Chapter 373: Abilities Unique to Baichuan Beyond LV6 Characteristics, Mysterious

Regardless, without strength, even if the truth were laid bare before him, he could do nothing about it. No matter what towering hatred he harbored or what he needed to save, without strength he could only watch his enemies gloat. But if he had strength, even ten thousand unresolved matters would fall into place and be solved with ease.

Baichuan slowly gathered his thoughts. Fortunately, in response to his summons, the Ability Panel that had accompanied him for so long did not disappoint him—it emerged amid a faint glow.

A brand-new panel, looking as though it were clamped in the jaws of a roaring dragon's head, appeared before Baichuan:

'Name: Baichuan'

'Race: True Dragon'

'Source Point: 0'

'Abilities: Dragon Blood · Wheel Rotation Seal LV6 (Immortal · Fire/Incomplete), Sovereign of Mycelia LV6 · Life-Death Seal (Immortal · Earth/Incomplete), Sharpness LV6 (Characteristic),'

'Ability Structure Library: (Expand)'

'Kedianji…'

'Undeletable…'

"Why have my abilities decreased?"

Staring at this clean and concise panel, Baichuan froze for a moment and couldn't help but mutter in confusion. Yet in the very next instant, his gaze was drawn entirely to those two brand-new abilities.

Unlike those ordinary abilities whose text was formed from black ink, the first one was entirely rendered in a profound gold color, with a greyish-white misty aura burning around it as though weathered by the relentless passage of time—like bathing in the flames of Time itself without being destroyed. Looking closely, one could see a tiny dragon shadow resembling his true form swimming around it.

The latter exuded a crystalline blood-colored quality, as though it were the finest blood-colored gemstone meticulously carved by the most masterful artisan under heaven, or as though it had been born of heaven and earth itself. Its entirety radiated an aura like an abyss, like a prison, like the weight of an imperial decree—an aura of supreme disdain. Looking closely, one could likewise see a phantom figure circling it ceaselessly, but this phantom was faint and indistinct; Baichuan could not make out or recognize what kind of creature it was.

But Baichuan thought that this might be the true form of the being he had named the Blood Worm.

But what about the former?

The appearance of the latter had already gone through the extraordinary nature of the Star-Devouring Worm, suspected to be a higher-grade hidden ability. So the sudden appearance of this suspected high-grade special ability of the Blood Worm's power—Baichuan, who had already guessed this, was surprised but also felt it was only natural.

Not knowing the truth, Baichuan somewhat expectantly slowly tapped open the ability details of these two extremely special abilities.

This was a special ability grade he had never encountered before. Setting everything else aside, the special font and presentation alone made that LV6 Characteristic-grade ability pale in comparison:

Dragon Blood · Wheel Rotation Seal (Immortal · Fire/Incomplete): When wood perishes, fire is born. This is a special ability that the dragon named Baichuan, through a certain special metamorphosis, gathered all of his own abilities into one under a mysterious power, and metamorphosed it from a wisp of bloodline named 'Chen Dragon'.

Sovereign of Mycelia LV6 · Life-Death Seal (Immortal · Earth/Incomplete): Sovereign—supreme and exalted, god of heaven. It seems to be a power crystal left behind by a being named ** who reached the absolute limit, containing the mysterious power of the two extremes of life and death.

……

"An ability that belongs solely to me…"

Looking at the explanation on the first ability, Baichuan found himself unable to look away, staring at it in a daze.

After a long while, he slowly murmured, gazing at the information on the Ability Panel—especially the two characters 'Baichuan'—and for a moment his heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, a feeling that even made him want to roar toward the heavens.

Throughout his evolution until now, no matter how he styled himself as a dragon, it could not compare to the joy brought by the recognition shown by this incomparably mysterious Ability Panel itself.

After all, one was merely his self-proclamation, while the other was a kind of official acknowledgment!

A dragon named Baichuan!

He could be considered to have walked his own path.

This was the supreme honor for all of his own efforts!

At the same time, it was also the second ability that truly belonged to him, and the highest-grade ability he had encountered thus far—its grade was even, for a moment, comparable to the Blood Worm that was so mysterious in his heart.

What did this count as?

His efforts of less than ten thousand short years had surpassed the other party, and even the immeasurably long efforts of the entire race behind them—and he had risen to overtake them!

After a long while, Baichuan, who had regained his composure, finally looked at the second ability, and he froze once more, wishing he could wipe out the information on the Ability Panel that had been obscured into asterisks!

