Chapter 889: Chapter 62: Prove My Ultimate Technique with Your Power! (9000)_3
Obviously, Kode didnāt know how many layers of shields Ian could put on himself, and Ian immediately switched swords before his Ice Shield was torn apart by Kodeās rapid slashes. His left hand gripped the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword tightly, with Aether Crystals gathering a continuous stream of power.
As he was attacking, a thought suddenly struck Kode. Without thinking, he dove down, his body smashing through the mountain rock, and buried into the layer of earth.
Just then, a cyan-golden torrent surged forth from Ianās sword. The āHongtao Swordā was indeed worthy of its name at this moment, as an enormous sword light dozens of meters long burst through Ianās own Ice Shield, sweeping across a 180-degree angle in front of him.
Kode had already hidden in the rock layer, so the sword light naturally didnāt hit him. It skimmed far away, crashing into the base of a mountain thousands of meters away, and a blast like that from an Alchemy heavy cannon resonated, leaving a nearly hundred-meter-long sword mark on the earth.
"You are at the Second Energy Level?!"
Leaping out from the earth and stone, the utterly astonished Kode didnāt need to look. Just hearing that sound and the Origin Substance Reaction made his scalp tingle. Meanwhile, Ian, who had already distanced himself, didnāt waste words, he directly swung another Hongtao Sword, forcing Kode to quickly move and dodge.
Continuing like this was sure to disadvantage Ian. The Origin Substance required by Ian to trigger the Hongtao Sword was definitely far more than what it seemed for Kode, who appeared to be pressured into running and dodging. But when the Mountain Tribes Chieftain saw that Ian was still unfazed even after swinging the Hongtao Sword five times, and hadnāt even gasped for breath, he immediately understood that the young man before his eyes was absolutely a monster among monsters.
Or rather... was he simply a True Dragon that had molded itself into human form to wander the Human Realm?
āI knew it! How could an ordinary person be this good-looking?!!!
Of course, Ian was unaware of the wild thoughts that were shaking Kodeās heart. At this moment, while overpowering his opponent with pure Origin Substance, Ian was also making on-the-fly adjustments to the Origin Structure within his body.
[The defense of the āSilver Scale Armorā still has weak points. The chest, knees, and neck joints, where the Origin Structure needs to be optimized. Calculation Unit assist with the corrections, estimated time required, 1:29.]
[The Hongtao Sword consumes too much Origin Substance. Reduce unnecessary shockwaves, strengthen the sword qiās tip lethality, Calculation Unit assist with the corrections, estimated time required, 5:45.]
[Efficiency of the Aether Crystal and Ancient Dragon Heart Core synergy can still be improved, not adjustable during combat, log into āCorrection Recordsā for data collection and adjustment post battle.]
Deep within his soul, a number of Calculation Units, as well as Ianās already optimized soul itself, were providing computational power that far exceeded an ordinary Third Energy Level Sublimator. Although it looked like he was fighting, in reality, he was using Kode, the Third Energy Level Sublimator, as a live test subject to correct his various combat and cultivation data!
Having awakened the Heart Light Body and knowing how powerful the Third Energy Level was, Ian was aware he couldnāt advance to the Third Energy Level in a short time. Yet the enemies and powers he had to face were getting stronger. If he still wanted to seize the initiative and hold his fate in his own hands, he must find another method to become stronger. This was also to prepare for later transforming The Unyielding Fortress, evolving āLord of Stoneā into a more perfect form.
Optimizing the structure of the āSilver Scale Armorā of the Rock Cast Knight was just the first step. Recently, Ian has been relying on the Calculation Units within his soul to amplify his computational power and optimize the structure of the Ancient Dragon Heart Core to compress and transport Origin Substance.
In Ianās view, just as all armor suits have their own Alchemy Furnace Core or Ether Furnace Core, every Sublimator needs their own Ancient Dragon Heart Core for Origin Substance storage and bursts of power. Not everyone can inherit the legacy of a powerful forerunner, nor does everyone have a Silver Chip; therefore, one must lower their expectations.
For instance, having an Artificial Soul and Calculation Units capable of amplifying computational power, using them to condense a second Primordial Seed within oneself, and employing the formidable computational power to perpetually maintain it, storing excess Origin Substance as well as vital energy and blood that is not usually needed.
This is a technique that only future Sublimators with āArtificial Soulā and āCalculation Unitā can use. In other words, itās a proprietary secret technique that only Ian can use right nowāat a low level, this extra Primordial Seed only serves as an additional reservoir for stamina. Should one reach the Second and Third Power Levels, this perpetually maintained Primordial Seed could compress and purify Origin Substance and burst forth at critical moments.
The more strictly itās compressed, the purer the Origin Substance becomes, and the more terrifying its burst effect will beāand this power, together with the Sublimation Structure and the method of condensing it, to use the culture from Ianās past life, could be called āSolidifying Pillā.
Whereas, in Terraās culture, it would be named āEssence Furnace Coreā!
Everyoneās Essence Furnace Core differs in quality, efficiency of compression and burst, and the level of purified Origin Substance. Ian, who possesses an Ancient Dragon Heart Core, an āexternal pillā or āexternal Furnace Coreā, naturally has the advantage. As long as he constructs the supporting structure well, he can wield power far beyond his Power Level!
He could amass strength to confront a Third Energy Level Sublimator head-on without falling behind!
"This is real progress! Itās not about researching one or two powerful Bloodline True Forms, but finding a power model that everyone can learn and possess... Not about discovering a powerful ādestination,ā but forging a āpathā that everyone can walk upon!"
