Superwoman Fights a Monster
Cultivators at the Heart Refining Realm possess a wide variety of abilities, with each school having its own unique style. However, it would be difficult to reach a consensus on which school's abilities are the most difficult to kill.
Aside from the Mystic Faction whose abilities are difficult to predict, most Cultivators would likely choose the Martial Combat Faction. This faction possesses the most powerful internal energy, and although it doesn't have any specific abilities, it has a basic resistance to any ability. It can be said that it is neither countered by any faction nor countered by any faction.
But if you ask Martial Combat Faction Cultivators, they might choose the Illusion Faction, because these people who are proficient in illusion can almost all become invisible and create illusions, making it impossible to even catch their true forms, let alone kill them.
But if you ask the Illusion Faction, they might find the Elemental School more troublesome, because the Elemental School are all masters of wide-area destruction. Illusions are nowhere to be seen in front of them; even if someone is invisible, they will be blasted out of their true form by an elemental burst.
In conclusion, due to the mutual restraint between different types of abilities, the assessment that "the hardest to kill" is difficult to determine in the lower and middle levels of the Heart Refining Realm. However, if we consider top-tier experts, or even those at the Peak level, then the answer becomes more consistent.
Shapeshifting Faction!
The ability of the Shapeshifting Faction, at the low to mid-level, simply involves changing forms and altering the body structure to gain greater strength and different abilities. In terms of defense, it is basically linked to the changed form, and generally speaking, it is at most comparable to the Martial Combat Faction at the same level.
However, when the Shapeshifting Faction's abilities are cultivated to their peak, a completely new ability will be unlocked.
My Original Avatar!
If the lower and mid-level Shapeshifting Faction are like wearing an animal skin and changing forms, simply changing clothes, then the Original Avatar obtained at higher levels is equivalent to creating a real monster to replace oneself!
Compared to ordinary avatars, this kind of Original Avatar is not only more powerful, but also possesses an extremely strong ability.
Life Substitution!
It's important to understand that a normal Shapeshifting Technique involves changing one's appearance. The body organs of the original and the transformed appearance correspond to each other. If the transformed appearance is injured, the original appearance will also be affected. If the transformed appearance is killed, the original appearance will generally also die!
However, with the ability to Life Substitution, even if the Original Avatar is torn to pieces or blown to ashes, the main body will remain unharmed. This is equivalent to an extremely powerful ability that grants immunity to death once. Theoretically, one Original Avatar is equivalent to having an extra life, and if one has enough Original Avatar, it is equivalent to having an immortal body!
Of course, obtaining such a powerful Original Avatar Original Avatar is not easy. Don't forget that obtaining a stable ordinary avatar requires years of adaptation, and cultivating Original Avatar is several times more difficult than cultivating an ordinary avatar. Even high-level or even Peak Shapeshifting Faction often only have fewer than three Original Avatar.
Furthermore, once the Original Avatar is killed, it is permanently lost and cannot be recreated. To cultivate a replacement, one must start from scratch, consuming a significant amount of time and energy. During this period, one's own strength is also considerably weakened.
Clearly, the giant carnivorous dinosaur that Nikolai had just transformed into was an Original Avatar. A behemoth weighing hundreds of tons fell from the 20th floor, creating a huge crater in the ground, yet it could still crawl out alive. Its physical strength far exceeded the Limit of a living being. The fact that it survived being kicked in the head by Luo Jun further confirmed this.
However, even Original Avatar have varying strengths. The moment the dinosaur incarnation collapsed, Luo Jun sensed a terrifying aura emanating from it!
This guy is about to transform into an even more powerful form!
At the Peak of the Shapeshifting Faction, who knows what he could transform into? Even if Luo Jun himself wasn't afraid, there were so many onlookers around, and even the nearby hotel building was probably in danger!
Stop him!
Luo Jun accelerated and rushed forward, simultaneously activating the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind!
Interrupt his transformation!
"Ding! Event Difficulty: 73 points; Final Points: 98 + 15 points; Event Success!"
As the notification sound rang out, Luo Jun rushed into the writhing tissue, and without thinking twice, activated his Gathering Origin Protective Qi and suddenly exploded!
With a loud bang, the still-forming pieces of flesh exploded. Nikolai covered his head and face with his hands and was sent flying backward. Blood could still be seen at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered a serious injury!
Luo Jun was not about to let him go and chased after him again. Seeing this, Nikolai flipped his wrist and a long spear appeared in his hand, which he thrust straight at Luo Jun who was chasing after him!
