The power of laws...
Ye Yun looked at the palm-sized miniature mountain stone he held in his hand, a hint of enlightenment flashing in his eyes. A faint flame ignited on his body.
After enduring a hundred more collisions, this newly formed mountain rapidly shrank, transforming into its current miniature form. Ye Yun felt no weight whatsoever as he held it.
However, Ye Yun knew that this was a supreme magical artifact condensed by heaven and earth using the heavenly tribulation after his physical body entered the Monarch realm.
Despite its palm-sized appearance, this mountain, imbued with the law of gravity, weighed a staggering ten thousand tons! If Ye Yun were to unleash his true essence to power it, its offensive might could gravely injure even a mighty being of the same Extreme realm!
"Endowed with the law of gravity and born from the heavenly tribulation, I shall henceforth call you Heavenly Gravity Mountain." Ye Yun felt the mountain's resistance and directly struck it with his palm, immediately dispelling its rebellious force.
Such magical artifacts could not be sealed with true essence. Only by suppressing them with his physical body and refining them with his potent divine sense could they become his own and be wielded by him.
The heavenly tribulation had passed, leaving behind this byproduct, which could be considered an unexpected gain. The most significant gain this time was that when Ye Yun awakened his true essence attribute, his fire-attribute cultivation technique, the 'Primordial Sky Burning Art,' surprisingly came with the power of fire-attribute laws. This caused the destructive force of his fire-attribute skills to more than double!
Even the passive skill 'Armor of the Fire God,' after this physical body tribulation, saw its original ten percent defense boost surge to thirty percent, directly elevating Ye Yun's physical strength from seventy thousand to just over eighty thousand! The magnitude of the increase even surprised Ye Yun.
His physical strength had broken through to the Monarch realm, and his cultivation realm had also reached the mid-stage of the Extreme realm after this awakening! Furthermore, the true essence within his Dan Sea had become even purer. The once vibrant Dan Sea, aside from his Primordial Infant Image, had transformed into endless magma, resembling a vast blue ocean!
That's right, a blue ocean. Not only the Dan Sea but also the flames emanating from Ye Yun's body were now a brilliant blue, and even the Infant Image at the center of his Dan Sea was the same!
The Infant Image is condensed by every cultivator upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it grows alongside the cultivator through countless years of practice. It can also help cultivators accelerate their cultivation speed in reality and purify the energy within their Dan Sea.
Most importantly, this Infant Image serves as a cultivator's second life, similar to the Nascent Soul in the cultivation world. It is said that by the time one reaches the Great Emperor realm, it possesses world-shattering power! Ye Yun did not understand the specifics.
In the game, Ye Yun's other attribute skills did not disappear due to the true essence attribute awakening; only the original lightning power was replaced by fire attribute.
"Although the fire attribute is not as destructive as the lightning power, in terms of sustained destructive force, fire is not inferior to lightning, especially since my flames have already reached the level of exotic flames!"
After examining his attribute panel and skills, Ye Yun could only comfort himself. He then exited the game world, carefully sensing his now-swollen power and terrifying physical strength.
An external cultivator in the Monarch realm possesses combat power comparable to a low-tier Extreme realm cultivator. This is because their physical bodies alone are impervious to damage from ordinary cultivators. Their strength is sufficient to instantly kill a peak Monarch realm internal cultivator, and their formidable martial skills have honed their terrifying reaction speed and agility.
This is the terrifying aspect of an external cultivator's growth!
A few days later, Zhou Ningdong led four thousand people from the Dragon Palace back to the Dragon Palace building. As they looked at the building being renovated, everyone was filled with confusion.
"Boss, two thousand alien races have appeared outside the Blue Star, hovering ten thousand miles away," Ye Yun's temporary residence had Zhou Ningdong and Wang Chen standing outside the door.
"Wang Chen, you go. Bring them here! If anyone among them harbors ill intentions, strike them down immediately! General Zhou, expand the Dragon Palace personnel from four thousand to ten thousand! Then, distribute benefits according to previous regulations. Afterward, organize them into groups of one hundred and dispatch them to various regions of Hua Nation, awaiting the arrival of the Ghost race. Slay them on sight!" Ye Yun's voice echoed in their ears.
Ye Yun did not emerge, as he was currently holding the mountain in one hand, with endless flames surging and engulfing it. His other hand acted like a celestial hammer, smashing down on the mountain with successive blows. His immense divine sense, like a boundless ocean, continuously washed away the violent consciousness within the mountain.
The Heavenly Gravity Mountain was a manifestation of the heavenly tribulation. Its consciousness contained nothing but violence and destruction. Therefore, Ye Yun needed to completely erase and refine the residual consciousness of the heavenly tribulation. Simultaneously, he needed to comprehend the law of gravity within it.
Laws were something cultivators could only perceive and comprehend after reaching the Extreme realm. Normally, a beginner in the Extreme realm who comprehends one law is considered a low-tier Extreme, and comprehending two laws makes one a mid-tier Extreme. However, the emergence of the Heavenly Dao broke this conventional classification. Some cultivators at the low-tier, mid-tier, or even high-tier Extreme realm might not have comprehended even a trace of law, having relied solely on their in-game attribute accumulation, much like Ye Yun previously.
This was also why Ye Yun possessed such terrifying divine sense. It was said that since the creation of the world, only Ye Yun dared to refine the residual treasure left by the heavenly tribulation. Other external cultivators could at most occasionally use brute force to expend the heavenly tribulation's consciousness, preventing its laws and consciousness from returning to their peak, and then use such treasures as mere weapons.
Once these naturally formed treasures, created by heaven and earth, recovered their consciousness and laws, they would instantly self-destruct. Their internal consciousness would dissipate, and the laws would re-integrate into various parts of the star domain, rebuilding a new world alongside other star domain laws.
As for their controllers, if they escaped in time, they might survive by luck. Otherwise, they would be pulverized along with the star domain.
Indeed, the self-destruction of this item was billions of times more powerful than any so-called nuclear bomb; it could destroy everything within a star domain!
Therefore, external cultivators who had passed the Monarch realm were constantly striving to completely refine these items, making them entirely their own!
However, to refine them, a divine sense of the third realm was absolutely essential! Especially since the surface of the Heavenly Gravity Mountain in Ye Yun's hand was covered with a substance that could isolate divine sense, requiring even more effort and a stronger divine sense!
And how many external cultivators could achieve a divine sense of the third realm or above? Let alone external cultivators, even internal cultivators were a tiny minority. Even Shenxiu, who specifically cultivated divine sense, rarely reached the third realm.
