Strictly speaking, Physical Stamina wasn't his shortcoming either, but compared to his consumption, it was too massive.
If he just used Arcane Artifact Enhancent to the 7th-Tier, it was already enough to sustain a complete combat round. But people are always greedy. After the 7th-Tier, there is the 8th-Tier, and after the 8th-Tier, there is the 9th-Tier.
"I don't know if, in this current situation, I can enhance all Mystic Tools to the 8th-Tier, and how long I could last..."
Su Chen murmured inwardly, his eyes blazing. Regardless, purifying that mid-tier Mist Embers should definitely not be a problem.
In the Fiery Depths of the Bronze Sect, it was perennially silent and empty. Around the red-gold Flalet, thick black mist constantly churned.
Compared to the past, today's Starfire seed even more blazing, soaring over ten zhang high, Dazzlingly Brilliant. anwhile, the grayish-black mist below continuously climbed upwards along the tongues of fire, seemingly wanting to tear it down.
Streams of green Data Torrent lingered around the Starfire, seemingly suppressing the Mist Embers entangled with it.
But until a certain mont, the green light stream shattered with a bang. The Mist Embers clung to the Starfire and climbed up. The Flalet trembled and soared another zhang high, but in the end, it seed extrely unwilling as it shrank back down.
"Sigh."
To the side, the Phantom Image of the Bronze Ancient King let out a soft sigh: "Even though I've tried every thod, this is the limit."
He was sowhat helpless. Naturally, he knew that letting Qin Yun go out alone might cause many troubles.
But through various ans, he could at most extend her ti away to one month.
"It's still too short."
Thinking of this, the Bronze Ancient King truly felt it was a pity. The reason was not just because he couldn't go, thus missing the opportunity to potentially contact the Spirit of the Vast Sun, or that Qin Yun might escape his control. More crucially, he couldn't observe the Solar Fla up close, nor could he confirm whether he could completely resolve the Crisis of the Flas using that Solar Fla.
That was one of the things he cared about the most.
Unfortunately... unable to leave ant unable to leave. As he was pondering, his eyes flickered, and the Phantom Image dissipated.
In the Ancient King Palace, the Main Body lowered his gaze.
Outside the hall, Chu Lingyuan was walking over, with Su Chen following closely behind.
"Sect Master," Chu Lingyuan said respectfully, and Su Chen also called out.
"Such abundant Vitality. He's already consciously supplenting his shortcomings." With a single glance, the Bronze Ancient King noticed Su Chen's subtle changes.
He nodded slightly, his voice muffled: "What is your business with ?"
Su Chen replied: "It's who wanted to see you, so I asked Senior Brother to bring here."
"I see," the Bronze Ancient King nodded. "Lingyuan, you can go back to your work."
"Yes, Sect Master," Chu Lingyuan complied.
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother," Su Chen quickly said, watching Chu Lingyuan leave.
Just as he turned around, he couldn't help but be slightly startled inwardly. He saw that the Ancient King's Main Body had already transford into a normal human state, having appeared before his eyes at so unknown point.
"It's rare for you to co look for ," the Bronze Ancient King said casually. "What is it?"
Su Chen stated his purpose.
"Go try that mid-tier Mist Embers?" The Bronze Ancient King didn't look particularly surprised. "The ti you ca is a bit later than I imagined."
"I originally thought that, given your temperant, you would co try the intensity of the mid-tier Mist Embers right after claiming the title of Preliminary Champion."
Am I soone that reckless? Su Chen muttered inwardly, but he said: "I still wanted to precipitate a bit, to be more confident."
When purifying the outer Mist Embers, he felt it was sowhat forced. Therefore, even after undergoing Molten Casting Sacred Profession for the World-Slaying Manifestation, he didn't co to do useless work.
"Hmm, it's good to try, just to have an idea in your mind." The Bronze Ancient King pressed down on his shoulder, taking the opportunity to check Su Chen's physical condition and whether there were any Evil God Auras hidden.
"Although this kid's physical strength hasn't increased, his cellular toughness has increased several tis over. His heart and other organs have also strengthened significantly, as well as the width of his blood vessels... In other words, his Physical Stamina has increased imnsely."
The data transmitted back surprised the Bronze Ancient King. Visual estimation was just visual estimation; only after carefully examining Su Chen's body did he have more accurate data.
With a blur of their figures, the two arrived at the Fiery Depths.
Why is he pressing my shoulder again? He didn't need to do this step before... Su Chen glanced at his cheap master, suspecting that the Bronze Ancient King was conducting so sort of test on him.
There were simply too many strange things about him, making it very easy to associate him with Evil Gods. And since the Bronze Ancient King had been hard by an Evil God before, being a bit cautious was very normal.
"Have you taken up a new Profession again?" The Bronze Ancient King retracted his hand and asked directly.
As expected... Su Chen nodded: "In order to make up for my shortcomings, I underwent Job Entry for so Professions that can increase Physical Stamina."
The final Profession for the Eternal Physique required the 7th-Tier for Job Entry. This was a hard requirent. Su Chen didn't ntion it, as it would be quite troubleso to explain.
