Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 302 Pantheon, Defensive Spirit Armor

A moment later

Private villa

The magnificent starlight flowed as if it were a tangible substance, illuminating the entire room like a miniature universe.

The [Stellar Origin Core Fragment] floated in front of Li Xijun, and strands of incomparably pure stellar origin power were slowly drawn out and integrated into his limbs and bones, propelling the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" to a higher level.

Within the inner universe, the radiance of the Ziwei Emperor Star grew ever brighter, and the trajectories of the celestial sphere seemed to become even more mysterious.

Lisa did not leave; she quietly stood guard until she sensed that Li Xijun had completed the initial refining process and his breathing had stabilized. Only then did she slowly speak, her voice breaking the silence of the cultivation room:

"hope-jun, there is another important matter concerning the future that I need to tell you in advance so that you can weigh it carefully."

The starlight surrounding Li Xijun subsided slightly, and he opened his eyes, which seemed to reflect the Milky Way. He asked curiously, "What is it?"

"About a year from now," Lisa said with unprecedented seriousness, "a mythical world classified as top secret within the Federation will open in a specific star system. Its entrance will be located in a gravitational anomaly zone near our extraterrestrial base planet, Extraterrestrial Base One."

"That place is marked on an ancient star map as the ruins of the Pantheon."

Lisa paused briefly, seemingly organizing her thoughts to describe this particular presence more clearly:

"Based on the fragmented information we deciphered at great cost, we speculate that the civilization to which the Pantheon belongs, in some untraceable ancient era, was probably no less prosperous than our current Anagard gods, and may even have gone further in the exploration of life forms and laws."

"However, such a glorious civilization was completely wiped out by an unknown and incomprehensible terrifying force, leaving only this broken ruin filled with sorrow and destruction, which periodically drifts and reappears in space."

She explained in detail the rules and special characteristics of this place:

"Because of its 'death' characteristic, the interface between the Pantheon and the material world is extremely unstable and full of randomness. Its opening cycle is completely unpredictable, ranging from three to five years to more than half a century of silence."

"Furthermore, according to our deep space monitoring and intelligence analysis, it is not only our Earth Federation that has mastered the coordinates of its entrance passage. There are at least two mythical world civilizations with similar strength to us, as well as the Anagard Gods, a special race with extremely strong individual strength, who are also eyeing it covetously."

"The most critical limitation is that although the spatial structure of the Pantheon ruins is damaged, its underlying laws are still strong, and the highest energy level that it can stably accommodate is limited to the Golden Core realm."

"This means that the most powerful forces that will enter this realm will be Golden Core cultivators from various civilizations, or beings with equivalent combat strength."

"The danger is undeniable," Lisa said without reservation.

"That place is a true battlefield. Not only do you have to face competitors from other powerful civilizations, but the residual law traps in the ruins themselves, the uncontrolled energy turbulence, and the ancient creations that may be sleeping or mutating in the ruins are all deadly."

"Each opening is a brutal selection process, and many geniuses and strong individuals have perished within it."

"However," she changed the subject, a hint of longing in her eyes, "it is precisely because of its past glory and sudden destruction that the opportunities lost within the Pantheon are enough to drive any cultivator mad. Lost inheritances, timeless treasures, even that civilization's unique understanding of the laws of the universe... any one of these, once revealed, would be priceless."

"The Federation's top-secret files clearly record more than one case of a powerful individual who was originally stuck at the peak of the Outer Realm, but after obtaining an astonishing opportunity in the Pantheon, broke through their bottleneck, condensed their Golden Core, and underwent a complete transformation within a few months, becoming a pillar of the Federation. This is the ultimate stage where one gambles with their life and exchanges courage for their future."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Diana and Yae Hiiro, who were in the same year as you in the National Tournament, the outdoor geniuses trained by the seven extraterrestrial bases, the newly promoted Golden Core warriors, and the strong members of the Anagard God Clan will all be going in."

"Therefore, after several assessments, the Federal Supreme Council has decided to leave the decision to you. Therefore, I have been instructed to inform you in advance to give you ample time to make the most thorough preparations. Whether you go or not is entirely your decision."

Li Xijun listened quietly and nodded slightly.

He probably understood what the Federation meant.

Such places certainly present great opportunities, but also carry considerable dangers.

Therefore, the Federation cannot be sure whether it is good or bad to send a genius like him to such a place.

Let Li Xijun make the decision himself.

As for Li Xijun

An ancient ruin that can only be fully explored by those at the Golden Core stage, a civilization that once rivaled the Anagard gods.

Such opportunities are indeed very valuable.

Within a year, with the support of unlimited federal resources, Li Xijun is at least 80% confident that he can break through to the third level of the outer realm, condense his own unique Dharma form, and achieve the realm of Dharma form master.

At that time, with his foundational strength far surpassing that of his peers, coupled with the terrifying killing power of the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter," the White Dragon's [Power] will be able to slaughter even true Golden Core Realm warriors and the Anagard God Clan.

not to mention,

He also has the means to travel between worlds and escape. Previously, when facing the Emperor-level God King Otto, Li Xijun was confident that he could successfully escape.

so.

