I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Zhushan Ying's troubles were mostly within the scope of things he had originally planned to solve, so Xue Jing was not confused at all. He just needed to be capable enough to solve everything.

Now, all you have to do is keep moving forward quickly.

Inside a room at the Carrie Hotel.

Xue Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the 'gun and arrow' that looked like it was cast in gold in both hands.

[Possessing Divinity: 7633]

The 'Divine Soul Transcendence' in the sequence ranking [GOD-251] directly brought him more than 5,500 points of divinity.

It far surpasses all the divine relics I have encountered before.

Although he had also absorbed the Primordial Wind of All Things, which was among the top 100, the Primordial Wind of All Things was divided into nine, with a total of nine paths. The amount of divinity he absorbed in the case of one-ninth of it was far less than that of 'Transcendent Divine Soul'.

Xue Jing ran his hand over the golden gun, feeling a slight warmth that was also burning hot.

In this world, all divine relics possess an origin.

After God died, his blood was scattered throughout the world, clinging to all things and making them divine relics.

The origin of a divine relic can be an object, a creature, or even a fantasy or a story.

The origin of 'transcendental spirit' is already widely recognized in academic circles.

It comes from a Christian legend.

Legend has it that Saint Teresa, a Christian saint, once received divine revelation in a dream and experienced 'Ecstasy'.

This is how she described her feelings:

“I saw a golden spear with flames burning at its tip. The spear pierced my heart countless times, all the way to my lungs. When the spear was pulled out, it felt as if my internal organs were being pulled out of my body as well. The great love of God enveloped my whole body. It was intense pain. I couldn’t help but groan, but I didn’t want to be free from it.”

Therefore, 'divine ascension' is regarded by Christianity as a state of being close to God, meaning 'the soul is elevated and ascends to the side of God,' which is the meaning of the soul ascending to heaven.

Although outsiders might think it's all just drug use and high, that's the gist of it.

The [GOD-251·Soul Transcendence], which originated from this legend, has a function that is very similar to the legend.

Piercing it through one's heart will bring one into a state of spiritual transcendence, allowing one to experience ultimate joy, a state of bliss.

According to those who have used it, that state is similar to a super-enhanced version of enlightenment, making one seem to have truly reached the realm of gods, with an extremely clear understanding of all things. Bottlenecks that were difficult to overcome in the past can be easily broken in this state, as if taking something out of a bag.

Therefore, the most common use of [Soul Transcendence] is to break through mental limits.

Even the most dull and talentless person, after using [Soul Transcendence], will be able to break through the limits of the spirit with 100% certainty.

It's practically a pay-to-win item in a game, ignoring everything and forcibly breaking through realms.

But naturally, something this useful doesn't come without a price.

'Soul transcendence' is a state in which a person's soul rises and gets closer to 'God'.

Although God is dead, death is not the end of God. For a mere mortal soul to get close to the true God... even a dead God, is an extremely dangerous thing.

Most people who use this divine relic eventually become so close to the god that they become obsessed with it, causing their ego to melt away and they to become a part of the god.

After stroking the golden spear and arrow for a while, Xue Jing snapped his fingers, and an invisible rift opened in the void, into which he placed the spear and arrow.

This divine relic might be of great help to him.

The higher the limit value, the more difficult it is for a person to break through the limit.

Ultimate limit breakers are extremely rare, far rarer than ordinary limit breakers. While this is partly due to the extreme rarity of divine factors, achieving ultimate limit break is inherently hundreds of times more difficult than achieving ordinary limit break.

Although Xue Jing is not a limit breaker, his current limit values ​​are clearly no less than those of limit breakers.

With the [Divine Soul Transcendence], no matter how difficult it is for him to break through his limits, it should be no problem.

Alternatively, if you encounter any problems in your martial arts practice that you cannot solve or understand, you can also resolve them through spiritual transcendence.

The only problem is that you have to be careful when using it...

"But speaking of which, when I first used [Crimson] and saw that source of flesh and blood, was that also considered a state of 'divine transcendence'?"

Xue Jing rubbed his chin, pondering.

"In that case... if I use GOD-251 to ascend to heaven and get close to God, wouldn't I be able to directly fleece God using the interface?"

He felt that this was very likely.

However, this thing is still a dangerous product, so let's try it again when we need to overcome some bottlenecks in the future.

……

Three days passed.

The day Ye Honghui, the master of the first floor of the top nine hundred floors, agreed to the challenge is today.

Xue Jing arrived at the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace once again.

"Xuanling, what do you think my chances of winning are?"

In the temporary lounge on the 46,000th floor, Xue Jing stretched his body and casually asked a question.

Xuan Ling's pleasant female voice rang in my ears.