The Bronze Ancient King had no intention of delving deeper into it either. He seed to just be asking casually. His gaze fell on the Mist Embers in the distance, "Go on, I'll watch from the outside."
Su Chen nodded but didn't enter imdiately. With a shift of his mind, crimson light interwoven behind his back, reflecting the Shadow of the Great Sovereign, which then rged into his body.
"Why does it feel a bit like Junior Brother Crimson Sun? It seems to have so connection to the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted." The Bronze Ancient King noticed so clues.
Su Chen was consuming the buff of the Sovereign Lord. The Sovereign Lord's buff required ti to accumulate to be fully consud, so he could prepare outside. The slight Physical Stamina it consud was already negligible to him.
The Sovereign Lord ability targeted his state when reflecting the Shadow of the Great Sovereign upon himself; it couldn't enhance himself under the buff of Mystic Tools.
However, his own strength was quite considerable, and the boost from the Sovereign Lord was Not to be Trifled With.
"Sect Master..." Su Chen's physical condition gradually elevated, the breath he exhaled mixed with flaming light. He suddenly asked, "How many days has it been since Senior Brother Qing Cang escorted Senior Sister Qin Yun away?"
"It should be four days." The Bronze Ancient King estimated roughly, seemingly not understanding why Su Chen was asking this.
"Four days..." Su Chen was thoughtful: "Then with your Might, can you still catch up?"
The Bronze Ancient King was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Of course, he understood Su Chen's aning, but he also had so understanding of Su Chen's strength. Under the buff of that Holy Class, it indeed made people look sideways.
He could cross an entire tier to fight against Top-Tier Profession users who had similarly undergone Molten Casting Sacred Profession. But that state consud too much of Su Chen. Even if he seed to be intentionally supplenting his shortcomings now, it rely increased the duration; his actual strength hadn't changed.
At the 6th-Tier level, he might be able to exchange moves with the Black Buddha Projection, but purifying it... was still far from enough.
However, he naturally wouldn't dampen Su Chen's enthusiasm. Instead, he replied quite seriously: "Qing Cang has been gone for four days. If I wanted to catch up to him, a few hours would probably be enough."
Traveling via Star Gates also had its fast and slow speeds, and the Ancient King Rank could clearly reach the extre limit.
"That's good." Hearing this, Su Chen felt much more relieved and then walked towards the Mist Embers.
The Stigmas stored in his body had quietly dissipated. A blurry green Phantom Image was gradually outlined on his body surface, clinging to him. This was exactly the ability of the Healing Weaver Sage.
Stepping into the Mist Embers, the scene before his eyes changed. The grayish-white earth spread out beneath his feet. Su Chen was already accustod to this, and his gaze imdiately fell on the manifested Black Buddha.
The mid-tier Mist Embers Black Buddha Projection was increasingly solid. As the black mist churned, it even faintly possessed the gaseous state of the Black Buddha's Main Body.
Su Chen had only seen the true Black Buddha once, on the Crimson Thunder Planet, during a trial, leaving him with lingering fear.
"Very well, this is a perfect ti to see exactly where my limit is right now." Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he first activated the Immovable Vajra.
His heart sank violently, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, almost stopping. A surge of scalding hot blood exploded from his heart chamber, wildly spraying throughout his entire body.
Bloodlight surged beneath his skin like molten gold. Every inch of muscle texture was dyed a breathtaking red-gold, as if countless tiny blood runes were awakening and wandering beneath his skin.
The Mimicry created by the Healing Weaver Sage twisted and dimd on his body surface, breaking inch by inch, greedily devoured by the churning blood mist around him.
Crackle!
Electric arcs surged around him, rolling outwards.
"Combined with the ability of the Healing Weaver Sage, the strength buff converted by the Indestructible Vajra has indeed improved significantly."
Su Chen comprehended the changes in his body. At the sa ti, an illusory Crimson Gold Cauldron surfaced on his body, then suddenly tightened and sank into his body.
He only felt his body sink, seemingly solidifying countless tis. The Celestial Grace ability was already activated. If he could observe down to the cellular level, he would definitely find that within each of his cells, a Crimson Gold Cauldron phantom was suppressing it, gleaming with a glazed luster.
At the sa ti, the Mystic Tools rged into his body began to enhance, all soaring to the 7th-Tier, and his physical strength began to skyrocket.
Boom!
The Aura around him fluctuated violently. The crimson flas and Golden Thunder almost condensed into physical form. Of course, this was far from his limit. Under the buff of the Tripod Physique, consumption at this level only made him exhale a breath.
"And then, the 8th-Tier." Su Chen took a deep breath. The Physical Stamina stored in his cells poured out. His body trembled slightly, his muscle fibers tightening and bulging, erupting with a terrifying power.
The Purple Thunder Sledgehamr had already been enhanced to the 8th-Tier. This was already the strongest state he could unleash before. Benefiting from the enhancent of various abilities, under the sa state, he was now even stronger.
