I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Chapter 627: Chapter 345

After being promoted to a B-level Custodian and gaining increased access, as well as by reviewing the materials on White Crow and Cease-Blades, Xue Jing also learned about many of the top-ranking Divine Relic information.

He had already basically understood the information about GOD-287.

This Divine Relic had only one function.

Wear this object on your hand, speak the name of a specific person, and loudly proclaim: “This person’s cultivation is not below mine!”

Then, the strength of the targeted individual would decrease to the same level as the wearer.

The effect could be described as extremely terrifying and practical.

Of course, such a powerful conceptual ability came with certain restrictions.

First, there was the issue of the gap in strength between both parties.

The greater the gap in strength between the wearer and the cursed individual, the shorter the duration of the curse’s effect.@@novelbin@@

And every time it was used, GOD-287 would immediately trigger the Transfer Nature of the Divine Relic, making it a one-time-use tool.

“…You guys really are willing to pay the price.”

Xue Jing said noncommittally.

Just like Li Suisui said, the Xu Family, or perhaps another unknown power, really did invest heavily this time to deal with him.

Although GOD-287 might not rank too high in sequence, it was, in theory, a major weapon that could be used against super-powered individuals.

Even someone of the Extreme Martial King’s invincible stature might feel apprehensive upon seeing this thing.

He never expected that it would be used against him – a ‘small fry’ whose combat strength was estimated to be at the Second Breakthrough level…

How much must they hate him?

“Mr. Xue, I really enjoyed the days I spent with you, you are a good teacher, and I think, I probably will never forget you for the rest of my life.”

Xu Zixuan showed a nostalgic expression.

“If possible, I also wouldn’t want to make a move against you, but you are too strong, even Li Suisui is not your opponent, I can only play the villain now.”

“Die here, Mr. Xue.”

Saying this, Xu Zixuan extended his arm toward Xue Jing and loudly declared: “[This person’s cultivation is not below mine]!”

In an instant, Xue Jing immediately felt an invisible, mysterious force enveloping him.

It was like wearing a thin cover, his entire body entwined with invisible shackles, feeling as if everything was bound.

Xue Jing had once heard some people who became disabled due to accidental amputations describe phantom limb sensations.

It was like the cut-off arm still existed, still could freely be controlled, creating an illusion, even sensing pain in the arm.

Xue Jing was now experiencing this sensation, as if he had become handicapped.

His once incredibly strong body weakened nearly tenfold, but still retained the illusion of his previous strength, struggling to exert force as if a disabled person could still feel the movement of a lost limb.

“—Three minutes fifty-three seconds!”

“In this time, Xue Jing and I are equally weak, this is the only chance to kill him, hurry up!”

Xu Zixuan shouted.

The knots on his hand still vanished without a trace.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, with no one taking immediate action.

Everything happened too fast, and they had not yet grasped the full picture.

Although they heard Xu Zixuan say this, they hesitated, uncertain whether to believe him.

If he was lying, the cost of facing the Demon King… they couldn’t afford it.

“It’s true.”

Li Suisui spoke indifferently.

“Xue Jing really has weakened.”

Xu Zixuan frowned and glanced at Li Suisui.

He couldn’t understand why the other didn’t join the fray.

If it were him, he would be able to settle the now-weakened Xue Jing in an instant.

“Indeed, Xue Jing’s aura suddenly weakened a lot; I thought it was an illusion or he was reining in his aura… turns out he truly became weaker.”

“…Are we going in?”

“Should be able to, right?”

Everyone hesitated, and just then Li Suisui suddenly turned and left: “Boring, I’m leaving.”

“Eh?” Everyone looked at Li Suisui’s departing figure, all of them stunned.

“What do we do now?”

Xu Zixuan was a bit frantic: “…Well, go on, what are you waiting for, we’re running out of time!”

He really hadn’t expected, after using such a valuable item, that these companions could be so unreliable.

