Chapter 161: Chapter 118: The Deity in the Deep Sea_1

In the great plaza of the traditional combat kingdom, martial artists from all corners of the globe stood filled the space.

These individuals, of noble status, were masters of certain martial arts schools and grandmasters of various disciplines, gathered in small groups, animatedly discussing the “Muscle Combat Technique.”

This technique, which gathered the essence of ancient martial arts, was hailed as an unparalleled divine skill.

Its effects were nothing short of magical, with the rate of accumulating inner strength alone being more than ten times faster than any previous methods!

Many masters of traditional combat were advanced in years, their vitality in decline.

When they practiced the “Muscle Combat Technique,” they took a bit longer and actually managed to deplete their vitality to a deficit—can you believe that?

It was incidents like these that made these masters realize

the true intended practitioners of this technique were far from ordinary people!

Xiang Jing was the most typical example.

Her talent lay in temporary absorption of mecha, thereby displaying a body of extremely high purity.

When she wasn’t using her talent, her constitution was no different from that of a common person, a very frail young girl.

However, when she activated her talent and cultivated the Muscle Combat Technique in her muscular state—

with the formidable Life Force Energy provided by the mecha, she didn’t have to worry about the depletion of vitality at all, focusing solely on crazily converting inner strength to fortify her flesh.

The speed was beyond ordinary people’s imagination!

In just one day, she surpassed Xiang Hui’s months of arduous cultivation.

Even without activating her talent, she possessed a body initially strengthened, light as a feather, capable of breaking stones with a palm strike.

In conjunction with the mecha, she was able to showcase tremendous strength.

Her performance, akin to a martial arts prodigy, thoroughly impressed the masters of traditional combat.

The mecha pilot represented the future!

Their enthusiasm for the Muscle Combat Technique was immense, consolidating their foundations to ensure that as soon as they awakened the Abyss Rune, they could begin their swift growth.

During this period, Jiang Chen also took a side trip to the third major kingdom.

He absorbed the unique traditional combat and super ability gene technology of that kingdom, and with the knowledge of that nation, he improved the “Muscle Combat Technique” and “Supernatural Ability Transformation.”

From that moment on, the essence of the Earth Cataclysm’s civilization was thoroughly integrated by Jiang Chen.

After some thought, Jiang Chen organized and upgraded the Muscle Combat Technique and Supernatural Ability Transformation, packaging a portion of Planet Blue Star’s technological heritage, and distributed a share to each of the three great kingdoms.

The reason for this was to consider the impact this would have in the future

One does not fear scarcity, but the uneven distribution.

Favoring any one kingdom could lead to more conflicts and unforeseen consequences.

Now, even if certain kingdoms felt shortchanged, they would prioritize digesting these inheritances and knowledge rather than stir up trouble.

And by the time they had fully assimilated them, and even carved new paths for themselves, they would lose the ability to cause turmoil—

By then, individuals like Xiang Jing who are mecha pilots will have grown.

Their collective, representing mecha pilots, is the true future of civilization.

After finishing these tasks,

Jiang Chen found time to supercharge Zero using an artifact produced by the supreme deity monster.

He also upgraded the Blood Demon Transformation module to a Supercharge Module.

A 2nd Rank Blood Demon Transformation module in its base state could provide a rate of 50 points for Blood Demon Transformation!

At first glance, it may seem 25 times greater than the maximum 2 points/s energy recovery rate provided by the Star Energy Force module—a rather staggering comparison—

But it’s important to note the Star Energy Force module also contributes to maximum energy limits, and its recovery rate is a pure value addition.

The Blood Demon Transformation module, though it seems to have a high recovery rate, is in fact merely transferring health and mana.

It does not produce any recovery on its own.

Lacking either health or mana can lead to zero gains from Blood Demon Transformation.

“Fortunately, Zero’s awakened upgrade module is a thorns vampirism module.”

“Otherwise, relying solely on time for recovery, no amount of Life Force would suffice for the Blood Demon Transformation’s drain.”

“Still, now that the speed of trading blood for mana has increased, it’s necessary to find new methods of recovery.”

After supercharging the Blood Demon Transformation, the only ordinary modules left for Zero to absorb were the final two parts.

[Crystal Rock Carapace], [Primordial Essence Strengthening].

Once those are supercharged, Zero will completely transform into a Supercharged Mecha, qualified to use the Latent Ability Upgrade.

It might just catch up to Yun’s pace.

“Let’s hope the brothers and sisters of the supreme deity monster can lend some strength…”

“With the supreme deity monster dropping Mythical Items, wouldn’t family expect to be complete and orderly?”

While Jiang Chen was busy,

his communicator pinged, sending through new messages.

“Mr. Jiang, the coastal cities have completed the evacuation.”

In the world after the Earth Cataclysm, there once were several ancient civilizations.

One of these civilizations, at one time flourishing, left behind numerous records related to super ability technology.

Many of the super ability technologies described in these records would be considered typical black technology by today’s Earth Cataclysm standards, somewhat difficult to understand.

Yet, this civilization still walked the path to extinction, vanishing into the annals of time.

Most of their remnants have, with geological shifts, sunk deep under the sea.

Only a few relics remain on land, with records related to them.

It is these records that give room for imagination.

Many believe that even today, there exists an ancient civilization, isolated from the world, developing beneath the sea.

“The records of the underwater civilization mention their provocation of the Sea Deity, leading to most of their domain being dragged under by the Sea Deity into the sea, to extinction…”

“We used to think the Sea Deity was just an embodiment of ancient people’s fear of disasters…”

“Now that ‘supreme deities’ exist,”

“It’s likely the Sea Deity is real too.”
