"Blake, get us back to Mother Planet!!"
The mont he stepped back onto the ship, Lance issued the command directly into the empty air.
Still standing amidst the ruins of The Black Dragon Continent, Blake paused for a mont when he heard Lance's voice echoing in his mind.
"You two, back to the ship! The master is ready to return to Mother Planet!" Blake said, flashing a smile at Sovereign Glacia and Selina.
As soon as the words left his lips, his form dissolved into a stream of data and hurtled toward the ship.
Sovereign Glacia, who was currently using her B-Rank Trait: Frost Lord to ruthlessly tornt the Soul of The Black Dragon Lord, froze for a second alongside Selina.
"Let’s go, Selina. We can keep playing on the way. I refuse to believe this thing won't break eventually!"
Sovereign Glacia didn't seem to mind the sudden departure. She threw a quick word to her disciple, then clenched her hand around the Black Dragon Lord's Soul and flew toward the ship.
"Wait for !!"
Selina scrambled to catch up.
Once everyone was back on board, the Tier 13 vessel instantly tore through the void. It accelerated to a terrifying speed, streaking toward The Milky Way where Mother Planet was located.
Though The Milky Way was technically within the territory of The Black Dragon Star Realm, it was tucked away in a remote corner.
To get back, they had to cross almost the entirety of The Black Dragon Star Realm. Fortunately, this was a Tier 13 ship. A distance of a trillion light-years would only take an hour to traverse.
An hour might not seem like much, but for Lance, it was plenty.
Following his breakthrough, his cultivation speed had skyrocketed by several hundred tis.
An hour was more than enough for his realm to take a massive leap forward.
Inside the ship's cultivation chamber, Lance sat cross-legged in the void, focused entirely on pushing his Violent Absorption technique to its limit.
The upgraded Violent Absorption erupted with a terrifying suction force. Lance could feel the raw power surging through his body at a breakneck pace.
Congratulations! You have cultivated the Violent Absorption Technique for one minute. CON 5 Billion! Soul 3.2 Billion!
Congratulations! You have cultivated the Violent Absorption Technique for one minute. CON 5 Billion! Soul 3.2 Billion!
Congratulations! Your CON Realm has increased to Planetary Class (Rank 2)! Your Soul Realm has increased to Planetary Class (Rank 1)!
In just two minutes, Lance’s realm jumped by an entire sub-stage.
After that, Lance split off a thread of his consciousness to maintain the cultivation process while his main consciousness shifted its focus to his current Status Panel.

Looking at his current Status Panel, Lance felt a bit of a headache. He would need at least a dozen Reconstruction Quotas to repair all his current arts and skills.
He checked the ti. To get a refresh, he’d have to wait over 290 hours. By the current clock, it was only 7:00 AM on Mother Planet.
"Only one repair attempt left. I guess I have to prioritize. The Celestial Canon needs all eight arts at the Perfect Stage to truly show its power."
"It’s still eight Tier 12 arts, though. At my current speed, it'll take a day or two to master them. I can get it done before The Genius Trials start, so there's no need to waste a Reconstruction Quota on it right now."
"That leaves this Dragon Crystal as the most likely candidate to give my strength a massive boost."
Lance quickly made up his mind as he stared at his final repair opportunity.
This was a Tier 12 High-Grade Dragon Crystal. If it was repaired, it would definitely reach Tier 14.
He didn't dare hope for anything higher, as Tier 14 was already incredibly formidable.
More importantly, after this repair, Lance wouldn't have to worry about his depleting flesh and blood energy anymore.
"System, repair the Exploits in this Dragon Crystal!!"
Lance gave the command without a second thought.
Command accepted! Scanning... This Tier 12 High-Grade Umbra Dragon Crystal contains 270 Trillion Exploits! Comncing repair!!
A system prompt chid in his mind, and Lance’s eyes lit up.
Two hundred and seventy trillion exploits? That ant after the repair, this thing would be Immortal Class!
"Another Immortal Class item. Looks like my strength is about to take another leap," Lance thought, a small smile tugging at his lips.
BOOM!!!
In that instant, a blinding golden radiance erupted from the endless void. The light flooded into the Dragon Crystal like a tidal wave. Almost imdiately, Lance saw profound, mysterious runes beginning to manifest on the crystal's surface at an incredible speed.
These runes quickly spread across the entire crystal.
Just a single glance at one of these runes made Lance's head spin and his vision blur. Clearly, the grade of this Dragon Crystal was far too high. As a re "weakling" in comparison, Lance couldn't even begin to comprehend the power these runes held.
What Lance didn't realize was that if it weren't for the system's protective power shielding him, just standing near a Dragon Crystal of this caliber would have seen him reduced to nothingness by the raw energy it emitted.
This was the sheer terror of high-level items.
As the runes gradually blanketed the entire Dragon Crystal, the violent aura radiating from it slowly began to stabilize.
"Ding... Congratulations! Reconstruction complete. Your Tier 12 High-Grade Dragon Crystal has repaired all Exploits and evolved into: The Void Dragon Crystal (Tier 15, Immortal Class!)"
