Chapter 448 Martial Origin Stage! Swish!
The Essence Stones slowly turned into powder as all the Origin Essence stored within them gushed out and swirled into the blurry figure of the Mind Frog. Even the Origin Essence in the air was pulled towards it as Compass Carburettor focused, grunting in response.
He had to focus all his willpower on it and ensure it wouldn't explode. After all, a single misstep would cause the high-pressured vortex of Origin Essence to explode, resulting in his death.
To ensure foreign luck wouldn't disturb him, Compass Carburettor had been gradually developing his reserve of luck. It had already recovered to an optimal level.
The Origin Essence in him was already of a high enough potency, not to mention its staggering quality. And now, the Mind Frog was greedily absorbing even more Origin Essence from the surroundings and the Essence Stones, placing a burden on his willpower.
But, after a grunt, Compass Carburettor stabilised the situation, using his Origin Art of Divine Sense. Normally, a cultivator wouldn't be able to use any Origin Arts during a breakthrough, for this would place further strains on the Martial Spirit, even killing it in some cases.
But for him, the situation was different as he had a second dwelling. And, the Origin Art of Divine Sense was present in both the dwellings.
Currently, he was activating it through the dwelling in his body, preventing any strain on the Mind Frog.
The Divine Sense allowed him to grasp the structure of the swirl with greater clarity, allowing him to save his willpower and use it sparingly, only using it in places of necessity. The efficiency of his Origin Essence compression sharply increased, allowing him to store more and more Origin Essence in the Mind Frog.
Gong!
Suddenly, a sonorous sound resounded in his mind as the Mind Frog surpassed the limit of Origin Essence it could absorb, turning physical immediately. Even though it was somewhat ethereal, it had manifested itself into reality.
Pseudo Martial Origin Stage!
Compass Carburettor had broken through successfully. Because he had his Divine Sense, he wasn't as troubled as others in his breakthrough.
Currently, his Origin Essence quantity already reached the peak of the Martial Origin Stage despite him only being at the Pseudo Martial Origin Stage. This was thanks to his robust foundation.
As for his Origin Essence quality, it had already surpassed that of the Martial Origin Stage. All the Essence Strengthening Sparks played a vital role in this development.
Now that he finished his breakthrough, Compass Carburettor closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his body, observing the ethereal form of his Mind Frog that was currently seated on the palm of his hand.
He was able to sense it and even observe the world through its senses. It was like a part of his mind was split to house in the Mind Frog, causing it to become an extension of himself.
Compass Carburettor spent a couple of hours stabilising himself, waiting until his Origin Essence calmed down. He then took a deep breath, "Everything is riding on this part."
He had yet to complete the most important part of the breakthrough—material fusion!
Compass Carburettor took out the jet-black fruit from his storage bracelet and placed it before the Mind Frog.
Fusion for Trash Martial Spirits was the hardest as their physical forms had to be melted to fuse with the materials before they could reform their shapes.
It was easier for Human Martial Spirits that just needed to swallow the material and digest them for the fusion. For an Earth Martial Spirit, it would have to dissolve with the material before a shape for them could be created.
For Compass Carburettor, he would be proceeding through the Human Martial Spirit's route.
The Mind Frog opened its mouth and swallowed the jet-black fruit as immediately, it felt like an explosion went off in his mind.
A stream of information gushed into his mind. Memories, emotions, thoughts, wills, etc. conforming to the three Systems and countless cultivators and Origin Beasts surged in him.
For a moment, it felt like his mind had expanded to become a vast ocean that rapidly dissolved everything that came his way. It was a mystical feeling way superior to the constant enlightenment he experienced in the Temperate Refinement Zone.
Slowly, from its ethereal state, the Mind Frog turned physical. Its body morphed, changing colours to become jet-black, riddled with glowing spots resembling the stars in the night sky.
The stomach Artifact also fused with its body as a result, combining with the material the Mind Frog had swallowed. Slowly, its functions were upgraded, modified, and changed as Compass Carburettor passively accepted everything.
He had been nervous at the start. But the moment the information flood happened in his mind, he relaxed, understanding that his gamble had been successful.
It took an hour before the material finished fusing with the Mind Frog, causing it to seem fragile at first glance, but it was as tough as the toughest material. It also had an elastic nature to it, giving it a mysterious feeling.
Compass Carburettor closed his eyes, smiling, "I've lifted a part of the Restriction Order."
After all, he was currently in his mind space, gazing at his three Personal Fragments, or the worlds they formed in the mind space.
Even though they were still chained like before, he was able to touch the chains now. "I can't do anything to them yet, but the fact that I can touch them means that I would be able to find a way to destroy them in the future."
He then looked at himself, noticing that his figure in the mind space wasn't his human figure, but that of a frog.
The Mind Frog!
Slowly, he spent time digesting all the gains, breaking into a smile immediately after upon learning of his new ability, or rather, a mutation of his Mind Attribute, "This is perfect!"
He grinned in delight, stating with a tone of confidence, "I have the means to fight the Luck Based Systems now."
"Or rather, they've lost the fight already."
