Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

Chapter 153, The Ultimate Combat Power of a King

The value of a treasure lies not in how precious it is, but in how much it can enhance the user's life.

This powerful artifact, combined with his Heavenly Eye, is enough to make any enemy's attack appear as slow as a tortoise in his eyes.

No matter how strong the attack, it's useless if you can't hit anyone; no matter how thick the defense, it will eventually break if you're used as a target.

"Spatial Ripple" can restrict and slow down the enemy's speed. Combined with Tianmu's prediction, Jiang Ming can almost pass through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single petal on him.

Although Jiang Ming was very satisfied, he did not redeem it immediately, but continued to look at the following.

The list of special resources is vast and comprehensive, containing all kinds of rare materials, energy cores, plant life, metal life embryos, and more.

Jiang Ming's self-illumination ultimately settled on an entry in the "Special Resources" category.

"The Heart of Spirit and Flesh - A special treasure of plant life. It can completely integrate the divine power that supports plant life into its owner's body, granting the owner the full combat power of plant life. Price: 20 Treasure Points."

"There's actually such a treasure."

Jiang Ming was surprised.

He can fight using the immortal divine power of the Tree of Life, which is one of the special features of the Tree of Life.

However, the immortal divine power of the Tree of Life belongs to the Tree of Life, not to Jiang Ming himself.

The difference is enormous.

The immortal divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life reached a level three million times that of a human realm lord.

However, Jiang Ming could not unleash such power using the immortal divine power of the Tree of Life.

Even with the precise guidance of the Heavenly Eye and the perfect integration of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, his utilization rate of the divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life was still pitifully low.

They can't even achieve one percent.

However, relying on the immense immortal divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life, Jiang Ming was also able to unleash considerable strength.

The fact that he possessed both spiritual and physical strength actually allowed him to perfectly unleash the divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life!

That's really something.

20 heavy treasure points.

This price is quite expensive for a special auxiliary item.

After all, a high-grade treasure weapon only costs between 9 and 45 treasure points, while the "Heart of Spirit and Flesh" is neither a weapon nor armor, nor even a combat treasure.

It is merely a bridge connecting the owner with the life of the plant.

Borrowing and integration—a difference of one word, yet worlds apart.

Borrowing is using external forces. No matter how convenient you are with it, it is ultimately not yours.

This is the difference between a prosthesis and a real one.

Integration means turning external forces into one's own.

Just like when a person receives a transplanted arm, after a period of adaptation, the arm becomes part of their body, perfectly fitting with their original flesh, nerves, and bones.

"If I could utilize the divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life to its fullest extent, my combat strength might reach the limit of a King!"

"Even if this spiritual and physical heart isn't a treasure that perfectly suits me, it's still a treasure of this level in terms of enhancing my combat power."

Without hesitation, Jiang Ming raised his hand and gently tapped the light screen.

"Exchange - Heart of Spirit and Flesh".

Jiang Ming also directly redeemed the previous "Time Ripple".

The huge stone disc in the center of the side hall, with a diameter of 100 meters, split open from the middle. The splitting speed was very slow until it revealed a passage leading to a bottomless abyss. Immediately afterwards, two treasures floated up.

One was a fist-sized, emerald-green crystal, shaped like a heart.

Jiang Ming raised his hand, and the emerald green crystal floated up from the stone plate and landed in his palm.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like holding a piece of warm jade.

"The heart of spirit and flesh."

Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction and put the Soul and Flesh into his World Ring.

The other item was a palm-sized, silver-white disc, the surface of which was engraved with countless fine spatial runes.

The runes were layered and intertwined, forming an extremely complex natural pattern.

At the center of the secret pattern, concentric ripples are slowly spreading.

Jiang Ming glanced at the remaining treasure points on the light screen.

2 heavy treasure points.

That amount of money couldn't buy him anything he needed.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Jiang Ming turned around and walked out of the side hall.

Within the world of the ring.

Jiang Ming sat cross-legged, with the emerald green "Heart of Spirit and Flesh" floating in front of him.

"Let's begin."

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, and his third eye quietly opened.

From that hyperdimensional perspective, the internal structure of the soul and body is revealed in minute detail.

It was an extremely pure source of life, woven from countless intricate life runes.

At its core is a tiny vortex.

The vortex slowly rotated, and with each rotation, warm life energy surged out from the vortex, flowing along the network of runes to every corner of the soul and body.

"Begin the fusion."

A bright green crystal floated up from Jiang Ming's palm and hovered in front of his chest.

An invisible force gently pressed the soul and flesh together with the skin on his chest.

In that instant, Jiang Ming felt as if a branding iron had been burned into his chest.

Excruciating pain!

The pain was extremely intense, as if my heart were being crushed and chewed up.

But Jiang Ming remained unfazed.

He experienced the information shock when his third eye was fully opened, the physical reconstruction when he awakened the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and the life transformation when he fused with the Undying Venerable's talent.

This pain was nothing to him anymore.

His third eye remained open, radiating divine light that enveloped the connection between his spiritual heart and his body.

From that hyperdimensional perspective, Jiang Ming could clearly see that the life runes on the surface of the Heart of Spirit and Flesh were being imprinted one by one into his heart.

With each rune imprint completed, Jiang Ming could feel the connection between his body and the ancient tree of life becoming closer, more natural, and more seamless.

Time flies by in the process of integration.

When the last rune imprint was completed, countless fine life runes flowed across the surface of Jiang Ming's heart.

With each heartbeat, a visible ripple of life spreads out from the heart, flowing through Jiang Ming's blood vessels, meridians, and nerves to his limbs and bones.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes and could feel the divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life entering his heart, which he could then use perfectly.

Those divine powers truly permeated every cell, every bone, and every inch of his muscle.

"Utilization rate... 100%."

A smile appeared on Jiang Ming's lips.

At this moment, the divine power of the Tree of Life is no longer an external force, but a part of his body.

"My current combat strength should be able to reach the limit of the King level. If my secret techniques are more perfect and I have better control over the treasures, I might be able to step into the invincible King level."

Jiang Ming mentally assessed his own combat strength.

This judgment is not arrogant.

The combined power of the ancient tree of life at the peak of the King-level, the comprehension of the laws of space and time at the peak of the King-level, the suppression of the eight primordial laws worlds, the battle prediction of the Heavenly Eye, and the terrifying regenerative power of the Undying Venerable's talent—these abilities have already allowed Jiang Ming to stand at the limit of the King-level.
