In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

The crimson mist surged and billowed, and a streak of light suddenly pierced through the fog, forcefully invading Shi Gen's sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, his mental energy was dragged into a vast and independent universe, and his own consciousness seemed to transform into a lonely star suspended in the void.

The entire world was entering its final, apocalyptic end. A great flood of destruction swept across all directions, and countless stars broke free of their orbits, crashing down upon him in an overwhelming, innumerable mass.

The scene of world destruction shocked Shi Geng's soul. He immediately mobilized all his spiritual power to condense layers of barriers and desperately blocked the approaching stars.

Thousands of stars crashed down with destructive force, causing the mental barrier to tremble and crack instantly, with fine cracks spreading like a spider web throughout the body's sea of ​​consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Geng was smashed into dust by countless stars.

"Huff... huff..."

Shi Geng was breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead and down his chin, his back already soaked with sweat.

He stared intently at the ancient, inherited crystal in his palm, still feeling lingering fear. The tribulation he had just experienced in his sea of ​​consciousness was too real, making him feel as if he had personally endured the cataclysmic disaster of the destruction of the galaxy and the impact of falling stars.

This is the spiritual secret technique passed down through generations—the Star God Technique, specifically designed to temper and strengthen spiritual power, using the Milky Way as a furnace and stars as fire to forge the origin of the soul.

The initial training yielded remarkable results; after just one round of tempering, his spiritual power became more solid and substantial.

The previously scattered and weak mental energy was completely contained, no longer drifting and dissipating. The texture and structure of the energy became clear and orderly, and the foundation became much more solid.

The mental strength that ordinary practitioners cultivate through years of arduous practice and daily accumulation can be steadily improved and solidified by him after only one round of study, which shows that the Star God Technique is profound and mysterious and of an extraordinary quality.

But such wondrous secrets are but a drop in the ocean, an insignificant glimpse into the immortal heritage.

This fallen immortal spent his life cultivating the path of physical enlightenment, but his understanding and attainment in the spiritual realm were originally shallow and limited.

The Star God Technique preserved within the inheritance is a superior spiritual secret method that he had collected and carefully compiled from various sources back then.

His true trump card, the supreme skill that runs through his entire life, is a powerful body-refining secret technique—the Star Body Refining Technique.

The most domineering aspect of this technique is that it can draw upon the power of the universe and stars to cleanse the flesh and blood, achieving the ultimate amplification of genes.

Those who cultivate open countless acupoints within their bodies according to the Dharma, forging a stellar foundation. Once their foundation is solid and robust, if they achieve perfect cultivation, even if they are only at the Realm Lord level, they can possess immense combat power comparable to immortal gods, enabling them to fight across realms and be invincible.

The Star Body Refining Technique is divided into nine realms, with each level having vastly different barriers. The cultivation threshold is extremely strict, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to even qualify for entry.

To make breakthroughs and improve one's skills, one must personally experience and survive in various extreme natural disasters and desperate situations in the universe, honing one's physical foundation on the edge of life and death.

The extreme pressure of neutron stars, the gravitational pull of black holes, the violent explosion of supernovae, the tearing force of nebula turbulence... all these terrifying cosmic calamities are the necessary path to cultivating this supreme body-refining technique.

Only by withstanding the erosion and tempering of various destructive forces can the physical genes complete the leap and transformation layer by layer, unlocking the ultimate amplification of thousands and tens of thousands of times step by step, opening up the endless acupoints throughout the body, and forging an immortal battle body.

The Ninefold Technique is a world unto itself, and each breakthrough requires braving a cosmic catastrophe, placing oneself in dire straits, and tempering one's physical body through life and death.

The terrifying pressure of a neutron star can crush planetary materials, the terrifying gravity of a black hole can tear apart and annihilate everything, and there are also the scorching flames of a supernova explosion and the tearing power of pulsar turbulence. Any one of these can turn an ordinary strongman into ashes.

However, this Star Refining Body Technique deliberately goes against the natural order, actively throwing itself into natural disasters to use the ultimate power of heaven and earth to forge flesh and blood, temper genes, and open acupoints.

