I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xu's Biology had a hundred floors, in which more than thirty were used for various reserves and experiments. Another thirty or so floors were just empty spaces bought with hefty funds. The permanent staff were around twelve thousand people.

Xue Jing made his way upward. Compared to his last visit, it seemed there were about half as many people...and almost the other half were either frantically running down to escape or helplessly waiting for their deaths.

He paid some attention to see if he could find Xu Mude, and if found, to kill him on the spot.

This time Xue Jing came with a justified reason. Xu Mude had intended a kill-and-steal on Miss Wu Da's men, and it was even over the goods Miss Wu Da specifically asked for... If Xu Mude were to be counterattacked and killed, the Xu family couldn't complain about anything, they could only hold it in.

However, he didn't hold much hope... With such a major incident happening, the leaders would definitely have been the first to leave.

Xu Mude must have already fled far, probably among the few hundred flying vehicles he had seen leaving Sky Center earlier.

Those left behind to die were mostly people without power and influence.

"Bang——!!"

As Xue Jing was rescuing people on the way to the 1093rd floor, he had just arrived when he heard a huge explosion.

A figure at a distance was retreating at a high speed, continuously smashing through more than a dozen walls and flying out of the Sky Center, falling toward the ground.

In a fleeting glance, Xue Jing caught a detailed look at the flying figure.

Despite being covered in blood and severely injured, missing arms and legs, he quickly recognized the person; it was one of a few that made him feel threatened during his stealth entry, a security staff member of Xu's Biology.

There probably weren't many of Xu's Biology's security forces left inside, as most had been taken by Xu Wenkui to ambush and besiege him.

Either killed by him or drained dry when Xu Wenkui abnormal rampaged.

Xue Jing's gaze followed the path of the man's flight.

In vibrations as intense as an earthquake, three figures were battling in midair.

The one being attacked was naked, with facial features extremely similar to Xu Mude, identical to the two Divines he had encountered before, obviously another Divine.

Yu Ga Shenle also followed closely behind Xue Jing, and looking in the direction of Xue Jing's gaze, her expression instantly sharpened.

"Brother, that Divine is problematic... completely different from the two we encountered before."

She possessed superpower-level intuition and sensed a terrifying danger emitting from the Divine in the air.

"Brother..." Xue Jing glanced at her, slightly speechless.

From initially 'Brother Jing' to 'Brother Jing' and now directly 'Brother,' the level of intimacy in her address had skipped three levels in a short time; this casual way of overstepping reminded him of his own little disciple.

"What should we do, nii-nii?"

With a slightly anxious tone, Yu Ga Shenle spoke. Since her whole body was wrapped in Shadowflame Wrap Armor, her expression was not visible, but one could vaguely see a smirk from her visible eyes.

Xue Jing: "..."

That was four levels skipped.

"Alright, leave it to me, stop talking for now."

Xue Jing waved a hand at her.

He was genuinely afraid that next she would start calling him 'husband.'

At this time, the Divine in the air, with an innocent expression, swung both arms left and right, like two paddles, rippling the air and producing a humming sound.

The very next moment, the shaking of the entire floor intensified, the ground and walls cracked and shattered, and the two figures battling him in the air were hit by something, immediately spewing a great amount of blood and flying out like cannonballs.

"Oh? A special individual?"

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

This move was clearly not any physical attack but seemed more like some superpower.

It must be one of those special individuals among the Divines with strange abilities that Xu Wenkui had mentioned.

"It must be the main culprit causing the tremors in Sky Center, seeming like some ability to transfer kinetic energy out of thin air, difficult to guard against..."

After a brief pondering, Xue Jing had an idea and felt confident in handling this entity.

He turned his head toward Yu Ga Shenle and said:

"You better find a place to hide; I won't be able to cover for your identity any longer."

Shadow Flame would dissipate if it strayed too far from Xue Jing's main body, and he couldn't ensure that he could maintain the Shadowflame Wrap Armor on Yu Ga Shenle's body continuously.

Yu Ga Shenle, hearing this, spoke in a gentle tone:

"Don't worry, Xue Jun, don't mind me, just do what you want to do."

Xue Jing nodded, then with a wave of his hand, caused the Shadowflame Wrap Armor on Yu Ga Shenle to scatter, revealing her charming and enchanting true face.

"I wish you great success in battle."

Yu Ga Shenle held her hands to her chest, speaking softly.

Xue Jing didn't respond, instead turning his head to look at the Divine being in the sky, who was once again extending his hands, rippling the air.

"First of all... I must not allow it to continue damaging the Sky Center. Time to change the battlefield."

With one step, Xue Jing vanished from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared close to the Divine being, swung his right fist out, attempting to punch it out of the Sky Center.

However, even though he was incredibly fast, his punch unexpectedly failed to connect.

The Divine being swung its arm, rippling the air, and Xue Jing's right fist stopped thirty centimeters from the Divine being, as if blocked by some invisible force.
Experience new tales on empire

With a buzz, he felt an immense, terrifying force descend upon him, striking evenly across every inch of his body.

"Boom—!!"

His entire body was immediately sent flying backward uncontrollably, crashing through all the walls in his path. The Shadowflame Wrap Armor was torn apart, his skin cracked open, leaking blood, muscles, and internal organs, and his bones all sustained not-so-light injuries in an instant.

It had been a long time since his lips leaked such crystal-clear thick blood.

"...Interesting."

Xue Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his right hand and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn't been injured in real combat for a long time.

The extremely potent Life Fire ignited, and the severe injuries all over his body healed rapidly within seconds.

"This ability is similar to Divine Conquest, hard to get close... The same would probably happen with Feathered Objects, even the quality of the Forgotten Greatsword would be directly disrupted by it."

"In that case..."

The Divine being in the sky tilted its head, wearing an innocent expression, like a child who had found an interesting toy. It swung its arm toward Xue Jing.

As ripples appeared and a buzzing sound filled the air, Xue Jing instantly pulled away, trailing a rainbow tail flame, and began shifting left and right in the air.

Where he passed, the air was pushed aside to create a vacuum, stirring up violent, typhoon-like currents chasing behind him.

After circling for a while, Xue Jing suddenly activated Twin Speed, doubling his speed instantly, and approached the Divine being.

This time he was much faster than before, but the Divine being still reacted, its ability required no delay. Xue Jing couldn't get close; once he did, all the Divine being needed to do was to unfurl its ability around itself, naturally waiting for Xue Jing to walk into its trap.

The arms swung past, creating ripples around it for several meters.

But this time, Xue Jing didn't charge directly towards the Divine being. Instead, he slightly tilted to one side, passing by six meters away from it.

Just as he passed by, Xue Jing's thought moved an invisible giant jaw opened in the void, swallowing the Divine being into nothingness.

The Nonexistent Beast had no form or size, and in fact did not exist as an actual beast.

It could only maneuver invisible forces around Xue Jing's own body.

Thus, after swallowing the Divine being into nothingness, Xue Jing, moving at high speed, pulled the Nonexistent Beast along, including the Divine being swallowed within, and instantly left the Sky Center.

In barely a second, the Divine being broke free from the nothingness, but by then, Xue Jing had already transported it hundreds of meters away from the Sky Center in the air.

The Divine being was puzzled by the sudden change in its surroundings just as it was swallowed by the nothingness again.

In this manner, Xue Jing gradually pulled the Divine being dozens of miles away from the Sky Center.

(I don't know why, but writing this scene feels unusually awkward and difficult... I'll try to speed up the transition.)
