Life Leap, the True Meaning of "Son of Light"

!

"Hm? What's this?" Just as Lu Ming wanted to explore the specific effects of the Son of Light talent, he discovered that the cells throughout his body had suddenly begun sending wave after wave of an inescapable hunger!

This hunger made him instinctively take out a blue crystal. This blue crystal constantly emitted a dreamlike blue halo like starlight, hence its name—Star Blue Crystal.

Star Blue Crystal was a treasure similar to Wood Sprout Crystal, but even more precious and powerful. It possessed extremely potent life energy and could greatly improve and evolve both the soul and body, with no side effects whatsoever.

"Logically speaking, I've already reached the peak of the ninth rank of the Stellar level. Unless I break through to the Universe level, my body's cells shouldn't feel this kind of 'hunger.' Could it be..." Lu Ming's heart jolted, and he faintly formed a bold guess. But whether that was truly the case would have to be verified later.

Inside the spacious cultivation room.

"Gurgle, gurgle~" Lu Ming could clearly sense that his incomparably hungry body was now frantically absorbing the energy within the Star Blue Crystal.

The energy in his body's cells had originally been in a state of "complete saturation" at the Stellar level. Yet today, his body seemed to have just undergone a major bloodline evolution, gaining room to be "filled" once more.

"This feeling is simply too wonderful!"

Sitting cross-legged, Lu Ming tightly gripped the Star Blue Crystal in his hand, feeling so good that his scalp went numb.

Vast amounts of life-filled energy frantically poured into his body. Every cell that had just undergone an essential transformation was ravenously devouring this energy. They were all far too hungry. Each stream of energy was swallowed the instant it entered his body, and the absorption continued without end.

In less than half an hour, one Star Blue Crystal had been completely absorbed. Lu Ming swiftly took out another.

The process of absorbing Star Blue Crystal energy was also a process of Lu Ming's body evolving. As his body continuously evolved and grew stronger, the genetic energy and spiritual force within him naturally kept increasing as well!

If Marquis Zhenlei witnessed this unbelievable scene, he would likely be utterly shocked!

After all, Lu Ming was undergoing a Life Leap without breaking through in strength!

Every time a flesh-and-blood lifeform broke through a threshold, it would undergo a leap.

Breaking through to the Planetary level, breaking through to the Stellar level, breaking through to the Universe level... At all other times, there was merely an accumulation of quantity.

"My body is still at the ninth rank of the Stellar level. I haven't broken through a threshold. But deep within every cell of my bones, muscles, and internal organs, rapid changes are taking place!" Lu Ming was incomparably excited.

This leap in life level, beyond the five threshold breakthroughs from the Planetary level to World Master, represented one thing—an increase in Life gene level!

Increasing one's Life gene level was extremely difficult!

Even among the true powerhouses of the Human Race, using all kinds of treasures, increasing it tenfold was generally considered extraordinarily rare.

Yet he, a mere Stellar-level youngster, had actually raised his own Life gene level? No one would dare believe it if he told them!

"This is..." Two days later, as the life energy from one Star Blue Crystal after another seeped deep into his body's cells, Lu Ming increasingly clearly felt that his body's genes had undergone a special leap at their very foundation. A wondrous and unique power was even gradually being born within every one of his cells.

Yet this power was neither genetic energy nor spiritual force. It was some unknown force.

As time passed, this special force gradually fused into Lu Ming's entire body.

"Ha!" After instinctively letting out a roar, Lu Ming could feel that the unknown power had completely fused into every part of his body, his limbs, bones, and every cell!

At the same time, Lu Ming felt as if the entire world had changed.

"Truly wonderful!" Lu Ming closed his eyes.

"The lightning origin... actually..." Lu Ming felt that the Lightning Origin Law had become clearer than ever before!

Previously, even with the Advanced Lightning Affinity talent, he had still felt as though he was viewing flowers through fog whenever he comprehended the Lightning Origin Law, always separated by a layer. But now, after the Life Leap, when he once again comprehended the Lightning Origin Law, it was as if he had pierced through that layer of paper. His entire soul became clear and unobstructed!

Such clear perception would absolutely allow his future speed of comprehending the Lightning Origin Law to rise once again!

Moreover, he felt that his connection to the Universe Origin had also become closer.

"Not just that..." Lu Ming faintly sensed that even his control over laws might have become easier.

"Lion's Roar!" Lu Ming stared straight ahead and suddenly swung his fist. Behind him, the phantom of a lightning lion vaguely roared and lashed out with its claws!

"Leopard's Cry!" Lu Ming moved again like a ghost, like a cold and ferocious lightning leopard rampaging freely through the cultivation room.

"Tiger's Roar!" Lu Ming vanished from where he stood. His entire body condensed into an incomparably realistic, savage tiger radiating dazzling lightning, ready to smash through all obstacles!

"This feeling is truly wonderful." Lu Ming opened his eyes again. "So this is the true meaning of the 'Son of Light'!"

Among the countless lifeforms of the endless universe, some were born outrageously gifted. For example, the Demon Killer Race was born with a talent for the space origin and were darlings of space. Then there was the Golden Horn Beast clan among the Starry Sky Giant Beasts, born as darlings of the Law of Gold.

Because they were more closely connected to the Universe Origin, the power of their law-based attacks was naturally greater. With the same comprehension of the Space Law, a Human Race powerhouse might only be able to create seven or eight spatial phantoms, while a Demon Killer Race member could create over a hundred.

And now that Lu Ming had truly entered the Son of Light state, he was the same as the Demon Killer Race.

Even if his comprehension of laws was somewhat lower, he could still unleash more astonishing power. Naturally, in this state, comprehending the Lightning Origin Law would also become easier.

"Moreover, when I just used lightning-type secret techniques, their power was nearly ten times greater than before." After confirming this point, Lu Ming was completely stunned by the enormous surprise! He knew what this meant.

"This degree of improvement can already rival the Demon Killer Race's talent. In other words... my current Life gene level should also be ten times what it was before!" Though he was still only at the ninth rank of the Stellar level, after his Life gene level increased tenfold, his current "foundation" was already roughly comparable to that of an ordinary first-rank Universe-level powerhouse.

This strength was not strength brought by external factors such as weapons or amplitude secret techniques. It was strength rooted in the most fundamental aspects of physical power, genetic energy, and more!

As long as he was at the same level, his "base stats" alone would be ten times those of an ordinary member of the Human Race. And this lead was permanent!

Even if he advanced to the Universe level, Domain Lord, World Master, or even Immortal in the future, this strength would not diminish by even the slightest bit!

"Unfortunately, during the Peak Genius Battle, everyone's physical attributes will become the same. Otherwise, with this move alone..." Of course, this thought only flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

Even without relying on this, he was still confident that the tremendous talent boost brought by the Son of Light alone would let him carve out a new path!

"Previously, Teacher Marquis Zhenlei thought it would already be good if I learned the fourth form of the Eight Forms of the Thunder Beast within three years. Then I'll give him a huge surprise!" At this thought, a confident smile once again appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's lips.
