[System Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully broken through to Stellar Realm Stage 1!]
[The next stage of the Undying God-Body has been unlocked!!]
The notification echoed in Lance’s mind. He imdiately closed his eyes, imrsing himself in the sensations of his changing physiology.
Every single cell in his body was dividing and regenerating at a terrifying rate. His cellular activity and vitality surged, skyrocketing in an instant. Cellular activity dictated the speed of his physical regeneration, while vitality governed his total lifespan.
Lance realized his vitality wasn't just holding steady; it was actually increasing over ti. Theoretically, his lifespan had reached infinity.
"It’s the Undying God-Body. Infinite life should be standard procedure, right?"
Lance quickly accepted the change. If it didn't grant immortality, the Undying God-Body would have been a massive disappointnt.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Host! The Undying God-Body’s threshold for physical destruction has reached its limit. Physical status: Total Destruction.]
[As long as the Soul exists, instant resurrection is possible. Additionally, Soul and Physical recovery speeds have been increased by 100x!]
Lance’s eyes lit up as the alert faded. Another hundred-fold increase in recovery speed. By his calculations, his Berserk Absorption cultivation speed would multiply several tis over. This ant his overall cultivation rate had skyrocketed to 400 tis its original speed.
Furthermore, he now only needed a hundred-thousandth of his Soul to remain intact for a full-health resurrection. As a result, the level of his Eternal Soul Protocol jumped, reaching Level 9: Shattered.
At Level 9, the Eternal Soul Protocol provided a staggering 512-fold boost to his combat power.
"I’m only in the Stellar Realm and I’ve already tapped into almost everything the Eternal Soul Protocol has to offer. That ans by the ti I reach the Galactic Realm, the technique will have hit its limit."
Lance’s eyes flickered. If the Eternal Soul Protocol plateaued, it would no longer provide significant strength multipliers in the higher realms. His ability to fight above his rank would inevitably begin to drop.
He had anticipated this, however. It was impossible to fight three major realms above his own forever. If that were the case, a Domain Lord Class could simply erase an Immortal Grade from existence—the gap between the two was as vast as an ant compared to a god. High-tier techniques and innate talents alone couldn't bridge that chasm indefinitely.
But Lance wasn't worried. He currently held eight Reconstruction Quotas, which ant he could force Level 12 techniques and talents to break past their natural limits. Once he reached the Star Sea Realm, he would evolve the Immortal Grade Eternal Soul Protocol, pushing it to a level of power that was truly terrifying.
"My recovery speed has increased four hundred tis, but my resurrection speed within The Infinite Trial Grounds hasn't changed at all. It’s still capped at a hundred resurrections per second."
Lance frowned. Because The Virtual Universe limited the frequency of his resurrections, relying solely on the system’s death-loop to farm power ant he was still stuck at a rate of 1 trillion CON and Soul points per hour.
To upgrade from the 10 trillion CON required for Stellar Realm Stage 1 to the 20 trillion needed for Stage 2, he would need ten full hours. While that was still incredibly fast by normal standards, his manual cultivation speed had already surged to 120 trillion per hour. They weren't even in the sa league anymore.
Lance looked at his surroundings. He was still caught in a loop of dying and reviving over and over.
"Wait... if I protect my Soul from being extinguished, I can keep my physical body in a constant state of repair. That would be the equivalent of infinite resurrections."
Protecting his Soul was a simple task. If he grew just a few stages stronger and focused entirely on Soul defense, he could tank the full-force strikes of these Universal Class Stage 3 enemies. His Soul and body would remain in a state of perpetual healing. This "near-death" regeneration speed was significantly faster than the recovery provided by Berserk Absorption.
Lance’s eyes narrowed. Using this thod, his cultivation speed could hit at least three or four hundred trillion per hour.
As he grew stronger, he could simply lower his Soul defenses to maintain the state. Even if he reached the Galactic Realm, if he left his Soul completely exposed, a Star Sea Realm could still obliterate him. And even if he miscalculated and got vaporized, The Virtual Universe would just bring him back instantly. There was zero risk.
"Incredible. This kind of cultivation can only be pulled off inside The Virtual Universe. In the outside world, unless you have a top-tier Soul defense artifact, you’d eventually screw up and die for real."
Lance smirked. With the system and the Undying God-Body, he was the only person capable of this "cheat" cultivation. Even if soone else possessed the sa body type, they couldn't replicate his results.
The most critical factor was the energy supply. It had to be massive, high-grade, and most importantly, non-harmful to the human body. Almost nothing in existence t all three criteria. High-grade energy was usually too volatile for low-level cultivators, causing them to explode upon contact. Gentle energy, on the other hand, was absorbed too slowly to be efficient.
However, the life and Soul energy reserves provided by the system—originally ant to fix various exploits—perfectly combined all three advantages. The energy was high-grade, the absorption was terrifyingly efficient, and it caused Lance no harm.
Without another mont of hesitation, he closed his eyes. His main consciousness took control of his physical body in the real world and began to cultivate.
The world around him erupted.
Rumble!
In an instant, boundless energy surged into Lance’s body like a raging flood.
The mont this energy appeared, it tore through his ridians, flesh, and even his Soul, shattering them with violent force.
