Chapter 750: Breaking the Limit
Using the power of a pseudo heavenly divine technique, Xiao Ze successfully overcame the 91st level spiritual figure!
The reward for his victory was immense. As he absorbed and refined the spiritual energy, he felt as though he had just consumed millions of drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.
Yet, the steady expansion of his Tree of Origin's diameter confirmed that this was no illusion.
"If I can reach the final level, the spiritual energy reward might be enough for me to break through to perfection level Earthly Supreme," Xiao Ze murmured, his excitement evident.
This opportunity was a fortune that could save him years of painstaking cultivation.
Gaining Momentum
With his pseudo heavenly divine technique, Xiao Ze condensed a fully formed Destruction Storm before summoning the next spiritual figure. With the advantage of a preemptive strike, the spiritual figure stood no chance and was quickly obliterated by the storm.
Xiao Ze moved to the center of the golden platform, refining the spiritual energy it offered. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that the remaining challenges would not be so straightforward.
After all, how else could only one person Luo Qingfeng have reached the 92nd level?
Qing Yanjing's Reflections
From below, Qing Yanjing watched with envy. The overwhelming spiritual energy being absorbed by Xiao Ze was immensely valuable, even for an Upper Earthly Supreme like her.
"When I first reached the Lower Earthly Supreme level, I attempted to learn a pseudo heavenly divine technique from the Qing Pulse but failed," she mused. "It just wasn't compatible with me."
Seeing Xiao Ze wield such a technique and reap its rewards left her both in awe and slightly wistful.
"If I had succeeded back then, I wouldn't just be able to challenge spiritual figures approaching the Heavenly Supreme realm I'd dominate against perfection level Earthly Supremes."
Still, Qing Yanjing quickly brushed aside her disappointment. While this opportunity eluded her, it wouldn't significantly impact her future.
After all, she hailed from the Futuo Ancient Clan, a superpower that ruled over an entire continent. With her unparalleled talent, the clan wouldn't hesitate to shower her with resources.
In their eyes, resources weren't the limiting factor; talent was. Even with abundant resources, creating a Heavenly Supreme required extraordinary aptitude.
Breaking the Limit
On the platform, Xiao Ze refined the last remnants of spiritual energy, his aura growing deeper and more profound. Yet, as he stepped onto the 93rd level, a radiant screen of spiritual energy materialized before him.
"The 93rd level has never been successfully challenged. The spiritual figure at this level meets the criteria for a Limit Breaking Challenge."
"Victory in a Limit Breaking Challenge grants the challenger a Supreme Spiritual Infusion."
"Limit Breaking Challenge: The spiritual figure will gain the challenger's abilities as a projection, including battle experience, divine techniques, sacred artifacts, and even Supreme Avatars."
Reading this, Xiao Ze's brows furrowed deeply.
"That explains why so few can pass beyond the 92nd level. These challenges push the limits by transforming the spiritual figure into a mirror of the challenger's greatest strengths," he thought grimly.
Despite the daunting description, Xiao Ze didn't retreat.
"I've come this far. If I don't attempt the Limit Breaking Challenge now, I'll regret it forever," he reasoned. "Besides, I'm curious about this Supreme Spiritual Infusion."
With resolve, Xiao Ze pressed his finger against the energy screen, dispersing it, and stepped onto the 93rd level platform.
A Battle of Equals
As he stepped forward, a storm of spiritual light gathered at the platform's center, coalescing into a refined, scholarly figure.
The spiritual figure appeared humanlike, dressed in the robes of a scholar. Unlike previous figures, it exuded a vivid sense of life, with intelligent eyes that shimmered with vitality.
The figure bowed slightly, offering a polite greeting. "I look forward to our match."
Immediately, the figure released a torrent of spiritual pressure, raising its hand to summon a massive, glowing sword. The weapon radiated immense power, far exceeding anything Xiao Ze had encountered before.
With a swift motion, the figure swung its sword, unleashing a brilliant arc of energy that shattered the surrounding space as it hurtled toward Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze reacted instantly. His hands formed seals as his Supreme Avatar's eyes turned violet and cyan, reflecting the cycle of destruction and rebirth.
From his avatar's eyes, twin bolts of violet cyan lightning erupted, meeting the sword energy head on.
Boom!
The collision split the space into two halves one torn apart by the sword's energy, the other scorched by the lightning.
Though Xiao Ze had countered the attack, his expression remained grim. "A single sword strike comparable to my lightning disaster? This projection is no ordinary foe."
The Calamity of Fire
Xiao Ze didn't hesitate, summoning his next divine technique.
"Calamity of the Three Disasters: Fire Disaster!"
A flicker of violet cyan fire appeared on his Supreme Avatar's chest, containing traces of golden spiritual light. The flame shot toward the scholarly figure with astonishing speed.
The figure's expression hardened as it raised its sword to block.
Sizzle!
The fire's corrosive energy, enhanced by the calamity's unique attributes, left a deep scar on the sword.
In an instant, the scholarly figure unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, colliding it with the fire to neutralize its effects. The force of the clash sent the figure retreating several thousand meters.
"What a troublesome opponent," Xiao Ze muttered, his tone tinged with respect.
The Clash of Titans
Realizing the battle would require his full strength, Xiao Ze activated his ultimate technique.
"Supreme Divine Technique: Dragon Phoenix True Form!"
A majestic purple gold light engulfed the Supreme Avatar, reinforcing its already formidable defenses and granting it an overwhelming presence. The same light wrapped around Xiao Ze, enhancing his physical body to unprecedented levels.
As the scholar's spiritual projection met his gaze, it seemed to understand the stakes. Both combatants charged toward each other with unrelenting ferocity.
Xiao Ze's Avatar unleashed a thunderous punch, its fist cloaked in dragon phoenix light.
The scholar's projection, undeterred, wielded its massive sword with both hands, meeting the attack head on.
Boom!
The clash obliterated the surrounding space, leaving a void in its wake. Though smaller in size, the scholarly figure fought with unmatched intensity, its movements precise and deliberate.
Slowly but surely, the projection began to gain the upper hand, its compact form granting it greater speed and maneuverability.
A Formidable Foe
Standing atop his Supreme Avatar's shoulder, Xiao Ze couldn't help but admire his opponent.
"What a challenging enemy," he remarked, his voice carrying a mix of frustration and respect.
The battle was far from over.
