Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 741 - 688: Crushing

Chapter 741 -688: Crushing

Within the Heavenly Curtain, the crimson light barrier had already been riddled with countless holes from Lin Rui’s relentless Thunder Spear bombardment.

With Li He Venerate’s deliberate retreat, Lin Tianchen had been freed prematurely, allowing Lin Rui to unleash his full strength against this crimson barrier without restraint.

But to his astonishment, after almost ten minutes of continuous bombardment—launching more than 5,000 Thunder Spears—the crimson barrier still showed no signs of breaking.

Lin Rui’s expression grew serious as he pondered. This person who had implemented the Knowledge Barrier… could they possibly be at the Immortal Level and approaching ‘Quasi-Abyss’?

—At least 95% mastery of the ‘Sealing’ Concept! Along with more than 90% proficiency in ‘Water Element’ and ‘Ice Element.’

This individual might even possess an ‘Abyss Divine Artifact’, as their usage of these Conceptual Powers was abnormally strong.

But something still felt off. Lin Rui had the support of nine ‘Light Saints,’ thirty-six ‘Red Priests,’ and the collective Faith Divine Fire of 2.7 billion believers gathered by the Radiant Holy Altar.

Lin Tianchen had also provided him with a substantial quantity of high-quality ‘Etherium’ sourced from the depths of Purgatory, which allowed him to unleash 70-80% of the divine might of the ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’ and his ‘Pure Fire’ Concept, sustaining it for over an hour.

During that hour, Lin Rui was effectively a bona fide ‘Demigod,’ capable of rivaling the Abyss in certain aspects!

Could it be that his Demigod status was a mere facade? Could an Immortal Level cultivator really be this powerful? Powerful enough to withstand ten minutes of his Divine Power bombardment?

If Immortal Levels were truly this strong, why would they hide in Purgatory?

Hadn’t the ancient texts of Sky Extreme Star repeatedly described the gap between Immortals and the Abyss as insurmountable, akin to the divide between the heavens and mortals? Were those records lies?

At that moment, Lin Rui’s brows slightly arched.

He had just received a notification from the Battle Spirit Ring.

Notification: You have refined all of Li He Venerate’s dispersed Essence Souls. Spirit Abyssalization has reached 27%, organ abyssalization 22%, bloodline abyssalization 28%, physique abyssalization 7%, source material abyssalization 64%, Abyss Source Core development 32%.

Notification: By fusing Li He Venerate’s Essence Soul, you have mastered 73% of the ‘Dispersal’ and ‘Aggregation’ Concepts. freewebnoveℓ.com

Lin Rui couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Since investing millions of soul power points to refine Li He Venerate’s Essence Soul, his spiritual core had been steadily strengthening and transforming.

This directly affected his control over the Pure Fire and Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire.

He could distinctly feel that things had become easier. With the help of the Array within the Main Temple, Lin Rui now felt an unprecedented mastery over his Abyss Concepts, as though they obeyed his will like extensions of his own body.

The speed at which he generated Thunder Spears had noticeably increased—at least double his previous rate.

At the same time, Lin Rui also felt subtle changes in his bloodline and physical form.

What surprised him even more was how the Battle Spirit Ring provided precise measurements for his Spirit Abyssalization and Source Material Abyssalization.

Judging by these figures, those fake X implants provided by the East Asia Science Academy were indeed effective. Lin Rui’s overall transformation toward the Abyss was progressing steadily, especially in the domain of ‘Source Material,’ where abyssalization had reached 64%.

The only weak spot was the relatively low progress in physique abyssalization, but that was understandable given that Lin Rui was still only in the Sixth Realm of cultivation.

What thrilled him most, however, was the final notification.

73% mastery of the ‘Dispersal’ and ‘Aggregation’ Concepts? These were powers at the Immortal Level!

Those 3 million soul power points had been an incredibly worthwhile investment!

While refining Li He Venerate’s Essence Soul, Lin Rui had been passively absorbing the memories and knowledge embedded within.

Not only had he developed a foundational understanding and insight into the ‘Separation and Union’ Concept, but he also felt an ever-closer resonance between his soul and these two overarching forces that permeated the heavens, manifesting from the Heavenly Curtain and the Root itself.

Lin Rui felt that with a single thought, he could summon the overwhelming power of the ‘Separation and Union’ Concept.

He had been itching to test it out but had restrained himself for fear of disrupting the refinement process.

Now, he narrowed his eyes and, without hesitation, infused the ‘Separation and Union’ Concept into his Thunder Spear.

—Although it was only slightly more than seventy percent mastery, it was now truly his own power.

The Aggregation aspect further amplified his Pure Method, along with the Great Sun, Guang Ming, Holy Thunder, Tribulation Fire, and Light-infused Great Sun Concepts.

Conversely, the Dispersal aspect could shatter his opponent’s power into fragments.

Boom!

As this Thunder Spear struck the crimson barrier, it instantly collapsed over a vast area, disintegrating as it crumbled downward.

A sharp gleam flickered through Lin Rui’s eyes.

He licked his lips and cast one last glance back in the direction of Li He Venerate’s Divine Country, a blazing hunger igniting in his heart.

Lin Rui profoundly desired to devour what remained of Li He Venerate’s fragmented consciousness.

Yet unfortunately, his current strength was insufficient. With its retreat into the depths of the Divine Country and no longer needing to divide attention over Lin Tianchen, the Venerate’s remaining power was enough to stand on equal footing with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui’s current Demigod status was entirely dependent on the support of the Array, the energy supplied by nine ‘Light Saints’ and thirty-six ‘Red Priests.’ He could not outlast the Venerate.

He had no choice but to wait—wait until he ascended to the Seventh or even Eighth Realm before seeking out Li He Venerate once more.

Meanwhile, deep within Purgatory, Ge Xianshan spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

His appearance had undergone a tremendous transformation. No longer the six-eyed elder he once was, he had morphed into a towering ten-zhang-tall demon with a robust and imposing build, six eyes, and a pair of wings sprouting from his back!

His head resembled that of a ‘dragon,’ with curved horns jutting out like blade edges, and his fleshy wings were covered with countless patterns that resembled eyes.
