Chapter 499 Physical Body Energy Transformation

"I see!"

Li Yao's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

After the Fourth Raikage activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his cells became more energy-oriented, a significant improvement over what Li Yao had previously perceived.

However, this is different from the previous method where all cells in the body adapted to lightning.

Although the Fourth Raikage's physical cells have improved significantly in their adaptability to lightning, there are still differences in the strength of their adaptation.

The cells in the body near acupoints and cavities are significantly more adaptable to lightning than those in other areas.

Recalling the scene of the electric current stimulating the acupoint space just now, Li Yao pondered for a moment and understood the principle behind the Fourth Raikage's training method.

The key lies in the acupoint space.

Acupoints are special organs within the physical body that bind chakra energy. While they suppress and bind energy, they themselves are also deep-level energy.

It is also because the acupoint space is a special kind of energy that Li Yao was able to condense acupoint space chakra with the same function based on the fluctuations of the acupoint space.

The Fourth Raikage uses needles inserted into acupoints to release a strong electric current that stimulates the acupoints, causing the energy that the acupoints restrict and suppress to diffuse outwards.

The electrical energy that is bound by the acupoint space becomes gentler and easier for cells to receive, thus making the cells more adaptable to the energy of lightning.

At the same time, stimulating acupoints will cause them to release trace amounts of life potential.

These life potentials act like catalysts, stimulating cells to adapt more quickly to the flow of current when they encounter high-intensity electric shocks, thus enhancing their adaptability to lightning.

Finally, the black liquid without chakra induced the cells in the Fourth Raikage's body to repair themselves, further enhancing the cells' adaptability to lightning.

This is also why we don't need nutrient solutions containing chakra here.

Using a nutrient solution containing chakra is like writing down the final answer directly after seeing the correct answer in a math problem. The result is correct, but there is no problem-solving process involved, and it does not improve one's abilities.

If a nutrient solution containing chakra is used, then it is external chakra repairing the cells. Without the cells' own active participation, their adaptability to lightning will be weakened.

Strong electrical stimulation.

The influence of acupoint space on energy.

The catalytic acceleration of life potential.

In addition, it induces cell self-repair.

Under the fourfold enhancement, the Fourth Raikage's fifteen-minute electric current training improved his body's cells' adaptability to lightning by two small increments.

"continue!"

Seeing a visible improvement in strength is very exciting, especially when there is pressure from a powerful enemy. The Fourth Raikage didn't want to waste any time and wished he could complete the training of the complete Lightning Release Chakra Mode in a single day and possess the strength to defeat the Fourth Tsuchikage.

"Yes, Raikage... Sigh!"

"Raikage-sama!"

The old man in the white coat suddenly exclaimed and stepped forward to support the Fourth Raikage, whose face had suddenly turned pale and whose Lightning Release Chakra Mode had instantly disappeared.

The Fourth Raikage looked tired, his eyelids constantly trying to close.

"Damn it!"

The Fourth Raikage looked unwilling and struggled to get up. The old man in the white coat had already seen the Fourth Raikage's mental state and quickly said, "Raikage-sama, your mental exertion is too great. You can't continue this kind of extreme training today. You must wait until you are in better spirits before you can continue."

The Fourth Raikage's physical body was in good condition, but his mental state had reached its limit. After listening to the old man in the white coat, he wanted to refute him, but his eyelids eventually closed uncontrollably.

The Fourth Raikage fell into a coma, or rather, fell into a deep sleep.

Great power is not easy to obtain, especially not at this rate.

The Fourth Raikage just now was truly fighting with his life on the line, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. It's already a miracle that he survived. If he wanted to do it again, the result would be certain death.

"Let's see how many times you can pull this off!"

Li Yao smiled, then left and entered his own divine power space.

It's sizzling!

It's sizzling!

Lightning crackled around Li Yao as he practiced Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Li Yao didn't know that there was a complete form of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but based on the degree of cell energy transformation after the Fourth Raikage activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which was half flesh and half energy, he knew that the final form of Lightning Release Chakra Mode must be the complete energy transformation of the physical body.

That kind of physical energy transformation and water transformation technique is different; it is the transformation of matter into energy. According to the mass-energy equivalence equation, the transformation of matter into energy will unleash extremely terrifying power.

Similarly, the conversion of energy into matter also gives matter extremely powerful physical properties.

The reason why the Third Raikage's physical body was so powerful was related to the fact that his physical body could be partially transformed into energy.

Once the physical body is completely converted into energy, the energy-converted physical body will gain extremely terrifying attribute bonuses.

According to Li Yao's estimation, it is not impossible for him to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball head-on, and his physical defense may even be stronger than that of his body, which is endowed with ten million tons of hypothetical mass.

Li Yao was naturally very interested in the state of Lightning Release chakra, where the physical body was completely energized.

Li Yao already understood the principle behind the device used by the Fourth Raikage to accelerate the adaptation of body cells to lightning and convert it into energy. With his abilities, he could achieve the same effect, or even faster, without the device.

Li Yao doesn't need to use electric current to stimulate the acupoint space and accelerate the energy conversion of cells. He possesses acupoint space chakra, so he only needs to release lightning current to himself while condensing acupoint space to cover all the cells in his body.

It is more comprehensive than the Fourth Raikage's stimulation of acupoints with needles, taking care of every cell in the body.

At the same time, the cells' powerful self-repair ability also allows Li Yao to increase the output stimulation of lightning without worrying about his body being torn apart.

In addition, Li Yao's powerful chakra control allowed his body cells to energize much faster than the Fourth Raikage's device.

The key is that Li Yao's mental will is at the Six Paths level, which allows him to maintain this state of cultivation for a very long time. He could cultivate for at least a month without eating or drinking.

After advancing to the Six Paths level, Li Yao broke free from the limitations of ordinary people in terms of chakra, physical body, and soul.

He no longer needs to eat and will not starve.

Li Yao only needs to absorb natural energy from the outside world and convert it into chakra to live indefinitely and live a good life.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was an immortal who lived as long as heaven and earth at this time.

soon.

A night passed.

Li Yao's cell energy transformation has reached the level of the Third Raikage, who was half flesh and blood and half energy. Compared to the Fourth Raikage, who had to risk his life, Li Yao, who possessed a Six Paths-level physical body and soul will, could cultivate the Lightning Release Chakra Mode much faster.
