Crack!
Crack...
Countless pieces of dirt, broken stones, and leaves—all the lighter materials—started to levitate as if they lost gravity, struck by the increasingly dense electric currents in the air, turning to dust.
Gradually, even the ground was lifted in a layer.
Ji Xinghuo remained seated with his legs crossed, also gently floating midair.
Invisible Ether Energy surged from all directions, pouring into his body, being absorbed and converted, as his Star Power values began to skyrocket rapidly.
In the black night sky, thunder rumbled faintly.
Ji Xinghuo felt this wondrous state, indescribable in words, as if he had beco the center of the universe at that mont. Everything, all things, were within his control and all possibilities were within reach.
This state lasted for a few minutes.
His Star Power surged wildly, breaking through 33,000 points. The radius of his electromagnetic induction reached 100 kiloters, and his control over electromagnetic waves beca more deeply microscopic, with an effective range of about 1000 ters.
The sky was filled with leaping electric arcs, and within a thousand ters, those materials suspended midair all turned to dust.
It was as if they were shattered at the molecular level, completely disintegrating.
Crack!
A shocking thunderclap tore across the night sky.
Ji Xinghuo, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them, unleashing a thick, wave-like beam of light from his eyes. Like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, it shot up to the sky, lasting a few seconds before dissipating.
The surrounding anomalies disappeared with it, and countless specks of dust scattered down, falling to the ground as darkness reclaid the night.
"Phew..."
Ji Xinghuo’s heart surged with excitent.
Then, a little impatiently, he opened the interface to see the upgraded information.
[Ability: Electromagnetic Oscillation (Sixth Level 1/1000081)]
"That’s a lot!"
Even though Ji Xinghuo had ntally prepared himself, the sight of the seven-digit figure—an entire million and change—still shocked him.
But his confidence quickly returned.
There were too many Earth Devouring Worms in the Silent Wilderness; the twenty-plus days he spent hunting them were just a drop in the ocean. One million Spiritual Origin Ability might seem like a lot, but as long as he hunted for a few months on Black Ring Star, it would surely be enough.
His Six-Level Electromagnetic Oscillation remained a Star Fall Ability.
"Seventh Level should be enough to advance to the Solar Eclipse Ability," Ji Xinghuo thought, referring to the "King of Annihilation" from Jiu You. The King of Annihilation at Seventh Level was a Solar Eclipse Ability, and Electromagnetic Oscillation should be similar.
He carefully felt his strength after the upgrade.
The biggest gain was mastering a new power, the ability to emit beams from his eyes to attack targets from a distance.
Having frequently used Jiu You’s "High Energy Beam" these days, Ji Xinghuo was very familiar with this type of attack.
He flickered electrical light in his eyes again, releasing another beam.
Crack!
A jagged beam of light illuminated the night sky, hitting the ground hundreds of ters away and cutting a trench.
"Let’s call it Electromagnetic Wave," Ji Xinghuo nad his new ability.
After several tests, he found the Electromagnetic Wave beam’s power was far greater than the High Energy Beam. Its range was consistent with his control over electromagnetic waves, reaching as far as 1000 ters. Beyond that distance, energy would significantly dissipate and its lethality would drop sharply.
The Electromagnetic Wave beam consud both Spiritual Energy and Star Power.
A burst of terrifying heat was released in an instant, resembling an electric arc, and the release was extrely fast. If the enemy was unprepared, it was nearly impossible to avoid.
"So strong!"
Ji Xinghuo was thrilled.
The only downside was that it consud too much Spiritual Star Power. Each release required at least a thousand points of Star Power, and maintaining it for a second cost over 300 points.
And this didn’t even account for the consumption of Spiritual Energy.
However...
Ji Xinghuo looked at the value on the interface.
[Star Power: 33408]
The upgrade of Electromagnetic Oscillation truly differed from other abilities; it even drove the conversion of Ether Energy into Star Power. Of course, it could also be because he had two Ether Resonances, causing a chain reaction during the upgrade.
With a thought, Ji Xinghuo willed the Magnetic Spirit Star Core to output Star Power.
Instantly, a hazy electric light emanated from all over his body, as if a stream was flowing on his skin, tangible.
Star Power Emission!
This is the sign of reaching the Legendary Second Dan.
When he was on the Black Ring Star, Ji Xinghuo had not cultivated at all, relying solely on the effects of three instances of Ether Resonance to automatically grow his Star Power. Engaging in combat every day, after his Star Power was depleted and then restored, it would also promote growth.