The moment the spear appeared, Luo Jun felt a chilling aura and instinctively dodged. The spear tip grazed his shoulder, actually cutting through his Gathering Origin Protective Qi and tearing his clothes, leaving a white mark on his shoulder!
It has an extremely strong ability to break through qi! However, its own strength is average and not enough to break through his flesh!
Although his defenses weren't breached, the area he touched was covered in frost, and a chill actually entered his body!
What domineering Ice Element power! But Luo Jun, relying on his exceptional Root Bone and powerful vital energy, easily dispelled the cold air, grabbed the spear shaft, and pulled it back forcefully!
The spear attack failed, and Nikolai was also taken aback. He didn't expect his opponent to be able to grab the spear shaft. Caught off guard, he was pulled towards Luo Jun and another punch came flying at his head!
In a moment of desperation, Nikolai's body suddenly became ethereal, dodging Luo Jun's punch. Upon seeing this, Luo Jun's eyes widened, and a surge of Mental Intimidation pierced out, causing Nikolai to howl in pain before his figure reappeared!
Thump!
Another heavy punch landed, and Nikolai could only raise his arms to block it. At the same time, his forearms swelled up like a gorilla's forearms, covered with a layer of hard bone plates!
A partial transformation grants maximum defensive capabilities!
Even so, it was no match for Luo Jun's monstrous strength. With a crack, the bone plates shattered, both arms broke off, and Nikolai spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward like a rag doll!
Who exactly is this person wearing Michelle's appearance? That speed, that strength, that resilience—even the Peak Martial Combat Faction wouldn't be this formidable...
Feather Transformation? Impossible. If he really Feather Transformation, he would have died in the room upstairs... This guy is definitely a Martial Combat Faction, and his strength is unbelievable!
Nikolai flew across the road, breaking Green Light pole and smashing an overpass pier before finally crashing into the shore of a lake.
Vehicles traveling on the overpass felt the vibrations on the bridge surface and came to a stop, followed by a series of car accidents accompanied by the screeching of brakes...
Before Nikolai could catch his breath, he caught a glimpse of a cold glint in his eyes. It turned out that his opponent had snatched his spear and thrown it back at him!
In a moment of panic, Nikolai dodged by flipping over, then flung away his severed hand, lowered his head, opened his mouth, and bit out a medicine box from his bracelet. The medicine box opened automatically the moment it appeared, and various gauze, medicine, sprays, and other medical equipment flew out, automatically beginning to treat his body!
At this moment, Luo Jun rushed up and was about to interrupt the treatment when he was suddenly blocked by several gauze bandages. Luo Jun punched the bandages, but found that they were wrapped with a powerful and resilient force. No matter how strong he was, he could not break through them!
Clearly, this must be a special effect of the medicine box's Noble Phantasm; it prevents interruptions during healing, and at least ordinary attacks cannot penetrate it!
But while he was healing, Nikolai was also starting to grow flesh and blood tissue, clearly trying to complete the transformation that had been interrupted earlier!
In the end, it still couldn't be stopped...?
As the flesh and tissue expanded wildly, Nikolai's body grew larger and larger, its head elongated, its mouth enlarged, revealing sharp fangs and claws, and ferocious Bone Spur sprouted from its back, while a thick, long tail lashed out furiously...
Finally, when the effects of the medicine kit wore off, a colossal beast, hundreds of meters tall, stood between the cities!
"Mom, look! Godzilla!"
On the overpass, drivers who had gotten out of their cars to check on the accident were suddenly drawn by a child's innocent voice. They turned around and were immediately terrified.
Just a few dozen meters away on the shore of Ningdong New Lake stood a gigantic monster, resembling the massive body of a dinosaur. Its terrifying head was covered with fangs, and two rows of ferocious spikes grew from its back. A flick of its tail stirred up a wave in the lake...
Although its appearance differs somewhat from Godzilla's, it must be said that its size and terrifying nature are truly comparable!
Luo Jun was also startled by the sudden appearance of the monster. He had expected it to turn into a large creature, but he hadn't anticipated it to be this big!
Honestly, this thing is several levels below the Great Angel Chimo Mosayus and Yulia, but don't forget, this is the city center!
Despite Luo Jun's efforts to force the guy towards the open New Lake, he didn't expect the guy to transform right there by the lake!
