Chapter 468: Source Level
A few hours later, Xiang Yu was finally able to relax as all the physiques finished unlocking and advanced to the tenth level.
He didn’t let his body cool down though and immediately selected them in the fusion function and pressed fuse.
Xiang Yu instantly felt the change happening within his body as the physiques merged together.
Unlocking the millions of physiques had already advanced his martial realm to the martial peak realm, but he still felt incredible pain as his body was torn apart and rewritten. The pain grew so intense that he eventually couldn’t maintain his human form and reverted back to his slime-like form.
His body stretched and twisted into all types of shapes and sizes, changing colors, developing spikes… It seemed as though he was going through a character selection screen in a video game.
This continued for five hours straight. Only then did he finally feel his body calming down.
As it settled, his bloodline also began stabilizing. That’s right – his bloodline had been advancing alongside his body. After unlocking the millions of bodies, the bloodline was already extremely stimulated, and now fusing the dao bodies pushed it the final step it needed:
[Name: Xiang Yu]
[Realm: Body: Martial Peak; Spirit: First Path Sage; Mind: Creator; Soul: Creator]
[Species: Absolute Source (Original)]
[Spiritual Root: Creator]
[Physique: Absolute Source Physique: Level 0 (1e1000/∞)]
[Bloodline: Absolute Source: Progenitor]
[Enlightenment: Creator]
[Battle Instinct: Creator]
[Soul Flame: Abyssal Void Flame: Creator]
[Professions: …]
[Intent: Palm: All Weapons Intent: Level 10]
[Techniques: …]
[Scriptures: …]
[Laws: 10 Million Laws: Complete Manifestation]
[Daos: Chaos, Stellar & Combat: Awakening (1e10/100,000e100); Absolute Source: Awakening (1e100/100,000e100)]
[System Function: Double Exp (Cooldown: 24hrs); Fusion; Battle Simulation; Cultivation Library]
Not only did his absolute source bloodline upgrade to the source level, he also unlocked the absolute source dao.
As he observed his stats, he noticed something strange with the newly unlocked absolute source physique. For some reason, the total required experience showed infinity.
He wondered what this meant. The level also showed zero.
Could it be that the physique couldn’t be upgraded? No, it should be possible.
If he took the dao level absolute source to the source realm, he felt his body would enter the level one mark. But this was so incredibly hard that it actually required infinite experience? He didn’t understand the logic behind this.
But when he thought about it, yeah, it seemed right. It was impossible to bring a dao level concept to the source level. Well, to others that is.
He guided the newly gained source power in his bloodline into the midst of primordial energy and it instantly began devouring it. With this source power, he should be able to upgrade his enlightenment to the source level and comprehend the source level concept inside the system, bypassing this limitation completely.
As he thought of this, he felt something in his soul and paid attention there.
His soul that was rushing more and more into the absolute end suddenly stopped.
“This is…” he looked at himself. He didn’t feel any damage.
When the body and bloodline were upgrading, he had felt that his soul was also receiving benefits. Could it be that it finally completed the upgrade?
…
He looked at his system and it confirmed it – he had a source level soul now.
At that moment, a sharp pain shot through his mind.
His spiritual sea then began trembling as more and more pressure was exerted onto it from the soul.
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth. The difference between source and creator was too huge.
Even so, he endured. As long as he endured, his adaptability trait from his now source level bloodline should be able to make his mind quickly evolve to contain this.
Slowly, he felt his mind adapting until finally, it also reached the source level. He was about to sigh in relief when his expression twisted to that of pure horror.
He then waved his hand and a clone instantly appeared before him. The new Xiang Yu turned to look at his main body in horror. His connection… had actually been cut off.
“What is happening?” he wondered. His memories from after a second ago were nonexistent and his connection to the main body had been cut.
At the same time, Li Yao appeared.
“Senior brother!” she shouted, hugging Xiang Yu’s main body. Her look was also that of pure terror.
“What’s happening?” Xiang Yu asked, but she didn’t respond and continued calling for her senior brother. Xiang Yu forcefully pulled her from his main body. “Hey, stop crying and explain what’s going on,” he said. Although she had just broken through to the first path sage realm after her heavenly dao body entered level ten, Xiang Yu could easily handle her with his martial peak level body.
“I… I don’t know. I just sensed that senior brother was in danger and rushed to help him,” she said between sobs.
Well, this wasn’t helpful.
Although Li Yao could sense when he was in danger, she mostly didn’t know the problem unless it was related to a woman. He needed to think of what was wrong and also find a solution. He was just about to become invincible and then this happens?
His main body had released him at the last second and disconnected him. There were some clones still in the sect and they seemed to also be unconscious. If that’s the case, then it could be seen that the issue was with the consciousness.
Because he was disconnected, he wasn’t affected.
He guessed it had something to do with source level mind. He remembered what the mind realm does – it expands the spiritual sea as well as awareness. He wondered if his body was unable to handle the source level awareness and it expanded infinitely, covering all of existence and nonexistence, thus overwhelming him.
If this was the case, then he was in deep trouble.
This was because he didn’t have anything in his currently doubling stats that could get him out of this predicament. Martial peak was the peak of martial arts, and although his main body was stronger than martial peak, it was like that intrinsically and not through martial arts. The only way was to use the source power to strengthen himself to the source level. But now that he was cut off from the main body, he couldn’t use this.
“Fuck… I’m really cooked this time.”