"This Pantheon ruins are worth a visit!" Li Xijun had already made up his mind.

"Understood, Lisa. I've noted this down and will plan it as one of the core objectives for the coming year. I will give you a clear answer in a year."

Although he was confident, Li Xijun didn't rush to respond. There was still plenty of time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Seeing that he had grasped the deeper meaning, Lisa said no more and quietly left the cultivation room, restoring tranquility to Li Xijun.

However, Li Xijun did not immediately continue to refine the Star Source Core.

Opportunities are important, but ensuring you survive and maximize your gains from them is equally crucial.

He activated his personal terminal again and retrieved the "Spirit Weapon Customization Application" that had been submitted long ago but remained unresolved.

His repeated fierce battles with the Angel King of the Seven Gods Church and even the will of the God of Machines, especially his experience of finally confronting the authority of the gods, gave him a clearer understanding of his own power system and a longer-term plan.

"Attack methods..."

Li Xijun examined the cards he possessed.

"The 'Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter' is an unparalleled sword technique at the Dharma Body level. Its offensive power is the pinnacle I currently possess. The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Twin Swords are also spiritual weapons that perfectly complement the sword technique, one for offense and one for defense, subtly embodying the Dao of the cycle of life and death. Moreover, I also possess the Night Emperor Sword Embryo."

"Therefore, even if I lack a pure sword-type spiritual weapon for direct attacks, it won't have a significant impact on my overall combat strength. I can make up for it by improving my swordsmanship."

"On the other hand, regarding defense," he calmly analyzed his own shortcomings.

"Although I have survived the tribulation of lightning and my mental image has been refined to pure yang, greatly increasing my defensive power, my mental image is more inclined towards protection of the soul and magic."

"When facing the unpredictable methods of higher-level Golden Core martial artists, Dharma Aspect Grandmasters, or even gods, or the wide-range attacks of higher-level beings, a powerful, close-fitting defensive spiritual weapon becomes crucial."

He deeply understands the principle that "you can only contribute if you are alive".

A genius whose offense and defense are unbalanced is more likely to die young.

and,

Li Xijun was very clear about the technological advantages of the Global Federation:

"The Federation's research in areas such as energy matrices, bio-nanotechnology, and the fusion of runes and technology far surpasses that of many mythical civilizations."

"Their technological expertise in advanced nanosuits, bio-engineered armor, and self-adaptive, self-repairing composite spirit weapon armor is unparalleled."

"The defensive spirit weapon, created by the Federation's top 'Spirit Weapon Research Institute,' has an extremely high minimum performance level, with stability and reliability far exceeding that of other weapons, and may even integrate some unexpected auxiliary functions."

Being strong in offense but weak in defense is a trap that many ambitious young people easily overlook.

Li Xijun was determined to make up for this weakness and achieve a qualitative leap in his survival ability, sustained combat capability, and adaptability to extreme environments.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

His fingers moved quickly across the virtual screen, completely deleting the original draft request for "a sword-type spirit weapon that is compatible with the lightning attribute" and re-entering it as "Request to customize a set of all-around, growable defensive spirit weapon armor".

He provided a very detailed explanation in the additional technical requirements section:

1. Ultimate Defense: Requires extremely high resistance to physical impacts, spiritual energy attacks, and attacks from spiritual weapons.

2. Growth potential: The battle armor should have good adaptability and growth potential. The core materials should be able to gradually unlock their potential as the host's cultivation level increases, or they can be upgraded by smelting rare materials later.

3. Form Adaptation: The armor form must be highly flexible and must not affect the activation of the star power of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" to ensure compatibility with the spiritual power activation of the four elements, lightning, and star attributes of one's own cultivation technique.

4. Auxiliary functions: Integrate advanced environmental adaptation systems as much as possible, such as various harsh mythological world environments such as vacuum, deep sea, highly toxic, and high radiation.

After repeatedly confirming that all requirements were correct and setting the highest level of confidentiality and priority, Li Xijun uploaded this important application, which concerned his future security and combat capabilities, through his personal terminal.

This document instantly triggered an alert from the highest levels of federal authority.

Almost instantly, the encryption and approval were personally carried out by the rotating Vajra Realm Pillar of the Martial Arts Hall.

An invisible, encrypted message traversed vast spatial distances and was delivered directly to the heavily guarded Federal Central Spirit Weapon Design and Manufacturing Bureau located at Extraterrestrial Base 3.

A top-secret project, bringing together the Federation's highest levels of materials science, energy science, rune technology, and bioengineering, to create an "unbreakable barrier" tailored for the future Martial Saint, has been officially launched.

At the same time, after doing all this, Li Xijun finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and her eyes regained their firmness and focus.

He once again focused his mind on his body, fully guiding the power of the [Star Core Essence], continuously absorbing the power formed within it to fill his own acupoints, and constantly progressing towards the third level of the Outer Realm.

Next, he will not only face the crisis of the awakening of the gods in the Great Sheng world,

Similarly, the following year, though seemingly long, was incredibly precious for those who would be competing against geniuses from all realms and even Golden Core experts on the ancient battlefield known as the Pantheon.

He must become stronger.
