Mist constantly rose from Wan Long's body and he went from looking like a strong ,robust, young adult, to looking like a beggar on the streets who had not eaten for many days. His eyes were sunken in and strained, his blood vessels were shown extremely clearly through his dried up skin.
If one were to witness what was happening to Wan Long at this moment, they would only be able to describe it in one word, horrifying. It was as if Wan Long had aged extremely quickly, and become an old man who was at the end of his lifespan. This was all caused by the Mortal Asura Ice Source as it constantly drained Wan Long of his vitality and martial energy, trying to awaken itself as a sentient creature.
When a Martial Sources absorbs enough martial energy and vitality, it will gain a consciousness and evolve into an Elemental Spirit that can either fight together with another person, or take control of an object, giving itself a proper physical form. When an Elemental Spirit obtains a physical form, it will be immortal until its martial energy dissipates through the course of a few million years. However, the Martial Sources that can evolve into Elemental Spirits are mostly those of high grade and above, as the requirements needed to evolve are extremely high.
This was what the Mortal Asura Ice Source was trying to accomplish. By slowing absorbing Wan Long's vitality and martial energy and eventually absorbing other unlucky victims' energy, it can make its way to evolving into a Mortal Asura Ice Elemental.
However, how could Wan Long allow himself to be absorbed by a mere Martial Source? He was Wan Long, successor of Long Er Du and he had the potential to reach the greatest heights in the universe. A Martial Source that wanted to absorb him? Pa. Even if the nine heavens wanted to kill him, he would resist with all his might and kill his way to victory.
In his consciousness, Wan Long tried his hardest to wake his body up and regain control. While he was struggling, the Mortal Ausra Ice Source had already begun drilling into his dantian and his mind, trying to steal everything that Wan long possessed in his body.
No matter how much he struggled, Wan Long could not feel his strength come back at all and could only helplessly watch as the energy slowly drilled into his dantian and eventually, break into it.
When the martial energy broke into Wan Long's dantian, something strange happened. A suction force came from the inside of Wan Long's dantian, and sucked up all the bits of energy that the Mortal Asura Ice Source released to absorb Wan Long's vitality. The energy disappeared at an insane rate and within 1 second, there was no trace of martial energy remaining.
The Mortal Asura Ice Source discovered that its own energy had been devoured and was sent into a panic. It retracted its power and sealed itself in the core of the block of ice.
With the Mortal Asura Ice Source not attacking him anymore, Wan Long could relax and refine the energy that he obtained from it.
