Absolute Choice-Chapter 514

The Transcendence Holy Tree that truly existed in history was a supreme divine object which had created the Transcendents, Celestials, and Infernals. The imitation that was imprecisely produced on the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower could not be compared at all. Under Shi Xiaobai’s poison resistance and ‘This Turtle Is Hardest’, the poison from the counterfeit holy tree was not a poison but a tonic for Shi Xiaobai.

However, the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’ that erupted after the backlash from the Transcendent King’s heritage power was the real poison of the holy tree. The toxicity was terrifying beyond imagination! Even after 80% of the poison had been reduced through his poison resistant body, the remaining 20% was still fatal for humans!

Shi Xiaobai’s organs, limbs, and blood vessels were being encroached by the black poison as his skin turned black. His vital organs instantly fell victim and his cells rapidly died.

His body was devastated and his biological processes were coming to a halt!

If he was not rescued, Shi Xiaobai would die within a minute!

Shi Xiaobai obviously would not sit idle. He immediately powered ‘Unleaking Turtle Aura’ as much as he could to hold off the numbing of his limbs. He raised his hands with great difficulty and pressed down on his temples. After pressing down a few times, he immediately moved from top to bottom, down his face, neck, shoulders, chest, and waist. He pressed down on himself in an orderly manner. It looked neither fast nor slow, but the speed of his hands had allowed him to finish massaging every part of his upper body in less than thirty seconds!

Massage Technique of God!

It was one of the most amazing and unimaginable prizes the Absolute Choice had given him to date. On the surface, it was known as an ‘offensive skill’ but in fact, it was not too much an exaggeration to call it a ‘divine skill’.

Shi Xiaobai had once used the Massage Technique of God to reduce Mozzie from a fat chick to a petite, cute chick. He had also used the Massage Technique of God to solve a problem that had plagued Mu Yuesheng for several years. He had managed to widen her Mind Expanse, a feat deemed impossible by the field of psionic ability research!

The Massage Technique of God could even greatly reduce the fatigue in one’s muscles and give fresh strength to a person’s body. It even allowed an exhausted person to experience ‘new life’ like giving spring to withered wood through the massage. Back on the third level, Shi Xiaobai had used the Massage Technique of God to provide unlimited endurance for Mozzie and Kevin. He allowed them to train without rest in a short period of time, greatly increasing their strength.

The Massage Technique of God was nearly omnipotent, so much so that Shi Xiaobai even believed that ‘there was no problem in the world that the Massage Technique of God could not solve. If once wouldn’t do, twice would do the trick’.

However, in order to maintain the balance of one’s worldview, the more imbalanced something is, the more limitations it would have!

Just like Speechless Li’s ‘Mirror Replication’. Its powerful abilities were absurd but in fact, a superpower like ‘Mirror Replication’ had more limitations than the superpowers of Liu Yu, Pulp Farmer, and company. Furthermore, there was an ‘absolute limitation’. However, Speechless Li would deftly avoid the ‘absolute limitation’ when using his superpower. Furthermore, he would use the ability to its utmost perfection under the limitations of ‘Mirror Replication’. Dawn Li had previously seen through the imperfections of ‘Mirror Replication’. In fact, that was one of the many weaknesses ‘Mirror Replication’ had.

The Massage Technique of God naturally had limitations!

Shi Xiaobai had discovered the first limitation on the third level. After repeatedly using ‘Giving Spring to Withered Wood’ on Mozzie and Kevin, it slowly became apparent that the effects were weakening. Although the decrease after each application was not obvious, with the passage of time and the increase in the number of applications, the cumulative decrease became apparent. It even reached a point when ‘Giving Spring to Withered Wood’ did not even affect the two.

It was then apparent that the Massage Technique of God had a limitation when it came to the same person being massaged. Although there had been no systematic experimentation which prevented Shi Xiaobai from judging if the limitation was forever or just a temporary sensory overload. But at least, it was impossible to make the Massage Technique of God become a perpetual motion machine.

This limitation was in fact rather acceptable. It did not seem to lessen the absurd properties of Massage Technique of God by too much.

However, Shi Xiaobai had discovered a second limitation on the seventh level. This limitation could be deemed ‘fatal’!

Back in the array world of the God Slaughtering Formation, he and Dawn Li had been pursued by monsters. They had just engaged in a life-and-death battle, with Shi Xiaobai using all his strength to use Excalibur. Dawn Li had also used the power of her Sword Soul twice. Therefore, the both of them were completely exhausted. They escaped together and relied on each other without abandoning the other. In order to protect the other, they would push themselves to the fullest to the point of fainting. It also resulted in Shi Xiaobai being forced to use the ‘evil seed of fury.

In fact, Shi Xiaobai had once attempted to use the Massage Technique of God on himself before he attempted using it on Dawn Li in the array world!

However, be it ‘Giving Spring to Withered Wood’ or the ‘Massage Technique of God’s other effects, their effects were nearly nothing on himself and on Dawn Li. It could even be said to be ‘completely useless’!

Shi Xiaobai had once pondered over the matter repeatedly before he finally had a vague inkling of the reason.