Moreover, the giant monster was also enraged. With a roar, it took a 50-meter-long stride and pounced towards Luo Jun. It was about to step on the overpass, which frightened the people on the bridge into scattering and fleeing!
In a moment of desperation, Luo Jun pulled out a revolver and pulled the trigger at the enormous monster!
With a thud, no bullet was fired, but an invisible energy struck the giant monster, and the next instant, the monster's huge foot stomped on the overpass!
Strangely, however, the stomp seemed to have no effect; the huge foot passed directly through the rickety overpass, and the pedestrians running on it were not affected at all, passing right through its lower leg.
It was as if the monster wasn't real, but just a giant Stereoscopic Projection.
"Fake?" The terrified passersby were stunned, looking up at the incredibly realistic but intangible monster. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they suddenly heard a loud bang behind them. Then, a Red Hair Woman shrouded in white mist shot towards the monster like a bullet, hitting it squarely in the chest!
With a bang, Blood Flower burst open from the monster's chest. The enormous impact propelled it backward, until it finally crashed into the water with a splash, creating huge waves that crashed against the lake shore.
"This is... the Duelist's Glory?"
Nikolai recognized the source of this strange ability: both sides affected by the effect could only inflict damage on each other and could only suffer damage from each other, which was essentially a forced one-on-one duel, and no one else could interfere with their duel!
This immunity to damage is achieved through blurring. Once it's determined that an upcoming collision will cause damage to other objects or the two people themselves, blurring will be used to avoid it. That's why Nikolai couldn't step on the overpass, but falling into the lake would create waves. Because water itself is invisible, it can't be considered destructive. However, fish, aquatic plants, and other things in the water will still be avoided.
"It's incredibly intelligent..." Luo Jun, who had surfaced from the water, was also amazed by the effects of Duelist's Glory, but now was not the time to stand there dumbfounded.
The duel effect only lasts for one minute, and there are currently fifty seconds left. During this time, no matter how much the two engage in combat, no innocent bystanders will be harmed...
Thinking of this, a shimmering light suddenly rose from Luo Jun's body, spreading out and instantly covering the lake surface within a radius of several meters.
"What is that?" Nikolai was drawn by a light and looked down to find what appeared to be a dazzling sun floating on the lake!
"This is... his internal energy?"
With the Body Refinement Realm Ninth Layer and the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, a perfect double boost, plus sixty times the Innate Potential... it can be said that in order to avoid being too conspicuous and to prevent accidentally hurting others, Luo Jun tries his best to suppress his Qi most of the time. Otherwise, even if he maintains basic Body Protecting Qi like an ordinary person, it will produce an exaggerated visual effect.
Now, without these concerns, Luo Jun seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and his inner energy poured out like a flood bursting its banks!
What appears to be an exaggerated effect is simply his usual performance!
But that's not all!
The seemingly surging qi actually began to contract... no, it should be compressed, as Luo Jun concentrated his mind!
The originally seemingly normal and pure internal energy condensed and compressed like cotton candy, eventually leaving only a thin layer that clung tightly to Luo Jun's body.
This scene shocked Nikolai even more. Compressing one's inner energy to temporarily Gao Qiang is not a particularly profound technique; even many Foundation Establishment Realm in the Heart Refining Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm can do it.
However, generally speaking, being able to compress the volume to half of its original size is already quite good, and compressing it to less than a third is considered to be the work of a master with extremely strong control. Anything below that is not just a matter of skill, but also involves a significant loss of Mental Power. The more intense the compression, the higher the loss rate. Ordinary people simply don't have that much energy to expend!
Using three times the energy compression might not even achieve a one-fold improvement, which is not a worthwhile trade in itself. Moreover, one has to constantly endure the mental burden, which is difficult for most people to bear!
But this thing... the compression is less than one percent of the original, right?
No... don't worry, it's only a thin layer, even if it's hard, it's nothing to worry about!
Nikolai reassured himself, opened his mouth wide, and a blazing light rose from the center of his throat.
I don't believe your thin eggshell can withstand my breath!
Just as Nikolai was about to unleash his full power after charging up, his enormous eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the change below.
The guy who was wearing Michelle's appearance suddenly had his protective aura, which had been compressed hundreds of times, thicken!
While maintaining the same density, the thickness suddenly expanded from a few centimeters to several meters!
"Are you kidding me...?"
Nikolai cursed inwardly, but with the breath already on his lips, he lowered his head and, steeling himself, unleashed his strongest attack!
At the same time, Luo Jun suddenly leaped upwards, rushing towards the cascading breath!
