Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 719 Breakthrough—Second Realm of the Universe! (Seeking monthly votes)

A large amount of information emerged, including the condensation method given by the Stream Abyss Master, which consisted of 24 parts.

It was created based on people who have awakened different abilities.

The second realm of the universe is called the Star Realm, also known as the Star Control Realm!

Most people call it the Star Realm, because it's simple and easy to remember.

It means to become the master of a planet!

Among humans, many martial artists at the Star Realm level are qualified to purchase life-bearing planets and become nominal owners and controllers.

To break through to the Star Realm, one needs to condense one's own Origin Core.

The path of martial arts begins with training the flesh, tendons, skin, bones, internal organs, marrow, blood, energy channels, and even the ability to fly...

Step by step, you can train every part of your body.

By pushing the body to its limits, and by breaking through genetic constraints at each stage of the process.

This makes the absorption of source energy more efficient, accelerates the body's transformation, and allows it to continuously evolve!

He has now opened up 108 acupoints and gathered 9 energy channels, which spread to every corner of his body.

A powerful surge of qi and blood flowed through his body, and his source energy permeated every cell.

After absorbing the source energy, they stimulate the body's cells. Although they continue to absorb the source energy, they seem to encounter obstacles and cannot become stronger.

An invisible shackle hindered his progress in evolution.

Only by condensing the source energy core and breaking the shackles can transformation take place.

Lynch browsed through the methods of nucleus condensation, which included 24 types, and he awakened three abilities of the metal element.

They quickly discovered the method for condensing nuclei, the "Origin of Gold."

A metallic source nucleus condenses.

A wealth of information emerged, including methods for condensing the source core.

Lynch quickly skimmed through it; he had already read it several times on his way back.

I've already memorized the contents!
Having now reviewed everything, he immediately began attempting to condense the Golden Source Core.

"Dong Dong!!"

Inside the silent martial arts room, the sound of a rapid heartbeat could be heard.

A surge of powerful and sharp energy erupted, merging with the blood and qi.

Accompanied by bursts of dazzling golden light, the nine energy meridians within his body became active.

108 acupoints are opened, and a vast amount of source energy surges in!
Lin Qi controlled the vast source energy, gathering it in his dantian through the source energy meridians!

A series of sharp edges emerged!
The source energy also transformed into a metallic form, and the source energy merged to form a golden vortex.

A large amount of source energy was swallowed by the vortex, and Lin Qi felt that the three source energy crystals he had swallowed were quickly devoured.

So he immediately took out three more source energy crystals, put them in his mouth, and continued to absorb the source energy within them.

After a golden vortex condensed in his dantian, his body's absorption capacity increased significantly.

The energy absorbed by the cells was all swallowed up by the golden vortex.

It's like a bottomless pit; any source of energy that enters the body will be absorbed.

Throughout the process, countless pores on Lynch's body opened, absorbing energy from the surrounding air in a frenzy.

"Hoohoo!!"

A whirlwind rapidly formed around his body, swirling around him and being absorbed into his body in wisps.

"The absorption rate is too fast!"

Lin Qi felt a chill run down his spine, following the instructions in "The Source of Gold".

The first step is to condense the golden vortex, which is a process of accumulation.

Different physical constitutions, different talents, and different sources of energy absorbed.

The higher one's talent, the more source energy they can absorb.

The stronger and harder the condensed source core, the better!

"Therefore, we need to absorb more!"

Lin Qi prepared a total of 80 source energy crystals this time, 30 more than the Red Emperor had said.

These extra 30 stones are enough for an ordinary Sky-Soaring Realm martial artist to condense two more Origin Veins.

Over time, more and more source energy crystals are absorbed.

6, 12, 24, 48...

Soon, after an unknown amount of time, all 50 source energy crystals were absorbed.

Lin Qi felt the golden vortex in his dantian expand, transforming into the shape of a black hole.

Even after 50 source energy crystals were absorbed, the limit was still not reached!
So he continued to invest in energy crystals.

60, 70, 79...

Several more days passed, until 79 pills had been absorbed.

"Buzz!!"

Lin Qi shuddered, and streams of power emanated from the golden vortex.

"We've reached our limit!"

A thought suddenly occurred to Lin Qi, and he knew that the golden vortex had reached its limit.