The Massage Technique of God was not omnipotent. It had an absolute limitation!

And the greatest limitation was—the difference in level!

Why were the effects of the Massage Technique of God so prominent when used on Mozzie, Kevin, and Mu Yuesheng? Yet, it was completely useless on himself and Dawn Li?

The root cause was that their ‘physical toughness’ was on a completely different level from the trio!

Dawn Li was the strongest human in history. Not only was her sword technique extraordinary at the equivalent to the Psionic Mortal Realm, her ‘physical toughness’ also far exceeded her peers. There was no need to mention Shi Xiaobai. With the Power of Taotie’s ability to ‘consume and digest’ the Transcendent holy fruit, the Celestial Jade, and the Infernal King’s sword, his ‘physical toughness’ had been enhanced to the point of him being able to clash straight on with King Leonis in the Transcendence third transformation. He could be considered as a ‘freak’ to other humans at the Psionic Mortal Realm!

The theory behind the Massage Technique of God was to use ‘an unimaginable massage’ to influence a person’s body. It could be compared to molding a pliable piece of clay into various clay sculptures!

The receiver’s ‘physical toughness’ would clearly affect the effects of the Massage Technique of God. Soft clay was easily molded but what if the soft clay became hard metal? Could it still be easily ‘molded’?

This was the greatest limitation of the Massage Technique of God. Its omnipotence was only limited to ‘physical toughness’. For soft clay like Mozzie, it was easily molded, but when molding metals like Shi Xiaobai and Dawn Li, no amount of pressing could deform them.

Of course, this did not mean that the limits of the Massage Technique of God were that. In fact, the Massage Technique of God was an…offensive skill!

Offensive skills had their proficiency differentiated into seven levels—Basics, Familiarized Proficiency, Exemplary Mastery, Dominating Refinement, Crest of Perfection, Bold New World, and Arhat Oversoul!

Shi Xiaobai’s Massage Technique of God had only reached the second level of ‘Familiarized Proficiency’!

If he reached the seventh level of ‘Arhat Oversoul’, he could even mold diamond, not to mention metal!

However, the current reality was that Shi Xiaobai’s Massage Technique of God was only at the ‘Familiarized Proficiency’ level. He could not effect any changes to his body.

However, Shi Xiaobai had still used the Massage Technique of God on himself when faced with the danger of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’. It was not because he was making a desperate attempt but that Shi Xiaobai had discovered that the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’ was rapidly destroying his bodily functions. His physical toughness was also decreasing!

In other words, Shi Xiaobai’s body was becoming extremely weak and feeble due to the permeation of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’. Even a gentle breeze could rip his skin open. it was like metal that had been melted into liquid metal!

When faced with that, the Massage Technique of God was like fish meeting water. It was finally able to showcase its ‘divine power’!

Shi Xiaobai used the Massage Technique of God to massage his entire body and attempted to cleanse the toxicity of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’. However, it was already deeply infused in his bone marrow. An external application like Massage Technique of God could only clear the toxicity up to a certain extent but it would also simultaneously result in ‘destruction and failure’. Possible outcomes ranged from crippling to death.

Soft clay was easier to mold so they could be pressed in any way one wanted. However, Shi Xiaobai discovered that his body was not even comparable to soft clay.It was at best just sludge. Not only was it unpliable, pressing on sludge only made it mushier.

Shi Xiaobai felt helpless. He could only restrict the wanton destruction of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’ without affecting his physical condition. After lots of hard work, Shi Xiaobai finally managed to use the Massage Technique of God to temporarily delay the spreading of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’. It was like freezing a roaring river into a frozen river.

However, it was only temporary. The rapidly flowing river would be striking with all its might onto the frozen surface. The ‘intensity’ of the poison was slowly ‘melting’ the repressive effects of the Massage Technique of God!

In less than ten minutes, the Massage Technique of God would lose its effects!

Even the Massage Technique of God could only extend Shi Xiaobai’s life from one minute to ten minutes. It was obvious how horrifying the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’ was!

However, Shi Xiaobai did not give up. He slumped down on the ground and began to rack his brains.

What other methods did he have to resolve the crisis?

What other means did he have to resist the wanton destruction of the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’?

Shi Xiaobai closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Ideas flashed across his mind. He considered and rejected one idea after another…

He would absolutely not give up until the final moment. He would not feel despair until the final second!

No! Even at the last second, he would not feel despair!

Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai, who was deep in thought, felt a warm feeling coming from the left part of his abdomen!

This sudden warmth was extremely obvious and clear under the coldness that the ‘Holy Tree Sin Poison’ made his body feel!

Shi Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes and probed the left part of his abdomen. He realized that it was not a mistake. The other parts of his body were emitting a bone-chilling coldness but only that spot was extremely warm.

Shi Xiaobai hurriedly pulled his clothes up and took a look.

He was surprised that despite his body turning black, there was a portion around the left part of his abdomen that remained a milky-white, ruddy color!

The outline of the milky-white skin resembled an important organ in a person’s body.

It was…the stomach!?
