BOOM!!!
At that exact mont, a torrent of violent mories flooded into Lance’s mind like a crashing tide. These mories weren't random fragnts; they contained the secrets of an incredibly powerful physical cultivation technique.
As Lance scanned the na and the cultivation thods of this technique, his heart hamred against his ribs in sheer shock.
"Holy sht... it’s this legendary technique? This thing actually exists?!"
Lance stood there, completely dazed. Finally, under the influence of the system’s power, he achieved a perfect, absolute mastery over the technique ingrained in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your cultivation technique, The Berserk God Body, has had all exploits repaired. It has successfully evolved into a Tier 15 technique: Heavenly Giant Manifestation (Immortal Class!)]
[Heavenly Giant Manifestation: A legendary and formidable technique created by The Sky-Splitter. Under normal conditions, it increases physical strength by 64 tis. When actively triggered, the user’s physical body can expand billions of tis over in an instant, granting the power to achieve the Destruction of all things. At your current realm, your physical body can grow to a height of 10 billion kiloters, increasing your strength by 512 tis!]
The system’s notifications faded as the repair process concluded. Lance’s eyes lit up with a predatory gleam.
How could he not know the na Heavenly Giant Manifestation? In his past life, he had spent years devouring web novels; that na was synonymous with world-ending power.
Activating it would swell his body to millions of kiloters and boost his physical strength 512 tis over. Such an ability was nothing short of godlike.
Moreover, even in his base state, the passive strength multiplier had reached 64 tis—four tis higher than the previous 16-fold boost.
A four-fold increase ant that Lance’s passive physical combat power had effectively jumped by two entire sub-realms!
If he actually activated Heavenly Giant Manifestation now, his combat prowess would far surpass any Divine Soul Realm expert who didn't possess Destruction Power. He was even closing the gap on the threshold of Destruction Power itself.
Finally, his physical body had reached a level where it could actually support the burden of Destruction Power. Previously, because his physical stats were too low, even a several-dozen-fold increase hadn't significantly moved the needle on his ultimate combat effectiveness. But now, everything had changed.
With his physical strength and Destruction Power operating on similar scales, the simultaneous eruption of both would be truly cataclysmic.
"I have to try this out. Not testing this would be a cri!"
Trembling with excitent, Lance snapped his eyes open. He felt the terrifying power pulsing through his veins and grinned with satisfaction. Without hesitation, he subrged his consciousness into the Virtual Universe!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The mont he loaded in, Lance felt his body being hamred by countless terrifying forces.
His flesh was instantly torn into a bloody ss. This was to be expected—the attacks raining down on him were all at the Universal Class.
However, sothing far from normal happened next. Despite the grievous wounds, the damage failed to reach his bones and began to knit back together instantly. It was an impossible feat, considering Lance was currently only at the Stellar Class—three entire major realms below the Universal Class!
He quickly flicked his eyes toward his status logs.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Through physical and Soul cultivation via Berserk Absorption for 80 minutes, your CON has increased by 160 trillion and your Soul value has increased by 160 trillion! Your Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Realm, 6th Heaven!!]

Ultimate Combat Power: Universal Realm, 9th Heaven
Lance’s peak physical combat power had reached the terrifying level of the 6th Heaven of the Universal Class.
As for his ultimate combat power, it had hit the 9th Heaven of the Universal Realm. This "Ultimate" value accounted for the combined output of his Destruction Power used in tandem with the Heavenly Giant Manifestation burst.
Lance slowly closed his eyes, centering himself.
"Heavenly Giant Manifestation!!!"
A split second later, Lance’s eyes snapped open. A thunderous roar erupted from his throat as his body began to swell at an impossible rate.
The aura radiating from him skyrocketed, piercing through the heavens.
RUMBLE!!!
In an instant, the ground beneath the entire martial arena began to shatter and fall away!
The surrounding Universal Realm Level 3 experts were paralyzed with fear by the sudden, crushing pressure. They aborted their attacks and turned in unison toward Lance’s position.
