Chapter 119 Astral Body
Tu Yu and Sheng Guangyu were both radiating a dazzling and intense light, and every cell in their bodies was vibrating.
The gene helix becomes stronger, new gene chains are forming, and useless old gene fragments break off and dissipate into energy within the body.
The commotion gradually grew louder and louder until they finally reached the threshold that the Star Essence could increase gene multiplication by 100 times.
Qi Yuan's Tu Yu body reached 600 times the genetic level, and his Holy Light Feather also reached 100 times the genetic limit.
At the same time, they also completely transformed into astral beings, and can be considered as members of the Astral Race.
Strictly speaking, the Star Spirits are not a single race; all Star Spirits born from the stars can be called Star Spirits.
They include beings of flesh and blood, beings of rock, beings of energy, and beings of pure souls.
Some have souls, some do not.
They all share the talent to manifest as light, but the characteristics of the light manifested by different groups are different.
Moreover, they can absorb the power of the stars and travel freely among the stars, without needing to breathe or eat, relying solely on starlight to sustain their lives.
Intricate star patterns appeared around Tu Yu's body and Holy Light Feather, each corresponding to a real star.
There are a total of 10,000 secret patterns, corresponding to the 10,000 special natural stars in the secret realm.
This is the power of the Astral Body: it can autonomously absorb stellar energy and restore its immortal divine power. It's like a beggar's version of the Origin Treasure, the Holy Light Feather, testing the effects of the Astral Body.
After burning a portion of her immortal divine power, she took out a ball of starfire crystal energy.
This "Stellar Crystal" energy is formed by compressing burning stellar energy and can be used as a power source for spaceships. It is more durable than ordinary spaceship energy blocks.
He activated his Astral Body, radiating light from head to toe. The energy of the "Starfire Crystal" gradually melted and was absorbed by his body, continuously restoring his immortal divine power.
"Excellent! The Astral Body is indeed extraordinary. The higher my cultivation level, the more obvious its effects will become!"
The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace clapped his hands in praise, his eyes shining brightly.
It's alright at the Immortal stage, but once you reach the Cosmic Venerable realm, replenishing divine power becomes quite troublesome.
Especially for the rulers of the universe, the strongest beings in the universe, once their divine bodies are damaged, it takes countless epochs to recover.
If one wants to recover quickly, one must possess a high-level primordial treasure, or have an incredibly large, non-moving divine body as an avatar, such as a Blood Sea avatar, a World Tree avatar, or a Lihuo Mountain avatar.
Otherwise, it would deplete the cultural heritage of the group.
Just like if the Lord of Chaos City were to lose an avatar, the resources required to regenerate it to its original state would be enough to make the human race feel heartbroken.
If he is an astral body, then he can be restored using stellar energy.
There are countless stars in the universe, and their energy is mostly dispersed throughout the cosmos, so using it does not require consuming the precious resources of the species.
Although the recovery speed is slower than using treasures, it is still countless times faster than natural recovery.
Although the Star Essence is only effective for immortal gods and those below immortality, it is entirely beneficial if even one of them advances to the level of a Cosmic Venerable.
The Lord of the Celestial Palace tossed him a World Ring, telling him it was a reward from his clan for discovering this secret realm.
"There are three treasures inside this world ring. The first two treasures are the Light Crystal and the Spirit Tide No. 1 Potion, which can transform your human clone into an unparalleled genius of the light attribute."
The Light Crystal, which Tu Yu's main body had used, can enhance one's talent in the laws of light, turning an ordinary person into a genius in the laws of light.
Lingxi No. 1 potion is a potion made primarily from star core essence. Its effects are similar to those of light crystal, but several times better.
After using these two treasures, his human clone was immediately able to become the universe's top genius in the laws of light, and could also transform into a star body.
Unfortunately, these kinds of treasures are only effective when used by those below the Immortal level.
Therefore, only Qi Yuan can use it; characters like the Demon Queen and Holy Light Feather cannot.
The other two clones of Holy Light Feather are special life forms related to the laws of space and time, respectively, and cannot be transformed into astral bodies.
Watching Qi Yuan use the two treasures, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master continued, "The third treasure is the unicorn horn of the Wind Beast God. This item is a treasure from the treasury of our human race, and it was specially bestowed upon you by the Chaos City Lord as a reward for your achievements."
The Beast God is a treasure trove from head to toe; its flesh, scales, horn, and fur all have extremely valuable uses.