Only by enduring the baptism of natural disasters can the physical body complete a deep evolution, with the gene amplification rate continuously increasing and the acupoints throughout the body gradually taking shape.

Shi Geng carefully recalled the cultivation details of the Star Body Refining Technique, and the more he pondered it, the more alarmed he became, feeling his scalp tingle.

Don't underestimate the first level of this technique; the cosmic calamities that require training are already dangerous situations that I am currently powerless to withstand.

The first level of training is extremely demanding. One must be in the midst of a violent asteroid impact torrent, survive the continuous collisions of celestial bodies, and remain standing. One must also comprehend the laws of metal amidst the chaos of shattered metal and sharp, crisscrossing rocks.

He secretly assessed his own combat strength. Even with the cultivation of a War God and the addition of the Abyss Master, he would be instantly turned into mincemeat if he faced the violent impact of an asteroid.

"Truly perverted to the extreme."

Shi Geng shook his head and sighed. The threshold for cultivating the Star Body Refining Technique was too high, and it was beyond his current capabilities. He could only temporarily seal it away and cultivate it again when his cultivation level was high enough.

The immediate priorities are clear and specific; we must focus on accumulating knowledge and experience, break through constraints, and achieve a breakthrough to the planetary level.

He immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind, immersing himself in the depths of the inheritance crystal. In the vast and boundless immortal inheritance, he carefully selected practical cultivation techniques that suited his current realm, aligned with his physical foundation, and could rapidly improve his cultivation, preparing to devote himself to cultivation.

Countless inheritances unfold in the sea of ​​consciousness, with a vast array of knowledge categories, including combat techniques, secret methods, body tempering secrets, and mental supernatural abilities.

Shi Gen carefully examined and filtered out those with too high a threshold, those that were too low in terms of suitability, and those that offered only meager benefits.

Before long, two cultivation methods that best suited his current level of cultivation and took into account both spiritual nourishment and physical strengthening came into view.

One technique is a supplementary method for cultivating concentration, solidifying the mental power foundation laid by the Star God Technique, and smoothing out the mental power depletion left by the previous Starfall Illusionary Tribulation; the other is a primary method for strengthening the body, refining the physique, and enhancing the absorption of cosmic energy.

These are all the common techniques that the immortal master used in his early years. There is no risk of going astray or becoming possessed by evil spirits. They are effective and quick to improve.

Once Shi Geng made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and sat calmly in the red misty void, initiating the circulation of his cultivation technique.

A red mist swirled and flowed, and strands of cosmic energy gathered, continuously flowing into the body through the pores and acupoints of the entire body.

The cultivation technique circulates smoothly throughout the body, and the flowing Daoist rhythm is gentle and soothing, gradually smoothing out the mental and spiritual fatigue caused by the previous arduous cultivation of the Star God Technique. As a result, the body's Qi and blood become more abundant and robust.

Shi Geng sat calmly and steadily, neither greedy nor reckless, allowing the cosmic energy to wash over and temper his limbs and bones.

The solidified mental power tempered in the Starfall Illusion was further stabilized, and the spirit was guarded internally, perfectly integrated with the blood and qi of the physical body.

Cultivation transcends time; while the outside world changes, only the tranquil breath of cultivation remains within the red mist space.

After completing one cycle of the Great Heavenly Cycle, his aura became perfectly integrated, and his foundation became solid and stable.

Shi Geng slowly opened his eyes, the brilliant light in them completely subsided, returning to a calm and profound state.

Being in this fragment of divine space, the universe is rich and abundant in energy, and the flow of the source is smooth and natural, making cultivation speed up in a way that is far superior to that of the outside world.

After this period of cultivation, his physical strength increased dramatically, shedding layers of weakness and undergoing a complete transformation.

Even without the full power boost from the Abyss Mech, his pure flesh and blood and original combat power have already firmly established him at the level of a War God. His physique is formidable, his blood and qi are like a dragon, and his foundation is unparalleled.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and his limbs and bones emitted a series of steady booms. His physical strength was condensed and refined, and a powerful aura emanated from his every move.
