Talent Anchoring, Limit Break Spiral (SS)

Talent Manifestation complete

Limit Break Spiral (Transcendent Helix) (SS+) has now been fully anchored

Talent anchored. Reincarnator EX051, you have anchored an entirely new, previously unrecorded talent. Do you permit the space to record it?

Limit Break Spiral (Transcendent Helix) (SS+)

Lineage: Non-Primal Gene Lock, fantasy species, science/philosophy lineage

Description: A creation of miracles, a spiral beyond the ultimate. An "anomaly" that should never have been born beneath the entanglement of a continuously evolving genome, yet was ultimately born.

Effect (Initial Rotation): Upon activating Limit Break Spiral, the brain will forcibly remove all genetic limitations, accommodating all information, understanding, adapting to, and mastering it. Excessively high spirals and information will cause genetic entropy to increase, ultimately causing the flesh to collapse into a state of "Primordial Soup."

Before Bai Cangshu’s eyes, silvery-white streams of information refreshed like a waterfall, yet his gaze was completely unfocused on them.

The corners of his mouth pulled uncontrollably to either side. Every pore on his body opened as endless information entered him in every conceivable form.

That was power.

This was power!

The crying of a woman who had just awakened dozens of kilometers away; birds struck down from thunderclouds in the sky; cicadas hiding in trees, too afraid to chirp; small beasts scurrying beneath the earth; moisture in the air; restless ions; wildly surging spiritual energy…

Everything, everything, entered Bai Cangshu’s body in a supersensory form.

A faint spiritual glow lingered around him, scattering like specks of starlight from the tips of hair dancing amid his fierce, mad aura.

Bai Cangshu naturally stood on one leg, with only the tiniest bit of flesh at his toe touching the ground. His whole body seemed to have lost gravity, carrying an airy sense of drifting.

His long black hair danced. The red phantom of the Omen of the Evil God coiling around his body had dimmed considerably. No, it had not dimmed; Bai Cangshu had begun to understand the true way to use the Omen of the Evil God.

The red phantom clung to his body like a tamed shadow beast.

The dragon-transformed Sage lowered his head, his golden vertical pupils reflecting Mercenary Tao’s current posture.

"Mercenary Tao, you seem… different?"

For the first time, confusion appeared on his face. Mercenary Tao felt strange to him at this moment—empty and hollow. As a manipulator, he could no longer grasp the state of the other man’s Mind-Body.

Moreover, it was obvious that the other party had escaped the mental contamination caused by directly gazing upon his mythical form through some unknown means.

Even at high sequences, the enhancements from the Mystery series could not be considered especially destructive, but they were extremely useful in the middle and later stages. That was not only because these abilities came with a considerable number of bizarre rule-based effects, but also because once they reached Sequence 4, the demigod stage—

Reincarnators of this type could almost all activate incomplete mythical forms when fighting for their lives, causing those who battled them to suffer corrosion from directly witnessing Mythical Creatures with excessively high spirituality.

Against most opponents, this move was usually a trump card for turning defeat into victory.

But now, Mercenary Tao had clearly broken free from the effects of that mental contamination, because he… was staring straight at him.

Meeting Mercenary Tao’s flamboyant gaze, the Sage suddenly felt something absurd. A Reincarnator who was at most Strong-tier could stare directly at a Mythical Creature for so long without being affected. Was that… reasonable?!

"Do you find it absurd, Sage?"

The Sage heard Mercenary Tao speak. The brutality had vanished from his voice, and the Satsui no Hado that had nearly made heaven and earth change color earlier seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

He truly did find it absurd. Then, in the next instant, his heart jolted.

Bai Cangshu spiraled his right palm back. Golden Ripple, purplish-red Satsui no Hado, golden ki, and the black-red power of Conqueror’s Haki Infusion instantly began to collapse inward and retract.

"Hit!"

Bai Cangshu launched the Rakshasa Palm, driven by several terrifying energies, and softly uttered the word "hit."

The Sage’s scalp went numb. In the next moment, he felt the space around him twist. His reaction was incredibly fast; instead of trying to dodge, he directly tensed the scales covering his body.

Bang!

The palm struck solidly between the huge blue-gray dragon’s waist and abdomen.

Pfft!

Blazing White force burst through the dragon’s body, driving the air with it. It shattered every scale on the dragon’s back, shot hundreds of meters away, and crashed into the pitch-black void.

The Sage cried out in pain and opened his mouth to roar again.

Mind Stripping!

This ability, similar to Dragon Roar, could directly strip away the opponent’s mind and leave them unable to control themselves.

Yet at the very moment the roar erupted, Bai Cangshu also opened his mouth and roared.

Scarlet Conqueror’s Haki erupted at the same time, like a violent shockwave crashing overwhelmingly into the Sage. The Dragon Roar was suppressed as well. Their abilities collided, and dust flew in an instant.

The Sage was profoundly alarmed and flapped his wings as he flew into the sky.

His Dragon Transformation could last less than three minutes, and about a minute had already passed. Yet he was already beginning to panic.

"You’re copying my abilities?!"

Bai Cangshu’s eyelids drooped as he remained lightly poised on his toes.

"Copying?"

"I merely understood that ability."

Bai Cangshu was not wrong. Just as he had been able to completely understand and replicate technical movements he saw before entering the Infinite Dimensional Space, he was now doing the same thing in an even more exquisite manner.

The demonic power and contracts drifting behind the Sage dispersed into Bai Cangshu’s pores along with the wind and ripples of energy.

If the Sage possessed a more advanced Pupil Technique, he would have seen that behind Bai Cangshu now floated an enormous pitch-black wraith, as though hanging upside down.

Bai Cangshu raised his left wrist slightly, and Black Sword: Dragon Slayer fell into his left hand.

Bai Cangshu bent slightly, hunching over as he dragged the greatsword at an odd angle across the ground.

The blue-gray dragon flying in the air frantically beat its wings. As the Sage looked at Mercenary Tao on the ground, it was as if the dead Left Eye had come back to life. The other man’s stance was exactly the same as Left Eye’s unique quick-draw technique.

Not only could he imitate his abilities, but he could also imitate the abilities of the dead?

Could he use every ability he had ever seen?!

The Sage tried to analyze the information. In the next moment, the black sword trembled and vanished like a wisp of smoke.

A black line expanded in his vision.

Pfft!

Sage Yu Huaxin’s entire body shuddered. The icy chill of sword light passing through his body, the piercing pain brought by Conqueror’s Haki Infusion, and the despair of Satsui no Hado continuously annihilating his cells all struck at once.

As his eyes trembled, the world between them grew more and more distant.

I was cut apart?

What a fast sword. It really was that move…

Dragon Blood fell like a torrential downpour.

Bai Cangshu bathed in the Dragon Blood and turned to look in one direction. There, a figure was slipping into the void.

At the spot where the giant dragon fell, only the corpse of a man completely cleaved in half remained.

Bai Cangshu watched the Sage attempt to flee by slipping into the Collective Subconscious Ocean, amusement glinting in his eyes.

"Are you afraid…?"

Bzz!

A scarlet streak flashed, followed by a series of sonic booms. The terrifying roar at several times the speed of sound nearly tore the eardrums of the Sage, who had lost his Dragon Transformation.

He only felt a massive hand press down on his head. Before he could enter the Collective Subconscious Ocean, a violent force swept him up, pierced through layer after layer of clouds,

and sent him flying in a completely unknown direction.