We can proceed to the next step!

Lin Qi roused himself; the final step was to compress the vast, ocean-like vortex into a solid source core.

This step is also the most dangerous one.

Many martial artists at the Sky Soaring Realm fail at this step.

If it fails, the vortex will explode, and the person involved will be severely injured, possibly even losing their life.

The more sophisticated the method of nucleus condensation, the higher the probability of success.

Among them, the 24 methods of core condensation given by the Stream Abyss Master are the safest.

Success rate as high as 99.99%
There are almost no cases of failure.

However, Lin Qi did not dare to be careless, after all, it concerned his own path in martial arts.

Therefore, he mobilized his mental energy to a high degree, and through continuous construction of Tianhai City, his control over mental energy has greatly improved.

The spiritual energy merged into the golden vortex, as if plunging into a bottomless sea.

Within it are surging, powerful energy waves.

He needs to compress them drastically.

A large amount of spiritual energy continued to flow in, and the golden vortex began to compress.

"Whoosh!!"

The golden vortex began to compress slightly, becoming heavy in the dantian area.

In an instant, my body began to feel heavy.

Lynch was unaffected and continued to compress the material.

The more you compress it, the more strenuous it feels!
"Buzz!!"

Suddenly his heart pounded violently, and streams of dark golden power surged forth, merging into the golden vortex.

With the infusion of new power, Lin Qi immediately felt the difference.

The entire compression process became much easier.

"Great, this will save time on compression."

Lynch continued to compress, and the golden vortex grew smaller and smaller.

I don't know how much time passed, but the compression reached its limit.

"Press it down again!"

Lynch felt that only the final step remained, so he frantically compressed the pressure.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, he felt a jolt, as if struck by lightning, and a powerful shock spread through him.

At the dantian, the space surrounding the golden vortex began to collapse and compress rapidly.

"boom!!"

A golden bead, about the size of a marble, gradually emerged from the dazzling golden mist.

This golden bead is as if it were cast from gold, with fine lines flowing across its surface. Each line contains the most masculine and powerful energy, fierce and sharp.

Step two complete!
Lin Qi was overjoyed; the most important step had now been completed smoothly without any setbacks.

It truly deserves to be called the most exquisite method of nucleus condensation.

It should be a method passed down from the nine supreme powers, and perhaps it has been perfected by the supreme beings.

Lynch adjusted his mindset; the second step was complete.

The next step is the final one!

The last step is not difficult; it just takes time!
"Buzz!"

The golden bead suddenly began to vibrate at a high frequency, and then burst out with dazzling golden light.

In the next instant, Lin Qi felt as if his entire body's meridians and acupoints were being swept by a torrent of scalding metal!

It was also accompanied by a sharp, stinging pain!

"Sigh~"

Lin Qi gasped, then gritted his teeth and frowned, enduring the pain with all his might.

He has undergone ten transformations and has been able to endure all kinds of pain.

He had already developed an iron will, so this little bit of pain was no match for him.

He guided the internal energy within him to polish the golden bead, and a large amount of golden light power circulated within his body.

A large number of the laws of metal also descended upon it.

The polishing process, aided by the power of laws, is much easier, and the resulting source core becomes stronger.

"Buzz!!"

As time goes by, the internal energy, like a sharp blade polishing a golden bead, causes fine cracks to appear on its surface.

But it was instantly filled and healed by metal particles!
After being constantly refined and polished by the laws of Qi, the original golden bead shone with dazzling light.

When the golden light faded, the golden bead had completely changed its appearance.

In Lin Qi's perception, a rhomboid crystal the size of a walnut with a surface radiating golden light appeared—the Origin of Gold Core!
"Buzz!"

Lin Qi was shocked when he saw this.

A surge of intense joy welled up inside me.

The condensation was finally successful!
He successfully condensed the Golden Source Core!

From this moment forward, he is a martial artist at the second level of the universe.

The next moment, Lin Qi trembled all over as a powerful golden light was released, merging into the nine source meridians of his body. It then radiated to every part of his body, even into every cell.

Then hundreds of billions of cells began to move violently and undergo transformation.

"Kaka!"

Lin Qi felt the shackles on his body being broken, and the irradiated cells began to transform.

