Chapter 438: Essence Spirit and Neutron Star Combat Body
Chapter 438: Essence Spirit and Neutron Star Combat Body
The primordial vortex was boundless, endlessly swallowing and spewing out the surrounding primordial energy streams.
The Celestial Demons and Celestial Immortals were incredibly patient, silently waiting without any idle chatter or betting.
They were all beings with infinite lifespans, having lived for countless tens of thousands of years.
Their minds were like solid rocks, unmoved by anything except the treasures within the Pan Gu Mystic Realm.
The Illusory Void Ship was inconspicuous among the numerous war artifacts.
Until a certain moment arrived.
"It's starting."
A voice whispered into Fang Xing's ear.
The Pan Gu Token appeared before him, floating and transforming into a stream of light that enveloped him.
And then...
The world changed!
...
"Is this... the Pan Gu Mystic Realm?"
Fang Xing looked up and could only see the chaotic energy streams. His current location should be the Chaos Mountain.
"Those summoned into the Pan Gu Mystic Realm will initially appear in the Chaos Mountains."
"The Chaos Mountains are vast and endless... the danger is minimal, but it's best to immediately find a place to seclude oneself and break through the Essence Spirit Realm, or the consequences could be dire."
Just as Fang Xing was pondering, a terrifying beast suddenly discovered him and rushed over.
This monster had eight legs and sixteen arms, with a bizarre appearance. It was the unique 'Primordial Beast' of the Pan Gu Mystic Realm!
The Primordial Beast saw Fang Xing and didn't hesitate to attack. Its sixteen arms slammed down.
"The most common danger in the Chaos Mountains—the Primordial Beast! This beast has low intelligence and only knows how to slaughter intruders... It's naturally born with the ability to comprehend the Primordial Law, at least reaching the fourth level of the 'Law Body' realm. Some even reach the fifth level of 'One Thought, Law Born'..."
"Even an Emperor's Son from the Mortal Realm would be in great danger if surrounded by Primordial Beasts. There's always a possibility of falling at any moment—many life-saving trump cards become ineffective within the Pan Gu Mystic Realm..."
Fang Xing's body instantly expanded, transforming into a thousand-meter-long black-red dragon. He pressed down with his dragon claws.
Whoosh!
Each of the sixteen arms seemed to be composed of the power of the Primordial Law, possessing an indescribable terrifying strength. They slammed onto the black-red dragon's scales but couldn't break through its defenses.
The black-red scales shone with starlight, as if a red giant star was expanding within.
Fang Xing pressed down with his claws, striking the abdomen of the Primordial Beast. His powerful physical strength erupted instantly.
"Roar!"
The Primordial Beast was knocked away, its abdomen revealing a bloody hole. However, it was fearless and continued to charge forward.
The two giant beasts fiercely entangled, causing the void to tremble and affecting countless mountains.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Fang Xing pressed down with his claws, striking the Primordial Beast's face, which was blurry and featureless.
The multi-armed and multi-legged Primordial Beast hesitated, and its body suddenly exploded, turning into numerous chaotic energy streams that dissipated.
"Damn... it took so much effort. If a few more came, I'd be in great danger... and there's no loot to be gained."
"This is also why explorers try to avoid conflicts with the Primordial Beasts... These beasts leave nothing behind when they die, not even a single piece of loot."
Fang Xing sighed, and his body shrank. "The Primordial Beasts have a strong sense of territory. After this one dies, there won't be another one for a while, making it a suitable place for seclusion."
He raised his will infinitely and arrived at the Illusion Layer, wanting to use teleportation to observe the entire Pan Gu Mystic Realm.
But the next moment, Fang Xing realized something was wrong.
"Unable to teleport out of the secret realm? This is as it should be... But the void within has been tampered with. Although I can teleport, the maximum distance is only tens of thousands of miles."
"What kind of void manipulation is this?"
Fang Xing was surprised.
Compared to this kind of weakening, directly sealing off the void fluctuations might be simpler.
...
Several days later.
Inside a cave mansion.
"It's time to begin..."
A black dragon coiled up, and Fang Xing muttered.
With the Law Perception reaching the third level, achieving the Essence Spirit Realm was just a thought away.
He had been delaying, first waiting for the Time Doctrine to advance and condense the Vermilion Dragon Essence Spirit.
Later, he was waiting for the Pan Gu Mystic Realm.
Now that everything was ready, he naturally broke through!
Boom!
With a thought, the Time Heart condensed, and countless 'Threads of Time' extended from it.
With the help of his Law Perception, Fang Xing easily drew upon the heaven and earth's primal energy, crossing the boundary between mortals and the Essence Spirit Realm!
The infinite heaven and earth's primal energy rioted, pouring down like a waterfall.
Fang Xing felt his spirit, energy, and soul condense into one, transforming into a 'seed' that was about to sprout in the primal energy's land.
"Vermilion Dragon Essence Spirit... condense!"
He quickly operated the 'Vermilion Dragon Essence Spirit Law' from the Blue and White Scroll, and the Vermilion Dragon's essence blood within him was immediately drawn, injected into the 'seed'.
In a daze, Fang Xing seemed to see the Vermilion Dragon again, swimming through the infinite starry river, manipulating stars, with its human-faced serpent body.
The power of time descended, and a strange Essence Spirit appeared.
It was like a miniature Vermilion Dragon, with crimson scales, a human-faced dragon body, and a single eye.
Vermilion Dragon Essence Spirit - Achievement!
As soon as the Vermilion Dragon Essence Spirit was born, it seemed to swim in the river of time, allowing Fang Xing to clearly perceive the 'Time Law'!
