An energy far more violent than Heavy Core-I, exploding tenfold, a hundredfold!
No longer a gentle life essence, but a wildly destructive energy!
A terrifying scorching sensation swept over Qin Shi’s body, turning his skin fiery red.
What emanated from his pores was no longer white steam, but wisps of faint red smoke!
"Phew!"
Even Qin Shi’s perfect physique almost couldn’t withstand it, forcing him to let out a muffled groan.
Muscle fibers groaned under the high temperature, and each bone seed to be forged in a furnace!
If not for the instant activation of the [Super Stomach], greatly enhancing the tolerance threshold, this bite would have ignited him from the inside out!
"Absorb, transform..."
Qin Shi operated the cultivation technique, and the Cultivation Furnace had completely beco the form of the "New Path".
Spiritual Ability and Martial Arts ford a dual furnace, driving both body and mind.
The platinum fiery sun spun with unprecedented speed, its light blazing to the point of being blinding!
The "Singular Path of Antiquity" operated to the extre, like the most greedy Taotie, frantically devouring this violent heat energy, forcibly transforming it into "fuel" to refine the body!
anwhile, the ntal world constructed by the "Void ditation Technique", with layers of overlapping void ripples violently shook, transforming into invisible hamrs, in collaboration with the fiery sun’s slting, hamring fiercely, stripping away the "impurities" within the violent energy!
Agonizing pain!
Qin Shi clenched his teeth, sweating like a river.
His intense battle with two disaster-level third-level powerful followers never caused such severe exhaustion.
Extre agony surged like tidal waves over the nerves, cells frantically transforming on the brink between destruction and rebirth!
Muscle fibers beca tougher under the high temperature and energy wash, faintly emitting a tallic sheen;
Bone density further increased, the sound of knocking resembling the clash of gold and jade;
Even the flowing blood seed to carry a trace of scorching gold!
The effects of the [Super Stomach] were notable, forcibly guiding the violent energy precisely to impact several energy nodes representing the mid-fourth rank bottleneck within the body.
Each impact was accompanied by tearing pain, but also brought a clear perception of barrier loosening!
After an unknown amount of ti, when the energy of the first molten core was preliminarily refined and absorbed nearly half.
Qin Shi unhesitatingly opened the second!
An even more violent torrent of energy surged in!
This ti, the body’s tolerance seed to increase slightly, the pain persisted, but the crisis feeling of being burnt to ashes slightly diminished.
The energies of the two molten cores converged and fused within the body, forming an even larger, purer "quenching" high temperature.
Relying on his powerful Extraordinary Body, Qin Shi gradually and steadily suppressed the two molten cores.
He guided the energy torrent to launch the most violent assault on several nodes of the Extraordinary Body!
Crunch! Crack! Pop!
An invisible cracking sound ca from within! Several nodes collapsed like dams, and surging life force instantaneously opened new pathways!
Every corner of the Extraordinary Body emitted a delightful buzzing, as if breaking free from shackles!
Specialized Level mid-fourth rank, breakthrough achieved!
Qin Shi felt a jubilant elation, the total quantity and quality of life force elevated to a new tier!
The strength, power, speed of the Extraordinary Body... grew comprehensively.
Qin Shi slowly opened his eyes, the platinum glow in them flashed and disappeared, deep as an abyss.
He felt the power surging between all his bones, seemingly closer to the essence of "reality".
"One step closer to the source of life."
Qin Shi clenched his fist, the knuckles producing a light popping sound.
"I need about a week of rest, for consolidation."
He slowly stood, putting on outer clothes, the heat of the molten core not yet dissipated, making Long Qiuyuan, holding a fire extinguisher, feel the intense heat.
She coughed twice, lowered her head:
"Okay, boss. I will communicate with the Western Front command not to assign tasks."
...
...
A week later.
Qin Shi finally completed the total digestion of the two molten cores.
Just as he pondered how to seek new hunting targets, Long Qiuyuan sent a ssage.
"Boss, there’s a relatively simple escort mission. Send a chanical soldier to the Anvil Outpost."
Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, opening the transmitted mission brief.
Due to the continued advancent of the battle line, the rear must dispatch chanical soldiers to activate dedicated purification tracks, to disperse heavily polluted nodes.
By establishing temporary "pure lands", building "defense lines", greatly reducing Netherworld erosion, ensuring the smooth transport of military supplies.
"Accepted."
Qin Shi scanned the route map.
