Rumble! Rumble!
At the center of the Taixu Arena, the platform shook violently.
Lin Yuan’s dark, three-zhang-tall demonic body radiated a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe.
The surrounding space was no longer merely collapsing.
Instead, it twisted in an eerie and unnatural way.
Gravity!
An incomparably vast gravitational field descended with a thunderous crash, centered on Lin Yuan.
Crack! Crack!
The arena floor, forged from starfall meteorite iron and capable of withstanding the full-force attack of a stellar-level powerhouse, began to fracture over a wide area under the gravitational force.
Countless fragments of meteorite iron had barely lifted from the ground before the terrifying gravity crushed them into iron pancakes thinner than paper!
“It’s here!”
In the Lin family’s private viewing area in the Ziwei Star System, the Lin Family Patriarch abruptly slapped the armrest of his chair and shot to his feet.
His wrinkled old face was alight with fervor.
“This is the signature supreme divine ability of my Lin family!”
“Star Abyss Gravity!”
He pointed at the demonic figure on the arena platform, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
“Combined with the Star-Devouring Demon Body, this is Lin Yuan’s true complete form!”
The Lin family elders around him also drew sharp breaths, their eyes filled with awe and pride.
“This divine ability grants absolute control over the gravitational field within a hundred zhang of the user!”
“Not only can it suppress an enemy’s movements to the extreme, but even more terrifyingly, it can forcibly amplify the warrior’s own strength by nine hundred times!”
A nine-hundred-fold increase in strength!
That figure made the patriarchs of several ancient families nearby feel their scalps prickle.
“That’s not all!”
The Lin Family Patriarch proudly swept his gaze across the surroundings, his voice booming.
“Under the compression of the gravitational field, the physical strength of the demonic body will also increase dozens of times!”
“Strength amplified nine hundredfold! Physical strength multiplied dozens of times!”
“The power of this supreme divine ability is already comparable to that of certain legendary immortal divine abilities!”
The Lin Family Patriarch drew a deep breath before revealing a battle record that shook the entire starry sky.
“Twenty thousand years ago!”
“Our Lin Family Seventh Ancestor once relied on this supreme divine ability to bludgeon a stellar-level peak powerhouse to death despite possessing only thirty thousand drops of source blood, while his opponent had six hundred thousand!”
“He crossed a gap of six hundred and seventy thousand drops of source blood and killed his opponent head-on!”
“That is the true significance of Star Abyss Gravity!”
Boom!
The moment those words were spoken, the entire high-level viewing area erupted in an uproar.
Killing a stellar-level peak powerhouse while fighting above one’s level?!
Such a record was simply horrifying.
When everyone looked toward the arena again, their eyes were filled with deep apprehension.
“Su Yu is in trouble.”
“Indeed. His Dao-Touching Spear Intent may be powerful, but Su Yu only has a thousand drops of source blood.”
“Lin Yuan’s physical body and strength have now reached an utterly astonishing level.”
“In close-quarters combat, Su Yu absolutely cannot withstand such a monster!”
In the Seventh Legion’s preparation area, Lu Xinghe abruptly rose to his feet, unconsciously gripping the meteorite-iron railing before him.
A thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on his palms.
“What terrifying pressure!”
Lu Xinghe stared fixedly at the various readings on the holographic display, his voice trembling slightly from nervousness.
“A foundation of thirty thousand drops of flawless source blood!”
“A twelve-hundred-fold amplification from a black-hole-level cultivation technique!”
“On top of that, there’s the nine-hundred-fold increase in strength and the dozens-of-times enhancement to his physical body granted by this supreme divine ability!”
Lu Xinghe’s mind raced. The conclusion he reached made his scalp go numb.
“This is equivalent to forcibly compressing the mass of a black hole into a single physical body!”
“Lin Yuan’s pure physical destructive power has absolutely touched the threshold of black-hole-level powerhouses!”
“Even some black-hole-level paragons would have a hard time walking away unscathed after taking a punch from him!”
Lu Xinghe turned toward Chen Xuan, who was seated beside him, his voice filled with unconcealed worry.
“Commander!”
