Cosmic Power

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature

Cosmic Power is the power of cosmic origin: it constructs planets, maintains celestial bodies, and participates in the birth and transformation of cosmic phenomena 204.

It exists within celestial bodies as the essence of light, elements, and life, and serves as the executive power of universal laws 222. Ancient cosmic beings were the first to harness it; these beings became the earliest cosmic gods, giving Cosmic Power its reputation as the “power of gods” 222.

Cultivation and Rules

• Cosmic Power may be drawn and refined through Profound Arts, including Wang Yu's Profound Art and later the Flowing Feather Profound Art 222 275.
• The number of streams or strands wielded is a major measure of a cultivator's rank and combat power, particularly among Star Envoys and Great Star Envoys 240 260.
• Attempting to draw additional Cosmic Power can invoke Heavenly Punishment, a destructive energy strike governed by cosmic rules 235.
• The punishment intensifies when a cultivator takes more Cosmic Power than expected; Wang Yu receives six bolts upon reaching the Super Rank and later faces triple-layered Heavenly Punishment after integrating Titan bloodline power 304 353.
• Cosmic Power can be acquired from environmental phenomena and resources, including Star Veins and Cosmic Flowers 210 422.
• The Time Dragon's Dragon Bone requires Star Veins charged with Cosmic Power to activate spacetime traversal 210.

Known Applications

Combat Enhancement

Cosmic Power enables users to contend at Star Envoy rank and above, with greater quantities generally corresponding to greater direct combat strength 240 260.

• Wang Yu's first absorption lets him instantly kill a Heavenly Being-level Fierce Beast through the Spiritual Power of his Profound Art 222.
• Two complete streams allow Wang Yu to defeat a high-ranking Star Envoy wielding three streams 240.
• Seven streams establish Wang Yu as a Great Star Envoy 264.
• Opponents in later conflicts wield ten, fifteen, twenty, and even seventy-nine strands, illustrating the scale of upper-tier cosmic combat 298 319 353.

Spiritual Power and Energy Control

Cosmic Power cultivation works in conjunction with Spiritual and Mental Power.

• Wang Yu's Spiritual Power condenses into a cluster, expanding his perception range and improving fine energy control and manipulation 240.
• His Path of Evolution can manifest Mental Power as a Fierce Beast phantom while refining absorbed energies 270.
• Cosmic Power can be combined with bloodline abilities and techniques such as Spiritual Power · All Things Birth and Death 234.

Environmental and Resource Effects

• Cosmic Flowers release streams of Cosmic Power when they bloom, accelerating cultivation for those able to absorb them 422.
• The energy intensity of the Lightless Great Star System influences settlement decisions; the Human Race establishes an underground city in part because of the environment's stronger energy 234.
• A changing cosmic-energy environment precedes the Darkest Hour, a dangerous period that also provides cultivation opportunities 239 248.

Countermeasures

• Bright Light Battle Armor — Rune battle armor designed specifically to defend against attacks using Cosmic Power; its production cost and Rune-inscription failure rate prevent inexpensive mass deployment 264.
• Bright Light Spear — A paired Rune weapon capable of damaging Star Envoy-level opponents 264.
• Rune Puppets and Mecha Generals — Human Race Rune constructs developed to supplement combat strength against powerful extraterrestrial threats 272 276.

Story Role

• The Flag Spirit introduces Cosmic Power to Wang Yu as a supreme cosmic medium, framing it as the next stage beyond his prior cultivation 204.
• Wang Yu's initial absorption during his First Step Realm breakthrough demonstrates its immediate transformative effect and establishes it as central to his Profound Art path 222.
• The need to gather Star Veins for the Dragon Bone makes Cosmic Power vital to the Human Race's planned escape from their dying star system 210.
• Cosmic Power becomes the defining resource and ranking standard of the wider starry cosmos, shaping conflicts with the Crimson Snake Race, Dia Clan, Ghost Shadow Tribe, Moon Essence Race, and other factions 224 240 298 374.
• Wang Yu's repeated breakthroughs—and the Heavenly Punishments they provoke—make Cosmic Power both the foundation of his rise and a continuing threat to himself and the Human Race's territory 304 346 358.
