Super Heart, Activated!

Before leaving, a faint green light flashed across Yu Xian's eyes. He took one last deep look at the colossal dark figure, burning the appraised attributes firmly into his memory. —————— Name: Gansa Codename: King of Lingering Desires Race: Namo Gender: Male Age: 964,292,418 Lifespan: 0 Rank: Upper Dragon Faction: King of the Namo Race Abilities: [Spiritual Body: Immune to all physical attacks; immune to the vast majority of energy attacks.] [Mental Erosion: Uses powerful mental energy to forcibly erode the target's mind, compelling complete obedience.] [Biological Modification: Infiltrates every cell of the target via mental energy to edit the target's genes, causing the target's body to mutate.] [Spiritual Tsunami: Gathers personal mental energy into a raging tsunami to engulf the opponent, forcibly destroying their mind and reducing them to a vegetative state.] [Spiritual Grazing: Condenses numerous fine threads of mental energy to remotely manipulate targets subjected to Mental Erosion. The stronger the user's mental energy, the greater the number of puppets that can be controlled.] [King's Might: Exercises the authority of the King of the Namo Race to forcibly assimilate other members of the Namo race, drastically amplifying personal mental energy and unleashing power that transcends one's rank.] [Summary: The King of the Namo Race, sealed by the Torrent Society using the Sacred Martyrdom Life-Offering Soul-Locking Array.] —————— More than five hundred years ago, the strongest among humanity were merely Tiger rank. In fact, the concepts of Tiger rank and Dragon rank did not even exist back then. When the Torrent Society faced an invasion by the Namo race and confronted the Dragon-rank Gansa, one could only imagine how desperate the situation was. At that time, Hong Zheng and his wife were only Lower Tiger. Among the remaining members, the elite backbone were only Wolf rank, while most members were not even Eagle rank—most were below Snake rank. On top of that, the Namo were entirely spiritual bodies; without specific skills, it was impossible to inflict any damage on them. It had been a battle with zero chance of victory, its outcome obvious at a glance. Yet heroes were heroes precisely because they could do what others could not, always decisive in the face of despair, making the most heroic, fearless choices. Birds of a feather flock together; the members of the Torrent Society were all people of profound, boundless love. When Hong Zheng and his wife made their decision, the others trusted them unconditionally without hesitation. Only in this way did they have a chance to seal Gansa here, buying precious time for humanity. Now, it was his turn. Since he knew remnants of the Namo race had escaped, he would clean up the mess and give the Namo no second chance. Yu Xian turned around, instantaneously appearing inside a bubble on the Martian surface. He steered the bubble to ascend swiftly into the sky. Once it pierced the cloud layer, sunlight washed over him. Countless water-filled bubbles quickly formed convex lenses, focusing all the sunlight through them directly onto his body. His skin rapidly turned pitch-black, maximizing his light absorption efficiency. The new talent that would have taken another two days to awaken was now accumulating energy at three times the normal speed under his deliberate intervention. The process was far from pleasant—much like someone who was already stuffed forcing themselves to gorge madly. Yet Yu Xian gritted his teeth, not even entertaining the thought of giving up. Meanwhile, everyone watching their phones couldn't understand what Yu Xian was doing. A flurry of chatter broke out among the group until Codename Science Popularizer returned. Codename Science Popularizer: "Found it. The array used by the Torrent Society is the Sacred Martyrdom Life-Offering Soul-Locking Array. This is a formation that can only be activated through voluntary sacrifice. If even a single person hesitates, if a single person wavers, the array fails entirely. "However, this array is currently the strongest sealing formation known. As long as there are enough people, even a group of ordinary humans could use it to seal a Dragon-rank powerhouse. "Precisely because this array is excessively cruel and easily exploited by those with ulterior motives, it is strictly forbidden to publicize. Inside Qilin, those who encounter it may be briefed, but anyone else is bound to confidentiality. "It's worth noting that the cruelest part of this array is its core: it requires a couple who genuinely, truly love each other. Moreover, as long as the array is maintained, they linger between life and death, perpetually experiencing the agony felt by every sacrificed person prior to their death. In other words, President Hong and his wife are still enduring the dying agonies of every single member to this very second—and this torment will continue until... the day the array comes to an end." The palm bubble Yu Xian was using to hold his phone trembled. The eyeball bubble in front of the screen dilated wider and wider until, at last, it cracked and burst. High in the sky, his eyes snapped open, tears rolling slowly down his cheeks. The others might not fully comprehend what had transpired with the Torrent Society, but he understood—he knew it all! Over five hundred years. 193,582 days and nights of torment. Unimaginable, unfathomable—just thinking about it sent chills down one's spine. It was a true living hell. What was more, Hong Zheng had known, and Cui Xianzhen had known. Yet both had made the same choice without a shred of regret. "Namo race... every last one of you... deserves to die!" Yu Xian's eyes nearly tore at the corners from rage. His heart swirled with unprecedented turbulence—shock, awe, admiration, heartache, fury... Taking a deep breath, he fought to suppress the raging tempest within his chest. He gritted his teeth and conjured even more convex lens bubbles. Densely concentrated beams of light converged upon him. Blue veins soon bulged across his forehead as his body's light absorption reached its absolute limit. This was the first time he had ever pushed Light Eater to its limit. Muscles across his entire body swelled, his once-slender frame broadening into a massive, imposing physique with the back of a tiger and waist of a bear. An invisible force field gradually enveloped him. His pupils shifted from silver to crimson, his vampire fangs could no longer be retracted, and his hair stood completely on end, bristling like steel spikes. Vampires had always possessed a monstrous side. Just as werewolves had a human form and a werewolf form, vampires too had a human form and a vampire form. What people normally saw was the human form; only when fighting for their lives would vampires fully unleash their monstrous nature. For most vampires, however, that monstrous form resembled traditional folklore: their bodies grew more emaciated and gaunt, their claws lengthened, their speed surged, and their skin turned ghastly pale and horrifying compared to humans. Yu Xian, however, was an entirely different story. Once his musculature was fully unleashed, he was bulkier and sturdier than any werewolf, his height soaring to two meters. Because of his extremely high body temperature, white steam even billowed from his flesh. If not for the fangs, anyone seeing him for the first time would never have associated him with a vampire. Thump! At that moment, the Perfect Creature Heart gave a heavy throb. The energy was finally sufficient; the new talent could be activated. Yu Xian closed his eyes and directly triggered the ability 'Super Heart.' According to the calculations of the Super Brain, activating the Super Heart would in all likelihood bring about an all-around evolution. After all, every ounce of his power ultimately stemmed from his hearts. Sure enough, the moment Super Heart was activated, the Vampire Heart, the Heart of Pangu, the Perfect Creature Heart, and the Serpent Heart all began to throb in unison. Then, dense, tiny blood vessels sprouted from the four hearts, linking together into an inverted, tree-like network. As all four hearts beat simultaneously, Silver Blood and Final Origin Blood were fused together by a third type of super blood born within this arboraceous network. In an instant, every blood vessel, meridian, and nerve throughout his body seemed to shine with light, a brilliance that ultimately extended straight into his brain. Boom! The brain had never fought with such lavish resources; every single cell, every drop of brain fluid was saturated with bountiful energy. In this state, his stray thoughts actually dwindled to near nothingness. Yu Xian realized that without any instruction, he had naturally and effortlessly acquired a new ability.
