Chapter 283: The Use and Importance of Divine Factors, Super Strong Control of the Nonexistent Beast (4K)
Through the gaping holes in the walls pierced by Flame Thunder, Yu Ga Shenle also caught sight of the divine being that was left with only its lower half, and raised an eyebrow:
"It's over with just one hit?"
On the way here, Xue Jing had already clearly explained that the naked lunatic they encountered is an artificially-crafted divine biological weapon—a "Divine."
As one of the elite few at the top of this planet's pyramid, Yu Ga Shenle knew a multitude of secrets, and had a certain understanding of the "Divine" which originated from the far shores of the ocean, even though she had never seen one before.
Divines were created based on the template of "Divine Son Adam," whereas Adam was... cultured from cells extracted from that thing, like a clone.
This is also the only achievement humanity has acquired from "that thing" so far... and for reasons still unknown, there has only ever been one successful clone of "Adam," with no second one coming to existence since then.
This is why one of the five major laws of Divine Relics states that "Divine Relics are unique and cannot be duplicated."
It seems as if there is some will or rule in the darkness, restricting humans from further desecrating that which is divine.
And a Divine is a product manufactured from the flesh and blood of "Adam," a second dilution of "that thing."
It's like dropping a thick concentrate into a glass of water, then taking a drop from this glass and mixing it into another glass of water.
As a result, the noble element contained within "that thing," which is beyond comprehension and utility, is diluted down into the "Divine Factor," which has many wonderful applications.
With technologies like Longevity Surgery, Ultimate Breakthrough, and Holy Transplants—every cutting-edge product and technique is an outcome of the exploitation of the Divine Factor.
That's why, although Divine Son Adam is listed only as 023 in the hierarchy of Divine Relics, its actual importance to humanity is great enough to be ranked in the top ten.
This is also why the New Beiyang Council remains at the top of the global national power ranking... They have the custody rights of Divine Son Adam.
Though the council, due to threats from various countries, can't completely monopolize the Divine Factor and must distribute a portion to each country annually, they still possess the largest share of the Divine Factor for themselves.
And thus, as a direct carrier of such an important Divine Factor, a Divine is an exceptionally unique existence.
Yu Ga Shenle had just experienced this firsthand—if it weren't for Xue Jing's timely intervention, she would have been a goner.
But this entity, in the presence of Xue Jun, was nothing more than an existence that could be extinguished with a single blow...
"No."
Xue Jing opened his panel and took a look, but there was no notification.
"It didn't kill it... why do I always come across these cockroach-like things."
He was slightly helpless and waved his hand, causing a massive amount of dark energy from the shadows to transform into swathes of Dark Flame, torching the Divine's remaining lower half.
If the panel didn't signal a kill, it meant it wasn't dead. Although he was uncertain what kind of life-preserving abilities this enemy had this time, using the Annihilation effect of the Shadow Flame to completely obliterate any trace of its existence was always the right move.
And just as the surging Dark Flames were about to engulf the Divine's lower half,
It suddenly stood up, flapping its two legs like a roadrunner and charged at Xue Jing with unbelievable speed.
"Hmm?"
Xue Jing tilted his head.
The surging Black Flame couldn't keep up with it, and soon it was close to Xue Jing, leaping forward and aiming a kick at him.
"Where did you get the misconception..."
Xue Jing reached out with a hand, accurately grasping the incoming right foot.
"You dare to fight me at close range?"
His Power activated, Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron.
With a move likened to flinging noodles, he unleashed the strongest explosively powerful combination attack of the Hidden Dragon School, smashing the Divine's remaining lower half onto the floor.
"Bang!!"
There was a loud explosion, and the entire floor shook several times. The lower half of the Divine, like a plastic bag filled with golden blood, burst open upon impact, with blood and flesh splattering across dozens of meters.
The surging Black Flames enveloped all the fragments and droplets without sparing a single trace, erasing everything into nothingness.
"Wow..." Yu Ga Shenle couldn't help but raise her hands slightly, assuming half of a French military salute.
She truly had to thank Xue Jun for his mercy of not killing her in the ring...
[Killed a being with divine traits, Divinity +512]
Upon seeing the notification pop up on the panel confirming the death of the Divine, Xue Jing didn't speak. After a quick scan to ensure there was no one else on the floor, he immediately continued breaking through the ceiling, moving to a higher level.
...
As time passed, Xue Jing, rescuing and killing all the way, quickly arrived at the floor belonging to Xu's Biology.
Although he had only officially visited this place for a quick tour once, in reality, he had secretly come here three or four times and had meticulously searched every floor.
Therefore, he was extremely familiar with Xu's Biology... Even the employees who had been here for decades would likely find it hard to compare with him.
Yu Ga Shenle, following behind Xue Jing, felt inexplicably that ever since he had reached the 1002nd floor, he appeared to be like someone returning home, knowing exactly what to expect on this floor, rapidly completing his inspection and immediately heading upwards, almost doubling his speed compared to the previous floors.
Her expression was somewhat strange, but she didn't say anything and just quietly followed behind Xue Jing.
"Not too many Xu's Biology employees have evacuated, it seems the situation escalated suddenly and is quite urgent," said Xue Jing as he scanned each floor for lingering life signs through Meditative Visualization, making an estimate.
