The Supreme God novel Chapter 55

Sensing the unidentified object in the elixir field of his body, Austin tried to use his vital energy to expel it, though he was hesitant and afraid. If the plan backfired, his own vital energy could be damaged.

"Bzzz…"

Whatever it was, it got stimulated from the energy and purred in a low voice, slowly getting aroused.

Then suddenly, it began to absorb the vital energy from Austin's elixir field with a frantic power that he was unable to resist. It was almost as if there was a magical suction in place.

The suction grew stronger by the second as that thing kept absorbing his vital energy. In just a short while, it had completely swallowed the vital energy that Austin had feverishly, much like a whale devouring its prey.

Austin was deeply shocked and scared. He resisted as hard as he could and tried to avoid the suction with all of his willpower, but what he did was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The scariest thing was that in just a moment, Austin had found that all of his vital energy had been sucked out of him by that thing in side of him. Now, that thing looked strange, with no definite shape, and glowing with a bright light.

Austin regretted wasting his vital energy in his desperation and felt like crying.

He blamed himself deeply for having bothered that damn thing with his vital energy. It was a risk and it hadn't paid off.

It had taken him great efforts to get back to the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. But now, all of his vital energy had been snatched from him in one sudden moment. Did he have to start over again?

The very thought of this was unimaginable and Austin could not help feeling a little desperate.

"No! I am never going to give in. I am going to get rid of this thing."

Without a second's delay or hesitation, he took out an earth spirit fruit, thrust it into his mouth and swallowed frantically.

Just as the fruit went down his throat, it released a large amount of vital energy into his veins, energizing him, albeit for an instant.

The object in his elixir field immediately sensed the vital energy and it created another strong suction.

In an instant, the vital energy of the earth spirit fruit was forced towards the elixir field and absorbed by that strange thing once again.

Having no alternative, and getting more and more frantic by the minute, he put another earth spirit fruit into his mouth without hesitation.

But it amounted to the same thing once more. The vital energy was immediately absorbed by that damned thing.

Then he continued to take the third earth spirit fruit…

The fourth earth spirit fruit…

Then the next one. He had already taken five.

Then the sixth earth spirit fruit…

Finally, when he had stuffed the seventh earth spirit fruit down his throat, the released vital energy poured into his veins, gurgled around and finally fell into the elixir field where it stayed this time and was not absorbed by the thing.

Not until then did he recover and regain his strength. The sudden scare had almost made him breathless and it took a few seconds for his breathing to go back to normal.

Austin heaved a long sigh of relief when he felt re-energized once more. Thankfully, he didn't have to start all over again.

Using his inward vision, he chanced a glance at that thing with fear as if it were something horrible. He was afraid to provoke it again.

What the hell was inside his body and why was it eating vital energy! Was it a parasite?

If he did not drive it out of his body here and now, then what if some accident happened in the future? That thing would eat all of his energy and not let him recover.

The whole affair was much like a bomb had been buried in his body. No one knew when it would suddenly explode. So right now, the biggest problem was, how could he get it out of his body? Austin was at a loss. He really wanted to cry at that moment.

"Haha! Providence willed it that I should escape death. I really have the luck of the devil."

Suddenly, a peal of laughter rang out from inside Austin's body. The laughter was full of excitement and the tone with which it was uttered expelled a sense of arrogance.

"Who are you? How did you get inside of me?"

Austin asked, turning pale with fear.

Looking inside of himself with his spiritual sense, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the glistening white mass in his elixir field. What was it? Was it a bird? Was it an insect?

No wait! When he looked closely, it turned out to be just a little monkey, only about the size of a walnut. Yet Austin was scared anyway because it had still eaten all his vital energy.

Although the monkey was small in size, the red aura that he gave off made him look extremely powerful.
