Chapter 256: Astounding Battle Prowess (1/2)
After consuming eight spirit jades, Nie Tian finally finished his transcendence.
As of now, four vortexes of spiritual power were rotating at high speeds in Nie Tian’s spiritual sea. Moreover, his spiritual sea had expanded a few times, and been filled to the brim with pure spiritual power.
Not only that, when he carefully examined himself, he found that his vortexes of flame power, wood power, and star power had also expanded by at least three times.
That was when he realized that breaking through to a new stage could cause significant changes to his spiritual sea.
The transcendence of his spiritual sea not only allowed him to obtain more spiritual power, but also enabled him to condense more fire essence, wood essence, and stardew in his vortexes of flame power, wood power, and star power.
Now, he could keenly sense that surging spiritual power, as well as the three types of power with different attributes, were being rapidly infused into his meridians.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
One fiery snake after another rapidly formed and flew out of Nie Tian’s fingertips.
He could also feel that the speed at which the spiritual power circulated in his meridians was greatly enhanced.
Eyes narrowed, he focused all his attention on the changes inside of him while he ran tests by summoning flame power, wood power, and star power.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and awoke from his cultivation and enlightenment, realizing that the efficiency at which he generated and utilized power had greatly improved.
Before, he would have had to spend a few seconds to cast the Flame Spirit Incantation and form fiery snakes.
However, he now only needed one second to channel the flame power within his spiritual sea to his fingers through his meridians and create blazing snakes.
“How about the chaotic magnetic field?!” With that thought in mind, he immediately placed his palms opposite each other and formed the chaotic magnetic field at the fastest speed possible.
In the blink of an eye, a one-meter-radius chaotic magnetic field was formed around him.
If it were before he made his breakthrough, he would have had to spend quite a while to summon all the types of power he possessed and adopt the right state of mind to cast the spell.
However, he, at most, needed three seconds to form it now.
Not only did it require less time for him to form the magnetic field, but it also required several times less time to expand it.
“Ten seconds!” He managed to expand the magnetic field to a ten-meter range in ten seconds.
Meanwhile, he examined himself, and found that he had only consumed less than one tenth of the power in his spiritual sea to achieve it.
It seemed that the acceleration and expansion of the vortexes had made it easier and faster for him to build up the magnetic field than before. At the same time, the significant growth in his spiritual sea allowed it to hold more power, and thus only one tenth of his total power was enough to establish a magnetic field that large.
“Let’s try something else!” Nie Tian took a deep breath and clenched his fist as flames of anger began to burn in his heart.
When his heart was filled with burning rage, the various types of power he possessed rushed out of his spiritual sea into his fist, along with his flesh power and psychic power.
Before, he hadn’t been able to control the process. Once he had used the technique, he would drain every last bit of his strength.
However, it was different this time. To his surprise, he was able to control the amount of every type of power he summoned with great precision.
He only summoned one fourth of his spiritual power, and only added a very small amount of flame power, star power, wood power, and flesh power to cast the Rage Punch.
BOOM!
As soon as he drove his fist into a five-meter-high solid stone beside him, it exploded, sending pieces flying in every direction, dust slowly falling from the air.
Afterwards, he didn’t have the same exhausted feeling as he had before when using this technique. Instead, he was still energetic and in high spirits.
From what Nie Tian could tell, the punch he had just thrown was more powerful and destructive than any of his previous strikes.
“After rising to a new cultivation base, everything is different,” Nie Tian muttered to himself.
Since he could now accurately manage the power he added to the Rage Punch and thus control of the might of it, he no longer needed to worry that he would become meat waiting to be carved after using this technique.
Now, he could choose between dealing ultimate damage to his enemy by draining all his power with one strike, and striking four times using one fourth of his power each time.
