Chapter 338: The Supremacy of the Panel, Over 10,000 Value, Crimson Nova, Helix Crimson Bullet (4K)
In the dark and lightless void, a great entity composed of blood and flesh, indescribable in its grandeur, opened its unfathomable crimson eyes and silently gazed upon Sch Jing.
In that instant, Sch Jing's thoughts came to a halt.
In the hyperscalar dimension where time had no meaning, Sch Jing was unaware of how long he had been there or what had transpired.
He only knew that in the next moment of his temporal perception, a prompt sounded within his consciousness.
【...%...Divinity Absorption Complete】
When he regained his senses, Sch Jing found himself back in the steel and metal world, with the lead-colored sky above and the Sky Cone slowly and steadily descending towards his student.
In his mind, the image of the great entity he had just witnessed was now a vague memory, with only the crimson eyes remaining relatively clear.
"..." Sch Jing shook his head and composed himself.
"Was this...a necessary step when activating True Crimson, or was it an accident?"
He looked pensive.
The skill description of True Crimson stated that it required sacrificing all special abilities except for blood and flesh to the True Red Master in exchange for corresponding physical strength.
It wasn't surprising to encounter the Otherworldly Deity itself when activating a skill that was clearly related to it, but...
Sch Jing's gaze fell upon the panel.
【Divinity: 6395】
Divinity had suddenly increased significantly.
After spending 5,000 divinity to activate True Crimson, he had 1,600 divinity left...but now, he had gained nearly 5,000 more points.
This didn't seem like a reward for simply activating a skill...
If it were so, wouldn't he become invincible by continuously activating True Crimson?
Sch Jing glanced at the prompt that had just appeared on the panel and immediately dismissed the idea.
【...%...Divinity Absorption Complete】
"It's gibberish..."
Sch Jing narrowed his eyes.
This was the first time the panel had shown such an anomaly since it appeared on him.
Throughout his experiences, no matter the situation, the panel had always maintained a superior state, as if its very existence was far above everything else, even when facing divine artifacts or powers related to Otherworldly Deities.
Because of this, Sch Jing had always believed in the supremacy of the panel, even when hearing Wu Youzhu's tales of the exaggeration of Otherworldly Deities. He trusted that his incredible panel might be on par with, or even surpass, the Otherworldly Deities.
And now, it seemed like he finally had an answer.
During the activation of True Crimson, an unexpected event had occurred, or perhaps it was not an accident but a necessary process. In any case, his consciousness had directly faced the grandeur of a hyperscalar being.
In the end, he returned safely.
Based on this prompt, it seemed that A Ban had brought him back by absorbing his divinity.
"You helped me escape the Otherworldly Deity and even absorbed its divinity? A Ban, are you truly an existence beyond the Otherworldly Deities?"
"Well...it's hard to say. It seems that absorbing divinity is quite challenging, as even the prompt displayed gibberish."
"It's possible that the True Red Master wasn't prepared and didn't pay attention. There's too little information to understand."
Sch Jing sighed.
"Nevertheless...A Ban does possess the power to influence the Otherworldly Deity's body. Although the upper limit is unclear, the lower limit is at least 'not completely helpless.'"
"That's good news."
Sch Jing slowly stood up.
His entire body was filled with blood qi, resembling a Saiyan who had activated the Boundary King Fist.
He clenched his fist, feeling a power that was almost unbelievable coursing through his body.
Powerful, extremely powerful.
He had never felt such a direct sense of his own strength.
The sheer, tangible might of his flesh and blood gave him a sense of fulfillment, making him want to howl in excitement.
"Is this the effect of True Crimson? It's no wonder I spent 5,000 divinity to activate this special skill."
He squeezed his palm, and the immense force directly compressed the air in his palm, creating a ring-shaped air current that caused a brief vacuum around his hand.
Looking up, the Sky Cone, which had previously felt unyieldingly hard, now seemed to Xue Jing as if it could be easily crushed with a single strike.
