Chapter 1804 - 156: The Conclusion, Innate Spiritual Light, and Soaring Strength! (2)

Then, he looked at the panel.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale + (Eight Times Break Limit 90000/90000) (Trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Gold) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Light Gold) Dragon Body (Light Gold))

"No more hesitations! Enhance strength first, then consider other plans! Without strength, everything is just empty talk!"

Seeing the changes on the panel now, he no longer had any hesitations in his heart.

The body is boundless, the spirit unrestrained.

Endlessly expanding, endlessly elevating.

The path he must walk is to strengthen both body and spirit.

The breakthrough in Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill is not wasted on him at all.

Moreover, it currently impacts his combat power the most significantly.

The next moment.

With a thought, his Source Points on the panel instantly decreased by 500 points.

[Source Points]: 173.3

At the same time, a long dragon roar echoed inside his body, vibrating in his tendons, bones, and flesh, vibrating in his Spirit Platform and Primordial Spirit.

This sound was everywhere, filling his whole body.

Then, he suddenly felt a clear and ancient aura, as if it existed since the beginning of time, coming from the deepest part of his body.

This aura was neither Qi-Blood, nor True Yuan, nor spirit, but a tiny, almost undetectable yet brilliant and eternal "light" containing endless potential for transformation.

This bit of "light" lit up in the void within his heart, illuminating his entire body inside and out, his flesh, bones, organs, even every strand of thought.

Inside and outside his whole body, were washed and illuminated by this light at this moment.

A transformation, sublimation, and even a transcendental feeling surged from the deepest part of his body.

The whole process felt like an eternity and yet lasted only a moment.

Afterward, he felt an indescribable sensation on his body, as if his connection with heaven and earth had become even closer.

He felt that with each breath, he could seem to draw in the purest hint of spiritual mechanism in the world.

With each breath, his body inside and out was improving accordingly.

His Essence Qi, spirit, and vitality, all were being stirred.

Feeling the various mysterious changes inside his body, he slowly opened his eyes, the divine light in them clear as a mirror yet deep as an abyss.

At this moment, his entire aura became increasingly harmonious and natural, as if merging into the surrounding environment while remaining subtly above it.

He looked at the panel.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale (Nine Times Limit-Breaking 548/100000) (Trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Gold) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Light Gold) Dragon Body (Deep Gold) Innate Spiritual Light (Light Gold))

[Innate Spiritual Light (Light Gold)]: A bit of Innate Spiritual Light, illuminating the True Spirit without obscurity. Favored by heaven and earth, this is the Innate Spiritual Light.

"Innate Spiritual Light." he murmured to himself.

Then, he immediately closed his eyes, carefully feeling the changes in his body.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He roughly understood in his heart.

Innate Spiritual Light, a term recorded in the ancient books.

The first True Spirit in heaven and earth, all ancestors and all Innate Spirits in the world, possess Innate Spiritual Light.

This Spiritual Light influences the body, comprehension, roots, talents, and will enhance one’s strength even while breathing and sleeping.

Any Innate Spirit, as long as they live long enough, will grow into an incomparably powerful existence.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Ning’s heart calmed with the passage of time.

"Obtaining a bit of Innate Spiritual Light has a greater impact on my foundation and future potential than the present!" he thought to himself, another thought flashing by, "But it is not without assistance either, having the Innate Spiritual Light on me, my body has already undergone a transformation. Coupled with the breakthrough in Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, my current combat strength should see a decent improvement."

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, tightly gripping the silver halberd he had just inserted into the ground.

"It’s time for the final test." His gaze fell onto the last part of the heavenly soldier’s remains on the ground, the torso that he had just cleaved in two.

Holding the silver halberd, he walked forward.

Inside his body, the power of the Dragon and Tiger intersection and the Heart Tribulation Fire erupted again.

In an instant, he felt different.

The explosive power gained from the recent breakthrough, coupled with the power of the Dragon and Tiger intersection and the Heart Tribulation Fire, surged within him.

Previously, although he could perfectly control and exert these powers.

