Chapter 122 7 Times, Star Body Critical Point
The base of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
Time seemed to be frozen in place.
Lin Yuan stood amidst a blend of deep blue and dark gold light, one hand gripping a fragment of a King-level sect bone.
The section of the black door frame had already cracked in several places.
From each crack, a ghostly blue light surged out wildly.
The Sect Master's will, the remnant energy of the King's Gate, and the tide of the Main Star Gate—three completely different yet equally terrifying forces—were like three raging rivers, forcefully pouring into Lin Yuan's body.
His bones were trembling.
Blood was surging.
Deep within the muscles, strands of silvery starlight seemed to be forcibly ignited.
The system prompt remains in front of you.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 699999]
Just one more chance.
Just one more time.
But this last time felt like an entire world had separated us.
The sect leader's enormous, deep blue eyes looked down at him.
That's not the complete entity.
Yet it carried an air of aloof indifference.
It seemed as if it could already foresee Lin Yuan's physical body disintegrating, his blood and qi going out of control, his star furnace being contaminated, and his entire being being swallowed up by the gate bones.
"You can't handle it."
The sect leader's voice slowly echoed from within the sealed well.
"The human body has its limits."
"A door is not something you can eat."
Lin Yuan's palm had already cracked.
Dark golden blood seeped from between his fingers and was then absorbed back into his body by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
On his arm, streaks of silver-white star patterns emerged from deep within his skin.
Those are not external patterns.
Instead, the star-like patterns within the bones were so bright that they shone through the flesh and blood.
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 stood beside the well wall, his face deathly pale.
She could tell that Lin Yuan had reached his limit.
It is not the limit of will.
Rather, it is the limit that the physical body can bear.
The bone structure is too damaged.
The sect leader's will is too strong.
The main star gate tides are too violent.
Any one of these three forces is enough to corrupt or overwhelm an ordinary Marquis-level expert.
But Lin Yuan wanted to suppress them all into his own blood and qi.
This is not cultivation.
This is about forging yourself as if you were a collapsing star.
"Stop..."
Subject One spoke up instinctively.
"If you continue, you'll break."
Lin Yuan did not turn around.
He simply raised his eyes and looked at that giant, dark blue eye.
A trace of dark gold blood remained at the corner of his mouth.
"broken?"
He slowly tightened his five fingers.
The broken bone fragments made another ear-piercing cracking sound.
"Then press it until it doesn't break."
boom--!
The Ultimate Star Furnace roared to life.
The sound no longer resembled a furnace.
More like a dark gold star, it truly awakened within Lin Yuan's body.
The blood and qi, which had been almost out of control due to the impact of the three forces, suddenly sank inward.
It's not about backing down.
Instead, it collapses.
All the violent energy was forcibly dragged into the deepest part of Lin Yuan's body.
marrow.
blood.
heart.
Star Furnace.
Press it in inch by inch.
Grind it inch by inch.
Reconstructing it inch by inch.
Deep within Lin Yuan's bones, the previously discontinuous star patterns finally connected completely at this moment.
No longer just stars.
It's no longer a star line.
Instead, it is a complete miniature starry sky.
Within the dark gold skeleton, a silvery-white starry river swirls.
Each bone seemed to carry a compressed piece of stargate tidal wave.
As the blood flows, starlight rises and falls within the dark gold blood, like a true galaxy surging within the body.
Muscle fibers are reorganized layer by layer.
Beneath the skin, the star pattern flashed and disappeared.
Lin Yuan stood in the sealed well.
The old school uniforms are still there.
His aura was still forcibly suppressed on the surface of the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
But deep within his body, there was no longer a structure that an ordinary human should have.
The system notification finally exploded.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 700000]
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host! Your Qi and Blood physical compression has exceeded 700,000 times!]
[Reward Unlocked: Ultimate Star Body]
[Ultimate Star Body: The host's physical body has initially acquired the capacity to bear star gate level burdens]
[The efficiency of the Ultimate Star Furnace in refining is increased]
[Enhanced range and stability of the forbidden zone]
[The Ultimate Blood Shadow obtains a projection of the Star Body Skeleton]
[The Ultimate Blood Shadow can possess up to 80% of the original's combat power.]
[The Ultimate Blood Shadow can perform three stages of transformation in a short period of time]
boom--!!!
This moment.
