Chapter 544: A-Grade
As his inner world and his flesh body tried to coexist, Jack felt himself strained. For a moment, he thought he’d die. Understanding arrived then.
He had an idea. In an instant, amidst the warring realities of his body and inner world, he knew what to do. And, to achieve it, he needed tremendous amounts of energy.
The inner world and his body were fiercely attacking each other—both of which were tempered to the extreme. Their cataclysmic clashes were suppressed by Jack’s Dao, but he let that go for a moment. Intense ripples spread outside his body, like he’d swallowed a blacksmith hammering an anvil. They crashed into the walls, shaking the entire pyramid. The various treasures lining the shelves of this room were also sucked into the ripples. They burst apart, unable to endure the impacts. There were dozens of them, many being Overlords cores or items on the same level. All their power erupted at once, filling the chamber with a completely terrifying amount of energy. Jack was suffocating. This was more than enough for multiple people to break into the A-Grade, and the pyramid’s enchantments kept it from dispersing.
He realized Brock had closed the door. Good bro.
Jack felt his body cracking under the pressure and quickly got to work. His Daos burst into action, sucking in the energy like vacuums, forming several colored whirlpools around Jack. The massive amount of energy came under his control, if temporarily. He immediately put it to use.
His body and inner world, which were fiercely clashing, were forced to fuse. Energy was funneled into them, ironing out their differences. Jack’s Daos worked at full force. The fusing proceeded, all problems solved by his Daos or hammered down by his fist, the two realities slowly becoming one.
His organs turned into planets. His stomach, lungs, spleen, those and all else were now covered in tiny continents. His flesh dissolved into energy, turning into the starry vacuum of space, with its properties dictated by the Dao of Life to operate the same way flesh did. The purple fist sun took the place of his heart, and his bones absorbed its radiance before exuding it, turning into mini suns themselves. His blood turned into rivers of stars which brightened the cosmos. Only his skin remained the same, turning dark and starry from the inside to resemble the endless horizon of space.
Jack opened his eyes to find he was no longer human. He had transcended. His new reality was hard to come to grip with, but he knew it would happen. For now, he remained in breakthrough. The tons of energy he’d unleashed before had been partly consumed to fuel the fusion of a small universe into his body, but parts of it still remained, and Jack intended to use them to make his breakthrough as perfect as possible.
The portals to the Black Hole World and Green Dragon Realm had been pulled into his body alongside his inner world. They now hovered aimlessly, sticking out like sore thumbs. Jack knew they could be better.
