Chapter 546 Veteran Transcendent, A Storm is Coming

BOOM!

Inside the Cultivation Chamber, one person and one beast simultaneously mobilized their Spiritual Power, triggering a brief, invisible collision.

A fierce, muffled blast erupted, yet went completely unnoticed by the outside world. Because this clash occurred entirely on a mental plane, only Lu Chao and Ghost Element could sense it.

The surrounding air briefly stagnated from the interference. An invisible tempest swept outward in all directions, rattling the walls and shaking the glass like a violent gale tearing through the room.

“Woo?”

Ghost Element suddenly stood up and stared at Lu Chao, its ruby-like beastly eyes filled with astonishment. It seemed surprised that Lu Chao’s Spiritual Power was far stronger than it had anticipated.

“Heh.”

Lu Chao smiled faintly and withdrew his spiritual aura. Stepping forward, he rubbed the beast’s head.

“Not bad.”

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes; Lu Chao could clearly feel the enhancement brought by the breakthrough in his Observation Method.

What was a scorching sun?

It represented a fierce and explosive spirit, where every single thought and intention possessed a powerful deterrent effect.

In other words, even without the aid of sonic Martial Skills like the Thunder Sound Skill, he could unleash his own spiritual aura to create a powerful Spiritual Shock, intimidating the minds of others.

Furthermore, within a certain range, he could project the scorching sun from his Observation Method into the depths of his opponents’ hearts, suppressing their spiritual will and stripping away their desire to fight.

For instance, just a moment ago, he had borrowed the might of his Observation Method to outwardly release an imposing shockwave of spiritual consciousness, briefly clashing with Ghost Element in a single exchange.

Without a doubt, this was fully comparable to a High-Level Martial Skill specifically designed to target another’s spiritual will.

“Right now, my Spiritual Power alone isn’t much weaker than Ghost Element’s,” Lu Chao thought. “Especially in terms of Spiritual Power resistance—it has been enhanced once again, leaping straight to the peak limits of the Transcendence Level.”

Lu Chao nodded in satisfaction and clenched his fists.

He estimated that within the Transcendence Level, no one could influence him using spiritual methods anymore. Even a Non-human Level powerhouse would find it difficult to intimidate him.

Moreover…

Carefully sensing the metamorphosis brought about by the Fixed Star Observation Method, the deep crimson suns in Lu Chao’s eyes gradually faded away.

With his Spiritual Power skyrocketing by a large margin, his corresponding innate talents—such as his focused state and Flow State—would all receive even greater boosts. The range of his Life Sensing had also doubled once more.

Even better…

He shifted his gaze to his stat panel.

[Life Energy: 255 → 261!]

[Potential Progress: 54%]

“A veteran Transcendence Level.”

Lu Chao clenched his fists again, feeling an extraordinary abundance of physical strength coursing through his body.

This wasn’t solely the result of his Observation Method’s breakthrough. Recently, he had also crafted two more Super Energy Medicine Crystals, completely exhausting all the resources he had on hand.

His Life Energy had consecutively increased in three-point increments, and now, propelled by the breakthrough in his Observation Method, he had vaulted directly into the ranks of a veteran at the Transcendence Level.

Strength, speed, neural reflexes… every aspect had experienced an explosive enhancement, and his physique had undergone yet another metamorphosis.

Subconsciously, Lu Chao walked over to the corner and retrieved the Kaide alloy inner armor he had acquired previously from the storage cabinet.

Entirely silver in color, it exuded a heavy and sturdy aura, easily qualifying as the most durable alloy creation on the Earth Star.

Right now, however, as his right hand reached out and his five fingers pinched the inner armor, his entire body’s strength suddenly erupted.

BUZZ!

Five eye-catching fingerprint indentations appeared on the surface of the inner armor.

“Just as I thought.”

Lu Chao’s eyes lit up.

After breaking through to the veteran Transcendence Level, his physical toughness had reached an astonishing degree. Even without activating his innate talents, his body was already comparable to Kaide alloy.

If he utilized Titan’s Power and the Rock Core Barrier, he was absolutely confident that he could shatter the Earth Star’s toughest metals and shake a Non-human Level powerhouse.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he suddenly paused.

“Hmm?”

Lu Chao’s heart stirred as he abruptly sensed a trace of anomaly. A faint, almost imperceptible feeling of being spied upon transmitted from the high sky outside the window.

Beside him, Ghost Element also jerked its head up. Its ruby-like beastly eyes glanced toward the sky outside, having similarly detected a trace of invisible fluctuation.

Lu Chao immediately set down the alloy inner armor and walked over to the window.

A massive hovering aerocar, shaped much like a passenger airliner, approached from the distance. As it arrived in the airspace above the Fortress Base, its enormous shadow blocked out much of the sunlight, enveloping the Alliance Country soldiers who were looking up at it.

In that instant, Lu Chao’s eyes flashed, and he immediately expanded his Life Sensing.

His mind transformed into a three-dimensional radar. Invisible waves continuously scanned outward, enveloping and detecting one Life Magnetic Field after another.

Very quickly, he made a discovery.

“Three Transcendence Level experts?”

Lu Chao locked onto the three individuals with the strongest magnetic fields; they were the security consultants from the Giant Enterprise Alliance Army.

“No, wait.”

Lu Chao frowned suddenly, concentrating his Life Sensing even further.

A hint of astonishment flickered in his eyes as he astutely noticed a discrepancy in one of the auras.

Among those three Transcendence Level magnetic fields, one was actually infinitely close to the Non-human Level.

More importantly, that person’s core life essence was completely different from that of Earth Star People. It was as if they weren’t from the Earth Star at all, yet they were also distinct from the so-called Wild Beast Kings.

If he had to pinpoint what made it special, it was that it felt extremely similar to the Clare People he had encountered last time at the Fortress Mountain City—specifically, that man in silver combat armor, Helido.

“One of the Clare People?”

Lu Chao instantly formed a hypothesis.

According to Ji Lixian, a major reason why the Five Major Enterprises were participating in the war was because they wanted to intervene in the Starry Sky Trial of the Clare People.

Now that the vanguard forces of the alliance army had arrived at the Fortress Base, it wasn’t surprising for someone from the Clare People to be presiding among them.

“I just don’t know what relationship this person has with that Helido,” Lu Chao thought, retracting his senses and pondering for a few moments.

Ever since that battle at the Fortress Mountain City, Helido had never shown himself again, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

But it was obvious that the man couldn’t have just let go of the grudge brought upon him by Celestial Hunter.

Thinking up to this point, Lu Chao finally suppressed any extraneous speculations. Regardless of what relationship this newcomer had with Helido, it didn’t matter.
