Innate Divine Ability

Su Bo had already eaten it, so what was there to hesitate about?

The two exchanged a glance. There was a seventy to eighty percent chance of opening a divine aperture and nurturing an innate divine ability. What were they waiting for?

They were going all in!

Looking at the martial meal before them, the two picked up their bowls and downed them in one gulp.

The pale golden broth entered their mouths, soft and smooth, slipping down their throats in a single line. Vast soul power surged upward, flooding into the depths of their sea of consciousness and souls like sweet rain upon parched fields.

Boom...

It felt as though his brain were creating heaven and earth... Well, that was purely wishful thinking. Su Bo opened his eyes.

Soul Vine, Three-Turn Soulfruit, and dozens of heavenly treasures that would make even Divine Ability realm martial artists fight to seize them had been boiled into a small bowl of golden broth.

Its faint fragrance was neither strong nor intense, just like an ordinary bowl of soup.

The dense vitality and boiling, immense soul power from when it had been simmering were completely gone, as though all of it had been an illusion.

The instant he drank it...

Vast vitality flooded into Su Bo's limbs and bones, seeping into his flesh, skin, sinews, bones, and internal organs. At an astonishing speed, it restored the hidden injuries he had accumulated through cultivation.

At the same time, streams of endless soul power surged into his sea of consciousness and soul.

Though he did not experience that supreme sensation of creating heaven and earth, he could clearly feel an indescribable clarity rising in his heart.

Crack...

A soundless shattering rang out. Su Bo could distinctly sense that a wondrous aperture had opened within his soul's sea of consciousness.

The surging, unceasing soul power all rushed into it at once.

The moment the soul power poured in, the vitality that had just been nourishing Su Bo's flesh, bones, and internal organs abruptly reversed course and surged toward it.

Like rivers flowing into the sea, it gathered with the soul power and flooded madly into the divine aperture.

As vitality and soul power converged and poured into the divine aperture, they drew Su Bo's consciousness along with them, plunging it into the newly opened aperture.

A pale golden radiance flickered, and in the next instant...

Su Bo saw an endless ocean of blood appear before his eyes. Crimson waves churned and crashed, throwing up enormous blood tides dozens, even hundreds, of meters high.

As the boundless blood sea formed, the vitality and soul power flowing into it intertwined once more.

One, two, three... five, seven, nine... twenty-one, thirty-one... fifty-four, seventy-two, eighty-one, ninety-nine...

One after another, wondrous runes with pale gold as their base and blood-red markings rose continuously from the blood sea, nurtured by vitality and soul power.

Until one hundred and eight gold-based, blood-patterned runes rose above the blood sea, intertwining with one another to form a golden wheel. Within it, the three aspects of sun, moon, and stars faintly emerged in reverse rotation.

The instant the golden wheel took shape, the stellar aspect upon it reversed ever so slightly for a moment.

Su Bo felt the endless vitality that had just poured into the divine aperture continuously emerge again, seeping into his limbs and bones and erasing all his hidden injuries.

Soul power also flowed into his sea of consciousness and soul, strengthening the origin of his soul.

"What is this?" Su Bo was filled with surprise.

Hadn't the endless vitality and soul power contained in the martial meal been absorbed by the divine aperture to open it and nurture his innate divine ability?

Just as he was bewildered.

An insight rose within him. It not only resolved his doubts, but also allowed him to understand what innate divine ability had been born.

[Innate Divine Ability: Reversion] A triple divine ability using the power of the three aspects: the stellar aspect reverses vitality, the lunar aspect reverses the soul, and the solar aspect reverses time. It overturns all things and returns one to their peak!

Simply put, the innate divine ability nurtured within Su Bo's divine aperture was utterly heaven-defying!

Solar Aspect: Commands the origin of the Great Sun's radiant temporal order, reversing his own temporal trajectory over a short period.

Characteristic: Time. Any temporary overdraw, lifespan loss, origin overload, or other cost could be erased through temporal reversal, leaving no aftereffects.

Lunar Aspect: Commands the origin of the lunar radiance that condenses the spirit, reversing damage to the soul, mind, and sea of consciousness.

Characteristic: Untainted. At the instant of reversal, it automatically purified all mental debuffs, soul curses, and spiritual restrictions.

Stellar Aspect: Commands the origin of the stars' Heavenly Gang vitality, coordinating the physical body's internal organs, blood and qi, vitality, and stamina.

Characteristic: Vitality. Even if one were on the verge of depletion, with their lamp running dry and oil exhausted, it could instantly rebuild the foundation of vitality throughout the body.

The blood and qi and soul power that had suddenly appeared just now were the result of the Solar Aspect activating, reversing time and restoring the vitality and soul power used to nurture the divine ability.

Of course, this was also because of Su Bo himself.

The immense vitality and soul power had nourished his soul and body, erasing all hidden injuries. It had felt far too good.

So, after that vitality and soul power had been devoured by the innate divine ability, he felt slightly regretful—and the Solar Aspect quietly reversed time.

However, reversing his own temporal trajectory over a short period could only be activated once within a certain span of time.

Su Bo estimated it himself...

The Solar Aspect could probably reverse time once every seven days, the Lunar Aspect once every three days or so, while the Stellar Aspect could reverse time two or three times in a single day.

The main problem was that his weak soul origin could not quite withstand the expenditure of using an innate divine ability.

Moreover, the powers of the three aspects could not exploit each other's loopholes either...

It seemed that he would have to carefully deliberate and calculate whenever he used the power of his divine ability in the future.

With his innate divine ability complete, coupled with the cleansing of dragon blood and the emergence of his second characteristic, his strength had soared to an extremely terrifying level.

He wanted to find the Gravekeeper Spirit Skeleton to test his skills, then have it help him pick out a group of technicians—Withered-Bone Demon Corpses—to give him some proper service.

And familiarize himself with his dramatically increased strength while he was at it.

"It worked, I did it!" A voice rang out from the other side. Yi You was beside himself with excitement. He had never thought that one day he would possess an innate divine ability as well.

Liu Yue also opened his eyes, but beneath the joy in them hid a faint trace of disappointment.

His divine aperture had opened, yet he had failed to nurture an innate divine ability.

Still, this trip had yielded abundant gains. Even if he had failed to nurture an innate divine ability, with the Celestial Human Race's immense foundation, they could make up for this missing divine ability after the Starry Sky Trial ended.

Thus, he quickly concealed his disappointment, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After all, he had not even considered such a thing before.

He had only wanted to obtain the Soul Vine to use its immense soul power to nourish his soul and cultivate his divine intent.

He had never expected to receive such an opportunity in the Soul-Spirit Burial Grounds, opening a divine aperture, vastly increasing his soul origin, and multiplying his combat strength severalfold.

That already counted as a great opportunity, a tremendous fortuitous encounter.

But that brat Yi You had actually succeeded, which made him very unhappy.

Yi You, his face brimming with delight, was full of confidence. He felt that even against those true monstrous geniuses of the Federation, he would not fear them in the slightest.

His combat strength at the same level had increased by at least tenfold.

That was the value of an innate divine ability...

And this was only because he had just mastered his innate divine ability and was still too weak to unleash its full power.

If he could completely master this divine ability in the future, becoming invincible among Kings would not be beyond imagination.