The horn of the Wind Beast God, when integrated into the body, not only increases gene multiplication but also enhances corresponding fusion law talents.
Back when they hunted the innate beast god, almost all the powerful figures in the Yu Shen Zhong participated.
Humans obtained most of the flesh and blood of the Golden Beast God, while the Wind Beast God only obtained this horn and a small amount of blood.
This also led to the creation of two treasures related to the Beast God: Blood Crystal and Wind Source Crystal, which became renewable resources.
The body parts of the other six beast gods were not obtained; they were divided up by other races and lone powerful individuals.
Over the years, the flesh and blood of the Beast God have been almost completely used up, making this Wind Beast God's horn even more precious.
Given its rarity and the fact that it is a precious resource that even the Lord of the Universe can use, its value is no less than that of this secret realm.
Qi Yuan excitedly took out the Beast God's horn, and Tu Yu swallowed it whole, continuously refining it with the power of the world.
At the same time, he placed another batch of star marrow on it, and the human clone stepped into the formation, continuing to transform the human clone into a star body.
With the experience from last time, this time it was much easier and more skillful.
A day later, his human clone also transformed into an astral body, increasing his genes by 100 times, reaching a gene level of 320 times!
After devouring the Beast God's horn, Tu Yu's main body transformed into a giant blue egg and fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Yuan is currently in a very peculiar state.
His human avatar was fully conscious, while Tu Yu's main body fell into a deep sleep, sinking into a strange dream.
In his dream, he completely forgot his own existence, as if he had transformed into the wind beast god, roaming freely in the universe.
The mindset of a born beast god is completely different from that of a human—free-spirited, unrestrained, and brutal.
Without any constraints, free and unrestrained.
Two bodies, two different perspectives, and two completely different states of mind made Qi Yuan feel very strange.
"Alright, I'm taking this place away."
As he spoke, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace took out a pagoda and tossed it casually.
The pagoda grew rapidly, enveloping the entire secret realm.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Qi Yuan and the others left the area of this secret realm.
The pagoda emitted endless light, and the entire secret realm rapidly shrank before being absorbed into the pagoda.
The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's figure flashed and he teleported away.
Realizing that they should not linger here, Qi Yuan and the others immediately used the divine kingdom teleportation system to leave the first battlefield.
Shortly after they left, the four supreme beings from the four major races guarding the extraterrestrial battlefield returned once again.
"What happened?"
"This secret realm has been taken away!"
"Who did this? And what's the point?"
"Could there be some mystery we haven't yet discovered?"
They looked at each other, filled with suspicion.
The cosmic venerable one from the human side was also among them, with an expression of complete ignorance.
After observing for a long time, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.
But this place has already been taken away, and it's no use trying to find the truth now.
After searching for a while, they each went their separate ways.
Qi Yuan and his group returned to the military base.
He used his military merit points to purchase the treasures and resources needed to cultivate the "True Body of Chaos" and began to cultivate in seclusion.
While continuing to challenge the opponents arranged for him by the Lord of Darkness in the virtual universe and honing his secret techniques, he also waited for Tu Yu's main body to awaken.
He sold most of the spoils he didn't need and exchanged them for treasures that could increase his gene multiplier through the military merit system.
However, Tu Yu's main body's gene multiplier has reached 600 times.
During the fusion with the Beast God's horn, the genetic level continued to grow, approaching 1000 times the genetic level.
Once the fusion is complete, the gene count will be even higher.
The treasures exchanged through the military merit system can no longer increase his gene multiplier; they can only be used by his human clone.
If Tu Yu wants to further enhance his genetic multiplication, he can only purchase treasures from the human treasury, and those treasures must be usable only by the Lord of the Universe.
These treasures are even more valuable, requiring at least Heavy Treasure Points to purchase, and most even requiring Supreme Treasure Points.
He simply can't afford it now. Obtaining the Beast God's horn was already incredibly lucky. It was a reward he received for contributing the Starlight Clan's special evolutionary secret realm to the human race.
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and then specifically searched for information about the innate beast god in the virtual universe.
In particular, the Wind Beast God can only continue to evolve at the genetic level if its flesh and blood or other body parts can be obtained.
Qi Yuan's virtual universe authority is now no less than that of a Universe Venerable, and most information has been completely opened to him.
"Master, the Northern Frontier Alliance was the main force in the hunt for the Wind Beast God. The Black Lotus Lord and the Wind Beast God, the Lord of Wine," were originally friends, but he betrayed the Lord of Wine, tricking him into going to the Quwo Secret Realm, and then all the powerful figures of the Northern Frontier Alliance participated in the hunt."
