At Wuye Residence, Huang Wuye was sitting cross-legged in nutrient solution. Wuye Residence was the name he had given his home.

"It's about time I broke through to Stellar Level. I've been stuck at Planetary Level Nine for a while now. My Law Comprehension has slowed down, and after my breakthrough, the leap in my life level will make comprehending laws twice as effective."

Huang Wuye murmured softly. He had been at Planetary Level Nine for several months. Although his comprehension of the Law of Fire hadn't slowed since he'd reached the entry level, his overall progress had become somewhat sluggish. After all, the deeper one delved into law comprehension, the more abstruse it became.

Once he reached Stellar Level, his soul and genes would undergo a leap, making it easier for him to comprehend laws.

Although the strength of his soul had already pushed his Spiritual Force cultivation into Stellar Level, his body's evolution was still essential.

The Soul Derivation Innate Secret Technique granted him a powerful soul while also naturally pushing his Spiritual Force cultivation higher. This placed demands on his body; after all, powerful Spiritual Force needed a strong physical body to support it.

Although his soul clone could shoulder half the burden, his ever-growing Spiritual Force still put some strain on his body.

As he pondered this, Huang Wuye turned his attention to his breakthrough.

Huang Wuye focused inward. At that moment, nine Miniature Planets floated in his dantian, rotating gently. They glowed like nine fiery-red points of light, absorbing energy from the universe.

These nine scorching fireballs moved along strange paths, circling one another to form an unusual celestial structure.

With a thought, Huang Wuye released his hold over the nine planets.

Freed from his suppression, they began frantically absorbing the pure energy in the nutrient solution. The nine fireballs had long since reached their limits, and as they absorbed more energy, all nine fiery planets began to tremble and rapidly expand.

"Rumble~~~" In almost an instant, the nutrient solution throughout the entire space was frantically absorbed and converted into energy, then devoured completely. A terrifying energy vortex formed, and amid this astonishing influx of energy, the nine Miniature Planets rapidly expanded.

In a short while, they had grown ten times larger. All nine planets trembled, and in that instant, the largest Miniature Planet expanded to its limit!

"Boom!"

The largest Miniature Planet suddenly exploded!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The other eight Miniature Planets exploded in succession. Having exceeded their limits, they all burst apart in unison, turning into countless stellar fragments.

In the blink of an eye, all the fragments condensed into a massive planet.

Flames clung to its entire surface, and it was incomparably larger than the small planets from before.

It floated in his dantian, drawing in countless streams of energy with every breath.

At the same time, it exhaled streams of transparent energy: one of the sources of a warrior's power, gene Origin Energy.

As this transformation came to an end, Huang Wuye's body underwent a tremendous change.

His muscles, bones, flesh, internal organs, and fascia were constantly being reshaped and elevated. He was also growing taller.

His muscle density continued to increase. With each round of reshaping, his bones grew harder; a mysterious sheen appeared over his flesh; his internal organs grew more vigorous; and his fascia gained strength by leaps and bounds.

"Ah, how amazing. So this is the evolution of life! Dasheng, how long did it take?"

"Boss, your breakthrough took three days," Dasheng replied.

Huang Wuye let out a pleased murmur. Feeling how much taller he had grown, he couldn't help marveling at the change.

"I'm already over nine meters tall. That's ridiculous. I suppose I've left childhood and entered adolescence."

Indeed, Huang Wuye had now entered adolescence.

Desolate God Clan children were generally born at Planetary Level. They reached Stellar Level at around a hundred years old, Universe Level at a thousand, and Domain Lord Level at ten thousand.

Of course, that was for those who didn't cultivate.

So Stellar Level could only be considered adolescence.

In the underground training room, Huang Wuye was flying through the air. He shot forward at great speed, covering several thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

"Boss, your unaided flight speed is over 7,000 meters per second. That's twice as fast as an average Stellar Level One warrior. You'd be even faster if you used your telekinetic force to assist your flight," Dasheng said from the side, where he was keeping records.

"Mm. My Instant Roar's range should be about ten times greater now. That's my best escape trump card. Flight speed is still basically useless; it's only good as a reference." Huang Wuye smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Dasheng.

"Dasheng, send my father an email and ask if there's been any progress on finding what I asked him to look for."

"Sure." Dasheng agreed and went to send the email.

After learning about his Soul Derivation Innate Secret Technique, Huang Wuye had asked his father to find a suitable Special Lifeform to serve as a possession target.

Huang Wuye's father was named Huang Tian, and he was a powerful World Lord. He was also known as the Gold-Space World Lord. One could imagine the depths of his comprehension of the Gold-Space laws.

As a member of the Desolate God Clan, Huang Tian was no ordinary figure. He was one of the few who had been favored by fate. Both of his Innate Secret Techniques were extraordinary.

One of them was especially famous: the renowned Clone Secret Technique.

Everyone knew that anyone with this powerful technique had their survival abilities maxed out.

Father Huang was even fortunate enough to have three clones. Though his body's limitations prevented him from having clones that were too powerful, all three were extraordinary thanks to his backing from the Desolate God Clan. Each possessed a powerful Innate Secret Technique and was a Special Lifeform with fifty times the genes.

Some of them had even vanished into the river of history long ago. Only the Desolate God Clan, with its ancient and enduring legacy, still had some in stock.

Father Huang's own Law Comprehension was also extraordinary. On his own, as a World Lord, he could reach the level of a peak Marquis Immortal, or even a low-ranking King-level Immortal.

His clones' combat strength was no weaker than his true body's. But he lived among the Desolate God Clan, had no need to show himself, and was also discreet, with plenty of identities. That was why he hadn't caused a sensation. After all, high-profile geniuses were already dead.

So when he heard what Huang Wuye needed, he had volunteered and started searching for potential clones for him long ago.

Now that Huang Wuye had advanced to Stellar Level One, he had a premonition that the birth of his second soul clone was close. Father Huang had been searching for a clone for some time, which was why he had asked.

Based on the enhancement the Soul Derivation Secret Technique had originally provided Huang Wuye, fully nurturing his first soul clone would have taken fifty years. But the Desolate God Clan was wealthy beyond measure!

The foundation-building resources the Desolate God Clan provided its elite members were extravagantly lavish. Treasures that aided Law Comprehension and strengthened the soul were piled up like little mountains.

Of course, not every member of the Desolate God Clan received this treatment. A vast, ancient clan like theirs had its own rules for doing things.

Huang Wuye had received such treatment partly because of Father Huang's strength, and partly because of the Innate Secret Technique he had provided, which had been subtly modified by Little Bit.

That was why Huang Wuye had managed to nurture his first soul clone at such a young age.

As Huang Wuye was lost in thought, a voice interrupted him.

"Ding"...
