I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Roar—!!!"

The True Dragon cried out in agony, shaking the heavens and the earth, as intense sound waves rippled through the air, distorting it into concentric ripples and waves.

From below, Xue Jing, although it would still take about twenty seconds for the sound to reach him, raised an eyebrow:

"Stop shouting."

With a thought, his spiritual aura, attached to the Shadow Flame, remotely transferred to the Zhao Ye Blade hovering ten thousand meters above, as if the void itself had cracked open, dark thunder emerged around the Zhao Ye Blade.

As if held by an invisible swordsman, the tip of the Zhao Ye Blade slightly lifted, tilting upward, paused slightly, then suddenly swung!

Yuhua·Divine Avoidance!

A swift horizontal slash from left to right, the spiritual aura-formed dark thunder lingered in the void, creating an appearance from afar as if the space itself was cleaved into two, opening a dark rift.

This slash struck right in the middle of the True Dragon's gaping mouth, as it cried out, slicing open its throat and almost severing half its head, abruptly silencing the dragon's chant.

The intense spiritual damage imparted by Divine Avoidance invaded its brain, causing its eyes to roll back, nearly knocking it unconscious.

...

Taking advantage of the range of Yuhua and the eternal indestructibility of the Zhao Ye Blade, Xue Jing toyed with the True Dragon until it was beyond recognition and furiously incapacitated, then he waved his hand, allowing it to dissipate and be released.

Since he had never battled this True Dragon in its prime, what was simulated was the True Dragon after it had been greatly weakened by the 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead.'

For the current him, this level of opponent was too weak, barely serving as a practice match.

"That's about it."

Xue Jing nodded his head.

After several hours of detailed testing, he had a clear understanding and grasp of his current overall combat power.

Both the True Martial and the Army Master having leveled up, his martial arts capabilities once again enhanced to a considerable extent.

Specifically reflected in the Mahayana Flying Sword, previously Xue Jing could barely manage two flying swords simultaneously executing martial arts skills, but now he could easily manage three.

If he activated Twin Lifes, employing both 'Double Computation Power' and 'Double Concentration,' plus 'Double Flexibility' to generate twice the amount of Power, he could reach six.

This was essentially equivalent to six Xue Jings attacking simultaneously...

The only problem was, currently there were not six weapons that could fully withstand his Power... and as his strength continued to increase, the more flying swords he could wield simultaneously, the larger this gap would become.

Thus, limited by external factors, he couldn't fully exploit his ability in long-range combat using Yuhua.

However, this was a minor issue, in the future it would simply require acquiring more Divine Weapons.

If not that, then just level up the Army Master higher, casually pick up a few dozen tree branches from the ground, and enhance them with weaponry to solve the problem.

In the aspect of Impeccable, likewise due to the leveling up of True Martial and Army Master boosting his realm, currently, without using Twin Lifes, Xue Jing could at his utmost continuously deploy one hundred seventy-nine spears!

If he activated Twin Lifes, complemented by both Computation Power and Concentration, he could reach the realm of two hundred spears.

Adding even one more spear to Impeccable becomes increasingly difficult, requiring a surge in Computation Power, though it appears only twenty-one more spears were added, the calculation difficulty nearly doubled.

If Zhou Yinglin were here, even if his calculation ability and Power control were enhanced threefold, and he overclocked his brain to the point of smoking, he still wouldn't be able to produce two hundred spears.

Even just with this one spear technique, without utilizing any other methods, Xue Jing at this moment was likely enough to threaten a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster... probably.

This was his own guess; up till now, his understanding of Limit-Breaking Grandmasters was limited to competition videos, and he had not yet faced a true Limit-Breaking Grandmaster, so he was not clear on the specific power distribution of Limit-Breaking Grandmasters.

It is said that those who have leaped through the Dragon Gate and become Limit Breakers exhibit a wide disparity in strength despite being theoretically at the same level, due to differences in cultivation techniques, physical constitution, and other factors.

Sometimes, the gap between one Limit Breaker and another can be even greater than the gap between a Limit Breaker and an ordinary person.

