The latest data from two months ago.
"Promoted from Level 11 to Level 13 in just two months?"
Haiji Dao couldn't believe it: "Elder, how is this possible? No way."
Mokodo, however, interrupted him, shaking her head and saying, "It's still possible, Haiji."
He was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowing quickly. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He abruptly looked up, staring at Mokodo with an expression of disbelief.
"Elder, you don't mean to say..."
Mokodo said nothing.
"How is that possible? That's too bizarre, too incredible!"
Haiji Dao kept shaking his head, seemingly unwilling to believe it.
The surrounding people, Wu Na and the others, listened to the hushed conversation between the two, completely bewildered, not understanding what they had thought of. And just at this moment. A strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from beside them.
Everyone turned their heads sharply to look. They saw that the fluctuation originated from the huge purplish-red light cocoon beside them. At this moment, the light cocoon was enveloped by specks of fragmented silver light, and accompanied by the heartbeat-like sound within the light cocoon, waves of strange fluctuations continuously spread outwards.
"This is..."
Someone in the field was stunned. Every person among them was incredibly familiar with the source of this fluctuation. Haiji Dao, in particular, stared intently at the light cocoon. As if he had witnessed the most incredible scene in his life, he was completely frozen.
In the distance, many people were also attracted by this fluctuation. Their faces showed a hint of novelty, and they gathered around like spectators.
As more and more silver specks appeared around the cocoon, they gradually coalesced into a shape as brilliant as a galaxy.
And the number of galaxies increased.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
The surprise turned into shock, and finally into amazement. Mokodo, over ten meters tall with six arms outstretched, stared at the light cocoon without blinking, her six eyes filled with overflowing radiance. She spoke softly to Haiji Dao in a tone mixed with admiration, joy, and other complex emotions:
"You guessed right, Haiji. He really did comprehend the Thunder Law at Level Eleven. Tsk tsk tsk... It seems our Hundred Great star district is about to welcome a super abnormal monster whose talent far surpasses Anon of the Turing family, truly unprecedented and capable of shaking the starry sky..."
Haiji Dao's body tensed, his expression blank as he gazed at the purplish-red light cocoon surrounded by more than a enveloped by a dozen dazzling silver rivers. A dozen rule galaxies...
He was completely lost in thought. If one could get close to him, they would hear it. At this moment, softly muttered: "A rrule galaxy entering his body, a level 11 advancing to level 12... Is he truly only Level 11? To be able to comprehend the Thunder Law at level 11 and to slay a level 13 General-level Alien Beast... How is this possible...? How is this possible..."
Lu Sheng was currently in the Dream Universe. At this moment, his entire body was enveloped by extremely dense purple thunder pulp and crimson Stellar energy.
His condition was not good.
The red-giant form was the limit he could endure in his Martial God State. After he used the Law Power of Thunder, this delicate balance was immediately broken.
No one knew that Lu Sheng's red-giant form body collapsed even before the Level 13 General-level Alien Beast he struck. Fortunately, the 330,000 Immortal Cells of his Stellar Supreme Body held the last line of defense.
To be precise, it should be called the Immortal Martial Supreme Body. Because those Immortal Dao patterns, cultivated along the Golden Core patterns and inscribed within his bones and flesh during the cultivation of the Profound Spirit Treasure Record, also played a certain role. Making his martial body considerably tougher than a pure Stellar Supreme Body.
Lu Sheng only felt countless bolts of Thunder energy and the remaining Stellar energy from the red-giant form continuously pouring into his body. His martial body was repeatedly torn, destroyed, and reborn during this process. The cosmic energy summoned by the Thunder Law was simply too vast, and he had nowhere to release it, so he could only take it all in. Then his martial body was refined and reshaped again and again.
The patterns on the Immortal Martial Supreme Body grew rapidly, and a third type of pattern began to appear. Purple patterns representing Thunder. These three-colored divine patterns intertwined and grew within his bones, flesh, and marrow, and a completely new physique was rapidly forming.
In a daze, three enormous suns seemed to appear before Lu Sheng's eyes.
