Chapter 1078: Cosmic Tide
Fire Feather Star.
Deep within the planetary core.
Terrifying pressure permeated the surroundings, millions of times greater than the surface.
The scorching heat seemed capable of melting everything.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, enveloped by a layer of shimmering blue light, seemingly completely unaffected by these terrifying conditions.
Hoo. . . Ha. . .
He inwardly observed his Dantian, where the dark star he had formed during his Core Formation stage, now subtly adjusted, bore a remarkable resemblance to Fire Feather Star.
"Let's begin!"
"Gravity Well! Ignition!"
Following that, a colossal, sci-fi-esque machine beneath him began to roar.
A vast gravitational force emerged, firmly binding everything on the planet.
Not only that, the terrifying gravity radiated in all directions, attracting all dark matter and dark energy in the cosmos.
"The human body's small Dantian, the universe's great Dantian. . ."
At this moment, Fang Xi and this planet seemed to form a subtle connection.
He was located within the stellar core, like the planet's Golden Core; and the planet was located within the universe, much like the universe's Golden Core. . .
With each rotation of Fire Feather Star, terrifying dark energy was drawn in, entering Fang Xi's limbs and bones.
"Condense!"
Within Fang Xi's Dantian, a 'subspace crystal' burst forth with dazzling light, assisting him in permeating his limbs and bones with this dark energy, beginning his breakthrough!
"Planet-level! It's done!"
Time passed, unbeknownst to him. As if water naturally flowed into a channel, Fang Xi opened his eyes.
At this moment, he felt that this 'Fire Feather Star' had completely become his own. He could control its rotation with a mere thought, emitting gravity of varying strengths.
And with each rotation of the planet, his speed in absorbing dark energy was tens of thousands of times faster than when he was at the Satellite-level!
"The cultivation methods of this world are such that with each major realm breakthrough, the energy increases at an exponential explosion-level rate!"
After breaking through to the Planet-level, Fang Xi remained seated cross-legged, allowing the planet to silently operate, devouring cosmic energy.
"Wen Ge. . . I intend to enter seclusion here for some time. . ."
Although Fang Xi could now store Fire Feather Star within his Dantian's subspace, he still let it emit gravity to accelerate his cultivation.
Thinking of the mess on Emperor Star, he immediately decided to cultivate in seclusion here for a period.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this old man will personally guard you."
From the spaceship, Wen Ge's resolute voice sounded, "No one will disturb Your Highness. . ."
"Very good."
Fang Xi closed his communicator, then casually rubbed his fingers.
Streaks of crimson threads appeared around him, imbued with potent fire-attribute conceptual power.
If Wen Ge were to witness this scene, his eyes would surely pop out.
For this was none other than the power of the fire concept!
In this world, condensing concepts was extremely difficult. Generally speaking, to achieve Fang Xi's level, it would likely require a Red Giant Immortal, utilizing secret arts, to even come close!
But for Fang Xi, wielding conceptual power was as simple as eating and drinking.
After all, he was still an illusory True Spirit of a Dao Monarch!
Moreover, under Fang Xi's will, the Dao Seed of the fire attribute concept emerged, subtly merging with the planet's core, causing the surrounding temperature to rise even further.
"Generally speaking, ordinary planets cannot transform into Red Giants."
"The next step in Planet-level cultivation is to continuously transform one's own planet, and finally 'ignite' it. . ."
"If one comprehends the 'fire' concept beforehand, the success rate for future breakthroughs increases by at least thirty percent!"
"If other laws are comprehended, or what this world calls conceptual power, then it's almost a hundred percent!"
This was the key reason Fang Xi dared to walk the 'Gaia System' path.
What if the breakthrough success rate was low?
As long as the minimum requirements were met, with his comprehension of laws, the breakthrough success rate would be one hundred percent!
Even for future Neutron Star Immortals, the same held true!
As for Black Hole Immortals?
"At the very least, I can obtain the 'spacetime concept' in advance. . . adding another twenty percent to my breakthrough hope. . ."
"Sa Tuo said he was a genius, what was his probability of advancing to a Black Hole Immortal? One in a thousand?"
"Although advancing this way would likely make me a weakling among my peers. . . but my Planet-level crushes Satellite-level, Red Giant-level easily beats Planet-level, and Neutron Star-level can then contend with Red Giants and White Dwarfs. . . no big problem."
After a period of cultivation, feeling the Planet-level's cultivation speed far exceeding that of Satellite-level, Fang Xi was extremely satisfied. He then logged onto the network again and placed orders for 'Gaia System' Red Giant-level resources. . .
...
Lanikainia Empire.
Borderlands.
Boom!
In the cosmos, supernovae exploded one after another, emitting dazzling light.
Boundless flames and energy rays annihilated a Zerg army.
This Zerg army was entirely emerald green, resembling beetles, with scythe-like forelimbs. They were 'Green Scythe Worms,' the lowest-tier combat unit among the Zerg.
Zerg!
This was an extremely peculiar race in the cosmos, controlled by various 'Swarm Queens,' implementing a strict two-tiered pyramid structure within their race.
