Chapter 274: Master Combat Power, Evil Dragon Sch Jing, Tranquil Abyss Eye

"ROAR!!!”

The true dragon's mournful cry reverberated, shaking the heavens and the earth, and powerful sound waves distorted the surrounding air, creating ripples and waves.

Sch Jing saw this from below, and although he was still about twenty seconds away from hearing it, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Stop that."

With a thought, his spiritual aura attached to the shadow flame and, through Transcendence, transferred to the Nightfall Blade high up in the sky, ten thousand meters above. Black lightning, like a rift in the void, appeared around the Nightfall Blade.

As if held by an invisible swordsman, the tip of the Nightfall Blade lifted slightly, tilting upwards, paused briefly, and then slashed out with a mighty swing!

Soul Flight!

A lightning-fast horizontal slash from left to right, leaving behind a trail of black lightning in the void. From a distance, it looked as if space itself had been cleaved in two, creating a pitch-black fissure.

This slash struck the true dragon's wide-open mouth, which had been opened due to its mournful cry, slicing through its throat and nearly severing half of its head. The dragon's roar abruptly ceased.

The intense mental damage from Soul Flight invaded its brain, causing its eyes to roll up, and it nearly fainted.

...

Taking advantage of the Transcendence's remote advantage and the Nightfall Blade's indestructible nature, Sch Jing tormented and bullied the true dragon until it was in a state of helpless rage. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed it, allowing it to dissipate and find relief.

Since he had not fought this true dragon cub at its peak, the simulation depicted a true dragon severely weakened by the Serpent Slayer Blade.

For Sch Jing at this point, such an opponent was far too weak and could only serve as a sparring partner.

"That should do it."

Sch Jing nodded.

After several hours of specific testing, he gained a clear understanding and grasp of his overall combat power.

With the upgrades to True Martial and Army Lord, his martial prowess had significantly improved once more.

This improvement was evident in the Great Ascension Flying Saber, as Sch Jing could now effortlessly control three flying sabers simultaneously to unleash martial killing moves, whereas before, he could only manage two.

If he activated Twinbirth, combined with 'Double Calculative Power' and 'Double Concentration', and further enhanced by 'Double Flexibility' to generate twice the force, he could control six flying sabers.

This was essentially equivalent to having six Sch Jings attacking simultaneously...

The only issue was that there were currently no six weapons that could withstand the full force of his power... And as his strength continued to grow, the number of Great Ascension Flying Sabers he could control simultaneously would increase, widening this gap.

Consequently, limited by external factors, he couldn't fully demonstrate his remote combat capabilities through Transcendence.

However, this was a minor problem, and he could easily resolve it by acquiring more divine weapons in the future.

Alternatively, he could simply upgrade Army Lord and use any random sticks he found on the ground. With Armed Reinforcement, even ordinary branches would suffice.

Regarding Seamless Heaven, due to the upgrades in True Martial and Army Lord, Sch Jing's realm had also elevated. Currently, without using Twinbirth, he could consecutively weave 179 spears at his limit! If he activated Twinbirth and utilized Calculative Power and Concentration, he could reach the realm of 200 spears.

Each additional spear in Seamless Heaven became increasingly challenging, requiring a significant surge in calculative power. Although it seemed like only 21 more spears, the computational difficulty had nearly doubled.

Even if Zhou Yinglin were to attempt this, even with his computational ability and force control tripled, causing his brain to overheat and smoke, he still wouldn't be able to weave 200 spears.

Even with just this spear technique alone, without employing any other means, Sch Jing could now pose a threat to a limit-breaking master... Probably.

This was his own speculation, as his understanding of limit-breaking masters was limited to competition footage. He had never faced a true limit-breaking master and wasn't aware of the specific distribution of their strengths.

It was said that these limit-breakers who had surpassed the dragon gate had vast differences in strength, despite theoretically being at the same realm, due to variations in their cultivation techniques, physiques, and other factors.

Sometimes, the gap between a limit-breaker and a non-limit-breaker could be even greater than the gap between a limit-breaker and an ordinary person.

In any case, based on the performance in the competition footage, Sch Jing believed that with his current martial combat power and the boost from Twinbirth, he should have no problem dealing with limit-breaking masters of 'average' strength.

"I wonder what level I'll reach if I become a limit-breaker myself..."

He thought to himself.

"Speaking of which, there's also the concept of 'Ultimate Limit-Breaking'. I should ask Youqing for more details when I return to Qing City."

With a thought, Sch Jing exited the simulation space, and his consciousness returned to his body.

...

Two days later.

Zhi Ge Base, Landing Field.

The Dragon Core Fighter descended vertically in the air, its sleek black body exuding a high-tech aura that was a feast for the eyes, especially for men.

Base Commander Xu Hongzhong sighed, "New talents emerge with each generation. Sch Jing, seeing you makes me feel that my era is fading away, and yours is about to arrive."

"And the speed of its arrival... may be even faster than anyone imagines."

Sch Jing had Catcat perched on his shoulder, and behind him stood Yun Qin in a classic black and white maid outfit.

He smiled and said, "You flatter me, Commander Xu."

Xu Hongzhong waved his hand and joked, "Why be modest? You're fearless in front of the cameras, but now you're being shy? Where's the man who boldly declared he'd achieve the Eternal Seven Crowns within six years?"

Ning Yuan Tai, standing nearby, protested, "Hey, old Xu, what do you mean by 'bold declaration'? Sch Jing has never been boastful! He only speaks the truth, and he always delivers on his words. It's just that ignorant mortals misinterpret him."

He shouted.

Xu Hongzhong laughed, "Indeed, Ning has a point. I spoke out of turn."

Ning Yuan Tai, displeased, said, "I told you not to call me Ning. I've always relied on myself..."

