While the power of the Death Star was formidable, it wasn't strong enough to forcibly absorb energy from other spatial fragments across light-years.
"I see!"
Lu Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief. If the power of devouring in the world ring couldn't be resisted, then there would be no way anyone would come to this place to cultivate.
“Your Highness, the entire Death Star Ring is extremely vast. Even with a spaceship traveling at near-light speed, it would take several months to reach the ring. During this time, you can try to acclimatize to the Death Star’s environment!” the white-robed man said respectfully.
"it is good!"
Lu Yunhe nodded and went to the training room on the spaceship to wait quietly.
"Although the Death Star is consuming the energy within its body, it doesn't seem to prohibit absorbing energy from the outside!"
At this moment, Lu Yunhe's body seemed to have two water pipes installed, one for "inlet" and one for "outlet," with the outflow volume far exceeding the inflow volume.
"I haven't felt this way in so long!"
While resisting the devouring power of the Death Star, Lu Yunhe tried his best to absorb energy from the universe. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when the early cultivation environment was extremely difficult, and he could only rely on himself to absorb the original energy of the universe little by little from the outside world.
Chapter 158 Gravity Chamber
Five months later!
"Your Highness, we have arrived!"
The white-robed realm master woke up Lu Yunhe, who was immersed in cultivation. A look of admiration flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected him to be able to cultivate so diligently in such an environment. He truly deserved to be a member of the Primal Secret Realm.
"arrive!"
Lu Yunhe put down the energy fruit in his hand. With his cosmic-level strength, he was completely unable to withstand the Death Star's devouring power. He had to continuously replenish his cosmic energy, otherwise he would be completely drained.
After seeing Lu Yunhe emerge, the white-robed realm master also activated the spaceship's exterior simulation, revealing a bright blue star ring encircling a star core, standing prominently in the starry sky.
Meanwhile, long corridors extend from the star rings, connecting to the star core, and then slowly roll under the influence of unknown gravity.
"This star ring was specially built for Your Highnesses by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and it is mainly based on an intelligent system..." the white-robed world lord introduced.
"Star Ring Corridor!"
Lu Yunhe examined the star ring before him. Judging from the Death Star Mission III and the environment, this star ring was indeed designed for them, as members of the cosmic level.
After all, the environment of the entire Death Star is not suitable for cultivation, and these universe-level members are mainly here to hone their skills and complete missions.
"Building a star fortress specifically for a member of the cosmic level, how extravagant!"
Lu Yunhe clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he was now somewhat wealthy, he couldn't afford this star ring with all his savings... No, he could actually afford it.
Thinking of the treasure that Jaden's clone possessed, Lu Yunhe, who had been somewhat shocked, instantly became calm. It was just a mere star ring, nothing more than small change.
The white-robed realm lord noticed the change in the divine weapon prince's emotions and was somewhat curious, but dared not ask too many questions. Soon the spaceship stopped at the port of the star ring.
"Your Highness, I'll stop here. Someone will be there to assist you from now on!" The white-robed realm lord bowed respectfully, then led his subordinates in another direction, completing a brief handover of duties along the way.
Dudu!
Just as the white-robed world lord left, a cylindrical robot glided over, its two eyes on top glowing green: "Your Highness, I am robot 0115, please follow me."
"A robot!" Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised to see that the person who greeted him was a robot, since the people he had encountered before were mostly human.
"Due to the unique environment of the Death Star, we are responsible for 90% of the maintenance of the entire ring system," the 0115 robot said in a synthesized electronic voice. "We are usually in a dormant state to minimize energy consumption."
"Although the human race is wealthy and powerful, it's clear that those who guard the Death Star still need to increase revenue and cut costs," Lu Yunhe thought to himself.
As the robot 0115 led the way, it explained the Star Ring: "Your Highness, you can think of the entire Star Ring as a large gravity chamber. One of your training tasks is to pass through that gravity corridor and reach the Star Core!"
Gravity chamber!
Lu Yunhe was somewhat dazed. He had never experienced such a classic cultivation method before. At the beginning of the Earth's cataclysmic period, the gravity chamber, a divine artifact, was not discovered. By the time his strength reached the stellar level, the gravity chamber on Earth was meaningless to him.
"And your second task, the Energy Devouring Beasts, mainly live in the middle layers of the Death Star, and finding them will take a very long time..."
As the robot spoke, it led Lu Yunhe to a training room.
boom!
"this!"
When Lu Yunhe went inside, he suddenly discovered that the power that had been continuously absorbing the primordial energy of the universe within him had stopped, or rather, been isolated.
"Your Highness, this is your residence in the Star Ring. The entire room is made of special materials that can protect you from the Death Star's devouring power," the 0115 robot explained.
"I didn't expect there to be a safe house in a desperate mission!" Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised. Shouldn't a desperate mission be about fending for oneself?
“This safe house only exists in the ring of stars; it’s the only completely safe place on the entire Death Star,” said Robot 0115, its eyes flashing. Clearly, robots that require energy are also affected by the power of the Death Star.
"I see!"
Lu Yunhe nodded slightly. Anyone with a modicum of ambition would never actually stay in a safe house for ten years. And given the vastness of the Death Star, even a single trip outside would take a considerable amount of time.
In this way, the Star Ring is more like an outpost for recuperation, a place where they can catch their breath, since a desperate mission is not necessarily a death mission.
