The enormous eyes of the Qilin demon body shifted towards your tiny figure, its demonic energy surging forth like a vast ocean, transforming into an extremely terrifying attack.
[You, not to be outdone, compressed your true essence to its absolute limit within this illusory future—]
You collided fiercely, exchanging devastating blows!
The wind howled, and the heavens and earth trembled!
Matter within a radius of ten thousand miles was shattered, and a massive shockwave swept outwards, even engulfing some innate demons tens of thousands of miles away who hadn't had time to escape, who were now swirling wildly in the storm!
"Not bad, really not bad!" You were sent flying backwards for a distance, stopping mid-air.
[Judging solely from output, this Primordial Demon Body possesses approximately 550 times the combat power, surpassing even Shi Lan, the strongest single human!]
However, it is Shi Lan with 1.00 times her original essence.
[The Supreme Being's life force has significantly increased compared to previous realms; a difference of three to four times can allow for a stalemate for several minutes in a head-on confrontation.]
Therefore, although this giant Qilin is more than twice as strong as you, the clash just now only caused you mild to moderate injuries, including turbulent blood and minor internal tears.
Healing from injuries sustained at the Supreme level is no easy task. Using true essence to heal is not only relatively slow, but also consumes a huge amount of true essence, requiring approximately half of your true essence and three minutes to fully recover.
Yun Shou: "..."
Okay, three minutes is indeed a long time for a supreme being in battle. If it were a certain famous giant mountain super-powerful one, the lights would have to be turned off.
"To be honest, I didn't know that either. Although healing injuries is a combat skill and can also be categorized as martial arts knowledge, theoretically it can be inherited..."
"For example, I know how a mid-stage Overlord heals himself because I was injured by that Shark King."
However, he was unaware of the Supreme's healing rate.
After all, he had just become a Venerable One, and the only injury he suffered was from the attack of that Merman True King. He was gone after a few hits, so he didn't have time to heal.
Another way to heal injuries... is by consuming "essence".
[Full name: "True Source of Destiny"]
[The Origin is a kind of energy similar to True Essence, born with the formation of the "Supreme Immaculate Body," but this energy is countless times more important than True Essence!]
True essence, simply put, is Yuan energy, which can be replenished at any time, and it's okay if it's depleted.
Yun Shou: "Similar to glycogen in the human body, or ATP?"
[As for the Origin, it affects too many attributes of a martial artist. Once the Origin is depleted, it will damage both the strength and lifespan of a Supreme Being.]
Yun Shou: "Similar to proteins in the human body."
He knew this because he had used it before.
[You know about the Origin; you used the Origin when you cleansed Zhu Baowen's acupoints with the True Origin! (Chapter 296)]
[When you initially used "Essential Blessing," a group of Supreme Beings who benefited suffered damage to their very essence, affecting their lifespan and strength. (Chapter 309)]
Damaged essence can be repaired through cultivation, but the repair process is extremely slow.
As for the uses of the source, they are twofold: first, for temporary bursts of power; and second, for ultra-fast recovery from injuries!
[Your current mild to moderate injuries would take three minutes to heal using True Qi in combat, but using Primal Essence would only take a little over a second—just a breath away!]
The drawback is that after using it, you quickly feel a deficiency in your body, experiencing waves of discomfort. Just this one use is enough to deplete your vital energy, and it will take almost half a month to replenish it.
[If you were to consume your essence at the highest rate and enter a burst state, your strength could increase two to three times, making you comparable to the Qilin demon body. At this time, the essence lost per second would require more than ten days to replenish!]
[For every minute of this burst of power, your maximum lifespan will be reduced by one year, and it will take two years to recover that lost year!]
[This is a unique life-burning burst technique possessed by the Supreme Being, and its effect is quite superior. More powerful methods are basically self-destruction or the like.]
After all, from the late stage of the innate stage onwards, the human body is close to a perfect state; there is no such thing as a "flash of inspiration that unleashes a strike with three times the power." All outputs exceeding the full force of a strike come with a price.
[In this future with nearly forty seconds remaining, after exchanging blows once with the Qilin demon body in your original state, you no longer felt any remorse and used your full power to fight it head-on.]
[By the time this sixty seconds had elapsed, although you had suffered considerable losses, the Primordial Demon Body opposite you was also in dire straits. Its outer skin had been blasted open, revealing a dense network of crisscrossing bones and veins inside.]
[If this were a real-world war, who knows how many ancestral corpses the various Qilin races would have to dig out of the icy cold storage to fill the Primordial Demon Body.]
[Incidentally, most of the damage on its body comes from parts assembled from other elemental Qilin, such as water, fire, ice, and lightning; very few are from wind Qilin.]
"Even in battle, you don't forget to minimize losses for your own kind, Hagifeng, you're something else!"
[The future ends in sixty seconds, and you receive that memory.]
[Then it was refreshed three thousand times.]
[In reality, you and five other Supreme Beings have just finished causing destruction on the demon side and are now moving towards the human side. There are still twenty seconds before the Qilin demon body is unearthed.]
[In those three thousand future possibilities, you turn around and rush towards it, and by the time you arrive at the scene, it has just been unearthed.]
[Three thousand battles, each lasting 40-39 seconds.]
[For the first thousand rounds, you maintained your original power throughout, gradually mastering its attack rhythm. Coupled with your superior combat strength after a burst of power, and your increasingly terrifying ability to anticipate the enemy's moves after each encounter, you gained an ever-growing advantage.]
[For the 121st time, you've pinpointed the "cabin" of this Qilin demon body, more than two hundred meters deep in the back of its neck.]
[For the 674th time, in the final second of your battle, you tore through the flesh and blood of this primordial demon body, shattering the flesh at the back of its neck. Staring at the hundred-meter-long wind qilin inside, its body pierced through bones and blood vessels, resonating with demonic energy, you grinned, ending this future amidst its terrified gaze.]
[For the 851st time, you severed the link between the Wind Kirin and this assembled corpse.]
[For the 904th time, the Wind Kirin's true form was only at the mid-level human level, with approximately 25 times the combat power. Therefore, it was severely injured and destroyed within a few moves by you, whose normal state had 225 times the combat power and whose original explosive state had over 600 times the combat power.]
Even the strongest being, with the greatest vitality, will be easily crushed when the difference in strength reaches more than twenty times!
[For the 1001st time, drawing on your experience of repeatedly and skillfully defeating the Wind Qilin, you stopped burning your source energy and decided to face the Qilin's demonic body in your normal state.]
