I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 831: Systematic Analysis of Treasures (Part 1)



Each whip spanned a length of 1.8 kilometres, with their shaft adjusting its size to fit Brangara's human form hands. With this equipped, he could exhaust the stamina of his pursuers, forcing them to use more Prana in an effort to keep ace with him.

It wouldn't work in the grand scheme of things, 'With Blola around, they have an endless stream of Prana. And Inala could simply absorb it and share it with the others. So, I can't actually rely on this method to weaken them. However, I can use it to buy time, however much possible.'

'As long as I reunite with Yarsha, I should be able to make a complete recovery.' He thought and lashed out with the whip. However, the moment it was about to targe a Kinesis Feline, the latter reacted spontaneously and evaded the attack, not even in the slightest looking like it had put in any effort for the motion.

'Of course, a Brimgan Royal at the Mystic Grade...his control speed of a Spirit Weapon is probably many times my own.' Brangara analysed as he held the whip. He had used both psychokinesis and Subtle Terrain Domination to move the end of the whip at its fastest speed. However, even that was casually dodged by the Kinesis Feline.

And a moment later, they readjusted their positions to be situated exactly 1.8 kilometres from Brangara, precisely trailing right outside his range, teasing him, antagonising him at the fact that Boul Brimgan could dodge his attacks irrespective of whatever methods he employed. 'Normally, that level of arrogant confidence would have irritated me. However, not now.'

He was tired! More than that, he could simply stop caring less after everything he had been put through. It was a sort of self defence mechanism by his brain. It simply shut off all manner of emotional intelligence and everything else related to the sort.

The entirety of his brainpower was only to be focused on analysing the battle situation and fight. He would only stop himself after killing Barla around nine times. At the Body Stage, her Astral Puncture wouldn't be threatening enough against him. 'She simply won't have enough Prana to activate that ability.'

Even though Brangara couldn't know what Astral Puncture was or how it had been created, considering how many times he took it to the face, he knew by experience that something of this level could only be achieved through a State of Harmony unleashed using all 100 slots of the Astral Chart.

'That's a feat beyond what my daughter is capable of.' Brangara thought, focusing his gaze on Inala, 'It must have been him. No one else could think of something like that. Yarsha could very likely create something similar, but she'll need significantly more time than however much he took for the same.'

'But that doesn't matter. The sheer amount of Prana necessary to activate all 100 Natures in a State of Harmony requires charging Astral Chart with a level of Prana beyond what a single Empyrean Boar King body could provide.' He concluded. However, his analysis was slightly off the mark.

10,800 Prana!

That was the Prana Capacity of a single boy of the Empyrean Boar King. And that exactly was how much Prana it took to unleash Astral Puncture once. Harmony wasn't just in using the Natures, but also in the Prana consumption.

At the peak of the Body Stage, Barla could unleash Astral Puncture once. And at her current cultivation at the 10-Life Stage, she could unleash ten of them, one per each body, truly in a state of harmony.

While deciding it, Inala had calculated through many combinations before finalising on one that could perfectly consume all the Prana capacity of an Empyrean Boar King body.

Brangara's conclusion was somewhat off the mark in terms of the math, but he had a pretty accurate judgement about everything else. His mind was operating with a self-preservation tactic, capable of currently killing his own daughter without feeling an ounce of sadness.

Once his mind reverts to normalcy, Brangara would be absolutely destroyed by the fact that he had killed Barla, if he does so now. However, that was a suffering meant for the future. It wasn't part of his capacity currently.

Upon seeing Brangara stare at Inala calmly, the figure of Root that was riding a Kinesis Feline nearby noticed something was amiss. He approached Inala as the two Kinesis Felines ran in parallel, observing his Deity in focused pondering to ask, "What's troubling you, My Deity?"

"3761..." Inala muttered as he eyes Root, "That's the Celestial Boar's lifespan in years that I have extracted until now. However,"

He subtle pointed at Brangara, "Does he look like he has aged by that much?"

Brangara had already lived for two millennia. If three more were extracted, then he was well past half his lifespan. His appearance should reflect that. However, he only looked like he was in his late twenties.

"Isn't that because the body is a fake?" Root tilted his head.

"Yeah, I arrived at that conclusion myself." Inala nodded, "The thing is...Astral World is a Major Treasure. So basically, it's a Transcendent and that implies it has infinite lifespan."

"However," Inala glanced at Root, 'When I stole your original form's lifespan, the body aged accordingly. That was what I was hoping for.'

If Inala absorbed the Celestial Boar's full lifespan, the body should wither out and die. Astral World would be able to construct a new body using its influence, since the Celestial Boar body was an Influenced Region.

But that time frame with a body's death and a new one being built by Astral World was what Inala wanted to capitalise on. If everyone targeted that moment, they'll manage to buy enough time for him to unleash the effects of Royal Split.

'However, his powers have become a lot more sophisticated.' Inala sighed as he figured out the entire reason. Astral World didn't try to rebuild a new body after the previous one aged

-out.

No, similar to how the body gets rid of cancer cells, it was using its Influence to create young cells and replace the aging ones. That was why the Celestial Boar didn't age even after Inala absorbed a whopping amount of lifespan.

Once the aging cells were replaced, they were digested by Unlimited Predator. Thereby, there was no external indicator for them to figure out what was happening. Of course, there was one

exception.

[Resha, tell me everything you're seeing.]

Minor Treasure-Spectral Eyes!

