Chapter 659: 367: Leap and Infinite Possibilities_2
Chen Sheng’s Attribute had already reached 14 billion.
This was far from Chen Sheng’s limit.
However, on the panel,
the increase of the Attribute had almost come to a standstill.
Every second,
the Attribute would only increase by a little bit.
It seemed as if some invisible force was preventing Chen Sheng from growing stronger.
At the same time,
the invisible barrier descended once again.
That sensation of being constrained by the surrounding space, struggling to move, returned.
Compared to the time at the World Core,
this time the feeling was even more distinct and intense.
“Interesting.”
In response,
Chen Sheng had anticipated this early on.
A smirk formed on the corner of his mouth.
The barrier in front of him that was preventing him from growing stronger didn’t make him consider retreating; rather, he felt excitement at facing the challenge.
“Let’s see just how far you can stop me.”
Chen Sheng muttered under his breath.
Though his tone was calm,
his gaze became increasingly sharp.
Thunder Breath,
twenty times, activate!
Boom!!!
Thunder burst forth within his body.
The thick, nearly solidified plasma of thunder filled his eyes.
Cracks continuously appeared on the surface of Chen Sheng’s skin, with thunder light bursting forth from the gaps.
At last,
a pillar of thunder shot up into the sky, instantly leveling the clouds and mist above the island.
The intense light,
at that moment even replaced the sun’s rays, covering the sea surface.
On the panel,
the Attribute which had already been stagnating, began showing signs of loosening with the enhancement of the Power of Thunder.
One second ten points.
A hundred points.
A thousand points.
At last,
the Attribute started to rise once more.
Within the short span of a breath,
it had already reached 18 billion, and was still increasing.
In such a state, Chen Sheng felt the power of the barrier weakening continuously.
Until,
it completely shattered!
Crack!
Faintly,
a crisp sound lighted up in his mind.
The invisible barrier that had obstructed Chen Sheng thunderously shattered.
The stifling sensation that had been constantly binding his body disappeared.
Thereafter.
Boom!!!
A silent roar.
Exploded within his mind.
“This is—”
Chen Sheng’s pupils dilated slightly.
He seemed to want to say something.
But the sudden change that followed nearly crashed his brain.
His voice stopped abruptly.
With a thud,
Like a heavy object landing,
Chen Sheng’s massive body crashed mightily to the ground.
The phenomena caused by his burst of strength also rapidly subsided.
After a long while,
Chen Sheng once again fainted during a breakthrough.
His body emitted a faint, flickering light.
It seemed as if,
within his body,
some indescribable transformation was occurring.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye,
the sun set and the moon rose.
Silver light poured down from overhead onto the sea, glistening with ripples.
It was not until this moment
that Chen Sheng, holding his head, groggily awakened.
He opened his eyes.
Radiance burst forth.
Instantly dispelling the surrounding light.
“Huff——”
He let out a long breath.
Chen Sheng sprang up from the ground.
He looked around.
His pupils slightly contracted.
The world,
had completely changed.
His perspective was no longer that of ordinary people who could only perceive the physical aspects of things.
Space.
Like panels of glass arranged all around, within arm’s reach.
Chen Sheng stretched out his finger and lightly tapped.
An invisible distortion appeared instantly in the air.
It seemed that with just a bit more force, the space itself would shatter.
“Interesting.”
After a simple try, Chen Sheng didn’t pay much attention to it.
The changes between his body and the world were nothing but trivial details to him.
What was more important
were the changes inside his body.
Chen Sheng quickly closed his eyes and entered the state of inner view.
With this one look,
joy unconsciously spread across his face.
Although physically, there appeared to be no significant changes in his body,
he could clearly feel that each cell within him had become more active than before, and there was an indescribable sensation.
It was as if…
they had shed some kind of shackles and became a more liberated kind of existence.
The once-limited body,
constrained by the laws of the world, could not undergo transcendental change.
But now,
they no longer belonged to this world.
Whether from the perspective of the physical body or the soul.
Chen Sheng had completely liberated himself from the world’s rules, becoming an entirely independent entity.
This meant that,
when he would once again use the power of his soul to transform his physical body,
there would be boundless possibilities!
Without delay,
Chen Sheng swiftly sat down, ready to begin his envisioning.
He intended to endow every cell of his with the same characteristics.
To meld his body into a unified whole, without any weakness to speak of.
——————
Two days later.
On the island.
Chen Sheng stood in front of a tree.
With bated breath and a solemn gaze,
he assumed a fighting stance, long absent, quietly mustering his strength.
And then,
he struck out swiftly!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His fists continuously struck the pile, yet couldn’t shake the robust trunk in the slightest.
Only the branches and leaves occasionally trembled.
Such strength
could be considered even less than that of a slightly more robust ordinary person.
But Chen Sheng was getting happier and more excited with each blow.
He pounded away for more than ten minutes.
Then, without a single sign of redness or breathlessness, he ceased his stance.
As for the result…
The tree in front of him
didn’t have even its bark scratched.
Of course,
it wasn’t that Chen Sheng had grown weaker.
Quite the contrary.
Due to the transcendental leap in the essence of his life, bringing infinite possibilities,
Chen Sheng had successfully transformed the cells throughout his body during the two days.
He made them equally sensitive, equally resistant, equally strong.
No longer distinct from one another.
In doing so,
he also perfectly controlled his body.
He could blow away the entire island with a mere breath if he wished,
or he could land successive punches yet fail to break the defense of the tree before him.
Now, Chen Sheng
no longer had to worry about the problem of becoming too strong to live like an ordinary person as his strength increased.
