The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 462 - 376: 【Divine Weapon】【Universe Fire】, He Looked at Me and I Died_1
"What on earth is this?"
Lu Yuan held his nose and asked Liu what was in the bowl, skeptically suggesting Liu coveted his title as ’Number One Under Heaven’ and was plotting to poison him to usurp it.
Master Liudao Yuan rolled his eyes and said he could drink it or not, then couldn’t be bothered to look at him again.
Quietly, Liu Si, who held the medicinal tonic, told Lu Yuan that the bowl contained a concoction specially prepared by Master Liudao Yuan to invigorate his blood, strengthen his marrow, and replenish his foundational vitality.
The tonic contained many priceless herbs, unobtainable with money, all of which Liu had ’procured’ or ’borrowed’ from others.
"Okay then."
Lu Yuan steeled himself and took a sip.
He could feel the medicinal power transforming into an almost imperceptible warm current within his body, seeping into the Blood Pill in his chest.
He couldn’t help but feel that for him, Liu’s tonic was about as effective as giving a cancer patient a 999 Cold Relief.
But it was Liu’s kind sentiment, nonetheless. He gulped down the tonic in one go, then closed his eyes and leaned back in the lounge chair to introspect.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Age: 17]
[Strength: 35 (Break the Limit 2)]
[Agility: 35 (Break the Limit 2)]
[Constitution: 35 (Break the Limit 2)]
[Intelligence: 37 (Break the Limit 2)]
After the battle with Roya, he had used 3 attribute points to temporarily increase his intelligence by 1, and his intelligence attribute had now reached 37.
Based on a comparative conversion of Spiritual Power intensity, his normal strength was around the mid-Sixth Rank.
As Yu Wentong had said, by activating the "Three Flowers Gathering on Top" secret technique while in his [God] form, he had pushed his Life Energy to an uncontrollable peak. This had consumed a vast amount of his Life Origin—in other words, his lifespan.
Though the values on his attribute panel hadn’t changed at all, Lu Yuan’s body had indeed suffered a huge deficit.
For instance, his hair had turned white.
The Blood Pill in his chest had shrunk to only half its original size.
This was his state even after consuming the vial of ultra-pure "Longevity Materials" Yu Wentong had given him, and despite the continuous replenishment from the Phoenix Essence deep within his Blood Pill.
Perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as I thought...
Lu Yuan recalled that when he first discovered he was on the verge of disintegration, he hadn’t possessed a strong will to live.
Perhaps it was because a mass of undigested Phoenix Life Essence still resided within his body.
He felt that even if that ’shutdown’ state had persisted, he wouldn’t necessarily have died.
The Phoenix Life Essence within him might have acted as a hidden second health bar, granting him a second ’life.’
Just like a Phoenix’s nirvana, reborn from the ashes.
Is it like a resurrection coin?
Lu Yuan looked at the eye-patterned seal Yu Wentong had left in his mind. He thought that, if necessary, he could activate "Three Flowers Gathering on Top" again.
However, such an opportunity would likely only come once.
The main issue is that my four Basic Attributes are too low. I couldn’t withstand the extreme excavation of my life potential by both the [God] state and the "Three Flowers Gathering on Top" ultimate secret technique. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost control of my body...
So, the key to solving the problem was still attribute points.
Lu Yuan checked his current attribute points and skill points; he had 2 of each remaining.
This was because, after a series of intense battles, his [Martial Arts Master (Extraordinary)] class had leveled up again, reaching Lv11.
That’s nowhere near enough. If only I had another chance to enter Ash Mountain...
Lu Yuan sighed internally.
Unfortunately, he was currently in a state of "Fake Death Silence" and couldn’t return to Ash Mountain.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and felt his only option was to find ways to earn attribute points from his various sub-class panels.
He hadn’t paid much attention to the [Spear Holder (Extraordinary)] class before. He could visit the Mosa Religion when he had time.
[Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] could also be leveled up intensively. If he performed [Chaos Divination] more frequently in his spare time, its class level should also rise quickly.
And there was also [Weapons Master]...
It’s good to be in this quiescent state. I can use this time to properly organize my various power systems...
