I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse - Chapter 247
Chapter 247: Source Power Fifth Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Dream Source and the Crimson Queen fell silent together.
Lu Ming’s words left them unsure of how to refute.
The first five projects within the Flame Clan Royal First Research Institute were not just good; they were astonishing!
The Green Ivy gathered plants and formed a large living forest. Its strength was about the level nine of a Spirit Realm, and its vitality was extremely powerful!
Extreme Dao experts were originally Fifth level Spirit Realm Flame clansmen. After undergoing the physical modification, although their combat strength could not reach the Source Realm, their strength could definitely be considered invincible in the Spirit Realm.
The combination of the Soldier and the God Slaying Blade was even more terrifying!
The Soldiers were not particularly strong, only at the eighth level of the Spirit Realm, but they were incredibly fast and had formidable defense.
Due to the nature of their life form, the Soldiers were immune to the Source Power control characteristics of Source Realm experts. Combined with the devastating killing power of the God Slaying Blade, even a Source Realm expert might meet with unexpected failure when facing this combination.
But, unexpectedly, within such a short time, all of these were crushed to pieces by Lu Ming.
The Crimson Queen remained silent.
The Dream Source stared at Lu Ming and exclaimed, “What kind of thing are you exactly!?”
“Human… I’m a human! Can’t you tell?” Lu Ming strode forward and roared in a low voice as he walked.
Lu Ming found it strange…
These monsters always liked to ask him what kind of thing he was.
You guys are the ones who are some things!
Your entire family is something!
“I’m not a thing! I’m a human!”
“Can’t you tell that I’m human with your big eyes?! Then 1 won’t hold back!!”
“Boom!”
Lu Ming’s legs shot out, instantly shattering the glass shield surrounding the Dream Source.
He lifted his foot and stomped down.
An incomparable power pressed fiercely towards the Dream Source!
In terms of size, Lu Ming’s stomp was like an adult male of a normal size stepping on a tomato.
The tomato was crushed into a pulp, and that was the inevitable outcome.
However, when Lu Ming felt the tremendous resistance under his foot, he could not help but sigh slightly.
“I knew it wouldn’t be that easy…”
That’s right. How could the Dream Source virus, the ultimate boss of this place, the monster nurtured in Laboratory One, be stomped to death by Lu Ming?
Everyone saw…
The giant raised his foot and stepped down, but his foot could not press down in midair no matter what.
Under Lu Ming’s feet, the original Dream Source had already twisted and changed its shape just before Lu Ming attacked!
A shrill “Ah” rang out.
The middle-aged man from the Flame Clan, who had transformed from the Dream Source, effortlessly withstood the great foot that Lu Ming was pressing down with his raised hand!
Ripples emanated from the intersection of their hands and feet, forming a twisted force field created by their intense clash of power.
The two of them stood still. Only this twisted force field spoke of the shocking confrontation between the two of them!
The entire research institute began to tremble under the influence of the twisted force field.
Even this independent alternate space attached to the Fire Clan Ruin showed signs of collapse!
Until the twisted force field quickly dissipated.
Lu Ming retracted his leg and slowly took a few steps back.
Looking at the Flame Clan middle-aged man in front of him, Lu Ming nodded slightly, “You’re not bad. It seems that the projects in this research institute are not all trash.”
The man immediately smiled and shook his head, “My name is Flame Heart, and you?”
Lu Ming did not respond.
His body slowly shrank and quickly returned to normal human size.
However, this did not mean that Lu Ming had suppressed his strength.
On the contrary, at this moment, Lu Ming had entered his strongest state!
This was: Origin State!
Inside the Flame Clan Royal First Research Institute.
As Lu Ming activated his Origin State, with every breath he took, a large amount of Source Power surged from all directions and flowed into Lu Ming’s body.
At the same time, Lu Ming reached out and aimed at the man named Flame Heart who had transformed from the Dream Source.
He attempted to control the Source Power within Flame Heart’s body and render it useless!
There was no doubt that this move was an unsolvable sure-kill move for all superhumans below the Source Realm!
But…
Nothing happened…
“I see…”
Lu Ming slowly lowered his hand and looked at Flame Heart with a dawning realization.
“You’re indeed not a creature under the Source Power Extraordinary System.”
In response, Flame Heart just smiled faintly.
“Aren’t you the same?”
