Chapter 1216: Chapter 1070: Nuclear Flat Palm (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)

Above the celestial firmament,

Three stellar bodies maintained their bright radiance.

Within the primordial forest,

A Triceratops-like monster, as large as an elephant, charged ruthlessly through the woods.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky.

Boom!

A fist viciously smashed onto the head of the Triceratops, shattering its skull, and the massive body fell to the ground.

"Ah, meat steak for dinner tonight!"

Fang Xi donned in beast-hide clothing, hoisted the mountain-like Triceratops and hurried towards his cave home.

Afterward, he skillfully started a fire, roasted the meat...

The aroma of the meat permeated the air as he casually tossed aside huge bones.

After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Xi sat down cross-legged and quietly began his cultivation.

Though he was determined to follow a path of technological prowess, without sufficient strength, he would have been beaten to death by his numerous siblings long ago.

"The cultivation in this world is quite straightforward, Meteor Level’s most crucial aspect is establishing an energy cycle...then using the Inner Core Skills to form a ’Core Formation’..."

Having access to advanced Gravity Cultivation Method, Fang Xi faced no trouble with this step.

In his cave lay hidden a small factory.

Inside, there were many metal components and spaceship wrecks—the spoils of his struggles through ruins over the years.

"The cultivation aptitude of the Phoenix royal family is quite astonishing..."

"I have only cultivated for a few years, and I’m already hovering on the verge of Core Formation..."

"As for those siblings of mine, each one is not easy to deal with...there will probably be Planet Level experts emerging soon."

Although Satellite Level could briefly leave the planet, it was not sufficient for prolonged survival in space, thus not meeting the condition set by His Majesty the Emperor.

To become a true prince and compete for a title, at least Planet Level strength was necessary!

Or having a naturally unique talent in technology!

Thinking of the technology path, Fang Xi inwardly grumbled, ’Each relic has okay resource reserves, but more crucially, the spaceship parts are very scarce—it might take scanning relics from nearly half the planet to barely assemble a spaceship... Such tight control of resources.’

In reality, being able to scavenge most of the spoils meant that one’s strength was already top-notch on this planet!

’This technological victory route is actually tougher...’

’But no matter how tough, I must still follow it...’

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, embraced the primordial, and adjusted his body’s internal cosmic energy.

In his dantian, multitude of cosmic energies continuously condensed, forming a vortex.

"Unity of man and heaven is the pursuit of classical Inner Core Skills..."

"But in the interstellar age, the pursuit is dominated by the Universe Big Dantian, with stellar bodies as the Golden Core..."

"Firstly, in the cultivator’s body, a highly condensed Golden Core is formed, when breaking through to the Planet Level, the inner core and the external big dantian—i.e., the planet—merge into one..."

"Then continuously increasing mass and density, strengthening gravity, breaking through the Red Giant level, Neutron Star level... eventually transforming into black holes, compelling the universe to bestow space-time concepts, thus proving the way through force!"

"If one can condense the concept a few phases earlier, that would be the mark of a peerless genius!"

The so-called ’concept’ is the power of Law!

However, for Fang Xi, this was an exceedingly simple matter.

’I’m 100% sure that the Lanicanian Empire’s Royal Guard is definitely monitoring this planet; must not appear too monstrous... a typical genius would do.’

He emptied his mind, entering the state of unity of man and heaven, seemingly merging with the vast cosmos.

Then, within the dantian, the intense cosmic energy continued to be compressed towards the center, solidifying into a ’core’!

This core was the highly dense Golden Core!

With an astonishing rotational speed, it enhanced its own gravity, thereby better attracting cosmic energy for cultivation!

It could be said, this was the most crucial step in the cultivation method of this world!

Many extraordinary beings struggled to grasp the knack within their cultivation; an error in one step, the overly dense Golden Core explodes, not only causing their death, but also leading to a radius of a hundred miles turning into ruins—an all-too-common adverse example.

But for Fang Xi, who had not only experienced personal Core Formation but also concocted countless elixirs.

He was considered a master in the Immortal Path system.

Having also reincarnated to research the extraordinary path of this world, if his cultivation of Inner Core Skills still exploded, he would accept it as fate and would be embarrassed to reincarnate in this world again.

"Condense!"

With a gentle shout by Fang Xi, numerous energies within the dantian, almost tangibly, concentrated at the core, using the knack from ’Gravity Cultivation Method’ to solidify into a dark star.

"It’s done...with one success in the Golden Core, the Gravity Cultivation Method will speed up!"

A smile broke across his face, then sensing the changes around him, his expression subtly shifted.

...

Outside this planet.

Inside a completely invisible spaceship.

