Chapter 408: Level 2 Reactor
Xiang Yu sat in a meditative posture next to the spirit vein.
All the other clones were doing the same.
When the system’s settlement message appeared, they all locked in even more deeply.
A few seconds later, Xiang Yu opened his eyes with a confused expression. He thought about the experience for a while before shaking his head, it was a failure this time as well.
He glanced at the system screen as the other clones slowly returned to their duties.
As he was observing his system screen, he felt his body begin restructuring.
It was his Transcendent Dao Body and Stellar Constellation Physique upgrading.
In his spiritual sea and throughout his entire body, he felt the reactions intensify because of his stellar physique. Feeling the intense energy rushing through him, Xiang Yu instantly released the void flame that had been separating his bloodline area.
Instantly, the four bloodline essences charged at each other.
At this point, they were somewhat equally matched, and the difference could be overcome through their adaptability, so he didn’t think it would be a problem. His face grimaced slightly as he felt the level of fighting going on - it was really on another level.
He then reactivated the bloodline reactor on all the bloodlines, letting them go at it. He thought to himself that he could take advantage of his body upgrading to boost them even more.
Half an hour later, the reaction hadn’t stopped and was getting even more heated.
It was just like before, his two physiques were interfering with each other, preventing either of them from upgrading effectively. He smiled. He didn’t worry about it too much, since the system had already marked them as leveled up, they would find a way somehow.
For now, he would make use of the intensifying reaction to get benefits, such as maybe stimulating his spiritual root. He checked his spiritual root stats and saw how its experience was counting up fast and didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
He smiled, this was quite the unexpected bonus.
A few hours later, the reaction continued to intensify more and more and felt as though it would never end. "I’m starting to think this wasn’t a good idea," Xiang Yu thought as he saw how the intensity of both physiques was rising.
Before, he had the Chaos Physique and the two bloodlines interfering with the Transcendent Body breakthrough. Ultimately, the two had given in, and then the Transcendent Body had upgraded. But now, the Stellar Constellation and the Transcendent Body were both of the same status, and thus neither was giving in to the other.
He attempted to use the void flame to calm them down, but they didn’t care about the flame at all.
He wondered what to do now. Would this continue on forever? Surely not, right?
As he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something pop, it was his spiritual root. It had finally reached a critical point. He felt the spiritual root transform into a black hole like before and start violently vacuuming all nearby spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu saw a chance.
He redirected all the energy the two physiques’ fighting was producing thanks to his reactor-like body, feeding it all to the spiritual root.
As he did this, the physiques seemed to be slowly calming down.
He continued feeding even more of the energy to it, plus energy from the outside, and the now Immortal-grade spiritual root swallowed it all up.
...
As the spiritual root absorbed more and more energy, he felt his cultivation begin to shake once again. He waved his hand and summoned hundreds of immortal-grade spirit food. This wasn’t enough, he didn’t want any possibility of failure.
His body instantly transformed into his monster form, his blob-like body expanding and eating all the food in one gulp before transforming back into his human body. Xiang Yu thought to himself that he had done all the preparations.
He just hoped this was enough.
Usually, one would get qi poisoning from eating such high amounts of spirit food, but since his spiritual root was in overdrive at the moment, he should be able to get away with it.
And the breakthroughs began.
Soul Formation second layer, third layer, fifth layer, ninth layer, tenth layer.
Although the experience required for the tenth layer was a lot - a billion to be exact - it still wasn’t enough to stop him. The experience meter filled in just a few seconds, then he entered the Void Realm, having already fulfilled the other conditions.
He then began breaking through rapidly once again.
Second layer Void Realm, fifth layer Void Realm, ninth layer Void Realm. At this point, the overcharge of the spiritual root was beginning to run out. Tenth layer Void Realm, he entered before the spiritual root finally calmed down.
He was a little disappointed that he hadn’t managed to cross the final gap.
Letting out a sigh, he thought to himself that this should be enough though.
Since he had consumed all the excess energy the two bodies were producing in their fight for dominance, they had calmed down a bit, waiting for the first one to advance before they could. After entering the Void Realm, it had resonated with his stellar physique, causing it to start advancing.
He felt his internals start rearranging slowly, his body beginning to transform to accommodate the new level. His qi pathways were enhanced and he gained more than double the constellation points, enhancing his reaction efficiency considerably.
Inside his spiritual sea, he had made a hundred stars.
Although he had the capacity for more, he had instead chosen to make a hundred big ones for more efficiency. Now, with the stellar body upgrade, this efficiency had been boosted even more, allowing him to do even more with just little effort.
He exhaled deeply as the effects of the upgrade calmed down.
He thought to himself that although the upgrade hadn’t brought any new abilities, it was still insane. His efficiency in carrying out reactions had increased by more than ten times.
He looked at his body.
He wasn’t using the void silk to cover up his skin, so the reactions happening were all visible through his skin. He thought to himself he really needed to raise his body refining, otherwise, if his body couldn’t hold all this, the world might be erased from existence along with him.