His entire body began to evolve!
The golden light also entered his heart, and his Golden Body Primal Source also surged with more power, merging into all parts of his body!

Your body is undergoing a complete transformation!
"strength……"

Lin Qi felt that he was evolving. This transformation was greater than any of the previous eight realms he had broken through!

A dazzling golden light burst forth from his body!

"Buzz!"

An invisible sharpness was released from Lin Qi's body, turning the entire martial arts room into a golden sea.

"roar~"

Downstairs, Xiaotian, who was sleeping in the living room, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a series of low growls.

He sensed the intense power of the Law of Metal, its powerful sharpness making it feel a great danger.

This is the power that can kill it!
Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, who were sitting on the sofa, both looked up at the ceiling.

They all sensed a powerful aura, even though they were isolated by the martial arts room.

However, the leaked power still made them feel uneasy.

Lin Zhen exclaimed, "Xiao Qi is about to break through to the second realm of the universe!"

"As expected of the champion of the Deep Space Genius Competition, just the aura he exuded made us feel the danger!"

"Twenty days have passed now, and I don't know when I'll be able to get out!"

……

Time passed, and in the martial arts room
Lin Qi couldn't feel the passage of time; he only felt himself getting stronger.

The body is constantly evolving; this is a fundamental improvement.

Through continuous transformation, it sets itself apart from ordinary life forms!

In addition to flesh and blood, more and more energy organs are appearing in the body.

Heavenly Eye, Soul Core, Gold Source Core, Source Energy Vein!
The combination of flesh and energy causes a transformation in the genes of the bloodline.

The cells are also gradually transforming.

Power surged forth continuously, and Lin Qi enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger, which reminded him of ascension to immortality.

In the path of cultivation, no enjoyment or entertainment can compare to the pleasure that comes from cultivation and advancement.

I don't know how much time has passed.
Lin Qi felt the sensation of his body becoming stronger begin to dissipate, or return to calm.

The transformation is over, and everything is over.

He officially broke through to the second realm of the universe—the Star Realm!

[You have consumed 79 Source Energy Crystals, practiced the Core Condensation Technique—"Golden Source Core," absorbed a large amount of Source Energy, and successfully condensed a Source Core!]

[The source core has been condensed. Your physical body has begun to transform, your cells have begun to transform, your physique has been greatly improved, and your Qi and Blood value has increased by 30001.]

[You have successfully broken through to the second realm of the universe; template fusion rate +2%]

[Qi and Blood Value: 99999 → 13]

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Integration rate: 50% → 52%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the changes in the data on the golden panel and felt a surge of joy.

The improvement was even more powerful than he had imagined!

The 79 Source Energy Crystals directly resulted in a 30000-point increase in Qi and Blood.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not that much.

To break through to the third realm of the universe, his Qi and blood value needs to reach 100 million to be considered a breakthrough!
"Buzz!"

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying golden light burst forth from them, like sharp blades shooting out.

Looking around at the world, it has changed.

His body underwent a transformation, and the functions of all his five senses were enhanced.

With greatly enhanced vision, the world before my eyes is magnified, and I can clearly see dust in the corners and the fine texture of the metal walls.

In my ears, I could hear the whooshing sound of the air vents, and even the low-pitched sound waves.

And the subtle sounds of a heartbeat and blood flow.

The nose can detect more scents!
His senses became much stronger, a qualitative improvement.

He watched as the invisible energy in the air was absorbed into his body through his pores.

"I can feel that my body has improved tremendously in every aspect!"

"The curator is right. Breaking through to the second level of the universe is the real breakthrough to a higher realm!"

Lin Qi looked at himself in the mirror, exuding a terrifying aura.

His eyes blazed with golden light, unleashing a powerful pressure!

Just by looking at their aura, you can tell they are martial artists on a different level.

"I need to test just how strong I am now!"

Lin Qi turned on the virtual bracelet and logged into the virtual universe.

……

A moment later, on the spacious training ground.

Lin Qi, dressed in black and gold armor, stood on the alloy ground.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a blinding golden light, his body involuntarily floated into the air.

Lin Qi manipulated his body cells, breaking free from the constraints of gravity and levitting upwards.

"boom!!"

His body, enveloped in a powerful aura, flew through the air.

