Radiant Power

Radiant Power

Inside the Pyramid!

The once-brilliant crystal had now become incomparably dim. In contrast, a massive fireball beside it shone like a star.

A closer look would reveal faint threads of golden light within the fireball.

Suddenly, the star-like fireball fiercely contracted inward, instantly filling the final gap.

Crack!

At that moment, the crystal seemed to have completed its final task. Drained of its last trace of energy, it shattered apart.

As the crystal fragments scattered, the fireball in midair slowly descended, gradually taking physical form as the Ultraman Avatar.

The Ultraman Avatar was now over ten meters tall. Golden hues faintly emerged amid the three-colored patterns on his body, though his overall appearance had not changed much.

"I've finally entered the Growth Stage."

The Ultraman Avatar quietly sensed the power contained within his body. Gene Primal Force and Mental Power, two distinct forces, were perfectly coordinated under his will. At the same time, his affinity with the surrounding light increased once more, as though a single thought would allow him to merge with it at any time.

Compared with the increase in strength, another change was even more astonishing.

When the Ultraman Avatar calmed his mind, he could faintly sense a wondrous fluctuation—the fluctuation of the vast Universe Origin, the Light Origin Law.

However, in Ultraman form, that fluctuation was still somewhat indistinct. Yet when he turned into a form of pure light, his clarity of this law immediately increased severalfold.

"The Domain of Light has reached the fifth level, and I can even vaguely sense the Light Origin Law. This is the Giant of Light."

Lu Yunhe, on the other side, was equally thrilled. The moment he entered the Stellar level, he could sense the Light Origin Law. As expected of Ultraman, the incarnation of light.

"Gold!"

The instant his thoughts strayed, the Ultraman Avatar withdrew from his perception of the Light Origin Law. He then turned his gaze toward the newly appeared golden patterns on his body.

Compared with the red, blue, and silver colors that covered most of his body, these golden streaks were pitifully few. Yet those sparse patterns completely unified the other colors, creating a simple beauty pushed to the extreme.

"Ha!"

The Ultraman Avatar shouted, focusing all his will on the golden stripes across his body. They instantly spread across his wrists, ankles, and chest, forming shapes similar to bracelets.

"Radiant Form!"

A faint golden radiance shimmered across the Ultraman Avatar's entire body, making him look incomparably sacred.

"My overall strength has increased twofold!"

As the golden light faded, the Ultraman Avatar could not help frowning. The evolution he had anticipated for so long was unexpectedly not much different from his previous forms. It was not even as impressive as his increased perception of the Light Origin Law.

Unlike the Power Type and Aerial Type, which separately enhanced warrior strength and Mental Power, Radiant Form enhanced everything twofold without distinguishing between the body and spirit.

"Let's try again!"

The Ultraman Avatar activated Radiant Form once more, then activated the red Power Type. In an instant, atop the foundation of Radiant Form, his physical strength was further enhanced, reaching four times that of his base form.

"They can actually stack."

The Ultraman Avatar was somewhat delighted. Activating both forms at once was equivalent to a fourfold enhancement.

"Wait!"

Just as the Ultraman Avatar was rejoicing, his consciousness suddenly sensed something. He instantly dispelled the Power Type, retaining only Radiant Form.

As the red patterns receded, the Ultraman Avatar calmed himself once again. The Light Origin Law, which had originally been difficult to perceive, instantly became much clearer.

"My clarity of perception toward the Light Origin Law has actually doubled."

The change in his perception of the Origin Laws instantly made Lu Yunhe realize something.

In the world of Swallowed Star, aside from Secret Arts and Weapons and Equipment, there were two methods of enhancing one's foundational strength.

One was force techniques and Divine Body Amplification. Force techniques could reach a maximum of a hundredfold, which was equivalent to 100%, but this would be overridden at the Immortal level, since one of the requirements for breaking through to Immortality was 100% force exertion. Divine Body Amplification could likewise reach 100 Times, and it would be overridden upon breaking through to Universe Master, at which point the entire amplification system would be completely superseded.

At the same time, cultivators' unique enhancement talents also belonged to the amplification system and could stack to a certain extent, though there would be losses. Furthermore, the limit could only reach 100 x 100 Times.

Amplification and talent enhancement also had higher priority and could stack atop force techniques. After all, it was clear from the fact that the latter was leveled out at the World Lord level and overridden at the Immortal level.

The other was the gene amplification unique to the world of Swallowed Star—the so-called gene multiplier. This distinctive system would not be overridden by the 10,081-fold Perfect Gene until one became the Universe's Strongest, a True God. Surpassing the Perfect Gene meant directly embarking upon another path, one with an extremely high upper limit.

In the world of Swallowed Star, gene multipliers and Divine Body Amplification, or force exertion, were two separate paths that could stack perfectly without any loss.

Moreover, as a system pioneered by the world of Swallowed Star, gene amplification not only increased strength but also enhanced the clarity of one's consciousness in comprehending the Origin Laws, as well as the body's compatibility with the Original Universe...

Clearly, for the Ultraman Avatar, the Power Type and Aerial Type belonged to amplification, while Radiant Form had an outrageously powerful effect on the Gene Level. That was why they could stack.

"According to Swallowed Star's classification, my Gene Level should now be twentyfold."

Lu Yunhe was overjoyed. Luo Feng's increases in gene multiplier and Divine Body Amplification had seemed as easy as drinking water in the original story, but for everyone else, they were incomparably difficult.

Even after Luo Feng became a Universe Master and borrowed the strength of the entire Human Race, the Gene Level of his Moshazhu Race avatar had only risen to several thousandfold, let alone anyone else.

Although it was only one extra multiple compared with the original Tenfold Gene, equivalent to merely three Blood Luo Crystals, it was still a good sign. It meant that the Ultraman Avatar truly possessed enormous potential.

The Ultraman Avatar had already been extraordinarily gifted in comprehending the Light Origin Law. Now, he also had Radiant Form and could even activate Miracle Type to gain some sort of boost to his comprehension.

"As expected of the Giant of Light."

The Ultraman Avatar sighed in admiration, then looked toward the Crystal Coffin in the room. There was still a corpse inside.

"I should let you rest in peace."

After absorbing the energy stored in the crystal, the entire Energy Pyramid could no longer maintain its condition. Before long, a large number of adventurers would likely come to explore it.

With a sweep of his hand, the Crystal Coffin before the Ultraman Avatar instantly vanished and was placed inside the Storage Ring.

"Since I've already broken through to the Stellar level, I should hurry over to my human body."

The Ultraman Avatar instantly turned to light, surpassing the limits of speed. In only a few seconds, he flew near Lu Yunhe's human body.