“Su Yu is in trouble!”
“Although he has comprehended the Dao-Touching Spear Intent, which is comparable to an immortal divine ability, he is ultimately limited by a foundation of only a thousand drops of source blood. His physical burst power has a ceiling.”
“How could his frail body possibly withstand close-quarters combat against such power, which is comparable to that of a black-hole-level powerhouse?!”
Listening to Lu Xinghe’s rapid analysis, Chen Xuan showed no sign of panic.
The domain-lord-level commander-in-chief remained as calm as still water.
“Xinghe, concern has clouded your judgment.”
Chen Xuan lifted his teacup and took a light sip, his tone rational and composed.
“You’ve only considered Lin Yuan’s physical burst power.”
“But you’ve forgotten what Su Yu’s true trump card is.”
Lu Xinghe froze.
“His trump card?”
Chen Xuan set down his teacup and turned his gaze toward the slender black figure on the arena platform.
“Mental power!”
“Don’t forget, I just gave him the mental-type supreme divine ability, Soul-Annihilating Stellar Radiance!”
“With that monstrous comprehension of his—the kind that allowed him to comprehend a black-hole-level cultivation technique at a glance—he must have already grasped the basics during this short interval!”
“Even if he has only comprehended a tiny fraction of it, he would still possess dozens of times his usual mental-power amplification!”
“Combined with his terrifying mental sea, which is already hundreds of times stronger than that of anyone at the same level…”
Chen Xuan analyzed calmly.
“No matter how powerful Lin Yuan’s demonic body becomes, no matter how monstrous his physical strength is, he is ultimately just a target.”
“His mental power absolutely cannot withstand Su Yu’s full-force attack.”
“As long as Su Yu maintains his distance and denies him any chance to close in, then uses Soul-Annihilating Stellar Radiance directly…”
“He can shatter Lin Yuan’s consciousness in an instant!”
“Su Yu will still win this match without question!”
Hearing Chen Xuan’s rational analysis, the tension in Lu Xinghe’s nerves finally eased somewhat. But then he frowned again.
“That’s right—there’s still Soul-Annihilating Stellar Radiance!”
“But Commander… how much time has actually passed since you gave him the divine ability?”
“Even with his heaven-defying comprehension, can he really learn a supreme divine ability in such a short time?”
At those words, Chen Xuan’s hand paused slightly around the teacup. He fell silent for a moment.
“Hard to say.”
Chen Xuan stared at the youth on the holographic display and drew a deep breath.
“It would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person. But when it comes to him…I feel that he should at least have grasped the basics.”
Lu Xinghe swallowed hard and nodded emphatically, as if trying to encourage himself.
“As long as he can grasp the basics and avoid close combat, Su Yu will be invincible!”
However—
At the highest point of the Taixu Arena, in the imperial family’s exclusive supreme viewing box, Emperor of Great Chu, Chu Tianjiao, sat upon a meteorite-iron throne that towered into the clouds.
At this moment, this domain-lord-level peak existence, who possessed nine billion drops of source blood, wore an extremely peculiar expression.
His deep eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through all things in the universe, moved back and forth between Lin Yuan’s swelling Star-Devouring Demon Body and Su Yu’s seemingly ordinary physical form.
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.
He even felt a faint urge to laugh.
“That Lin family boy…”
Chu Tianjiao sighed inwardly.
As someone who had thoroughly investigated the depths of Su Yu’s physical body with his mental power, Chu Tianjiao knew better than anyone what kind of terrifying mass was sealed within that slender frame.
“If Lin Yuan relies on the black-hole devouring law to keep his distance and engage in a war of attrition, he might be able to last a few more rounds.”
“After all, the devouring law naturally counters the external release of energy.”
Chu Tianjiao looked down at Lin Yuan, whose presence blazed across the arena, and watched as he abandoned his absolute advantage in the laws.
He was forcibly confining his power to his physical body, actually hoping to engage in close combat…
To trade blows.
To fight hand to hand.
It was no different from trying to ram a highly compressed singularity star with a body of flesh and blood.
His defeat was already certain.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger.

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