The strongest and most reliable fighter, Li Suisui, had just walked away, leaving only cowards who didn’t dare to confront Xue Jing even after a major cutback.

“He can’t beat any of you right now, if you all attack together, he’s dead for sure, stop hesitating!”

Time ticked away, and Xu Zixuan grew increasingly anxious.

Zhou Yinglin gritted his teeth, glanced at Xue Jing who was still sitting calmly on the metallic lotus leaf, showing no sign of fleeing, and his hawk-sharp eyes focused.

Of everyone present, he had the greatest psychological shadow regarding Xue Jing; not only had he witnessed the astonishing fight between Xue Jing and Li Suisui during the day, but he had also been thrashed by Xue Jing twice before.

But now, it might be his only chance in life to rid himself of this psychological shadow, he couldn’t miss it.

“Xue Jing… long time no see. It’s quite unexpected that we would clash again under such circumstances. I suppose you didn’t see this coming.”

Zhou Yinglin took two steps forward, holding a spear that looked like an Embroidered Needle magnified countless times, pointing it at Xue Jing, he spoke.

“Hm?” Xue Jing tilted his head in confusion.

“Who are you?”

“…” Zhou Yinglin’s eyelid twitched.

“Still so good at being annoying. Forget it, today is your day to die; I won’t bother arguing with you.”

“Prepare to die, Xue Jing!”

Zhou Yinglin stomped heavily on the ground, creating a dent in the Steel Land, and shot forward, the Embroidered Needle in his hand thrusting straight at Xue Jing.

The flawless Flawless Spear Technique was executed from his hands, targeting each of Xue Jing’s vulnerabilities and vaguely forming a visible Heavenly Feather Garment.

Since his defeat to Xue Jing, he had reflected deeply and practiced diligently, but the growth of his strength had not been as rapid as he had hoped, but was crawling slowly like a tortoise.

He was well aware that this was due to a ‘thorn’ in his heart.

That man who had beaten him twice had left too deep a shadow, a despair that felt like there was no chance of surpassing no matter how hard he tried.

The murkiness in the heart would affect the clarity of one’s spear skills; without dispelling this shadow, his abilities wouldn’t just stop progressing, they might even regress and he’d become mediocre.

But now, the chance to break the shadow was right before him.

The man in front seemed so weak that he felt like he could kill him with a simple poke, a world apart from the Great Demon King he deemed unbeatable.

But no matter what, he was Xue Jing himself!

If he could kill him with his own hands, not only would the shadow in his heart be completely erased, but he might even undergo a rebirth, and his strength could soar, possibly even reaching the Limit-breaking Level of ‘Heavenly Person First Transition’ in his spirit realm!

Getting closer…

The spear, still a mere half-meter from the target, yet Xue Jing remained motionless.

At this moment, he couldn’t even react to my speed…

Zhou Yinglin’s heart started to race, a surge of ecstasy bubbling up within him.

I’ve done it, I’ve succeeded!

In the next moment.

Crimson-gold light points suddenly gathered in front of Xue Jing, casting a dazzling brightness in the pitch-black night.

In just an instant, a three-meter-tall humanoid being, looking like two people fused back-to-back, appeared in front of Xue Jing.

In Zhou Yinglin’s unbelieving gaze, the being with four hands and two indifferent, divine faces stretched out one palm and lightly grabbed the tip of Zhou Yinglin’s spear.

He was like a paused video, his advancing motion abruptly halted.

The immense force transferring from the spear tip revealed the power of the creature before him; muscular, massive arms lifted high and smashed down fiercely.

“Bang——!!!”

Zhou Yinglin was sent crashing into the Steel Land like a meteor, forming a human-shaped crater.

While everyone stood in a daze, Xue Jing’s voice slowly filled the air:

“Have you all misunderstood something?”

“——Just because I’ve weakened, doesn’t mean you’ve become stronger, right?”

…