This Ability Panel is poisonous—it clearly knows exactly what he's most curious about, yet deliberately conceals it!

Isn't this just making a dragon's heart itch for nothing?!

After complaining for a while, Baichuan finally gathered his thoughts and began to consider the information inadvertently revealed by the Ability Panel.

For example, the suffixes after those two brand-new abilities—Immortal · Fire, Immortal · Earth…

Could this be a higher-grade classification unique to LV6 abilities? Were all abilities beyond Characteristic like this?

And for example, the most important new 'Source Point', and the newly appeared 'Undeletable'—it was obvious these two should complement each other. Perhaps once one possessed 'Source Point', one could use the mysterious power newly displayed by this Ability Panel, just like the previous 'Points' and 'Kedianji' functions.

Moreover, Baichuan guessed that this new 'Source Point' might very well involve the power of Time, and might be the true reason why there were no LV6-grade abilities among the ability models he had previously collected!

There was a basis for this. From his previous breakthroughs, it was clear enough that LV6 was an extraordinary and extremely special stage.

Unfortunately, he could not find any 'Source Point' here to experiment with. The information the Ability Panel gave him was, as always, sparse—everything required him to ponder, to seek, and to master on his own.

Shaking his head, Baichuan withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking further.

Having just gone through a great battle, it was time for him to rest and catch his breath.

Sensing the numerous Juanzhu arriving—Shi Long, Xiao Hong, Abyss Dragon, and other dragons—Baichuan also showed a faint smile.

They must be extremely surprised by his current appearance…

……

Lan Hai Xing, Tianhai City.

"Phew~ phew~~"

In a quiet, deserted chamber, Haiming clutched his chest tightly with one hand, his face covered in sweat, nervously looking around like a rat that had stolen lamp oil.

It was no wonder he was nervous—anyone who suddenly picked up a 'treasure' out of the blue would likely be as anxious and uneasy as he was.

"Is this the reason Lan Yu suddenly became stronger?"

After calming down for a moment, Haiming, who had finally regained some composure, finally released the hand that had been clutching his chest tightly. From his chest he took out a wondrous object—a delicate, extraordinary box made of precious, rare wood.

He slowly opened the wooden box,

and immediately, a dazzling treasure-light shone before his eyes, emanating a mysterious aura of ethereal mists rising and falling.

He couldn't help but gaze somewhat mesmerized at the treasure-light above. It was a section of bone, entirely jade-white in color, special and unlike ordinary bone—shaped like half a human finger bone, yet with an exceptionally sharp small section of Sharpness claw.

Looking closely at the claw tip, one could even see a strand of golden radiance, as fine as a hair yet incomparably sharp, floating upon it—as though once it Burst forth, it could cut through everything in the world.

Gazing at this special finger bone, Haiming seemed to recall the experience of obtaining this treasure.

A month ago, his worthless father, due to gambling and constant drinking, finally departed Ren Jian. That was fine—after all, between father and son there had been nothing good to say since his mother's death. But unexpectedly, the massive debt he had incurred fell upon him…

Having no choice but to start working part-time jobs to repay his debts, he never expected that yesterday, while in the restroom, he would suddenly be knocked down by a mysterious man in black who seemed to be in a frantic hurry, as if being hunted. Then he suddenly noticed that the man in black seemed to have dropped something, and he wanted to chase after him to return it.

But unexpectedly, the man in black disappeared far too quickly. With no other choice, he could only return the way he came, and driven by curiosity, he picked up the documents scattered outside and began reading them.

And this gave him a piece of information related to his former classmate Lan Yu, which actually recorded in meticulous detail the truth of Lan Yu's rise from废物 to prominence and his sudden death!

Lan Yu's death was far from as simple as the rumors outside suggested.

The entire truth had actually been concealed by those big shots from Tianhai City!

The other's rise was actually related to a group of powerful Beast Gods attempting to invade the world, or rather, because of some mysterious treasure, the other had been targeted by the Beast Gods, and that mysterious man in black was a member of some mysterious organization that had discovered this and was keeping an eye on the other.

After understanding this point, Haiming instantly realized he had struck it rich!

His chance to turn his life around from a salted fish had finally arrived!

An extraordinary treasure that even those unfathomably powerful Beast Gods wanted to snatch — needless to say, it must contain the power to free him from his debts and rise to prominence!

Everything that Lan Yu once possessed would reappear upon him!

Moreover, if he was careful, surpassing the other was not just a dream!

"Hiss~!"

