Chapter 494 End Of A Training Arc
Chapter 494 End Of A Training Arc
Deep under the sea of the Lord of Lords pagoda, and several hundred miles away from the Pixie's home I was sitting in complete darkness.
The pressure of the sea itself was like the hands of god pressing down on me forcing every ounce of my body to feel an incredible amount of pressure and weight.
Yet, I remained calm and collected.
This was the first method to train the last verse of the Golden Titan scripture.
To go under and resist the pressure of the entire sea as it felt like it was collapsing its full weight on you. And thanks to this reinforced body, I was able to do it, not with the same ease as I thought I would. The pressure alone was enough to cause a man to burst, but I strode through it with sheer willpower and body.
I had to go under without using Qi to protect myself and going all the way to this depth to further enhance and refine this body once again, it was like an act of quenching a blade to perfect it.
It took me several years to reach this point in depth but once I was there and was fully capable of sustaining all the weight it was time to go on to the next step.
Now it was training the Golden Titan's moves under this pressure. And I started by practicing the first move of the Golden Titan's arts, the Fist of Roaring Ki, God's Eternal Fist!" and I swung forward.
My hand though didn't move as fast as I wanted and looked like it was in slow motion. Strain and pain, agony and suffering were all I got from trying to do that move.
But this was the right way, so, I swung again, and again, and again.
Hours, days, weeks then months, and finally a year had passed, only by then was I able to send the entire torrents of salted water shaking and rippling. Causing the sea to split and reveal the skies.
This was all without using an Ounce of Saint Qi, otherwise, I'd have been able to vaporize the whole sea from the first blow.
The idea isn't to improve Qi but to improve my body's eternal force and power purely from inner strength.
The entire sea splitting apart from the force of one swing was a clear sign of intermediate mastery over God's Eternal Fist. Then I took another year practicing the Fist of Eternal Gold.
Then the Ancient Stomp which impacted greatly on the biome I even felt sad for some of the unfortunate fish.
A year later, I continued practicing the rest of the move sets, wreaking complete havoc inside the water biome and changing its structure completely, the sea became even deeper at the expense of my practice.
Comes the final part of the Golden Titan scripture is the hardest bit. The body modification.
This wouldn't have been possible for me, because of a simple fact. Genetics.
The Golden Titan wasn't a human. He was the decedent of a race of giants, and he could easily switch off from one to another, however, I on the other hand I am a pure-blooded human without that genetic ability, that is of course before I was given the scripture.
The scripture as I had believed was nothing but a set of instructions but what I only came to realize after finishing the full scripture was that it was actually a memory imprint of blood Essence. Pure Golden Blood that shaped itself like a scripture. And once I understood it, it transformed into a golden blood drop that cozily fused itself with my body.
The thinness of that Blood Essence was absurdly high, and in any normal circumstance, it wouldn't have had any effects on me.
But with the addition of the body modified by the Stone Aged Milk, it took in that drop of blood and infused it with me, giving me a fraction of the abilities of the Giant Race.
Which was by the way, fucking amazing!
I rose up from the depths of the sea and into the open plains then began applying my Qi following the instructions of the Golden Titan scripture.
Suddenly steam so much of it began surging out of me as my body began gaining an absurd amount of mass in a matter of seconds. It wouldn't have been anywhere near possible to have something like this happen even by getting that blood essence for anyone else besides me. Simply because of having learned the Poison God's Body arts. Which allows me to rapidly create and grow muscle and bones by converting Saint Qi.
The Giant Race had their own way of transforming into giants, but I'm using a cheat by relying on the Poison God's arts to further increase my size. This was similar to what the Body Cultivator did when I fought him, even when his body was broken he was still regenerating, only I was generating more…meat.
Suddenly my size began increasing to disgustingly epic proportions, as I was able to see mountain peaks not from below but from above them. Stunned at the size increase and my not-so-surprisingly naked self, I calmed down and began withdrawing my Qi, causing my body to return back to normal.
I didn't dare try out any moves using a body this big but a learned a few things.
The first thing is, I need stretchy clothes, it's awkward enough to be moving around naked not to mention fighting with a shlong swaying everywhere. Also, it's fucking cold.
Secondly transforming like this is absurdly taxing on my inner Qi, I basically bled half my reserves by transforming once. I don't even think I'll be able to fight a long fight in this state.
And finally, this wasn't the only transformation the Scripture had, there was another one, but the warnings about it were too severe even to try and attempt it, it was the very thing that the Golden Titan warned me about.
Golden Titan's Madness…
Basically, it overtaxes the body's inherent ability, exerting so much Qi and power by an absurdly high amount and potency, the consumption of Qi is barely enough for me to remain in that state for a minute, and the consequences of such a move is complete immobility after the usage and maybe even death if performed incorrectly. Not to mention the increase in loss of rational thinking the more you remain in that state. It wasn't called a Madness skill for anything.
The pros of this ability however could somewhat outweigh its cons, since you'll be able to use a hundred percent of your body's ability. Meaning the full force of every blow, the full speed of one's movement, and the full capabilities of one's body.
A trump card to use on one's last foot… useful.
But I'm not that tempted to try it out right now, I like to keep a calm head.
I spent sometime later designing a set of robes that would be able to support the Titan form and just as I was done I had a visitor.
"Lord," spoke the automaton.
"What?" I asked.
"The barrier protecting the pagoda doesn't have much longer…he'll break through soon…"
"Well, good enough for me, how long was I here?" I asked.
"Twenty-two years," said the Automaton.
"Damn, he breached in faster than I thought," I said.
"It's because he consumed every cultivator on the platform and grew stronger," said the Automaton.
"I guess I wasn't the only one who got a power-up, but I had more time, so it's time to test things out," I said.