He knew this wasn't an illusion.
Pressing the attribute panel on his wrist, Xue Jing checked his current five-dimensional attributes.
Physical: 11203
Will: 1922
Tribulation: 15629
Sainthood: 825
Power: &¥%¥%
A Physical attribute value exceeding 10,000! Before unleashing his True Crimson power, his Physical value hovered around 1,700.
At this moment, with the empowerment of True Crimson, his Physical value had surged by nearly 10,000, almost seven times, reaching 11,203.
Numerically, this value was similar to that of a Martial Artist with an average physical talent, on the verge of their second limit break.
And this value was achieved by Xue Jing himself!
With his True Martial power, he could unleash strength far beyond that of an ordinary Martial Artist with the same value!
The increase in base attributes represented an all-around enhancement, not simply a sevenfold increase in strength compared to a normal state.
"Then... let's do a little test."
Xue Jing muttered to himself. His voice, deepened by the burning of his blood, had a rough, sandpaper-like quality.
"Bang!"
Without any warning or preparatory movements, Xue Jing suddenly vanished.
The metal tree he had been standing on instantly exploded, its sturdy steel trunk shattering into countless metal fragments. Steel leaves fluttered and scattered, creating a rain of iron leaves. The top third of the metal tree burst apart, the middle section was riddled with cracks, and the roots sank several meters deep into the ground.
This was the result of just one instance of Xue Jing's accelerated movement and its counterforce.
The sonic boom's screech hadn't even had time to spread when a long white scar appeared in the void, and Xue Jing was already standing atop the Sky Cone.
From his disappearance to his reappearance, the terrifying speed exceeded the speed of sound. Yet, in that instant of appearance, his body was completely motionless, as if he had been standing atop the Sky Cone from the very beginning.
This transition from extreme stillness to extreme motion, and then back to stillness, defied human physical laws, demonstrating his terrifying control over his own flesh and an unbelievable physical strength capable of withstanding such incredible actions.
Xue Jing felt a strange sensation.
He seemed... to have complete control over his blood.
Instinctively, his heart stirred.
The boiling blood within him surged like a raging river, and he didn't need to use breathing techniques to manipulate it with oxygen; it moved on its own.
The blood in his body swirled and spiraled according to Xue Jing's will, following the 'Cyclone Thunder' technique... Since he didn't need to use breathing techniques to control his blood, but could directly manipulate its movement, there was one less step, no middleman to take a cut, and the technique flowed with extreme smoothness.
Many of the original limitations of the breathing technique's energy manipulation were now non-existent. Xue Jing, with his profound Martial Arts foundation, modified, perfected, and optimized the 'Cyclone Thunder' technique in that instant, ultimately creating a brand-new move that fit the current blood-powered system.
The spiraling, boiling blood compressed, and its formidable kinetic energy converged in Xue Jing's right arm, forming a spiral indentation with the fist as the starting point. Dense blood energy enveloped his entire right arm.
Xue Jing named this new move.
"Crimson Nova."
"Boom!"
The spiraling, blood-infused fist struck the flat top of the Sky Cone, creating a spiral of crimson turbulence in its wake.
"Bang!"
The tungsten steel, with its strength more than twice that of ordinary steel, offered no resistance to the Crimson Nova's punch, and the light gray metal body shattered.
The terrifying shockwave exploded and spread for hundreds of meters in all directions. Countless fragments, smaller than a thumb, scattered in a spiral pattern like a tornado, shooting off to the far reaches of the four directions.
In a certain location within Zone D2, Li Sui Sui, who was leading his students forward, suddenly paled.
He vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of a student, extending his right hand.
Just as everyone was wondering what was happening—
Boom!
A fragment, smaller than a thumb, pierced through countless steel plants, pulling a visible vortex of air with it as it flew towards them, only to be stopped by Li Sui Sui's outstretched right hand.
"Pfft—"
As soon as he made contact, the unexpected force caused Li Sui Sui to furrow his brows slightly. He skillfully redirected the force, sending it off to the right.
