High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"1000 stars?! That's ten million combat power?!" Su Jie was completely stunned when he saw the system notification.

He was just feeling smug about his nearly 5 combat power, thinking it was enough to make him stand out in Linjiang and even shine in the martial arts exam.

But now, the system has directly shown him a goal he can only look up to—1000 stars!

He's not even 5 stars yet, so 1000 stars is like a mortal looking up at the stars—completely out of reach!

An unprecedented sense of insignificance welled up in my heart, but what followed was an even stronger fighting spirit and a broader vision!

"So the true path to becoming a strongman has only just begun..." Su Jie took a deep breath, his gaze passing through the system interface, as if he could see that towering peak that existed in the future, one that he would have to spend his entire life climbing.

"Martial Aperture, Meridian Condensation, Bone Tempering... Is the path beyond that measured in 'stars'?"

He looked at the [Time-Space Dao Eye] crystal, which exuded an alluring yet incredibly dangerous aura, and carefully "stored" it in the safest area of ​​the system space.

This is not a power he can covet at this stage, but it is his future direction and a goal he must achieve!

"1000 stars... Space-Time Dao Eye..." Su Jie deeply imprinted these two words in his heart. "Just wait, one day I will reach that realm and personally merge with you!"

Although this lottery did not grant him any immediately usable power, it opened a door to the world of true powerhouses, allowing him to clearly see his own insignificance and the infinite possibilities of the future.

He temporarily shut down the light screen, his consciousness returning to reality: "The task is arduous and the road ahead is long..." Su Jie sighed, but his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

With the goal of the [Arsenal of All Heavens], his path of martial arts has become clearer and broader! The resources of all the heavens and myriad worlds will become the nourishment for his growth!

"However, one must take things one step at a time." Su Jie composed himself and focused on the present moment. "Let's deal with the immediate issues first."

Su Jie thought of the [Immortal Martial Bone] that the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace had previously rewarded him with.

"Let's study this bone first." With a flick of his wrist, the [Immortal Martial Bone], which emitted a faint golden light and felt as warm and smooth as jade, appeared in his palm.

The bone was about the length of an arm, covered with fine and mysterious natural patterns, and inside it seemed that countless miniature stars were being created and destroyed.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel its weight, as if it has carried the weight of countless ages.

"System, scan."

[Ding! Special external weapon component detected: [Immortal Bone - Left Arm Armor Fragment (1/30)] .]

[Item Description: A tiny fragment originating from the disintegration of the left arm of an immortal demon god from the primordial era, refined over countless ages, containing a trace of undying Daoist essence and boundless creative vitality.]

【How to use: Use your own Qi and blood and mental will to activate it and attach it to the corresponding body part (left arm) to complete the initial fusion.

The degree of fusion slowly increases with the host's strength, the nourishment of their blood and qi, and their comprehension of the Dao of Immortality. Note: More fragments of the left arm are needed to unleash its full power.

[Estimated integration rate: 0.01%]

[Immortal Trait] (Passive): After fusion, the left arm gains double the base strength and power, and its resistance to negative rules such as corrosion, aging, and curse is greatly increased.

【Creation and Vitality】(Passive): After fusion, it can greatly increase the growth rate of Qi and blood in the host's body.

【? ? ?】 (Unlocked, requires merging more fragments to activate)

[Warning: The fusion process will be accompanied by intense pain. Please remain conscious, otherwise there is a risk of fusion failure.]

[Hint: The components of this rule-based weapon are scattered throughout the myriad realms. Please search diligently.]

"Hiss—!" Su Jie gasped as he looked at the system description. "Innate God-Demon? Immortal Dao Body? That sounds incredibly awesome!"

Especially the [Immortal Trait] and [Creation Vitality], they are simply indestructible and self-healing artifacts!

If I ever get into a fight, could I use my left hand to block a knife and then taunt the other person, "Didn't you eat? Is this all you've got?" Just thinking about it makes me feel cool!

"Merge! We must merge!" Su Jie made up his mind instantly.

So what if it hurts a little? What kind of suffering hasn't Su Juanwang endured? ...Okay, he may not have experienced the pain of bone fusion before, but he'll fight for it to become stronger!

He sat cross-legged, placed the immortal martial bone in the palm of his left hand, took a deep breath, and mobilized the vast power of his blood and qi, along with the martial heart will that he had just condensed, to slowly envelop the fragment.

hum!

The moment his blood and will touched the immortal martial bone, a sudden change occurred!

The once quiet golden bones seemed to come alive, suddenly bursting out with dazzling light!

An ancient, vast, and supremely majestic aura spread out, and Su Jie's left hand instantly felt an indescribable pain, as if every inch of his bones had been crushed and reassembled!

"Holy crap... this is intense..." Su Jie's forehead veins bulged, and cold sweat instantly poured down his face.

It's like someone is carving patterns on his bones with a chisel!

He gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the "Original Breathing Technique," causing a massive amount of qi and blood to surge into his left hand like a burst dam, supporting the painful reshaping process.

He could "inner vision" and see that the metacarpal bone of his left hand was being "melted" little by little under the golden light, and then intertwined and fused with the fragments of the immortal martial bone, re-condensing into a more complex, more resilient skeletal structure that emitted a faint golden glow.

This process is slow and agonizing.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Su Jie felt he was about to faint from the pain, the intense pain receded like a tide, and his left hand felt an unprecedented sense of fullness and power!

The fusion is complete!

Su Jie raised his left hand and examined it carefully. It looked no different from before, still fair and slender.

But he could feel that this hand contained explosive power, and the toughness of the skin and the density of the bones had undergone a qualitative leap!

With a light flick of the fingertip, the air emitted a soft "hissing" tearing sound!

With a sudden thought, he tried to activate his qi and blood.

boom!

A faint, almost invisible golden halo instantly enveloped his left hand, naturally revealing an aura of immovability and invulnerability.

"Awesome!" Su Jie exclaimed with delight, unable to resist wanting to test its power.

He looked around; there weren't any good targets in the secret chamber. His gaze finally settled on the heavy alloy door to the chamber, which was reinforced with an array.

"You're the one!"