This spaceship, shaped like a black dragon, was the Lanicanian Empire’s Royal Guard’s exclusive spaceship, equipped with various forbidden weapons, capable of battling even a Red Giant level Immortal.

At that moment, in the main monitoring room.

Screens upon screens continuously flashed images from various locations on the planet, depicting royal princes and princesses bathed in blood, fighting, and cultivating.

"A single planet with billions of people, yet only one prince prevails... This is the Phoenix family’s elimination mechanism."

Caesar, holding a cup of dark red fruit wine, silently gazed at the scene.

On the screens, the blood descendants of the emperors died, yet he remained indifferent.

Caesar had seen similar scenes and events countless times before, enough to numb him.

Even the Royal Guard operators had secretly started betting on which favored prince or princess would ultimately prevail!

"Report! Energy fluctuations from the Inner Core Skills forming a Gold Core Pill detected!"

Just then, a monitoring soldier reported loudly.

"Oh? Another Gold Core formation? This step is crucial, once successful, not only is a solid foundation laid, but the cultivation speed will far surpass others..."

Caesar took a sip of his drink: "Bring up the screen!"

This ’Black Dragon Glory’ was equipped with an extremely powerful scanning system, effectively monitoring the whole planet.

Detecting the fluctuations from Fang Xi’s Core Formation was just a trivial function.

On the screen, a youth wearing animal-skin and golden horns sat cross-legged outside a cave.

Using the intelligent brain’s analytical function, one could see streams of dark energy swirling like a vortex above the youth’s head.

"Indeed, despite cultivating top-tier Gravity Secret Skills, the ease of his Core Formation is exceptional among the billions of princes... Eh? A research talent as well? He’s even completed the QWE-245 type power engine?"

Nothing in the cave escaped surveillance.

Caesar became intrigued.

Although data on interstellar spaceships was common in the relics of the galaxy, the actual core components were extremely rare across the planet and mostly damaged.

As far as he knew, among the tens of thousands of royal princes and princesses, less than one hundred who took the technological route succeeded!

Each one was greatly valued by the Emperor!

Even when a new emperor ascended, they could attain significant positions. If they delivered tangible results, they could even enter the Royal Science Academy, reaping both fame and fortune.

The Royal Science Academy!

It was akin to an ancient senate of nobility, comprising nearly all the scientific elites of the empire, even capable of counterbalancing the Emperor.

After all, the peak scientists of this universe were also the top experts!

’This little fellow seems to have the potential of a scientist...’

’After all, he is a progeny of the Emperor, inheriting the Emperor’s excellent genes...’

The genes of the Phoenix clan had long been modified countless times to ensure every descendant was not only extraordinarily attractive but also possessed immense cultivation and scientific talents.

Otherwise, they would not have ruled the empire for so many years.

This race was indeed the pinnacle of bloodline among the human race!

"There’s a good show ahead!"

Just then, as Caesar noticed the fluctuation from Fang Xi’s Core Formation attracting nearby princes, a mischievous smile appeared on his face: "Among these individuals, one is the 132nd seed, distinguished in the Gravity Cultivation Method... having formed his core a month earlier than this No. 999..."

"Immediately activate nearby surveillance and computing resources, keep a close watch on this battle."

He promptly issued the command.

Everything happening on this planet was under surveillance.

Not to mention the important battles.

Each royal child’s potential was even assessed and ranked.

Fang Xi, being ranked 999, clearly suffered from the burden of the technological path.

After all, few succeeded on this challenging path.

"Rest assured, sir!"

The soldiers immediately set to adjusting the screens, comprehensively monitoring the area around Fang Xi’s cave.

Even on the darknet, heated gambling had started, with bets placed on the victor of this minor duel.

Caesar, aware of these activities, did not intervene.

Until the real 10,069 princes were decided, all such actions were permitted.

Indeed, according to the ancient traditions of the Phoenix clan, until officially recognized, one could not be considered a true prince.

The Emperor even allowed these Guards to kill a few who severely breached regulations...

The strife within the royal bloodline was just that bloody and brutal!

...

"Here it comes!"

Fang Xi watched the Star Core Golden Pill within his Dantian spin, opening his eyes which seemed to flash like lightning.

Then, he saw a grotesque mechanical dinosaur skeleton charging towards him.

"Mechanic?"

Fang Xi smiled slightly.

His inherited memories also contained this profession, but on such a resource-depleted planet, most of the materials required by mechanics could only be found in ruins, conflicting with his spaceship plans, naturally making him disdainful of the job.

"Not bad at all, this mechanical dinosaur has plenty of materials to dismantle, bringing me a step closer to assembling a spaceship."

He stood up, slowly raising his right hand.

An astonishing gravitational force erupted, making his palm seem to wield unimaginable power: "Nuclear Flat Palm!"
