Exploding God

110.22 units/hour!

This is Lu Ze's true star source conversion power, a terrifying speed a hundred times that of ordinary people!

For cultivators, what matters is not how much star source power you perceive, but how much you leave behind.

It can be said that Lu Ze, who possesses the "Burning Star Battle Chapter", is a walking star source vortex. His instantaneous burst of power and terrifying recovery ability make it impossible to judge Lu Ze's strength by common sense.

However, this Star Source Conversion Power, which was enough to shock countless people, did not stir up the slightest ripple in Lu Ze's heart.

[Conclusion 2: The current "Burning Star Battle Chapter" is in the early stage of the first phase—the Star Source Power accumulation period. Attack moves cannot be activated yet. Before reaching the Storm Realm, the focus should be on nurturing the Phoenix Flame.]

[Conclusion 3: The Star Source Clock can pause for 0.4 seconds each time, with the duration increasing based on its own rank. Currently, it consumes approximately 100 Star Source units per pause, and the interval between pauses is 50 times the pause duration.]

[Conclusion 4: The Star Source Clock possesses a force field that can be passively triggered to pause. The trigger distance is within 20 cm of the skin's absolute height. This will deplete cell vitality, consuming approximately 200 units of Star Source per trigger, with the interval being about 100 times the pause duration.]

In the biting wind, Lu Ze opened his eyes, gazing at the aircraft that flickered in and out of the night sky, and at the crescent moon that hung silently in the sky.

His two main reliances, at first glance, are the Star Origin Clock, a superpower that has already touched upon the rules of the world, and the ability to actively and passively stop time, which seems to make him absolutely invincible, but...

There are intervals between time stops.

If discovered by an enemy of a higher rank, one can devise a countermeasure after a few probes.

For example, continuous, overwhelming firepower.

For example, high-energy attacks similar to fusion.

These factors could render the brief pause ineffective.

Therefore, the Star Origin Clock is at most an auxiliary tool; the true core and the foundation of its power can only be the silent, burning flame of the phoenix.

He still harbored a slight doubt: did the transformation of the [Time Loop] into the [Star Source Clock] truly conform to the laws of this world?

If something unheard of in the next century happens to you and becomes a skill that is like a rule, then could it be understood that the long river of this world has undergone some unknown change because of the gentle flapping of your butterfly wings?

However, the principle of the strong ruling over the weak remains unchanged.

The most suitable path for me is to focus on practicing the "Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist" before stepping into the Eleventh Star Realm - Storm, and temper my consciousness and body together.

Since that's the case, then for now... let's step into the seventh realm, Strong Wind.

Lu Ze's eyes were indifferent.

Within the Star Origin Sea of ​​Consciousness, driven by willpower, the wisp of Phoenix Flame, as thin as a cow's hair, suddenly brightened. A ripple seemed to begin to stir within the unfathomable Star Origin Sea of ​​Consciousness, and the accumulated Star Origin Power gradually converged into a stream, gathering directly beneath the Phoenix Flame.

Then the crimson flame gently twisted, and the stream of star energy gathered seemed to be sucked in by a giant whale, pouring into the crimson flame.

In an instant, the red flames suddenly expanded to more than double their size, and waves of ripples surged upwards from the bottom up to the top of the flames.

The flame flickered and exploded.

The scattered rays of light pierced the void high above the Star Source Consciousness Sea like long arrows, eventually disappearing completely.

The space fell silent again, and the Star Source Clock seemed to freeze for a fleeting moment.

tick...

In the deep sea of ​​consciousness, a vast expanse of fiery clouds suddenly appeared, dazzlingly red.

The next second, a red flame phantom appeared deep within Lu Ze's pupils, and an invisible wave of energy emanated from his body and spread in all directions.

The scene that once bloomed beneath the reconnaissance tower has reappeared. With each advancement of the Phoenix, there is a moment of absolute defense, which is the domineering nature of the top-tier techniques of the Tower of Mist.

At this moment, Lu Ze "heard" the series of popping sounds spreading from his sea of ​​consciousness throughout his body, like the crisp sound of sesame seeds blooming. All the cells in his body seemed exhausted at this moment, yet they all conveyed a feeling of pleasure...

At this moment, Lu Ze calmly stepped into the Seven Stars·Strong Wind Realm, bringing with him a terrifying conversion rate of 120.24 units/hour.

Not only did the 1176 units of star power that had surged out earlier return completely, but it also brought a sense of "hunger".

