Xiang Yu opened his eyes to find himself in a microscopic world, watching the most fundamental form of combat - cells battling against invading bacteria, each victory or defeat a matter of life and death despite the tiny scale.
Even at the smallest of scales, combat still existed and thrived.
The scene expanded outward. Ants swarmed to defend their colonies from predators, each tiny warrior driven by pure instinct to fight and survive.
The battlefield grew larger as wild beasts clashed in forests and plains, tooth and claw determining the victor.
The scope widened further. Beast clans engaged in territorial wars, their roars shaking mountains as they fought for dominance.
Cultivation sects rose and fell in spectacular battles, techniques that could split the heavens colliding.
Rivers of blood flowed endlessly - everywhere was combat.
Worlds burned as armies swept across their surfaces.
Entire planets cracked under the pressure, returning to cosmic dust.
Xiang Yu watched as solar systems became battlefields, their stars used as weapons in conflicts that spanned light-years.
Galaxies collided, billions of years of combat compressed into moments as he observed. The very concept strings that held the chaos together became strained as universes themselves went to war, each fighting for dominance and survival.
Multiverses ruptured like bubbles, infinite possibilities engaging in combat on scales that defied comprehension. Laws fought against laws, concepts battled concepts, the very idea of conflict spreading across all planes of existence.
Through it all, Xiang Yu stood as an observer, watching the eternal cycle of combat play out on every conceivable scale. From the smallest cellular struggle to the grandest cosmic war, he saw the single thread that connected them all - the fundamental drive to overcome, to survive, to emerge victorious, and even combat just for combat’s sake.
He felt it all.
As understanding dawned, all of this infinite conflict began to condense before him.
Every battle, every war, every struggle across all scales of existence compressed into a single point of pure combat essence. With a gentle motion, he closed his hand around it, the entirety of combat’s infinite expressions fitting perfectly within his palm.
He had transcended Combat.
Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"This is..."
He felt his energy beginning to rise.
He took advantage of the situation and teleported right next to the spirit veins.
He had already upgraded them to the sage realm the day before. He didn’t absorb the qi with his spiritual root as it was still in the celestial grade. He absorbed with his skin instead, just like beasts did.
This was extremely easy with his primordial level bloodline.
He grabbed branches of the five spirit veins and endlessly absorbed energy.
Two hours passed as he remained like this, just endlessly absorbing energy.
Even the spirit veins themselves were shocked by this.
Even though their reserves had practically no end, they still felt the immense strain as Xiang Yu’s absorption speed kept getting faster and faster. It wouldn’t be long before he could absorb more than they could produce in time - they were almost running dry.
After thirty more minutes, Xiang Yu finally relaxed and let go of the spirit veins.
