Breakthrough to Star Level

At the same time, the energy from the "Earth Mother Qi" absorbed earlier played a crucial role. It transformed into pure Earth-type cosmic energy, frantically nourishing the newly grown tissues, repairing the damage caused by genetic recombination, and replenishing the massive energy consumed by the evolution, allowing this painful and violent transformation process to proceed in a relatively "gentle" and efficient manner.

Time passed slowly amidst extreme pain.

One hour...

Two hours...

Qin Zhao was drenched as if pulled from water, his body twitching uncontrollably from time to time, but he maintained clarity of consciousness. In fact, amid this drastic change in life essence, his perception of his own physical body and his grasp of energy flow reached an unprecedented level of subtlety. He vaguely sensed that the bottleneck of the Ten Thousand Line Flow, which had been stuck at the entry stage, seemed to show signs of loosening during this all-encompassing transformation.

Finally, after three hours that felt like an eternity, the excruciating pain that had swept through his body receded like a tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort and overwhelming power.

The transformation was complete.

Qin Zhao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of azure lightning flickering within them. He stood up and moved his body; the sound of Origin Force flowing like a surging river echoed from within, and his Spiritual Force felt as dense and heavy as mercury. His body felt incredibly light, yet brimming with explosive power, and his perception and affinity for the surrounding cosmic energy had increased manifold!

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the meditation room.

The youth in the mirror was now nearly two meters tall, with a well-proportioned and perfect physique, streamlined muscles containing terrifying strength. His skin had become finer, faintly shimmering with a layer of luster. The most striking feature was the two pale blue antennae on his forehead, about ten centimeters long, soft yet resilient, twitching unconsciously as if they could more clearly capture energy fluctuations and information from the cosmos.

The next moment, Qin Zhao's gaze fell on the data panel that had already updated before him.

[Name: Qin Zhao] [Talent: Earth-type (Superior), Water-type (High), Space (Medium)] [Secret Techniques: 128 Martial Arts Secret Techniques (Mastery), Shockwave (Proficiency 62%), Earth Pulse Guard (Proficiency 58%), Ten Thousand Line Flow (Proficiency 1%)] [Insights: Earth-style Laws (Earth Element 100%, Pulse of the Earth 82%, Gravity Space 15%)] [Buff: Enlightenment +30%, Soul Resistance +10%]

Not only had [Space (Medium)] been added to his talents, but the Ten Thousand Line Flow in the secret techniques column had also become [Ten Thousand Line Flow (Proficiency 1%)]!

"It worked!"

Qin Zhao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within and his completely renewed physical foundation, joy shining in his eyes. The Longke Race Bloodline Evolution Agent had exceeded expectations! Not only had it enhanced his talents, but it had also directly granted him a medium-level talent for the Law of Space!

As for why the Space talent had a "Pseudo" suffix? Qin Zhao had some guesses. It was because the worldview of the Coiling Dragon world was merely a subsidiary universe. The stability of a subsidiary universe was inferior to that of the main universe, so Hongmeng would not allow beings who comprehended the Law of Space or the Law of Time to exist within a subsidiary universe.

For this very reason, in subsidiary universes, Space and Time aspects could not be cultivated. However, the worldview Qin Zhao was currently in was Swallowed Star, whose cosmic structure was far more advanced than the subsidiary universe of the Coiling Dragon world. Thus, both the Law of Time and the Law of Space could be normally comprehended and cultivated.

Since the Law of Time and Space could be normally cultivated under the Swallowed Star worldview, and there were no cultivators of these laws in the Coiling Dragon worldview, the panel simply added a "Pseudo" character to deceive itself.

Feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body, along with the new perceptions brought by the [Space (Medium)] talent and [Ten Thousand Line Flow (Entry 99%)], Qin Zhao did not relax. Breaking through to Star Level in one go had been planned long ago. Moreover, with his current cultivation at Planet Level Nine Peak, under the impact of the Longke Race bloodline's vast vitality, he had already reached a critical point. The barrier to Star Level had become unprecedentedly thin in the face of his new life form.

"Taking this opportunity, I'll break through to Star Level directly!" A sharp glint flashed in Qin Zhao's eyes.

The leap in life level brought by bloodline evolution was the perfect time to break through realms. The two complemented each other, achieving twice the result with half the effort. The massive energy accumulated from the resources he had exchanged and absorbed earlier was now the perfect fuel to impact the bottleneck.

He sat cross-legged again, sinking his mind into his body. In his dantian, nine miniature earth-yellow planets, slowly rotating around a core, had expanded to their limit, emitting a brilliant and stable light. The original Planet-level Origin Force, after being washed by the energy of the bloodline evolution, seemed to have taken on a purer and more active quality.

"Condense!"

Qin Zhao focused his willpower intensely, using his powerful soul as a guide to drive the nine miniature planets to collapse inward and converge according to the Star Level breakthrough method recorded in the 128 Martial Arts Secret Techniques!

"Boom!"

A sound like the creation of the world echoed in his dantian. The nine miniature planets instantly disintegrated under immense pressure, turning into an extremely dense, violent, ochre nebular dust, filling the entire dantian space. The original orderly structure was shattered, and the energy became chaotic and destructive.

Intense pain radiated from his dantian, far more concentrated and profound than during the bloodline evolution—the tearing sensation of a forced qualitative change in energy. But Qin Zhao, having endured the inhuman pain of genetic recombination, had tempered his will to be as firm as a rock. He held his mind steady, unmoved, and guided this chaotic nebula with all his might.

His will acted like an invisible giant hand, forcibly constraining and compressing the center of this violent ochre nebula! Countless nebular dust particles collided, rubbed, and fused wildly under immense pressure. A point of blazing light began to emerge at the center, growing brighter and brighter!

"Not enough!" Sensing the terrifying devouring force of the core point, Qin Zhao moved his mind. The vast life energy and cosmic source energy, remnants of the "Star Source Marrow" he had absorbed and the bloodline evolution stored in his limbs and bones, surged like a tide toward his dantian, pouring into the collapsing nebula!

With the addition of this fresh force, the light at the core point suddenly exploded!

Buzz—!

A hum seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul.

The entire violent ochre nebula visibly collapsed and contracted toward that central point! In just a moment, all the nebular dust vanished, replaced by a miniature star suspended in the center of his dantian, slowly rotating, radiating endless light and heat—a miniature star!

This star was a dark yellow, its surface seemingly covered with countless undulating mountain ranges and flowing earth veins, exuding a heavy, majestic aura that bore all things—the manifestation of Qin Zhao's Earth-type Genetic Force! The moment the star formed, a torrent of Star-level Origin Force, far purer and more than ten times more vast than Planet-level, surged through Qin Zhao's entire body like a bursting river!

This was Star Level!