Anyway, based on the performances seen in match recordings, Xue Jing felt that, relying solely on his martial arts combat skills, along with the enhancement from "Twin Lifes", handling Limit-Breaking Grandmasters with strength around the 'median' should not be a problem.

"I wonder to what extent I would reach if I achieved a Breakthrough…" he thought to himself.

"Speaking of which, there's also something called the 'Ultimate Breakthrough'. I don't really know what the criteria are; I will need to ask Youqing by checking the Qingcheng Encyclopedia when I get back."

With a thought, Xue Jing exited the simulation space, his consciousness returning to his body.

…

Two days later.

At the Cease-Blades Base, the airport.

The Dragon Core Fighter descended slowly in the air, its black streamlined body exuding a high-tech feel, very much stimulating to the male visual nerve.

Base Chief Xu Hongzhong remarked:

"There are always new talents emerging in every generation. Xue, seeing you, I can't help but feel strongly that the era I belong to is receding… and the era that belongs to you is about to arrive."

"Moreover, the speed of its arrival… might be faster than anyone anticipates."

Miao Miao perched on Xue Jing's shoulder, with Yun Qin, dressed in classic black and white maid attire, following behind.

He said with a smile, "You flatter me, Chief Xu."

Xu Hongzhong waved his hand and joked, "Why be so modest? You throw heavy punches in front of the camera, but then are meek behind it? Where is that relentless person who boldly claimed he would take the Eternal Seven Crowns within six years?"

Iron-blooded Jing Ning Yuantai, standing beside them, replied discontentedly, "I say, Old Xu, what do you mean by 'bold claims'? You are mistaken there."

"My Xue has never been reckless in his life! He always states facts and fulfills them; it's just ignorant people who misunderstand him. Don't you spread nonsense!"

He exclaimed loudly.

Xu Hongzhong laughed heartily, "Indeed, Ning is right. My apologies for the slip of the tongue."

Ning Yuantai retorted unhappily, "I've told you not to call me Ning; I've always relied on myself..."

During their casual conversation, the plane landed.

Xue Jing thanked Xu Hongzhong for allowing him to stay at the Zhige Base for so long and apologized for the disruption caused by his daily martial arts practice. Xu Hongzhong, naturally, patted his chest to ensure it was not a problem and welcomed him to return anytime.

Subsequently, the group entered the cabin, the Dragon Core Fighter took off and sped towards the Outer Ring.

As the plane passed through the pale blue barrier enveloping Yuan City,

Thousands of kilometers away in a wilderness, a masked woman with the lower half of her face obscured by a black steel mask opened her eyes, revealing strange, goat-like, horizontal pupils.

She reached a hand to the back of her left ear as if listening to something.

After a while, she looked towards the person shrouded in a black robe beside her and said faintly,

"He has left Yuan City and is flying in this direction."

The robed figure responded slowly, "Very well."

His voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant, hissing like that of snakes.

Speaking, he reached up and removed his hood, revealing his true face.

His appearance was quite unusual; his eyes were tightly shut and had not opened, and there was not a single hair on his slick forehead. From the middle of his forehead protruded a crimson-black curved horn, resembling an alien.

But what was most unusual was his mouth.

He had no lips, yet his mouth was enormous, with the corners split up to his earlobes, as if opening his mouth might split his head in half.

From the gap in his mouth, a slender snake's tongue flicked in and out with extreme speed, as if it were an illusion.

"I smell... a dangerous scent."

He slightly raised his head, facing the direction of Yuan City.

"A massive source of danger is continuously approaching this place..."

"Most of us here will die."

"Miss Xu, I'm starting to think that joining this operation was not a good idea."

The goat-eyed woman frowned and said, "Do you want to withdraw?"

The snake-like man shook his head: "For the sake of the Divine Child, sacrificing this body is trivial. We will spare no expense to retrieve the woman who might become the 'Holy Mother' back into our sect."

"However... the specifics of the operation still need to be discussed."

He closed his eyes, turning his head to face the goat-eyed woman.

