The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 14: Supreme Spirituality, the Mystery of the Burning Technique

At the moment when Lu Chen broke through,
An extremely huge column of light shot up into the sky, and it was clearly visible within a hundred miles of Jiuyou Palace. Everyone present could feel that there was a heart-pounding sense of oppression emanating from that column of light.

That feeling of oppression was not unfamiliar to them, because they had sensed it from those powerful people who had entered the supreme realm.

Therefore, the owner of this beam of light has obviously successfully advanced to the supreme realm.

At this time, in Daluotian, the central area.

On a towering mountain, two old men who were playing chess at the top of the mountain seemed to have sensed something. They both looked up and looked in the direction of the light column with surprised eyes.

"Little Jiuyou has grown up. He's only been back for two years, and he's already cultivated a Supreme Being. It seems like he's had quite a few good opportunities out there!"

A skinny old man put down the chess piece in his hand and said with a look of relief.

"To my Daluo Heaven Realm, what does a Supreme mean to me? If one's own strength is not enough, he still has to rely on others for survival."

Another old man with black pupils and white hair snorted coldly, his tone mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Facing the dissatisfaction of the black-eyed old man, the skinny old man smiled but did not say much. He knew that his favoritism towards the Jiuyou Palace over the years had made the Spirit Eye Emperor dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, as Tianjiu was one of the Three Emperors of Daluo Realm, why should he have to consider other people's feelings when doing things?

……

Outside the Jiuyou Palace,

In the training ground.

Three beautiful figures stared blankly at the beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth, each with a different expression on their face.

Tang Rou covered her mouth, staring at the beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth. She said with a look of surprise, "Sister Jiuyou, he really did break through!"

"Yeah, I saw it too."

Jiuyou smiled slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

She hadn't expected that this young man would actually do what he said. In just two short years, he had broken through to the Supreme Realm. This was truly a big surprise for her...

"This guy is really a pervert."

Tang Bing looked at the beam of light in the distance with a complicated expression. There was a mixture of admiration and unwillingness on her face.

When she first met Lu Chen, the latter was only in the early stage of Rongtian Realm. However, in just two years, the young man had surpassed her by far and took the lead to truly step into the Supreme Realm.

Such an achievement is extremely rare in the entire world.

"Sister Jiuyou, do you think a genius like him would stay in our Jiuyou Palace?"

As the beam of light dissipated and the invisible pressure dissipated, Tang Rou seemed to have thought of something. Her face wrinkled and she spoke with some embarrassment.

Jiuyou smiled calmly, remembering the young man's promise to him, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is not an ungrateful person. Xiao Rou'er, you must not underestimate him..."

……

Soon after,

In the Jiuyou Palace,

Lu Chen exhaled comfortably and clenched his palms lightly. He could feel the terrifying spiritual power surging in his body like a volcano. The strength of that spiritual power was simply not comparable to that of the so-called Half-Step Supreme.

“It’s a fascinating power.”

Lu Chen was immersed in it. After a while, he came to his senses and walked out of the side hall. He saw Jiuyou was already waiting for him in the main hall.

"Lu Chen, congratulations, you have now entered the level of a strong man in the world." Jiuyou said with a smile when he saw Lu Chen coming out.

Lu Chen also smiled and sat down opposite Jiu You. He looked at the cold and beautiful face of the woman in front of him and said, "Sister Jiu You, you are too kind. Without you, there would be no me today. It's all luck."

"Your behavior is definitely not a fluke. If others knew what you said, I wonder how jealous they would be."

Jiuyou said with a smile, his tone full of ridicule.

It can be seen that she is in a very good mood.

"However, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to."

Then, Jiuyou seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Lu Chen, her pretty face becoming much more serious. She said, "Although you have successfully opened up the Supreme Sea, you are still not a true First-Rank Supreme."

"Is it because I haven't cultivated the Supreme Dharma Body yet?" Lu Chen frowned and said.

He also knew the two major signs of a supreme powerhouse, which were nothing more than the Supreme Sea and the Supreme Dharmakaya. If there was anything missing between him and a true supreme powerhouse, it was only the Supreme Dharmakaya.

"This is just one of them."

Jiuyou nodded slightly, and then continued: "The reason why the Supreme Realm is a watershed in the path of cultivation, in addition to the Supreme Sea and the Supreme Dharmakaya, there is another most important reason, that is the spiritual power of the Supreme Power. It possesses spirituality, which is a power that far exceeds ordinary spiritual power in quality."

"Spirituality?"

Lu Chen thought of the supreme spiritual liquid that was like a swimming fish, and suddenly he understood.

"Many supreme beings have unique spiritual powers. Some have strong spiritual powers, while others have cold spiritual powers. This is because their spiritual powers possess spirituality."

"And it is precisely because of this spirituality that the spiritual power of the powerful in the Supreme Realm is difficult to erase. Sometimes, a single spiritual power can last for hundreds or even thousands of years, leaving behind a legacy for themselves."

Jiuyou explained patiently.

"I see. Sister Jiuyou, are you saying that my spiritual power lacks this kind of spirituality?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly. This was indeed something he didn't know. It was also one of the disadvantages of growing up in a short period of time, the lack of vision and experience.

"You don't have to worry too much. This so-called spirituality is actually very simple. As long as you integrate some other powerful spiritual objects into your own spiritual power, you can transform your own spiritual power and give birth to true spirituality."

Jiuyou smiled slightly and comforted softly.

"Fusing with other spiritual objects, is that right?"

Lu Chen thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, and a crystal-like purple spiritual power swept out, finally gathering on the palm of his hand. Faintly, it seemed to turn into a wisp of purple flame, emitting a terrifying temperature.

Jiuyou was stunned when he saw this and asked in surprise, "You have already integrated the Undying Fire into your spiritual power?"

"I don't know. After practicing the Burning Technique, this thing automatically merged into me."

Lu Chen shrugged and said indifferently.

"I've heard that the spiritual power cultivated from each ancient divine technique has its own unique characteristics. Could this be the unique feature of your technique?"

"Not only can it evolve, but after swallowing the spiritual fire, the spiritual power will automatically merge with the spiritual nature of this spiritual fire? This is very convenient..."

"If the technique can evolve infinitely, then the spiritual power has infinite potential. The more spiritual fire you absorb in the future, the more terrifying the spirituality contained in the spiritual power will be. If you accidentally get even a little bit of it when fighting against your enemy, it will be difficult to erase it."

Jiuyou said thoughtfully.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "That should be the case. That means that now, I am only one step away from becoming a true supreme being, the Supreme Dharmakaya, right?"