"What's happening?"
"That body... is he so genius from the Titan God-Race?!"
"Impossible! No mber of the Titan God-Race has a True Form this massive—unless it's the Supre Titan himself!"
"Dammit, our attacks aren't even scratching him!"
As the Heavenly Giant Manifestation fully erupted, the faces of the surrounding cultivators turned deathly pale with horror. They watched in disbelief as the shockwaves of their own combined attacks hit Lance, only to dissipate against his skin without leaving a single mark.
Lance turned his gaze toward them. His eyes were now so vast they seed larger than a trillion suns.
He reached out his right hand, gripping the empty air.
In an instant, a massive black axe coalesced in his palm.
"SHATTER!!!"
Lance bellowed, swinging the giant axe toward the void in a savage arc!
Wherever the blade passed, the Universal Class experts were erased from existence, reduced to nothingness. The sheer vibration from the strike annihilated every Universal Class entity within a one-light-year radius.
SCREECH!!!
As the axe completed its swing, it tore a massive, jagged hole directly into the fabric of the combat arena's space!
WHOOSH—!
Vast torrents of Void Turbulence surged out of the rift like a dam breaking. The chaotic energy washed over the battlefield, instantly erasing the experts who had only just begun to respawn.
The spatial rift began to stitch itself back together rapidly, but the residual Void Turbulence continued to whip through the area, wreaking havoc in every direction.
Everywhere he moved, Universal Class experts were erased. Having only just respawned, they were snuffed out again the mont they ca into contact with him.
Previously, they at least had a fraction of a second to react. Now? They were gone instantly.
Because this space was rely a simulation, the Void Turbulence wasn't powerful enough to wipe out a World Lord, but it could still easily shred an ordinary Domain Lord. His current speed, however, was indistinguishable from the real thing.
These unfortunate Universal Class experts didn't stand a ghost of a chance. They were obliterated before their brains could even register the threat.
Splut. Splut. Splut. Splut!
Lance was the sole exception. Due to his colossal size, the impacts didn't kill him instantly; instead, they punched massive, jagged holes through his flesh. At any given mont, hundreds of millions of streaks of Void Turbulence hamred into him, yet they failed to finish him off.
With his Undying God-Body active, Lance began to knit his flesh back together at an absurd rate.
His recovery speed was now two to three tis faster than the cultivation speed he gained from Berserk Absorption. It had finally reached the threshold he had envisioned.
"At my previous pace, reaching the Galactic Realm would have taken 2,560 minutes—over forty hours. Basically two full days," Lance noted, a slight smile playing on his lips as he monitored the progress. "At this rate, fifteen or sixteen hours will be more than enough."
[System Notification: Body and Soul restoration sustained for 50 minutes. CON 320 Trillion, Soul 320 Trillion! Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Realm, 7th Heaven!!]
As expected, in less than an hour, his cultivation had jumped to the 7th Heaven. Previously, that single step would have taken nearly three hours.
[System Notification: A new day has begun. Your Reconstruction Quotas have been refreshed!]
The chi rang out in his mind, and Lance’s eyes brightened. His daily uses had finally reset—eight fresh opportunities for reconstruction.
"I have four martial arts techniques that need upgrading. Add in my weapon, the combat suit, and The Celestial Canon, and that’s exactly seven quotas," he calculated. "The rest will have to be for breaking limits."
He paused, his thoughts racing. "The Celestial Treasure Canon still needs at least another day of work. It might be better to use these eight quotas to upgrade The Primordial Sovereign Physique instead. Once my physique reaches a higher tier, my talent will skyrocket. Reaching the Perfect Boundary in any technique will take minutes, not hours."
His gaze flickered as he weighed his options. Grade 12 Peak-tier techniques were fundantally superior to upgraded Grade 11 ones. As for where to get them? He would challenge the Powerhouse Ranking, claim the God-King Coins as a reward, and simply buy them. Based on current market rates, a single Grade 12 Peak-tier manual cost only two or three God-King Coins.