But at this moment, he felt a mastery on another level. With each breath and thought, he perfectly commanded his bodily power, Qi-Blood, and other forces, as if they were meant to be united.

This sensation wasn’t about exerting one’s full strength but about surpassing it to twelve out of ten.

Feeling the changes within himself, he slightly raised his arm, the silver halberd lightly quivering, as if in harmony with his intentions.

Then he let out a low shout, and the silver halberd turned into an extremely condensed silver light.

The silver light sliced through the void, incomparably smooth, smoother than ever before.

The air was cut like tofu, silent and without a trace.

Swoosh!!!

Then there was a light sound.

This time, the sound was different from the previous explosive clash of metal.

With this strike, the edge of the silver halberd sliced into the decayed wood-like body of the heavenly soldier effortlessly, smoothly cutting apart half of the soldier’s remains.

The severed area was as smooth as a mirror, without any shards splattering.

The scar was five inches deep.

The remaining body of the heavenly soldier was connected only by a thin metal sheet.

After a glance, he swung the halberd again. Just as effortlessly, he sliced the other half of the heavenly soldier’s remains in two!

Crack——

The previously indestructible heavenly soldier’s remains now broke apart at the sound of the strike, split in two by him.

"Great progress, huge improvement!!"

Looking at the heavenly soldier’s remains he had perfectly cut, he felt a bit invigorated.

Judging by his current performance, his strength had risen to a whole new level from two days ago.

Now, if he faced his self from two days ago, he was confident he could easily dominate and prevail.

Facing the two heavenly soldiers now, he could confront them head-on in peak condition and achieve annihilation just like this moment.

"Now, I am truly the second in the world!!"

Reflecting on the progress of these past two days, he was filled with emotion.

Then, he grasped the silver halberd with both hands.

One hand on the shaft, the other on the tail, he exerted himself forcefully.

His arm muscles tightened, the lines clearly defined, and the great tendons inside his body vibrated like dragons.

After several breaths.

Whew——

He exhaled long and deep, gasping lightly.

"Looks like I’ve overestimated myself. With my current strength, breaking the silver halberd and bending it is impossible!" He chuckled to himself.

Then, he suddenly opened his mouth wide.

A terrifying swallowing force emerged, and the silver halberd in his hand rapidly shrank, devoured into his abdomen.

Then, he absorbed the heavenly soldier’s body he’d divided into four, the pieces also shrank and disappeared into his mouth like rivers flowing into the sea.

Gulp——

A clear sense of fullness arrived.

He immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused, activating the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.

Inside his abdomen, the vast silver substance rapidly decomposed into a pure and magnificent silver energy flow.

Then it merged into the vigorous and tyrannical power, refining the muscles and bones throughout his body.

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +7124]

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +6983]

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +7211]

[...]

The efficiency of the refinement had grown yet again.

After a long time, the silver energy in his abdomen was completely absorbed, leaving only a few gray-white remnants.

He opened his eyes, gaze clear and profound, his aura harmonious and full, the treasures within glowing subtly.

Then he exhaled a long breath of impure energy, the impure energy flowing with a faint silver sheen, then dissipating into the air.

[Source Points +223.5]

"Over two hundred points, not bad!" he nodded silently.

Looking at the panel then.

[Source Points]: 396.8

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Nine times limit-breaking 68756/100000) (Traits: Whale Swallowing (Deep Gold) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Light Gold) Dragon Body (Deep Gold) Innate Spiritual Light (Light Gold))

"My Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill experience has reached over sixty-eight thousand, and my Source Points have accumulated to nearly four hundred." He felt assured.

The surplus of source points was indeed not much, but his strength was incomparable to before.

His prowess had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

He then stood up, stretched his muscles and bones.

Crack crack——

His whole body’s muscles and bones suddenly resounded, emitting a series of pleasant light sounds, filled with a sense of power.

Looking down at his feet, only deep pits left by the heavenly soldiers’ bodies remained.

"Would be great if two more Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers came at me!" feeling somewhat unsatisfied, he mused.

Then, he looked toward the direction of the Royal Capital, gazing intently.

"Time to head back."