In the past, he could only deliver one strike in this state, but now, his breathing was rely a bit more rapid.
However, while he was stacking strength here, the Black Buddha Phantom Image wasn't idle either. Like a black lightning bolt compressed to the extre, it tore through the air and crashed towards him.
The Space in front of him twisted. The air was sucked into a vacuum, emitting a low hum. The black mist boiled and condensed around it. It was no longer drifting smoke but transford into a vicious ghost Armored and Ard.
Its head lowered, its twin horns piercing the sky, the black energy around it coiled and knotted like actual Chains. Wielding a giant axe, it brought it down as if splitting a mountain, forcefully tearing out a swath of black light.
Su Chen didn't know what Profession this was. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he just raised a hand.
Clang!
Lightning Glow sparked. That giant axe capable of splitting mountains was locked tight by his palm, sending out a rapidly expanding ripple of energy.
A massive force struck his body. Su Chen's body trembled slightly, yet he remained Rock-Solid and Unmoving, the edge of the axe trembling madly in his palm.
"Indeed, at this level, I can exchange blows with him, but I can't win." Su Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, staring at the Black Buddha Phantom Image before him: "But now, this is just the beginning."
Outside the Mist Embers, the Bronze Ancient King's palm was only a step away from the mid-tier Mist Embers. A massive amount of Data Torrent sank into it and returned.
The intensity of this mid-tier Mist Embers was extrely high; even he had to expend quite a bit of effort to perceive Su Chen's physical condition.
"He's already activated his Holy Class, and that ability that exchanges flesh and blood for strength and defense..."
"Hmm?" Bronze seed sowhat surprised. "His strength in this state seems to have increased significantly again. I really don't know what the situation with this kid's Holy Class is, for the intensity to be this high..."
He could access all information within the Bronze Sect, including the Challenge System, naturally. He Know like the back of one's hand regarding Su Chen's strength condition, having even studied it carefully.
"If that's the case..." He originally didn't hold much hope, but sensing the physical changes in Su Chen, the Bronze Ancient King vaguely had so thoughts. "Perhaps there isn't entirely no chance; it just depends on how long he can hold out..."
Even though he had placed great hopes on Su Chen, believing he would eventually purify the mid-tier Mist Embers one day, either at the 7th-Tier or 8th-Tier.
But the Bronze Ancient King also didn't anticipate this kid's growth speed to be this fast. "If he can hold out a bit longer and try a few more tis, once he's familiar with the intensity, he might actually be able to try purifying this mid-tier Mist Embers before the transferring of the fire begins..."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, his expression changed: "What is this situation? His physical strength has skyrocketed again, far exceeding his previous Peak Condition, by several tis... nearly ten tis!"
Within the Mist Embers, Su Chen pinched the edge of the axe, his gaze cold. "Give it to , enhance all of them to the 8th-Tier!"
Fist-thick red-gold electric arcs shot out all around, violently surging like a torrent. Even under the effect of the Celestial Grace, the terrifying consumption of enhancing all Mystic Tools to the 8th-Tier squeezed his body like a released flood.
But he could still hold on. In no ti, all Mastery Secret Tools soared to the 8th-Tier level.
Su Chen's pupils contracted. The blue veins under his skin throbbed, his muscles knotting and expanding. His physical strength reached an Unimaginable level.
Tightening his grip, pale golden sparks flew from between Su Chen's fingers. The axe blade gripped in his palm let out a teeth-grinding groan.
Cobweb-like cracks seeped out from the contact surface between the axe blade and his palm, and fine tal fragnts fell like blood beads.
The next mont, a crisp "Crack—" exploded! A three-inch-long fissure burst open from the root of the axe blade. "My turn." The corners of Su Chen's mouth split into a grin. Waves of bloody qi erupted from within his body, instantly dyeing the entire area red. His entire person transford into a bolt of crimson red lightning. No Flashy and Substonceless attacks, just a fist accumulated to the absolute limit.
Boom—!
As this punch fell, the entire Mist Embers space seed to have a pause button pressed. The blood-gold electric arcs twining around Su Chen's knuckles suddenly skyrocketed, no longer fine threads, but transforming into roaring crimson lightning pythons.
Before the strike even landed, the Black Buddha Projection transford into a mist state in an instant. But it was useless; beneath absolute power, the black mist lingering around cracked like glass.
Even though the Shadow of the Black Buddha was not physical right now, this strike completely shattered it.
Outside, the Bronze Ancient King only felt a faint rumble ring out. The Mist Embers lingering with Starfire before his eyes trembled simultaneously. The black mist seed to be Pulverized to Dust, followed by retracting inward.
"This..!" His pupils spun and contracted. He couldn't be clearer about what this scene represented.
The Starfire overhead could no longer be restrained, transforming into a heaven-piercing pillar, shooting straight into the clouds. The deepest, most core Mist Embers surged and churned, but it was already powerless to stop it.
Beneath the Starfire, Su Chen's figure gradually erged, blood mist erupting all around him, crimson-gold electric arcs sparking, Violent to the extre.
