Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 738 - 685: Refining
Chapter 738 -685: Refining
Lin Rui’s primary consciousness descended into his alien body and immediately donned the ‘Hidden Dragon’ armor crafted by Skull Mechanic Sky Monarch Li Gu Chan. Using a set of quantum transfer equipment hidden beneath the Governor Mansion, he arrived at the Ming Sect’s main temple.
Lin Rui actually also controlled several backup passageways to enter the main temple, but quantum transfer was the most convenient and safest.
Other methods, whether curvature navigation or wormhole traversal, could potentially be sensed and interfered with by others.
Upon arriving at the plaza behind the main temple, named ‘Guang Ming Paradise,’ Lin Rui discovered not only a fully prepared Array Altar but also a cleared venue.
This vast marble plaza contained only Bright Sage Master Gong Bonan, Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling, Dharma King Bai Xishi, and the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy, alongside nine ‘Light Saints’ and thirty-six ‘Red Priests.’
Among them, Gong Bonan, Zhao Chongling, and Heavenly Fragrance were tasked with protecting the ‘Ming King.’ The assembled ‘Light Saints’ and ‘Red Priests’ were there to lend their support, while Dharma King Bai Xishi oversaw the Protecting Sect Divine Army, sealing off ‘Guang Ming Paradise’ inside and out.
Gong Bonan took this transaction very seriously.
If it were up to him, he would not have wanted the ‘Ming King’ to take such risks.
However, His Majesty the Ming King insisted on this course, and that second General from the Outer Heaven Demon Security Bureau proposed highly favorable terms.
Lin Tianchen not only offered top-tier medicines and war machines worth nearly ten trillion federal coins as compensation for Ming King’s efforts but also made a promise to Shancai Divine Envoy and signed a Divine Contract.
As long as the current ‘Ming King’ remained in power, Lin Tianchen pledged to sell approximately 200 billion worth of Heavenly Demon materials monthly via the Forest Group’s fleet channels to the Guang Ming Sect.
Thus, this transaction was critical to the increasingly dire situation of the Guang Ming Sect.
Gong Bonan had no choice but to give his all to construct the Array Altar for the Ming King, planning meticulously to ensure the Ming King’s safety and mitigate risks.
Lin Rui surveyed the surroundings and appeared quite surprised: “An electronic altar? Was it you, Sage Master, who created this?”
The core component of this altar turned out to be a metal altar powered by electricity.
Gong Bonan possessing such skills to forge an electronic altar? Unbelievable!
With a calm demeanor, Gong Bonan replied, “This is a formation diagram I designed alongside several Saints, named the ‘Universal Dharma Pivot.’ Theoretically, this can repeatedly serve as the core for all large-scale spells and formations, saving future setup costs.”
Seeing the incredulous and puzzled look in Lin Rui’s eyes, Gong Bonan patiently explained further, “We Guang Ming Sages abide by the teachings of the Seventh Generation Sect Leader: never rigidly stick to tradition or stagnate. We’ve been studying the talismanic arrays of the Heavenly Demons, drawing from their strengths to compensate for our weaknesses.
The design for the ‘Universal Dharma Pivot’ was completed thirty years ago, but we lacked the financial resources to realize it. This opportunity came thanks to the generosity of the Heavenly Demon General, who provided all the needed spell materials. Thus, we took advantage of this opportunity to forge it.”
Lin Rui’s lips twitched as he recalled the material list Gong Bonan had given him.
He had felt something was off with the list at the time but hadn’t looked into it deeply.
Turns out, the General was truly being bled dry.
Lin Rui shook his head, ascending step by step to the Radiant Holy Altar and taking his seat on the altar’s summit.
The ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’ instantly spread outward, transforming into a lotus with twelve petals, elevating Lin Rui’s form.
Those below the altar beheld this scene and couldn’t help but let their eyes gleam with awe.
No matter how many times they witnessed the Ming King’s ascension, they were genuinely struck by the divine mystique.
The sacred flame, imbued with the will of twenty-seven billion believers, became docile as a puppy under the feet of a mere Sixth Realm Ming King.
Moreover, whether by illusion or reality, over the past two months since the Ming King ascended, the holy flames on the Radiant Holy Altar had seemed purer and brighter.
“Begin!”
Lin Rui clasped his hands together, forming a Dharma Seal: “Let’s not keep him waiting.”
At that moment, three drops of fresh blood flew out from his sleeves.
It was the Essence Blood provided by Lin Tianchen, meant to guide Lin Rui in locating his True Spirit.
Essence Blood is not something given lightly; if entrusted to the wrong individual, the consequences could be disastrous.
Lin Tianchen had no choice but to hand over his Essence Blood under duress.
The altar controlled by Gong Bonan began to activate, while the nine ‘Light Saints’ and thirty-six ‘Red Priests’ on the altar were consumed by luminous Holy White Flames.
Their vitality, their strength, their Divine Sense—all converged onto Lin Rui.
Gradually, four Holy White Flame Dragons took form around Lin Rui. Holding the Dharma Seal, he closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, his vision had shifted to another realm.
This domain was a boundless void, yet hidden within the void were ghostly phantoms, with countless unsettling, chaotic gazes falling on him from every direction.
As Lin Rui attempted to examine these phantoms and gazes, sacred white flames suddenly ignited around him and piercing screams erupted.
“That’s a God!”
“It’s the Abyss!”
“Such intense light, such scorching thunder and fire!”
