Emperor Sun Aura

That night.

Su Bei browsed online through the origins of Gene Martial Arts, which detailed the journey of modern martial arts from nothing to what it was today, along with the core philosophy of Gene Martial Arts.

He skimmed through it at a glance.

Su Bei quickly finished reading the tens of thousands of words in detail, then looked up the relevant literature on the Great Sun Hanging Sky Gene Method.

The next moment, text floated across the panel in his mind.

Mission: Mystery of the Cultivation Method (Completed)

You have forged a path unprecedented in the True Martial World. Taking yourself as the universe, your genetic cells shine like a brilliant galaxy. Though imperfect, this was made possible by the uniqueness of your body. Congratulations.

"Now that's more like it."

Su Bei let out a long sigh.

He truly hoped more missions like this would be issued. Quite a few Side Missions had appeared lately, but they either required killing people or completing Seeking Immortals Sect missions. Nearly all of them meant certain death.

Not a single one was something he could complete.

"But what exactly is this Emperor Sun Aura?"

Su Bei pondered inwardly. This was a six-star mission!

It could be said to be the most difficult mission he had encountered so far!

Take that previous Revenge mission, for instance. It had required him, as a Martial Apprentice, to kill a Blood Moving Realm martial artist, then uproot that person's entire family...

The equivalent would have been demanding that Su Bei, when his base strength was just over a thousand kilograms, kill a martial artist and then wipe out his whole family. And everyone knew that an outer disciple could hardly be the core figure of a family!

There might even have been second-order and third-order martial artists in that family.

That mission was practically a joke. It was only missing the words telling Su Bei to go die.

Of course, the reward had been incredibly generous as well. Cultivation Infusion—just thinking about it told him it could not be as simple as gaining three or five hundred jin of strength.

And yet... that level of difficulty was only three stars!

Su Bei did not even dare imagine how outrageous the reward for a six-star mission would be.

The next moment.

A wisp of supremely radiant light appeared directly within Su Bei's body. In an instant, it drifted to his chest before sinking straight inside.

Su Bei only felt his heart grow scorching hot, as though gentle sunlight had bathed his entire body, filling him with incomparable warmth.

Thump, thump, thump...

His heart beat powerfully, like a drum struck by heavy mallets. Blood surged into his heart, then was pumped out to every limb and bone in his body. Even the blood seemed to contain some of the sun's energy, glimmering with a faint radiance.

In a daze, Su Bei seemed to gain the ability to look within his own body. Following his gaze, it finally settled on his beating heart. A streak of dazzling golden light gradually calmed, turning into a strand of golden energy without leaking the slightest aura.

Emperor Sun Aura: A trace of aura released when the Emperor Sun, which once stood amid the cosmos in ancient times, fell. Though merely a trace, it was like the lifelong energy of a supreme powerhouse.

"This..."

"No wonder it's a treasure from a fantasy high-martial world."

Su Bei was utterly shocked.

The quality of this energy was probably terrifyingly high!

Though there was only a single trace, to the current Su Bei, its power seemed like a boundless sea. Its aura was contained, yet it was as deep as an abyss and as oppressive as a prison, radiating the vast majesty of heaven and earth and inspiring dread.

Before this trace of energy, it seemed that all living things could only bow in worship.

Fortunately, it was relatively compatible with his body. Otherwise, Su Bei truly had no idea whether he would die instantly if this trace of power erupted.

However, Su Bei had no ability to control energy of such high quality. He could only let it remain quietly in his chest. Yet with every beat of his heart and every circulation of blood, Su Bei could sense that his physical constitution was slowly strengthening at an extremely gradual pace.

But the pace was far too slow. It was like a vast sea leaking out drop by drop. To absorb it all would likely take a hundred years.

Su Bei had a premonition.

If he could absorb all of this Emperor Sun Aura, his strength would likely reach an unimaginably terrifying level.

With a thought, Su Bei flipped out the window. Like a nimble ape, he climbed to the rooftop of the eight-story residential building in just a few breaths.

Whoosh, whoosh...

He assumed a stance, shaping his arms like a spear. His blood and qi surged wildly as he performed a full set of the Piercing Sun Spear Technique. Qi Force shot forth frantically as if it cost nothing, striking empty air with crackling bangs like strings of firecrackers.

The Piercing Sun Spear Technique had six forms.

The first form, Long Rainbow, focused on thrusting strikes.

The second form, Skybreak, focused on piercing strikes.

The third form, Wind-Splitting, focused on cleaving strikes.

The fourth form, Thunder Shatter, focused on returning strikes.

The fifth form, Cloud-Sweeping, focused on sweeping strikes.

The sixth form, Piercing Sun, focused on stabbing strikes.

Every strike Su Bei made was delivered at full force. Though he held no spear, every move he made seemed as though a spear were in his hand, and the sharp aura nearly burst from his arms.

After a long while.

Su Bei withdrew his hands and stood still, an expression of wild delight appearing on his face.

The Piercing Sun Spear Technique was fierce and aggressive. Every blow used complete force, so naturally it consumed a great deal of blood and qi.

Under normal circumstances, using his blood and qi so recklessly would not leave him utterly exhausted, but it would at least consume sixty or seventy percent of it.

But.

The blood and qi he had just expended recovered as his heart beat, while the integration of threads of Emperor Sun Energy seemed to accelerate onto a highway, far surpassing its normal speed!

As that brilliant golden energy transformed, his blood and qi had barely been depleted before they fully recovered within a single breath!

Though it was passive, it was like carrying an oversized power bank with him.

His blood and qi were practically limitless. What that meant was obvious!

"I wonder if it has any other uses."

After thinking for a moment, Su Bei turned his fingertips into a blade and curled his fingers, viciously slashing his arm. A long, narrow wound appeared, followed by beads of blood seeping out.

Su Bei waited quietly for a while, but the wound showed no signs of healing.

In other words, the Emperor Sun Aura did not possess the ability to heal injuries.

Though Su Bei was somewhat disappointed, he did not care too much. After all, it was impossible for every good thing in the world to fall into his hands alone.

Even so, this was already enough to delight Su Bei.

"This power absolutely cannot be discovered by anyone!"

Su Bei secretly made up his mind. At present, he could not control this power and could only passively receive it.

But that did not mean others could not control it. If certain powerhouses learned that his body contained this kind of power, they would cross mountains and seas to seize it from him!

That would truly be placing himself in mortal danger.

Not even Wuji Martial Hall could protect him. They might even turn around and force him to hand it over.

Su Bei examined himself.

"Strength has reached the physical body's limit!"

"Fist martial arts have reached perfection!"

"Spear martial arts have reached the Greater Achievement Realm. Once I take the Intelligence Enhancement Pill tomorrow, I should be able to push my high-grade martial techniques to the Greater Achievement Realm within the next few days!"

"Movement martial arts have reached the Greater Achievement Realm!"

"Blood and qi are inexhaustible!"

He was terrifyingly powerful!