Lu Yuan also recalled seeking help from the Crow God Lamashtu after his encounter with the Lady of Nightmares. Lamashtu had shown him a dream: the Netherworld River sweeping across the Starry Sky.
He hadn’t carefully pondered its specific meaning.
Could this be the key to dealing with the troublesome Lady of Nightmares?
As Lu Yuan thought, he browsed through his various class panels.
He then used the two skill points he had saved to unlock the advanced skills for [Grandmaster Domain] and [Grandmaster Universe Qi] on his [Martial Arts Master (Extraordinary)] panel, both of which had already been upgraded to Lv5.
Lv5 [Grandmaster Domain] — Lv1 [Divine Weapon]!
Lv5 [Grandmaster Universe Qi] — Lv1 [Universe Fire]!
"Domain Divine Weapon! Grandmaster Universe Fire!"
Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up as he saw these two newly unlocked skills. He immediately activated [Grandmaster Meditation Battle] and entered the Consciousness Space.
The scene was virtually unchanged: a spacious training arena paved with bluestone. Lu Yuan randomly selected someone as his Imaginary Enemy.
Oh... it was Master Liudao Yuan.
"Come, come, Liu..." Lu Yuan called out to Master Liudao Yuan, who stood not far away with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at him expressionlessly. "Let me show you the true Divine Skills of a Grandmaster."
He decided to test [Divine Weapon] first.
Lu Yuan attempted to activate it.
A copious amount of Spiritual Power surged from the candied-fruit-sized Spiritual Power core in his mind.
In an instant, Lu Yuan felt countless, densely packed golden specks of light silently materialize around his body.
These golden specks of light instantly converged, coalescing into a brilliantly gleaming... short sword!
The gleaming golden short sword could only be perceived by Spiritual Power.
To the naked eye, only a small, faint, transparent distortion was visible where it hovered.
So that’s what the name [Divine Weapon] means...
Lu Yuan’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with profound awe.
A weapon condensed from spiritual thought, hence the name Divine Weapon!
Previously, the [Grandmaster Domain] was primarily used for defense and crowd control. After advancing, it had directly transformed into a powerful offensive tool.
A potent art for attacking an opponent’s Mental Will!
Lu Yuan wanted to test the sharpness of this [Divine Weapon]. With a turn of his thoughts, the golden short sword formed from Spiritual Power vanished instantly.
This was a speed faster than light, faster than electricity.
The speed of thought.
BANG!
Almost in the instant Lu Yuan’s thought formed, the head of Master Liudao Yuan—his nearby Imaginary Enemy—immediately exploded. Electronic components and a gruesome mess of brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.
"My bad, my bad..."
Lu Yuan felt a pang of guilt and hastily switched his Imaginary Enemy.
From Second Rank to Third Rank... all the way to Ninth Rank.
Lu Yuan tested the [Divine Weapon] against each one.
He eventually found that with his current Sixth-Rank Spiritual Power intensity, opponents of the same rank could generally be insta-killed with one strike.
Seventh-Rank opponents would take but two hits.
Against those above the Eighth Rank, an unexpected strike like that would still induce various adverse symptoms like splitting headaches, nausea, and convulsions.
The impact on Ninth-Rank individuals was relatively minor, but not entirely negligible.
The crucial part was...
This skill is only Lv1?!
Lu Yuan was truly astonished. He gazed in awe at the [Divine Weapon] orbiting him—like a flowing golden light, appearing and vanishing at his merest thought.
It’s just like a flying sword from a novel! No, it’s even more tyrannical!
This was because against an attack that directly targeted Spiritual Power, any energy shielding or even a Super God Level Mecha’s chassis was practically useless.
It was simply indefensible.
A true divine skill that allows me to dominate those at the same rank and challenge those at higher ranks! From now on, I won’t even need to use my fists. A single glare could kill my opponent...
Lu Yuan exclaimed internally with pleasant surprise.
Discovering such a potent trump card among ordinary class skills was quite rare. This was definitely the most unexpected one for him.
However, if an opponent’s Mental Will is exceptionally strong, or if they possess corresponding Spiritual Power defenses, the effectiveness of the [Divine Weapon] will be greatly diminished...
Lu Yuan recalled the instances when Yu Wentong had acted.
