If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

The instant Stargate Disaster Shadow opened his eyes.

The entire Star Source Pool seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.

The silvery-white tide stopped flowing.

The blue pollution has stopped spreading.

Even the broken star gate array patterns in the interlayer emitted a dense tremor at this moment.

That wasn't the aura of an ordinary beast.

It's not simply a case of Black Gate contamination.

Rather, it is the shadow left behind by an old war.

It has no complete life.

It has no real physical body.

Yet it is more terrifying than many living beasts.

Because it is itself part of the Stargate disaster.

The Star Eclipse Beast's tattered body gradually merged with the Star Gate Disaster Shadow.

The silver-white bone armor was re-covered.

The dark blue patterns on the door climbed wildly.

Its body, which had been shattered by Lin Yuan, actually grew back after the power of the Disaster Shadow was poured in.

Just this once.

It is larger in size.

His breathing became even heavier.

Behind them trailed a tattered phantom of a stargate battlefield.

Broken city walls.

Burning battle flag.

The collapsing giant cannon.

Countless blurry, lingering spirits roared silently within that shadow of disaster.

The system notification is flashing wildly.

[Stargate Disaster Shadow Fusion Reaction Detected]

[Danger Level Increased]

[Current Goal: Peak of the Early Stage of the Marquis Realm]

[Approaching the mid-stage threshold of the Marquis Realm in a short period of time]

High concentration of star-generated tide detected

[It is estimated that after absorbing the core, it can reach the critical point of 600,000 times.]

Lin Yuan stood in the Star Source Interlayer.

The black robe was torn.

Several silver-white burn marks appeared on the blood-red mask.

But his eyes remained calm.

Eight thousand more attempts needed.

As long as we devour the core of this calamity.

Six hundred thousand times is enough.

The Star Eclipse Beast lowered its head and looked down at the forest.

At this moment, its voice no longer entirely belongs to itself.

It was as if countless remnants of old battlefields spoke at the same time.

"Ancient Body Cultivation..."

"You shouldn't have touched the Star Gate."

"You cannot bear the stargate."

Lin Yuan looked up.

Behind him, a hundred-foot-tall phantom of Brahma slowly ignited an even more intense crimson lotus karmic fire.

"Can't handle it?"

He took a step forward.

The interlayer of the star source beneath their feet suddenly sank.

"Then let me see."

How heavy is it?

boom--!

The Star Eclipse Beast made the first move.

It slapped down with its paw.

The enormous Star Origin Bone Claw tore through the interlayer, its tip revealing a dark blue-black rift.

With this strike, it felt as if the entire ruins of the stargate were pressing down on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan raised all eight arms at once.

A direct, head-on collision.

Boom!!!

The star source interlayer suddenly collapsed.

Large array patterns exploded beneath his feet, causing him to sink several feet downwards.

The eight dark gold arms trembled simultaneously.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was violently shaken by the Star Source Storm.

With the help of the power of the Disaster Shadow, the Star Eclipse Beast has briefly touched the threshold of a higher level.

Each of its attacks carried the weight of the remaining ruins of the stargate.

For the first time, fine cracks appeared on the dark gold battle patterns on Lin Yuan's arm.

The Star Eclipse Beast growled:

"You deserve to die!"

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.

"Yeah?"

The eight arms suddenly exerted their strength.

They forcefully pushed the Star Origin Bone Claw away.

next moment.

He rushed out in one step.

The phantom of Brahma behind him simultaneously bent down.

Eight dark gold arms left eight afterimages in the silvery-white primordial tide.

Great Desolate Annihilation Fist!

boom--!

The fist landed on the Star Eclipse Beast's chest.

The silver-white bone armor instantly collapsed inward.

The dark blue door pattern was crushed into fragments of light.

But the Star Gate Disaster Shadow suddenly shuddered behind it.

More starlight surged from the depths of the interlayer, forcibly filling the depression in its chest.

It just broke.

Then it will be restored.

The Star Eclipse Beast roared in a low voice:

"The Star Gate will never perish."

"The shadow of disaster will never fade."

"You can't kill me!"

Lin Yuan did not answer.

The second punch landed.

The third punch landed.

The fourth punch landed.

