Chapter 220: Origin State!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The entire Imperial City District seemed to have been muted and fell into a strange silence.
When the dust of the Double Extreme Kill had dissipated, everyone saw the man in the crater who seemed impossible to kill.
Lu Ming was still alive.
Moreover, he was not living in a sorry state.
But there was something very strange…
Lu Ming’s giant form had disappeared and the new Lu Ming that appeared before everyone was very ordinary…
He stood at three meters tall, had a very ordinary appearance, and his naked body was muscular but not remarkably so.He was three meters tall and had an ordinary appearance. His naked body was bulging with muscles. Although he was big, he was nothing special.
Beautiful muscles, a perfect physique, and a very ordinary face.
That was it.
However, the remote spectators could not sense what Li De was feeling right now.
Li De could clearly sense that this version of Lu Ming was far more dangerous than the one in his Desperate State just moments ago!
He took a deep breath, squinting at Lu Ming. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and asked, “What the hell are you?!”
This question made Lu Ming raise an eyebrow.
After thinking for a moment, he replied sincerely, “Just an ordinary person who can transform in multiple stages…”
With that said, Lu Ming clenched his fists slightly, as if he wanted to feel the power of his new form.
However, to Lu Ming’s surprise, he did not sense any increase in his strength from this new form…
It was essentially equivalent to the Desperate State.
This made Lu Ming frown slightly and he opened the system.
The words on the attribute panel caught his eyes.
Body Self-Limitation: You possess an almost perfect body! This superpower allows you to effortlessly mobilize every trace of energy in your body!
Awakening the Body Self-Limitation will grant you the following four different body forms!
First: Self-Limitation State.
Second: Normal state.
Third: Explosive State.
Fourth: Desperate State.
Fifth: Origin State: This form has already departed from the normal bodily form! In this form, your physical body will not change at all. Your physical qualities are only equivalent to the Desperate State!
However, in this form, your ability to control Source Power is greatly enhanced. Under this form, your control over Source Power approaches infinity, similar to the Source Realm! If you reach the Source Realm, this form will also significantly enhance your control over Source Power!”
“Please note that if you activate this form in the Source Realm, your body will endure tremendous pressure, and if you maintain this form for too long, you may face permanent attribute penalties.”
The new form was called the Origin State.
It would not increase Lu Ming’s physical attributes. It only strengthened Lu Ming’s control over Source Power.
Lu Ming squinted his eyes, starting to understand.
“In the first four states under Body Self-Limitation, the improvements are all in physical attributes.”
“However, this new Origin State doesn’t increase one’s physical attributes, but it enhances one’s control of Source Power.”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming nodded in understanding.
“Indeed, what Body Self-Limitation has given me is not just control over the body but also control over energy.”
This could be seen from the general description of Body Self-Limitation.
“After entering the fifth state, Body Self-Limitation has shifted from simply improving physical qualities to enhancing control over energy. 1 can’t assess the advantages and disadvantages of this change for now.”
“But it’s ultimately a good thing…”
With this in mind, Lu Ming had another question.
“So, how strong is ‘approaching infinity’ in Source Realm?”
Conveniently, there was a reasonably good test subject right in front of him.
He looked up at Li De, who was also gazing at Lu Ming.
Therefore, Li De sensed danger… and eagerness in Lu Ming’s eyes.
This made Li De take a deep breath and the Double Extreme Kill began to brew again!
Both sides had already gotten into a serious fight, and Li De could not stop now.
Moreover, even though he did not understand the changes happening to Lu Ming’s body, he had just crushed Lu Ming moments ago, there was no reason to turn and run now.
Whether he was strong or weak, they would only know after fighting!
“Boom!”
The light of the Double Extreme Kill erupted again and shot towards Lu Ming.
However, this time, Lu Ming did not move.
He just stared at the light of the Double Extreme Kill and the energy fluctuation on his body flashed.
One could see that before the Double Extreme Kill even reached Lu Ming, it rapidly melted as quickly as the first snow meeting the warm sun, and disappeared without a trace.
This scene made Li De exclaim in astonishment, “Source Realm power! How can it be Source Realm power!!”
Source Realm, the realm of Source Energy!
The characteristic of the Spirit Realm was spiritual pressure. The characteristic of the Source Realm was absolute control of Source Power!
In the Black Mist Zone, everything relied on Source Power as the foundation.
Source Power Skills, the physique of an expert, and even what seemed like innate superpowers, were all closely related to Source Power.
All of this was closely related to Source Power.
And the most significant feature of a Source Realm expert was absolute control over Source Power—In other words, when a Spirit Realm faced a Source Realm, it was like an ordinary person facing a Source Realm, essentially powerless!
Li De turned around and wanted to run.
However, he suddenly felt a tightness around his ankle.
Lowering his head, he saw Lu Ming’s arm extending and transforming into something like a rope, tightly wrapping around his ankle.
The Origin State still retained the physical transformation ability of the Desperate State.
The two collided.
A sudden realization struck Lu Ming.
“So, this is the Origin State…”
“This is the Source Realm.”
He vaguely sensed the essence of Source Realm Power.
At the same time, he discovered the true horror of the Origin State!
“Hiss!!”
A sound, like air escaping, suddenly came from within Li De.
Countless streams of Source Power shot out from every pore on Li De’s body!
The dazzling and colorful light made Li De’s entire body appear radiant, but hidden beneath this splendor was true terror and despair!
The path of every superhuman was essentially the same—that was to fuse their cells with their source power and step onto the path of superhumans.
This had been the case since the first level of the Mortal Realm.
As for the Source Realm, one could perfectly control Source Power—this range of control included, but was not limited to, the Source Power in the opponent’s body!
What would happen if the Source Power in his body was drained?
The answer was crystal clear.
Li De let out a desperate roar.
However, in the blink of an eye, his body had already shriveled.
The massive loss of Source Power caused Li De’s strength to rapidly decline!
From Spirit Realm Level 8 to Level 7, then to Level 6, Level 5…
In just a second, Li De had already fallen out of the Spirit Realm to the Physique Realm!
Killing a Spirit Realm with Source Realm power was like slaughtering a chicken!
Even Lu Ming, who was infinitely close to the Source Realm, was just a “Source Realm.”
It was also when Li De regressed to level nine of the Physique Realm that Lu Ming changed his approach once again.
He manipulated a large amount of Source Power and forcefully poured it into Li De’s body.
The outcome of the violent infusion of Source Power had already been mentioned several times before.
A loud “bang” rang out.
Li De exploded on the spot, leaving nothing behind.
After all, he was not like Lu Ming, whose body had been modified by the system..
