Chapter 117 Seizing the Future After a Moment



You have decided to name this sacred body "The Momentary Future Body".

It's not a case of bad taste; it genuinely resonates with reality, allowing you to glimpse the future in the blink of an eye.

[In Buddhist terminology, a kala-saṃṭa is approximately one-fiftieth of a second.]

[You can see over a hundred instants, that is, the future three seconds from now.]

[It's not just about seeing, but also about hearing.]

Therefore, since you have just awakened your sacred body, the space-time before your eyes is distorted; the scenes and sounds of this moment and three seconds from now flash alternately in your mind.

[You're still getting used to it. After a while, you'll finally be able to ignore the effects of the Momentary Future Body.]

[Because you turned off the Holy Sacrament effect.]

"Now is not the time to study how to utilize the Sacred Body; we can practice slowly later." You twirled your sword, and a surge of powerful energy flowed into the "Energy-Gathering Blade" in your hand.

The Holy Body has been obtained; now I can focus on leveling up.

You've been stuck at the early stage of the Innate Realm for over three hundred years...

"Woof?" The blue dog narrowed its eyes: "You don't want to give Sla to this prince to eat, woof?"

[Continue to charge the knife.]

[The blue dog, enraged that you ignored it, roared, "Since that's the case, then I, the Crown Prince, will pin all three of them down! Woof!"]

"This prince is going to suck the history out of their genitals one by one, woof!"

"This dog would be perfect for cleaning up toilet poop, you could try the mixed flavor."

[You unleashed a swift slash, and through the transformation and structural reorganization of the energy-gathering blade, the snow-white blade light seemed invincible, instantly cleaving open the largest crocodile demon!]

[Blessed by fortune, a drop of dew falls, a top-grade healing medicine. You hold it in your mouth, wrap it with your inner energy, and swallow it. Unfortunately, it's not rich vital energy.]

But that should be enough to sustain you in one last desperate fight.

You rush towards the nearest snow leopard, which cries out in terror, "Prince Qing, save me!"

The quick-reacting demons made their moves one after another.

A phantom lion burst forth; this was the unique bloodline projection power within the demon race's extraordinary system.

[But you endured the lion's claw strike, which cracked most of your face, but the internal energy dissipated, and the palm wound on your face healed.]

The snow leopard closed its mouth forever.

[Blessed by fortune, this time with abundant primordial energy. With nearly nine times your original essence, you refined it in an instant at that cultivation speed, directly increasing your Grandmaster combat power by more than ten times.]

[Having an innate power level of "19.5 times" that instantly defeats a snow leopard at its peak power level of "65 times," the reward given is only enough to improve it to nearly 21 times. Do you think this is a bit stingy?]

"Fine, I won't argue with you."

Behind them, a serpentine shadow attacked—another projection of a demon's bloodline, though considerably slower than the lion.

[The khaki lion's reaction speed is seven times that of a snake, no doubt about it.]

[In the remaining time, you relentlessly slaughtered several demons, relying on the divine energy to sustain your strength in battle. When the sixth elephant demon fell, the blue dog panicked.]

[It was born afraid of death. Although there were still more than twenty innate great demons on its side, it was still afraid and ordered a retreat.]

[You left behind five late-stage Innate Realm cultivators to stop your pursuit. By the time you dealt with these five demons, they had already fled thousands of miles away.]

[Xue Mang ran away with him, which you regret, as you didn't leave behind that traitor who sold out history to survive.]

[Now, you are 359 years old, with an essence level of 874%, at the early stage of the Innate Realm (28 times stronger), and your overall strength is 240 times that of a Grandmaster, or, to put it another way, 1.6 times that of a Perfected Innate Realm!]

"Senior Yun, you actually awakened the Sacred Body!" Yu Wenyun exclaimed enviously, "How did you manage to do that?"

[He wanted it too; even the worst Sacred Body was still superior to everyone else, far more useful than any Yuan Power technique.]

"As long as you're like me, reaching the peak of the initial stage of the Innate Realm, persisting for several hundred repetitions, and using all the vital energy bestowed by fortune to cleanse your acupoints, you can achieve it."

"...Senior Yun, are you saying you were previously at the early stage of the Innate Realm?"

"Yes, back then I could only reach a level comparable to the peak of the Innate Realm through a brief burst of power using a secret technique, unlike now, when I finally awakened the Nine-Complete Battle Body through my own abilities!"

"How could there possibly be such a powerful secret technique?" Huang Jingxue seemed to be talking to herself, and she glanced at you furtively.

Seeing that you didn't seem to be paying attention, she glanced at it again.

[You noticed her gaze and coughed lightly: "Don't let my current nonchalant demeanor fool you. Using that secret technique actually proportionally alters my lifespan limit and constantly depletes my lifespan!"]

[Proportionally adjusting the lifespan cap means increasing it proportionally.]

[Constant depletion would be terrifying; every second of such combat power unleashed would consume a full second of lifespan.]

Over the next three months, you and the two practiced together, becoming proficient in using the "Fleeting Future Body" technique and gradually turning its influence on you into an advantage.

[In the year 3215, you see a vast, green forest moving across the ground in the distance. That is a group of tree-folk migrating to a wondrous place on the battlefield of a hundred races: Thunderstorm Valley, to harvest Thunder God Seeds, an extremely valuable item.]

[This can be used to create the primordial core of a late-stage innate being, or materials for the Dharma body of a celestial being.]

You wonder, aren't these tree-like beings afraid of being struck down?

[You remember that trees are highly conductive. In the Azure Domain, there is a tree species called "Lightning-Struck Wood," but that's a rare species born from the one in ten thousand chance of other tree species surviving a lethal lightning strike.]

[Could all these trees be lightning-struck trees, or at least have the potential to evolve into lightning-struck trees? Surely they're not all going to their deaths, risking a Mega Evolution?]

"No, Brother Yun," Yu Wenyun shook his head. "It's a different variety. These trees are rubber trees, which are immune to lightning."

"...Then are they immune to the sun's true fire?"

"How is that possible?"

【"whispering sound."】

With rubber capable of being immune to lightning, one can't help but wonder if a Faraday cage would work.

You found an iron ore mine nearby, refined the iron block within half an hour, stretched it into a metal sphere, crawled inside, and strolled around the outer perimeter of Thunderstorm Valley.

"It works sometimes, it doesn't." You angrily kicked the metal ball away.

In the latter half of the year, you arrived at a trading market for various races, which also served as a camp.

[It's called a camp, but it feels more like a city.]

[Among them, all races, whether human, demon, monster, or spirit, got along fairly well, which was hard for Yu Wenyun and his companion to accept. How could humans and demons be neighbors, and even chat and laugh together?!]

【You've figured out the reason: all the tribes here have lost their spirit and hope; they believe they'll never leave in this lifetime.】

[If you want to get out, either break through to the Overlord level and be kicked out of the Hundred Races Battlefield.]

Only by navigating the perilous "Stairway to Heaven," where ninety-nine percent of the way to survival is certain, can one voluntarily leave.

Before entering this place, they were full of confidence. Everyone had ten times the aptitude. Excluding the one in ten thousand with a sacred body, the other ninety-nine in ten thousand could pass the Heavenly Ladder. Why couldn't I?

Then I tried it.

This really won't work.
