Chapter 767: The Moving God
Chapter 767: The Moving God
Xue Shou raised his hands, forming an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking the six-armed figure in front of him, keeping it at a distance.
The two opposing spiritual forces collided, causing both their bodies to flicker and sway unsteadily.
With the empowerment of the secret rite, Xue Shou's figure became more substantial. He looked up at the figure towering over him, at least twice his height, and smiled. With a forward push of his hand, the figure shattered like a mirage.
Xue Shou turned his head and said, "I can still hold it off once more. Go ahead and do what you need to do."
Chen Chuan nodded and took a step back. His body flickered, and he suddenly disappeared from his original spot, reappearing in the mysterious forest of the unknown territory behind him. A rift, tall enough for a person, glowed with dazzling light, which he had intentionally left open earlier. Due to the time and the terrain outside, he anticipated a high chance of encountering the fighter again, so he had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed to watch.
After creating the rift, unstable gaps appeared in the surrounding area, allowing him to travel through them with the power of the Dragon Soar Fist Energy. Although he couldn't match Chen Bi Tong's precision and control, he could still move directly.
As Chen Chuan retreated, the Armored General's spiritual power surged again, but Xue Shou blocked it once more. However, his figure flickered, seemingly unable to maintain its form.
After a while, the Armored General's figure reappeared, and this time, his mere presence shattered the remaining residue. His body also paused slightly due to the impact.
Chen Chuan had retreated to the front of the rift, and at that moment, he sensed something and looked up. The Armored General was also gazing in his direction. Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he realized that it wasn't just spiritual power this time; the general himself had arrived.
As this thought crossed his mind, a field pressure enveloped him, freezing the unstable gaps around him in place. Even his body seemed compressed.
Suddenly, a red figure appeared out of thin air, a veiled woman in red, spinning gracefully like a dancer. Her red skirt billowed as she brandished her Crane Feather Saber, clanging as it sliced through the shackles.
Chen Chuan felt his body lighten, and he leaned back, disappearing from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the other side of the rift, and with a swift upward sweep of his Snow Lady Sword, the rift, wide enough for a person to pass through, quickly closed.
In an instant, Red Whirl transformed into a red shadow and slipped through the closing rift, returning to her original form as a fluttering scarf around Chen Chuan's neck.
The area where they had been standing was now empty, except for a gust of wind that sent grass and leaves flying.
The Armored General took a glance and walked with heavy steps towards the recently closed rift. He raised his four arms on his shoulders and clenched his fists, pounding them upwards! But this strike seemed to hit a solid object, and fine cracks appeared in the air, with radiant light seeping through the cracks. He raised his fists and struck again, and the cracks above multiplied with a loud bang.
After several attempts, he leaned forward, placing all six hands on the cracks and slowly pushing outward. The radiant light seemed to expand gradually.
Across the rift, Chen Chuan observed the situation. He knew that those with special or higher spiritual abilities could penetrate barriers and reach the other side. As a fighter, the Armored General could also do this, but it required preparation and specific weak points.
Currently, the world ring's shattering and the residual effects of the recently closed rift made it possible for the general to locate Chen Chuan precisely and attempt to reopen the rift.
Fortunately, it wasn't an easy task. A closed rift would naturally heal, making it harder to tear open as the gap narrowed. For now, the general couldn't get through, and even if the rift expanded, Chen Chuan could erase it with his sword. However, he chose not to do so.
Chen Chuan could sense that the presence of the Armored General had deeply stimulated his altered organization, which was eagerly pushing him forward. These altered cells craved greater power and higher life levels to counter external threats.
Now, the conditions for his advancement were undeniably met.
As he had anticipated, the confrontation with such an enemy had resonated strongly with his second self, and they had now fully merged.
This second self was none other than Chen Chuan himself, and with no resistance from his own will, the power accumulated by the second self instantly merged into his body.
In an instant, his spirit soared, and his bio-field expanded outward for several kilometers, continuing to stretch further. Within its range, everything was vividly reflected in his mind.
