Enhancement, Realm of Nothingness Unlocked! (48K Subscription Request)

Bai Cangshu bent his knees slightly, his hands seeming to gather and release. The Twin Sal Trees still shed leaves without end. Thick layers of dead leaves had long accumulated around him; as soon as they fell to the ground, they began to wither, while new leaves immediately sprouted from the branches, cycling endlessly.

In that instant, Bai Cangshu felt himself easily touch the boundary he had previously only vaguely sensed—the invisible shackle that had restrained him like a set of chains. He had truly touched it.

Beyond the Realm of Shisui, Bai Cangshu sensed a realm of freedom.

The freedom to control his body, energy, and aura as he pleased, using any movement he desired to produce any result he desired.

If Martial Arts Mastery Level 9 meant pushing control over the body and force to their limits, then Level 10 surpassed those limits, making everything within his body as obedient as his own limbs.

Whether it was surging, explosive qi, the cruel and terrifying Satsui no Hado, or the more superpower-like Magnetic Field Rotation.

The three energies naturally began moving in accordance with Bai Cangshu’s will.

At first, they were no more than the faint murmuring of a brook. Moments later, they became a roaring river. The three energies converged, and as Bai Cangshu slowly danced beneath the Twin Sal Trees, they completely stirred up the fallen leaves.

Amid the howling wind and roaring clouds, Bai Cangshu grew increasingly exhilarated. That sense of command over the rushing current flowed into his heart as he exhaled and shouted.

"Ha!"

Boom!

Golden qi, purplish-red Satsui no Hado, and blazing white lightning erupted at the same time.

Boom!

The Twin Sal Trees shattered alongside the invisible restraint within his body.

You used the item: Bodhi

Your Martial Arts Mastery level has increased by 1. Current level: Lv10!

You obtained the special mastery: My Style (No Level)—Realm of Doing As One Pleases

Bai Cangshu opened his eyes once more. It was as if the explosion had never happened. The Twin Sal Trees still swayed above him, and amid the sky full of pale purple leaves, an illusory figure slowly appeared.

Bodhi

Quality: World’s Rare Treasure

Description: A Bodhi fruit condensed from the Bodhi tree said to have grown where Bodhidharma passed away. It grants enlightenment into worldly principles and comprehension of techniques.

Effect 1: When kept on one’s person, the training speed of Martial Arts Specialization and abilities increases by 50%.

Effect 2: Consume Bodhi to receive the wisdom of past lives. Training ability and mastery level will forcibly increase by 1. There is a small chance of obtaining an additional trait, and an extremely small chance of obtaining the inherited martial art: Divine Palm of Tathagata Fragment (S).

The effects of Bodhi appeared before Bai Cangshu. This was…

Without even using his Second Authority, he had directly triggered the extremely small chance of obtaining an inherited martial art?

The illusory figure stood in empty space, without even the slightest energy aura of its own, and struck a palm toward Bai Cangshu.

That palm should have been utterly soundless and unremarkable, yet it instantly made Bai Cangshu’s hair stand on end. Heaven and earth seemed to turn solemn, as though everything had been torn apart.

The Three Parts Return to Origin Force around his body, which had grown so powerful that ordinary firearms could not break through it, shattered in an instant along with the Magnetic Field Rotation, Satsui no Hado, and qi within it.

Divine Palm of Tathagata: Four Great Emptiness!

Boom!

Bai Cangshu’s body jolted. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to his Private Space.

As his eyes opened, golden qi shot forth like a sharp sword, piercing straight through the sofa before exploding.

This method of attacking with qi was no different from the Dodon Ray, yet it no longer required any gathering motion. It could be unleashed at will, though its total amount of qi was not as immense as a fully charged Dodon Ray.

But it was far more effortless to use, with no warning whatsoever.

He then extended a hand. The properties of his qi and Magnetic Field Rotation instantly became similar. With his palm half-open, golden qi exploded with a thunderous crack, then its properties shifted and directly drew all kinds of objects in the room toward it.