"0115, take me to the Star Ring Corridor!" Lu Yunhe had no intention of lingering in the safe house. Hundreds of years of cultivation had made cultivation a habit for him.
After all, apart from strength, everything else one wants to pursue or obtain can be easily satisfied in the virtual universe.
"The Virtual Universe Company probably set it up this way on purpose to stimulate people's desire for power."
Lu Yunhe thought to himself that, apart from the killing field, in many important places in the virtual universe network, the strength of those who enter will be suppressed to the apprentice level.
"There's a new guy coming!"
"It's rare to see someone choose a Death Star mission. I wonder how many days he'll be able to stay in the Gravity Corridor on his first try?"
"I'll bet a day..."
As Lu Yunhe headed towards the gravity corridor, some people lingering in the rest area curiously observed the newcomer before them. Although Death Star was located within the Glory Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it was a core member facing the five major human powers.
Besides members of the Virtual Universe Company, there are also core members of forces such as the Giant Axe Arena and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Only at the cosmic level can they freely venture into secret realms outside their own faction.
“…It’s him!”
Members of the Virtual Universe Company recognized Lu Yunhe and were instantly astonished.
"I didn't expect this person to have come to the Death Star too!"
As Lu Yunhe's information spread, those who had just made the bet instantly fell silent. Ignorance is bliss; the more they knew, the more they understood the gap between them, and they couldn't even muster the thought of mocking him.
"Corridor 0115!"
Lu Yunhe ignored the surrounding discussion and followed the robot to corridor 0115.
"Your Highness, I will not go in."
Robot 0115's eyes flashed, then the light went out, and it shrank back to its chassis, transforming into a cylinder that stood at the entrance.
Gravity chamber!
Lu Yunhe opened the metal door and walked straight in. What greeted his eyes was a vast white space, and at the end of the passage there seemed to be a black halo.
However, Lu Yunhe had no intention of checking his surroundings at this moment. His consciousness, which had reached the limit of the Domain Lord level, was frantically trying to stabilize his mind and body.
Above the passage, a line of text flashed: First Step (One Hundred Million Times Standard Gravity).
Chapter 159 Advances in Amplification Techniques
"One hundred million times the force of gravity!"
Lu Yunhe felt the strain on his body, but the gravity was still within his tolerance range. After all, someone with cosmic-level strength could fight on a white dwarf, and his physical attributes matched his strength.
Moreover, with Lu Yunhe's five times the basic gene level and various body enhancement resources, a hundred million times the gravity is nothing.
However, as Lu Yunhe felt his stamina rapidly depleting and his energy being absorbed, he instantly understood where the difficulty lay.
They enter the gravity chamber not simply to withstand gravity, but to cultivate in a gravity-enhanced environment. As is well known, cultivation requires the consumption of a large amount of energy.
Adding the power of the Death Star, which is constantly absorbing energy, is like adding another tap to the original one, causing the difficulty to skyrocket due to the double drain.
"Most importantly, this is only the first stage!"
Lu Yunhe looked at the long corridor ahead, wondering how many times the gravity would be at the end of the corridor, but it was definitely hundreds of millions of times the gravity.
"It's a pity that the path of body refinement didn't exist in the original universe, otherwise this gravity corridor would have been even more useful." Lu Yunhe felt a little regretful.
"and many more……"
When it comes to body refinement, Lu Yunhe suddenly thought of the Divine Body Enhancement Secret Technique. Although it is not a body refinement secret technique, it seems to have a similar effect.
"The original true form!"
Lu Yunhe activated the first level of the "Original True Body," doubling the amplification of his divine body. Instantly, the gravity on his body, which was a hundred million times stronger, and the devouring power of the environment were reduced by one level.
With five times the base genes and two times the divine body amplification, Lu Yunhe, except for his mental strength, is equivalent to a first-tier Domain Lord in every aspect, including strength, defense, speed, etc.
Lu Yunhe then maintained his doubled divine body amplification and began cultivating in an environment with a gravity of one hundred million times.
The harsh environment allowed Lu Yunhe to gain a deeper understanding of the Divine Body Technique. The millions of points resources absorbed by his body were also drawn out by the gravity, accelerating the transformation of his body.
The reason why cultivating the "Original True Body" requires a lot of resources is because during the cultivation process, the amplification technique also modifies the body structure in a way that is different from the genetic level.
"Let's take this opportunity to hone the secret technique for enhancing the divine body!"
Lu Yunhe circulated the secret techniques within "The Original True Body" as he moved forward.
Due to the unique nature of the gravity corridor, the gravity increases with each step forward, while the body's energy expenditure increases exponentially. In this environment, without proper preparation, one can truly die from exhaustion.
"One hundred and ten million times!"
Lu Yunhe, who had walked a short distance, was surprised to see the gravity counter on the wall next to him. The gravity had increased by ten million in such a short distance, making it very difficult to pass the level.
"These 100,000 points won't be easy to get!"
However, if the cultivation mission is only for points, then it would be a waste of the opportunity given to them by the human race's higher-ups.
Humanity's cultivation of geniuses is top-notch among all races. At the cosmic level, they increase the foundation of their race; at the domain lord level, they release their talents; at the world lord level and immortal level, they undergo life-and-death trials; and only at the cosmic venerable level do they begin to give back to the race.
Three days later!
A region with a multiplier of 450 million!
A shirtless man is making some strange movements, and some scales are faintly visible on his chest.
