Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 555: Chapter 548: Imprint

The Forest Race, the Forbidden Land, the Prime Seed Forest.

This place was located in the heart of the Forest Race Ancestral Land, covering an area of about one square kilometer. It held a peculiar landscape unseen in any other forest in the world.

All sorts of bizarrely shaped trees propagated and grew here, and the air itself seemed to be filled with an extremely dense aura of life.

This was the very core of the Forest Race Ancestral Land. A unique magnetic field had formed here, a product of its extremely special terrain and layout. If an ordinary person were to live in this environment year-round, they would naturally enjoy a long life free of illness. Even their body would become extraordinary.

The most important reason it was called the "Prime Seed Forest" was because most of the special plants now used by the Forest Race were first cultivated here. This special region could be considered the core of the entire Forest Race, and it even had some faint, mysterious connection to the Primordial Ancestor’s Seal.

In the very center of the Prime Seed Forest was a small pool, ten meters in diameter.

The water in the small pool was a thick, light green. It was less like water and more like a viscous fluid.

This was the "Prime Seed Pool." The water within was a concentrate of nutrients, naturally delivered and collected from most of the plants in the surrounding Prime Seed Forest. The bio-energy and nutrients it contained were extremely rare on all of Earth, incomparable to any medicine.

This was the foundation the Forest Race had built over thousands of years. They would only draw some of the pool’s water for use at critical moments.

For example, when the Great Clan Elder sought to use the Ancestral Power to break through to King Level, he took about a liter of the water to have on hand.

But now, a figure had appeared within the Prime Seed Pool.

The figure sat cross-legged and stark naked in the pool. The thick, viscous water barely reached his powerful chest.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes were tightly shut as the thick water surged and ebbed around him.

Every pore on his body was wide open, constantly absorbing the dense Energy from the surrounding pool.

For a given mass, the Black Pill he had previously consumed provided one unit of energy. The water of the Prime Seed Pool, by comparison, provided thirty.p>

Moreover, although the Black Pill was made of highly concentrated life-sustaining nutrients, it inevitably contained impurities, and absorbing too much of it would cause unnecessary trouble. The water of the Prime Seed Pool was different. The only thing in it that could possibly be called an impurity was perhaps the "water" itself.

This potent nutritional supplement—high in purity, high in Energy, easy to absorb, and free of impurities—was exactly what Zhou Yuanjue needed most right now.

A complete metamorphosis of life required a massive amount of nutritional supplements to maximally accelerate the body’s evolutionary process. Otherwise, he could only inch forward with slow, grinding effort.

To repay Zhou Yuanjue for his selfless help, and to gamble on preparing for the coming battle, the Forest Race had truly paid a heavy price this time.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanjue was immersed in a peculiar sensation.

He could now clearly "see" every part of his own body. He was a unified whole, yet he was also every individual component, down to the most minute detail. This newly established internal order allowed the will of the whole to reach every part. In turn, it enabled every part to perform its function to the absolute best of its ability.

A benevolent system promotes societal progress. Likewise, a benevolent internal order stimulates the body’s evolution.

It was like the founding of a new nation, where everything had to be rebuilt from the ground up. Every individual threw themselves into the tide of nation-building, doing their utmost to contribute and strategize.

Zhou Yuanjue didn’t even need to think. It was as if, on some unseen level, every cell was using the body’s Acupoints as hubs. Based on its own condition, each cell generated endless methods for physical transformation, which were continuously absorbed by his collective will. All Zhou Yuanjue had to do was gently guide the direction of this evolution.

Naturally, spurred on by the "guiding principles" of his collective will, they all began to initiate preliminary physical transformations according to their respective conditions.

The very essence of life that was untouchable for ordinary people, and even for the most elite Martial Artists—the genes—was now slowly and imperceptibly changing.

The "useless" genes hidden within his genetic code were being unearthed and reorganized, bit by bit. The advantages once possessed by other living beings were gradually being integrated into his body.

’He will truly become a King, evolved from all the creatures on Earth.’

His body’s tolerance was changing...

The internal structure of his bones was transforming...

The structure of his muscle tissue was being reformed...

Even the magnetic field structure within his cells was in flux.

This was a complete metamorphosis.

In that unseen realm, Zhou Yuanjue saw special structures, shaped like long serpents.

Those were the imprints of human life, and even of all life on Earth: genes.

Every species evolves its own unique genetic structure, a special imprint exclusive to that form of life.

And now, the genes in Zhou Yuanjue’s body were transcending the boundaries of humanity, gradually reorganizing and generating a life imprint that was uniquely his own.p>

Beginning as human, but transcending humanity.

In the end, Zhou Yuanjue could gradually sense that his magnetic field, Spirit, soul—everything—was gradually merging with that imprint.

It seemed as if his entire being was coalescing into one.

This was a path different from that of the Celestial Demons.

The Celestial Demons abandoned their bodies, using their spiritual magnetic fields as a core to construct a path to transcendence.

But Zhou Yuanjue was different. At this moment, he was integrating his entire being into this physical body.

His life, his ideals, his will, his magnetic field...

It was like the countless ancestors who shed their blood for a new homeland, who were born of it, grew with it, and became one with their nation.

When this integration was complete, there would no longer be any distinction between his Spirit and his body.

The Spirit would be the body, and the body would be the soul.

Not even the Natural Magnetic Field would be able to pull his Spirit from his flesh as it had before.

He didn’t know what kind of changes this fusion would bring, but he knew this was the path he had to walk.

To fuse everything into one, to achieve the infinite through the finite, not by seeking advantages and avoiding harm, but by challenging a near-impossible miracle.

’I will take this frail body, step by step, from the ground to the sky, from Earth to the starry river of the cosmos.’

His consciousness gradually fell silent, completely immersed in the process of constructing his life imprint, unable to even perceive the changes in the outside world.

He greatly anticipated the power he would possess when his own life imprint was initially formed.

This was his "Proof of a King."