Within a race, there was only one supreme ruler, the Queen; all other Zerg were slaves and warriors.
More importantly, because these Zerg Queens possessed extremely powerful psychic abilities, capable of easily and precisely controlling every Zerg, and could also unleash mental storms capable of overthrowing an entire cosmic fleet, the Zerg's combat power was astonishing. Coupled with their terrifying reproductive capacity, they had been constantly embroiled in conflict with the Lanikainia Imperial Army in this cosmic domain, with neither side gaining a decisive upper hand."Captain, these supernova bombs are quite potent. . ."
From an unknown distance, various cheers echoed through the channel of a cosmic fleet.
"Keep it up, crush those disgusting Zerg. . ."
"Once we finish this job, we can go home and start a company. . ."
Amidst the shouts of approval, a sudden, emotionless mechanical voice rang out:
"Warning, warning. . . detecting high-risk psychic field fluctuations!"
"High-risk psychic field? No good, is it a Swarm Queen?"
The commander of the battleship's expression changed drastically: "Full psychic defense mechanisms on the vessel! Don't worry about energy, quick!"
Instantly, a bright purple protective shield appeared, silently enveloping the entire fleet.
And in the cosmos not far from the fleet, the void twisted, revealing a 'planet'!
Upon closer inspection, it was not a planet, but rather a spherical, hive-like existence.
Divine Soldier Ants, Quantum Bees, Crimson Tiger Worms. . .
Various kinds of Zerg crawled in and out of this honeycomb-like planetary structure.
And deep within the planet, a female creature, indescribably beautiful by the aesthetic standards of all races, opened her purple eyes, exuding an ineffable charm.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A storm swept over the fleet, yet left no trace in the cosmos.
—A mental storm!
The fleet fell silent at once. All the soldiers and officers of the Lanikainia Empire seemed to fall asleep, collapsing at their respective stations.
"Ah! I can't die!"
A silver streak of light appeared, directly detaching from the fleet and swiftly retreating backward.
This was the fleet's captain, a Neutron Star Immortal!
He retreated from the battlefield at light speed, and before long, returned to the Lanikainia Empire's first Northern Frontier defensive works, the stargate base camp.
Here, not only were there Imperial Marshals at the Black Hole Immortal level guarding, but also countless high-tech weapons and dense armies.
Through the stargate, this wartime base camp could receive aid from the Empire at any time.
Within the base camp, permanent defensive structures were built densely.
It could be said that with such preparations, even a Black Hole Immortal-level Swarm Queen wouldn't dare. . .
This Neutron Star Immortal was feeling the relief of surviving a disaster when his expression suddenly changed.
Behind him, as if two supergalactic clusters were colliding, terrifying energy shockwaves were released!
The range of this shockwave was cosmic, directly stirring up a vortex several light-years high, sweeping towards the Northern Frontier base camp like a tide. . .
Imperial Calendar, Fire Radiance Era, Year 88932.
Northern Fortress, fallen!
...
Fang Xi immersed himself in cultivation within the planetary core, almost forgetting the passage of time outside.
He didn't know if several years, decades, or even centuries had passed.
A vibration came from high in the sky, rousing him.
"What is this?"
A trace of bewilderment flashed in Fang Xi's eyes, then his thoughts stirred.
Whoosh!
Fire Feather Star instantly vanished, seeming to arrive at the center of his Dantian, slowly rotating.
With the power of this planet, every punch and palm he now delivered carried unimaginable force for ordinary people.
Not to mention the efficiency of absorbing cosmic dark energy. . .
'Is this the Planet-level? As expected, it's powerful in every aspect. . . '
Fang Xi flicked his sleeve and saw Wen Ge standing in the void, bowing with a hand pressed to his chest: "Your Highness Kāya, I am very sorry, if it weren't for an emergency, I would not have woken you. . ."
Wen Ge looked at Fang Xi at this moment, a strange thought flashing in his mind.
Although he had taken the most common path of advancement, for some unknown reason, when Prince Kāya stood before him, it made his heart tremble!
'I am clearly a Red Giant Immortal, yet why do I feel a hint of pressure? '
Wen Ge was utterly perplexed.
He did not know that after Fang Xi advanced to the 'Planet-level', his greatest improvement wasn't in strength, but in his comprehension of laws!
Now, with the power of his own planet, he could already leverage most laws, making his future advancement to the Red Giant-level practically assured.
Such a high concentration of conceptual power naturally made Wen Ge's heart palpitate.
In fact, it would be the same in a real fight. Although his own base value was low, the law multiplier he was applying was too high.
Fang Xi estimated that Wen Ge was no longer his match.
"What exactly happened that made you disturb my seclusion?"
He asked, with a trace of displeasure.
Wen Ge immediately felt a chill in his heart and quickly bowed, replying, "The Northern Army Camp was annihilated, and the Empire suffered a great defeat. . . a new round of conscription is underway."
"The Northern Frontier. . . suffered such a defeat?"
Fang Xi murmured, then said, "What does that have to do with me? The ten-thousand-year deadline shouldn't be up yet, should it?"
No update tonight