Within Lin Yuan's body, it was as if a dark golden starry sky had truly lit up.
The remnant energy of the Fengwang Sect's bones, which was still frantically backfiring, was suppressed again by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
The azure gate patterns that the sect leader's will had penetrated into his body were also crushed one by one.
The violent energy of the main star gate tide no longer tore through his flesh and blood as before, but was instead carried by the star pattern skeleton layer by layer and sank into his blood and qi.
Subject Number One stared blankly at Lin Yuan.
She finally understood why those things hadn't crushed him.
It's not because Lin Yuan has no limits.
Instead, before he was crushed, he pushed his limits to an even higher level.
The sect leader's enormous, dark blue eyes paused for the first time.
A strange fluctuation finally appeared in that cold, indifferent will.
"Stargate-level capacity..."
"Your physical body..."
"What is it?"
Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.
Deep within his eyes, a dark golden starlight flickered.
"I'll eat your flesh."
The words fell.
Lin Yuan suddenly clenched his fist.
Click!
He crushed a corner of the fragment of the King-level gate bone.
A massive surge of ghostly blue residual energy erupted forth.
This time, however, those remaining abilities failed to force Lin Yuan to retreat.
Instead, it felt as if he were being dragged into his body by a fully formed dark gold star furnace.
The system indicated that the beeping continued.
[Detected residual energy at the King-level gate bone]
[Contamination being removed]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
But this time, the prompt is no longer a warning.
Instead, it involves refining and processing.
Stable absorption and refinement.
The sect leader's will sank.
"You're swallowing the door."
Lin Yuan looked at it.
"Weren't you just swallowing it?"
The giant, dark blue eye suddenly shrank.
Inside the sealed well, the sect leader's will truly erupted in fury for the first time.
Countless door shadows appeared from all directions.
Behind every door, there are whispers as deep as an abyss.
But Lin Yuan only took one step forward.
The forbidden realm of the ultimate path unfolds.
boom!
The Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain, which originally could only cover 30 meters, suddenly expanded after the Extreme Dao Star Body took shape.
Thirty meters.
Fifty meters.
Eighty meters.
The entire sealed well was shrouded in a heavy, dark golden aura.
All the dark blue door shadows were simultaneously pressed down and sank.
It wasn't purified.
They were not driven away.
Instead, they were like pieces of thin paper, crushed to the ground by a star.
Lin Yuan stood in the center of the forbidden area, his palm still clutching the fragment of the door bone.
The voice was calm.
"Now."
"What you should be worried about is not whether I can handle it."
"Is this wisp of your will enough for me to consume?"
……
Above the White Pagoda.
Qin Xuanxiao's territory of the Mountain and River Marquis has been suppressed to its limit.
The dim, yellow sun completely sank below the horizon.
Barren mountains rise endlessly, and the long river flows backward.
The entire domain transformed into a millstone, ready to crush the Blood Shadow completely.
Blood Shadow was surrounded by only a last sliver of Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain.
Six dark gold arms, three of which are covered in cracks.
The red lotus fire pattern was almost extinguished.
Everyone outside held their breath.
With this strike, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is likely to be defeated.
Song Li subconsciously closed her eyes.
Ji Qinghe's face turned pale.
Ning Wushuang's knuckles tightened as she gripped the sword.
Within the council of elders, many elders already displayed complex expressions.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people looked somber.
But many people felt that an uncontrollable ancient cultivator at the Marquis level would eventually be suppressed by Qin Xuanxiao.
Qin Xuanxiao's eyes were cold as he pressed his palm down.
"it's over."
boom--!
The land and rivers were completely united.
The dim, yellow sun slammed down on the head of the blood-red figure.
Blood Shadow's six arms support the sky.
The ruins of the white pagoda beneath our feet suddenly sank.
That last remaining forbidden area of the extreme realm finally emitted its final, deafening roar.
Click.
It looks like something broke.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was defeated?"
But the next moment.
They realized something was wrong.
After the cracking sound, the Blood Shadow did not collapse.
in contrast.
Suddenly, a light shone within him.
A dark golden light.
The light did not emanate from the surface of flesh and blood.
Instead, it shines from deep within the bones.
One by one, dark gold star bones slowly emerged within Blood Shadow's body.
On the skeleton, silver-white star patterns lit up one by one.
The dark gold arm, which had been cracking, stopped cracking at this moment.