He moved like a golden lightning bolt, activating the "Thunder Escape Diagram".

It seemed to transform into lightning, slicing through the sky with lightning speed, unleashing bursts of sonic booms.

"Boom!"

Lin Qi smiled; his speed had indeed increased significantly.

"Deep Blue, I need to test my power!"

A tall, dark blue figure dressed in blue appeared, and the next second, in Lin Qi's eyes, a giant mountain 800 meters high and 5 kilometers long appeared!

Lin Qi remained suspended in the air, the golden light on his body dissipating as he fell towards the ground.

He stopped releasing his internal energy and source energy!
It relies on pure power!
His veins bulged all over his body, his blood and qi surged, his muscles tensed, and his blood and qi flowed through his body.

Power surged continuously, with billions of cells throughout the body exerting their strength simultaneously.

Each cell that has undergone transformation is like a miniature sun, bursting forth with fierce power.

All of it converged, like a nuclear bomb being released, and terrifying power was unleashed in an instant!

"Hoohoo!!"

"Bang!!"

As Lin Qi slammed his fist into the giant mountain, a deafening roar followed. The force penetrated deep into the mountain and then exploded!
With a deafening roar, the 800-meter-high and 5000-meter-long mountain shattered!

Countless pieces of gravel, large and small, flew everywhere, and clouds of dust buried the entire training ground!
"Hoohoo!!"

As the smoke dissipated, Lin Qi's figure slowly emerged from the rubble.

He shattered the entire mountain, greatly increasing his power.

The current mountain is several times larger than the one that was formed before!
Lin Qi looked at Shen Lan, and saw a large screen appear in front of Shen Lan, displaying a series of data: "6,000,000 kg!"

After seeing the data, Lin Qi nodded secretly and said:
"6000 tons of force!"

"Now, we can generate 6000 tons of force with just our strength!"

"This is far beyond that of an ordinary second-stage universe martial artist!"

"Deep Blue, what is the range of power levels within the Star Realm in the universe?"

The man in blue, Shen Lan, spoke up: "Based on the statistics compiled by the Deep Space Academy over hundreds of billions of years, we have gathered countless power levels at the Star Realm level!"

"At the very least, it needs to have a force of 1000 tons!"

"Even the weakest martial artist at the third level of the universe possesses a strength of 10000 tons!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "My current strength of 6000 tons has already surpassed that of most second-realm martial artists in the universe!"

"With the added boost from my current internal energy, I can unleash a ninefold increase in combat power, potentially resulting in a destructive force of 54000 tons!"

"No, that's not right. They've reached the second level of the universe. Many martial artists can now comprehend the power of laws!"

"Since everyone is at the same level, it's actually equivalent to returning to a 5x power boost!"

Lin Qi shook his head. Once you reach the second level of the universe realm, the advantage is not so obvious!

However, his combat power remains formidable!

Lin Qi nodded secretly. With his current combat strength, he should have no problem defeating a seasoned second-realm martial artist.

Many geniuses who awaken a single ability reach the second realm of the universe at their limit!
They have cultivated for thousands of years, and their combat strength is considerable, but it is still at the most ordinary level.

Lynch felt he should have no problem defeating someone like that.

Even if you awaken two abilities, it's not a problem.

As for galaxy-level geniuses, that level is beyond my ability to defeat.

"By the way, in addition to the improvement in physical fitness, my physique is also getting stronger after breaking through to the second realm of the universe."

Lin Qi felt the shockwave in his body as he exerted force.

A surge of vitality erupts within the body; the existence of the second realm of the universe greatly enhances healing abilities.

"Pfft~"

Lin Qi conjured a large spear, and without exerting force, used the sharp tip to painstakingly slice open his own arm.

A bloody wound appeared, but it healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It was completely healed in just a few seconds!
Lin Qi's eyes lit up: "Such a powerful healing ability!"

"No wonder the master said that martial artists at the second level of the universe can already regenerate severed arms!"

"Although it may take a lot of time, it is enough to demonstrate the powerful healing ability of martial artists!"

Lin Qi nodded secretly; he dared not attempt to sever an arm or pierce the heart!
However, since common sense says that the second realm of the universe has this ability, then it must really have this ability.
