I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

In the dark, lightless void, a great entity composed of blood and flesh opened its indescribable, crimson eyes and quietly gazed at Xue Jing.

In that instant, Xue Jing stopped thinking.

In the Superstring dimension, where the concept of time does not exist, Xue Jing was not aware of how long he had been there or what had happened.

He only knew that in the next moment he felt, a notification sounded in his consciousness.

"[&#...%... Divine Absorption complete]"

Coming to, Xue Jing found himself back from the dark, lightless void, still in a world made of steel and metal, under a lead-colored sky where the Sky Cone was slowly but firmly descending toward his student.

In his mind, the impression of the great entity he had just seen was extremely vague, with only the image of the crimson eye relatively clear.

"..." Shaking his head, Xue Jing steadied himself.

"Was that... was that a necessary step during the activation of 'True Red,' or was it an accident?"

He looked thoughtful.

The skill description of True Red stated it involved sacrificing all special abilities, except for flesh and blood, to the True Red Lord in exchange for corresponding strength in flesh.

Such a skill, clearly related to a Heretic God, might not make it surprising to see the Heretic God itself during activation, but...

Xue Jing's gaze shifted to his attribute table.

[Divinity: 6395]

His Divinity had suddenly increased substantially.

After spending five thousand Divinity to activate True Red, he was left with sixteen hundred Divinity... but now it had increased by nearly five thousand.

That doesn't seem like a gain one would normally receive after using a skill...

Wouldn't he soon become invincible if he kept activating True Red non-stop?

Xue Jing glanced at the alert that had just popped up on his panel and immediately dismissed the idea.

"[&#...%... Divine Absorption complete]"

"It's actually a garbled message..."

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time the panel had shown such an anomaly since it had appeared on him.

In the past, no matter the circumstance, the panel always seemed to be in a 'superior' state, as if its very essence was by nature higher than everything else, even when facing Divine Relics or powers related to the Heretic God.

Therefore, Xue Jing had always had great confidence in the nobility of the panel, even when he heard Wu Youqing describe how exaggerated the Heretic God, a Superstring Entity, was. He believed that his incredible panel might be on par with, or even superior to, a Heretic God.

And now, it seemed he finally had an answer.

During the process of activating 'True Red,' he had triggered some unknown incident... or perhaps it was not an incident, but a necessary process? In any case, his consciousness had faced a great entity of a Superstring existence.

And the end result was, he had come back unscathed.

From this notification, it seemed that Ban had brought him back through Divine Absorption...

"Capable of helping me escape from the Heretic God and even absorbing its Divinity? Ban, are you truly a being that transcends the Heretic God?"

"No... It's hard to say, it looks like this absorption of Divinity was quite difficult; even the notification was garbled."

"It might even be because the 'True Red Lord' wasn't on guard, didn't care. There's too little information to understand."

Xue Jing took a deep breath.

"But regardless... Ban indeed possesses the power to affect the Heretic God itself. Although its limit is unclear, it at least reaches the level of 'not being helpless.'"

"That's good news."

Xue Jing slowly stood up.

His body felt as though it was burning, and an aura like a Saiyan who had activated King's Fist Burst Seed emanated from him.

Clenching his fist, he felt an incredible power coursing through him.

Strong, immensely strong.

He had never directly felt such raw power.

The pure, visceral sense of strength from his flesh and blood brought such a feeling of fullness that he felt the urge to roar skywards in excitement.

"Is this the effect of 'True Red'? Worthy of the special skill I activated with five thousand Divinity."

With a squeeze of his palm, his immense strength immediately squeezed the air out, forming a ring-shaped shockwave, creating a brief vacuum around his hand.

Looking up, the Sky Cone, which had previously seemed indestructible, now felt to Xue Jing like it could be easily shattered.

He knew this was not an illusion.

Pressing on the attribute table on his wrist, Xue Jing checked his current five-dimensional attributes:

Body: 11203 Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Mind: 1922

Calamity: 15629

Saint: 8257

Potential: &￥#%￥%

A body value over ten thousand!

Before using 'True Red,' his body value was around seventeen hundred.

Now, with the augmentation from True Red, it had surged by nearly ten thousand, almost seven times, reaching 11203.

From a numerical perspective, this value was about what a Martial Artist with ordinary physical talent might have at the brink of a second Breakthrough.

And— this value was for Xue Jing to use!

With 'True Martial,' he could exert significantly more power than a regular Martial Artist with the same value.

And this basic value increase represented an overall enhancement, which couldn't be simply calculated as seven times stronger than his normal state.