"Although your Silent Netherworld Nest Eye is powerful, you are merely a mortal and do not have the constitution of us the Blessed Ones. You cannot fully adapt to such a Divine Object. Maintaining the current level of effort might not be enough to handle that dangerous person."

The woman said lightly, "What do you mean?"

The man shook his head and said, "Next, you cannot continue to use an inhibitor. You must accept the transformation and bring out more power from the Silent Netherworld Nest Eye, or we will only have one way left—to die."

Standing beside the woman, the young man glared at him and said, "You're exaggerating! That person, no matter how powerful, is just an underage. They are not as dangerous as you say, Sister Kui, don't listen to him!"

The man completely ignored the young man, as if he didn't exist at all, and continued:

"That dangerous scent... can only be described by a malicious dragon. Trust me, that young man is terrifyingly strong."

"To entangle with a malicious dragon, one must transform into a malicious dragon oneself..."

His tone was extremely calm.

"I will die in this battle, Miss Xu. Don't let our respective sacrifices be in vain."

The young man eagerly said, "Sister Kui, don't listen to him!"

The goat-eyed woman stretched out her hand to stop the young man from continuing.

She sighed softly and said faintly:

"So be it, let's follow what the Sect Hierarch said."

...

In the cabin, Xue Jing sat on the seat, his gaze fixed on the window, overlooking the land below.

Even though he was in the high sky and obscured by clouds and mist, his vision was still unobstructed, able to see the ground clearly.

From afar, he could see once again the hexagonal massive building he had seen upon first arriving in the Inner Ring.

According to Ning Yuantai, it was the bio-breeding grounds of the super-giant company 'Joint Cultivation' at the Intersecting Boundaries.

The Flame Crab that Xue Jing had eaten in Yuan City was a product from this company.

He thought for a moment, and casually asked Ning Yuantai sitting next to him:

"Is there a way to visit this kind of breeding ground?"

Ning Yuantai, who was munching on an ice cream cone, replied upon hearing the question:

"Xue, are you interested in the breeding grounds?"

Xue Jing said, "Somewhat."

Such places would certainly have a lot of Intersecting Boundaries creatures... It was unknown how many of them possessed Divinity.

His thoughts were not those of petty theft, but rather contemplating if it were possible to find species containing Divinity and buy them in large numbers with money.

After all, he didn't know how else to spend the billion yuan he had for now.

Ning Yuantai scratched his head: "That might be difficult... Breeding of Intersecting Boundaries creatures is extremely complex, as these things are creatures living in a different world from us."

"For such giant breeding companies, many species are bred successfully with proprietary methods, all of which are business secrets and not open to the public."

"If you want to visit... even if I have acquaintances inside, I'm afraid it won't work."

Xue Jing nodded and said, "I see... Just asking casually."

The plane continued flying, and several hours passed in a blink.

Just as the plane was about to leave the Inner Ring to reach the Outer Ring.

In the cabin, Miao Miao, who was sleeping on Xue Jing's legs, suddenly opened her eyes, her emerald-like vertical pupils razor-sharp.

Her two front paws automatically extended the silver-white Serpent Slayer Spearhead, and her fur slightly bristled.

"What's wrong?"

Xue Jing looked at her and asked.

"Jing," Miao Miao spoke, her gaze serious as she looked at Xue Jing.

"There's a situation, 'The Invincible Lionheart'... has issued a warning."

"It's very dangerous, probably the most dangerous one so far."

Xue Jing's gaze narrowed slightly, and he immediately stood up, chanting the Word Spirit to summon the Nonexistent Beast.

Then, with a thought, he let the Nonexistent Beast swallow the little maid sitting beside him, who was drowsily asleep, into formlessness.

After finishing this, Xue Jing gently patted Ning Yuantai's shoulder, who was sitting in the seat in front of him.

"Yuantai."

Ning Yuantai shuddered, waking from his sleep, and hurriedly said, "Xue, I'm here!"

Xue Jing softly said, "Tell the pilot to stop the plane and open the cabin door."

"I need to go out and handle some business."