"In your current state, if you only use pure physical strength, your chances of winning are infinitely close to zero."

Xue Jing nodded: "I see."

"Then let's get a little serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, his beautiful, dark blue eyes flashed with a fiery crimson light.

Once the Crimson One is activated, guess its combat power?

……

Don't wait

Something came up, and I'm only just getting home to start writing now; it's quite late.

Chapter 369 Ye Honghui, whose Jade Bones Never Fade, the Fierce Battle Unfolds, Xue Jing's Fist (4K)

The Ultimate Martial Arts Ascend to the Heavenly Palace, 46,001st floor.

The main temple of the layer.

In the spacious dojo, two figures sat facing each other, with a tea table between them.

Both men appeared to be young men under thirty. The short-haired man, who looked slightly older, reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him. His movements were casual and ordinary, but his hand was frighteningly steady. Even when he brought the teacup to his lips to drink, the surface of the tea did not ripple or sway at all, as if it were fixed in the teacup.

"Brother Ye, why did you accept Xue Jing's challenge?"

After swallowing the tea and savoring the aftertaste for a while, the mature-looking young man with short hair asked a question.

Ye Honghui took the teapot and refilled the other person's tea.

He was an unusually thin man, lacking the robust physique of a typical martial artist. He wore a worn-out white martial arts uniform, and the shape of his sternum was clearly visible through the skin at the side opening of his chest. He was so thin that it looked like he had been suffering from severe malnutrition for a long time.

His exposed palms, feet, head, and neck were all so thin that they were almost skin and bones. If it weren't for his rosy complexion and bright eyes, he would look like an anorexic.

"There's no benefit in winning this kind of challenge from young people; it's just taken for granted. If you lose, you'll just become a stepping stone for their reputation... There's no need to fight."

The short-haired young man stroked his teacup with one hand and spoke.

"Do you think I'll lose, Fan Gu?" Ye Honghui said.

His voice, unlike his withered, mummified appearance, was surprisingly clear and pleasant to hear.

Fan Gu paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I don't think you'll lose, but anything can happen... I've heard some rumors recently."

"Some of the people who took the joint exam with Xue Jing almost regarded him as a god... It is said that even Li Suisui was defeated by him."

Ye Honghui took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I know much more than you do."

“He not only defeated Li Suisui… but he also killed Zhige’s ‘Lion Eyes’.”

Fan Gu frowned: "That ultimate limit breaker?"

Ye Honghui nodded.

Fan Gu tapped his knee with his fingers: "How did he do that? Surround and kill? A sneak attack?"

“He was killed head-on, literally beaten to death.”

Ye Honghui said.

“Li Suisui’s report clearly describes the process… He also participated in the killing of ‘Lion’s Eye,’ but according to him, he was of little help and it was basically Xue Jing who took care of him.”

Fan Gu's expression turned serious: "He directly killed an ultimate limit breaker..."

Ye Honghui continued, "This person seems to be a very special recipient, possessing at least five or six strange divinely bestowed secret techniques."

"Brother Ye, aren't you in a very bad situation now...?"

"When you're in the martial world, you're not always in control of your own destiny." Ye Honghui squeezed the teacup in his hand.

"The Secret Martial Society wanted to kill him, but he has now successfully imitated that person and formed a golden body. Due to the Venerable One's taboo, the Secret Martial Society can no longer target him openly. The Extreme Martial Ascension Palace is one of the very few places where he can be killed openly and fairly according to the rules."

“Of the nine hundred floor masters, including myself, a third have some connection with the Secret Martial Society… These people have all received orders from the Secret Martial Society to capture Xue Jing here.”

"Others may be able to refuse, but I cannot. The Secret Martial Arts Society helped me perfect the 'Jade Bone Technique,' allowing me to avoid stepping into the evil path like my predecessors. This time, I must give it my all."

Upon hearing this, Fan Gu frowned and said, "In a life-or-death battle, we martial artists are already at a considerable disadvantage against those who have received the gift, given our simple methods. Xue Jing has the ability to kill an ultimate limit-breaker, so you are probably in grave danger this time."

"Not necessarily." Ye Honghui's thin fingers rubbed the teacup in his hand.

"The Supreme Martial Heaven Palace is a sacred place for martial artists. No one is allowed to use any means other than their own physical body here, otherwise they will be expelled by Xuan Ling."

"But if we only consider pure martial arts techniques... my internal energy is just right to counter it."

……

With a faint crimson light that seemed capable of scorching people flowing through his hair, Xue Jing, in his fiery-haired and blinding form, walked along the corridor of the 46,001st floor of the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace.

"Xuan Ling, don't you have anything to say?"

In the silence, Xue Jing suddenly spoke.