One was golden-red, emitting infinite light and infinite heat. The Stellar Dao. One was suffused with purple, filled with endless Thunder plasma, exuding a strong aura of destruction and devastation. And another emitted a soft, hazy white light, as if entirely carved from jade, giving off a dignified and peaceful Immortal demeanor.
The three suns revolved around each other, finally transforming into a three-colored tadpole-shaped symbol that quietly appeared on Lu Sheng's glabella and then quickly disappeared deep into his skin.
In the ethereal realm, a realization arose in Lu Sheng's heart. Due to the addition of the Thunder Law, his Immortal Martial Supreme Body plan seemed to have, by a strange coincidence, advanced significantly.
"What I should do now is break through!"
Lu Sheng quickly clarified his thoughts. Only by breaking through, breaking the shackles of his current cultivation, could he absorb the vast ocean-like energy into his body and resolve his current predicament.
Heading towards Level 12... Thinking about it carefully, how long has it been since he broke through to Level Eleven? His path to Level 13 had long been completely cleared; what he lacked was only energy accumulation.
The vast energy summoned by the Thunder Law, the crystal cores left behind by the alien beasts annihilated in the sea of thunder, including the crystal core of the Level 13 General-level Alien Beast he had slain: at this moment, they clearly became Lu Sheng's best fuel for advancement.
Lu Sheng didn't need to do anything intentionally. The 330,000 Immortal Cells within his body began to frantically devour all absorbable energy around them. They transformed into three hundred thirty thousand black holes. Each Cell was rapidly evolving, sublimating, and multiplying.
The number of Immortal Cells in Lu Sheng's body rapidly grew from the initial 330,000 to 500,000. Then it was one million... Two millions... Three millions... Four millions... When it reached the critical point of five million Immortal Cells, a wondrous feeling arose from the depths of Lu Sheng's heart.
"Buzz!"
It was as if two antennas had suddenly been inserted into his head. In an instant, he gained an incredibly clear and profound understanding of the operation and evolution of the universe's rules.
The entire universe, in his eyes... seemed to have become a little "clearer."
"Level 12!"
Lu Sheng felt the new cultivation realm within his grasp. Now he only needed to take one more step forward to complete the final transformation from Level 11 to Level 12.
"Comprehend the rules, channel the power of the rules into your body."
This was the cultivation method of Tu Yinai, which Lu Sheng had long been familiar with.
"The peak of the Fifth Realm is the perfection of rules, and the Sixth Realm above the Fifth Realm signifies the manifestation of laws. Currently, the number of martial arts I have mastered at the peak of the Five Realms is..."
Lu Sheng counted carefully, and the final result was: "Twelve!"
And martial arts that had not reached the peak but had entered the Fifth Realm numbered a full twenty-six. A truly astonishing number.
"If I can bring all twenty-six of these martial arts to their peak, and then draw Rule Power into my body... Thirty-eight Rule Galaxies will enter my body. Hiss"
Even Lu Sheng himself couldn't help but gasp.
Coupled with the mighty power bonus of five million Immortal Cells, plus the newly transformed Immortal Martial Supreme Body, and the blessing of the Golden Glazed Body divine ability... He didn't even know what level of hardness his martial body would reach.
"I could perfectly withstand the full-state red-giant form?"
Would it be possible to crush a Level 13 existence with a single hand without using the Power of the Thunder Law? It's really something to look forward to.
Moreover, with an entire Dream Scape Universe, he could access countless memories and inheritances from strong individuals. And the massive amount of rule fragments contained in those countless alien beast crystal cores... Lu Sheng's idea is not impossible to achieve. It might even exceed expectations.
"Good, before the complete breakthrough, I also need to improve my Mental Energy... Otherwise, I won't be able to control this suddenly surging power."
330,000 Immortal Cells instantly soared to five million. A terrifying increase of more than ten times. Even if he could enter the Martial God State, Lu Sheng felt a little uneasy.
Imagine, that's a full five million Stellar Seeds. What if they started causing trouble inside his body? Even if the Immortal Martial Supreme Body increased tenfold, it would probably explode with a "boom."
So the safest approach is... First, strengthen Mental Energy and greatly enhance the control limit in the Martial God State.
