Somewhere beyond perception.
The brilliant stars hanging high in the sky seemed to have formed some unknown, invisible connection with him.
At the same time, dazzling runes resembling starlight bloomed across his limbs.
Dreamlike and dazzling, they made anyone who saw them want to lose themselves in their glow.
When Luo Yi opened his eyes and saw the glittering starlight runes flashing across his limbs, a strange feeling rose within him.
It seemed he could now easily defeat his former self without using his cultivation.
He could even defeat Tribulation-Crossing Pseudo-Immortals far stronger than himself with his formidable body alone.
At this moment, the Stellar Body Forging Art, a body-refining Immortal Art, seemed finally to have revealed the mighty power worthy of its name.
After all, Luo Yi had previously cultivated the Stellar Body Forging Art to Initiation, then to Minor Accomplishment.
Though it had strengthened his body considerably, it had plainly fallen short of its reputation as an Immortal Art.
In particular, it had failed to live up to the opening passage's claim that cultivating it would ultimately allow one to "subdue immortals through strength."
To his mind, the art at Initiation or even Minor Accomplishment had granted a noticeable boost to his physical strength.

At that rate, even after Great Accomplishment or Perfection strengthened his body, it would probably only
