Chapter 1598: Chapter 55: Limit of Strength, Ten Dragons Ten Elephants, Ji Mingyue’s Choice!
In the midst of the mountain forest.
A giant mythical being, ten zhang tall, stood towering.
Its towering form loomed, with the surrounding trees only reaching its waist.
In the distance, a mountain exploded with a roar, dust and smoke rising and slowly spreading.
Amidst the spreading dust and smoke, a figure with a body like glazed gold stood, the halo radiating, resembling a mythical creature.
Jiang Ning looked at the scene in front of him and slowly retracted his fist.
He was carefully experiencing the aftertaste of this punch and the changes in his body under the Golden Body state.
"It’s not just strength; defense, speed, and the five senses have all made qualitative leaps," he comprehended in his heart.
The phrase ’impervious to all techniques, Golden Body immortal’ was by no means a hollow claim.
In this state, it vaguely gave him a feeling of the Golden Body being indestructible.
"With just this Golden Body, even the usual attacks of a First-Grade Martial Artist would be hard-pressed to harm me in the slightest. Even if I encounter those aged freaks, I could at least withstand them for a long time!"
A realization arose in his heart.
Then, he tried moving, striking, leaping, and dodging several times.
Every movement triggered a small-scale earthshaking and mountain-swaying.
If it weren’t in the deserted mountains far from Guangning City, surrounded by mountains on all sides, he wouldn’t dare test so wantonly.
Through various tests, he found that no matter how intense or swift his movements were, the enormous form carried terrifying kinetic energy, and even if he forcibly twisted it, the load on the Golden Body was negligible.
All kinds of movements could not harm the Golden Body in the slightest.
This body contained boundless power, yet maintained incredible agility and defensive power.
"The investment of these hundred Source Points was worth it!" Jiang Ning’s heart settled.
Compared to before, the current strength had increased exponentially.
This brief test also made him clear about what it took to exhibit the ten-zhang Golden Body; it was the qi-blood within him.
Maintaining this state, the Qi Blood Power gushed out like a flood.
But at this moment, the Qi Flower and Divine Flower simultaneously trembled, rapidly converting Qi and Spirit into Qi Blood Power for him to consume.
The simultaneous supply of the three allowed him to maintain the ten-zhang Golden Body for a moment.
For life and death struggles, this time was enough.
After completing the test, he gathered his thoughts.
The towering ten-zhang Golden Body swiftly diminished, the glow refining inward, and in an instant, restored to its original form.
He glanced again at the destruction he had just caused, the surroundings were in shambles, the distant rocky mountain collapsed, almost leveled.
From the previous ten-zhang perspective, it was not apparent.
But now, having returned to normal form, he truly sensed the extent of the devastation.
Then, his gaze fell back onto the panel.
[Source Points]: 112.7
Since he decided to return to the Royal Capital, he didn’t want to keep these Source Points unused beforehand.
Continuing to hoard them provides no substantial help.
Should he meet a strong enemy, there’d be no time for a last-minute scramble to use Source Points on enhancing traits to boost his strength.
"I can still upgrade a golden trait; using it this way is the most rational!" he silently spoke to himself, glancing at the Source Points on the panel.
He then looked again at the Skill and trait section.
His gaze quickly swept over and then locked onto a trait.
[Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Purple)]: Possessing Dragon Elephant Power, which strengthens with physical fortitude, with the highest potential of obtaining Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants enhancement.
Since mastering the divine skill of the ten-zhang Golden Body, now employing it is arguably his most formidable means of combat strength.
But ultimately, the ten-zhang Golden Body is a supernatural transformation, not usable for regular combat strength.
As a last resort, he won’t easily use it.
In comparison, Dragon Elephant Power is different.
Rooted in the foundation of physical strength, it grows as bodily vigor enhances, representing a genuine increase in physical strength.
Moreover, the body is initially a unity; as strength grows, muscles, bones, and skin also strengthen.
As the body strengthens, Qi Blood naturally increases along with it.
Moreover, the ten-zhang Golden Body is a divine skill based on one’s own physical strength.
The stronger the body, the more powerful the combat power the ten-zhang Golden Body can unleash.
Divine skills are amplifiers of personal power.
The combination of the two yields an effect where one plus one is greater than two.
After a moment of contemplation, he decisively made up his mind.
Moreover, it was not just these reasons, but also because the Vajra Immortal Body is the arch technique of the Vajra Temple.
And as the world’s foremost sect, on par with the Qingxu Temple.
As the primary sect, any technique classed as arch must be of exceedingly high caliber.
Trusting in this aspect, he believed more in the traits derived from breaking through with the Vajra Immortal Body.
Then, with a sudden mental command.
[Consume 100 Source Points, Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Purple) → Dragon Elephant Power (Pale Gold)]
At the moment his mental command was given.
He suddenly felt a far more overwhelming sense of power than any previous enhancement, erupting from the depths of his entire being.
Roar——!!
As if the roars of dragons and cries of divine elephants echoed and vibrated within him.
In an instant, his fascia stretched like bowstrings to the extreme, muscle fibers frantically tore and re-knit.
The bones in his body emitted a dense popping sound like exploding beans.
The power enhancement involved every aspect of his body, a comprehensive strengthening of his physique.
He could clearly feel the strength of his body climbing steadily; originally already tough like Dragon Tendons, now even more knotted and potent.
His internal organs swelled with each breath, essence Qi spurting forth from his organs with every beat.
He felt the power contained within himself climbing steadily, increasing with each heartbeat.
