Chapter 554: . Power in the body, divine ability naturally forms

Book 554. Mighty Power Within, Divine Abilities Manifest Naturally

With the utterance of that final word, "Begone!"

Many within the forest clearing witnessed a spectacle they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Beams of blinding, incandescent light pierced through the piled mounds of alien beasts, exploding outward with a thunderous roar.

Then came a massive, rapidly expanding ring of platinum flame.

This ring merged the forces of sonic waves and energy pressure, creating an indescribably terrifying, crushing power.

"Boom!"

The flame ring, condensed into a near-solid state, rippled outward without pause.

Along its expanding trajectory, every martial artist and alien beast it touched was run over like they were caught beneath the wheels of a colossal juggernaut.

Their bodies emitted the agonizing, overburdened sounds of cracking bones as they were brutally crushed and thrown aside.

They resembled a pile of debris floating on the sea, violently struck and scattered by a monstrous wave.

Every martial artist on the battlefield felt their body freeze stiff under this vast, majestic, and terrifying force.

Their eyes widened and their faces tightened, staring unmovingly in the direction from which the ring swept.

A fierce gale lashed their faces, blowing their hair tightly against their cheeks and scalps.

Yet nothing could quell the wild, surging shock and horror blooming in their hearts.

Sara, who had orchestrated everything, found the smile gradually freezing on her face as she stared blankly at the epicenter of the blast, seemingly unable to process the turn of events.

A few seconds later, the pupils of everyone present constricted violently.

They beheld a magnificent, radiant figure, shimmering like a platinum star, slowly revealing itself.

It was still...

Lu Sheng.

"Haa—"

Lu Sheng gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

At this moment, he had already entered the state of the Second Undying Ignition, the main-sequence star phase of the Stellar Way.

Entering the main-sequence star state again after half a year brought a completely new sensation of immense power.

Yet Lu Sheng was mostly savoring the marvelous experience that the single word "Begone" had just brought him.

In truth, even Lu Sheng himself had not anticipated that a casual shout from his lips could possess such devastating might.

He only remembered that he had just initiated the Second Undying Ignition, entering the main-sequence star state.

Then, mobilizing a fraction of the power from the three hundred and thirty thousand undying cells within his body, he had roared "Begone."

Yet somehow, just as that word was about to escape his lips.

The oversized Golden Elixir of the Immortal Path at his dantian, comparable in scale to an entire planet, was also mobilized.

It released a titanic surge of energy, fusing together with the divine power of the three hundred and thirty thousand undying cells, ultimately forging that terrifying sonic ring of platinum fire!

"It somewhat resembles the 'Lion's Roar' that frequently appears in the wuxia novels of my past life.

But it is billions of times more powerful than any 'Lion's Roar.'

It can fully be called a mighty divine ability!"

Moreover, this divine ability was produced by the fusion of two distinct forces: the Martial Way and the Immortal Path.

This was truly extraordinary.

"Facts prove that my line of thinking was correct. The Immortal Path plus the Martial Way is far from being as simple as one plus one equals two!"

Lu Sheng rejoiced internally, faintly glimpsing the dawn of the fusion between the Immortal Path and the Martial Way.

"In other words, I now possess three hundred and thirty thousand undying cells.

The terrifying power brought by three hundred and thirty thousand undying entities is enough to magnify a normally minor gesture to an incredible extent.

Every word, every deed, every action, and even every breath

Is comparable to the level of an ordinary person's ultimate divine ability.

This must be what is meant by...

Mighty power within, divine abilities manifest naturally."

In a fine mood, Lu Sheng thought casually as he took a step forward, vanishing with a sharp whoosh.

Instantly, an additional beam of platinum light appeared in the clearing.

The light darted and traversed in all directions.

Every time it pierced through an alien beast or a traitorous martial artist, the latter's body would burst apart with a sharp pop, like a water balloon pricked by a needle.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the number of traitorous martial artists on the field rapidly plummeted by more than a dozen.

At this, the expressions of the remaining survivors finally shifted completely.

Level twelve.

Since when had level twelve combatants become as fragile as papier-mâché.

They possessed absolutely no ability to resist.

They were being harvested at will.

The crucial point was...

The one harvesting them was merely a level eleven!

"What the hell!"

At this very moment, no matter which faction they belonged to, those three words leapt into everyone's minds.

None were more shocked than Saya and Dunton.

As the two individuals closest to and most familiar with Lu Sheng in the entire team, barely counting as his companions.

Seeing the current Lu Sheng cutting down level twelve martial artists and level twelve alien beasts as effortlessly as mowing grass.

The expressions of both individuals turned utterly dazed.

For a fleeting moment, they deeply doubted whether everything they had experienced since the moment they boarded that conscription starship heading to the Alien Dimension Battlefield was nothing but a dream.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Sara, the mastermind behind everything, was also terrified by the power Lu Sheng displayed at this moment, her face twisting in rage.

It never crossed his mind that it would come to this.

An operation that should have proceeded flawlessly had been utterly derailed by an eleventh-level intruder who seemed to have materialized out of thin air.

Thus far, the casualties among his subordinate defectors and the alien beasts had vastly exceeded all projections.

Should this persist, even if the primary objectives were ultimately secured, his return would undoubtedly be met with severe punishment from his master.

At that realization, the amber flames dancing within Sala's eyes suddenly flared with violent intensity.

"Die! You must die!"

In an instant, a torrent of crimson vapor erupted from Sala's form.

The currents swirled and spiraled about him, coalescing into the shape of a magnificent, burning orange nebula.

Simultaneously, five radiant, silver-rimmed bands materialized across Sala's body.

Five rivers of cosmic law descended into his physical frame.

With the convergence of these five laws, Sala’s aura surged in a single heartbeat to an unprecedented, towering zenith.

The amber nebula enveloping him spun so fiercely it seemed on the verge of igniting into pure combustion.

A terrifying pressure exploded outward from Sala with a deafening roar, forcibly repelling everything in his vicinity.

Even the very fabric of the void wherein he stood began to warp, distorting like melting glass under intense heat.

"Boom!"

A fiercely violent, turbulent wave of mental energy broke free from his body, rigidly locking onto the platinum streak of light that was darting across the battlefield.

The countenances of the two guides shifted subtly as they watched the transformed Sala, instinctively retreating a vast distance.

If the previous Sala had impressed upon them an image of formidable invincibility,

the current Sala evoked only one visceral realization:

to approach him meant certain death.

He was easily more than three times stronger than he had been moments before.

Was this the true extent of Sala's hidden might?

Their scalps tingled with dread, and as they glanced back at Lu Sheng, who had transformed into that streak of platinum light, the absolute confidence they once held in Lu Sheng's terrifying combat prowess began to waver.

Witnessing Sala at the absolute peak of his power, they could not help but feel a sudden wave of apprehension and anxiety.

"Against a version of Sala like this, can he actually hold his ground?"

The round-faced fat guide among them gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he cannot, buying some time should be within his power. By then, Lord Hai Jida might very well have arrived."

"Let us hope so."

The stern, middle-aged guide exhaled a long, heavy breath.

Yet in the very instant that breath left his lips, Sala vanished entirely from his field of vision.

When the figure materialized once more, he stood directly obstructing the advancing trajectory of the platinum light that was Lu Sheng.

The clash between the two was now poised on a knife-edge.

For a moment, the attention of everyone present on the battlefield was irresistibly drawn to the spectacle.