As they chatted, the plane landed.

Sch Jing thanked Xu Hongzhong for letting him stay at Zhi Ge Base for so long and apologized for the damage caused by his intense martial training. Xu Hongzhong patted his chest, assuring him that it was no problem and welcoming him to return anytime.

The group boarded the aircraft, and the Dragon Core Fighter took off, soaring towards the outer ring of the city. As the plane pierced through the pale blue light membrane that enveloped Yuan City, thousands of kilometers away in a desolate wilderness, a masked woman with half her face covered by a black steel mask opened her eyes, revealing her eerie, goat-like, horizontally-slitted pupils.

She reached up to her left ear, as if listening intently. After a while, she turned her gaze towards the figure beside her, shrouded in a black cloak and hood, and said calmly, "He has left Yuan City and is flying in this direction."

The cloaked figure responded with a raspy, unpleasant voice, like the hissing of a snake, "Excellent."

He removed his hood, revealing his unusual appearance. His eyes were tightly shut, and his bald head had no hair. A curved, reddish-black horn protruded from the center of his forehead, resembling an alien creature.

The most striking feature, however, was his mouth. It was lipless, yet enormous, with the corners of his mouth splitting up to his earlobes, giving the impression that his head might split open if he opened his mouth wide.

A long, slender snake's tongue darted in and out of the slit in his mouth with incredible speed, creating an optical illusion.

"I sense... a dangerous aura," he said, raising his head slightly towards the direction of Yuan City.

"A massive source of danger is approaching us..."

"Most of us have death omens on our bodies."

"Miss Xu, I'm starting to think that participating in this operation wasn't a good idea."

The woman with the goat-like eyes frowned and asked, "You want to back out?"

The snake-like man shook his head. "For the sake of the Prince of the God, we would gladly sacrifice ourselves without hesitation. We will spare no effort to bring back the woman who might become the 'Holy Mother' and welcome her into our church."

"However... we need to discuss the specifics further."

With his eyes closed, he turned towards the woman with the goat-like eyes. "Your Tranquil Abyss Eye is powerful, but you are just an ordinary person without our blessed physical constitution. You cannot fully adapt to such a divine artifact. If we rely solely on your current strength, we might not be able to handle such a dangerous individual."

The woman replied indifferently, "What do you mean?"

The man shook his head. "From now on, you cannot use suppressors. You must undergo Alienation and unleash more of the power of the Tranquil Abyss Eye, or we will have no chance of survival."

A boy standing next to the woman glared at him and said, "That's absurd! He's just a minor, no matter how powerful he is. Don't listen to him, Sister Kui!"

The snake-like man paid no attention to the boy, as if he didn't exist, and continued, "That dangerous scent... can only be described as a serpent. Believe me, that young man is terrifyingly strong."

"To fight a serpent, one must become a serpent..."

His tone was incredibly calm.

"I will die in this battle, Miss Xu. Let's not waste our sacrifices."

The boy pleaded, "Sister Kui, don't listen to him!"

The woman with the goat-like eyes raised her hand to stop the boy from saying more. She sighed softly and said, "In that case, we will follow the instructions of the church leader."

Inside the aircraft, Sch Jing sat in his seat, gazing out the window at the ground below. Even at high altitudes and through the clouds, his vision remained crystal clear, allowing him to see the ground with ease.

In the distance, he spotted the massive hexagonal building he had seen when he first arrived in the inner ring.

According to Ning Yuan Tai, it was the cross-border creature breeding facility of the mega-corporation 'United Farming'.

The Flame Crab that Sch Jing had eaten in Yuan City was one of their products.

He pondered for a moment and casually asked Ning Yuan Tai, who was sitting next to him and enjoying an ice cream cone, "Is there a way to visit such a breeding facility?"

Ning Yuan Tai replied, "Are you interested in the breeding facility, Mr. Sch?"

"I guess so," Sch Jing replied.

There should be many cross-border creatures in such places... I wonder how many of them possess divinity.

He wasn't thinking of stealing or anything illegal; instead, he was considering whether he could purchase large quantities of divine creatures if he found the right species.

After all, he had ten billion dollars to spend, and he wasn't sure how to use it.

Ning Yuan Tai scratched his head. "That might be difficult... Breeding cross-border creatures is incredibly complex. These creatures live in a different world from ours."

"Mega-corporations like United Farming have their own secret breeding methods for many species, and these are trade secrets that they won't disclose."

"Even if I have connections inside, it's unlikely we could get permission to visit."

Sch Jing nodded. "I see... I was just asking."

Time passed quickly, and a few hours later, the plane was about to leave the inner ring and enter the outer ring.

Inside the aircraft, Catcat, who had been sleeping on Sch Jing's lap, suddenly opened her eyes, her emerald-green vertical pupils gleaming sharply.

Her front paws extended, revealing silver-white Serpent Slayer Blades, and her fur stood on end.

"What's wrong?" Sch Jing asked, glancing at her.

"Jing A," Catcat said, her eyes fixed on Sch Jing, her expression serious.

"There's a situation. 'Unbeaten Lionheart'... has sounded the alarm."

"It's very dangerous, probably the most dangerous situation we've faced so far."

Sch Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up immediately. He chanted the incantation and summoned the Non-Existent Beast.

Then, with a thought, he commanded the Non-Existent Beast to swallow the little maid sitting next to him, who was dozing off in her seat.

After completing this task, Sch Jing gently patted the shoulder of Ning Yuan Tai, who was sitting in front of him.

"Yuan Tai," he said softly.

Ning Yuan Tai woke up with a start and exclaimed, "Mr. Sch, I'm here!"

Sch Jing whispered, "Tell the pilot to stop the plane and open the cabin door. I need to take care of something outside."
