furnace.
With the addition of the Ultimate Wood, the extremely fragile forging material that was his body gained resilience, making the process sustainable.
Such progress was undoubtedly slow, but with ample Soul Power, he didn't want to waste time waiting for Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell to cool down.
Alternating between stimulation and gentleness, he maximized Quan Yi's body tempering effect.
With the replenishment from the Ultimate Wood, the cooldown time for Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell was only a little over twenty minutes.
And in the time of silent endurance, those short twenty-odd minutes felt exceptionally slow.
The consumption of Blood Qi every minute and every second was completely unbearable for ordinary people.
If it weren't for the constant replenishment from the Blood Qi regeneration in his Four Limbs, Quan Yi wouldn't have been able to endure this for so long.
But during the long wait, under the blessing of Blood Qi, the body organs functioning at their limit underwent a special reaction under the nourishment of the Ultimate Wood.
Quan Yi noticed the source of the mutation almost immediately.
It was the location of his Liver.
The Liver's main function is to regulate substance metabolism and detoxify poisonous substances.
Under the blessing of Blood Qi, Quan Yi's Liver was operating at its limit.
However, Quan Yi's Liver seemed to be undergoing some kind of special resonance reaction with the Ultimate Wood during this process.
The most obvious change was that the Liver's speed of repairing damage was the fastest under the influence of the Ultimate Wood.
Moreover, more importantly, the Liver operating at its limit seemed to crave more Ultimate Wood, and a pulling force that Quan Yi had never felt before emanated from the Liver.
Such a magical change made Quan Yi hesitate.
He first checked the cooldown time of Dragon Turtle Shedding Shell.
Although only twenty minutes had passed since the last skill activation, the skill cooldown was about to complete.