The crimson flames of karma illuminated the entire mezzanine.

Each punch shattered the Star Eclipse Beast's massive body.

But after each collapse, it was restored by the power of the Star Source Pool.

This battle has completely turned into a war of attrition.

The Star Eclipse Beast is consuming the Star Source Pool.

Lin Yuan is consuming the Star Eclipse Beast.

Meanwhile, the numbers on the system panel slowly increased with each collision.

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 596000]

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 597300]

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 598600]

The Star Eclipse Beast finally noticed the anomaly.

Its recovery speed has started to slow down.

It's not because the Star Source Pool's power is insufficient.

It's because every time it recovers, a portion of the star source is intercepted by Lin Yuan halfway through.

That ancient cultivator bathed in the karmic fire of the red lotus was actually vying with it for control of the Star Source Pool.

"you……"

For the first time, fear was present in the Star Eclipse Beast's voice.

"Are you in the Star Devouring Source Pool?"

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

Five fingers interlocked in the air.

He forcefully pulled away a silvery-white tide that had just surged toward the Star Eclipse Beast's severed arm.

"You only found out now?"

boom!

The primordial tide was crushed by the extreme qi and blood, transforming into the purest compressible energy, which entered Lin Yuan's body.

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 599500]

The Star Eclipse Beast roared.

Instead of repairing its injuries, it fully unleashed the Stargate Disaster Shadow behind it.

In an instant.

That shattered battlefield covered Lin Yuan's head.

The shattered city walls pressed down.

The burning battle flag was rolled upside down.

The collapsing giant cannon spewed out silent starlight.

Countless remnants of the old battlefield surged forth from the shadow of disaster like a tidal wave.

This attack was no longer just a physical assault.

Rather, it is a recurrence of the disasters left behind by the old Stargate War.

Lin Yuan looked up.

The forbidden realm of the ultimate path unfolds.

Within a 30-meter radius, all the turbulent stellar energy suddenly quieted down.

But this time, the shadow of disaster is too heavy.

The forbidden area was being continuously compressed and shrank.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

ten meters.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned fiercely.

Behind Lin Yuan, the hundred-foot-tall Brahma phantom raised its eight arms, forcefully supporting the calamity of the Star Gate battlefield.

ka ka ka-

Fine cracks reappeared on the eight arms of the Brahma phantom.

Star Eclipse Beast Roar:

"You can't hold on!"

"The weight of the stargate is beyond what the human body can bear!"

Lin Yuan lowered his head.

Beneath the blood-stained face, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his lips.

This was the first time he had been truly injured since entering Longyuan City.

But his gaze remained unwavering.

"The physical body can't withstand it?"

He slowly clenched his fist.

The extreme qi and blood within his body, compressed 599,900 times, collapsed madly towards a single point.

"That's because you haven't seen it before."

"A truly powerful physical body."

boom!

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

The forbidden zone, which had already been compressed to a range of ten meters, suddenly contracted inward.

It's not an outward expansion.

Instead, it pressed all of it back into his body.

Blood pressure.

Bone compression.

Press down on the physical body.

It suppresses the five internal organs and six bowels.

Press down on every inch of your blood and qi.

He forcefully forced all the star source impacts, all the calamity shadows, and all the red lotus karmic fire into his body.

The system notifications exploded almost simultaneously.

High concentration of star-generated tide detected

[Stargate Disaster Shadow Core Detected]

[Removing contaminants and impurities from the Black Gate]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 599900]

The Star Eclipse Beast sensed something was wrong.

It wants to retreat.

He wanted to pull the shadow of disaster back from Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan looked up, and all eight arms simultaneously gripped the star gate battlefield disaster shadow.

"You want to leave now?"

"It's too late."

boom!

The World-Destroying Brahma.

The vast wilderness was utterly desolate.

Eight punches landed simultaneously.

It wasn't aimed at the Star Eclipse Beast's body.

Instead, it blasted towards the core of the disaster.

That instant.

The entire Stargate Disaster Shadow appeared as if it had been struck simultaneously by eight dark gold stars.

The ravaged battlefield collapsed inward.

The howls of countless remaining spirits abruptly ceased.

Deep within the Star Source Pool, the densest and highest-level Star Gate Source Tide was blasted away by Lin Yuan's punch.

then.

