The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 450 - 366: World Combat Power Rankings, Eleventh, Lu Yuan_1
In the Perfect State of Second Limit Break, combined with the empowered Double Flower Fusion Secret Skill, my ultimate combat strength skyrocketed to the point where I could shatter a God Level Mecha barehanded...
Lu Yuan reflected on his recent attack, which surprised even himself.
Of course, the power of that strike was also related to the enhancement of [End Skills - Formless].
The foundation of the [Without Form] technique originated from all the skills and moves on his class panels.
As his class panel skills were unlocked and enhanced, the power of [Without Form] naturally increased as well.
The Perfect State of Second Limit Break... I no longer look like a [Demon] in this state...
Lu Yuan looked at the platinum-gold hair that cascaded around his body, smooth and lustrous as silk, emitting a strange radiance in the sunlight. He thought, I’ll name the Perfect State of Second Limit Break: [God].
The [God] form.
This idea had occurred to him earlier.
Therefore, the move that pierced the Ice God Mecha and instantly killed the Tier 8 pilot was named by him: [God. Formless].
On one hand, it signified the [Formless] technique executed in the [God] form.
On the other hand, it was also a small nod to his past ambition of creating the Martial God Atlas.
[God. Formless] has given me many new inspirations; there can be more, and stronger, derivations beyond [Without Form]...
When he executed the [God. Formless] technique, the black hole in Lu Yuan’s mind seemed to open for a moment. Instantly, a torrent of inspiration and epiphanies surged forth, which, once fully processed and assimilated, might yield significant gains.
Of course, he was extremely exhausted now, utterly drained.
The simultaneous activation of the Perfect State of Second Limit Break and the Double Flower Fusion Secret Skill had completely emptied him.
His Blood Pill within his chest had shrunk drastically, leaving him incredibly weak in his normal state.
His platinum-gold hair, cascading past his ankles, lent him an almost ethereal, yet fragile, beauty.
Although Lu Yuan had immediately left the Ash Mountain Secret Realm after the battle, doing his utmost to distance himself from its location, no matter how far he fled, he remained within the Distant Star Federation’s sphere of influence.
Now, just looking at the Phoenix Egg beside him gave Lu Yuan a headache.
The Legendary Level aura emanating from this thing was impossible to suppress, like a giant beacon. It was only a matter of time before the Distant Star Federation used it to find him.
Should I find a place to hide this thing first? It’s not worth risking my life over an egg...
Lu Yuan suspected that if the Distant Star Federation caught him, they might send him directly to a human experimentation lab to be dissected and studied.
He held many secrets; the mass of Phoenix Life Essence within his body alone was enough to drive others to madness.
Besides, Lu Yuan himself wasn’t particularly interested in the Phoenix Egg.
He had obtained the true benefits from the volcanic incubator. This egg was destined to be "innately deficient," and whether it could even hatch successfully was questionable.
Most importantly, the Gugu Bird seemed to have gone inside the egg.
The Phoenix Egg now was far from what anyone had anticipated.
Lu Yuan pondered where it would be safest to hide the Phoenix Egg.
Just then, his expression suddenly shifted as if he had sensed something. He shot up from the ground and looked towards the sky.
Lu Yuan heard the sound of an approaching Fly Shuttle, its passage vibrating the air.
They’re too fast!
Lu Yuan grit his teeth slightly. In his [God] form, his flight speed was incredibly fast. Although it only lasted for a few tens of seconds, that was enough for him to cover a significant distance from the Secret Realm.
But he hadn’t expected the people from the Distant Star Federation to catch up so quickly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan picked up the Phoenix Egg and bolted.
He landed in a jungle. As he ran, a black liquid flowed from his mouth and nose – it was the nanosuit he had swallowed to protect it from the volcanic magma while absorbing the Phoenix Essence.
The nanosuit quickly enveloped his entire body, including the Phoenix Egg in his hand, camouflaging them to match the jungle’s colors.
His extremely long, platinum-gold hair was quite cumbersome. Lu Yuan summoned the Flame of the Azure to his fingertips and burned most of it away, returning to his short, choppy hairstyle.
Inside his chest, the First Turn Blood Pill spun frantically.
Within the Blood Pill, the golden Phoenix Essence, stimulated by his vital energy, continuously secreted a strange aura that merged with his very bones and blood.
The shrunken Blood Pill rapidly swelled, and even the experience bar on [The Fire Chaser.Flame of the Azure (Legendary)] class panel began to slowly increase.
Pressure was the best catalyst.
Lu Yuan’s condition improved steadily, and his running speed increased. Soon, the sound of the approaching Fly Shuttle was left far behind, beyond the range of his Spiritual Power.
However, as he burst out of the not-so-dense jungle, clutching the Phoenix Egg, he suddenly stopped.
Lu Yuan exhaled lightly, casually tossed the Phoenix Egg onto the ground, and slowly assumed a fighting stance.
There, outside the jungle, in front of him, a streamlined, silver-purple Fly Shuttle hovered silently, as if awaiting his arrival.
Only one Fly Shuttle. I don’t know if any ultra-long-range weaponry has me targeted... but as long as they’re not Tier 9, I have a chance to escape!
Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered as he rapidly planned various escape routes in his mind, simultaneously calculating the cooldown time of his [God] form.
PSSSH—
The hatch of the Fly Shuttle before him slowly opened, and Lu Yuan’s body tensed in response.
He focused his aura, his mind settling on his main combat class panels. His eyes narrowed, fixed intently on the hatch, ready to strike at any moment.
But the next second, Lu Yuan’s imposing aura abruptly froze.
