Second Avatar

"I can finally go all out without holding back."

After venting, the Ultraman Avatar felt utterly refreshed. Ever since becoming Stellar level... no, since becoming Planetary Level, aside from the first Ocean Beast King he had killed, he had never gone all out.

Especially after reaching Stellar level, even if he wanted to train at full strength, he could not find a suitable place on Earth. After all, he could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary Stellar level warrior. That final all-out blow just now was something even ordinary Cosmic level experts might not have been able to unleash.

If he made even the slightest move on Earth, he could scare the current Earth government to death.

That was why the Ultraman Avatar had been suppressing his strength all this time. Only after reaching the uninhabited wasteland of Mars did he dare release his power without restraint.

Having power but being unable to use it was also an extremely painful thing. After venting, the Ultraman Avatar immediately felt refreshed, and even his spiritual realm had improved somewhat.

"The entirety of Mars seems to be a Black Iron mine belonging to the Silver Blue Empire."

Having calmed down, the Ultraman Avatar recalled that aside from that pile of Black Iron, there did not seem to be anything else worthwhile on Mars.

"I can forget about the A-grade Black Iron. I can take some B-grade Black Iron Essence and C-grade Black Iron Mother to sell in the universe later."

While the Ultraman Avatar was venting, Dracion had also scanned all of Mars, naturally discovering the nine Energy Pyramids and the steel city beneath them.

Back then, the Silver Blue Empire had mined Mars and established a mining base there—the nine Pyramids. Hu Yanbo had then instantly killed them all. The remaining miners had used Black Iron to construct the steel city beneath the Pyramids, but they ultimately died as well, leaving behind huge quantities of metal in the warehouses.

Afterward, the Ultraman Avatar looted the steel city beneath the Pyramids. He had no interest in ordinary A-grade Black Iron, only taking away 33,600 tons of Black Iron Essence and 2.34 tons of Black Iron Mother. Those could still fetch some money.

"Master, which planet are you going to next?" Dracion asked from the screen after the Ultraman Avatar finished looting.

"None of them!"

For the Ultraman Avatar, who had already reached Stellar level, it was difficult to find anything within the Solar System that could interest him, apart from the Zerg Mother Nest and the Immortal Race Spaceship on Earth. However, neither was something he, at Stellar level, could touch.

"We're going..." The Ultraman Avatar looked up at the sky. A dazzling star constantly radiated energy.

"The Sun!"

The Sun had a diameter of 1.39 million kilometers, a volume one million times that of Earth, and a mass 330,000 times that of Earth. It was a perfect sphere of nuclear fusion, supplying energy to the entire Solar System. Its surface temperature reached 5,500 degrees, while its core temperature reached 15 million degrees.

At that moment, this star, which had not been visited in a long time, welcomed a new visitor—a Giant of Light.

"So close to the Sun, my entire body has become active."

After taking the Black Dragon Ship near the Sun, the Ultraman Avatar stored the ship in his storage space and charged alone into the Corona Layer.

Once the Ultraman Avatar landed on the Sun's surface, he immediately felt his body's cells become exceptionally active, absorbing Cosmic Primal Energy at more than twice their usual speed.

In Swallowed Star, there was a type of Starry Sky Beast that lived within stars—the Flame Star Giant Beast. It too possessed one of the universe's peak bloodlines and grew by feeding on stars.

However, the Ultraman Avatar felt that his condition differed from that of the Flame Star Giant Beast. He was not devouring the Sun's power; rather, his body had been stimulated, accelerating his growth beyond its usual rate.

"Roughly twice as fast!"

The Ultraman Avatar made an estimate. It would take him around one hundred years to go from Stellar Rank 1 to Cosmic level. At double the growth speed, he would need only fifty years.

"Still too slow."

The Ultraman Avatar sighed. Fortunately, he could still use resources that promoted human growth. Combined with the star's acceleration, that should save quite a bit of time. Of course, that would have to wait until he came into contact with human civilization in the universe.

For now, he could only make do with this. Double acceleration was not bad.

Thus, the Ultraman Avatar cultivated on the star, while Lu Yunhe's human body entered seclusion inside the Pyramid.

More than a month later, Lu Yunhe, who was inside the Pyramid, slowly opened his eyes. Strengthened by the Wood Gem, he had finally reached Planetary Level.

"That really wasn't easy!"

Lu Yunhe wore a wistful expression. Compared to the Ultraman Avatar's growth speed, he had practically taken pills all the way to Planetary Level.

In the early stage, he had used Wood Spirit Crystals to reach the level of a formal martial artist. In the middle stage, he had used Wood Spirits to reach War God Level. Finally, he had used the Wood Gem to reach Planetary First Order. His own cultivation progress had been minimal.

But the result was good in the end. He had finally reached Planetary Level and could draw his next avatar.

"Monster Compendium!"

Lu Yunhe summoned the system, which had not appeared in a long time. If he had not remembered that every breakthrough in realm granted him a chance to draw a Monster Avatar, he might have nearly forgotten about his cheat.

Monster Compendium

Character: Lu Yunhe

Cultivation: Planetary First Order

Monster Avatar: Ultraman (Details)

Monster Draw Count: 1

Exchange List: Omitted

...

Lu Yunhe skipped over the exchange list. The items within were simply too discouraging, so he directly began drawing a new Monster Avatar.

After Lu Yunhe clicked draw, the Monster Compendium slowly opened to its second page:

Monster: Ten-Tails · Divine Tree

Cultivation: None

Gene Level: Tenfold

Law Affinity: Wood, Space, Metal, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light

Innate Abilities: Unified Flora and Fauna, Jinchuriki Mode, Divine Tree Fruit, Wood Release, Rinne Sharingan, Affiliated Space, Tailed Beast Ball Truth-Seeking Orb

"Ten-Tails?"

Lu Yunhe blinked, feeling somewhat depressed about the two "monsters" drawn from the Illustrated Compendium. Why were they all such oddballs?

However, compared to the Ultraman Avatar's pitifully sparse Innate Abilities, the Ten-Tails · Divine Tree had an impressive array of abilities.

Unified Flora and Fauna: The Ten-Tails · Divine Tree possessed both the Monster's Ten-Tails Form and the plant's Divine Tree form, and could freely switch between them.

Jinchuriki Mode: The Ten-Tails · Divine Tree could fuse with any lifeform and become Jinchuriki Mode. In this state, the fusion partner would possess the power of the Ten-Tails · Divine Tree, along with its corresponding Innate Abilities.

Divine Tree Fruit: In Divine Tree form, it absorbed Cosmic Primal Energy to produce Energy Fruits.

Wood Release: The Ten-Tails · Divine Tree possessed the ability to control trees.

Rinne Sharingan: It possessed the ability to manipulate energy, matter, and souls, while also wielding the power of illusion techniques.

Affiliated Space: The Ten-Tails · Divine Tree possessed eight major attribute spaces: forest (wood), metal (metal), magma (fire), ocean (water), gravity (earth), storm, lightning, and white light.

Tailed Beast Ball Truth-Seeking Orb: The Ten-Tails · Divine Tree could fuse the eight major attribute "energies."

The reason he chose the Ten-Tails was because he had his eye on its Jinchuriki Mode. It could replace Plant Lifeforms, the Jie Armor, and the like during the early and middle stages. After all, the author did not really want to cultivate things like the Magic Cloud Vine from the original work, nor did he want to search for Soldier Armor or General Armor. This avatar perfectly solved that problem.
