Chapter 1311: The Power of Qualitative Change

pWhat does it feel like when the body's speed surpasses the fastest aircraft in human history?

Two seconds ago, no one in human history knew.

But at this moment, Lin An knew.

At a speed of 3400 meters per second, the whole world seemed to become a straight line; the continually rising sonic boom clouds often only, several seconds after he flew past, struck the ground violently like a carpet bombing.

Merely by virtue of ultra‑high‑speed movement, a storm spanning hundreds of kilometers appeared behind him.

Thunder and lightning, in the atmosphere rubbed at high speed, the carried charge formed dense lightning, crackling and releasing currents of tens of thousands of degrees.

At such speed, Lin An even felt that his own time had slowed down.

Although imperceptible, under the clock‑slow length‑contraction effect, the flow of time had already begun to slow by a few picoseconds.

"Is this the power of the Fourth Stage?"

"Or... is there something wrong with my rule?"

Cannot be understood.

Lin An's eyes glazed over slightly; compared to still being in disbelief, unable to believe the alien species he was about to kill, he now basically didn't care about the upcoming battle.

What truly concerned him was, conversely, just how strong he actually was now.

As he stepped out of the instance, Lin An suddenly realized that he had still underestimated the terror of the electromagnetic rule.

When the system's prompt and a rule force ten times greater than his own birth surged from the void and directly entered his body, two strange energy structures were born within him.

The silvery Eternal Body rule was like crystals distributed inside his body, slowly moving.

And the rule force representing electromagnetism was a blue plasma, surging like molten lava through his blood vessels.

At the same time, the resulting boost was that every cell in his body was in an activated state, as if placed in a particle accelerator, wildly accelerating to ten times its previous operating speed.

The electromagnetic effect generated by cell friction coalesced into an unimaginable force, actually allowing him to hover without spiritual energy.

The self‑generated electromagnetic field instantly shielded Earth's gravity and, in an extremely short time, provided him with virtually limitless energy!

Now he, fundamentally, was flying by means of a magnetic field, not by spiritual‑energy propulsion as in the Third Stage.

Of course, Lin An knew that invincibility was merely his illusion, just like Zhang Tie trying to bite the sun with his mouth open at this moment.

The increase in his life level was so great that it gave him an almost divine illusion.

"If I unleash full power, just how much force can I actually mobilize..."

His mind fixed upon the flowing plasma, Lin An only felt himself like a star, the continually circulating electromagnetic rule providing an immeasurable thrust.

It was as if a single punch could, under electromagnetic propulsion, accelerate him directly to twenty times the speed of sound, blowing a hole through the entire crust with one strike?

This kind of power no longer belongs to the realm of living beings.

Under the triple enhancement of rule, spiritual energy, and flesh, he faintly felt that all combat techniques were utterly meaningless.

When he could unleash a punch of tens of millions of tons of force, everything became trash; truly, shattering the void with force!

With a single punch, all stable matter on Earth would be torn apart like paper!

Even now, as he exhaled a clear breath, under bodily compression and rule acceleration, the airflow he expelled could act like an air‑fired cannon, capable of blasting an aircraft carrier from afar and reducing a Third Stage cultivator to dust!

If combined with Cain's Blade and spiritual‑energy amplification, he could not even imagine what geological disaster a single swing of his sword would cause...

"Is this reasonable? Is this normal?"

He muttered to himself...

A flicker of confusion crossed Lin An's eyes; he always felt that something was off.

Even though this power was his, he still could not comprehend how he could be this strong...

"After officially becoming Fourth Stage, the rule power is ten times greater than in the instance; logically... shouldn't it merely mean that the duration of sustained combat is longer?"

"Why... why is even the rule effect being strengthened?"

No one could answer Lin An's question.

This feeling is like merely adding ten liters of gasoline to a car, but Lin An unexpectedly discovered that the vehicle didn't gain range—its speed jumped from 100 km/h to 1000 km/h per hundred kilometers, turning it straight into a rocket...

Really... seeing ghosts alive..

"Is it because the electromagnetic rule itself is of a stacking nature?"

"The more there is, the higher the quality?"

"Rules are not energy; they are strengthened exponentially?"

Insofar as he could understand his own power, Lin An could only vaguely arrive at this conclusion.

But he always felt that something was still not right.

In his memory, the Fourth Stage he recalled was absolutely not this strong... at least definitely not as strong as he is now.

"Electromagnetic enhancement, cellular activation, magnetic field rotation, electromagnetic control..."

"This is the effect brought by the electromagnetic rule..."

"The former can make my body erupt with unimaginable attack strength; the latter two can greatly alter matter, providing acceleration and slight gravity..."

Although there wasn't much time to test the full version of the electromagnetic rule, Lin An also had nothing to worry about.

It didn't matter; he would test it on that group of alien species later.

A Fourth Stage punching bag should be enough for him...

To the extent that he now even hoped the opponent would be a bit stronger, so he could see where his limits truly lay...

"The Eternal Body, the rule effect it provides hasn't really changed."

"On the contrary, this point actually conforms to normal logic..."

Suppressing his doubts about the electromagnetic rule, Lin An silently felt the time rule inside his body, like crystals.

He could feel that, once he invoked the Eternal Body, his body would be frozen in a certain spacetime by the action of the crystals.

Within that spacetime, unless the Eternal Body is exhausted, any attack can only approach his true body infinitely closely without being able to harm him.

Moreover, when an external force breaks through his defense, under the second layer of protective barrier, the Eternal Body will distribute the damage across various spacetimes, directly reducing the damage by over 70%...

"Invincible in attack and defense... even my mental power..."

He raised his head and looked into the distance; under the surge of his will attribute, Lin An felt that the range of his mental power had reached a terrifying hundred kilometers.

If condensed into a straight line, it could even span a thousand li, directly blasting the heads of any living beings beyond a thousand kilometers.

Just moments ago, he instantly detected four Alien Species that were out of place near Liaowang River, directly ignoring their concealment effect, and with a single thought locked onto them.

He even directly sensed the Space Seal surrounding him.

"Are you afraid I'll run away?"

"Heh..."

"Now it's your turn to run...."

He let out a cold laugh, and a flicker of cruelty flashed in Lin An's eyes. At this moment he could hardly wait to see just how strong he had become,

At this distance, he could already see with his naked eyes the four Alien Species standing ready, and even deliberately concealed his own rule-fluctuating Alien Species.

It seemed as soon as he appeared, they wanted to trap him, drain his rule power, and then kill him...

"Not a bad idea..."

"Too bad..."

"Too weak..."

"Really, a bunch of weak worms..."
