Chapter 767: Moving the Divine
Chapter 767: Moving the Divine
Xue Shou raised his hands, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the six arms in front of him, keeping them at a distance of half a meter or more.
As the two psychic energies collided, both figures became unsteady and wavered.
But with the empowerment from the secret ritual, Xue Shou's figure became more solid. He looked up at the figure towering over him, at least one head taller, and smiled. With a forward press of his hand, the figure shattered like a mirage.
Xue Shou turned his head and said, "I can hold it off once more. Go ahead and do what you must."
Scholar Chen nodded and took a step back, his body suddenly vanishing from its original position. When he reappeared, he was already in the dense forest of the unknown region, not far behind him, where a man-sized rift existed, emitting a dazzling light from within. This was intentionally left by him earlier, and due to the time and the external terrain, he anticipated a high chance of encountering the fighter when he emerged. Thus, he had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have lingered to observe.
After the rift appeared, unstable gaps formed around it, allowing him to directly utilize the Flying Dragon Fist's power to travel through these gaps, although he couldn't match Chen Bitong's precision and control. Still, he could move straightforwardly.
As he retreated, the Black Armored General's psychic energy surged forward again, and once more, Xue Shou blocked the attack, but his figure wavered, seemingly unable to maintain its form.
After a while, the Black Armored General's figure reappeared, and this time, merely his presence was enough to dissipate the remaining psychic energy, causing his body to pause momentarily.
Scholar Chen had retreated to the front of the rift, and at that moment, he sensed something and looked up to see the Black Armored General also gazing in his direction. His eyes narrowed slightly, for he felt that it wasn't just psychic energy this time, but the general himself.
As this thought arose, a psychic field enveloped him, freezing the unstable gaps around him as if they were solidified, and even his body seemed compressed within that space.
Suddenly, a red-clad woman with a veil appeared, her red skirt swirling as she spun, and with a clang, her goose-feathered sword cleaved through the binding.
Scholar Chen's body lightened, and he leaned back, disappearing from that spot and reappearing on the other side of the rift. Simultaneously, he raised the Snow Queen Saber, and the passage, wide enough for a person to pass through, swiftly closed.
In an instant, Red Veil transformed into a red shadow, slipping through the closing rift and reverting to the fluttering scarf around his neck.
The area was suddenly empty, leaving only a gust of wind that blew the grass and leaves around.
The Black Armored General glanced at the spot, then took heavy steps forward, looking at the recently closed rift. He raised his fists with his four arms and struck the air! But the strike seemed to hit a solid object, as fine cracks appeared in the air, and light seeped through them. He raised his fists again and struck, a loud bang echoing as more cracks appeared.
After several attempts, he leaned forward, pressing all six hands against the cracks and slowly exerting force outward. The light seemed to expand gradually.
On the other side of the rift, Scholar Chen witnessed this situation. He understood that those with special or higher psychic abilities could pass through barriers and reach the other side. As a fighter, his opponent could also accomplish this, but it required preparation and specific weak points.
Currently, the situation was likely due to the broken World Ring and the residual energy from the recently closed rift, allowing the opponent to pinpoint his exact location and attempt to pry open the door.
Fortunately, this wasn't an easy task. The closed rift was self-healing, and the smaller the gap, the harder it was to tear open. So, for the time being, the opponent couldn't cross over. Even if the rift expanded, Scholar Chen could use the Snow Queen Saber to erase it, but he chose not to do so at that moment.
He could sense that the presence of the opponent was deeply stimulating his altered brain. These altered brain tissues now urged him forward, craving stronger power and higher life forms to counter external threats.
Scholar Chen had undoubtedly taken a step towards a higher level.
As he had anticipated, facing such an enemy directly, his second self resonated strongly with him, and now they were completely united.
And this second self was none other than himself. With no resistance from either side, the power accumulated by the second self instantly merged into his body.
In an instant, his psychic energy soared, and his biomagnetic field expanded outward for several kilometers, continuing to stretch further. Within this range, everything was vividly reflected in his mind.
