244: Chapter 244 A Million-Dollar Fortune, the System's Ultimate Choice

"Boom——!"

The Great Xia military's highest-grade supersonic transport aircraft, like a silver sword, ruthlessly tore through the thick clouds.

The smoke and widespread devastation of Kyoto were left completely behind. The fighter jet was flying crazily towards the far north of Great Xia at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Inside the cabin, on the spacious leather seat, Jiang Feng was sprawled out, snoring thunderously. After experiencing a life-and-death battle, the fat man's nerves relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Opposite him, Lin Qinghan sat quietly.

Her long hair, which had turned pure white due to overdrawing her life force, draped softly over her shoulders. She lowered her head, wiping a frost-covered longsword newly issued by the military with a pristine white cloth.

Her stunningly beautiful face revealed a sense of calm and coldness after experiencing a bloody battle.

By the window, Su Chen sat quietly, eyes closed to rest. With the Kyoto battle finally over, the extreme Battle Intent that had been tightly wound at every moment finally receded like a tide.

However, the moment the killing intent dissipated!

"Hiss..." Su Chen's brows furrowed sharply, and a deeply suppressed muffled groan escaped from the depths of his throat.

Pain! An indescribable, tearing, excruciating pain! Without any warning, it exploded from deep within his right eye!

It felt as if thousands of red-hot steel needles had been cruelly and mercilessly thrust into his optic nerves, then were churning wildly inside!

Su Chen opened his eyes abruptly. The scene of the cabin before him instantly became extremely distorted!

Double images, blurriness, the world spinning. The edges of his vision were even covered by a faint blood-red shadow. A stinging, needle-like pain radiated from the corners of his eyes.

"The Mangekyo backlash has finally arrived." Su Chen gritted his teeth tightly, a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

This was the inevitable price for forcibly activating [Amaterasu]!

The high-dimensional Yin Release Mental Energy was simply too overbearing. Even though he had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm and his Physical Body could be called perfect, the optic nerves and brain of a Mortal still could not withstand the load of this Divine-Grade ocular technique for long!

In Kyoto, he had forcibly maintained Amaterasu for three full days and nights!

If not for the vast Qi and blood of the Grandmaster Realm barely holding on, if it were an ordinary person, their eyeballs would have burst the very first second they released Amaterasu!

"I cannot use the Mangekyo without restraint anymore." Su Chen closed his eyes, making an extremely calm assessment in his heart.

If he continued to force it open without regard for the consequences, going blind would only be a matter of time. Even his brain would completely collapse into a puddle of mush because it could not bear this terrifying Mental Energy!

"Are you alright?"

Opposite him, Lin Qinghan keenly noticed Su Chen's momentarily chaotic breathing. She stopped wiping her sword, a hint of nervousness flashing in her cold, clear eyes. "Did the injury in your right eye flare up again?"

"It's nothing." Su Chen did not open his eyes, his tone extremely flat. "Just physical exhaustion; it will be fine after a rest."

Hearing Su Chen say this, Lin Qinghan bit her lip slightly, not asking any more questions, though the heartache in her eyes could not be concealed.

Su Chen ignored the sounds from the outside world. He sank all his focus completely into the depths of his mind.

There, the virtual panel of the [myriad worlds origin extraction system] was emitting an unprecedented, dazzling light!

That was the ultimate settlement, belonging solely to the victor!

"Beep!"

"Kyoto battle settlement complete!"

"Killed the conceptual-level Abyss taboo creature [Undead Blood Beast], gained +500,000 origin points!"

"Wiped out one hundred Grandmaster death squads of the Wang family, gained +150,000 origin points!"

"Destroyed the Abyss Cult secret base, devoured all high-dimensional extraction fluids, gained +600,000 origin points!"

The lines of cold, mechanical notification sounds, heard by Su Chen at this moment, were like the most wonderful symphony in the world!

Su Chen's breathing could not help but become heavy for a moment.

His gaze was locked tightly on the balance bar at the very bottom of the System panel. There, a long string of numbers, flashing with brilliant golden light, was jumping crazily!

Finally, the numbers froze firmly!

[Current origin points balance: 1,250,000 points!]

One million two hundred and fifty thousand!!!

Looking at this seven-figure fortune, even with Su Chen's calm and indifferent Heart-Nature, his heart could not help but beat fiercely twice.

Under the illumination of this million-point fortune, the top-tier options in the System mall, which were originally in a gray locked state, erupted with dazzling golden light that could blind a person at this moment!

Permissions, fully unlocked!

Su Chen's gaze swept directly to the very top of the System panel. There, two options were the most dazzling, exuding a deadly temptation that one simply could not refuse.

The first option: [Susanoo (First Form/Skeletal Frame)]! Exchange price: 1,000,000 origin points!

The second option: [Immortal Body (Elementary)]! Exchange price: 1,000,000 origin points!

Looking at the four characters "Susanoo", a flash of extremely intense, fanatical light shone in Su Chen's eyes.

As long as he moved his mind now and threw the origin points down.

He could immediately unlock the most terrifying absolute defense in the Hokage world! Transform into a Chakra demon god dozens of meters tall! Whatever Martial King, whatever Great Grandmaster, in front of Susanoo, they were all ants to be crushed underfoot!

"Exchange Susanoo..." Su Chen muttered to himself in his heart.

However, at the very moment this extremely tempting thought just arose! "Hiss——"

Deep within the optic nerves of his right eye, another tearing, excruciating pain that felt like it was going to split his brain apart surged forth!

This intense pain was like a basin of ice water at minus one hundred degrees. It instantly extinguished all the fanaticism and impulse in Su Chen's heart!

Su Chen gritted his teeth hard, and within a thousandth of a second, his brain regained absolute calmness and rationality.

"No. I absolutely cannot activate Susanoo now."

Su Chen forcibly moved his gaze away from the [Susanoo] option.

He was very clear about his fatal weakness!

The Grandmaster Realm Physical Body of this high-martial world was indeed very strong. Bones like steel, Qi and blood like dragons.

But! This was still just a Mortal body! It lacked "absolute vitality and recovery ability"!

Merely activating Amaterasu with one right eye had already caused severe damage to his vision, with his body on the verge of collapse. What was Susanoo? It was the ultimate killing weapon that required massive consumption of ocular power and Chakra simultaneously!

Without a body powerful to the point of perversion to serve as a "container", forcibly activating Susanoo?

That was not killing the enemy. That was suicide!

Once forcibly activated, the massive load would instantly drain all his vitality! Before the enemy died, his own Physical Body would first collapse into a puddle of mush!

"Only by staying alive can one deal damage."

Su Chen's eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year black ice.

In the face of absolute temptation, he displayed an extreme rationality that ordinary people could never reach! He did not hesitate at all, completely suppressing the urge to activate the Gundam.

His gaze locked onto the second option!

The ultimate Bloodline of the Senju Clan from the Hokage world! The absolute nemesis of all ocular technique backlash! The perfect container possessing perverted recovery ability and massive Chakra—[Immortal Body]!

"System."

Su Chen issued the command in his mind, extremely decisively, without any hesitation.

"Exchange it for me! [Immortal Body (Elementary)]!!!"

The moment the words fell.

"Beep!"

"Command confirmed!"

"Deducting one million origin points!"

The System's highly penetrating mechanical voice exploded in Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after, deep within Su Chen's body, a terrifying power, so vast that it could not be described in words, was about to explode!
