Chapter 45: Spiritual System Strengthening
Controlling the power of thunder is equivalent to possessing the speed of thunder. The High Priest's words are not empty, but a manifestation of one's abilities reaching the highest level in this world's energy system. In civilized worlds, such super-strong individuals are further divided into finer categories, with countless historical records to verify this. Unlike barbarians, who divide things so roughly and vaguely.
It is said that the countries of the civilized world are the mainstream of this world, inherited from the sacred place where the gods dwell, Borweisna, and have been blessed by the heavenly gods since ancient times. Legend has it that in the early days of human civilization, the first generation of heavenly gods had already made contact with humans, tamed the savage people who were still hairy and drinking blood, taught them knowledge, and let them learn to use fire. The divine envoys from the lower realm even taught them how to grasp the energy hidden between heaven and earth, allowing the ignorant human beings to gradually grow stronger, creating one prehistoric civilization after another, eventually becoming the dominant force on this land.
For tens of thousands of years, countless strong individuals have emerged from among these ordinary people to become heavenly gods. There were also innumerable super-strong individuals who roamed this land, leaving behind a legend. Therefore, these powerful beings known as super-strong individuals by the Ka Ya barbarians are referred to as legendary strong individuals in the civilized world. One step further, for example, legendary strong individuals of the level of the King of No Night are also referred to as half-gods, or existences that are only one step away from becoming gods.
The three energy systems of the supernatural, superpower, and spiritual have been passed down through the ages. In the end, only the supernatural system's elemental energy has become a common practice for the masses, which is extraordinary in its own right. In ancient times, the descendants of those with divine bloodlines were incredibly powerful, born as demon gods, almost indestructible. For example, those magical insects and beasts that evolved through countless hardships would shed their physical bodies when breaking through to higher levels, in order to purify their bloodline and make their body structure more like that of a demon god. Humans are no exception. However, they have developed even further, such as the seven elemental ability holders. Once they enter the realm of demigods, they can transform their bodies into elemental energy and merge with the surrounding elements. For example, light, darkness, water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth - if an element matches one's attributes, it can be merged with that element to become one entity. Within a short period, they can assimilate into the universe, transforming into extreme light, dark night, flowing water, raging fire, whirlwind, thunderclap, or landmass. With just a wave of their hand or a tap of their foot, they can summon the power of heaven and earth, unleashing immense energy.
Like the Gaya barbarians' high priest lineage, they practiced forbidden techniques that were not among the three energy systems, but contained the abilities of the three systems and added their own understanding of the energy system. They were cunning and versatile, forming a unique lineage. Therefore, the high priest lineage was extremely powerful at the beginning of their cultivation, and same-level magic users were no match for them. Only those who were brutally killed had a chance. Even when two legendary strong practitioners entered the profession of spellcasting at the same time, the high priests often won more than they lost. However, once the elemental ability cultivators, swordsmen reached the semi-divine realm, their strength suddenly increased by hundreds of times, and their physical body was almost indestructible, no longer restricted by forbidden techniques. Even if all sixteen high priests joined forces, they couldn't do anything to him. This is also why Mutta, who was known as the number one forbidden technique user in the priest lineage back then, could kill several legendary strong practitioners of the same level on the battlefield of the Holy Alliance, but later when he ambushed the King of Night, he didn't even have a chance for a head-on confrontation and was easily killed by Elvira, the King of Night. Apart from their strength not being in the same league, it was also because the supernatural system's ability users gradually surpassed the other two energy systems.
Of course, this degree is still far from controlling the power of nature. As mentioned earlier, no matter how strong the supernatural ability holders are, as long as they have not taken the last step and ascended to the throne of the gods, they will be subject to the constraints of the elemental forces of this world and can only surrender before the vast power of heaven and earth. Although half-god level strongmen seem powerful, when transforming into elemental energy and triggering the power of heaven and earth, the backlash they have to endure is equally enormous, almost at the cost of their own life force. It can only be said that they have initially grasped the secrets of heaven and earth, but cannot truly utilize them.
Once they take the final step, condense their divinity, and their physical body can switch between elemental energy and flesh and blood, devouring surrounding elements to supplement themselves. They can even forcibly gather elemental energy and merge it with their own body, turning it into flesh and blood, transforming into a divine law body hundreds of meters in size. With every move, they can summon the power of the heavens and earth, deserving of the title "destroyer of heaven and earth". At this stage, these gods, who have taken supernatural energy as their origin, are extremely difficult to kill. Because they have already transformed into a source of energy, they no longer fear the constraints of the seven elements and can truly control elemental abilities. No matter how severe the injuries they sustain, as long as there is still elemental energy around them, with just a thought, they can use other energies to mend their wounds, doing whatever they please without restriction. At this level, as long as their soul is not extinguished, their physical body will be indestructible and possess infinite lifespan, truly becoming immortal and imperishable.
