Chapter 1847: Chapter 90: Meteoric Progress (2)
So theoretically, as long as Zhang Xiaoman continuously absorbs the strength of others, he can infinitely increase his spiritual power. Of course, the premise is that his body can handle it.
Zhang Xiaoman plans to continue this absorption process until the Nine Extremes Flower is about to lose its effect, which is about a year away.
As for the targets of spiritual power absorption, they are naturally the recently subdued Death Omen Star and drones.
Indeed, it was just as he expected; the first step of the plan involving taking the Spirit Immortal Ganoderma went smoothly. After consuming this spiritual medicine, Zhang Xiaoman immediately felt a vast energy sweeping through his body, forcing him to calm down and concentrate on refining it.
Nearly half a year passed, and Zhang Xiaoman’s refining was finally completed. He thoroughly absorbed all the energy from the Immortal Ganoderma, raising his strength from Fake Transcendent Level directly to the True Transcendent Level.
Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t have any limits on his realm, so he only needs to raise his ability ceiling, and these two treasure spiritual medicines can precisely meet this need.
"It took quite a bit of time, but the gains far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect this Immortal Ganoderma to enhance my spiritual power so much, directly reaching the Transcendent Level. Now, if I face that monster over on Guleng Star, I should be able to put up a fight..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt the reactive spiritual power within him, with a desire to release it fully.
He has now become a true Transcendent Level, which, according to people from the Second Universe, equates to a True God.
Previously, although he could use the Divine Domain, its effectiveness was limited due to energy constraints.
But now, upon possessing the energy of Lower Transcendent Level, Zhang Xiaoman discovered for the first time the huge gap in power between this level and the Fake Transcendent Level. His spiritual power ceiling is now at least about a hundred times higher than before.
"Though it took quite some time this time, the effect of increasing spiritual power was better than anticipated, so overall, it was quite ideal. Next, I just need to continue increasing the spiritual power ceiling on this basis, and then take the Nine Extremes Flower at the end..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked around. He was in a desolate star system of the Second Universe, where he deployed numerous drones as guards, and these guards would also be his targets for absorbing spiritual power next.
Without much delay, Zhang Xiaoman directly started the second step, using the Spirit-controlling True Technique to absorb spiritual power, temporarily enhancing his spiritual power ceiling.
This process was rather dull and prolonged, and to ensure plentiful spiritual power, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t perform other spiritual power-consuming activities, spending a whole year repeatedly absorbing spiritual power, waiting for skill cooldowns, and then absorbing again.
Zhang Xiaoman felt this was the most painful retreat of his life. Previously retreats due to meditation passed quickly; at least subjectively, they weren’t so challenging.
But this time was different. He needed to stay awake, focused, and constantly absorb spiritual power, repeating the process every 10 minutes for a whole year.
At the end of this year, Zhang Xiaoman even felt he was close to being unclear-minded. Fortunately, he was no longer a novice, and with his Transcendent Level strength, he endured with strong spiritual willpower for a whole year, raising his spiritual power ceiling to the same level as Zi Kuang.
At his level of strength, the gaps between realms become larger as one progresses. To rise from an entry-level Transcendent level to reach Zi Kuang, an established Transcendent expert level, Zhang Xiaoman was quite satisfied.
Of course, this spiritual power ceiling was only temporary; if he doesn’t continue absorbing, it could at most last only an hour.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoman now faintly feels his body can’t handle it; his physique remains at ordinary Transcendent Level, forcing so much ability indeed feels like he’s close to bursting.
"Now, I just need to take the Nine Extremes Flower. Then my spiritual power ceiling should be maximally enhanced, ideally stabilized at this realm..."
Zhang Xiaoman took out that small flower from the space ring, which appeared insignificant, yet the terrifying energy within it was undeniably noticeable.
Unlike merely absorbing the spiritual power ceiling, the previous Immortal Ganoderma and now this Nine Extremes Flower could also significantly improve Zhang Xiaoman’s constitution.
The spiritual power ceiling they enhance is comprehensive, including the constitution that supports accommodating this ceiling.
Zhang Xiaoman closed his eyes and consumed the flower.
Instantly, the terrifying energy erupted from within him, sweeping rapidly in all directions.
The drones nearby suffered in this moment, with those closer directly shattered by the energy, and those further also mostly scrapped, as the exaggerated energy wave radiated across a whole star system.
Subsequently, strong shocks occurred within the star system, space shattered, planets extinguished, leading to a dreadful spiritual power tide triggered by this energy, instantaneously spreading throughout the entire Dark Spirit Star Domain.
The sudden emergence of this energy naturally drew the attention of various forces, with everyone turning their gaze over, wishing to comprehend the source of this random spiritual power wave.
At this moment, several Transcendent Levels of the Dark Spirit Star Domain directed their gaze over, now being the fiercest time of battles for supremacy among several families. This suddenly appearing force prompted immediate vigilance.
In the Lan Family, VIP Hall.
Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi, who came here to discuss business, interrupted their subsequent meeting plans, contacted Su Changqing through the organization’s intranet, as they detected the location of that energy, which seemed directed from the retreat site of their Boss.
"Did the Star Lord succeed? The intensity of this force is so high; did Boss break through again?"
"I’m not sure; maybe the Star Lord is studying a skill. Given his realm, further breakthroughs shouldn’t be so easy. Should we go over and check?"
"No, Boss stated that nobody should disturb him. Let’s not go causing trouble, and just maintain observation from outside, preventing others from approaching..."
"..."
Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi discussed, leaving the Lan Family elder who came to negotiate cooperation on the side.
The Lan Family members didn’t complain. On the contrary, they were equally intrigued by the events occurring over there.
Upon seeing the Star Alliance members’ reaction, they quickly associated with something, immediately realizing what was happening. The spiritual power fluctuation was probably caused by that existence, and they were at ease.
The strength of that existence was incredibly profound, at least above Middle Transcendent Level; triggering a massive spiritual power tide wasn’t surprising.
Simultaneously, several forces also utilized their means to acquire some intelligence about that site, knowing that Ji Xing might be taking action, promptly curbing their curious impulses, realizing they couldn’t afford to provoke it.
This unexpectedly emerged spiritual power tide caused considerable losses. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman’s location was relatively remote, being nearer to the Insect Domain and Beller Star Domain; although the spiritual power tide spread far, its power inflicted no casualties, only many Dark Spiritual Power devices were influenced, remaining paralyzed for some time.
And the originator of this event, Zhang Xiaoman, at this moment, was enduring extremely intense pain; the energy within him surged like waves, seemingly ready to burst out at any time, this sensation far more intense than when he previously consumed the Immortal Ganoderma, by hundreds of times.
