"Universal Cauldron Physique!"
"Absorb it!"
Chu Kuangren once again activated the Universal Cauldron Physique!
This physique allowed one to quickly absorb any kind of energy between heaven and earth, and of course, that included the celestial energy!
With the help of the Universal Cauldron Physique, Chu Kuangren's speed of absorbing the celestial energy greatly increased, and the seventh asteroid gradually collapsed.
Looking from the sky above the planet, the asteroid was constantly trembling at this moment. Its surface was exploding, and huge cracks crisscrossed the ground, with countless amounts of magma gushing out of them.
Meanwhile, the various energy substances contained within the planet were gushing towards the interior of the planet. Logically speaking, such a huge surge of energy should have caused the planet to explode.
However, the seventh asteroid did not. Instead, it was collapsing inwardly.
After that huge surge of energy substances entered the interior of the planet, it disappeared completely as if it was devoured by a horrifying beast. And that horrifying beast was, of course, Chu Kuangren.
As the seventh asteroid was gradually refined by Chu Kuangren, the entire asteroid belt was plunged into an unprecedented tremor. The various super-small asteroids and asteroids that were floating in the cosmic void collided one after another.
Some of the asteroids that were closest to the seventh asteroid were also affected by that horrifying suction force and were gradually sucked in as well.
Another month had passed.
Only some cosmic dust was left where the seventh asteroid used to be. In the void, a white-robed figure was sitting cross-legged with an incredibly dense celestial radiance circulating around his body.
From afar, he looked like a bright star.
All of a sudden.
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes and the celestial radiance on his body retracted.
He slowly got up, and the surrounding void began to tremble violently as if it was withstanding an extremely horrifying force from his movements.
At that moment, a gigantic meteorite that was thousands of kilometers in size was hurtling towards Chu Kuangren from afar.
Chu Kuangren stood in the air without dodging. He gently raised his hand, clenched his fair and slender fingers into a fist, and punched towards the meteorite.
There was a loud explosion!
The entire meteorite shattered into countless fragments!
Chu Kuangren stood still on the spot. Some of the shattered meteorite fragments hit his body, but they did not cause him any harm at all.
"This physical body is already this terrifying even though it's not even at the initial stage. How terrifying will its power be once it reaches the full stage, or even the peak stage?!" Chu Kuangren murmured.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
At that time, he wouldn't even need to use any techniques. He would only need to throw a light punch to easily shatter the star.
Even an Empyrean or Dao Lord could be annihilated with a single punch!
Even slaying immortals was not impossible!
"There should be some asteroids nearby that I can absorb. I'll go back after I raise the Star Immortal Body to the small success stage!"
Chu Kuangren murmured.
His Monarch Will surged out like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, the information of all the celestial bodies within a radius of tens of millions of miles appeared in his mind.
He locked onto an asteroid with no signs of life and flew towards it.
Another month had passed.
Within that one month, Chu Kuangren had absorbed a few more asteroids. Although the amount of energy provided by them was not as massive as the seventh asteroid, it was still enough for his Immortal Stellar Physique to reach the Initial Mastery Realm.
"Minor Completion, Greater Completion, Peak, Perfection, these are the four stages of the Immortal Astral Body. If I want to advance from Minor Completion to Greater Completion, the amount of Astral Energy required is more than ten times that of Minor Completion!"
"If I want to reach Peak, the amount of Astral Energy required is even more unimaginable. As for Perfection … Tsk tsk, I wonder if I can achieve Perfection after absorbing an entire star?"
Chu Kuangren looked into the distance at the gigantic crimson glowing sphere. That was the star, also known as the sun.
Cultivators were extremely fearful of the sun.
This was because some high-level cultivators knew that the star, which was also known as the sun, was the source of all energy. The reason they were able to cultivate was all because of the sun's light and heat, as well as the constant release of energy.
In other words, without the sun, Firmament Star would not have given birth to life, much less a cultivator civilization.
However, the sun, which was revered by countless cultivators, was now being targeted by Chu Kuangren as if it was food!
"Tsk, forget it. This sun is the energy source of this galaxy. If I absorb this sun, who knows if there will be other cultivator civilizations in this galaxy."
"However, I'm afraid the living beings in Firmament Star won't be able to escape this calamity."
Chu Kuangren shook his head and said. He planned to wait until he had grown to a certain level before leaving this galaxy and heading to other galaxies in the universe. Then, he would see if there was a chance for him to absorb a few stars.
Firmament Star and even the entire galaxy's civilization did not know that they had somehow escaped this calamity.
"Alright, it's time to return to Fortress No. 17."
Chu Kuangren murmured as he took out a battleship.
This was left behind by the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable and the others before they left.
Upon entering the battleship, Chu Kuangren opened the battleship's barrier and the Star Map. After confirming the route, Chu Kuangren steered the battleship back to Fortress No. 17.
…
Fortress No. 17.
General's Residence.
"Grandfather, how was it? Have the orders from above been passed down?"
Yan Honghua asked the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable nodded and said, "After the Sky Honorable Assembly's discussion and the Daoist Master's instructions, the resources obtained from the Secret Realm will be distributed equally to the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Fortresses."
"Among them, the Seventeenth Fortress will take the majority."
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable laughed out loud. He was in a great mood.
That was true.
This time, even he, the Fortress Master, had personally gone into battle. Although Chu Kuangren was a lone soldier, he had lived in the General's Residence for so long, so he could be considered part of the Seventeenth Fortress. Hence, he had contributed greatly in this battle.
Of course, they would take the majority of the resources.
"What about Brother Chu's battle merits?"
Yan Honghua asked again.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable glanced at Yan Honghua and revealed a meaningful smile. "You seem to care a lot about Brother Chu."
Yan Honghua's gaze was a little evasive as she said, "Brother Chu saved all of us, so it's only natural that I care about him."
"Is that all?"
"What else?" Yan Honghua replied.
"Sigh, what a shame."
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable sighed. "I thought you'd finally come around and wanted to have a passionate relationship."
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? That's impossible. I won't think about these things before I get my revenge. Besides, he already has a family." A hint of loneliness flashed across Yan Honghua's eyes as she spoke.
"What? You already have a family?"
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable was a little surprised to hear that. He then said regretfully, "That's a shame. I really do think highly of Brother Chu. Throughout the entire extraterrestrial battlefield, he's the only one who's worthy of you."
"Alright, back to my previous question. What did the higher-ups say about Brother Chu's battle merits?" Yan Honghua continued to ask.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable only raised a finger.
Yan Honghua understood and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That's a lot!"
"Yes, it won't be long before Brother Chu's name appears on the Combat Leaderboard. Besides that, the Sky Honorable Assembly will give him a special reward. When that time comes, someone will come looking for him."
