179: Breaking the Limit

“The most effective way to improve my strength right now is my true spirit and Golden Body!”

Upgrading the true spirit to the Middle Stage of Dao Realm requires 500P energy points.

Upgrading the Golden Body to Saint-tier Fifth Forging requires 30P energy points.

Having learned from previous experiences, Lin Chen chose to upgrade his true spirit power first this time.

Immediately, 500P energy points were consumed, and his true spirit power began to surge rapidly.

The rapid increase in his true spirit power caused an invincible battle intent to erupt around him.

He had an illusion, as if everything in the world was within his grasp.

His true spirit continued to grow for nearly five hours until it completely broke through that layer of shackles, and then the growth slowly stopped.

Lin Chen's current true spirit power had reached the Middle Stage of Dao Realm, which is the Dao Realm Fourth Level.

The true spirit power would not encounter a bottleneck until the Sixth Level; only the Seventh Level would have one.

He glanced at the system panel; the next true spirit upgrade would require 5000P energy points, an increase from 500P.

The consumption had increased tenfold again!

He still had 642.15P energy points remaining.

“Next is the Golden Body upgrade!”

Immediately, Lin Chen consumed 30P energy points.

Suddenly, he felt waves of numbness from deep within his physical body, and a mysterious power was continuously strengthening his physical body.

Gradually, this sensation turned into pain. Lin Chen found that his physical body was once again undergoing destruction and reorganization, and this time it was even more intense than the previous 99 physical body transformations!

Fortunately, Lin Chen's true spirit had already broken through to the Dao Realm Fourth Level, which could, to some extent, block the sensation of pain.

The entire physical body transformation process lasted ten days, and Lin Chen passed through it with thrills but no real danger.

He looked at the system panel.

Golden Body: Saint-tier Fifth Forging + (Consumes 3000P to upgrade, physical body comparable to top-grade supreme treasures, capable of fighting Dao Realm Sixth Level).

“Top-grade supreme treasure?”

Lin Chen knew about this; top-grade supreme treasures were Natal Treasures nurtured within Half-Step Emperor Realm Experts, and they required at least ten thousand years to be born!

A single top-grade supreme treasure was worth at least tens of thousands of source essence!

“The next upgrade actually increases the consumption by a hundredfold, but after the upgrade, it will be comparable to Dao Realm Ninth Level combat power.”

The Later Stage of Dao Realm is a huge watershed, as can be seen from the Great Dao comprehension level.

The Great Dao comprehension level in the Early Stage of Dao Realm is 0.1% to 10%, the Middle Stage is 10% to 40%, and the Later Stage is 40% to 100%.

In the Later Stage, there is a 20% span between each realm, which is a very significant span.

Dao Realm Ninth Level has already comprehended a complete Law Power, so its strength is justified.

He still had 612.15P energy points remaining; everything that could be upgraded had basically been upgraded.

Now, only Great Dao comprehension and Great Dao Combat Skill deduction remained!

Lin Chen still leaned towards deducing Chaos Great Dao Combat Skill first, because he had a Chaos Divine Body, which could amplify Chaos Great Dao Combat Skill by 500 times.

After the system upgrade, the deduction of Great Dao Combat Skill also changed.

Great Dao Combat Skill Deduction: Consumes 500P.

Great Dao Fusion Battle Skill Deduction: Initial consumption of 10,000P, with an additional 10,000P for each additional Great Dao.

Previously, Lin Chen had just skimmed over such a large amount of energy points.

Now, the remaining energy points could support one Great Dao Combat Skill deduction.

“But before that, let's deduce a body technique.”

He had already deduced it twice before, and this deduction would consume 100P, which would also earn him another 600 source essence.

Lin Chen acted as soon as he spoke, immediately beginning his deduction.

Ten minutes later.

A new body technique appeared.

Myriad Tribulations Undying Body (Ultimate High-tier) (0/1P)

(Requires slaying 100,000 powerful creatures of the same realm and absorbing their essence of vital blood to complete; upon completion, amplifies Physical Strength by 750 times).

“This body technique is against the natural order, and the risk is very high.”

“But this amplification is too terrifying!”

Looking at the amplification, Lin Chen was greatly moved.

“However, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, I believe many creatures will be interested in this battle technique.”

Immediately, Lin Chen logged into the virtual world and put this body technique up for sale.

This time, he did not choose to set a direct price but used the auction function of the trading platform.

The starting price was 100 source essence, with a countdown of 1 day.

After setting it up, Lin Chen directly went offline.

“Now I'll start deducing a Great Dao Combat Skill. It actually costs 500P for one deduction; maybe it will give me a surprise.”

Immediately, Lin Chen directly consumed 500P energy points.

The next moment, the system panel began to flash frantically.

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

This feeling was like the processor being overloaded... “500P energy points, such a huge commotion, I hope it's not a dud.”

Lin Chen waited silently like this.

This wait lasted for three hours!

One must know that even an Ultimate High-tier body technique was deduced by the system in just 10 minutes!

Lin Chen eagerly looked at the system panel.

Chaos Heaven-Opening Fist (Half-Step Limit-Breaking) (0/100P)

(When one punch is thrown, a temporary world collapse domain is formed; within the range, all matter returns to a state of chaos. When Chaos Great Dao is complete and this is unleashed, it can simulate the ultimate Heaven-Opening Tribulation, posing a threat to Quasi-Emperors.)

Half-Step Limit-Breaking?

What level was this?

Lin Chen had never heard of it, and no battle technique of this level had ever appeared in the entire Hong Country!

Moreover, the upper limit of this battle technique was too high. When Chaos Great Dao comprehension was complete, which is Dao Realm Ninth Level.

At that time, he would be able to cross the Half-Step Emperor Realm and directly threaten Quasi-Emperors!

One must know that Quasi-Emperors had already begun to initially condense an Emperor Seal.

They already possessed a trace of the Emperor Realm's mighty power.

Lin Chen thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he directly summoned Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi was Hong Country's latest developed AI, capable of quickly searching the entire Hong Country's database and providing analysis.

An hour later, Xiao Zi browsed a large amount of data and, after some calculations, provided an analysis.

Everything in this world operates according to the Heavenly Dao rules of the Endless Realm; everything is predetermined!

Involving the rule level, this was something only Emperor Realm Experts could study.

And Emperor Realm Experts only utilized the Law Power, but could not transcend the rules.

Under the influence of the Endless Realm's Heavenly Dao rules, the highest level of battle techniques and body techniques was Ultimate High-tier.

Body techniques could amplify Physical Strength by a maximum of 800 times, and the Source Great Dao power of the Endless Realm could only be amplified by battle techniques by a maximum of 10,000 times!

Law Power was the same.

The Ultimate High-tier battle technique Lin Chen had previously mastered could amplify Law Power by 10,000 times.

However, Xiao Zi learned through extensive data review that although everything was predetermined and confined within the rules.

It was still possible to break through this limitation.

That is, to break the limit. It was too difficult to break the limit!

Hong Country, governing a Great World, naturally connected with countless Great Worlds outside.

However, from the information Xiao Zi gathered about the countless Great Worlds controlled by Hong Country, no limit-breaking battle techniques or body techniques had ever appeared.

However, Half-Step Limit-Breaking ones did exist.

Every Half-Step Limit-Breaking battle technique and body technique was a supreme sect's foundational art!

Half-Step Limit-Breaking level was too rare. Xiao Zi deduced from some fragmented information that only a few might exist...

At this moment, after learning the preciousness of this battle technique, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with fervent excitement.

“I wonder how many times it can specifically amplify the Source Great Dao power.”