As the blinding light dissipated, the system notification echoed in Lance's mind. Without a mont's hesitation, he pulled up the description for The Void Dragon Crystal.
The Void Dragon Crystal (Exploit-Free Version): Upon consumption, grants a 100% chance to awaken the Tier 15 Dragon Talent: The Void Dragon Physique! Additionally provides a massive reserve of CON and Soul values.
The Void Dragon Physique: The Dragons are a race of myriad talents, and The Void Dragons possess one of the most powerful bloodlines in their history. The absolute peak of The Void Dragons will awaken The Void Dragon Physique.
Void Power: Owners of this physique will imdiately awaken the Tier 14 ability: Void Power! This is one of the constituent elents of Space Power, one of The Ten Supre Elents.
Collecting all ten spatial elents allows for fusion into Space Power!
Dragon Body Effects: Inherits the physical traits of all high-level dragons, significantly increasing physical strength and all magic resistances. The magnitude of the boost is determined by the user's realm.
Current Realm Boost: Increases physical strength by 256 tis!
Lance’s eyes lit up as he scanned the details of the Void Dragon Physique.
Void Power was a Tier 14 top-tier talent. In terms of raw grading, it was a full major realm higher than his Holy Light!
Moreover, it was a component of Space Power. The system had ntioned before that each of The Ten Supre Elents was a Tier 15 ability or higher. Space Power, in particular, was said to far surpass all other elents except for Ti Power. By that logic, Space Power was almost certainly a Tier 16 or even Tier 17 ability!
While it might not be as heaven-defying as Ti Power, Lance knew just how terrifying a Tier 16 ability was. With such a power, he could effortlessly slaughter a few of The Supre Divinities in the future, even if he hadn't reached their realm yet!
"Ten spatial elents, huh? With the system in hand, I refuse to believe I can't get them all. With a dozen chances a day, I'll just gather a pile of Tier 14 or 15 Void Cores and keep using Reconstruction! I'll get it eventually."
Lance rubbed his chin, his mind made up. He was going to obtain that Space Power no matter what. And if the opportunity arose, he’d snatch up Ti Power too. Then, he would be truly invincible.
"The grade isn't as high as Destruction Power, but Void Power is the ultimate tool for staying alive. My survival depends on this."
With a faint smirk, Lance didn't hesitate. He tossed The Void Dragon Crystal into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
BOOM!!!
The mont the crystal went down, a terrifying flood of Battle Aura and Soul power surged into his limbs and bones like a breaking dam. Lance felt an endless tide of power erupting within him.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
His bones popped and groaned as every inch of his skin and every single cell underwent a violent, forced strengthening. He felt his cells being rapidly compressed by a berserk force, only to split and multiply, then compress again. Through this cycle of destruction and rebirth, his strength skyrocketed.
Eventually, after dozens of these cycles, his physical power reached a monstrous level. The sound of his blood rushing through his veins thundered like a waterfall, a sound so heavy it could shake the soul of anyone listening.
But his body wasn't the only thing changing. Inside his Consciousness Hub, a massive, transparent sphere of energy was coalescing at high speed. This orb of power quickly grew larger than his Holy Light, though it ultimately failed to match the staggering size of his Destruction Power orb.
"Ding! Congratulations! The Void Dragon Physique has been successfully loaded. You have awakened the Tier 14 ability: Void Power!"
As the notification rang out, Lance slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his body, feeling the raw, destructive power coiled within his muscles.
"So this is the constitution of the Dragon Race? If I stack Heavenly Demon Blood Escape and The Berserk God physique on top of this, how much stronger will I get?"
He was curious. And there was only one way to find out.
"Heavenly Demon Blood Escape!!"
He let out a low growl into the empty air.
ROAR!!!
In an instant, an apocalyptic force erupted from his body. The pure Battle Aura generated by this berserk energy manifested behind him, coalescing into the phantom of a Dragon God.
A lifelike divine dragon, stretching over a million ters long, began to coil slowly around Lance. The sheer pressure it radiated was enough to instantly crush even the top experts of the Galactic Realm.
[DRAGON ROAR]
A world-shaking dragon roar erupted from the void. Fortunately, the training chamber on this ship was Tier 13; without the strength of a God-King, it was impossible to break. Otherwise, even a black hole would have been reduced to cinders by that roar alone.
At this mont, Lance had activated both Heavenly Demon Blood Escape and The Berserk God physique. However, due to the overwhelming dominance of The Void Dragon Physique, the original avatar of The Berserk God had been completely overwritten and transford into the phantom of the Dragon God.
"This power... it's too much. It feels like it’s bypassed the 256-tis boost."
Lance gauged his current strength and realized sothing was different. It felt like at least a 400-fold increase.
"It must be because my base physical strength has increased so much. Since my foundation is stronger, the multipliers for techniques like Heavenly Demon Blood Escape have scaled up accordingly!"
He rembered now: neither Heavenly Demon Blood Escape nor The Berserk God physique increased his strength fundantally. Instead, they acted as massive "overdraft" multipliers on his total combat power. Therefore, the effectiveness of these buffs was theoretically capped by the durability and strength of his physical body.
The stronger the vessel, the more power the buffs could pour in!
