The Master of Beasts-Chapter 779 - 246

Ku Tou is truly at the end of his life span.

The fire of life in a young person, when not faced with major upheavals, burns fiercely, like a little sun that never extinguishes.

And Ku Tou, his fire of life is akin to a little candle flame, nearly extinguished. If not for his robust foundation, he might have died of old age already.

"In your youth, compared to Ku Ruo now, who is stronger?"

After checking Ku Tou's physical condition, Chen Jiuge asked with some curiosity.

Seemingly not expecting Chen Jiuge to question this, Ku Tou hesitated for a moment and said, "You may not believe it, but Ku Ruo wasn't my match when I was young."

"Akam, your father Asaka should know me, we fought back in the day, and the scar on his forehead was left by me. Of course, he also left a scar on my chest."

"You're the one who injured my father!" Akam exclaimed in disbelief.

Akam's strength is actually much inferior to his father Asaka. If Akam can only be counted as a half-step Daluo, then Asaka might be a true Daluo.

This means that Ku Tou, who fought on par with Asaka, is also a Daluo!

Thinking of this, Chen Jiuge's expression changed. If he succeeded in extending Ku Tou's life, wouldn't that mean he had an additional Daluo at his command?

Though contracts are not very binding for Daluos, Chen Jiuge believed that with his means, subduing an unsophisticated native shouldn't be a problem.

"Let's try this first!"

Chen Jiuge took out a white fruit about the size of a dragon eye. This was a Yuan Yuan Fruit. Though the name is unappealing and the look ordinary, it is one of the most common life-extending spirit fruits in the True Realm.

"Gulp"

"Delicious, very sweet!" Ku Tou said, licking his lips.

Upon examining Ku Tou's body again, Chen Jiuge found that the fire of life within him hadn't increased—or rather, it had, but just barely. So slightly that it equated to only a hair's width, increasing his life span by about one day?

"A Yuan Yuan Fruit that can increase life span by a hundred years can only extend for one day—is it because of the heaven and earth laws of this place?"

But that doesn't matter. As long as it can extend life, the rest is irrelevant. With Chen Jiuge's Chaos World supported by the Chaos Pearl, he has an unlimited supply of this most common of life-extending spirit fruits!

"Clatter!"

"Finish these!"

"Ah, all for me to eat?" Ku Tou was momentarily stunned, wasn't this wasteful?

But why worry? The new leader wasn't concerned about the cost; why should an old man at death's door care? Eating is all that matters.

He couldn't have expected to eat so many good things before dying. It's truly poignant!

"Crunch"

As the number of Yuan Yuan Fruits consumed increased, Ku Tou's body underwent a tremendous transformation!

One Yuan Yuan Fruit could extend life by a day; over three hundred for a year. But what Chen Jiuge brought out was far more than three hundred, at least twenty thousand in total!

This means that after eating the entire basket, Ku Tou extended his life by at least sixty years!

At an unknown time, Ku Tou, who had been sitting and eating, reached out only to find nothing left in front of him.

"Gone?"

"Wait, my body!"

Ku Tou rose in disbelief. Originally, his arms were covered in age spots, but now they had disappeared, and his withered skin showed a hint of ruddy color again.

An additional sixty years of life span not only made him appear younger but most importantly brought a resurgence of strength!

"Though only a fraction is restored, it's enough!"

"I've returned!" Ku Zhu humorously appeared inappropriately.

"Eh, who is this old man, where's the old man Ku Zhu?"

"Hehehe, guess who I am!"

"Smack"

A heavy slap landed on Ku Zhu's head, forcing him to the ground straight away.

"Boy, you are my grandson. I'm your grandfather; show some respect!"

"Ora ora ora"

The continuous barrage of punches fell like raindrops, eliciting cries from Ku Zhu.

As for these little farces, Chen Jiuge didn't think much of them. The changes occurring within Ku Tou were what's truly significant.

"An extension of sixty years, yet only less than thirty percent of strength is restored. This is strange."

For outside cultivators, only when their life span is nearly exhausted do they lose combat power, but this does not mean they can't unleash peak power—even though it would accelerate life span loss, as was the case with Feng Cang before.

Furthermore, as for the life-extending effect of the Yuan Yuan Fruit, in the outside world, the avenue of life extension has just formed, and the limitations on life extension aren't great. But still, the most common life-extending spirit fruits like the Yuan Yuan Fruit can't normally be taken continuously without a decrease in efficacy!

"Interesting, this world is truly intriguing. But is it really an area self-developed by the True Realm? It doesn't feel like it."

Though the Golden Desert has many differences and the Golden Clan specializing in curses, they at least largely adhere to the laws of the True Realm, unlike here, making one wonder if this area was truly a self-expansion of the True Realm.

"Alright, enough reflection for now; we're not done yet!"

Before the experiment, Ku Tou had already taken a Heavenly Dao Oath. Now that Ku Tou had regained a lot of cultivation strength, Chen Jiuge found that the oath was just as secure, even more so than when Ku Tou had yet to recover!
