Multi-Gene

By the time he started focusing on the heaven grade technique, he had entirely forgotten about the matter with Flint.

"Seize the power between heaven and earth, purify the mortal body to divinity and overturn the Heavens."

"The heavens may boast nine layers of defenses, but all it takes is a single fist to break through them all!"

"Ancient Godly Might!!!"

A voice rumbled through his mind and David's entire being was shaken! Domineering! Arrogant!

Breaking the heavens with a single fist! The technique was simply too arrogant.

David eyes lit up at the statement of this technique. From what he could learn, it was a body forging technique that strengthens the Physique to a godly level.

At the Ultimum state of the technique, it even claimed one's strength would be able to break through the world's boundary, going through countless planets with the physical body alone.

David could not help hut be impressed. Not by the strength, but by the claim stated by the technique.

His body was incredibly strong. And would only increase once he activated the first star to the twelveth star. But even then, he had almost turned to mush by the pressure of space alone. But this technique claimed it would improve the human body to a godly level where it could withstand space.

Naturally, David didn't believe it could do what it claimed. Otherwise many continents including his own especially would definitely fight for a claim to this technique with how powerful it claimed to be.

"We will have to see about that." David muttered and he started breathing rhythmically to the breathing technique provided by the manual.

At first, nothing happened, there was no reaction and it seemed as though he was using a fake breathing tempo.

Although suspicious, he didn't relent and even practiced more vigorously.

In the next moment, his body buzzed and his entire body started to tremble incessantly.

"Buzz!"

His pores opened widely and his muscles reverberated strangely. The air around him suddenly started warp as a strange type of force was being gathered around him, entering into his body slowly.

His skin suddenly flushed red like a shrimp on fire and David's face distorted immediately. A massive amount of pain clouded his entire being as it fket as though his flesh, bones, tissue and muscles were been ripped apart slowly by millions of ant.

Sweat dropped down his forehead profusely and he was threatened to give up, but what kind of person was David.

He held on and continued according to the breathing pattern. The pain was almost as painful as when his dragon body was taking root within his DNA.

Roughly an hour later, the ground was entirely been soaked in sweat. Seeing as he was reaching his limits, David stopped practicing the technique and he slumped backwards to ground from his cross legged position.

Black liquid that stunk so badly were expelled out from his pores. 

Huu! Huu! Huu! 

David panted heavily, his entire body crimson with his veins crawling and twisting over his skin like multitudes of large snakes on his skin. 

After a few seconds, he seem to have recovered as the pain reduced. He helped himself up the ground and as be looked at his small worlds, he was immediately shocked. 

The once luxurious small world with lush grasses almost seem like a deserted land! The once rich and grown trees and grasses had wilted as though its life force had been sucked by some power. 

The first thought that popped up in his mind was Flint. "Flint!"

His voice rumbled as he shouted angrily, spreading his divine sense, he fixed his gaze at a particular direction. 

This time, Flint didn't hide, instead it's figure instantly expanded and it transformed from a cute little beast to a terrifying three meters wide monstrosity, glaring at David intently as though it had been wrong. 

It was basically saying 'Although I might have eaten your herbs, and I'm at fault, don't blame me for things I didn't do!'

David seem to have understood, he waved Flint off and didn't seem to have seen Flint's transformation as his thoughts was preoccupied. 

"If it wasn't Flint, could it be the technique." David then recalled the a phrase in the manual. 

"Seize the power between heaven and earth, purify the mortal body to divinity and overturn the Heavens." 

His expression darkened slightly. Using the power between heaven and earth to purify one's body, wasn't this basically using the world's power to purify the body?

It was no wonder his small world was wilting and its strength dwindling. If he continued, he would have sucked the small world dry and wouldn't even know by the time he killed the world. 

He could only hope it recovered after a while. But seizing the energies between heaven and earth was basically stealing. And from what he knew, stealing from the heavens and earth was forbidden basically all Mental art practitioners knew about this. 

As David was hesitating if he should continue, his bodily pain and soreness subsided as though been flushed by a tide of ocean. 

David frowned deeply. He seem to have sensed something odd about his body. Clenching his hand to a fist softly. 

The wind around his fist seem to have been knocked out and a thunder clap resounded, forming a meter hurricane around his fist, which faded after a few seconds. 

David was stunned speechless. "T-this_" 

He could only achieve this state of strength one he activates first star, doubling his strength immediately, but this time he hadn't activated any technique at all but he was still able to achieve forming hurricane with the clench of one fist. 

Doesn't this mean his strength had doubled in an instant? "Too strong!"

David gulped audibly. It seems the heaven grade technique was no joke. David eyes lit up and he was ecstatic. He didn't expect the technique to be so strong. 

He quickly sat cross legged and was about to practice the technique again when he remembered the repercussion of the technique. His small world had been sucked dry of almost a quarter of its world energy. If he continued, there was a certain risk it would dye off.. He needed to go back to the sacred domain.