A graceful and slender figure emerged from the hatch.
She wore a silver-white combat jumpsuit, her hair tied in a simple high ponytail. Her swan-like neck was elegant and exquisite, whiter and more flawless than the finest porcelain.
The filigree-patterned mask on her face slowly retracted, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with light purple pupils.
The newcomer smiled faintly at Lu Yuan and said, half-jokingly, "Not bad, Little Lu Yuan... Definitely the MVP of this round!"
Lu Yuan froze, blinking, then blurted out, "L-Lord Tong?!"
「 」
Two pieces of news, in less than half a day, spread like wildfire across the entire planet via the highly developed communication network, transmitted at the speed of light:
Phoenix Egg Discovered in the Legendary Level Ash Mountain Secret Realm!
Sum Country’s Demon Blade Barehandedly Defeats Distant Star Federation’s God Level Mecha!
Countless influential figures from factions large and small were shaken.
On one hand, they were thrilled by the first announcement. On the other, they were shocked and found the contents of the second utterly unbelievable.
Every God Level Mecha held absolute dominance among Tier 8 entities. They were symbols of hegemonic nations and a crucial benchmark for gauging their power and underlying strength.
Yet now, someone had actually defeated a God Level Mecha head-on, barehanded.
What did this imply?
It implied that on this planet, another powerhouse had emerged, one who stood at the apex of the world’s combat strength pyramid!
A Tier 9!
And a "Hidden Star" at that!
The impact of this news was no less significant than the appearance of the Phoenix Egg.
And the name "Lu Yuan" officially entered the radar of many influential people.
「 」
"Your name has appeared on the rankings,"
Inside the smoothly flying Fly Shuttle, Lu Yuan and Yu Wentong sat facing each other.
Yu Wentong casually "tossed" a virtual light screen towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan focused his gaze and saw it was the so-called "World Combat Strength Rankings."
It clearly displayed—[Eleventh: Sum Country, Lu Yuan. Estimated Combat Strength: Early Tier 9].
"Er..."
Lu Yuan was taken aback, unsure what to say.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I don’t think I’ve truly reached Tier 9... Without any buffs, my current normal combat strength is only at Tier 5. Activating my powerful main combat class panels allows me to reach Tier 7. In my Perfect State of Second Limit Break, I estimate my ultimate combat strength barely touches the Tier 9 threshold. Furthermore, only my [God. Formless] technique has reached Tier 9 combat strength. Without using [End Skills - Formless], my [God] form probably only has the combat strength of a high-Tier 8. And that’s not even considering that within the Legendary Level Secret Realm, the Ice God Mecha’s power was somewhat restricted. Plus, during the battle with the Ice God Mecha, its pilot largely underestimated me."
"That’s not important. You did indeed display true Tier 9 combat strength," Yu Wentong lightly tapped the light screen with a slender, jade-like finger and said, "You probably don’t know that an important criterion for measuring Tier 9 combat strength is the ability to go head-to-head against a God Level Mecha in a one-on-one confrontation... Various external factors were already calculated when compiling the rankings, which is why you’re only at eleventh."
Lu Yuan blinked. "So, does that mean the top ten on these rankings are all individuals with strength at Tier 9 or above?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Mm-hm."
Yu Wentong nodded and casually retracted the light screen.
Then she said to Lu Yuan, half-jokingly, "You’re truly remarkable, Little Lu Yuan. In terms of speed of advancement to Tier 9, on this planet, you’re the fastest in history. Even I was taken aback. When Yellow Bear and those old timers got the news, they nearly went mad with joy. They came straight to my door, dragged me into an emergency meeting about you, and it’s still not over. I can’t get away; they’re driving me crazy..."
As Yu Wentong spoke, she stretched and feigned a yawn.
Indeed, the Yu Wentong sitting before Lu Yuan was merely a holographic projection.
The real Yu Wentong was still in Sum Country. As Sum Country’s paramount combat power, Yu Wentong could not easily enter the Distant Star Federation’s territory.
However, the Fly Shuttle Lu Yuan was currently aboard was genuinely Lord Tong’s exclusive vehicle. Only Yu Wentong’s personal Fly Shuttle could evade the Distant Star Federation’s surveillance systems and covertly transport Lu Yuan and the Phoenix Egg back to Sum Country.
"Oh, by the way," Yu Wentong suddenly asked Lu Yuan, "have you reached your Evil Energy tolerance limit?"
"Evil Energy tolerance limit?!"
Lu Yuan was startled, not quite understanding.
Yu Wentong explained, "It’s whether you feel like you can no longer withstand any more Evil God Power."
Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I... don’t think so."
"Then that means there’s still room for growth!" Yu Wentong’s lovely eyes lit up. She reached out, patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder, and said approvingly, "Excellent, excellent! You should secure a spot in the top ten of the combat strength rankings with this. So far, the only person in the world capable of withstanding Evil God Power at Tier 9 or above is someone from the Distant Star Federation named Thor. You’re the second, and your upper limit might be even higher than his..."
Lu Yuan understood.
This so-called "Evil Energy tolerance limit" was likely the potential cap for a "Hidden Star."
The "Innate Evil Martial Physique" allowed for perfect fusion with Evil God Power, but it didn’t mean infinite fusion. Once an individual reached their fusion limit, their strength could no longer improve; they would stagnate, with no possibility of further advancement.
"Have you formally begun your training in The Origin Heart Sutra?" After praising Lu Yuan, Yu Wentong abruptly asked another question.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately felt a pang of guilt, but ultimately, he chose to answer honestly, "No."