Fortunately, Lance’s natural regeneration had reached a terrifying speed, nding his body tens of thousands of tis per second.
The injuries caused by the torrential energy vanished as quickly as they appeared.
Lance imdiately accelerated his absorption rate. His initial thousandfold cultivation speed instantly quintupled, reaching over four thousand tis its base rate.
This cultivation speed caused his already hundredfold recovery rate to skyrocket to a staggering four hundred tis.
Previously, an hour of cultivation yielded 300 billion energy units. Now, with a four-hundredfold increase, that figure hit a massive 120 trillion per hour.
Ding... Congratulations, Host! After five minutes of training the Physical Body and Soul with Berserk Absorption, CON 10 Trillion, Soul 10 Trillion! Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Realm, Rank 2!!
A re five minutes in, the notification chid in his mind.
Lance didn't stop, pushing forward with his cultivation.
Ding... Congratulations, Host! After 10 minutes of training the Physical Body and Soul with Berserk Absorption, CON 20 Trillion, Soul 20 Trillion! Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Tier, Rank 3!!
Ding... Congratulations, Host! After 20 minutes of training the Physical Body and Soul with Berserk Absorption, CON 40 Trillion, Soul 40 Trillion! Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Realm, Rank 4!!
...
...
Ti flowed rapidly as Lance imrsed himself in his training.
Leaving a strand of consciousness to manage the cultivation process, Lance shifted his primary focus to his final Reconstruction Quota.
This specific quota was a new reward granted by the system after his breakthrough to the Stellar Class.
"The Eight Sacred Canons are on the verge of reaching the Perfect Stage. Once they do, I can synthesize them into the Tier 15 technique, The Celestial Treasure Canon. I wonder what kind of power it holds? A Tier 15 technique shouldn't be anything less than extraordinary."
He eyed the technique, his curiosity piqued.
He wondered if repairing all of The Eight Sacred Canons before synthesis would allow him to create an even higher-tier technique.
Could such a high-level technique then undergo Reconstruction?
If so, it would undoubtedly surpass the reconstructed version of the current Celestial Treasure Canon.
"Wait, haven't I encountered sothing like this before? Things that are repaired beco perfect, leaving no room for further reconstruction. Even if I could fuse them after repairing the Eight Sacred Canons, the result would likely be identical to a reconstructed Celestial Treasure Canon. Besides, a technique with its flaws already fixed probably can't undergo Reconstruction a second ti."
Lance’s eyes flickered. He quickly dismissed the idea of taking such a shortcut.
If the fused technique turned out the sa after wasting eight Reconstruction Quotas on individual components, it would be a massive waste.
After all, the Celestial Treasure Canon was a single technique; one quota was all it needed.
With that settled, he checked the progress of The Eight Sacred Canons.
Each of the eight canons had reached the limit of the Great Success Stage.
However, he realized they were still quite a distance away from reaching the Perfect Stage.
"This won't work. At this rate, I won't hit the Perfect Stage within the day, and the Reconstruction Quota refreshes in an hour or two. I’ll have to use it on sothing else for now."
Lance frowned at the progress.
These were Tier 12 Peak-grade techniques. Even though his Elental Saint Body had evolved into the Primordial Sovereign Physique—a powerful Tier 13 constitution—he still couldn't master Tier 12 manuals to perfection in a single day.
There was only a one-tier difference between Tier 12 and Tier 13.
Mastering eight Tier 12 Peak techniques simultaneously was a daunting task.
Still, he estimated he would have enough ti before the Universal Genius Competition began.
Without further hesitation, he pulled up his Status Panel.
Fortunately, he possessed nurous techniques and martial arts already at the Perfect Stage. Though they were only Tier 11, they were still imnsely powerful.
"You'll do."
His eyes landed on a Tier 10 High-grade technique: The Body of the Berserk God.
This was one of his primary Body Cultivation Manuals. Because his body tempering techniques were lagging behind in level, his physical combat prowess was significantly lower than his Divine Soul capabilities.
"System, repair all Exploits in the Body of the Berserk God!!"
Lance issued the command without a second thought.
Ding... Command accepted. The Body of the Berserk God currently has 33 Trillion Exploits. Reconstruction will now begin!
The system notification echoed in his mind. He had already checked the number of Exploits beforehand.
In fact, the high number of Exploits was the very reason he had chosen this specific technique.
With 33 trillion Exploits repaired, it would ascend to beco a powerhouse technique of the Immortal Realm.
Furthermore, since this was his first body-tempering technique to reach the trillion-Exploit milestone, it would receive a system bonus, jumping an entire major rank to reach the mid-tier Immortal Class.
To make it even better, it would be at the Perfect Stage. In the vast universe, Immortal Realm techniques were the absolute pinnacle. Many Supre Divinities practiced manuals that were no better than this.
Most Immortal Realm experts weren't even qualified to possess such a technique, let alone dream of training it to perfection.
Those lucky enough to own one usually only reached the Proficient Stage.
Reaching the Perfect Stage was an astronomical feat.
Yet Lance wasn't just practicing it; he was obtaining it at the Perfect Stage instantaneously.
If word of this ever got out, this fact alone would make him the most coveted prize among the universe's many powerhouses.
