Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Chapter 441 Transformation
"Li Yi is indeed a good kid. I estimate he's almost as strong as I was fifty years ago."

The more Lin Jianlong used his divine light to dispel the aftershocks of Li Yi's breakthrough, the more astonished he became.

Just as Li Yi guessed, Lin Jianlong had already broken through to an extremely profound realm.

Even Qin Longchuan, who is currently at the demigod level, is no match for Lin Jianlong.

Fortunately, Li Yi's astonishing transformation seems to have finally come to an end.

The aftershocks on the field gradually subsided.

The three of them stared intently as they watched Li Yi slowly finish his practice.

The astonishing breathing gradually subsided.

In return, his skin pores seemed to be subtly and slowly absorbing and releasing free energy.

The free electricity he was absorbing from the outside world was already saturated.

Not only that, but he also discovered that he could now absorb free energy other than free electricity, whether it was because the Netherworld Body Tempering Technique broke through a certain limit of his physical body or because of the combination of multiple body tempering techniques.

Except for a few types of special energy that he cannot absorb, he can quickly absorb most common energy and store it in his cells, turning it into pure cellular energy.

In other words, he has now basically completed the transformation of the ship.

That is, he officially became a cosmic life form, capable of living freely in outer space.

Various forms of dark energy and radiation in the universe will no longer hinder or harm him, but will instead become one of his aids.

This was an unexpected surprise.

"It seems that when the physical body is tempered to its limit, even without deliberately using the special radiation of the super flagship to strengthen oneself, one can freely complete the transformation into a ship."

Li Yi mentally reviewed the situation.

In addition to that, he naturally gained other benefits.

One aspect is the improvement in physical strength.

He reached out and pinched it, feeling it over, and concluded that he had reached a physical strength strong enough to easily defeat seven or eight Zhao Hes.

Basically, he has reached the pinnacle of physical strength.

He hadn't tested it to its limit, and he wasn't sure if he had reached the demigod level.

But thinking about it, even if it's not as good, it's not far off.

Perhaps, as Lin Jianlong said before, it is the physical body of a half-step demigod?

No, it should be said that it was a demigod's physical body that had just barely reached the threshold.

He chuckled inwardly.

Beyond that, the biggest surprise was the soul aspect.

All I can say is that Flame's physique is indeed a simplified version of his.

The Netherworld Body Tempering Method, based on this, can significantly increase the remaining capacity of the soul after continuous tempering.

In just two hours, he gained about fifty or sixty more souls.

It's comparable to the effect of him frantically absorbing spacetime memory fragments for a week.

At this point, his remaining soul quantity returned to an astonishing number of over 200.

During this transformation of his soul, the divine genes within him also increased.

Four were generated in just two hours, which is quite astonishing.

Keep in mind that even at his current training speed, it would take him a week to get one.

After all, as his physical body strengthens, the efficiency of generating divine genes continues to decline.

With such a rapid increase in this instance, plus the accumulation over the past week, his divine genes have reached approximately 4.7 cores.

It's very close to having 5 cores.

The total amount of divinity has quietly surpassed the limit of the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, and has initially reached the level of the strongest.

At this point, even his weakest point—the total amount of divinity—had reached an astonishing level.

Although the difference between the soul and the body is still significant, it is still quite astonishing.

It's worth mentioning that even though his total divine essence had reached a level comparable to that of a supreme expert, there didn't seem to be any astonishing transformation. Li Yi thought to himself, perhaps his previous Prison-Suppressing Divinity had already undergone a transformation beforehand.

The quality of Zhenyu Divinity is quite high. He has tested it in actual combat and found it to be slightly better than Qin Longchuan, who is a newly promoted demigod.

This is, after all, a special divine power capable of efficiently controlling space and time; such quality is not unreasonable.

Therefore, he estimated that the total amount of Supreme-level power was still insufficient to allow his divinity to undergo further transformation.

It is estimated that a divine transformation will only occur after certain conditions are met, or after an astonishing understanding of the characteristics of spacetime and other concepts.

Of course, these are not the biggest gains.

It was his physical body.

It's not about strength, but the physical body, that has subtly gained an air of immortality.

Yes, it is immortal.

It was a subtle feeling, but Li Yi did indeed have a slight sense of it.

This so-called undying aura was something he had never sensed in either Qin Longchuan or Yan, these two demigods.

Each cell is like an independent individual, possessing extremely vigorous vitality.

Moreover, it is extremely sturdy.

Each one individually seems to possess the characteristic of being able to survive in temperatures of thousands of degrees.

A sudden realization dawned on Li Yi.

This is a genetic defect that, after being thoroughly repaired through various body-strengthening methods, results in the physical body reaching a certain limit and exhibiting certain characteristics.

It is the physical body that connects with the divine, reaching the level of a demigod through pure physical means, rather than through divine genes.

Compared to other demigod bodies, his strength, speed, physical potential, and survivability are all slightly superior to theirs.

"I see."

"The so-called demigod, the realm of gods, is not a change brought to intelligent beings by divine genes."

"It is a natural transformation that occurs when the physical body, soul, divinity, primordial core... any of them reaches this limit."

"This is the natural order."

"Therefore, even though my divine genes are still far from being the strongest, I can still naturally step into the realm of gods after my physical body reaches its limit."

"Normal people undergo a complete physical transformation and enter the realm of gods through the amplification of the supreme primordial core."

“And I can achieve the same effect by using other paths.”

"This shows that in addition to physical demigods, there are also soul demigods and divine demigods."

"The physical demigod has endowed me with a trace of immortality that no other demigod possesses."

"So, if I don't use the Supreme Yuan Core, but instead bring my soul and divinity to the demigod level respectively, can I also have the same special transformation?"

"Although my total soul volume and strength are high, I am still quite far from the demigod level."

"Next, I can try to start from this path."

After reviewing the situation, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Ahead, Tan Yaozu and Xiao Pingchuan exchanged wistful glances, a mixture of relief and envy.

Having just been reprimanded by Lin Jianlong, it's no wonder they felt conflicted upon seeing Li Yi's breakthrough.

Lin Jianlong stared at Li Yi, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

This is... the scent of immortality?

This kid seems to be walking on an incredibly smooth and prosperous road.

In his eyes, Li Yi's physical body had already exhibited an extremely special glassy quality.

Space and time seemed to be subtly isolated from his body, unable to exert any further influence on him.

　My mom suddenly felt dizzy this morning, so I took her to the doctor. Luckily, it wasn't an acute illness; it was just cervical spondylosis compressing blood vessels, and she'll feel better once it subsides. We also had guests over this afternoon, so this chapter is a bit late...emmm, updates will be on schedule from now on.
