Chapter 443: The End Of Body Refining?
Xiang Yu looked at his system screen for any changes. Just like before with the stellar physique, the system seemed to have named his bloodline and species. Well, he didn’t really care as he received a reward which he quickly used to advance the cultivation library to immortal level.
He would look into it later.
For now, he was more interested in the bloodline he had gotten.
To think that the system would actually name this bloodline the absolute source. Even though it had reached the primordial rank, wasn’t this too much? He decided to look into the bloodline abilities to see why it was like this.
When he saw the benefits, he could only say that it was indeed the only bloodline worthy of such a name.
First, it gave him incredible affinity with all concepts in existence, including the absolute source concept. This meant that he could easily grasp all these concepts.
He also received an ability similar to the one from his void bloodline where he would always revive as long as there was void. Now, he would always revive as long as there was existence or non-existence. Since these were the two states of existence, then he would always revive.
But this wasn’t even important as his regeneration had increased to the level that he wouldn’t be completely destroyed unless someone used absolute end on him.
It was an ability that anchored him to existence and allowed him to regenerate through it. As long as an existence negation skill like absolute end wasn’t used on him, he would always regenerate through this anchor. And even if someone erased this anchor through absolute end, he would still revive as long as there was existence or non-existence.
In short, for someone to truly kill him, they had to destroy the absolute source/end concept.
Now he was truly immortal.
Although this ability gave him confidence, he wasn’t so keen on trying it out.
Mostly because he didn’t know if he could really keep the system after he revived. Also, he admitted to himself that this didn’t give him invincibility. He would still receive damage, though for him he didn’t really care as it was just more exp.
What really bothered him was that he might be captured and dissected for research if the opponent realized he couldn’t kill him. So it was better not to go out and show off thinking he was invincible.
Apart from these, he also maintained all his other bloodline abilities, all at extremely high levels and without most of the weaknesses.
It even adapted some of the features from his bodies. Like from his transcendent dao body’s body optimization, he got absolute adaptation. This allowed him to endlessly adapt to any situation.
Like if someone couldn’t kill him and threw him into the absolute end, he could gradually adapt to it. Although he might die, this worked well with his revival ability where he would keep dying and reviving all while adapting to the situation until finally, he would no longer be phased by this.
He was already trying this out in his soul. He wasn’t really killing his soul, but he was taking it deeper into the absolute end than usual so it would be exposed to the absolute end and adapt to it. This was the only force that could erase his anchor to existence, so developing resistance early wouldn’t be a bad thing.
The bloodline also gave him the usual boost to physical power. Thanks to his absolute adaptability, he was already adapting to control his strength which was threatening to overwhelm him before.
As he was thinking of this, he suddenly noticed something strange in the system.
[Realm: Body: 100th Layer (^#@$*&/???)]
…
He felt that his power had definitely advanced, not just his base physical power, but also his body refining. But this didn’t show in the system. He wondered if something was wrong. He passed this train of thought to his research clones.
The bloodline also had a unique feature that mimicked the four mythical bloodlines. It was the evolution aspect. This allowed his bloodline to endlessly strengthen just like the mythical bloodlines. It also allowed him to devour bloodline essence from others and advance his bloodline.
Though he wasn’t really interested in doing that as it wasn’t his style. With his bloodline already advancing naturally, all that was left to do was activate his stellar constitution’s bloodline nucleosynthesis and let it continue growing even more.
With this, it wouldn’t be long before he broke through once again.
Speaking of, he wondered what breakthrough there was beyond progenitor.
No, in this case, it was a breakthrough in rank. So, from primordial rank to another rank. He decided to just name this source rank for consistency. If he reached that rank, maybe his species would really become that of the absolute source and not just an absolute source seed.
Speaking of, he looked at himself. He had been so excited he had forgotten to check his appearance. Since his species had changed, his true form was no longer that of a human.
Before, he had multiple true forms but usually defaulted to human, but now, his physiology had been changed completely by the bloodline.
He now looked just like the world core. Just a small blob about a foot tall. The only difference was that underneath his transparent skin, one could see countless stars with all sorts of colors.
Xiang Yu wondered why this was the true form of his species. Now that he thought about it, this form seemed to be everywhere. The world core was like this, and even the void flame seemed like this. If not for the huge tentacles, he was essentially just a big slime.
He wondered if the slime body was the ultimate form.
He thought of his human form and instantly assumed it.
If he really thought about it, it really felt like the ultimate form. It was extremely flexible and adaptable, allowing him to assume any form he wanted.
As he thought of this, he finally figured out the issue with his body refining. Basically, after advancing too much, he had reached the hard limit of body refining.
Well, at least the existing body refining. That was why the system showed random signs. It was because there were no more body refining layers, so the system didn’t know what to display.
His body refining was still increasing though.
To solve this problem, he just had to make new realms for body refining.
…
A/N: Don’t feel like repeating all the benefits of the other bodies so just know that they are strengthened to the extreme. I’ll show the abilities more when in use.
More powerups or go to next reset?
