Chapter 593 - 586: Release
BOOM!!
The Rainbow light in the sky vibrated. The mountain peaks swayed. Heaven and earth themselves seemed to tremble at the appearance of that figure.
Finally, the figure emerged completely from the darkness, standing tangibly before Zhou Yuanjue. And Zhou Yuanjue, in turn, got a perfectly clear look at her face.
She stood nearly two meters tall, with skin as fair as snow. Her proportions were nearly flawless—her curves, the length of her legs, everything—perfectly conforming to all human aesthetic standards. She was like a masterpiece bestowed by the heavens.
Moreover, her face was just as exquisite, filled with an ancient, classical elegance. She had cherry-like lips and a pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes, at the corner of which sat a distinctive beauty mark. Her jet-black hair was coiled high, woven with golden hairpins and threads into a shape resembling a coronet.
However, the woman wasn’t wearing the magnificent robes that would have matched her disposition and appearance. Instead, her breathtaking curves were bound by strips resembling bandages, creating a sense of discord. The wrappings around her shoulder blades, ankles, waist, and hips showed clear signs of damage, as if they had once been pierced by something immense.
From her appearance, she was a woman of ultimate beauty and nobility. But what was chilling was that set in this beautiful face was a pair of utterly savage, blood-red eyes. Those eyes stared intently at Zhou Yuanjue as her cherry-like lips curled into a slight smile.
Her fair body showed no signs of training; she looked delicate, as if a strong wind could blow her over, her skin so flawless it might break at a touch. Yet under the gaze of those eyes, Zhou Yuanjue felt an intense pressure.
It was a pressure originating from a purely physical power, an overflowing sense of life that was the strongest Zhou Yuanjue had ever witnessed.
He also noticed that the environment around the woman seemed to be distorting. It was as if her breathing was sucking the air out of the vicinity, causing a deviation in the light spectrum.
Primordial Ancestor "Ji," known as the Lord of War, possessed what was acknowledged as the most Solid shell among all Celestial Demons.
For this reason, she also had the epithet "Golden Mother."
Although most of her consciousness was still under the Seal of the Glowing Moon Dream Realm, and she could not yet fully mobilize her many abilities related to the True Spirit, she believed that with this body alone, she could dominate the world!
’To generate such immense pressure with just a physical body... she’s quite an opponent.’
’In that case, let’s see just how strong a Primordial Ancestor’s body really is.’
Zhou Yuanjue’s expression was calm. He slowly extended a finger and pointed it at his own body.
WENG!!
The countless cells throughout his body resonated violently as the formidable power of the True Self System was completely unleashed.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!
A vast amount of Divine Soul Power billowed upward, shining with a silver-white light. It shot into the sky like a pillar of light, parting the dense dark clouds.
The earth also trembled and shook. The intense pressure he exuded actually forced back the pressure radiating from the woman’s body.
’This power far surpasses the Ancient True King Level. There’s something strange about this guy. Even on the Path of True Self, his strength shouldn’t have ballooned to this extent in such a short time.’
Ji Xuehong’s demonic eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, when he fought the two Ancient True Kings, Zhou Yuanjue was far from possessing his current level of power. However, he also had a unique quality that ordinary people couldn’t possibly imagine.
Just as he himself had said, with each passing day, his body was undergoing some kind of earth-shattering transformation.
Techniques and knowledge he hadn’t understood before would continuously flood his mind, gradually allowing him to accomplish incredible feats like the Simulation of Ancestral Power, communicating with the Natural Magnetic Field, tearing open the magnetic field, and instantly pulling Li Qingxuan back into a dream.
Ultimately, all of this stemmed from his unique path.
Within his body, there wasn’t just one "I," but tens of millions of "I"s. Having abandoned a purely brain-centric, sovereign way of thinking, the tens of millions of "I"s in his body all possessed the ability to think, comprehend, and cultivate independently. Although their autonomy was somewhat suppressed by the establishment of the system’s order, preventing them from fully comparing to Zhou Yuanjue’s primary consciousness, their numbers were simply too vast, permeating every aspect of his body. And right now, they were in a state of round-the-clock, feverish activity.
It was like Donghua back in the day, when countless individuals dedicated their efforts, leading to daily, transformative changes that drastically shortened the gap between it and the world’s major powers in a short period.
Zhou Yuanjue’s current state was countless times stronger than that.
He was cultivating while walking, cultivating while sitting, and cultivating while lying down. He was even cultivating in the middle of a fight. Even when his primary consciousness was just thinking, his innumerable "True Selves" were operating day and night without rest.
In truth, his sense of emptiness didn’t stem from his growth in power, but from the uncertainty about the path forward, caused by how excessively fast that growth was.
He knew that while this growth seemed terrifying and unstoppable, it ultimately had a limit.
And now, he could already see that limit.
The limit was his Physical Strength exceeding what Earth’s biosphere could withstand.
Earth would be unable to satisfy his body’s need for Energy and oxygen, or even to withstand his Power.
At that point, any further increase in strength would be like digging his own grave.
Therefore, he needed to find the path forward—the most advanced path.
To break the shackles of this planet.
As for whether he could defeat the Primordial Ancestor?
That was simply an inevitability.
There was no doubt about it.
SWOOSH!!!
The next moment, Ji’s figure shot into motion.
BANG!!
Wherever her body passed, the surrounding void let out a muffled boom.
Along her path of movement, the air and everything else were displaced by her immense force, creating a vacuum.
CRACK! CRACK!
The internal structures of her body seemed to make a sound like turning gears. Augmented by immense power, even the space around her seemed to twist slightly.
The Golden Mother’s Body!!
At this moment, she lacked the strange abilities of the True Spirit System. All she had was the natural, majestic power of this body, and this power alone was enough to inspire fear! Not a single True King could withstand such terrifying Fist Force that could warp space itself.
’Perfect. I have a new move to try as well.’
’It was tailor-made by my innumerable selves, based on the ’True Self’ state, and it transcends the boundaries of conventional Martial Dao.’
’With my many selves as the foundation, with genes as the medium of change, with Divine Soul as the energy, and with the Four Holy as the form...’
ROAR!!!
Zhou Yuanjue’s body swelled violently, as if he had entered the state specializing in "Power," but it was slightly different.
His body expanded even more frighteningly, and the life-force patterns on his skin seemed to recombine. At a glance, they looked just like the variegated stripes of a tiger, making him resemble a giant White Tiger.
"Four Holy Forms, White Tiger!!!"