The red lotus fire pattern lit up again.
And it was even more intense than before.
Qin Xuanxiao's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What?"
He took a half step back for the first time.
It wasn't because Blood Shadow made a move.
Rather, it was because he sensed that the level of the blood-red figure before him was changing.
It's not as simple as a sudden surge in energy.
Rather, the load-bearing structure has changed.
The original Blood Shadow resembled a powerful clone condensed from extremely heavy blood and qi.
But now.
Inside that clone, there was an extra skeleton.
A pair of dark gold star bones.
That star bone is not a physical entity.
It's more like a projection.
However, this made the Blood Shadow's entire existence go from "incomplete" to nearly complete.
In the small courtyard of the Star Kingdom.
The connection between Lin Yuan's true form and the Blood Shadow suddenly deepened.
The channel for remote power supply to the Extreme Star Furnace has been completely expanded.
The projection of the star skeleton within the Blood Shadow's body echoed Lin Yuan's original Extreme Dao Star Body.
A system notification appears.
[The Extreme Blood Shadow has obtained the projection of the Star Body Skeleton]
[Extreme Star Furnace Remote Power Supply Enhancement]
[Current Blood Shadow combat power cap increased]
[Blood Shadow can perform three stages of transformation in a short period of time]
Above the White Pagoda.
Blood Shadow slowly raised his head.
His black robe fluttered in the wind.
The six dark gold arms solidified again.
The red lotus fire pattern on the forehead of the mask looks as if it is truly burning.
The Mountain and River Marquis Domain, which had been pressing down on him to the brink of collapse, was now being held back by an even heavier force.
Click.
A desolate mountain in Qin Xuanxiao's mountain and river domain suddenly split open from the bottom.
Then, the second one.
The third one.
The flowing river was brought to a standstill by an invisible weight.
The dim, yellow sun was now only a foot above the blood-red shadow's head, unable to descend even a fraction further.
The area surrounding the White Pagoda was deathly silent.
Everyone who had just thought that the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was bound to lose now stared wide-eyed.
Song Li opened her eyes and stared blankly at the black-robed figure who had straightened up again.
"He...didn't lose?"
Ji Qinghe's throat was dry.
"It's not just that we didn't lose."
"He seems to have... gotten stronger."
Ning Wu's eyes trembled.
"Breakthrough during battle?"
"No."
"It's not a breakthrough."
She herself found it absurd as she spoke.
The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator didn't seem to have broken through on his own.
It's more like some true core behind him suddenly underwent a transformation.
In the council of elders, the expressions of many elders changed drastically.
"What happened?"
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was clearly already pushed to his limit just now!"
Why did his aura suddenly change?
"What is that star bone?"
Marquis Zhenxing finally stood up.
His gaze was fixed on the dark gold star bone that emerged from within Blood Shadow's body.
Then, he looked at the dark blue crack at the bottom of the white tower.
He finally confirmed it.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator is not the true form.
At least, the one fighting Qin Xuanxiao now is not his true form.
The one who truly completed the transformation was the person below.
Marquis Zhenxing said in a low voice:
"I see."
"The blood-red face is a clone."
Inside the council chamber, an elder suddenly looked at him.
"What?"
Marquis Zhenxing offered no explanation.
Because at this moment, explanations are meaningless.
Above the White Pagoda.
Qin Xuanxiao's expression changed for the first time.
He stared at the blood-red shadow.
"You were hiding your strength just now?"
Blood Shadow slowly straightened up.
Dark gold star bones were faintly visible beneath the black robe.
The crimson lotus flames pulsed fiercely.
His voice was low, hoarse, and cold.
"Just now?"
"I just haven't waited for it yet."
Qin Xuanxiao's eyes darkened.
"What are you waiting for?"
Blood Shadow raised his head.
The six dark gold arms slowly clenched into fists.
The projection of the star skeleton within the body is fully connected to the remote power supply of the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
An aura of pressure, several times heavier than before, slowly spread from his body.
Qin Xuanxiao's Mountain and River Marquis Domain was actually forced back an inch by this aura of power.
It's this one inch.
It sent shockwaves through the minds of all the spectators.
Qin Xuanxiao's domain.
I was pushed back.
Blood Shadow stared at Qin Xuanxiao.
The eyes behind the mask were as cold as an abyss.
"Now."
"It's my turn."
