Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 285 Innate

In the courtyard of a separate residence in Junyang City.

"Boom!"

Zhou Yang threw a huge stone lock weighing over 300 kilograms onto the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

Three years have passed, and Zhou Yang in this world is now nine years old.

With continuous training and a large amount of nourishing medicinal food, his body developed extremely quickly.

Now Zhou Yang has grown to nearly 1.6 meters tall. His sturdy build, coupled with his neat martial arts robe, gives him a rather dashing appearance as a young hero.

Through relentless studying and training, his physical fitness and strength continued to increase dramatically.

Now, he can easily lift more than 300 pounds with one arm.

Being able to lift 300 jin means that his explosive power is even stronger. If he punches with all his might, he could probably unleash a force of over 1,000 jin!

However, after reaching this stage, the rapid improvement that was originally expected almost stagnated. No matter how much Zhou Yang trained, his strength almost stopped increasing.

This made him realize that he had reached a certain bottleneck. In the terms of this world, this bottleneck was the ultimate peak that external martial arts cultivation could reach—the acquired limit!

"Three years, it took three years to reach this point, the rate of improvement is much slower than when absorbing worlds."

Zhou Yang sighed helplessly to himself.

When he first transmigrated to the Swallowed Star world, it only took him half a year to improve from an ordinary martial arts school student to a quasi-martial artist. He could unleash over a thousand kilograms of force with a single punch, which was more than twice what he is now!

However, when he was devouring the world, he had the heaven-defying treasure Meteor Tear and many technological devices to assist him, so the conditions were much better than they are now. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a difference.

"It seems that the medicinal power of the Nine Tribulations Creation Pill is still far inferior to the life essence of the Meteor Tear."

Zhou Yang sighed.

He began to think about his next steps.

"I've now reached the limit of external martial arts training; ordinary training methods are no longer effective, and I can't cultivate internal martial arts."

His eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly made up his mind. "It seems this is the only way."

"Uncle Qiying, please don't disturb me yet."

Zhou Yang gave the old servant Qi Ying a few instructions, and then went straight into his bedroom.

He carefully closed the door before going to the couch, where he crossed his legs in a strange pose with his five hearts facing the sky.

He was preparing to try cultivating the gene energy cultivation method that devours the world!

The Gene Energy Cultivation Method is somewhat like a method that focuses on strengthening the physical body. Its principle is to absorb cosmic energy and directly integrate it into and modify the genes of the physical body, thereby continuously strengthening the body. It does not require the "condensation of qi into liquid" or "gathering of qi into pills" like internal energy cultivation. Therefore, it is not limited by his Heavenly Leakage Appearance, and it is very suitable for his current situation.

The only thing to be careful about is that his physical fitness is currently stuck at the bottleneck of the Acquired Limit, and he is far from reaching the level of a 'quasi-martial artist'. It is unknown whether his body can withstand directly cultivating the Gene Energy Cultivation Method.

"With the medicinal power of the Nine Tribulations Creation Pill as a safety net, there's no need to worry too much. We can simply stop in time if necessary."

Zhou Yang comforted himself with a word, and then quickly focused his mind and entered a meditative state.

The first and most difficult step in cultivating the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method is to sense the omnipresent cosmic energy around you and guide it for your own use.

Zhou Yang's breathing gradually calmed down as he controlled himself and calmed his mind.

"Relax your body, and let your five senses naturally face the sky. Keep your mind calm, as still as a mirror-like lake."

Zhou Yang has excellent self-control, and gradually he calmed down completely, even his mind calmed down.

Silence reigned; even breathing was barely audible.

In just a few breaths, Zhou Yang suddenly sensed something.

In a near-sleep state, Zhou Yang vaguely sensed a wisp of energy slowly flowing into his body through the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

"That's it?"

Zhou Yang himself was also surprised; this speed was much faster than his previous speed!

"The energy in this world is so abundant!"

His insight was so great that he discovered the reason.

The concentration of cosmic energy in this world is several times higher than that in the world that devoured it.

He only tried the Gene Energy Cultivation Method for a short while, and immediately a large amount of cosmic energy surged into his body.

Once these invisible and colorless cosmic energies entered the body, they were immediately devoured by every cell in the body that had been starving for too long. These cosmic energies continuously entered through five channels.

In cells.

As cosmic energy enters the cell, it is quickly absorbed by the mitochondria within the cell, releasing a strange energy. This energy is rapidly absorbed by all parts of the cell, and the entire cell itself immediately begins to undergo tremendous changes. The DNA genetic blueprint also undergoes subtle changes, and the cell begins to divide, splitting into two.

Time passed second by second...

Zhou Yang's body is constantly changing. Whether it's the surface skin, muscles, bones, or even every cell deep inside, even the genes themselves are undergoing slight changes. This change is the evolution of life, an optimization of life's genes!

Because the human body has never consciously absorbed cosmic energy since birth, it has always been in a state of hunger.

The first time he absorbed cosmic energy was the most he absorbed, and the time his strength increased the fastest!

Zhou Yang dared not be negligent and carefully circulated the Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method, constantly absorbing cosmic energy from the outside world into his body.

The Abyss Continent is a sacred land for cultivators in this world. Even in the area where the mortal dynasties of the Abyss Continent are located, the concentration of spiritual energy is much higher than that of other continents.

Under Zhou Yang's active absorption, dense spiritual energy frantically gathered and poured into his body, and was then rapidly devoured and digested by every inch of his flesh and blood and every cell. His body began to undergo some incredible changes.

The cells themselves are shrinking in size, one cell is dividing into two cells, the muscle tissue itself is beginning to optimize, bone density is increasing, and naturally Zhou Yang's body weight is also constantly increasing.

Life is so amazing!

Zhou Yang's body entered an extremely rapid evolutionary transformation, which was even faster than when he first cultivated in the Devouring World!

Time passed slowly, and Zhou Yang's body continued to evolve and improve, soon breaking through a bottleneck, and continuing to rise.
