As his strength and growth rate continue to increase.

The Thunder Breath, which originally required an exaggerated number of skill points, would now take only about half a day of work to break through.

When the time comes,

His strength will once again be elevated.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

He sat cross-legged on the ground.

The sound of the thundering sea echoed throughout the cave.

During this time,

Chen Sheng immersed himself in cultivation without caring too much about the outside world.

The phone given to him by Vermilion Bird had not received any news from the Kyoto incidents for a long time.

It was only occasionally that Vermilion Bird would send messages telling Chen Sheng that everything was fine and not to worry.

Chen Sheng did not believe him.

He knew very well.

As time goes, day by day,

The Heavenly Person could awaken at any moment.

Facing a common enemy of humanity,

Neither the Respected Elder nor Li Wuji would compromise,

Both holding on to their own ideals and unwilling to give in.

They wanted to thoroughly integrate the power of the human side before the Heavenly Person appeared.

Regardless of open or dark struggles,

They all wanted to quickly eliminate the other and have enough preparation time before the Heavenly Person’s awakening.

Therefore,

Although the surface of Kyoto seemed calm,

The underground was filled with turbulence.

It would only take one catalyst for a complete eruption.

Chen Sheng didn’t know when or where this catalyst would be,

And if it would affect him.

All he knew was,

He had no power and no influence.

The only thing he could rely on was his own strength.

Only then could he…

Clear the obstacles.

Kyoto, Power Sect.

Third floor underground in the Headquarters building.

Drip.

Drip.

The sounds of electronic equipment occasionally echoed.

In the pure white room, various instruments were piled up.

In front of each instrument,

Staff members in white gowns were operating complicated and dense control devices.

They operated while nervously watching the screen above the equipment.

The screen was blue.

On the left half, a human figure was depicted.

There was a highlighted area within the figure.

The highlighted areas on each instrument’s display were different.

Muscles, blood, nerves, organs, etc.

Dense data contained detailed information about various body parts.

Serval connecting lines extended from the back of the equipment.

Their endpoints were the cylindrical container in the center of the room.

A burly body.

Eyes of pitch black created by numerous tiny pupils.

The surface muscles were like cast steel, full of power.

This person inside the container,

Was none other than the Sect Master of Power Sect,Xiang Li.

His body was suspended, wrapped in a pale blue liquid.

A breathing mask covered the lower half of his face, used for communicating with scientific researchers from the outside world.

“Sect Master,”

“All data adjustments have been completed.”

“Are you sure —”

An old man with white hair stood in front of the container, hesitating as if to dissuade the plan.

But before he could finish,

“Enough.”

Xiang Li’s voice resounded in the room.

It carried an unquestionable tone.

Knowing Xiang Li’s personality,

The old man’s lips trembled slightly.

In the end,

He chose not to say anything more.

He raised his hand slowly.

His clenched fist made a creaking noise.

The old man seemed very nervous,

But it wasn’t his fault.

That’s because,

What they were going to do now was too crazy.

Nuclear Fist.

It was a secret skill developed by Xiang Li himself.

The intent of the art,

Was to enable the cultivator’s attacks to possess power comparable to that of a nuclear explosion.

But as the cultivation progressed,

Xiang Li gradually felt the limitations of this technique.

Nuclear explosions,

Required specific elements found in nature to be completed.

These elements, when split or transformed, would release a large amount of energy.

This energy would then rapidly affect the surrounding elements of the same nature, causing a chain reaction.

Thus,

Resulting in a terrifying amount of energy.

However, the human body

Does not possess the same characteristics as these natural elements.

Cells cannot produce large amounts of energy when combined or split.

Although it is possible to forcibly change one’s properties with the power of the soul, eventually achieving the desired goal,

To do so,

The required spiritual power would be too overwhelming.

Xiang Li simply could not see the endpoint.

Therefore,

he decided to take another approach.

The authority of the Heart’s power of the Respected Elder can, to a certain extent, change the real world.

Xiang Li entrusted the other party to create human cells with fusion reactions and significantly lower the activation conditions.

He wanted to inject these cells directly into his body.

Then, with the power of the soul, forcibly transform the flesh to accept these cells and control them sufficiently.

Once completed,

he could use these cells to simulate a nuclear fusion reaction, generate a tremendous amount of energy in his body, and use it all against his enemies during battles.

Of course,

this was all just a plan.

Xiang Li could not estimate what changes forcibly accepting nuclear cells would bring to his body.

He might be affected by radiation, leading to cell necrosis.

Or perhaps, due to rejection reactions, more severe consequences could occur.

Even his genetic sequence could be destroyed by radioactive nuclear cells, causing Xiang Li to die on the spot.

But he had no other choice.

He wanted to defeat Li Wuji’s side with overwhelming strength.

He wanted to fight against the awakening Heavenly Person.

He wanted to become stronger and stronger,

strong enough to be unparalleled.

Some risks had to be taken.

Xiang Li had experienced countless gambling like this throughout his martial arts career.

He had never lost before.

He believed,

that this time, he would not lose either.

Thinking of this,

Xiang Li retracted his thoughts.

His pitch-black eyes slowly moved down and fell on the white-robed old man in front of the container.

“Let’s begin.”

“…Yes, Sect Master.”

The old man closed his eyes.

Took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, only determination remained.

He swung his arms gently.

“Begin.”

The scientific researchers around started operating quickly.

Inside the cylindrical container,

countless mechanical tentacles slowly stretched out.

They wriggled,

and gradually brought the metal probes at their tips closer to various parts of Xiang Li’s body.

Finally,

they slowly penetrated.

To ensure a smooth circulation when nuclear fusion reactions occur within the body,

these nuclear cells must be accurately injected into various parts of the body.

The probe approached Xiang Li’s eyes, sliding along the gap of the eye socket and pierced into the skull.

Such an experience,

could cause ordinary people to suffer spasms, even faint.

But from beginning to end,

Xiang Li’s expression did not change at all.

It seemed that no matter how much pain, it was difficult to affect him.

Once the probe stopped,

the white-robed old man spoke again.

“Injecting the first batch.”

As soon as the words fell,

the pre-prepared nuclear cells began to be injected into Xiang Li’s body through the probes.

Xiang Li also entered a state of soul consciousness, ready to remodel his own body.

Since the first batch was mainly to test Xiang Li’s body’s reaction, the injection amount was not large.

It only took a few seconds.

The metal tentacles had already retracted.

The old man nervously stared at the screen above, observing the changes in Xiang Li’s body.

At first,

The human figure on the screen showed a safe green color everywhere.

But as time passed by,

the figure gradually changed to red.

“Some of the body’s blood is gradually necrotizing.”

“Some cells are dying.”

“The organs show mild damage.”

All of these reactions were within the expectations of everyone.

After all,

these were nuclear cells with nuclear properties.

Even if Xiang Li’s body was strong enough,

enduring nuclear radiation,

and placing nuclear cells directly in the body were two completely different things.

The pale blue liquid in the container was a special solution that could quickly repair the body.

At this stage, it was not their turn to intervene.

Every thing,

depended on the changes that followed.

From beginning to end,

the old man’s gaze never left the screen above his head.

At this moment,

the old man who had studied his whole life,

could not help but pray in his heart to a god whose existence was uncertain.

Hoping that,

Xiang Li could withstand the assault of the nuclear cells and make his strength progress once again.

Unfortunately,

the gods did not seem to answer his expectations.

Half an hour after the injection,

the light on the human figure on the screen did not show any signs of turning back.

And,

it gradually turned darker and darker red.

Until…..

exclamation marks symbolizing danger.

appeared on the screen of various instruments.