Lu Ming was momentarily stunned.
Yan Xin smiled and said, “Although from all angles, you can be considered an extraordinary person under the Source Power System,
“But 1 can tell that you’re different from them.”
“The foundation of your strength is not source power at all! Instead, it’s hidden under source power. That physical fitness is simply indescribable!”
After saying this, Flame Heart pointed at Extreme Dao who had been crushed by Lu Ming.
“You’re the same type of guy as him…”
Lu Ming could not help but fall silent and slowly put down his hands.
As for Flame Heart, she only looked at Lu Ming with curiosity, surprise, and other complicated expressions.
As the last emperor of the Flame Clan and a former quasi divine level expert, Flame Heart’s judgment was terrifying.
Because of this, he could tell that Lu Ming was special.
He sighed and continued,
“Source Power Fifth Realm, Mortal Body Spirit Source Ancient.”
“The Mortal Realm is the realm where one builds their foundation. After stepping into the Mortal Realm, one will be considered to have stepped into the starting point of the extraordinary path. Within the Mortal Realm, the strength of one’s body will double with each level.”
“The Physique Realm is an advanced version of the Mortal realm. At this stage, the goal is to cultivate the body so that the cells of the body can maximize the capacity to hold the Source Power. Similarly, at the Physique Realm, the physical strength of each level will also double.”
“In fact, the significance of these two realms is the same.”
“It is to strengthen the body and make the body more adaptable to extraordinary substances like source power!”
“However, under the Source Power System, the logic of the last three realms is completely different from the first two realms.”
“The characteristic of the Spirit Realm is spiritual pressure. As for spiritual pressure, it’s an energy field automatically released when the Source Power within the body of a Spirit Realm expert reaches its peak and automatically radiates outward. At the Spirit Realm stage, Spirit Realm extraordinary individuals usually dual cultivate their body and Source Power. The rules of ‘doubling physical strength upon leveling up’ no longer apply here; instead, the level of the Spiritual Realm is mostly determined by the strength of Source Energy within their body.”
Lu Ming could not help but listen attentively.
Because no one had told him about these things.
Flame Heart continued, “After reaching the Source Realm, physical strength becomes almost negligible. Source Realm experts naturally control Source Power, and as a result, regardless of how strong the physical body of a lower-level transcendent is, a Source Realm expert can easily drain the Source Power in his body, rendering him useless.”
“At the Source Realm, the competition among peers is entirely based on the control of Source Power, and the physical body only plays a supporting role, not a decisive one.”
“Therefore, there are no longer any rules like ‘doubling physical strength upon leveling up’ in the Source Realm stage, and very few Source Realm experts even bother practicing Body Forging Techniques anymore because having a strong body is useless if one can’t match others in Source Power control.”
With that said, Flame Heart scrutinized Lu Ming again and said, “You possess Source Power control, but you’re not a Source Realm expert… You don’t even have Spiritual Pressure. However, your physical strength is higher than that of most Source Realm experts.”
“Can you tell me how you obtained your strength?”
Flame Heart really wanted to know the answer to this question.
However, Lu Ming did not seem inclined to share these details.
Lu Ming asked, “What about the Ancient Realm? What’s so special about the Ancient Realm?”
Flame Heart could tell that Lu Ming did not want to answer his question, but he did not pester him. He just smiled and shook his head, saying. “The Ancient Realm is the prerequisite stage of the Divine Spirit Realm. There’s even a saying that the Ancient Realm experts are the reserve divine spirit seedlings chosen by the supreme gods.”
“The key to this stage is adaptability to the essence of the gods and acceptance of the rules within the Black Mist Zone. In summary, the purpose of the Ancient Realm is that one needs to adapt to the prerequisite of the Divine Source: the power of the natural order to complete the preparations before ascending the Heaven Ascension Stairs.”
Lu Ming was at a loss.
There were many terms mentioned that he could not understand.
Flame Heart could see that Lu Ming was confused, and he said, “You’re still weak, and you don’t need to know all these things. When your strength reaches the appropriate stage, you’ll naturally understand everything.”
“But before that…”
As he spoke, Flame Heart clenched his fists and gently tapped them together.
The two fists collided and produced a “clang” metallic sound!
He smiled and said, “1 want to play a game with you.”
“Defeat me, kill me! Then I’ll give you something fun.”
“Otherwise, die.”
