A Dramatic Surge in Strength
In fact, given Xingtian's current strength, conventional hydrogen bombs would not cause him any harm at all.
Even if a dozen or so explode simultaneously, it's still just a drizzle.
However, the fusion reactions in the radiation zones of superstars are completely different from those in hydrogen bombs.
Not only is its power far greater than that of a hydrogen bomb, but its density is also terrifyingly high.
Adjacent fusion reactions often overlap.
Eventually, quantitative changes may even lead to qualitative changes.
This forced the Evil Corpse within to be extremely cautious.
While controlling the Evil Corpse to continue heading deeper into the sun, he constantly observed the surrounding situation.
Once a region that could cause a qualitative change is identified, the subsequent route will be adjusted immediately.
Avoid head-on confrontations as much as possible.
Even so, there are still situations where you can't dodge in time.
The powerful explosion sent shivers down Xingtian's spine, causing his internal organs to churn.
Even the Gene Furnace, which Yi Xuan had focused on strengthening, suffered some damage.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Corpse realized it could not go any further.
If he continues down this path, even if he encounters the Three-Legged Golden Crow, Xingtian's strength may be reduced to less than one-tenth.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn't even have the ability to escape.
Suddenly, Xingtian, who was advancing at great speed, stopped.
It stood firm amidst the surging radiation zone.
The eyes on its chest slowly closed, while the gaping maw on its abdomen opened slightly.
He entered a state of cultivation directly under the control of the Evil Corpse.
Although the radiation zone is fraught with danger.
However, the solar energy within it is exceptionally abundant.
Therefore, this place presents both opportunities and challenges for Xingtian.
Xingtian, who was meditating cross-legged, absorbed the terrifying solar energy around him while constantly shifting his body to avoid the explosive points of qualitative change as much as possible.
"Boom!"
Another unnoticed explosive device detonated right next to him.
The Evil Corpse, which was in a state of cultivation, was shaken so badly that its internal organs shifted.
A closer look reveals that the area between the teeth of the large mouth on the abdomen is now bright red, clearly indicating a serious injury.
Although the Evil Corpse had tried its best to dodge, it had to control Xingtian to dodge while also observing the surrounding situation and analyzing the location of the next explosion point.
These two tasks, which shouldn't have been a distraction in the first place, were now concentrated on the Evil Corpse alone.
It's bound to happen soon enough that a ghost has appeared.
Fortunately, the power of the Gene Furnace was soon demonstrated.
As he refines the solar energy, Xingtian's injuries are rapidly healing.
And the speed of repair quickly reached a kind of balance with the speed of injury.
Xingtian's strength also slowly increased through this cycle of destruction and repair.
Although this improvement won't have much effect in the short term.
But if this continues, one day the scales of victory will tip in favor of the Evil Corpse.
Fifty years later, the Evil Corpse located in the radiation layer seemed to have completely immersed itself in cultivation.
It didn't move at all.
They don't even pay attention to potential breaking news happening around them.
"Boom!"
A bomb suddenly detonated next to the Evil Corpse.
But the Evil Corpse remained completely still.
If it weren't for the blood streaks in its abdomen and mouth, one would really think that the Evil Corpse was already able to withstand the explosion of the radiation zone.
However, the blood in his mouth disappeared very quickly.
Indeed, Xingtian repaired the damage in less than a few minutes.
Fifty years ago, this would have been impossible.
This explains why Xingtian remained motionless and stopped dodging.
Since any injury can be healed in a very short time, why bother hiding?
It would be better to invest that time and energy in cultivation and strive to eliminate the threat of the radiation zone as soon as possible.
Another fifty years have passed!
At this point, the explosions in the radiation zone could no longer cause Xingtian any harm.
But the Evil Corpse did not wake up on its own.
Still in a state of cultivation.
A century of cultivation had caused Xingtian's physique to grow even larger.
In terms of height, it is approaching 20,000 meters.
However, as his cultivation progressed further, Xingtian's height increased more and more slowly.
The Evil Corpse speculated that once Xingtian broke through the 20,000-meter mark, his strength would undergo an unprecedented qualitative change.
Even if we can't fight the Three-Legged Golden Crow in its normal state, we believe we can still handle a sleeping Three-Legged Golden Crow.
It is precisely because of this consideration that the Evil Corpse has no intention of stopping.
He planned to make a concerted effort to help Xingtian break through the 20,000-meter barrier in height.
However, based on the current progress, the required time is unlikely to be short.
The Evil Corpse remained immersed in this relentless cultivation for another hundred years.
Xingtian's body was getting closer and closer to the altitude of 20,000 meters.
In the end, the difference may be as small as a few micrometers.
This made the Evil Corpse, which was cultivating, extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, he desperately wished he hadn't activated Xingtian prematurely.
In that case, Xingtian would be depicted as a normal human being.
At least it has a head!
Given the current situation, even with longer hair, it would be easy to surpass that height.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life.
The Evil Corpse can only be accumulated little by little.
One micrometer, two micrometers, three micrometers!
Xingtian's growth rate was even slower than that of an ordinary human.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off.
In the very end, Xingtian managed to grow that last micrometer.
They successfully reached an altitude of 20,000 meters.
But then, the Evil Corpse found itself losing control of Xingtian.
Xingtian, having surpassed 20,000 meters in height, did not stop growing; on the contrary, its growth rate accelerated.
It started out growing at a tiny micrometer, but in less than a few seconds, it grew to several meters.
What's alarming is that this trend continues to expand.
Xingtian's body quickly surpassed a height of 25,000 meters, and was still growing rapidly.
Its belly mouth was already wide open.
The suction force even created a whirlwind within the radiation zone.
It is filled with countless solar energies.
However, all of these were beyond the control of the Evil Corpse.
He can sense everything about Xingtian now, but he can't control even a single finger of him.
In the perception of the Evil Corpse, Xingtian's height was like that of the mythical World Tree, constantly growing taller.
Thirty thousand!
Forty thousand!
Sixty thousand!
Eighty thousand!
It wasn't until an altitude of 90,000 meters that the speed finally began to decrease.
In the end, Xingtian's height was fixed at 99,000 meters, and the Evil Corpse finally regained control over him.
I loosely clenched my fists, feeling the surging power within my body.
The Evil Corpse's eyes were now filled with fighting spirit.
"What is there to fear from Three-Legged Golden Crow?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xingtian vanished from his spot in a flash.
His increased strength has enabled him to sense the location of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, the Evil Corpse controlled Xingtian to rush in that direction.