He had twenty coins in total. Buying four techniques was a trivial matter. It would also save him the headache of constant upgrades later on. Besides, with the vast resources of the Virtual Universe treasury, finding techniques with Immortal Class potential was easy.
"However, The Primordial Sovereign Physique is a Cosmic Grade talent—essentially Grade 13. It requires nine full Reconstruction Quotas to rge. It looks like I should focus on my cultivation realm first."
He began mapping out his next moves. "Sky Demon's Blood Escape can be replaced too. Even after breaking its limits, it’s only a Grade 10 technique. There's no point wasting a quota on it."
He checked the arena tir. "Two hours left in this round. Let’s wrap this up."
Lance closed his eyes, surrendering himself to the rhythmic destruction and rebirth of the turbulence.
[System Notification: Body and Soul restoration sustained for 100 minutes. CON 640 Trillion, Soul 640 Trillion! Physical Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm have both reached: Stellar Realm, 8th Heaven!!]
An hour and a half later, he broke through again.
Despite his progress, the Void Turbulence outside still tore through his defenses like wet paper. The gulf between the Stellar Class and the Domain Lord Realm was staggering. Even with a litany of "cheat-like" abilities, Lance couldn't yet tank damage of this magnitude.
[Alert! The Infinite Resurrection Arena has concluded. Calculating kill counts...]
[Final Count: You have slain 41,541 Trillion enemies! You are ranked #1 on the leaderboard for this session!]
[Reward: You have received half of the total buy-in from 1.3 billion players. Total: 650 Million Cosmic Coins!]
Lance blinked, genuinely stunned by the notification. "How am I first? I only personally killed a few billion..."
As he was teleported out of the arena, he stared at the 650 million Cosmic Coins that had materialized in his account, feeling utterly bewildered.
Of course, to soone of his current standing, 650 million Cosmic Coins was a pittance. A single Domain Lord Credit was worth 10 billion Cosmic Coins. It took 10 billion Domain Lord Credits to equal one World Lord Credit. And while 100 million World Lord Credits could be exchanged for one God-King Coin, the sheer scale of the gap made this reward feel like a billionaire finding a penny on the street after a grueling day of manual labor. It was almost insulting.
He didn't rush into the next match. Instead, he navigated directly to the Star Sea Realm Powerhouse Ranking.
Scanning the nas, he fell into a contemplative silence. "My current strength might not be enough to take down the rank one spot in the Star Sea Realm. That’s... annoying."
He rubbed his chin. In the Star Sea Realm, the difficulty of fighting above one's level was a hundred tis harder than it had been in the Grandmaster Realm. The top ten fighters here were all monsters capable of jumping an entire major realm in combat power. To secure the top spot, one practically needed the combat effectiveness of a 1st Heaven Domain Lord.
Lance checked his own limits. He was roughly at the level of a 10th Heaven Stellar Class. The reason his combat power hadn't kept pace with his two recent breakthroughs was simple: Domain Power.
Once a fighter reached the Domain Lord Realm, they gained access to Domains. Without a Domain of his own, Lance could be ten tis stronger and he would still be suppressed or instantly killed by the sheer spatial authority of a Domain Lord.
Currently, Lance hadn't even touched the Power of Laws, let alone the Domains ford from them. It wasn't that he couldn't learn them; he was intentionally waiting for The Primordial Sovereign Physique to upgrade. Learning them then would be a matter of efficiency—one minute of ditation with a Cosmic Grade physique would be worth hours of struggle now.
Why waste ti now when he could spend it cultivating?
"Whatever. I just made back what I spent earlier. I still have ten God-King Coins left; that’s plenty to pick out five Grade 12 Peak-tier martial arts and cultivation manuals."
Knowing his current limits, he decided against a reckless challenge and opened the Virtual Universe Mall interface.
"Virtual Universe," he commanded. "Filter for spear techniques, movent techniques, and defensive martial arts with high growth potential, priced around 2 God-King Coins each. Also, find a set of martial arts specifically compatible with Destruction Power."
