Inside the world ring, bloody mist continuously emanated from Qin Hao’s pores as various impurities were expelled from his body.
The surrounding cosmic energy rapidly converged, continuously integrating into his body, driving its transformation. After transforming into the Congenital Dao Body, Qin Hao had already begun re-cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.
With the experience of his first cultivation, this re-cultivation progressed swiftly. In just a few months, the first stage of cultivation was nearing completion, and he was currently undergoing the final transformation process.
As a God-Devil Body Refining Art from Desolate Era, the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, although undergoing significant changes after entering the Swallowed Star world, remained incredibly powerful in terms of physical cultivation.
As cosmic energy continuously converged, Qin Hao’s body transformation accelerated. His skin, muscles, bones, meridians, blood vessels, blood, and bone marrow all underwent a comprehensive strengthening and transformation.
Simultaneously, deep within his cells, his genes were also being continuously strengthened, and more genes were being activated.
In Desolate Era, the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram brought about physical strengthening and transformation, but in the world of Swallowed Star, in addition to this strengthening and transformation, the genetic changes were even more pronounced.
Qin Hao was immersed in this transformation, feeling his body continuously strengthen, and the surrounding laws became increasingly clear.
And just as the transformation was about to complete, Qin Hao’s three Dantians—upper, middle, and lower—also began to tremble. The Astral Ranks within the Dantians rapidly absorbed cosmic energy, continuously expanding their scope, and the Astral Ranks also rapidly expanded and contracted, as if growing along with his genes.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz”
As the three Dantians changed, a resonance gradually formed between them, and a buzzing sound rang out, causing the surrounding cosmic energy to converge even more rapidly.
“Magical changes,” Qin Hao felt extremely novelty as he sensed the changes in his three Dantians. At the same time, he composed himself and focused his attention on the cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.
“Just one more step, and the first stage will be complete.”
Qin Hao’s cultivation continued, and the changes in his Dantians gradually persisted. At this moment, the upper, middle, and lower Dantians seemed to be gradually merging with the cultivation process of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, completing their own transformation and growth through its cultivation.
“Boom!”
A powerful force formed a huge shockwave, spreading outwards from Qin Hao.
“Finally, success.” Qin Hao stood up, feeling the immense power within his body. He threw a punch, and a powerful fist wind raged.
“I didn’t expect this cultivation to actually lead to further growth,” the restrictive feeling of his clothes drew Qin Hao’s attention to his body. His muscles had become more powerful, and he had grown ten centimeters taller, now approaching two meters.
The biggest change, however, was his perception of the surrounding laws. Their clarity had increased threefold, and his comprehension felt smoother, as if the laws were laid bare before his eyes.
However, this was just an aftereffect of the breakthrough, and it wasn’t actually that exaggerated.
“The most pleasant surprise is the change in my Dantians.” Qin Hao felt the surging power within his Dantians. The scope of his three Dantians had expanded threefold, and the Astral Ranks had also expanded threefold. At the same time, Qin Hao felt a faint connection between his upper, middle, and lower Dantians.
Mobilizing the power within his Dantians, the three Dantians gradually resonated, and the power within his body surged forth once again.
“Three times, a full three times increase in power?!” Qin Hao was even more shocked as he felt the power in his body. The cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram had increased his genes threefold, and now Qin Hao’s genes had reached 30 times.
Now, with the blessing of the three Dantians’ resonating power, Qin Hao’s power had increased by another 3 times, plus the threefold transformation of the power within the Dantians themselves.
This time, Qin Hao’s peak combat power had increased by 27 times compared to before. He could unleash 270 times the power of a cultivator at the same rank, completely capable of fighting across ranks.
“Currently, I’m Astral Rank Three, with 270 times the power. My pure strength can already contend with Universe Rank, and with the addition of domain and law power, I’m considered a strong individual even among Universe Rank.” Unconsciously, he had already gained power that could be called invincible among Universe Rank.
“However, it’s only ‘called invincible’,” Qin Hao was also very clear that the gap between Astral Rank and Universe Rank was not just a matter of power.
His clone’s ability to crush Caesar stemmed more from the suppression of thousandfold genes. Thousandfold genes represented a fundamental difference in life, not just power, but an all-around strength. Every special life form was a darling of the universe.
“However, it’s enough for now. I won’t encounter too strong opponents in the short term. After participating in the Genius Battle and entering the Primordial Universe, there will be a long period of strength improvement.” As Qin Hao thought, his figure had already appeared outside the world ring.
“Hmm, an alien spaceship has arrived.” The information on his smart wristband caught Qin Hao’s attention.
With a flash, Qin Hao quickly arrived at Luo Feng’s home. At this time, Luo Feng had just sent out the warning video and was waiting for a reply.
“This time it shouldn’t be simple,” Qin Hao’s voice sounded beside Luo Feng, startling Luo Feng into quickly jumping aside.
“Scaring people to death,” Luo Feng said in an annoyed tone, “Earth is no longer an ownerless planet, so they shouldn’t act recklessly, right?”
“101 Astral Ranks, coming fiercely. It’s not an ordinary spaceship; they definitely have a purpose. As for the attack system, if there’s any unusual movement, attack immediately.” Qin Hao told Luo Feng, while also instructing Gu Lao to activate Earth’s planetary defense system’s attack system.
This D-class planetary defense system was capable of resisting Territory Lord Rank attacks. Although its attacks couldn’t pose a threat to a Territory Lord, they still had some effect against Astral Rank.
However, it was more about surprise. The powerful energy required to attack an Astral Rank, both for condensation and launch, required time. Once an Astral Rank discovered it, they would evade.
This was also the best defense system Qin Hao could buy on Dragon Planet. More advanced ones could only be purchased from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s administrative office or Ganwu Star.
“It seems Earth has been exposed. I wonder if it’s the Nolan Mountain Family this time.” Qin Hao also felt some concern in his heart. Nolan Mountain’s identity and strength as a Great Axe martial artist were not to be underestimated, not to mention the vast family power.
Outside Earth, Pula looked at the video on the screen, his expression not good. He had originally intended to enter Earth stealthily, but he hadn’t expected to be blocked outside like this.
“Atuka, contact Earth’s Luo Feng for a video call.” Pula calmed his emotions and said coldly.
“There’s a call request, from the outer space spaceship,” Babata appeared and said.
“It seems they don’t intend to retreat just yet. Connect it and see what they have to say,” Qin Hao told Luo Feng. Luo Feng nodded.
