Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 496 Levels
Everyone even felt a slight burning sensation, which surprised them greatly.

Given this intensity, it wouldn't be surprising if the high temperatures forced them to use their defensive measures. But why does this light, even more unbearable than the sun, only generate a little heat?

Zheng Zha frowned. He was most sensitive to temperature and immediately said, "It's not that there's no heat... but rather that almost all the heat is concentrated on Mu Xiang. Even the pillar of light from the main god... cannot completely block it."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of explosions rang out in the air, originating from Mu Xiang's body. Whether it was an energy surge or a physical transformation, Mu Xiang's body remained completely still as the sounds rang out; instead, the now extremely short beam of light vibrated violently.

The next moment, the light illuminating the entire main god square moved, rippling across the ground like water, spreading into the void, and flowing through everyone's bodies, bringing a sense of warmth.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie noticed the change and looked closely. They saw that the beam of light was turning into an extreme golden color, almost the same as Mu Xiang's body.

However, they immediately noticed something amiss... It wasn't that the pillar of light itself had changed, but rather that countless golden specks and threads of light were crowding the pillar of light projected by the main god, and then surging towards Mu Xiang's body at an imperceptible speed. Without the slightest pause, they entered Mu Xiang's body, but strangely, Mu Xiang didn't react at all; he remained suspended in the air, leaving only the sound of steady breathing.

breathe?

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie wore the same expressions as everyone else. Even they only then noticed that Mu Xiang's breathing, along with the light, enveloped the entire God Plaza. Mu Xiang's body didn't move at all; his chest didn't even rise and fall with his breath... yet the entire God Plaza trembled slightly under the light!
Even Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were speechless at this moment. They watched this scene in silence, watching the light within Mu Xiang's body slowly fluctuate, watching the light of the main god be obscured. At this moment, even time seemed to stop flowing in the light, making them forget everything else.

Perhaps for a moment, perhaps for tens of minutes, all the light froze, then surged upwards. This scene of a whale sucking in water was naturally caused by Mu Xiang, who opened his eyes at this moment, and the light within his body quietly receded. The light that had enveloped the entire God Plaza disappeared, and once again, only the God himself remained as the sole source of light in the God Space.

Whether it was an illusion caused by prolonged exposure to light or some other mystery, everyone felt that the main god was dimmer than before.

Mu Xiang remained silent in the air for a long while, looking at his hands, before turning around. This time, unlike the last time he strengthened his Kryptonian bloodline, he didn't fall down unintentionally. Firstly, his bloodline had evolved again, and secondly, he had already mastered this technique.

"How do you feel?" Zheng Zha looked up at Mu Xiang and asked loudly.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "It's worth the price."

Then, Mu Xiang slowly descended from the air, without using any flying techniques, force fields, or even microscopic manipulation. He didn't display any earth-shattering power, but everything was under the influence of his power... such as the air itself.

This was no longer a demonstration; it was instinctive for him, requiring no effort whatsoever.

“If I were to face that guy again… I wouldn’t be afraid of anything in this state,” Mu Xiang said. “But if I went all out, I could crush him all by myself…” Then, he looked at Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie: “Right now, strength isn’t the problem for me. The biggest problem is the level of attack… I’m confident I can suppress any spirit position, but I still don’t have that kind of subtle power. That’s a limitation of my realm. To completely destroy a life at that level, I have to use my power and energy to counteract it, forcibly knocking it out until it’s completely exhausted and unable to regenerate at the atomic level.”

[Even what truly prevents me from reaching the Saintly Realm... is my attack power level.]

Seeing Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie deep in thought, Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Zheng Zha, based on my experience... it might be of some reference value to you as well. Strengthening your S-level bloodline is not the end, but rather opens a path to a higher realm. Your path is different from mine. Trying to overwhelm your opponent purely with numbers is even more troublesome, so you need to pay more attention to this."

"That's a must," Zheng Zha chuckled. "Anything else?"

“Just like our insights after entering the fourth tier… If the key after the fourth tier lies in seeking within, then the role of the S-rank bloodline is to help you supplement the external conditions to perfection as much as possible. But stopping there is not enough.” Mu Xiang pondered for a moment, “After strengthening the superhuman bloodline, all my previous extra accumulations were not reset, but they have changed.”

Zhang Jie said, "Compression, right? It's certainly possible for a low-level bloodline to train and compress energy, but it's hard to compare with a high-level bloodline... Besides, if someone could truly unleash the power of a high-level bloodline from a low-level one, wouldn't such a powerful person have money to advance? Does he have some kind of weird fetish?"

[Hard to say... I'll name a certain near-saint who, in the end, only became a vampire count.]

“That’s right, it’s the recompression of the results of my own training… Although Zheng Zha is better at energy, it’s not as easy for him to increase his vampire energy as it is for me.” Mu Xiang looked at Zheng Zha, “The Kryptonian energy that I absorbed on my own, which is many times greater than that of an A-level Kryptonian, has been recompressed into my body. I can’t explain this energy transformation clearly in a short time; I have to experience it myself.”

Zheng Zha was taken aback: "Is it that mysterious?"

"It's that mysterious," Mu Xiang said. "The Kryptonian energy that had just reached Grade A, the Kryptonian energy that I refined, and the Kryptonian energy I have now are all vastly different in quality. If I didn't know how much I had absorbed, I would have wondered if what I absorbed before would have affected my current Superman bloodline."

"So... I'll have to put in more effort after the enhancement." Zheng Zha nodded, but his eyes became more serious. "Evolving along the way, each qualitative change has brought immense benefits... I want to see just how much strength S-rank vampire energy can increase for me!"

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses.
He knew, of course, that strengthening the bloodline of the vampire emperor would not immediately grant him the same level of power as the so-called vampire emperor, but his physical body, energy, and other data would reach the same level as that given by the main god, regardless of his cultivation level.

As for the prototype of the vampire emperor... the only one Mu Xiang can think of is the blood emperor of the undead races...

Cain!
