Jacob loosened his grip, and Takatoshi's desiccated body plopped to the ground with a light thud.
"Woah! This feels good!" Excitement flooded Jacob at the surge of spiritual energy within him.
Even though he had absorbed Takatoshi's powers, Jacob's ability didn't advance to the next level. Jacob was satisfied with the outcome regardless since Takatoshi's current powers were a tiny fraction of what it was before.
Moreover, after advancing into the Martial Arts Saint rank, Jacob would need a substantial amount of spiritual energy and resources to boost his cultivation level further.
Hanataka stared at the desiccated corpse of Takatoshi with a gaping mouth.
He's the Deity whom the entire populace of Okinawa worships. The Deity with countless worshippers who had been revered for centuries was obliterated just like this? How is this possible?
