Immediately afterward, an indescribable agony surged through every limb and bone in his body.
He felt as if his body were being shattered inch by inch, then reassembled.
His bones cracked, his muscles dissolved, and his meridians ruptured.
Then they were reconstructed in a more perfect, more resilient form!
A large amount of black, foul-smelling impurities began seeping from the surface of his skin.
His body temperature rose high enough to melt steel.
This was a qualitative leap!
Soon, Li Yifei's bodily transformation reached its end.
He had grown slightly taller.
His bones had become harder than alloy.
His muscle fibers brimmed with explosive power.
His internal organs were like the most exquisite works of art, radiating vigorous vitality.
He could clearly feel that his level of life had leaped into an entirely new realm!
"Whew—"
Li Yifei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
That breath shot more than ten meters like a white arrow, smashing a boulder to pieces.
He slowly rose to his feet.
The body that had previously been grievously wounded and nearly falling apart was now completely restored, filled with an unprecedented sense of power.
He lightly clenched his fist.
"Boom!"
The air exploded in his grip, releasing a dull burst.
He raised his head and looked at a Beast Soldier level monster several kilometers away, which was gnawing on plants amid the ruins.
In his eyes, every movement of that monster, every tremble of its fur, was clearly visible.
This was the world of the Planetary level!
Martial artist, Planetary level first order!
The bottleneck that had plagued him for so long had finally been utterly shattered today with his life and blood!
Li Yifei stood beside the hill-like corpse of the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard, his brow tightly furrowed.
He had just finished examining his condition.
His martial artist strength had steadily entered the Planetary level first order.
Every cell in his body was filled with explosive power, and the leap in his life level had brought an unprecedented feeling of strength.
But his Mental power remained stuck at the peak of High-level God of War, only one step away from the Planetary level.
That left him somewhat disappointed.
However, the biggest issue lay right before him.
The Planetary-level Monster he had killed only after enormous effort, nearly losing his life in the process, was covered in treasures.
Its blood, scales, bones, internal organs... every material was a strategic resource on Earth that could drive every major faction into a frenzy.
Using his battle blade, he cut open the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard's skull and carefully removed its most valuable brain marrow before laboriously digging out its heart.
These two items were not large, yet they accounted for more than half the value of the entire corpse.
But as he looked at the remaining mountain of flesh and blood, Li Yifei's heart bled.
"Damn it, not having a Space Ring is such a pain."
He could not help muttering under his breath.
This thing was so huge that let alone taking it away, even cutting it apart would take quite some time.
By the time he finished processing it, the day lilies would be cold. Other, more terrifying monsters might even be drawn here.
What a waste, such a waste!
Wait!
A Space Ring?
A thought flashed through Li Yifei's mind like lightning.
In his world, spatial items truly were legendary objects.
They were miraculous items that could only be crafted by Realm Lords who had comprehended the Space Law, or even Immortal Gods. Each one was worth a fortune measured in "Hun Yuan."
Let alone a mere Planetary level like him, even ordinary Cosmic level powerhouses might not possess one.
But... Douluo Continent was different!
Li Yifei's eyes instantly lit up.
He remembered clearly that in that world, there was an item called a "Storage Soul Tool." Though the name was a little crude, its function was exactly the same as a Space Ring's.
Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining one was worlds apart!
When the time came, not only could he solve his problem of carrying supplies, he could even bring back a batch to sell.
Once this thought appeared, it began wildly growing in his heart.
Of course, he could not openly sell them in large quantities.
Things were valuable because they were scarce.
Taking out one or two occasionally and claiming they were fortuitous finds from some cosmic secret realm would be entirely plausible.
After all, the universe was vast and full of wonders. It was perfectly normal for some treasures not to follow the mainstream technological path.
But if he sold too many, he would be courting death.
Even an ordinary Space Ring could sell for an astronomical price. Though Douluo Continent's Storage Soul Tools had limited space, were unstable, and could easily be damaged in battle, as long as he priced them "cheaply," they would definitely make the powerhouses of the universe fight over them.
The wealth represented by this was enough to make any faction jealous and could even draw the covetous eyes of Realm Lord level powerhouses.
"I need to plan this carefully."
Li Yifei stroked his chin, his thoughts becoming increasingly clear.
Since he was going to Douluo Continent for Storage Soul Tools, why not maximize the benefits of this trip?
For example... awakening a Martial Soul!
A "Martial Soul" sounded like it had something to do with the soul.
His Mental power was currently stuck at a bottleneck. If he could strengthen and improve his soul on that world by awakening a Martial Soul, he might be able to break through the barrier in one stroke and become a Planetary level Mental Master!
Once both his martial artist and Mental Master paths entered the Planetary level, his strength would undergo an earth-shaking surge!
And there was godhood, and longevity...
Li Yifei's heart began beating faster.
The world of Swallowed Star was too cruel. Even Realm Lords risked falling, and Immortal Gods were not truly eternal either.
Douluo Continent's "gods" might be far inferior to Immortals in terms of power, but the properties of "Godhood" and "Eternal Life" held a fatal attraction for him.
He had to go!
And he had to go as soon as possible!
Having made up his mind, Li Yifei activated the Chat Group with a thought.
During the time he had been gone, the group had already exploded, with all kinds of messages flooding the screen.
[World's Number One Princess: Where is he? Where is he? Why did Brother Yifei suddenly stop talking? Nothing happened to him, did it?] [Bunny Is So Cute: That Planetary-level Monster sounds so terrifying. Brother Yifei isn't in danger, is he?] [Ghost Cat: He said he was going to hunt that monster. There have been no messages since then, so the situation may not be optimistic.] [Is Jade Not Jade: Pah, pah, pah! Don't be such a jinx! The handsome guy is blessed by fate; he'll definitely be fine!] [Little Fox Demon: Teacher said that we simply cannot imagine a battle at that level...]
Seeing the messages filled with concern and care, a trace of warmth rose in Li Yifei's heart, which had turned cold and hard through his life-and-death battle.
He first looked at the trade message Bibi Dong had sent earliest.
[Bibi Dong: @Li Yifei, Group Leader, may I ask whether the rewards in your possession can be traded? I am willing to exchange all the resources of my Spirit Hall, including Soul Bones and anything else you desire, for the rewards in your hands.]
Previously, Li Yifei had indeed planned to sell the two rewards, [Soul Power Boost] and [God-bestowed Soul Ring], which were useless to him.
But now, he had changed his mind.
