Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 118 The Soaring Growth of Life Genes

Within the world being nurtured within Zhou Yang's life core, a burst of light exploded.

Tiny, dazzling specks of light drifted and arranged themselves.

Finally, an enormous humanoid network of runes, with lines countless times more complex and profound than the 'Original True Explanation', appeared in the world of life cores.

Zhou Yang's consciousness only swept across the image of the secret runes before he was instantly stunned!

Vitality, an unparalleled power of life!

And there are also those subtle yet ever-present fluctuations of the Great Dao!

Zhou Yang felt his entire soul, even every inch of his flesh and blood, and every fragment of his genes, cheering enthusiastically.

This was immediately followed by an intense desire—a desire for the evolution of life!

"This, this secret pattern image is powerful, incredibly powerful! It's more than a hundred times more profound and complex than the 'Original True Explanation'!"

Zhou Yang's face was filled with shock, followed by boundless joy in his heart.

"This is a true opportunity! An opportunity even more powerful than the 'Original True Understanding'!"

His fingers gently brushed over the blurry, crystal-shaped mark on his chest.

I felt even more awe and curiosity about the powerful abilities of Meteor Tears.

"These new secret rune patterns are hundreds of times more profound and complex than the 'Original True Explanation.' If successfully imprinted into the body, who knows what kind of miraculous effects they would have!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Meteor Tears has given me another huge surprise!"

Zhou Yang gained a new understanding of the wonders of the Meteor Tears.

Without giving it much thought, he immediately focused all his attention on carefully observing the huge three-dimensional secret pattern image in the world of his life core.

However, even with his abnormal soul power, which far surpassed that of other experts of the same level, he still felt immense pressure when observing the secret rune image.

Strands of secret patterns intertwined and coiled, and an inexplicable Daoist aura continuously rippled and flowed across the patterned image.

As Zhou Yang delved deeper into the secret pattern, he felt his mental energy being rapidly depleted.

Watching for just a short while consumed far more energy than using the eighth level of the Source Divine Weapon in a single battle!

He soon realized something was wrong.

"No, at this rate, my mental strength simply won't be enough to see the whole image clearly! If I can't even see it clearly, let alone memorize or copy it!"

He couldn't help but feel anxious.

With such a tremendous opportunity before him, he could hardly suppress his desire to explore.

Soon, an idea struck him.

"By the way, the original true solution can be divided into 36 branch images, each to be memorized and inscribed. Could the secret rune images modified by the Meteor Tear also be done in the same way?"

He no longer focused on each individual line of the secret pattern, but instead broadened his perspective to observe the pattern image as a whole.

Tiny specks of light flickered, and an inexplicable Daoist charm flowed slowly across the secret pattern image.

Zhou Yang mobilized all his mental energy to observe carefully, and soon he made a discovery.

The three-dimensional pattern image is extremely complex, with each line intertwining and intersecting.

However, the brightness and size of the light spots that make up each line are different.

Based on this pattern, he quickly categorized the entire secret pattern image, and soon broke down this complex secret pattern image.

Ultimately, he divided the entire image into 36 main line diagrams, 72 branch line diagrams, and a total of 108 auxiliary line diagrams.

Between these main lines, branch lines, and auxiliary lines, there are also a large number of fine, hair-like lines and patterns, which connect these patterns into a whole.

"The division is complete; now let's see if my guess is correct!"

"The main lines of this image are relatively clear and distinct, so let's start with the main lines!"

This time, he blocked out the other lines and focused all his energy on one of the 36 main storyline diagrams.

A storm seemed to rage within his life core world, as a surge of powerful spiritual energy burst forth, breaking through the outer layer of Daoist rhyme of the secret pattern image with great difficulty, thus allowing him to see the detailed lines of the target's network diagram.

During this process, mental energy is being consumed rapidly.

Zhou Yang dared not slack off and seized the time to memorize.

Finally, when his mental energy was more than half depleted, he had memorized all the lines and patterns in this section!

"Now, let's verify if my guess is correct!"

After resting for a while and waiting for his mental energy to fully recover, he began to communicate with the soul crystal and the primal force crystal in his life core.

Soon, a stream of "Singularity Power," which combined his psychic and primal forces, slowly flowed out from his life core.

"start!"

He carefully controlled this singularity power and channeled it into a mysterious acupoint within his body.

After this acupoint was fully illuminated, the power of the singularity began to extend from this acupoint.

Zhou Yang's singularity power was being depleted, forcing him to draw more power from his life core.

One, two, three.

Along the way, special acupoints were connected and illuminated.

Finally, when the 36th acupoint was lit up, the newly imprinted circuit diagram trembled violently.

The 36 acupoints along this route lit up in turn, and a mysterious fluctuation instantly formed.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

Drops of cosmic energy continuously flowed into his body, and then traveled along this path, transforming into a magical energy that permeated his body's cells.

Driven by this energy, every cell and gene in his body began to undergo some wonderful changes.

Even the slightest evolution of genes can cause a complete and radical transformation of the entire body!

The process is very slow because the main network diagram formed by connecting the thirty-six acupoints is incomplete.

However, although it is slow, it is continuing.

"So comfortable, so very comfortable!"

Outside, Zhou Yang closed his eyes slightly, but his face revealed an undisguised excitement.

"This feeling... it's the very essence of life evolving!"

He instantly understood the source of this feeling.

When a cultivator breaks through each major barrier, their genetic level undergoes a tremendous leap, which is the evolution of the origin of life.

However, when he sensed it more closely, he discovered that the evolution that was taking place was far more intense in both speed and strength than any previous breakthrough!

Moreover, this change has been ongoing, and Zhou Yang's life force is rapidly increasing, with both his physical body and soul strength increasing exponentially!

"this"

"Could this mean... my genetic level is advancing?!"

Zhou Yang was almost in a daze.

Normally, there are only a few instances of advancement in the genetic level of life.

From apprentice level to planetary level, planetary level to eternal level, eternal level to cosmic level, cosmic level to domain lord level, domain lord level to world lord level.

Only by advancing through these major hurdles can a leap in the body's genes occur. And the progression from level one to level nine is a matter of quantitative accumulation.

This is due to the rules governing the universe.

In the original story, only the Mountain-Sitting Guest, with the help of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" left behind by that special metal, was able to circumvent the rules of the universe and promote the evolution of his body's genes once again.

This has become one of Luo Feng's biggest trump cards in his rise to power in the universe.

However, now, this secret rune image, which has been modified by Meteor Tear, has actually acquired an effect similar to a 'Ninth-Order Secret Codex' after being mastered!

Moreover, this is only one of the 36 main storyline diagrams that has been mastered; there are also 35 other main storyline diagrams, 72 branch storyline diagrams, and 108 auxiliary storyline diagrams.

If the entire secret pattern image could be depicted, the effect would be incredibly amazing!

"Holy crap, this is an incredible opportunity! I absolutely cannot reveal it, or I'll be controlled or possessed in a heartbeat!"

For a moment, Zhou Yang felt his teeth were slightly sore.

At the same time, he also had to reassess the potential of Meteor Tears.

"It now seems that the God-King of the Stellar Transformation world is far more powerful than the Venerable One who devours other worlds."