Xiao Jiu explained the information she had found to Qi Yuan.
"Under the leadership of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, the Lord of the Star River, the Lord of the Black Lotus, the Lord of the Cloudy Star, the Lord of the Azure Sky, and other Universe Lords of the Northern Frontier Alliance participated in the hunt. After the Lord of Wine fell, the human side's powerful figures only managed to obtain a portion of his essence blood; the Northern Frontier Alliance took the majority of his corpse."
Today, the Northern Frontier Alliance is rich in a treasure called the Illusionary Demon Eye, which is said to be a renewable treasure cultivated using the Eye of the Beast God.
Similar to Wind Crystal, but with a stronger effect.
At this point, Qi Yuan already had a goal: to first enslave several Immortal Kings of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and then have them exchange for the Illusionary Demon Eye.
He specifically looked up the list of Immortal Kings in the Northern Frontier Alliance, and found that there were more than a hundred of them who had come to the extraterritorial battlefield.
The Northern Frontier Alliance itself did not originate from a single ethnic group, but rather from an alliance composed of a group of cosmic lords.
The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance is merely a figurehead within the alliance, enjoying resources but rarely taking charge.
They only intervene when it's necessary to resurrect the Cosmic Venerable, and the fee is quite high.
Therefore, the immortal kings of the Northern Frontier Alliance acted as groups within their respective ethnic groups, resulting in weak internal cohesion.
They joined factions quite randomly, including those of the four most powerful races.
Qi Yuan specifically searched for the list of immortal kings of the Northern Frontier Alliance who were currently on the front lines.
After careful selection, he specifically chose the Dark Assassin King.
The reason he was chosen was because he had only recently been promoted to king and had not yet lived for more than 50,000 years.
Although the Dark Assassin King is quite strong, possessing the strength of a high-level King, his cultivation time is very short. Qi Yuan guesses that his willpower is not very strong, which is perfect for him to leverage his advantages as a Phantom Warrior.
Moreover, his rapid advancement to the high-level King rank in such a short time indicates that he is undoubtedly a genius within his clan, making him even more suitable for infiltrating the Northern Frontier Alliance and exchanging for the Illusionary Demon Eye.
Finding the Dark Assassin King's whereabouts is not easy; if we make a big fuss, we risk alerting him.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiu discovered that there had been friction between the Linghua King and the Dark Assassin King's races on the human side.
They are all from the Northern Frontier Alliance, so they should be better able to find out the whereabouts of the Dark Assassin King than he is.
Thus, Qi Yuan got to know King Linghua through introductions from other immortal kings in the military system.
He invited Linghua Wang to meet him in the military's virtual system.
The King of Listening Flowers appears to be human, but its gender is difficult to discern.
Because it is a plant-like life form, it has no gender.
"King of Origins, what brings you here?"
"King of Listening Flowers, I want to ask you about the whereabouts of King Dark Assassin."
Qi Yuan cut to the chase and said directly, "My good brother, King Kunpeng, has a grudge against King Dark Assassin and wants to cause him trouble. Can you provide King Dark Assassin's coordinates? If the information is accurate, I can pay you 10 billion military merit points as a reward."
The King of Listening Flowers' eyes lit up, and the flowers on its head suddenly bloomed and swayed incessantly.
He downed the wine in one gulp. "Good! I've long heard that the Kunpeng King has a record of killing an Immortal King, and I've always wanted to befriend him! Hehe, he's going to cause trouble for the Dark Assassin King, and I'll provide you with information even if I don't ask for any reward! Just wait, I'll contact the others in our Northern Frontier Alliance right away."
Not only did he readily agree, but he also gave Qi Yuan detailed information about the Dark Assassin King.
This Dark Assassin King possesses a treasured Dark Assassin Divine Armor, which is both offensive and defensive, and was bestowed upon him by the Lord of Qilan.
Dark Assassin King was a disciple of Lord Qilan. He was very talented and naturally arrogant. Many of the Kings and Immortals in the Northern Frontier Alliance disliked him.
However, out of respect for the Lord of Qilan, they couldn't bring themselves to teach him a lesson.
Moreover, he possesses the Dark Thorn Armor, so even if the Listening Flower King is slightly stronger than him, he cannot do anything to him.
Several months after the banquet with King Linghua, a strange fluctuation emanated from Qi Yuan's residence, and his Tu Yu body awoke—