The next moment, he suppressed his surging power with a mere thought, as his strength wasn't uncontrollable but entirely self-regulated.
He took a breath, feeling the immense vitality within his body, and unconsciously clenched his fist.
At this moment, the power of his second self had completely merged with his original self. The mutated tissues in his body, whether in terms of vitality or resilience, had doubled compared to their original state.
Even now, the intense threat from the rift on the other side still lingered, as the forcibly smashed cracks continued to tremble, seemingly expanding every moment. The mutated tissues urged him to reach even higher.
A fighter's strength was far beyond that of a limited-level combatant, as it was a qualitative leap, a spiritual transcendence driving the evolution of life.
It was time to take that step.
He looked up at the sky, and since his arrival, the radiant aura from the relic had subsided, limited to a few hundred meters around his body. Within this light, he was shielded from external intrusions, giving him the confidence to advance here.
He gazed forward, tore off the cloak he was wearing, and threw it to the ground, saying, "Red Whirl, cover me for a moment."
"Okay," Red Whirl's voice responded.
Chen Chuan sat down, grabbed his bag, and took out the shell-like relic, placing it beside him.
As he removed it, the relic emitted wisps of smoke, slightly denser than when it was in its homeland. He took a whiff, and his physical and mental weariness was instantly replenished, restoring him to his peak.
Then he took out all the medicines given to him by the Pure School. Although he intended to follow the path of 'Divine Self Unity', which didn't require drugs to stimulate mutated tissues, advancing to a higher level of life still required absorbing sufficient nutrients and consuming a large amount of energy. These special drugs were necessary for this process.
These drugs weren't as rare as pure essence, but for an individual, they were still challenging to gather. However, for the Pure School, it wasn't a problem.
He took out a tube of jade-green pills and swallowed them. These were 'Vitality Pills', ensuring his body's endurance, capable of sustaining the taker's life in critical moments. Afterward, as long as he replenished nutrients promptly, he could recover. He kept these high-energy drugs close at hand, ready to consume them at any time.
In a 6191 book, there is no wrong version!
Then he took out the 'Spirit Shield Pill', a medicine to protect his spirit from corruption. He quickly consumed it.
Lastly, he took out the 'True Guardian Powder', a medicine with no nourishing effects, only ensuring he wouldn't transform into something else during his advancement.
Once a fighter's spirit reaches the other side, if it's too corrupted and uncontrollable, some might develop a certain obsession with the other side, no longer thinking like a human. With just a shift in thought, there's no turning back.
Therefore, this powder was a necessity. Though he had confidence in himself, he didn't skip this step. He extended two fingers, dipped them in the golden powder, and applied it to the position of his third eye, the vertical mark between his eyebrows, drawing a vertical line.
With these preparations complete, every cell in his body, every mutated tissue, and every bit of his spirit, under internal and external pressure, formed a unified consciousness—to break through the limit and transcend to a higher level of life.
Without hesitation, he held his breath and focused his energy.
Breaking through the realm involved two steps: 'Divine Shedding' and 'Physical Shedding'. The former came first, requiring his spirit to break through the barrier, tempering his mental fortitude through various corruptions, before returning to refine his physical body and form the true shape, completing the 'Physical Shedding'.
There were three hurdles to cross, each with crucial points to pay attention to, leaving no room for error.
He quickly reviewed in his mind what he needed to do, then activated the method taught by Teacher Xue, the 'Tai Bai Jing Guan' meditation method. He focused on his spiritual essence, using it to observe himself, then using himself to observe his spirit, and finally using his spirit to reflect, thus achieving internal and external unity and merging the divine self with the original self.
After doing this, his spirit was empty except for the spiritual essence, which gradually glowed from it. Initially, it was just a faint light, but after a while, it rapidly intensified, filling the space with brightness and overflowing outward.
At this moment, his skin appeared slightly dimmer, as this stage required his robust life force to burn like kindling, fully supporting his spirit's transcendence. Most people at this stage would become emaciated, like sitting corpses. In the teachings, this is called "burning the essence of life to aid spiritual power, the first death before rebirth."