Bai Cangshu then pushed out a palm. With a boom, golden qi erupted in an instant, reducing everything in the room to dust.

Protected by the space’s rules, Mu Yu and the other two were not attacked, but they were still startled by that terrifying palm strike.

Su Qingqiu frowned. Was this the power of Lv10 My Style Martial Arts?

How could it be so terrifying…

He had seen the few other reincarnators with Lv10 swordsmanship or combat mastery. While their attacks had been free and sharp, they had never reached this level. Was that some kind of ability, or…

Had Mercenary Tao also entered the Lv10+ realm and, like Sen Xia, become one of the pinnacles of the martial arts path?!

Bai Cangshu traded the Bloodline Item produced by Thanos, whose strength had fallen far short of the standard, to Mu Yu. He did not care whether she used it herself or traded it to the so-called Destined Death team.

Either way, it made little difference to him now.

The only thing of value Thanos’s vial of bloodline serum had for him was probably that it would grant a positioning similar to that of a Star Child after use.

After sending them away, Bai Cangshu had no mind to keep waiting. The news was still spreading rapidly, and he felt he would probably receive some valuable offers later.

But given that one of The Three Supreme Kings and one crowned sovereign had already completed trades with him, the chances of anyone else producing something more valuable in a short time were slim.

Bai Cangshu arranged for Jin Yue’an and Black Butler to continue managing the offers, while he returned directly to the Rank Management Office.

Knight Sister did not care about Bai Cangshu’s return. Instead, she immediately saw that his martial arts realm had surpassed what it once was.

"Congratulations. You’ve finally taken that step."

Bai Cangshu took out two materials and waved his hand. Using Bodhi to cross that boundary was actually normal for reincarnators, nothing particularly remarkable.

If there was anything remarkable about it, it was probably that he had "used his power to bully others" and forced The Heaven to trade him the second Bodhi of World’s Rare Treasure quality.

The smile on Bai Cangshu’s lips remained unchanged.

"It’s merely one of a reincarnator’s little conveniences. Miss Knight, please appraise these two materials for me. I’m ready to go even further~"

Knight Sister raised both hands, and golden radiance spilled down. The two materials instantly floated into the air.

First came the blood-and-flesh tissue that resembled a gigantic, strange cell nucleus. Under the golden radiance, it rapidly regained its vitality and began pulsing once more.

Rows of attributes appeared along with it.

Material: Core of the Monster-Harm God-Slaying Fist

Quality: World’s Rare Treasure

Description: Special cellular tissue left behind after a martial arts prodigy of a certain world merged with a monster. It contains unusual power.

Effect: After fusion, one of the following traits may be obtained.

A: Super Activity (Rare). Constitution +5, Spirit -2. The body gains adaptability and can develop additional resistance to abnormal environments.

B: Injustice (Rare). Attacks from Order Aspect enemies gain an additional 15% damage immunity. When attacking Order Aspect enemies, effects increase by 15%.

C: Intermediate Adaptation (Extremely Rare). Any attack endured by the body grants adaptation, producing a damage immunity mechanism against attacks of the same type.

D: Martial Arts Supreme (World’s Rare Treasure). All held martial arts and combat mastery levels +2. Training speed additionally increases by 45%.

Bai Cangshu paused when he saw the final trait. For close-combat and physical-technique reincarnators like him, this trait was undoubtedly extraordinarily effective. It was practically like permanently wearing an invisible Mercenary Tao’s Pink Robe.

Unfortunately, his Martial Arts Mastery had already reached Lv10. Ordinary additional level increases could no longer have any effect at this point and could not bring him into the Lv10+ realm.

Use authority, second chance.

This was the first time Bai Cangshu used the Level 3 Authority sent by the Destiny Organization. The next moment, Knight Sister saw the golden radiance being expelled from the material bit by bit. The material lost its vitality again, returning to its unappraised state.

Then, moments later, golden radiance flowed once more and was injected back into it. The entire process required no involvement from her.

