Chapter 582: 582 Divine Thunder, Dual Alpha!
Upon the promotion liquid entering his abdomen, Xia Feng felt a stinging, burning sensation in his throat and abdomen. His blood surged, and his nerves tightened. He felt as though he was being propelled into the clouds by a rocket, his mind dazed and floating. His whole body felt light, as if he were about to take flight.
“Bang—!!”
The bone dragon unleashed countless bone spurs, blasting the ground into a deep, honeycomb-like pit, sending debris flying. Xia Feng coughed up blood and soared into the air, having indeed taken flight.
“Roar!!!” The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, a deathly dragon flame from the underworld surging forth, unleashing another torrential wave that surged into Xia Feng’s dark pupils as he was sent flying backward.
[Saint Hand Guanyin – Guanyin Hand]
Thousands of white arms extended upwards from the ground, blooming like a sea of flowers, forming a barrier of hands before Xia Feng, directly facing the dragon flame’s impact. The sea of hands was annihilated layer by layer, and in just two moments, the sea of flowers was completely shattered.
Next, the Musashi Tengu was also shattered by the dragon flame surge, and Xia Feng crashed into one giant tree after another as he was continuously sent flying.
“Venerable Promotion Liquid?”
Ba Ji naturally saw Xia Feng’s sudden action, which made him puzzled. Wasn’t this just a puppet? Why would it drink the promotion liquid? Could it be planning to be promoted through battle? How was that possible? After all, even a super genius wouldn’t dare to do something so dangerous. Drinking promotion liquid during a battle was no different from suicide.
However, this was an alchemy puppet, not a real person. Could there be some special secret method that could activate it with promotion liquid?
Ba Ji, filled with doubt, subconsciously directed his gaze to the bone dragon, thus sharing its ‘True Dragon Vision’ ability. He was stunned when he saw it. In the bone dragon’s eyes, the alchemy puppet’s spirit substance glowed as brightly as stars! Alchemy puppets possess spirit pressure, spirit bases, and an artificial intelligence-like core, but they should never have spirit substance. Spirit substance is a mark of life!
Yet now, there was spirit substance within the alchemy puppet, and not only that, its glow was frantically climbing, as if a terrifying sublimation was about to occur.
“This guy isn’t a puppet?”
“He’s a real person?!”
Ba Ji felt a chill in his heart and quickly came up with an incredible conjecture, “This person is Xia Feng!” How could this be? Was this also part of the plan? Ba Ji was somewhat confused, unsure of what tricks that old woman Jian Xin was up to.
The burly strong man’s momentary daze caused a pause in the bone dragon’s attack, giving Xia Feng a brief respite. He leaned against a thick, giant tree, sweat beading on his forehead. He had to admit, drinking promotion liquid in this situation was indeed suicidal.
He could already feel the spirit pressure within him becoming chaotic. Even though he tried his best to control and construct, attempting to re-stabilize the spirit particle structure, the spirit pressure was collapsing irreversibly and rapidly disintegrating. It was like an avalanche, a mountain collapsing, the earth caving in.
The ten-thousand-meter-high snow mountain he had painstakingly built suddenly collapsed, the heavens and earth cracking. He suddenly spat out black blood, his body swaying precariously. After the spirit pressure collapsed, the underlying spirit base also showed fine cracks like an earthquake, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
Xia Feng took a deep breath, quickly calming his mind. He used the remaining chaotic spirit particles to suppress the spirit base that was on the verge of shattering, but it was no use. It only slightly slowed down the speed of the spirit base’s collapse.
In truth, the normal process of becoming a Venerable required a quiet, secluded environment, a clear and rapidly operating genius brain, and ample spirit particle supply from the outside. This was because, during the process of becoming a Venerable, the spirit base and spirit pressure were extremely unstable. A large amount of external spirit particles needed to be supplied continuously, and these particles could be used to quickly construct the spirit particle structure.
When a layer of spirit pressure collapsed, another layer had to be quickly constructed and covered, so as to maintain the spirit pressure density and simultaneously suppress the spirit base, which was nourished by the promotion liquid and could erupt at any moment, preventing it from collapsing.
This was also why, even with ample external spirit particle supply, most people often failed to be promoted because the speed of constructing the spirit particle structure could not keep up with the speed of spirit pressure collapse, leading to the disintegration of spirit pressure and failed promotion. In more serious cases, the spirit base would be damaged, and strength would significantly decrease. In even more severe cases, the spirit base could explode, destroying the spirit substance along with it, scattering the soul to the winds.
Xia Feng’s current situation was that there was no massive external spirit particle supply, his spirit pressure was irreversibly dissipating, and his spirit base, lacking the suppression of spirit pressure, was about to self-destruct and explode. If he were a normal person, he would be beyond hope now. He would only be able to waste a portion of promotion liquid and wait quietly for his death.
But he was not a normal person. Xia Feng’s purpose in drinking the promotion liquid was merely to put on a show.
[After drinking the promotion liquid, the spirit pressure fell into violent disorder, showing signs of collapsing and separating from the body. Mu Qingtong, after a long contemplation of 0.49 seconds, completed the reconstruction of the spirit pressure state –]
[The spirit base, nourished by the promotion liquid, underwent extreme evolution but tended towards instability. However, because the spirit pressure, before the spirit base could react, transformed from a state of violent disorder to extreme stability, its tendency towards instability, just as it showed signs of excitement, was forcefully stifled in confusion and began a perfect sublimation – Progress 0.01%]
“As expected of Mu Shen!” Xia Feng praised in his heart. However, only when Miss Mu’s strength showed a substantial increase would her state synchronize. Therefore, his condition was still not good, and his spirit base could collapse at any moment.
[Mu Qingtong simultaneously constructs the dual A-class spirit particle structures of the Blood Spirit Throne/Blood Spirit Construct, integrates these two A-class structures into the ‘Promotional Spirit Material · Tai Chi Fruit’, and activates the Dual Origin · Venerable Condensation Ritual – 1%]
[As it is the ritual for the dual origin fruit position, two condensation rituals must be completed.]
[Condensation Ritual 1: Use the Throne Construct and a dual cultivation partner to kill at least one genius at the Venerable Third Realm.]
[Condensation Ritual 2: Plunder at least one legendary A-grade fruit position of the Venerable Fourth Realm.]
The so-called plundering of a fruit position refers to killing a ‘person about to condense their fruit position’ through special methods. The deceased person’s fruit position, under the influence of heaven and earth rules, transforms into spirit paper containing enlightenment marks! This spirit paper is also called [Dao Fruit Spirit Paper]. The enlightenment marks within not only help spirit masters comprehend spirit robes but also make it several times easier to condense their fruit position, allowing for easy promotion. For this reason, this act is called plundering a fruit position and is prohibited by imperial law.
[Heavenly Dao Sanction –]
[Owners of S-grade spirit artifacts and above will trigger the Heavenly Dao Law Sanction – Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder!]
[Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder]
[Level: Dual Alpha]
[During the process of completing the condensation ritual, {Heavenly Dao} will descend divine thunder laws to obstruct your promotion.]
Xia Feng: “…” What is this? Is this preferential treatment? Does Heavenly Dao just dislike those who possess powerful spirit artifacts? Xia Feng wanted to curse, but the term ‘dual alpha’… could it mean that even the Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder had different levels? And ‘dual alpha’… undoubtedly, it was unprecedented!
