High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 256 The Power of the Mysterious Body! Overwhelmingly Destructive! (Request for Monthly Pass)_3
Compared to the cultivation difficulty of the Ninefold Star Technique, branding the Starmarks was secondary.
Furthermore, the “Stellar Mysterious Body” is the super simplified version of the “All Things Divine Body” of the Nine Layers… in terms of complexity and profundity, it is far beyond the ordinary Fifth Layer Star Technique.
“The first layer of branding this Star Technique is relatively easy,” Li Yuan pondered carefully.
Even though the first layer of the Starmark of the “Stellar Mysterious Body” is complex, with Li Yuan’s current level of spiritual power and skills, understanding it was quite easy.
Less than an hour had passed.
Li Yuan had already started to activate the Origin Power within his body, beginning to cultivate the “Stellar Mysterious Body.”
If one were to cultivate the “Great Earth Divine Body” or “All Things Divine Body,” then rare and extraordinary external materials would be needed to help with the initiation.
But the “Stellar Mysterious Body”? That required no external materials.
One could initiate directly with Origin Power.
Hum~ The Fifth Layer Star Veins within Li Yuan’s body operated, with Origin Power surging fiercely.
“Branding!” Li Yuan started trying to imprint Starmarks on the Fifth Layer Star Veins, and he achieved success directly.
One!
Ten!
One hundred… At first, there were occasional failures, but as time passed, Li Yuan grew more adept, and his speed increased.
With the changes in the Star Meridians, the Life Star with the imprinted Starmarks was gradually affecting Li Yuan’s body, causing the sinews, marrow, and flesh throughout his body to undergo Transformation.
“Boom~” His body, which had previously evolved to its limit, began a further evolution with the infiltration of Origin Power.
“Body evolution! Strength increase.” Li Yuan could clearly feel his skin, muscles, and bones all becoming tougher and more powerful.
This was the Body Refining Star Technique!
Often also referred to as the Divine Body Technique.
Many Slaughter Star Techniques are based on the Star Meridians rotating and bursting out, combined with Origin Power to unleash terrifying combat power… but the Body Refining Star Technique utilizes the Star Meridians to make the body evolve in an all-round manner, further still.
“The Body Refining Star Technique is the foundation of all Star Techniques,” Li Yuan reflected inwardly, “For a Martial Artist’s cultivation, flying through the skies and tunnelling through the earth… the soul is the source, the flesh is the cornerstone.”
“Without the soul, even the strongest body is but lifeless matter.”
“But without the body, even the strongest soul is but a rootless tree, easily dissipated.”
This is also why pure Spiritual Shocks are unlikely to directly obliterate an enemy.
Top tier fighters, each with Unity of body and spirit, as if defending against external Spiritual Shocks on their home ground, can greatly utilize the strength of the body… warding off Spiritual Shocks naturally becomes effortless.
Only that which is material is real.
…
Time passed, and five hours later, the initial stage of Li Yuan’s body’s Transformation was complete.
“I’ve cultivated the ‘Stellar Mysterious Body’ to the First Order Limit,” Li Yuan sensed the changes in his Physical Quality: “The Fist Strength should be about ten percent greater than before.”
A ten percent increase in strength, compared to Li Yuan’s current Physical Quality, was already terrifying, especially since this was achieved without a change in Life Level.
Li Yuan’s Life Level was still only at level 26.
“With just a normal state, the strength has increased by ten percent,” Li Yuan revealed a slight smile: “What if I truly employ a Star Technique?”
A Divine Body Technique usually has two states.
The first is the fundamental Transformation of the sinews, marrow, and flesh due to the changes in the Star Meridians, which is permanent.
The second is the complete activation of the Star Meridians with the Origin Power rotating, erupting the real ‘Divine Body’, which greatly increases Origin Power consumption and similarly makes strength skyrocket.
“Stellar Mysterious Body.” At the thought of Li Yuan, the Star Meridians operated instantly, and tens of thousands of Life Stars simultaneously shone brightly.
The surging Origin Power brought about a qualitative change in Li Yuan’s body.
Crackle~
Sounds of sinews and bones crackling erupted, and Li Yuan’s stature soared swiftly from one meter eighty-five to three meters tall, his skin even faintly taking on a bronze hue.
“Such a powerful force,” Li Yuan was astonished in his heart, feeling the swelling power within.
More than twice as strong as before?
Boom!
Suddenly, with a fierce clenching of his fist, Li Yuan punched out with terrifying speed, causing the air to roar and explode.
“This punch?” Li Yuan’s eyes brightened.
He had a feeling that if he were to encounter Mo Hu again, he might be able to kill his opponent with the absolute power of a single punch.
“No wonder his strength had transformed so greatly after he cultivated just one Star Technique, probably only the Second Layer Star Technique or Third Layer Star Technique,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Moreover, this was still only the First Order Limit of the “Stellar Mysterious Body”. What about when he cultivated to the Second Order Limit?
By then, the strength Li Yuan could unleash would only be more exaggerated.
“No wonder, Gu You said,”
“If I could cultivate the ‘Great Earth Divine Body’ to the Second Order Limit, I would have the basis to kill a Flying Heaven warrior beyond my level,” a gleam flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.
The combat power enhancement brought by powerful Star Techniques was indeed astonishing.
An average Origin Martial Artist, even a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, due to inadequate skills and level of spiritual power, usually only cultivates up to the Third Layer Star Technique.
Genius Origin Martial Artists often strive to practice the Fifth Layers Star Technique, Sixth Layer Star Technique.
And Li Yuan? He started with the Fifth Layer Star Technique, with his ultimate goal being the cultivation of the Seventh Layer Star Technique and even— the Ninefold Star Technique.
“What level of strength would a ‘All Things Divine Body’, revered by Divine beings, reach?” Li Yuan contemplated silently.
The thought of cultivating the supreme ‘All Things Divine Body’ Star Technique soon, then returning to the Hall of Inheritance to see Gu You’s expression, filled Li Yuan with anticipation.
“Continue, see if I can cultivate to the Second Layer,” Li Yuan calmed his mind, continuing to comprehend the Second Layer Starmarks of the “Stellar Mysterious Body.”
The degree of mystery and profundity skyrocketed instantly.
It was at least a hundred times more complicated.
“This is tough,” Li Yuan felt the challenge.
Li Yuan also understood that for many Top Grade Origin Martial Artists practicing Star Techniques, just the time spent mulling over and understanding Starmarks is counted in ‘years’.
