High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen subconsciously activated the Void Teleportation, jumping directly from the ice shelf of the Ross Sea to an uninhabited area of ​​the sea.

He feared that this force would affect Yuan Qian and Jing Yue, who were in their current severely injured state and could be killed on the spot even if they were hit by the aftershocks.

As soon as he regained his footing, the star core within his body completed its final collapse.

A miniature star core lit up in his dantian.

This is a star core that burns through nuclear fusion, and its diameter is less than one millimeter.

But its light pierced through Song Chen's body, through the Northern Darkness Armor, and through the four-thousand-meter-deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, soaring into the sky from the sea surface.

A silvery-white beam of light burst forth from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, shooting straight into the sky.

The beam of light was over one kilometer in diameter and broke through the outer edge of the atmosphere, forming a halo visible to the naked eye in near-Earth orbit.

All satellites in orbit around the world captured this beam of light at the same instant; it was clearly visible in space, like a silver needle piercing the Earth.

Song Chen was suspended in the center of the pillar of light. His body underwent a complete reshaping the moment the star core lit up.

All the cells, meridians, bones, and muscles were re-tempered by the light of the star core.

When he opened his eyes, two tiny star nuclei were slowly rotating deep within his pupils.

Psionic monitoring stations around the world sounded the alarm at the same instant.

It's definitely not a crisis alert; no system has preset such an event. It's a data overflow alert.

The psionic readings broke through all known measurement limits the moment the star core lit up.

The main monitoring screen of the Great Xia Martial Arts Research Institute went blank for thirty seconds, and all data models needed to be recalibrated after restarting.

Horton, who was at the Strategic Command Center in Liberty City, was drinking coffee when he received the report. He put down his cup and asked, "Is this Congressman Song?"

The intelligence officer said the psychic traits matched 97%, and Horton picked up his glass again and said that it was fine.

The same message was being relayed on the communication channels of all military command centers in the United States, the European Union, the Mediterranean Union, and the South American Union: "Associate Song has made another breakthrough."

Standing at the office window of the Parliament Building in the capital, Li Qingcang looked at the faintly visible silver-white pillar of light on the eastern horizon and felt a moment of disorientation.

He had been stuck at 700,000 Qi and Blood for several years, so of course he knew how difficult it was to break through to the seventh rank.

Now someone walked ahead of him, and he raised a glass of wine and toasted the view out the window.

At Tianhai University, Zhou Wangyue stood at the window of the president's office, watching the beam of light shooting into the sky.

"The teacher was right about you."

In Anning City, Song Zhengye and Li Xiuying are sweeping ginkgo leaves in the yard.

The silver pillar of light on the horizon was faint and indistinct; they didn't know what it was.

But Li Xiuying stopped sweeping and looked for a long time before suddenly saying, "Our Xiaochen is up to something big again."

Song Zhengye looked at the silvery light on the horizon: "Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense am I talking about? It must be Xiao Chen."

……

An hour later.

The beam of light slowly receded, and the Pacific Ocean returned to calm, but a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea.

That was the residual psionic energy fluctuations from when the star core lit up, which diffused in the seawater.

The vortex spun slowly, its edges shimmering with a silvery light.

Song Chen stood in the center of the vortex, looking down at his palm.

A faint silver light shone through the skin of my palm, flickering with each breath.

The miniature star core inside the body rotated steadily, and with each rotation, it propelled the body's blood and qi to surge along entirely new paths.

He could feel that his power had completely surpassed the sixth rank. If calculated according to the previous ranking system, he was now standing in a position that no human had ever reached before.

The Pacific Ocean has returned to calm, its surface as smooth as a deep blue silk ribbon, the afterglow of the setting sun spilling onto the surging waves, shimmering like scattered gold.

Song Chen opened the system panel, and a dark gold interface unfolded before his eyes, with various data appearing line by line.

Song Chen

Rank: First-tier Star Core

Qi and Blood Value: 1054421

Mental Power: 800052

System Level: 5 (Upgrades the system with 100 billion kill points)

Current kill count: 554400

Song Chen looked at the numbers and was quite satisfied.

Then his gaze settled on the level column.

The position previously marked as the peak of the sixth tier now displays a new line of text: Star Core Level, First Tier.

He stared at the words for a long time: Star Core Level, First Tier.

The system previously categorized its products into Star Core level, and now its own level has been incorporated into the same system; this cannot be a coincidence.

The Cangxing civilization is called Cangxing, and the highest commodity level in the system is called Star Core Level. Now, he himself has been judged by the system to be Star Core Level 1, and the answer is self-evident.

This is not a hierarchy system on Earth; it is a hierarchy system in the universe.

Does being at the first level of the stellar core mean that, on a cosmic scale, he has just entered the realm of stellar cores?

Song Chen felt the miniature star core in his dantian.

I was wondering what the effect would be if I went all out.

With the support of the Star Core, how many times will the power of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Slashes increase?

After the star core condenses, to what extent does the coverage area and the intensity of the thunder dragon in the Star Core Thunder Prison increase?

But he didn't try. Beneath his feet was the Pacific Ocean, and in the deep sea were sea dragons and whales on hunting missions. In the distance were human shipping routes, and overhead, there were probably orbiting satellites routinely scanning his coordinates.

If they go all out here, the aftershocks could flatten half the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

He had a gut feeling that the continent beneath his feet probably couldn't withstand his full-force attack.

After looking at the panel, he closed the system interface and prepared to leave.

As soon as he moved, the stellar core power surging through his meridians suddenly surged with a violent fluctuation.

The miniature star core in the dantian suddenly accelerated its rotation, causing the body's qi and blood to surge wildly through the meridians.

His body swayed in mid-air, almost losing his balance.

He immediately sat cross-legged back on the sea surface and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The realm is unstable, and the body has not yet fully adapted to the new level of power.

He sat motionless on the sea for three whole days.

On the first day, he reorganized the surging star core power in his meridians, guiding each major meridian through a full cycle with his mental energy.

The next day, he used the regenerative abilities of his immortal body to stabilize the residual stress in his muscles and bones.

On the third day, he gradually adjusted the micro-star core in his dantian from rapid rotation to stable operation, allowing the spiritual energy circulation between the star core and his physical body to form a fixed rhythm.

On the evening of the third day, he opened his eyes.

The power within the body no longer surged erratically; the flow of the stellar core power in the meridians became smooth and orderly.

One million five hundred thousand units of qi and blood flowed quietly in the blood vessels, without any signs of violence.

He stood up, stretched his neck, and his joints made a crisp cracking sound.

The level of understanding has stabilized.

The Eye of Truth scanned outwards and sensed two familiar psionic signals rapidly approaching from a distance.

One strip is dark gold, the other is light gray.

A moment later, a figure with dark gold scales and a figure with light gray hair appeared on the sea. They were Yuan Qian and Jing Yue.

The two strange beasts transformed into human form and rode the waves, stopping several hundred meters in front of Song Chen.

Three days ago, they witnessed the towering pillar of light on the Antarctic ice shelf. When they arrived at the scene after the pillar of light dissipated, they found that Song Chen had closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, surrounded by a layer of silver starlight. They dared not approach him.

For the past three days, they have been keeping watch from a distance, checking on each other every now and then.

At that moment, the two saw Song Chen stand up and simultaneously quickened their pace to approach.

The two froze as soon as they stepped within a hundred-meter radius.
