The imprint left by the Blood River Typhon is both a threat and a stress tester.
This residual characteristic continually siphons Qin Shi’s life force, like a tube inserted into his body, draining his blood.
But Qin Shi’s extraordinary body, leveraging their mastery of the "Void Meditation Technique" and "Sole Ancient Path," forms the "Dual Furnace."
Spiritual Ability and Martial Arts, two paths merge into one, running at an unprecedented efficiency.
"Luckily, there is the ’generous contribution’ from the followers Deep-diver Russell and Insightful Kazan."
Qin Shi silently operates the Dual Furnace, the platinum Scorching Sun roars vigorously.
Every release of light and heat turns his extraordinary body into a high-efficiency centrifuge, crazily compressing the influx of life essence and thus purifying it.
The life core of Deep-diver Russell, the spirit source of Insightful Kazan, and even the high-energy nutrients just ingested, are all, in this intense high-concentration crushing, squeezed out the most refined parts.
Qin Shi takes a deep breath, resembling an ’extraordinary creature’ sitting at the center of infinite dimensions.
He clearly "sees" that the lifeforce, originally as rushing as a river, is forcibly contracted at the core of the platinum Scorching Sun, its density rising at a terrifying speed, resembling a celestial body collapsing inward.
The fierce heat spreads from his body, not painful, but a feeling of power being extremely concentrated, ready to explode.
The threshold from Specialized Level Fifth Rank to Fourth Rank becomes clear and visible under such immense internal and external pressure.
"The life force index is rapidly increasing. Maybe it’s an opportunity to unlock the sixth grand limit."
Qin Shi remains undistracted, body and mind harmonize, Dual Furnace roars, casting an extraordinary body. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net
If he crosses the Specialized Level Fourth Rank, he can officially "cast a power body."
Imprinting the domain into every inch of blood and flesh, every bone.
In ancient times, this was called "the ultimate leap."
Crossing this step, one truly touches the essence of the Martial Arts Path evolution, transforming into ’Sacred.’
"The ’Sacred Breath’ bestowed by the master True Dragon, has the effect of purifying blood and flesh, cleansing impurities, just can suppress the activation influence of the Blood River Typhon."
As the prototype of Dual Furnace condenses, the sacred breath radiates on the surface of the platinum Scorching Sun.
Qin Shi opens his eyes, the gaze turns into substance, like electric beams shooting out.
The red imprint tightly entwining flesh emits a scorching pain, becoming the best catalyst.
The residual characteristic of the Blood River Typhon like a red-hot branding iron, forcing the Dual Furnace to explode with efficiency beyond limits.
Qin Shi’s breath slightly speeds up, he can feel, the part of flesh the imprint tried to activate being highly compressed.
The extremely condensed lifeforce tightly suppresses it, preventing it from spreading, only able to struggle madly in a localized area like a trapped beast.
This process instead further stimulates flesh’s activity, like rocket fuel propelling lifeforce levels higher and higher.
"Using the flesh as a battlefield, this experience is not the first time."
Qin Shi recalls in the remnant crystal, veteran He and veteran Qi using him as a "field of trial," each imparting the true essence of inheritance.
He silently "enjoys" this extreme confrontation, infinite dimensions open their doors, energy factors flow like torrents.
A certain critical point finally arrives.
A low rumble only Qin Shi can hear sounds within.
All his body, and at the domain’s center.
The Scorching Sun that was compressed to the extreme, hot till it turns white, suddenly collapses inward!
Then, a new force more condensed and substantial bursts forth!
No longer a rushing river, but an abyss without depth!
The total amount of lifeforce did not skyrocket, but its "quality" underwent earth-shaking change.
Every unit of lifeforce contains energy density far exceeding before, with an operational feel of mercury-like solidity, harmonious and smooth strength.
The platinum thunder is rioting!
The domain again expands, covering and opening wide.
The platinum brilliance that was somewhat thin before now flows like tangible liquid metal all over.
Specialized Level Fourth Rank!
The Scorching Sun resonating with the Power of Truth, infinite dimensions collapse and disintegrate, then reborn, as if orbiting celestial bodies constantly providing energy factors.
"Taking a solid step forward."
Qin Shi exhales deeply, the activation domain influence of the Blood River Typhon is weakened significantly, he clearly perceives, the surrounding space seems to become more "clear."
The air flow, the trajectory of dust, even the footsteps of soldiers far away patroing, all carry a sense of unprecedented "reality."
The invisible domain released by the platinum Scorching Sun seems to possess the ability to "interfere with reality," imposing influence like countless feelers more delicately.
This is the preliminary manifestation of "the scene of truth"—not purely a clash of energy, but starting to touch the fundamental laws of matter and energy.
Qin Shi sits still, suddenly speaks.
Standing at the door, Long Qiuyuan is extremely astonished.
"Boss... the high-energy nutrients you wanted."
"Leave them on the table."
Qin Shi’s voice is calm, clearly he is right in front of Long Qiuyuan, yet there’s an inexplicable distant feeling.
Long Qiuyuan, as a specialized level expert, has quite sensitive perception ability, she seems to detect something, staring hard at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi nods, as if just stating a trivial matter.
Long Qiuyuan opens her mouth, finally only transforming into a powerless sigh:
"The gap between ordinary talents and the human Scorching Sun... is it really this huge?"
