Chapter 620 - 613: Heady Rush
"Impossible!"
Rainbow said in a deep voice, his tone laced with barely suppressed frustration.
"His Energy Level is only around that of an Ancient True King. He’s just getting closer to a Primordial Ancestor’s level because of his various special abilities and states. His greatest weakness should be his stamina."
"He doesn’t have our special methods for recovering stamina, so how could he recover instantly? Besides, Ji mentioned before that after he sealed her physical body, he didn’t even have enough Energy to restore his severed arm. Your perception must be mistaken, right?"
Rainbow growled.
"Ji did indeed provide similar intel, which is why we initially planned to deplete his stamina first to increase the success rate of the True Realm Seal. But now, it seems either he was acting during his fight with Ji, or he’s had a new breakthrough in the half-month since and has solved his stamina recovery problem through some special means."
the Master of Nightmares said.
"Solving his stamina replenishment problem in half a month? Are you sure you’re not joking?"
Primordial Cosmos said.
"From his birth until now, only twenty-seven years have passed. And it’s only been about two years since he truly broke through the limits of the human body. You’ve all seen the Data."
the Master of Nightmares said coolly.
Primordial Cosmos was choked speechless, a nameless rage brewing in his heart.
’How could such a being exist among humans?’
"We can’t judge this person by normal standards. That’s another reason why we must seal him away."
the Master of Nightmares said.
"Then, what do you intend to do?"
"We don’t know what this guy’s stamina limits are."
Ji asked.
"Forget it. In this world, it’s far too difficult to do things with absolute certainty. When necessary, some risks must be taken."
The Master of Nightmares slowly stood up from the ground, apparently interrupting some prior preparations.
"From now on, none of you need to act. Everyone, get into position. Gather your essential characteristics and prepare to begin the Seal."
the Master of Nightmares said slowly.
"You want to... initiate the Seal directly? You must know that at our level, the True Realm is an existence that even we cannot fully touch. The True Realm Seal is, in effect, being Exiled from the True Realm. It converts a physical entity into the True Realm, and the immense energy consumption is directly related to the target’s Energy Level."
"Back then, we sacrificed countless lives just to open a True Realm passage and achieve interstellar travel. For every bit the target’s Energy Level is higher, the greater the consumption and the greater the risk."
"When casting this Seal, our essences are temporarily linked. I have no desire for some accident to occur because of your gamble, causing an unknown risk to spread to our true selves—our True Spirits."
said Ancestor Yu, who was cloaked in black and holding a scythe, just like the legendary Death God.
"Exactly. I think we should continue to wear him down, probe his secrets, and figure out his method of stamina recovery. Then we can respond accordingly."
Tuo, who had three heads and six arms like an evil god from legend, also spoke up.
The True Realm was an existence that even they could only barely touch, not fully comprehend. For them, every deep contact with the True Realm carried immense risk if they weren’t careful.
This risk wasn’t just confined to their avatars; it could spread to their original True Spirits.
That would lead to extremely severe consequences.
"Let’s try one more time. If three to five of us attack at once, we’ll surely be able to figure him out."
"..."
The various Primordial Ancestors were divided on the Master of Nightmares’s plan.
After all, although Zhou Yuanjue was powerful, they felt they still held a massive advantage and shouldn’t act so recklessly.
...
...
「Meanwhile」 As the Twelve Primordial Ancestors were caught in their disagreement, Zhou Yuanjue continued to wander around Nightmare City for a while. When he found no clues on how to escape the area and noticed that the enemy had fallen silent, his patience began to wear thin.
’Who knows what could happen if I just stay in this godforsaken place. I can’t even tell if the flow of time here is the same as in the outside world. If the Celestial Demons use this opportunity to make a move in the real world, the situation will be dire.’
’It seems the key is that mass of gray fog in the sky. That must be the core of this region. It gives me a faint sense of danger and pressure...’
’Forget it. I can’t wait any longer. Since they’re not making a move, I’ll just have to use a cruder method.’
Zhou Yuanjue looked up again at the enormous mass of gray fog in the sky.
’If that’s the core, it’s bound to be full of backup plans and traps. Exploring it would be very dangerous.’
’Just blowing it up should be much less dangerous...’
’Well then, let’s give it a try.’
Zhou Yuanjue pondered for a moment and formulated a relatively sound battle plan.
Then, he reached for the satchel at his waist, unzipped it, and plunged his hand inside, grabbing fiercely.
A large handful of rock sugar-like crystals appeared in his palm.
"This dosage... my body should be able to handle it, right?"
Zhou Yuanjue muttered to himself. The next moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and shoved the entire handful of crystals inside.
The moment the immense Energy from the compressed cells dissolved within his body...
his pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.
THUMP!! THUMP!!
His tough, powerful heart pounded violently as if endless Power was surging into every inch of his muscle, every one of his blood vessels.
Propelled by the immense Power, blood rushed to his brain, rupturing countless capillaries. Zhou Yuanjue’s hair stood on end, and his eyes instantly turned a ferocious blood-red as the vessels within them burst. His entire expression seemed to twist.
BANG!!
His body instantly entered the Star Transformation: Four Holy Forms—Cyan Dragon state. His height shot up to an unprecedented height of nearly eight meters, and the muscles all over his body swelled to an incredible degree, like an overinflated balloon about to burst.
"I think... I ate too much... A bit... of a rush..."
Under the impact of this immense Power, even Zhou Yuanjue’s will felt a little sluggish. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
To immediately unleash this terrifying, Overloaded Power completely.
"Well then..."
Zhou Yuanjue’s palms suddenly intertwined before him, forming a strange sigil.
This was the strongest explosive technique he had mastered, the Secret Technique Crosses the Sky. After breaking through the limits of his sphere, it had evolved into the world-rending Divine Wings Reformation Technique. And now, this move had reached a new peak.
SCREEE!!!
The cry of a massive bird pierced the sky as nearly endless Divine Soul Power erupted from Zhou Yuanjue’s body, spreading out madly!!
"Wait a minute!"
One of the Twelve Primordial Ancestors, who had been divided and arguing, suddenly spoke up and pointed at the screen.
All Twelve Primordial Ancestors looked over at the same time, and an extremely shocking scene appeared before their eyes.
On the screen, a massive amount of silvery-white Divine Soul Power could be seen spreading and twisting through the city like a natural disaster. A gigantic bird broke free from it, its wingspan covering nearly a third of Nightmare City!!
Its raised neck and proud eyes stared through the gray, misty screen, locking onto their location.
It was like a Divine Eagle staring down its prey.