The space completed everything by itself.

Bai Cangshu saw it clearly as well. He believed the space could probably completely control everything within it. Even if the power Knight Sister emitted was lost, it remained under the space’s control and could thus be called upon freely.

Material: Core of the Monster-Harm God-Slaying Fist

Quality: World’s Rare Treasure

Description: Special cellular tissue left behind after a martial arts prodigy of a certain world merged with a monster. It contains unusual power.

Effect: After fusion, one of the following traits may be obtained.

A: Monster Constitution (Extremely Rare). Constitution +7, Strength +4. Gain rapid regeneration. Flesh strength increases slightly.

B: Monster-Slaying Fist (World’s Rare Treasure). A special fist art that can absorb and fuse the essence of other enemies’ attacks, gradually enhancing the fist art’s effects. Base quality: B.

C: Hero Killer (Extremely Rare). When attacking targets of the justice faction, there is a 35% chance of producing an additional immunity-piercing effect.

"I choose B."

For Bai Cangshu, the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist probably would not be a particularly powerful addition in the short term. However, he was deeply curious about Garou’s abnormal ability to learn and absorb, and unlike Garou, he could come into contact with more systems of power.

In theory, the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist he eventually developed would possess potential beyond Garou’s version.

That ability was precisely why Bai Cangshu had chosen this material.

Knight Sister understood as well. With a single squeeze of her hand, the enormous cell nucleus melted in an instant and dripped into Bai Cangshu’s body.

In that instant, Bai Cangshu felt as though his entire body had been electrified. His already slender frame seemed to grow even taller.

Bai Cangshu felt his muscles being combed through one by one. Garou’s unusual talent was not merely his comprehension—the ability to learn fist arts that others could not master after just one glance, or to see through the techniques of powerful heroes and monsters after only a few exchanges.

More importantly, his body possessed exceptionally strong adaptability. Or rather, his vessel itself surpassed that of ordinary people and contained the possibility of evolution.

Bai Cangshu’s physique was already extraordinarily powerful, yet he could still feel this "upward" correction.

This material could only grant physical aptitude and could not grant Garou’s comprehension, but Bai Cangshu did not care about that.

Because he already possessed a trait similar to Garou’s. He likewise had the gift of mastering most martial arts techniques after seeing them only once!

It came from the unknown essence within him that seemed to be chaos itself. He felt that even without the bloodline trait of Myriad Manifestation Species, he could still learn all kinds of abilities.

Rather, it was precisely because of this essence that he could possess the bloodline trait of Myriad Manifestation Species.

At this moment, he turned his gaze toward the material on the other side.

Material: Thousand-Faced Visage of Nyarlathotep

Quality: World’s Rare Treasure

Description: A strange visage projected by an indescribable entity from a certain world.

Effect: After fusion, one of the following traits may be obtained.

A: Cannot Be Directly Viewed (World’s Rare Treasure). Possess an indescribable essence. Targets who look directly at you must undergo a random check based on their Spirit attribute. Failure will cause them to fall into madness, illusions, or unconsciousness.

B: Indescribable (World’s Rare Treasure). Possess an indescribable essence. Your existence becomes concealed. Information about you and your existence cannot be learned through Fate Aspect abilities below authority level, and accurate information about you cannot be obtained through Fate Aspect abilities below conceptual level.

C: Thousand-Faced Visage (Extremely Rare). Your flesh gains powerful malleability. You can completely disguise your appearance, aura, and traits as another being. During checks, checks may be conducted according to the other party’s identity. This ability has medium priority.

Two crimson radiances wound around the mass of constantly twisting, changing mucus. Of the three traits appraised from the so-called Thousand-Faced Visage, two were red and one was purple—a massive haul.

Yet the trait of disguising avatars, which An Zhiyuan had emphasized so strongly, was actually the least valuable of the three.

Bai Cangshu guessed that compared to that Golden Plot Equipment, the information contained within this material was insufficient to support three traits at the strength of World’s Rare Treasure.