The location of the Anvil Outpost was right on the edge of the area once covered by the Active Domain.
He was just about to head to the farthest front of the Western Front, so this trip was on the way.
"Alright, boss."
Long Qiuyuan nodded.
The Kirov airship turned, and after about seven hours of flight, it rged with a mixed squad composed of three heavy armored personnel carriers and two "Rock" class fire support vehicles.
"Quite the formation."
Qin Shi stood atop the airship, the massive shadow sweeping over the cracked scorched earth, the engines maintaining a low hum, stably flying at about three hundred ters altitude.
"chanical Sergeants are advanced tech troops, just as rare as Divine Machine Pilots."
Long Qiuyuan shrugged as he spoke.
Qin Shi remained silent.
The frontline had various troop classifications; generally speaking, the "least valuable" were probably the recruits produced by the Nether Training Camp.
Divine Machine Pilots, chanical Sergeants, these were high strategic value elite units.
The aerial view provided a clearer perspective. Qin Shi silently observed below, and the scenes along both sides of the battlefield roads were shocking.
The dilapidated tents of field dical stations, rows of wounded soldiers, the slanting Divine cha armors, and overturned wrecks of armored vehicles slowly being eroded by living pollution...
"The intensity of the war continues to rise."
Qin Shi pondered on Lord Governor Feng Wuyang’s grand strategic direction. If the eastern and western fronts were to be pushed to the Corrupted Sea, it would inevitably require heavy casualties.
"The bigger the price, if the imagined victory cannot be achieved, the situation for Lord Governor will probably not be good."
As Qin Shi was thinking, he suddenly caught an unusual fluctuation.
Imdiately afterward, the lead vanguard vehicle "Mammoth" of the convoy suddenly braked hard!
An ear-piercing alarm sounded through the shared communication channel up to the airship!
"Alarm! High-energy reaction! Left front, underground!"
The voice of the convoy commander carried intense tension, urgent and concise.
Boom!
The ground heaved violently like a drumhead and suddenly cracked open!
A monster resembling a gigantic burrowing centipede, with its shell covered with pustules and faces of wailing humans, burst out of the earth!
It raised its nacing head high, spreading a terrifying aura of the third disaster level.
The earth waves surged, the scorched earth shattered, and the entire convoy was under attack!
The main cannon of the Rock fire support vehicle was in ergency charging, and soldiers hastily mounted weapons onto vehicles to face this sudden terrifying attack, their formation inevitably showing signs of panic.
"Boss..."
Long Qiuyuan looked at Qin Shi.
"Warm up a bit, stretch the muscles."
The latter didn’t waste words and had Long Qiuyuan open the cabin door.
Usually, an attack of this level could be handled by the escort convoy, without needing Qin Shi’s involvent.
But after a week of settling and resting, he very much wanted to "vent" his ample energy.
Whoosh!
The wind swirled as Qin Shi stepped out, appearing at the edge of the open side cabin door of the airship.
Three hundred ters of height posed no threat. Qin Shi’s gaze focused, locking on to the gigantic centipede.
He leaped down!
Without any cushioning devices, Qin Shi’s body tore through the air like a teor.
The fast-descending airflow roared past his ears, and the faces of the convoy soldiers looking up in shock enlarged rapidly.
When within roughly fifty ters of the Follower, the descent suddenly slowed!
It wasn’t Qin Shi deploying so deceleration device, but rather his Life Domain seed to tangibly repel space.
The Follower that suddenly attacked was called the "Wailing Earth Worm."
It seed to sense the deadly threat from above and lifted its multi-eyed head sharply.
Then it swiftly abandoned attacking the convoy and instead targeted Qin Shi.
All the human faces on its pustules uniformly turned skyward, emitting even more piercing, concentrated spiritual spikes.
Mixed with tangible dark energy, they shot upwards like a black thorny forest!
Faced with this assault strong enough to pierce light armor and destroy a squad, Qin Shi didn’t make any excess movents, and didn’t even touch the hilt of the sword at his waist.
He t the terrifying impact that would shatter the spirit of ordinary soldiers, his body in freefall, pressing his right hand down!
Buzz——
From his forehead, that shadow of a compressed to extre white-gold blazing sun suddenly brightened!
The incredibly pure "real" will no longer an invisible sharp blade, but transford into an enormous hand covered in white-gold flowing fire, shielding the sky!
Following Qin Shi’s downward pressing motion, it crashed down with a thunderous clap!