It allowed Resha to observe all traces of Prana in various colour spectrums. Thereby, the activation of every ability was visible in his senses. Spectral Eyes was the most potent Minor Treasure in the Mammoth Clan's possession.

And towards the end of the Centinger Hunt, Resha was given the chance to enter the Mammoth Treasury, which was where he obtained Spectral Eyes. All along, he had been observing everything through Spectral Eyes.

It was also thanks to this Minor Treasure that he could actively accumulate Empyrean Tusk

essence from Grehha's Empyrean Incubator whenever the two traded with each other. And thanks to Spectral Eyes, Resha could improve the application of his Perfect Inertial Gravity until he elevated the ability to the Mystic Grade.

It formed the core of his skillset. From an external perspective, his eyes looked normal. However, Resha's vision was a colourful canvas with swirling flows of Prana unleashed by various existences at the scene.

There was a thin, almost invisible golden stream that trailed from Boul Brimgan to each Kinesis Felines. 'That's the thinnest stream of Prana I have ever seen until now.'

Resha focused on Brangara, clearly observing the reddish-brown absolute domain erected by Subtle Terrain Domination around the latter. In them, there were two bluish-pink whips, reaching the ends from the centre.

Grey-black ripples appeared around Brangara's legs and combined with the jet of yellow to keep him propelled at speeds where he could avoid getting surrounded by the Mystic Seven and the rest.

At the centre of the absolute domain was a stomach, dark brown in terms of colour. As Resha focused on it, he could notice a faint emission of brown that was rapidly circulating through Brangara's body.

And if Resha were to focus alongside his Perfect Inertial Gravity, he could focus on the gate of the Astral World—the entry point into the stomach-and observe the sheer figures of colours strolling about inside.

As Resha was observing, he heard Inala's voice, recalling the previous fight as he recorded everything in a Bone Slip and threw to the latter.

"Thanks," Inala received the Bone Slip and accessed its contents by using Mystic Bone Arts. He lost 20 units of Prana permanently for doing so, but a couple of seconds later, by absorbing Mystic Grade Prana and Lifespan from a Biome Bomb, he spontaneously trained to rebuilt the lost Prana.

He had done this enough times to perform it subconsciously. And as all the information perceived by Resha's Spectral Eyes flowed into his mind space, Inala had a complete grasp of the situation, 'Every Major Treasure unleashes a pillar of light. This is simply a sheer amount of presence that had been condensed until it is perceivable to the naked eye. There didn't exist any practical uses for this presence other than two.'

The presence-pillar of light-unleashed by a Minor Treasure could influence the bodies of living beings and cause a mutation eventually. Similarly, the pillar of light unleashed by a Major Treasure could influence the terrain.

Originally, Inala didn't understand why there was such a difference between a Major Treasure's presence and a Minor Treasure's. There was just too much information from the Brimgan Founder, and that only resulted in over a million possibilities.

However, over time, through practical experience, Inala rejected most of the theorised possibilities, gradually narrowing towards the answer. And now, it fully clicked in him. 'Sumatra Continent has two races of Pranic Beasts and Free Humans. If I have to theorise how

life began here, it's from the blessed race. Sumatra Continent itself is the final form of a Mystic Transcendent who lost the will to live.'

The Gold Empyrean Tentacle roamed Sumatra Continent in its infancy, gradually changing terrains across the place. Sumatra's Transcendent Eater filled the place with Parute Trees. The Gold Empyrean Tentacle consumed the Parute Fruits for energy and continued to alter the

terrain.

And during the process, its Thought condensation affected some Parute Trees, mutating them until some of them turned into grass, shrubs, etc. That resulted in the vegetation.

Iron Empyrean Tentacle then lived in each region, dying repeatedly. And every day it died, it

changed a little as its body adapted better to the region. Eventually, maybe by the end of its

lifespan or the moment it lost its Primary Nature of Daily Checkpoint, it had mutated into another Pranic Beast.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This Pranic Beast was better suited to live in the region. Of course, life was hard back then, especially since such Pranic Beasts were alone. They couldn't even mate to propagate their species.

Majority of such Pranic Beasts either died to the dangers of the environment, to loneliness, or to old age. In extremely rare cases, the Iron Empyrean Tentacle would be reborn in the same region and begin its adaptation process once again.

And if it mutates into the same Pranic Beast race before the existing Pranic Beast died, then a

mating could happen. Of course, for this to happen, two conditions must happen. First, the

mutation should result in the same race and not another race that could also adapt to the region's conditions.

Second, it should have the opposite gender. This made the original possibility even more abyssal for the propagation of a species.

However, after countless eras, through the accumulation of innumerous variables and chance encounters, there appeared a few races with individuals in opposing genders at the start. They propagated and expanded the population of the respective Pranic Beast race.

As an Iron Grade Pranic Beast, the Iron Empyrean Tentacle was extremely prone to mutations,

especially since it could die and revive daily, which made its adaptation extremely fast. Eventually, countless Pranic Beast races roamed Sumatra.

But they were all Beginner Iron Grade Pranic Beasts, unable to grow stronger beyond certain members of their race reaching higher levels through Mutations. But they were individual examples. And even if some of them entered the Silver Grade through an evolution, the spike

in sentience couldn't be transferred to the rest of the race that was stuck at Beginner Iron

Grade.

That all changed thanks to the Silver Empyrean Tentacle, which was the ancestor of the Free

Humans, created to allow the Pranic Beasts a chance to evolve.