Whether it was the Star Map seal she had left in his mind or the technique she used to immobilize two Ninth-Rank powerhouses from the Distant Star Federation with a mere blink, both were likely related to Spiritual Power.
Yu Wentong’s spiritual attack methods likely originate from her Star Map...
Lu Yuan mused. By that logic, there might be quite a few individuals in the cosmos outside this planet with similar attack methods. I can only really run rampant on this planet, leveraging the [Divine Weapon]’s advantage...
Thinking this, much of the joy in Lu Yuan’s heart dissipated.
After all, it’s just an ordinary class skill, albeit a somewhat more powerful one...
Casually dismissing the [Divine Weapon], Lu Yuan proceeded to test the effects of [Universe Fire].
Upon activating the skill, platinum Universe Qi surged from his countless pores, coalescing into an alluring, vibrant platinum flame.
This flame flowed and danced in Lu Yuan’s palm, yet it emitted no discernible heat.
But when Lu Yuan casually flicked a spark, letting it land on the ground...
BOOM!
A large crater was instantly blasted into the ground, its edges bearing scorch marks as if seared by intense fire.
This is super-concentrated Universe Qi. Its lethality and destructive power have increased manyfold...
Lu Yuan concluded.
He experimented briefly. With the augmentation of [Universe Fire], he found he could now, in his normal state, barely manage to tear through the chassis of a Sky-level Mecha with his bare hands.
Although it’s significantly weaker than the Flame of the Azure, [Universe Fire] will strengthen as my constitution improves. It has future potential...
Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with both advanced skills from the [Martial Arts Master (Extraordinary)] class panel.
This made him eagerly anticipate the advanced skill of [Grandmaster Dharma Body].
Once [Grandmaster Dharma Body] also unlocked its advanced skill, the second class core for his [Martial Arts Master (Extraordinary)] class panel should also form.
I’ve already witnessed the power of the Three Flowers. The next stage... the Five Qi... what kind of profound and incredible wonders will they bring?
A gleam in his eyes, Lu Yuan exited the Consciousness Space.
Opening his eyes, he found Liu was no longer beside him. He had, at some point, moved to the training grounds and appeared to be instructing his newly accepted ’legacy’ female disciple in Crane Sect martial arts.
When Liu saw Lu Yuan rise from the lounge chair, his instructional voice abruptly stopped. He tossed a "keep practicing" to the pair before him, then turned and called out to Lu Yuan, "Dinner!" before striding off the training grounds.
"Coming, coming..."
Lu Yuan responded lazily.
He had been coming to Linghe Pavilion to ’recuperate’ during this period. Although Liu grumbled daily, he was genuinely pleased.
With Lu Yuan joining him for meals, Liu managed an extra two bowls every time.
Liu truly treated him like his own grandson, rarely home for a visit.
Lu Yuan slowly followed Liu off the training grounds, but a pair of large, curious eyes stared at his back.
"Mrs. Zhuang."
The young girl, having just finished her special training, gazed at Lu Yuan’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but ask Zhuang Xiujie beside her.
"Is this the legendary Little Senior Brother of our Crane Sect that you all talk about so often?"
"Yes."
Zhuang Xiujie nodded.
The young girl murmured, "So, just how strong is he? All of you say he’s the most formidable figure in the history of the Ancient Martial Arts World... but looking at him... this Little Senior Brother doesn’t seem all that impressive."
Zhuang Xiujie shot the girl a cold glance, then said flatly, "Don’t you possess Brain Divine Power? Why not simulate a fight with him as your opponent and see for yourself?"
"Try then, try..."
The young girl mumbled, somewhat unconvinced, then narrowed her eyes, a strange light glinting within them.
Half a breath later.
As if struck by lightning, the girl stumbled violently and fell backward, landing hard on the ground.
Utter shock and terror were written all over her pale, pretty face.
"Well?"
Zhuang Xiujie looked at her and asked calmly.
The girl sat limply on the ground, stunned, staring blankly in the direction Lu Yuan had left. Her lips quivered, but no sound emerged.
After a long moment.
She finally managed to stammer out a sentence.
"Little... Little Senior Brother... just glanced at me...
And I died."