All of it was poured back into the body.

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 600000]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! Your Qi and Blood physical compression has exceeded 600,000 times!]

[Reward Unlocked: Ultimate Star Furnace]

[The first physical star furnace condenses within the host's body]

The Star Furnace can absorb and refine Star Gate source energy, store excess blood and qi, and stabilize the Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain.

The Star Furnace can provide remote power to the Extreme Blood Shadow.

[Note: The Ultimate Star Furnace has completed its initial activation.]

boom--!

Within Lin Yuan's body, it was as if a dark golden star was slowly igniting.

It was a physical star furnace compressed together from the ultimate qi and blood, the star gate source energy, and the red lotus karmic fire.

The moment the star furnace takes shape.

The once rampant and unruly Stargate Tide has suddenly found a new home.

They no longer flocked to the Star Eclipse Beasts.

Instead, it was swallowed up strand by strand by the dark gold star furnace inside Lin Yuan's body.

store.

Refining.

Scheduling.

The forbidden zone of the extreme path has reopened.

This time, the forbidden area was no longer compressed by the shadow of disaster as before.

Instead, it is as stable as a star's core.

Within a 30-meter radius.

The Star Source remains undisturbed.

The black door remains closed.

The shadow of disaster remained unmoved.

The Star Eclipse Beast was finally filled with fear.

It wanted to escape back to the depths of the Star Source Pool.

But as soon as it moved, it discovered that all the star sources around it were no longer listening to it.

Its reliance on the restoration of star power has been severed.

The Star Gate Disaster Shadow behind it was devoured by the Star Furnace.

The black gate pollution within its body was simultaneously crushed by the red lotus karmic fire and the extreme forbidden domain.

The Star Eclipse Beast roared in alarm and fury:

"What is this?"

"How come there's a stargate inside you?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyes.

The blood-red mask had been burned with large cracks.

But those eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Stargate?"

"That thing doesn't even dare to be compared to me!"

The words fell.

He took a step forward.

All eight arms moved in unison.

The hundred-foot-tall phantom of Brahma behind him also bowed down.

The primal currents within the entire Stargate interlayer converged on his fist at this moment.

The vast wilderness was utterly desolate.

boom--!!!!!!

The punch landed.

The Star Eclipse Beast's massive, Marquis-level body began to collapse inwards from its chest.

The silver-white bone armor shattered.

The dark blue door pattern broke off.

Stargate Disaster Shadow was forcibly dragged into the center of the fist.

"No--"

"The sect leader... won't let this go..."

Lin Yuan's voice was deep:

"Make them line up."

boom!

The Star Eclipse Beast was completely destroyed.

The core of the early-stage Marquis Realm was contaminated by star erosion and forcibly refined by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.

The remnants of the old battlefield will left by the Star Gate Disaster Shadow were also burned into nothingness by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The system prompts continued to appear.

[Remnants of a Marquis-level astronomical eclipse core detected]

[Removing impurities]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 620000]

[The host has been detected to have exceeded 600,000 physical compressions of Qi and blood.]

[The Ultimate Star Furnace has been unlocked]

[Next qualitative leap: 700,000 compressions]

[700,000 reward announcements are being generated...]

[Reward Name: Ultimate Star Body]

[Note: The host's physical body will initially possess stargate-level carrying capacity.]

In Star Body form, the host can withstand the erosion of higher-level star gate source tides for a short period of time.

The forbidden area of ​​the Extreme Path will be further expanded.

[The Ultimate Blood Shadow can obtain a projection of the Star Body Skeleton]

[Current unlock progress: 620000 / 700000]

The stargate interlayer began to calm down.

The gaping, dark blue door, which had been torn open, slowly closed.

The silvery-white source tide returned to the Meteor Source Pool.

It's just that there are far fewer than before.

Lin Yuan stood in the center of the mezzanine.

The black robe reformed.

The blood-red mask was completely replaced.

The dark gold star furnace within his body slowly rotated.

With each rotation, he could feel the star source being refined into a more stable extreme qi and blood.

He glanced at the system notification, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Extreme Star Body".

"Seven hundred thousand one."

"The star gates in Dragon Abyss City should be sufficient."