The more Haiming thought about it, the more excited he became, when he was suddenly jolted back to his senses by a sharp pain. Only then did he realize that his index finger, which had uncontrollably reached out to touch that bone-shaped treasure, had accidentally been cut.

Instantly, a drop of azure blood, unusual compared to that of ordinary people, seeped out from his index finger and stained that unnamed bone of jade-white color.

He saw that jade-white bone, like a sponge, rapidly absorb that drop of blood clean, and in an instant, an eerie black light emanated from its pure jade-white surface.

It was as if some kind of will hidden within the bone had awakened within the blood!

Haiming was stunned, as a large stream of information continuously transmitted from that bone.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, his eyes flickering with an unconcealable wild joy!

This mysterious finger bone could not directly grant him any extraordinary power, but it possessed an immensely powerful ability! —

It could allow his Spirit to randomly transmigrate and reincarnate into a certain world. As long as he became powerful enough in that world, he could feed everything back to his weak body on this side! Just this point alone made it self-evident what it represented!

Once his luck exploded and right after transmigrating, he became an Innate Spirit born together with heaven and earth as mentioned in the information, his Spirit would instantly experience exponential surge, instantly becoming a lofty super powerhouse, or even a Beast God!

Even if his luck was a bit worse, as long as he could obtain extraordinary knowledge, he could still slowly cultivate and become powerful!

In this way, even if his body on this side was too trash to cultivate in the early stages, once he became powerful on the other side, he could use his powerful Spirit to passively strengthen his physical body, thus beginning his path to rise!

Perhaps, he already understood why the former Lan Yu had suddenly risen to prominence.

Think about it, with such a special treasure, who else would rise if not him?!

Haiming, already lost in wild joy, had long forgotten exactly how the former owner of this ability, Lan Yu, had died……

He had already begun looking forward to how, after transmigrating, he would go on a killing spree, and how he would rise to prominence in his main world, taking countless beautiful wives and concubines!

……

Time slowly passed. In the following days, Baichuan completely calmed his heart, considering nothing, merely spending each day accompanying these Juanzhu he cared about.

After all, since he embarked on Xingkong, he did not know how many years it had been since he had truly spent time with his Juanzhu. It was time for him to stop and catch his breath first.

Baichuan, who had expected this kind of life to last at least several years, never thought that merely half a year later, one day while accompanying Xiao Hong, he would suddenly freeze, his expression turning somewhat strange, because —

His newly born, uninhabited world had actually welcomed a new guest!

An unfamiliar "guest" that had burrowed in from nowhere, occupying a "star" that had yet to be born!

"Interesting……"

Sensing that consciousness that seemed to exude wild joy, Baichuan chuckled softly.

What was this? One moment he had just finished invading someone else's world, and the next moment, he himself had been invaded by another?

What an audacious thief from who-knows-where, daring to invade his newly born world!

He doesn't know what's good for him.

Amidst his light laughter, Baichuan seemed to gain another bit of understanding about the world within his body. Was it that these worlds had no protective measures? Or was it that someone as powerful as a True Immortal who could control everything in his own world simply didn't need any protective measures, because the strong couldn't be stopped, and the weak didn't need to be intercepted?

Thoughts flashing through his mind, Baichuan also let out a soft sigh, showed an apologetic expression, and temporarily stopped the game with Xiao Hong.

After making a few promises, Baichuan's dragon body flashed and he entered his own world.

At this moment, Haiming's heart was indeed filled with wild joy, because he had not expected his luck to be this explosive!

It was only his first transmigration. According to the information transmitted, under normal circumstances, one would need to die several times before encountering a world with a decent and suitable starting situation. He never expected that on his very first try, he would encounter a perfectly ideal world!

The world had just opened, before all spirits were born, and he seemed to have become an Innate Spirit born together with heaven and earth!

According to the explanation in that information, these Innate Spirits, as Time passed, would in later generations all become great beings that could be called deities by all living things!

Now, he had actually achieved this on his first transmigration!

Feeling his consciousness, which had been continuously growing stronger under some peculiar nourishment since transmigrating, and his Spirit becoming increasingly clear and bright, telling him that he was becoming powerful!

At the same time, his Spirit seemed to have grasped a certain extraordinary power, a power related to gale winds and speed……

It seemed he was about to be crowned as a god! Or even the master of this world!

Whether in this world, or in his main world!

Lost in his blissful, intoxicating daydream, Haiming suddenly froze the next moment. His consciousness, still curled up within the "star," was suddenly startled, as he seemed to sense something approaching……

What the hell?! In this era when all things had yet to be born, there was actually something approaching him?