Originally, after the star source energy in the body reaches its limit, the star source energy would overflow again after being absorbed into the body, but at this moment it is captured by the body halfway.

1177...

1178...

This process will continue naturally until the Star Source Power is fully charged to 1440.

Lu Ze opened his clasped hands, stood up, and the aura emanating from his body disappeared, replaced by a biting night wind that once again enveloped the rooftop.

He walked to the edge of the rooftop railing as if taking a stroll, nimbly vaulted over with one hand, and stood on the outermost low wall of the building. Looking down, he saw a height of more than 240 meters. However, despite the fierce wind, he stood as still as a steel rod.

Lu Ze turned around, his back to the hundred-meter-high sky. He gently lifted himself up onto his tiptoes, his face calm, and then...

It's falling vertically!!

That graceful posture is as relaxed and natural as a diver gently jumping into the water from a three-meter springboard.

Snapped!

Smoke and dust suddenly rose.

Lu Ze bent his palms forward and pressed them down, his ten fingers precisely gripping the edge of the 60th-floor balcony. The calm face of the young man was reflected in the old corridor window.

A smile curved his lips.

As his hands loosened and his body plummeted again, he clenched his fists forward once more.

Snapped!

The powerful arm strength brought Lu Ze to a sudden stop again, leaving him hanging outside the 59th floor.

Release, press, hover...

The repetitive motion of the machine brings a breathtaking beauty of power.

Uniform speed, constant.

One layer per half second...

Despite a vertical drop of over 240 meters, Lu Ze demonstrated a terrifying descent that had never been seen in textbooks in just thirty seconds.

With the final release, he finally cleared the last six meters and landed straight down.

After clapping his hands, Lu Ze acted as if nothing had happened, casually strolling home with one hand in his pocket.

Upon reaching the fourth-floor platform, the sign for "Brilliant Repair Shop" was still lit, but instead of mechanical equipment, the area in front of the shop was filled with small, low tables...

Dozens of customers crowded the area in front of the store.

Three muscular men in overalls skillfully moved through the crowd carrying iron trays, occasionally distributing skewers of flatbread, meat, beef tendon, and chives.

The atmosphere around the low table was lively and cheerful.

This is... a barbecue stand?

Lu Ze rested one hand on the escalator, staring in astonishment at the small blackboard hanging under the colorful machine repair shop sign, on which the words "[Old Tang Barbecue]" were written crookedly in colored chalk.

He could swear that in his previous life, until Tang Hui died heroically, he had never seen this machine repair shop also run a barbecue business!

Is this also considered part of the changes to the world line?

If that's the case, then that would be truly...

This is such a pleasant surprise.

What about Tang Hui?

Lu Ze keenly spotted a wisp of unusual white smoke at the edge of his field of vision and turned his gaze in that direction.

On the stone pillar at the edge of the road, there was a middle-aged man with a stubble-covered face, wearing overalls similar to those worn by Mario, revealing his muscular physique, and looking melancholy.

He raised his hand, brought the cigarette holder to his lips, and took a deep drag.

In an instant! The half-smoked cigarette burned to ashes.

Tang Hui squinted his eyes in a daze, his body shuddered, and his eyes rolled back slightly.

This state lasted for five seconds before Tang Hui took a second puff. As a result, Lu Ze happened to witness the spectacular sight of the middle-aged man puffing smoke from his ears and nose after putting a spark into the cigarette holder.

Tang Hui was shaking all over as if he were having an epileptic seizure, and it seemed like he would faint at any moment.

"Tang Yingqi is here."

Tang Hui, who was enjoying releasing the smoke, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs became bloodshot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second, as the disheveled middle-aged man took a deep breath, a spectacular scene unfolded...

The smoke, which had already spread more than 1 meter, was forcibly sucked back in!

"Uncle Tang has amazing lung capacity!"

Lu Ze gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"You brat!"

With a roar from Tang Hui, the smoke that had been drawn back in for the second time finally erupted.

White mist spewed from every crevice of that weathered face, coalescing into waves that spread in all directions.

"The boss is awesome!"

The assistant number one, who was grilling skewers inside the shop, and the assistant number two, who was counting iron skewers at the door, looked up at the same time and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Tang's move is so domineering!" The customers eating skewers all cheered.

"Awesome! Awesome!"

"This is amazing! No doubt about it, the boss's skills are superb!"

A dozen or so glasses of beer were raised at Tang Hui at the same time—what a scene!

Tang Hui could feel his biceps, triceps, pectoral muscles, and facial muscles twitching uncontrollably...
