Planetary-Level Warrior, Space Freeze

"Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Wood Ya Essence. 52,000 points consumed!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, a fist-sized white crystal appeared in his hand. At the same time, a strange fragrance spread through the cave.

"So this is Wood Ya Essence?"

Xu Mo looked at the white-glowing crystal in his hand, a flicker of excitement appearing in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he brought the crystal directly to his mouth.

With a light bite, the crystal's shell cracked open, and the pure white liquid inside flowed into his mouth.

An intense aroma of rice exploded across his tongue.

Before he could savor it, the liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

After Xu Mo drank all the liquid inside the crystal, he felt a fierce burning sensation rise from his abdomen. Then, the heat began flowing toward every part of his body.

Before long, Xu Mo's entire body was as red as a cooked shrimp.

Sensing this, he sat cross-legged and began circulating the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method.

In an instant, the heat inside his body seemed to find an outlet and surged madly into his muscle cells.

A series of crackling sounds came from within his body.

As his body continuously grew stronger,

the dark golden sphere in his sea of consciousness also began releasing large amounts of Psychic Force.

Once released, the Psychic Force quickly vanished into his sea of consciousness, and Xu Mo's Psychic Force began increasing at a rapid pace.

Who knew how much time passed.

With a snap, the sphere in Xu Mo's mind shattered.

It turned into countless tiny particles.

Those particles, like ice and snow, rapidly melted away.

Only then had the Spiritual Core's energy been completely absorbed by Xu Mo.

This meant that his Psychic Force had reached the Peak Wargod level—1,000 tons.

However, although the growth of his Psychic Force had stopped, the Wood Ya Essence's energy was still continuously improving Xu Mo's physical condition.

Black impurities continuously seeped out of his pores.

After an unknown amount of time, the black substance covered Xu Mo's entire body.

A rumbling sound also rose from within him.

After modifying Xu Mo's body to its utmost limit, the remaining massive amount of energy gathered toward his lower dantian.

It continuously condensed and compressed at the center of his lower dantian.

Once compressed to the limit, a sphere resembling a miniature planet appeared there, slowly rotating like a real planet.

As the planet formed, all the energy in his body was completely absorbed by it.

Xu Mo, whose eyes had been closed, slowly opened them at that moment.

A silver gleam flashed through his eyes.

He slowly rose from the ground, and waves of popping sounds came from his body.

He closed his eyes and looked inward, seeing the slowly rotating planet in his dantian.

"So this is the sign of stepping into the Planetary Level?"

With a thought, waves of gravitational force emanated from the miniature planet.

Xu Mo's body floated up from the ground.

Unlike before, he had not used any Psychic Force this time.

As if it were an innate instinct, he could use the miniature planet to control gravity and magnetism within a certain range around him.

It was precisely through this ability that he could fly through the sky as freely as a fish in water.

Not only that, after reaching the Planetary Level, he no longer needed to breathe at all and could roam freely through space.

This was also one of the signature abilities of the Planetary Level.

To completely break free from a planet's restraints.

"System, open the status panel!"

In an instant, the familiar screen appeared before him.

[Name: Xu Mo]

[Age: 20]

[Strength: 1320 tons]

[Speed: 1300 meters/s]

[Psychic Force: 1000 tons]

[Special Ability: Space Freeze]

[Points: 34420]

First was his physical strength, which had increased more than tenfold.

It had risen from just over a hundred tons to more than a thousand tons.

With this level of strength, he was practically invincible on Earth.

With just a casual punch, he could easily destroy a skyscraper over thirty stories tall.

His speed had even surpassed Mach 4. That was without Psychic Force enhancement; if he used Psychic Force to propel himself, he could probably exceed Mach 5.

Do not underestimate that one Mach.

The greater one's speed became, the more difficult it was to increase further.

After all, air resistance increased exponentially.

As expected, his Psychic Force remained at the Peak Wargod level.

If he wanted to break through, he would need a special cultivation technique to condense his Psychic Force again.

However, that was merely a matter of time.

Before long, he believed he would also break through to become a Planetary-Level Spirit Reader.

What surprised Xu Mo the most was this additional special ability.

Due to their physiques, warriors also absorbed cosmic energy, but the attributes of the energy they absorbed differed.

As a result, after breaking through to the Planetary Level, they would gain all kinds of different abilities depending on the energy they absorbed.

Energy attributes came in countless varieties, and even under the same attribute, the awakened abilities could differ entirely.

It was obvious from its name that Space Freeze was a spatial ability.

Yet among the attributes recorded in the cultivation technique, there seemed to be no spatial attribute.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Mo could only attribute it to the difference between worlds.

Just because no one had awakened a spatial ability in that world did not mean it was impossible in this one.

At once, Xu Mo planned to test this ability of his.

He closed his eyes and sensed it for a while. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have inexplicably gained a sense of control over the surrounding space.

With a thought,

Xu Mo slowly opened his eyes.

The area within a hundred meters around him seemed to have fallen into a state of time being frozen.

Even the air had stopped flowing.

The sounds of the sea and distant bird calls that he could hear before had vanished.

He took two steps out of the cave.

Xu Mo's eyes abruptly widened.

Within his field of vision, everything within a hundred meters seemed to have been peeled away from the world.

The seabirds flying in the sky and the seawater within the area were frozen in place, completely motionless.

"Too powerful. This is simply too powerful!"

Xu Mo let out an astonished exclamation.

By then, he roughly understood the purpose of this ability.

It could place the surrounding space into a state of stillness.

Unless someone possessed the ability to tear through space, it was nearly impossible to move even an inch within this space.

Only he could move freely.

Of course, Xu Mo could also consume energy to reinforce the frozen space.

The degree of reinforcement would increase along with his strength.

This ability was somewhat similar to stopping time.

The only difference was that after this ability was activated, people within the space could not move, but they could still think.

At that moment, Xu Mo felt a hollow sensation rise within his body.

He hurriedly dispelled the ability.

Corresponding to its immense power, this ability also consumed an enormous amount of energy.

When covering an area with a radius of a hundred meters like this, he estimated that he could only maintain it for a dozen seconds or so.

Letting out a long breath, Xu Mo suddenly smelled a pungent odor flooding his nostrils.

Seeing the impurities expelled from his body, Xu Mo leaped into the sea.