Of course, with Lao Liu's current level, let alone being a demigod, he doesn't even have a high-ranking position, so it's naturally impossible for him to transform into lightning and reach the speed of thunder. It can only be said that he has initially touched upon the secrets of elemental abilities, but as for how to use his own abilities to maximize their utility, he still lacks a correct understanding. He is still in a very vague state.
No nonsense, welcome everyone back to the Animal World channel. You are now watching a holiday program "The Growth of Blood-sucking Mosquitoes" live broadcast by Teacher Zhao.
Lao Liu's head was buzzing, seemingly not lightly injured, and he didn't know how many times he had fallen before slowly getting used to the distress of having no wings. He learned to rely on jetting lightning for short-distance sliding. Hmm, it seemed like the effect wasn't bad.
The naturally optimistic old Liu, once adapted, thoroughly opened up his heart knot, and with a whooshing sound, colorful rays of light shot out from under his feet, as he flew around in the sky with a cheerful laugh. Just like Tony Stark's first time taking to the skies, he was thrilled to be testing out his Iron Man suit, soaring through the air, feeling this unique sensation that set him apart.
Of course, after the excitement, it's still unforgettable. Old Liu was like a jet plane, carrying a sharp lightning bolt, and rushed into the tree hole where the Blood Mosquito Queen was in seclusion. Outside, there were over a hundred blood mosquitoes with bodies much larger than ordinary blood-sucking mosquitoes, paying homage to Old Liu, the second-in-command, with their eyes, showing the highest respect. They were the female queen's personal guard of honor under the clumsy Blood Mosquito Queen. Old Liu waved at these strangely evolved creatures and forgot to brake, flying into the tree hole and crashing directly onto the inner wall. Once again, he landed on his butt, in a frog-like pose.
The Blood Mosquito Queen looked at the fallen Old Liu with a puzzled expression, although the guy in front of her had undergone plastic surgery, she could still recognize him. Moreover, due to the special spiritual connection between them, she wouldn't mistake Old Liu for an imposter and ordered her subordinates to take him away.
Staring blankly at Old Liu who was gnashing his teeth on the ground, a dull and depressed message was transmitted: Is it time to eat again?
Old Liu, who had equated himself with eating in the heart of the Blood Mosquito Queen, cried and laughed as he got up, staring at this chubby Blood Mosquito Queen, looking left and right, up and down, just short of going over to pick it up and flip it over for inspection. However, no matter how he looked, there was no change? Nor did he find anything out of place, could the old man be fooling me?
The inexplicable Blood Mosquito Queen was not pleased that she was being stared at by Old Liu, although she had already been subdued and branded with a spiritual mark. However, the dim-witted queen still treated Old Liu as her subject. Well, it should be said that he was a very special subject. But no matter how special you are, you can't just stare at yourself like this, can you? This is not decent! Moreover, since it wasn't time for meals yet, her meditation was interrupted by Old Liu without reason, and the stupid queen couldn't get excited, immediately conveying an unpleasant message to Old Liu: Don't disturb me. If there's anything, you can handle it yourself.
Lao Liu let out an "oh" and, having searched in vain, couldn't help but feel extremely depressed. He had the urge to go back and ask the old man if he was being deceived again, cheating his young heart. Just as he turned around, he suddenly thought of something and stopped immediately. He didn't dare to believe it and turned his head back, looking at the Blood Mosquito Queen in shock, saying uncertainly: "What did you just say to me?"
Benben first felt a sense of depression, as if he had some doubts about Lao Liu's IQ, so he twisted his head and said again: I told you not to disturb me when I'm thinking. If there's anything, you can handle it yourself.
"Ah! Opened, opened! This this this... how is this possible!!!" Old Liu, who knew the normal intelligence of a Blood Mosquito Queen, almost jumped up in surprise. It wasn't that the message it conveyed was too rotten to understand, but rather that the message it conveyed was actually too good, with clear logic and distinction between main and secondary points, far surpassing its deceased mother by countless times. But how is this possible? How could a Blood Mosquito Queen, which should have an intelligence equivalent to a 3 or 4-year-old child, possibly possess the intelligence of an 8 or 9-year-old?!
Old Liu's brain suddenly fell into a dead machine state, and his spirit was transferred to the soul of the Blood Mosquito Queen. He was shocked to discover that the originally vague and chaotic consciousness had gathered together, shining with a starry light. This is the sign of low-level creatures possessing wisdom and surpassing intelligent life development. And it seems that the spiritual ability of the Blood Mosquito Queen has already exceeded that of most low-ranking magic beasts, reaching mid-ranking standards!
"Old tree! It's an old tree!" Old Liu suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted loudly: "I know, these man-eating plants are spiritually enhanced demonic plants. Damn it, they were all spiritual system!!"