But the next moment, he merely turned his thoughts, and these were once again restrained by him. This was because the growth of his power was not uncontrollable, but completely self-constrained.
He took a breath, feeling the immense vitality within his body, and subconsciously clenched his fist.
At this moment, the strength of his second self had completely become the strength of his original self. The anomalous organization within his body, whether in terms of vitality or resilience, had doubled from its original state.
Even at this moment, the strong sense of threat from the rift across from him remained unshakable. The cracks that had been forcibly smashed open were still trembling there, seemingly expanding every moment, while the anomalous organization was urging him to go higher.
The fighter's strength was absolutely not something that could be compared to those limited by the Limit Break. This was because it was a qualitative leap, a transformation of life brought about by the spiritual elevation.
So, it was time to take this step.
He looked up at the sky, and since entering, the radiance from the relic had receded, limiting itself to a few hundred meters around his body. Under this light, he could ward off all external invasions, and this was the reason for his boldness in attempting this ascension.
He looked ahead, tore off the ritual cloak from his body, and threw it to the ground, saying, "Red Veil, shield me for a while."
Red Veil's voice responded with a simple "Okay."
Scholar Chen sat down, took the relic bag, and first removed the shell-like relic, placing it beside him.
As he took this object out, it released wisps of smoke when illuminated by the light, but it was a few parts denser than when it was in its homeland. He took a whiff, and the slight depletion of his body and spirit was instantly replenished, restoring him to his peak.
Subsequently, he took out all the medicines given to him by the Pure Sect, although he was preparing to follow the path of 'Unity of Mind and Body'. This was not to stimulate the anomalous organization with drugs, but to enhance his life level, which required the absorption of sufficient nutrients. These things were all provided by some special medicines.
These medicines were not as rare as the pure essence, but for an individual, they were still extremely difficult to gather. However, for the Pure Sect, they were still readily available.
First, he took out a tube of jade-green pill and consumed it. This was the 'Life-saving Pill', which could sustain the life force of the taker during a crisis, allowing them to recover as long as they replenished nutrients in time. He kept this high-energy drug close at hand, ready to take it at any moment.
Then, he took out the 'Spirit Shield Pill', which quickly fortified his spirit against invasion.
The last one was the 'Preserving Powder', a medicine with no nourishing effects, but it ensured he wouldn't transform into something else during his ascension.
Because once a fighter's spirit reached the other side, some might become so infected that they couldn't hold on, giving birth to a certain obsession with the opposite side, an idea that couldn't be turned back once it took hold.
Therefore, this medicine was indispensable, and although he had confidence in himself, he didn't skip this step. He extended two fingers, dabbed some of the golden medicine, and applied it to his third eye, pulling it slightly downward, where a vertical mark appeared.
With this, all the preparations were complete. At this moment, every cell in his body, every anomalous organization, and every bit of his spirit formed a unified consciousness under the internal and external pressure, aiming to break through the limits and reach a higher level of life.
Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately calmed his mind and focused his spirit.
The method of breaking through the realm consisted of two steps, divided into 'Spirit Transformation' and 'Body Transformation'. The former came first, requiring his spirit to break through the barrier, harnessing the various infections to forge spiritual resilience. Then, he would return to refine his physical body, building a true transformation.
There were three stages to cross, each with crucial points to pay attention to, leaving no room for error.
He quickly went through what needed to be done before and after in his mind. He then activated the 'White Supreme Meditation' method taught by Teacher Xue, focusing on his 'Heart Jade', observing himself through it, observing the spirit through himself, and then returning the spirit to himself. This way, he could penetrate the inside and outside, achieving unity of mind and body.
After following this method, his spirit was left with only the Heart Jade, and from this singularity, a faint light gradually emerged from the Heart Jade. After a while, this light rapidly intensified, becoming bright and overflowing outward.
At this moment, his skin appeared slightly dimmer, as this stage required his robust life force to burn like firewood, providing the energy for his spirit's liberation. Most people at this stage would become emaciated, like sitting corpses. In the teachings, this was called 'Vital Essence Ignition to Enhance Divine Ability, the first death in the first stage.'