"Is this the Essence Spirit of this world?"
Once my Primordial Spirit formed, my understanding of other Laws at least doubled... But as for the Time Law, it's more like a tenfold increase in clarity!"
Fang Xing felt like his previous self was a fool, as if he had been a blind man trying to understand the Time Doctrine, groping in the dark.
If he could go back in time fifty years, he might have directly perfected the Time Doctrine!
Vermilion Dragon's Essence Spirit transformed into a streak of crimson light and entered the body of the thousand-meter-long Black-Red Dragon.
"My Essence Power..."
Fang Xing opened his eyes and sensed his own Essence Power.
During these fifty years, he had naturally already cultivated the Immortal Cultivation Method to success, and now, with his Primordial Spirit breakthrough, he still possessed Immortal-grade Essence Power.
"But the total amount of Essence Power at the first level of the Essence Spirit Realm is at least a hundred times that of the ninth level of the Mortal Realm!"
"The quality of Essence Power is also the same. Although they are both Immortal-grade, the quality of Immortal-grade Essence Power in the Essence Spirit Realm is at least ten times that of the Mortal Realm!"
"With my current strength, if I encounter the Primordial Beast from before, I can crush it with a single claw. Unless it's a Primordial Beast leader with an innate fifth level of Primordial Law, it might require a bit more effort..."
Not only Fang Xing, but all the Emperor's Sons, except for those unfortunate ones who were immediately swarmed by countless Primordial Beasts upon entering, would definitely break through to the Essence Spirit Realm first, resulting in a significant surge in strength.
"But... the extent of my improvement will be even more terrifying than the Emperor's Sons."
Fang Xing looked at his attribute panel, his gaze falling on the 'Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique'.
"Previously, this secret technique couldn't be advanced due to the restrictions of my cultivation realm... But now..."
Thump!
Thump!
The dull sound of a heartbeat reverberated, and the scales on the thousand-meter-long Black-Red Dragon suddenly erupted with terrifying light and heat, as if it had transformed into a red supergiant in that instant.
"Out!"
Fang Xing crushed a Void Treasure, which contained the previous reward—ninety-nine drops of Soul Core Elixir!
No!
In terms of quantity, there were even more than the ninety-nine drops he had specifically exchanged and stored... It would be more than that!
On the attribute panel, the rune representing the Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique became blurry:
【Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique: Master → Grandmaster!】
Buzz!
In an instant, the thousand-meter-long Black-Red Dragon instantly turned into dust!
Upon closer inspection, each speck of dust was a star moving along a specific orbit!
"The Grandmaster level of the Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique requires the forging of a 'Neutron Star Battle Body'!"
"The so-called 'Neutron Star' is a type of celestial body with extremely high mass and density... to a terrifying degree!"
Fang Xing, in his Primordial Spirit form, detached himself from his body, allowing him to observe his own physical advancement with a colder gaze.
'No wonder I couldn't break through to the Neutron Star Battle Body before reaching the Essence Spirit Realm... My body instantly dispersed into the most basic particles... If it weren't for my Primordial Spirit, I would have died...'
'Now... it's time for compression! Compress everything!'
Fang Xing's Primordial Spirit both merged and detached, watching as his basic particles frantically absorbed the Soul Core Elixir, then continuously reorganized and compressed... transforming into a most basic 'Neutron Star Structure'!
Using this Neutron Star structure as a foundation, he rapidly replicated it throughout his entire body!
During this process, over a hundred drops of Soul Core Elixir were consumed.
Huff!
When everything was over, within the Cave Mansion, the thousand-meter-long Black-Red Dragon had disappeared without a trace.
In its place was a black-red dragon the size of a palm!
Although it was tiny, each scale was incredibly precise, emitting a diamond-like luster.
"I'm so small! How is my true body only the size of a palm now?"
"Although it's a concentrated essence, a palm-sized dragon is not a dragon but a worm or an eel..."
Fang Xing was speechless, not knowing where to begin his complaints.
But after carefully sensing his new body, a fresh realization came to him: "So powerful! I'm so strong now!"
If the previous thousand-meter-long dragon body was like charcoal, then this palm-sized dragon body was like a diamond!
Concentrated to the extreme! Hard as a diamond!
"With my current strength, I can withstand an Imperial Armament with my bare hands. Although I might still break my defense, I won't be as miserable as last time."
"If I encounter Shi Qing again, I can definitely crush her with one hand... Er, I can't crush her, but I can headbutt her to death! If she hasn't advanced to the Essence Spirit Realm yet..."
Fang Xing estimated that his current strength was probably comparable to an Emperor's Son who had advanced to the ninth level of the Essence Spirit Realm!
And this was not his limit!
Because the 'Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique' had already been deduced to the 'Black Hole Rank'!
This was equivalent to the realm of a Supreme Deity!
'Once I reach the Black Hole Rank, I'll be able to withstand an Imperial Armament with my bare hands... No wonder the Black Hole Rank is said to be able to rival a Law Sovereign, which is the Celestial Immortal Realm.'
If one could withstand an Imperial Armament with their physical body, they could rival Celestial Immortals and Celestial Demons!
This was a path to achieving the Supreme Deity realm through the physical body!
"It's quite interesting... When I came to the Qingyuan Great World, I never thought about how to improve my physical body, but I kept encountering fortuitous encounters..."
"On the other hand, my path of understanding Laws has been full of setbacks... I hope the 'Dao Tablet' in the Ancient Deity Temple will give me some enlightenment..."
Today, there will be two more chapters.
