Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 700 - 371: The 4th Divine Soldier, Earth Emperor Star

In the blink of an eye, almost one-fifth of the Spirit Stones in Lu Yu's backpack was consumed, and his Spiritual Power cultivation reached the peak of the second level of the Core Formation Realm.

With the basic amplification of the Sun Star breaking through twenty times, it was upgraded to a three-star Divine Soldier, and Lu Yu's cultivation was elevated to the third level of the Core Formation Realm.

The Spiritual Power inside him rapidly gathered into an outline of a Golden Core, with a new blank star about to be born.

Lu Yu's body absorbed the Spiritual Qi from over three million Spirit Stones, most of which remained accumulated within him, yet to be digested.

Although the formation of the fourth Golden Core required ten times more Spiritual Qi than the third, Lu Yu did not feel much pressure.

Billions of units of Spiritual Qi converged in his Dantian, continuously compressing, liquefying, and solidifying, forming a completely new blank star.

With time acceleration, the speed of Core Formation increased significantly.

Almost as soon as Core Formation began, it was nearing completion, and the large amount of Spiritual Qi inside Lu Yu was entirely consumed.

With a breath, a new Golden Core spun rapidly within his Dantian, surrounded by a golden-red star and a dark blue star.

The undying star was in Lu Yu's heart, so only three Golden Cores remained in his Dantian.

With the Golden Core formed, the next step was refining the Divine Soldiers.

Lu Yu's steps were still inexorably drawn into the depths of the time stream by the black hair; he needed stronger power to break free.

His first thought was to refine the Kunpeng Feather; once refined, he could attain space-type abilities, which might allow him to escape.

But he quickly recalled the scene when refining the Heart of the Immortal, how it resonated so well with him, yet the process was achingly arduous, nearly GG.

He had no innate space ability, and his resonance with Kunpeng Feather would be very low, making the refinement much more difficult.

Given the current situation, if he chose to refine Kunpeng Feather, the chances of failure would be exceedingly high.

After pondering, the four top-tier Spiritual Objects, the one most suitable to refine under this circumstance, was the Nine Heavens and Earth.

When he cultivated earth escape to the extreme, he formed an inexplicable connection with the earth, and the Nine Heavens and Earth was the legendary origin of the earth's creation.

In this way, his resonance with the Nine Heavens and Earth was seemingly not low.

As for the other two, Taixu Ancient Dragon's reverse scale and the Heart of the Ocean, neither could alleviate his present predicament; he needed power, not defense or unlimited Spiritual Qi.

Lu Yu took out the Nine Heavens and Earth, and as it emerged, the surrounding black hair scattered, unable to touch the Nine Heavens and Earth.

His eyes lit up; the potential of the Nine Heavens and Earth could far exceed his expectations.

The blank star flew out, absorbing the Nine Heavens and Earth, beginning the refinement.

Lu Yu felt himself transforming into a piece of land, lying amidst an expanse of darkness, with nothing to see, smell, or hear.

Yet, he felt himself growing, constantly becoming larger.

A thought suddenly emerged in Lu Yu's mind: he had turned into a piece of soil, and what he perceived as growth was the Nine Heavens and Earth's maturation process, gradually transforming into a continent.

Time passed for a long, long time, and Lu Yu had grown enormous; he had long forgotten he was human, perceiving himself as a continent, a land without conscious thought, growing ever larger.

Suddenly, he realized he had touched a boundary; his body could not extend past the boundary and could only grow in other directions.

Until he felt all sides reaching their limits, unable to expand further.

Yet, he didn't stop devouring; he continued ceaselessly, yearning to break through the boundary.

As the space felt increasingly cramped, an idea surfaced — this space was too small; he needed to get out, to escape...

He didn't know how long it took, but eventually, he amassed enough land to break through the boundary.

Just as he prepared to breach the boundary, an intense sense of fear arose, as if great terror awaited beyond.

He pondered, he reflected, he imagined... imagining the world outside.

After much contemplation, a question formed in his mind — What am I?

He thought for a long time, then suddenly awoke — "I am human!"

"I am a person!"

"My name is Lu Yu, and I am a human from Earth!"

"I am now in a game called the Divine Martial World, preparing to refine a Divine Soldier..."

At this thought, time seemed to freeze, coming to a halt, followed by a startling "crack" shattering his perceived world.

As perception returned to his body, Lu Yu felt an immense force beneath him, surging within; his strength felt infinite.

He suddenly opened his eyes, shooting an intense glare, observing the countless black hairs around him, he gathered all his power.

"Stop!"

Bang! Lu Yu stomped on the ground, halting his forward motion, rooting as if planted; no amount of black hair could move his body.

Snap, snap, snap~ The black hair stretched taut, emitting burdensome noises, as Lu Yu actively grasped the hair, twisting it into a rope in his hand.

"Come to me!"

Lu Yu acknowledged he could not proceed; the time velocity ahead was beyond his bearing.

In this place, every minute equaled the loss of a day, or even several days.

Firmly gripping the black hair, he strained to pull backward, feeling something extracted by his force.
