Chương 33: Eating the Fruit of the Divine Tree

Richard retrieved the Divine Tree, plucked the Chakra Fruit, and ate the fruit in one bite.

Then, without any particular sensation, he simply felt a surge of immense energy within his body. This must be chakra.

Chakra is an energy with a strong exclusivity. His battle aura, which he had honed through countless trials, melted away and became fuel for strengthening his chakra. The magic power he painstakingly condensed from the elements merged with his chakra, becoming an even more powerful Sage Chakra.

He had considered this long before consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree. After all, one can't have it all; if one covets the combat power boost brought by the fruit of the Divine Tree, one must be prepared to lose something else.

I just didn't expect that magic could be fused with chakra to form a special sage chakra. Considering that magic is formed by absorbing elements of heaven and earth, it's not much different from natural energy, so it's not surprising.

This was an unexpected delight.

However, the chakra within him far exceeded his magic power, and it was on the verge of becoming unbalanced. Richard had no choice but to absorb a large amount of elemental power into his body to achieve an emergency balance. But this was unstable, and he needed to refine and fuse this elemental power into Sage Chakra as soon as possible.

For Richard now, using chakra is the same as using fighting spirit. Magic is even simpler; since becoming a god, he hardly needs the magic he learned before. He can directly invoke the laws of nature to achieve things even more wondrous than magic.

If all else fails, he can borrow the divine power of his divine clone, which is much more useful than battle qi and magic power.

Then his eyes turned blood red, and several black tomoe appeared in his pupils, directly becoming the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

A golden vertical pupil even appeared on its forehead.

A massive amount of chakra formed a chakra cloak around his body, with twelve Truth-Seeking Balls encircling him. Surprisingly, it looked quite cool.

As for the Rinnegan eye techniques, one is similar to the Kamui eye, and the other is a rare time-type technique that reverses time.

Within its golden vertical pupils lies a divine technique—the Light of Creation and Calamity.

The three eye techniques are all incredible supernatural powers.

The first type of spatial eye technique seems similar to Obito Uchiha's Kamui eye, but it can actually create a real, even growable, small world.

The second type of time reversal, the extent to which it can reverse time, depends solely on Richard's strength. In other words, if he were strong enough, he could even reverse an entire world for thousands of years. Of course, that's a fantasy of the future; right now, he could barely reverse his own time for even half an hour.

The third type of Creation Calamity Light can be used to create all things, enlighten all spirits, and also to decompose all things.

In addition, there are the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, such as repulsion, attraction, and the Heavenly Obstacle Star.

Fortunately, he did not undergo a genetic mutation and become an Otsutsuki alien after consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree. His skin did not turn white, and he did not grow horns on his forehead.

From then on, his physical body also possessed formidable combat power, finally no longer a weakness. Even without divine power, divine domain, or divine spark, his physical body was still stronger than the vast majority of lower-level gods, and he would even have to fight a mid-level god to determine who was stronger.

As for his ability to survive, it would be extremely difficult for most high-ranking gods to kill him, unless they possessed some kind of talent related to space and time, or the ability to break through space.

His path had actually become somewhat disconnected from that of the cultivators in the Panlong World. Although his combat power hadn't increased much, his ability to survive, relying on his spacetime abilities, far surpassed that of other experts of the same level.

Besides the boost to his strength, the Divine Tree Fruit also granted him seven chakra natures: wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, yin, and yang. In the Panlong world, this translates to him possessing fire, earth, and lightning elemental natures, all of which are top-tier talents.

In this way, he could gather the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire to create the world. The fusion of the four elements is also the key to transcendence in the Panlong world.

However, transcendence in the Panlong world is very demanding; one must have only four elemental divine avatars: earth, wind, water, and fire. No more and no less.

Secondly, one must undergo a soul transformation to become a fusion mutant of the four elements. Only in this way can the profound fusion of different elemental laws be achieved.

Third, one must possess the strength of a main god or higher, and the basic strength of the four elemental god avatars must be comparable and unbalanced. For example, if the earth element refines a lower-level main godhood, then the other three elements can only refine lower-level main godhoods as well, and absolutely cannot refine middle-level or upper-level main godhoods, otherwise they will not be able to transcend.

The conditions for transcendence are so stringent and unique that only one Linley has achieved transcendence in countless years across the four subsidiary universes. Richard is not prepared to gamble on the minuscule probability of becoming a four-elemental soul mutant. Becoming a soul mutant is already incredibly difficult, and the chance of surviving a four-elemental soul mutant is less than one in ten thousand. He truly dares not gamble on the possibility of achieving soul mutation and surviving.

He wasn't planning to get stuck with the Panlong cultivation system anyway. If a suitable and advanced cultivation system appeared in the chat group later, he could simply switch systems. He wasn't worried about not being able to transcend it, or being stuck with the Panlong world's cultivation system for trillions of years without being able to improve.

For example, his current body already incorporates the chakra system.

Richard was going to be busy for a while. He first contacted Feng Baobao, saying he wanted the Divine Craftsmanship Manual.

After learning that there was no such thing, he proposed to travel to the world of Under One Person. After much consideration, Xu Si persuaded Feng Baobao to agree to his request.

The secret to immortality held by Feng Baobao was simply too tempting; he worried that if it were revealed, he would face enemies from all over the world. At this point, the group members became his last resort, and he needed to cultivate good relationships with them.

After having a detailed conversation with Feng Baobao about the behavior of the group members, she felt that Richard was relatively law-abiding, and finally decided to agree.

Of course, he didn't know that Richard almost destroyed the ninja world in the parallel ninja world, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have dared to let Richard go.

Richard didn't stay long after he arrived; he simply obtained the Divine Hundred Refinements and returned to the Panlong World. It was quite swift; the round trip took less than a day.

Because after he arrived, he felt suppressed, and his strength was greatly reduced. He also had a feeling of being watched from the shadows, and not just by one person. It felt like being spied on by a group of people.

Indeed, worlds involving Eastern mythology are far from simple; they are incredibly complex.

Richard could only follow his heart and dared not do anything reckless. His original plan to collect the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and other inheritances was completely canceled. He only exchanged for the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements and then ran away.

The gods and immortals behind the scenes didn't say they didn't welcome him, but being constantly watched put immense pressure on him, so he decided to give up.

Open the chat group and vent your frustrations.

Richard: @Baoerjie, I'm never coming to your world again, there are so many big shots here.

Raymond Lam: What big shot? Isn't the fighting power of Under One Person not high? Even the strongest Zhang Zhiwei shouldn't be able to beat you with one hand, right?

Xia Mi: What's wrong?

Ye Zhen: Oh? There's an expert?

Richard: Just a backdrop, those ascended immortals and gods. The moment I entered, I felt like I was being watched by a lot of people. My strength was also suppressed to less than one-tenth of its original value.

Raymond Lam: Ouch, the water's so deep?

Richard: That's quite deep. @XiaMi, be careful. I think if you're weak, going there won't be a big deal; the stronger you are, the more attention you'll receive.

Xia Mi: Never mind then, I won't go.

Bao'er: Really? You mean it?

Richard: I'd be a dog if I lied to you.
