Chapter 243: Rampaging Transformation!
Mu Chuan stepped into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, gazing at the vast expanse of white emptiness that surrounded him. This unparalleled tranquility settled his mind like never before.
After all he had experienced, his mindset had undergone profound changes.
The importance of strength needed no further elaboration.
His choice to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stemmed from a new understanding he had gained—especially regarding his evolving forms.
When he faced Frieza, it was merely a trial run in his view. While the Saiyan bloodline possessed immense power and granted terrifying boosts with each transformation, the wild and violent nature within these forms was undeniable.
To a certain extent, these transformations relied on exhausting one's latent potential.
Super Saiyan transformations still remained in the realm of mortals. However, Ultra Instinct, a form based on the power of destruction, had evolved into a state that transcended mortal bounds.
Although it hadn't fully entered the domain of the Gods of Destruction, it undeniably stepped into the realm of gods.
Compared to the Super Saiyan God transformation, this form was far stronger.
But...
Mu Chuan knew full well that when he eventually faced beings from other universes, his enemies would no longer be limited to the strong individuals of his universe. To exaggerate, at times, his opponents could even be Gods of Destruction or other divine beings.
Anything was possible.
Thus, he could not allow himself to fall into passivity.
Ultra Instinct was still incomplete and required further development.
"To fully master the Perfect Ultra Instinct, I'll need to refine it thoroughly. In that state, the combat power is undeniably extraordinary, but it comes at a steep cost—severe energy consumption."
"In an all-out battle, I can only sustain it for about 30 minutes."
"That's a glaring flaw!"
"Not only do I need to seize this opportunity to perfect Ultra Instinct, but I also need to enhance my stamina."
Understanding his shortcomings, Mu Chuan had already planned out his training regimen upon entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Maintain his optimal state first, then gradually refine and perfect it!
Mu Chuan stood firm, slightly clenching his fists. The next second, his entire body began to surge with waves of purple lightning, releasing an oppressive aura that quickly filled the space.
In an instant, his entire body became enveloped in purple electricity and fiery energy.
The terrifying aura surged forth!
And it was far from over. As his power grew more ferocious, the veins on his face began to bulge, making him appear in excruciating pain.
A few seconds later...
His hair started to grow longer, reaching the length of a Super Saiyan 4 form. However, unlike Super Saiyan 4, there was a stark difference in the color of his hair.
While Super Saiyan 4 had black hair and a body covered with dominant red fur exuding wildness, Mu Chuan's hair turned purple. His body remained largely unchanged, but his overwhelming aura was vastly different—an intense destructive force surrounded him.
His eyebrows grew lighter, giving him a fierce and menacing appearance.
Once he assumed this form, the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber began trembling. From a distance, black holes began appearing sporadically, signifying the imminent collapse of the chamber's space.
Even though the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was isolated from the outside world, it couldn't completely suppress the ferocity of his power.

The Lookout.
The moment Mu Chuan returned to Earth and entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Mr. Popo and the others, though unaware of the reason, waited patiently outside.
However...
They soon felt a violent tremor.
The entire Lookout seemed on the verge of destruction.
The vibrations were shockingly intense, and the chamber's door began to sprout countless black holes, offering a clear view of the chaos within the chamber.
Terrifying energy erupted from inside.
"This... is this Mu Chuan?"
"It's absurd. It's terrifying! Just by relying on his energy alone, he's pierced through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and even opened a direct passage."
"What kind of power is this?"
Neither Dr. Bellabe nor Mr. Popo could contain their shock. After just a short period of absence, Mu Chuan had grown unimaginably powerful.
They had always known he was formidable.
But only by witnessing it firsthand could they truly grasp the extent of his power.

On the Lookout stood not only them but also many artificial warriors. These artificial warriors were immensely strong. Even now, placed among the universe's ranks, they could dominate as sovereign powers.
Originally, these warriors were exceedingly arrogant.
Even though they knew Saiyans were strong, they considered themselves to be no weaker. But just now, they felt the suffocating pressure of Mu Chuan's energy.
It paralyzed them on the spot!
The terrifying force continued to climb, growing more ferocious by the second.
This left them utterly dumbfounded.
"What kind of power is this?" one artificial warrior, bearing the label "178," muttered in disbelief. A newly developed artificial being, he possessed the ability to mimic and learn, alongside an infinite energy source.
Because of this, his combat power was immensely high, ranking among the top even among artificial warriors.
His learning abilities allowed him to master numerous powerful techniques, provided he had enough time.
And his infinite energy was his ultimate trump card.
Yet now...
Feeling the overwhelming power, even he experienced a flicker of despair.
Was such strength even achievable by mortals?
Even he dared not challenge it. The sheer might of the power was too overwhelming—even infinite energy seemed insignificant before it.
Once proud and arrogant, the artificial warriors were now thoroughly humbled, realizing the truth in the phrase "there's always someone stronger."

Mu Chuan, unaware of how his unintentional display had averted numerous future threats, focused on his training. With Ultra Instinct activated, his power had indeed increased significantly.
However, he wasn't planning to revert to his base form.
Instead, he intended to maintain this state. Not only would this help him control his power better, but it would also train his endurance.
Otherwise, his peak combat power would last only 30 minutes.
For him, that was a glaring weakness. In battle, no one would give him ample time to rest and recover. Thus, he needed to identify and rectify this flaw as quickly as possible.
Taking advantage of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's unique environment, he decided to spend extended periods in this state. By doing so, he aimed to fully adapt to and master the form, eventually perfecting it.

As he gradually stabilized his energy...
The black holes in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber slowly began to dissipate.