Originally, the plan was to return to Titanium Ring City and cultivate for a period of ti before the Destructive Dragon Festival started, in order to advance to the Legendary Second Dan.
It happened earlier than expected.
Having beco a Mutant for four years, Ji Xinghuo was seeing the form of his own Star Power for the first ti.
It was clearly different from other people’s Star Power, highly condensed and accompanied by electromagnetic force.
"The emission of Star Power ans an increase in the density of Star Power, but it is still in a flowing state without any substantial changes," Ji Xinghuo thought.
Many mutants at the Legendary Second Dan would fuse with a defense-class Alien Species, combining the characteristics of Star Power Emission to increase defense power.
This is extrely valuable for professions with insufficient defense.
Ji Xinghuo, however, did not need it.
He was not lacking in defense asures, as the Flow Barrier and Holy Scale Armor were both Sixth Level, and their combined defense power was stronger than that of most Heavenly Kings
If he managed to obtain the "Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body," the defense power would reach its pinnacle.
There was no need to waste a fusion chance for superfluous defense.
"Such a rare expansion item!"
Ji Xinghuo sighed; he had kept one opportunity for the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body and yet had not found any usable expansion item so far.
Throughout the entire Legendary Stage, he had only fused with three Alien Species.
Such accumulation was insufficient.
More Alien Species needed to be fused to increase the Star Power limit. At this rate, upon reaching the peak of the Legendary Stage, his Star Power should only be around fifty thousand.
Although this was already several tis more than the majority of legendary powerhouses, Ji Xinghuo was not satisfied.
The leader had said that the first six evolutions of a Mutant were all in preparation for the assault on becoming a Shepherd Star Saint.
The more accumulated, the stronger the Star Power.
The lower the difficulty of advancing to be a Shepherd Star Saint in the future.
"I must fuse with at least five Alien Species before I can promote to Heavenly King," Ji Xinghuo resolved.
He glanced at the date.
By the day and night cycles of Black Ring Star, there were still nearly 100 days before the Destructive Dragon Festival began, so there was plenty of ti, and he could harvest a lot of Spiritual Origin Energy.
"Electromagnetic Oscillation upgrade should be slowed down."
"The Spiritual Origin Energy obtained next will be prioritized for enhancing other Abilities, comprehensively strengthening myself, in preparation for the Destructive Dragon Festival."
"Additionally, I must reserve so Spiritual Origin Energy. If I acquire the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body, I can upgrade it imdiately."
Ji Xinghuo had made his follow-up plans.
After resting, he set off again to continue hunting.
The upgrade to Sixth Level Electromagnetic Oscillation expanded his electromagnetic perception to 100 kiloters. In an instant, Ji Xinghuo located all monsters within that range, once more heightening hunting efficiency. By dawn, the Spiritual Origin Energy had exceeded ten thousand points.
Days passed.
In the over twenty million square kiloters of the Silent Wilderness, Ji Xinghuo appeared and disappeared like a phantom, slaughtering endlessly day and night.
The Spiritual Origin Energy grew rapidly, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand...
Ji Xinghuo did not utilize it just yet, watching as the numbers of Spiritual Origin Energy climbed ever higher, he felt an inexplicable joy akin to saving money.
When there were little over forty days left before the Destructive Dragon Festival, his Spiritual Origin Energy surged past five hundred thousand points!
"Aim for one million!"
Ji Xinghuo would occasionally open the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil to check, filled with motivation. After another continuous day and night of hunting, after reaping another wave of Spiritual Origin Energy, he was about to set up camp to rest when he suddenly perceived danger in his mind.
"What is it?"
Lurking in the shadows, Ji Xinghuo promptly looked toward the west.
This was the western region of the Silent Wilderness, and a hundred more kiloters to the west was the edge. Nearby hunting teams were rare, and Earth Devouring Worms were relatively few.
But at this mont, Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic perception revealed an enormous creature unlike any he had seen before!
It was located more than four thousand ters underground.
At such a depth, with billions of tons of soil and rock acting as barriers, Ji Xinghuo would not have been able to detect it if his Electromagnetic Oscillation were still at Fifth Level.
Because it was too far away, Ji Xinghuo could not determine its rank for the mont, so he quickly approached it by rging with the shadows. On the surface about a dozen kiloters away, he clearly probed the information of this Earth Devouring Worm.
Earthquake Level!
Ji Xinghuo’s spirits lifted; it must be the Earthquake Level Earth Devouring Worm that countless people had been searching for!
