The people who arrived early at the mountain peak were all the pride of their worlds, even star systems, deep celestial regions.
For them, beings from high-level civilizations, the ancient vast path was not considered the highest-level trial.
So geniuses from remote star zones curiously looked around.
Zhou Leng sat by the Star Ascending Stone, feeling a bit fatigued, so he took various pills and then ditated to operate the Great Sun Divine Skill.
Originally, it was just normal cultivation, but unexpectedly, his body trembled like a powder keg set ablaze.
Above in the sky, the massive Giant Super Galaxy released endless star power, forming a huge starry funnel, with the lower end landing on Zhou Leng.
The silver light was so intense, it triggered waves of colorful force fields, splattering colorful light points in all directions, like a giant firework in bloom.
Within the silver light, starry true energy surged through Zhou Leng, his skin gradually turned a deep red.
The chest and abdon roared like rolling thunder.
The nearby cosmic geniuses turned their heads to look.
Many had puzzled expressions.
Isn’t this the "starlight baptism" that should be done after ascending to a demigod?
Could it be possible that soone ascended to the mountain peak so quickly without undergoing starlight baptism?
The high civilization geniuses felt a bit bewildered.
For themselves, they could never reach here so fast without the starlight baptism.
But soon, they understood.
This person must either not be a genius from a high civilization, or he is the impoverished descendant of a high civilization from remote star zones.
So he doesn’t even know the basic demigod cultivation.
In normal high civilizations, major forces would invite void gods to guide star power on a large scale, allowing demigods to undergo starlight baptism for free.
But in many places, there are no void gods.
This ti, the vast ancient path happened to be near a Giant Super Galaxy, with star power far exceeding usual, hence the opportunity.
Still, without relying on void gods, being able to trigger starlight baptism by oneself is considered exceptional among high civilization geniuses.
Only a few top talents glanced over without concern.
Zhou Leng was unaware of what transpired, thinking it was a reward for climbing, so he calmly operated the Great Sun Divine Skill.
The massive influx of star power not only strengthened the body, elevated the realm, but also gradually altered the Great Sun Divine Skill technique.
Unconsciously, his understanding and application of starry true energy beca increasingly proficient.
In no ti, the Great Sun Divine Skill operated to its limit, yet the star power continued unendingly.
Zhou Leng switched to cultivating the Undying Star Body.
The realm of the Undying Star Body progressed at an unprecedented speed.
When the Undying Star Body reached its limit, he switched to cultivating the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.
Within, the star phoenix feathers quickly increased.
The star phoenix feathers lost due to the heavy injuries inflicted by the Beastman Demigod King were replenished.
Suddenly, a clear and bright bird cry erupted from Zhou Leng.
One hundred thousand star phoenix feathers, fully gathered.
The Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique, finally reached a new realm.
The clothes on his back shattered, turning to dust.
A cluster of silver flas burned from the neck down to the coccyx, igniting along the entire spine.
Next, a second cry rang out.
The silver fla expanded to the sides, covering the back, fiercely blazing.
A third cry sounded.
Whoosh...
Silver flas flew out from his back, unfolding behind him, transforming into two silver fla wings, like a star phoenix fledgling.
The nearby cosmic geniuses nodded slightly.
So it’s a star phoenix bloodline or cultivation technique, which, in normal high civilizations, is already the top technique a demigod can cultivate.
Further beyond, only elite civilizations, ancient realms, and divine races possess such techniques.
After a long while, the light wings retracted, returning to the spine, and Zhou Leng opened his eyes.
The body felt slightly sore and tingling, a strange sensation, while the mind was clear, yet the muscles and bones felt "heavy" as if filled with lead.
No, filled with lead could no longer describe the current state of the body.
More akin to being filled with neutron star fragnts.
"You just went through starlight baptism, and it seems you possess cosmic talents, the body feels unusually heavy, take a walk slowly and you’ll get used to it," a voice echoed.
Zhou Leng slowly turned his head to look, seeing a giant enveloped in skeletal chains, a Ring Bone Giant.
Unlike typical Ring Bone Giants, the center of his neck was replaced by a slightly red gemstone, resembling a shrunken star.
"Thank you," Zhou Leng replied.
"No need to thank , we t on the road, though you might not rember . I’m called Chain of the Toppled Bone."
"Zhoutian Jihan."
"You should slowly adapt, the ancient bridge will take so ti to start."
Zhou Leng nodded and slowly stood up.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The joints sounded like colliding stars, emitting continuous explosive roars.
Chain of the Toppled Bone paused for a mont and, like the nearby other geniuses, gently shook his head.
Why is this guy so strong?
A lower demigod, just completed starlight baptism, and already the bones start "stellar collisions."
Zhou Leng also felt that his bones underwent trendous change, especially the bone marrow within the spine, which seed to undergo a peculiar transformation, forming its space.
The marrow cells ford a rod-shaped galaxy from top to bottom.
He had read about so of this in the extracurricular books from the Crystal Sky Dust, but after all, they were just extracurricular books, not detailed.
Zhou Leng pondered, mimicking those naturally sociable friends, took out a dicinal fruit from the Fierce Beast World, and tossed it to Chain of the Toppled Bone, saying, "Hey, buddy, thanks..."
Boom...
That dicinal fruit shot like a cannonball, uncontrollably breaking through the air at dozens of tis the speed of sound, igniting in mid-air due to intense air friction.
The new body was sowhat unfamiliar.
"Any more?" Chain of the Toppled Bone ca over, extending a hand.
Quite unreserved.
Zhou Leng carefully took out a new dicinal fruit and placed it in Chain of the Toppled Bone’s hand.
"Never seen..." Chain of the Toppled Bone stared at it for a while before swallowing it.
"Hiss... so sweet?" His face twisted, lightly shaking his jaw, like an ordinary person swallowing a large mouthful of highly concentrated vinegar essence.
"Hmm?" Zhou Leng noticed sothing amiss, "Does your race dislike sweet things?"
"We prefer sour."
Zhou Leng casually took out a dicinal fruit so sour it made one’s teeth ache, even when he was a grandmaster.
Chain of the Toppled Bone took it, lightly sniffed, eyes brightened, put it in his mouth, lightly chewed, smiling, nodding continually.
"Tasty!"
Zhou Leng gave him a few fruits and started chatting, discussing the vast ancient path and starlight baptism.
Because they both possessed Giant Bloodline, coupled with Chain of the Toppled Bone being outgoing, they quickly attracted over a dozen genius giants, gathering around.
Everyone took out food and dicinal fruits from their respective races, sharing with one another.
All were from different regions, each other’s specialties were novel items to the others, making everyone feel eye-opening.
The preferences varied among races, surprisingly, so races loved eating pickled shark urinary at and rotten bird sauce, Zhou Leng didn’t partake but expressed respect.
The Giant Race traditionally has muscle-bound and simple-minded individuals, and since there was no conflict of interest at the mont, the exchange was quite pleasant.
So far-off alien tribes looked on with envy.
Groups of trial takers successively reached the mountain peak.
Soon, the ghost-faced giants of the sa group as Zhou Leng, led by Wudian Zhiyai and others, arrived.
Wudian Zhiyai walked around, upon seeing Ring Bone Giant Chain of the Toppled Bone, hesitated for a mont, approached, kneeled on one knee, clasped chest with both hands, bowed, and greeted.
