I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Hachima An: Perseverance Is Victory!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The most mysterious existence of Lu Ming was undoubtedly the system with an unknown origin.

This thing had an inscrutable origin, could not be traced, and was probably incomprehensible to anyone, including the principles behind its operation. The former World Tree could not replicate the system.

Even as the system’s owner, Lu Ming could not understand its principles.

All Lu Ming knew was that this thing could help him break through the limits of his physical body.

It could make Lu Ming quickly become stronger.

But, how did it help Lu Ming break through the limits of his physical body?

He had no idea.

At this moment, looking at the words of the Void Domain that had abruptly appeared, Lu Ming was extremely puzzled.

He could not imagine that the source of this thing was none other than Hachima An from outside!

Hachima An’s Eye of Void should be more accurately named Void Domain.

Of course, without the attribute panel and with Hachima An’s inability to fully develop this ability, he could only refer to it as the Eye of Void.

However, this was not important.

What was important was that when Hachima An activated the Eye of Void and dragged Lu Ming into the void space, a special connection was established between them.

After Lu Ming’s Source Power Skill Armor advanced to the Intricate Realm, the upgrade of his skill brought about an enhancement of his physical fitness.

One question.

Where did the energy for the enhancement of physical fitness come from?

The answer was from the outside world!

What Lu Ming did not know was that every time he experienced a surge in power, a large number of mystery factors floating in the air would be drawn into his body by the system, serving as energy to increase his strength!

This was the source of Lu Ming’s body’s ability to contain mystery factors far beyond his current level!

And now, Lu Ming’s Source Power Armor had advanced.

The system needed to extract energy to fill the gap in Lu Ming’s body.

Most of this energy still came from the mystery factors freely floating in the air. However, since Lu Ming had advanced within the void space, it also linked him with Hachima An.

This caused the system to inadvertently draw a portion of Hachima An’s energy and incorporate it into Lu Ming’s body!

Lu Ming did not possess the ability to extract other’s abilities.

However, under these various coincidences, this situation was validated.

This scene clearly could not be replicated.

Lu Ming and Hachima An had no clue about the principles and logic behind it at all.

Due to his personality, Lu Ming did not want to delve too deeply into questions for which he could not find answers—besides, it did not seem to be a bad thing anyway.

And Hachima, unaware of the current situation, naturally did not know that Lu Ming was extracting his blood and marrow.

Considering that once the Eye of Void ended, he and his group would no longer have a chance of survival against Lu Ming, he could only continue to maintain the current situation.

Seventeen seconds later.

Lu Ming’s Explosive Fist had reached the Intricate Realm!

Explosive Fist (Intricate) (1/10,000,000): Mortal Realm Source Power Skill. After mastering it, the lethality of the punch will greatly increase. You have cultivated the Explosive Fist to the intricate level. All your attributes+2,000! Your free attribute points+2,000!

Inside the void space.

When Lu Ming threw a punch, he immediately sensed the power of the Intricate Realm Explosive Fist!

It was the same as the Source Power Armor.

The transition from the Perfect Realm to the Intricate Realm was a fundamental change!

He could clearly perceive that when the power surged within his punch, every strand and thread of force within his fist seemed to obey Lu Ming’s command, much like his muscles did.

Even when the fist force left his body, this connection remained unbroken!

When Lu Ming threw a punch, the power of Intricate Realm Explosive Fist twisted and turned, seemingly like a living creature as it swirled around Lu Ming’s body!

Lu Ming said that line again…

“Is this still an Explosive Fist?”

It didn’t look like it anymore.

It really didn’t look like it…

In short, a qualitative change had occurred.

Looking at the Void Domain, he discovered that there were these notations, (Extracting) (Awakening) behind it.

“Well, then I’ll just continue…”

From the moment he entered this place until now, Lu Ming had already spent a total of 82 days.

This period was rather long, with no one around to chat with him. It felt as if he were confined to a solitary cell.

A normal person would surely go crazy.

Yet Lu Ming found solace in it.

He loved this environment!

It was a given, just keep practicing Explosive Fist!

In the outside world, Hachima An spat out a mouthful of blood. That sensation of being drawn away had resurfaced once again. More than a minute had passed.

“What’s going on?”

Hachima An could not figure out what was going on.

But one thing was very clear.

If he did not control Lu Ming, Lu Ming would have to control him.

It was a given, he had to persevere!

Perseverance is victory!

For Lu Ming, one regrettable aspect was that he did not have Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan with him in the void space. He could not gain daily attribute growth, and he could not raise the proficiency of cultivating Lv 46 (4000/4600).

Because of this, he could only cultivate Source Power Skills and Body Forging Technique here.

But cultivating was good enough.

Lu Ming had no reason to be dissatisfied.

However, Lu Ming had to make a plan and arrange what to cultivate.

“The cultivation of the Source Power Armor is simple. It would not affect the cultivation of other Source Power Skills.”

An increase of 10,000 proficiency points a day was definitely not a problem.

“So, along with Source Power Armor, i’ll start with cultivating Soldier Transformation Technique and Atomic Sword Technique.”

The cultivation of the Soldier Transformation Technique was not very convenient. It required Lu Ming to constantly generate and dissipate weapons in a cycle.

Since cultivating Soldier Transformation Technique was somewhat tedious, pairing it with the Body Realm Source Power Skill, Atomic Sword Technique, was a great choice.

Incidentally, the difficulty of practicing Body Realm Source Power Skills was much higher than that of Mortal Realm Source Power Skills. And being in the void space allowed Lu Ming to concentrate without being disturbed by the outside world. He did not even feel hungry or tired.

This allowed Lu Ming to focus and overcome the cultivation difficulties although he did not face much challenge in cultivation, with the help of the system in his body…

In the outside world, just ten seconds later, Hachima An spat out another mouthful of blood.

The sensation of being drawn reappeared, and it was even more fiercer and violent than before!

But what could Hachima An do?

There was nothing he could do, he could only continue to persevere…

Within the void space, Lu Ming’s Atomic Sword Technique had reached the proficient level!

All attributes+3,000!

The Void Domain was still displaying the notations, (Extracting) (Awakening)…

In the outside world, another forty seconds had passed.

Hachima An vomited blood again.

Lu Ming’s Soldier Transformation Technique had reached the Proficient level. All attributes+300!

The Void Domain was still displaying the notations, (Extracting) (Awakening)…

In the outside world, another minute had passed.

The intense sensation of being drawn away instantly caused Hachima An’s body to tremble, and his vision blurred!

He could not hold on any longer…

This was because Lu Ming’s Atomic Sword Technique had already reached the Perfect level!

All attributes+4,000!

However, the Void Domain was still displaying the notations, (Extracting) (Awakening)…

“Damn! What the hell is going on?!”

Generally speaking, experts had a certain instinctive ability to sense danger similar to an animal’s instinct.

At this moment, Hachima An deeply realized one thing.

The situation was dire.

It had to end the effect of the Eye of Void as soon as possible and release Lu Ming!

However, the problem was that if they let Lu Ming out, Lu Ming would twist their heads off one by one.

In any case, it seemed they were all doomed…

In the face of utter desperation, Hachima An took a deep breath, a sinister and ruthless glint flashing in its eyes.

“It’s better for you to die than me.”

He had made a decision!