Besides… compared to creating countless avatars and imitating others’ abilities, Bai Cangshu preferred crushing his enemies with utterly explosive methods.

"I choose B."

Bai Cangshu had seen Mad King’s memories and had many guesses about that secretive King of Destiny. Because of the inexplicable Strong Luck he had possessed all along, he had always felt that everything he encountered was being specially arranged by fate.

Just as he was becoming increasingly aware of how troublesome Fate Aspect reincarnators were, this material, which clearly bore the name Thousand-Faced Visage, had its red traits prioritize the other two attributes instead.

Knight Sister gave a gentle push, and the ever-changing mass entered Bai Cangshu’s body.

With that, the two fusion opportunities he had retained were replenished, and the second ring on Bai Cangshu’s arm began to appear clearly.

Bai Cangshu felt a cold liquid rush straight into his chest before vanishing without a trace. Unlike the material from the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist, this Thousand-Faced Visage material entered his body as naturally as a fish returning to water.

He increasingly believed that he might have deep ties to so-called chaos.

After leaving the Rank Management Office, Bai Cangshu entered the Cultivation Institute directly, then crushed the scroll Steel Warrior had traded to him.

Before entering the New World, he would step into the Realm of Nothingness!

Bai Cangshu’s eyes widened. The volcano before him erupted in an instant, while the sea behind him churned violently. This was the result of Magnetic Field Rotation being driven into motion.

But he still felt it was insufficient and began spending Singularity Points and Dimensional Points.

Then, one figure after another appeared before him.

The first to appear was a red-haired man with an absurdly muscular build. Bare-chested, his body was so erect that it seemed twisted. Upon seeing Bai Cangshu, he put both hands into his pockets and walked straight toward him.

Bai Cangshu did not even look at him. Shen Wulong, with a small patch of beard, appeared after Yujiro Hanma.

Then came Garou in his younger state, his hands hanging naturally at his sides as he walked faster and faster.

Still not enough. The pressure was still not enough…

Without wanting to use anything above a B-rank Anomaly Point, Bai Cangshu could only exchange for more sparring partners. He needed to experience the incredible sensation he had just gained.

At that moment, Garou flashed forward from the ground, moving as fast as lightning. His punch passed through Bai Cangshu’s throat.

Garou and Bai Cangshu both froze. Bai Cangshu then smiled. In that instant just now, his body had moved on its own…

The Realm of Nothingness… was this the so-called Realm of Nothingness?

No, it was not enough. Far from enough!

Whine!

A Dodon Ray came from an extreme distance away. Unable to resist spending a B-rank Anomaly Point, a Martial Artist in a pink robe appeared in the distance.

Boom!

The ground shook violently. Amid the lingering aftermath of the volcanic eruption, Yujiro Hanma slammed a fierce punch into the ground, triggering an abrupt earthquake. He himself leaped fiercely into the air and smashed down toward Bai Cangshu.

Meanwhile, Shen Wulong had already swept past Bai Cangshu’s side, yet Bai Cangshu remained motionless.

Bang!

His right hand suddenly flicked twice. The first movement blocked Shen Wulong’s unexpected knifehand strike, while the second directly sent Shen Wulong flying.

Boom!

A fist tore through the air. Garou’s punch struck empty space again. In his eyes, Bai Cangshu had vanished as though he had used Teleportation.

"Ha, haha…"

Bai Cangshu began to sense the peculiar nature of the Realm of Nothingness. Was this ability the ultimate of martial arts?

Bai Cangshu’s thoughts flashed like lightning, yet his body continued moving independently, defeating the attacks of the martial artists one by one.

Other than Mercenary Tao’s Ki Blasts, his body ignored every attack completely.

This was not evasion reliant on speed, but a realm akin to total control. At the absolute limit where the opponent’s attack was about to touch his body, his body reacted on its own.

This feeling… Bai Cangshu inexplicably thought of an ultimate art from the Dragon Ball World—Ultra Instinct!