“So painful, so painful! He wants to burn us alive!”
In an instant, the phantoms and gazes vanished without a trace.
Lin Rui looked around once more, scanning himself.
He realized his body was now ethereal, devoid of physical substance, enveloped by white Divine Flames, sitting upon a sacred Fire Lotus imbued with immense Thunder Power.
Lin Rui immediately understood he had entered the ‘Heavenly Curtain.’ This soul body was but a fragment of his soul within the Heavenly Curtain.
Federation soul scholars had long discovered that all living beings inside and outside Sky Extreme Star had a portion of their soul imprinted and extracted by the Heavenly Curtain and Root at birth.
When Martial Cultivators reached the Ninth Realm’s ‘Divine Illumination,’ they could ‘illuminate’ their True Spirit into the Heavenly Curtain, merging with it to strengthen their spiritual connection and transform it into a True Spirit.
Thus, ‘Quantum Jump Technology’ was widely utilized within Sky Extreme Star.
Quantum Jump essentially leveraged quantum entanglement phenomena to transmit information and matter, pre-configuring entangled quantum states in the target zone to reassemble matter, bodies, and even a person’s soul.
This long-distance transmission technology effectively evaded the Abyss’s and top-tier experts’ perceptions but was prohibited in other Federation star domains.
Without the Heavenly Curtain of Sky Extreme Star, who could guarantee that the ‘person’ restored from transmission genuinely remained themselves?
Lin Rui now observed himself adorned with intricate networks of countless destiny threads, varying in size and color, stretching outward in all directions.
“These must be traces of destiny!”
Lin Rui’s gaze followed these threads: “I am the Abyss, influencing the fate of many individuals, especially my closest companions and those twenty-seven billion Light believers. So many destiny lines converging form a miniature sun, or a whirlpool, drawing others toward me.
The higher my cultivation and the stronger I become in the future, the larger the whirlpool will grow. My existence will alter and impact everyone’s fate, perhaps even dictate their life and death. Hmm~”
In the dark void, Lin Rui ‘saw’ a crimson trace of light.
The end of the light trace led to a layer of crimson light curtain.
“That must be the Knowledge Barrier!” freёweɓnovel.com
Lin Rui was determined to uncover this light curtain layer today and investigate what’s hidden beneath.
However, Lin Tianchen’s matter remained a higher priority, and Lin Rui decided against alarming anyone. He merely glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze.
But even this brief glance caused the crimson curtain to tremble.
Following the Essence Blood’s guidance, Lin Rui trailed toward Lin Tianchen’s True Spirit.
After about two hundred breaths, Lin Rui arrived before a palace.
It was a colossal yet utterly dilapidated palace.
The structure floated lonesomely in the void, its cracked walls bearing the ravages of time, ruined almost beyond recognition and teetering on collapse.
Ahead were two half-open massive stone doors, carved with dragon-beast totems and formation patterns. Though blurry, traces of extraordinary craftsmanship from the ancients could still be discerned.
Through the crevices of the doors, one could glimpse piles of broken glass tiles, decayed wooden beams, and a grayish mist permeating the air, carrying an eerie sense of mystery.
From within came faint, ghostly murmurs.
Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, pondering if this was the Ancient God’s ‘Divine Country?’
So the Abyssal beings’ so-called ‘Divine Country’ was structured like this? Condensing soul energy from the Heavenly Curtain into near-physical form to construct a god’s domain?
Lin Rui quickly dispelled his musings.
The power and authority he wielded now were thanks to Lin Tianchen’s generous donation of spell materials and ‘Ether Origin Stones,’ as well as the immense vitality and Soul Power contributed by the nine ‘Light Saints’ and thirty-six ‘Red Priests.’
Thus, it was time to focus on the main task. It wasn’t yet the right moment to probe the structure of the Divine Country since Lin Rui was far from becoming a true Abyssal entity.
With a single thought, the Divine Flames burning across Lin Rui’s body flared even more intensely, while the ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’ beneath him extended outward to form three tiers of Fire Lotus stacked one atop the other.
Simultaneously, a massive Thunder Spear, entirely composed of lightning and burning with Holy White Flames, began to materialize beside Lin Rui.
The so-called ‘Divine Country’ is a realm created by divine beings within the Heavenly Curtain.
Within their realms, gods possess absolute power and authority!
Even if the god has perished, their Divine Country remains exceedingly formidable, as evidenced by Lin Tianchen’s personal experiences.
Thus, Lin Rui had no intention of entering this abandoned Divine Country. His approach to drawing out Lin Tianchen’s True Spirit was straightforward—using god-like power to destroy the enormous palace.
As Lin Rui prepared to strike, a commanding, dignified voice swept into his Primordial Spirit.
“Who are you? A newly risen Demigod, why do you seek to oppose me?”
Before Lin Rui could respond, his Battle Spirit Ring issued a prompt.
Prompt: The residue of the Ancient God’s consciousness has launched a pursuit and attack on your physical body. It has been injured by the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Radiant Holy Altar. Would you like to spend three hundred thousand soul power points to refine the Essence Soul fragments left by the Ancient God’s consciousness within your physical body?
Lin Rui’s pupils dilated instantly, realizing just how formidable the Abyssal entities were. They had already traced back to his physical body?
Thankfully, his preparations were thorough; otherwise, he would have met disaster.
Lin Rui’s eyes turned sharp as he unhesitatingly chose “Agree,” while simultaneously hurling the colossal Thunder Spear beside him.