Only then did the students react, exclaiming in shock, "We're under attack!"
"Where? Who is it?!"
"Don't panic, let's get into formation first..."
Li Sui Sui shook his head and said calmly in his youthful voice, "Calm down, this isn't an attack aimed at us."
He paused briefly, glanced around, and continued, "You stay here, I'll go take a look."
...
The Steel Ground was in disarray.
Fragments of the Sky Cone were scattered everywhere, creating holes that looked densely packed. White mist-like steam escaped from the holes, a result of the intense friction from the violent collisions.
Sch Jing gently landed on the ground, looking at his right hand in disbelief.
"Teacher Sch!"
With the destruction of the Sky Cone, the binding magnetic field dissipated, and Fu Jiali, who had opened her eyes, was overjoyed. She rushed towards Sch Jing.
Although they hadn't faced any real danger, the fear of death and the feeling of it looming over her had put immense pressure on her psyche.
Thankfully, Teacher Sch was there...
Fu Jiali's eyes welled up with tears, and she instinctively hugged Sch Jing, much like a child who had fallen and wanted to run to their parents for comfort.
At that moment, the sense of security Sch Jing exuded was, in her eyes, as great as the all-powerful parents in a child's perception.
However...
"Ah, it's so hot!"
As soon as she got within a meter of Sch Jing, the moment her palm touched the burning blood aura emanating from his body, Fu Jiali cried out in pain and crouched down, blowing on her swollen fingers.
"Teacher Sch..." Fu Jiali's face was filled with grievance.
It was then that she noticed Sch Jing's anomaly; his entire body resembled the tall man with strong 'spirit pressure' that He Han had mentioned. They both emanated a faint crimson aura.
Amidst the faint scent, she detected a peculiar fragrance that was bloody yet strangely alluring.
Sch Jing turned to look at her and smiled, "Jiali, you go catch up with the others. I have some matters to attend to, and I'll join you later."
Fu Jiali's expression fell, "Oh... okay, Teacher Sch, I'll listen to you."
Although she had a strong desire to stay by Sch Jing's side, she chose to prioritize following his orders.
Fu Jiali walked towards the direction of the main force, glancing back repeatedly. Sch Jing, on the other hand, intentionally glanced in a certain direction and remained still.
He looked at his palm and extended his index finger.
At the tip of his finger, a tiny hole appeared, barely visible to the naked eye.
Garnet-like blood, as precious as a gem, oozed out of the tiny hole.
Initially, it was just a drop, but soon, like a spray gun, a large amount of blood spurted out from the hole in his fingertip.
The blood did not scatter and fall but instead, without any support, hovered in mid-air, rigid and straight.
Sch Jing's eyes flashed, "As expected, in the 'True Crimson' state, I can control blood at will... not only within my body but also, like featherization, I can freely use this supernatural ability of 'Blood Control'!"
With a thought, all the blood suddenly converged, forming a large sword that constantly released blood energy, resembling a burning blade.
Sch Jing grasped the Blood Flame Sword in his hand and swung it vigorously! The burning crimson sword energy slashed through the Steel Ground, creating a deep and sharp ravine. It continued to cut through everything in its path, with a sharpness beyond imagination.
Then, he pointed the sword at a three-meter-tall Metal Gigaflower. The blood-formed sword body wriggled and rapidly grew, extending and piercing through the Metal Gigaflower with a crisp sound.
"Replicating, Hardening, Flexibility at Will..."
Sch Jing was amazed by his own ability.
This was a top-tier blood control ability, not inferior to Shadow Flame in terms of plasticity!
"This move is called True Crimson Sword."
Sch Jing dispersed the blood-formed great sword in his hand and then extended his finger, aiming it at a distant target.
The blood spiraled and condensed at his fingertip, compressing, and then... it shot out!
Whoosh—
A Metal Tree was directly pierced, leaving a tiny spiral hole.
"This move is called Helix Crimson Bullet."
