Chapter 1223: Chapter 1077: Cosmic Tides

Fire Feather Star.

Deep within the Earth’s core.

A terrifying pressure pervaded all around, exceeding the surface’s pressure by millions of times.

The intense heat seemed capable of melting everything.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, his body enveloped in a shimmering blue radiance, completely ignoring the horrific environment.

Inhale... Exhale...

He observed his Dantian internally, only to see his own Core Formation looking like a dark star, which had recently tuned to resemble Fire Feather Star slightly.

"Let’s begin!"

Fang Xi muttered, and under the action of numerous engines, the planet’s rotation suddenly accelerated.

"Gravity Well! Ignite!"

Then, a massive sci-fi machinery beneath him roared to life.

A majestic gravity emerged, firmly binding everything on the planet.

Not only that, the terrifying gravity burst out in all directions, attracting all the dark matter and dark energy in the universe.

"Human Body Small Dantian, Universe Big Dantian..."

At this moment, Fang Xi seemed to establish a subtle connection with the planet.

He was in the Star Core, resembling the planet’s Golden Core, while the planet was in the universe, like the universe’s Golden Core...

With every rotation of Fire Feather Star, terrifying dark energy was drawn into Fang Xi’s limbs and bones.

"Condense!"

Inside Fang Xi’s Dantian, a piece of ’Subspace Crystal’ burst forth with dazzling brilliance, aiding him in soaking his limbs and bones with this dark energy and beginning his breakthrough!

"Planet Level! Success!"

Time unknowingly passed, and like water flowing into a channel, Fang Xi opened his eyes.

At this moment, he felt that Fire Feather Star had completely become his own, able to control its rotation and emit varying strengths of gravity with just his thoughts.

And with each planet rotation, the speed at which he absorbed dark energy simply exceeded that of when he was at the satellite level by who knows how many million times!

"The methods of cultivation in this world, each breakthrough in a major realm exponentially increases the energy!"

After breaking through to the Planet Level, Fang Xi remained cross-legged, allowing the planet to silently operate and devour cosmic energy.

"Wenger... I plan to retreat here for a period of time..."

Although at this moment, Fang Xi could already store Fire Feather Star in his Dantian Subspace, he still let it radiate gravity, accelerating his cultivation.

Considering the mess back on Emperor Star, he immediately decided to cultivate in seclusion here for a while.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, this old man will personally guard you."

Inside the spaceship, Wenger’s firm voice transmitted, "No one will come to disturb Your Highness..."

"Very well."

Fang Xi turned off the communicator, then casually stroked his fingers.

Threads of crimson silk then appeared around him, carrying the rich force of the Fire Attribute Law.

If Wenger saw this scene, his eyeballs would surely pop out.

Because this was indeed the Power of Flame Concept!

In this world, condensing concepts is extremely difficult; normally, to reach the extent that Fang Xi did, perhaps only a Red Giant Immortal using secret skills could achieve it!

But for Fang Xi, employing the power of Law was as simple as eating and drinking.

He was, after all, the Illusionary True Spirit of a Prime Taoist Master!

Even under Fang Xi’s intention, the Fire Attribute Law’s Taoist Species appeared, subtly merging with the core of the planet, making the surrounding temperature even higher.

"Ordinarily, a planet cannot transform into a Red Giant."

"The cultivation following Planet Level involves continuously remolding one’s own planet, and ultimately ’igniting’ it..."

"If one grasps the ’Fire’ concept prematurely, the likelihood of a successful breakthrough increases by at least thirty percent!"

"Understanding other Laws, or what’s called Conceptual Power in this era, almost guarantees a hundred percent success rate!"

This was what made Fang Xi confident to pursue the ’Gaia Series’.

What does a low success rate matter?

As long as the minimum requirements are reached, with his understanding of the Laws, his chance of a successful breakthrough is always one hundred percent!

Even if he later becomes a Neutron Star Immortal, it holds true!

As for becoming a Black Hole Immortal?

"At least, I can obtain the ’Space-Time Concept’ in advance... adding twenty percent more hope for a breakthrough..."

"Sato claims he is a genius, what are his chances of advancing to become a Black Hole Immortal? One in a thousand?"

"Although advancing in this way will most likely make me a weakling at that level... but my Planet Level crushing the Satellite Level, Red Giant Level thrashing the Planet Level, and Neutron Star Level comparing with a bunch of Red Giants and White Dwarfs... no problem."

After a session of cultivation, feeling the training speed at Planet Level far surpassing Satellite Level, Fang Xi was extremely satisfied and began to log onto the network to order resources for the ’Gaia Series’ at the Red Giant Level...

...

Lanicanian Empire.

Frontier.

Boom!

In the universe, supernovas exploded one after another, bringing blinding light.

Endless flames and energy rays annihilated an Insect race army.

This contingent of the Insect race was emerald in color, beetle-like with scythe-like forelimbs, known as ’Green Sickle Bugs,’ a lower-rank combat unit among the Insect race.

Insect race!

This was an exceptionally unique race in the universe, controlled by one "Insect Queen Mother" after another. Within the race, a strict binary pyramid structure was enforced.

In each race, there was only one supreme ruler, the queen, while the rest of the insects were slaves and warriors.

Moreover, because these insect queens possessed extremely powerful psychic abilities, they could easily exert fine control over each insect and even stir up psychic storms that could overthrow a fleet, making the insects’ combat capabilities astoundingly powerful. Coupled with their terrifying reproductive abilities, they were perpetually entangled in cosmic warfare with the Lanicanian Empire, with victories on both sides.

"Captain, these supernova bombs are potent..."

Far off in the distance, within a channel of a space fleet, various cheers erupted.

"Keep it up, crush those despicable insects..."

"After this job, we can go back home and start our own company..."

Amidst the cheering, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion suddenly interjected:

"Alert, alert... High-risk psychic field fluctuation detected!"

"High-risk psychic field? No, is it the Insect Queen Mother?"

The complexion of the commander aboard the warship dramatically changed, "Full activation of psychic defense mechanisms on the ships, forget the energy consumption, hurry!"

In an instant, a bright purple protective shield appeared, quietly enveloping the entire fleet.

Not far from the fleet, in the cosmos, the Void twisted, revealing a ’planet’!

Upon closer inspection, it was not a planet but a structure resembling a spherical honeycomb.

Divine Soldier Ants, Quantum Bees, Red Tiger Bugs...

Various types of insects crawled in and out of this honeycomb-like planet.

Deep within the planet, there was an indescribable female creature, extraordinarily beautiful from any species’ aesthetic standards, who opened her purple eyes, exuding an indescribable charm.

Whoosh!

A storm swept past the fleet, yet there was no sign of it in the cosmos.

—A Psychic Storm!

The fleet fell silent; all Lanicanian soldiers and officers seemed as though they were asleep, collapsing at their posts.

"Ah! I can’t die!"

A silver streak of light appeared, breaking away from the fleet and swiftly retreating backwards.

This was the captain of the fleet, a ’Neutron Star Level’ Immortal!

He moved at the speed of light, quickly leaving the battlefield and soon returned to the primary stronghold of the Lanicanian Empire in the North Border, the Star Gate headquarters.

Here, not only was there a Black Hole Immortal level empire marshal guarding, but also countless high-tech weapons and a massive army.

Through the Star Gate, this war-time headquarters could also receive immediate support from the empire.

The base was filled with permanent structures.

With such preparations, even an Insect Queen Mother of Black Hole Immortal level would...

This Neutron Star Level Immortal, basking in relief from having survived disaster, suddenly changed his expression.

Behind him, it was as if two super galaxy clusters collided, releasing a terrifying energy shockwave!

This shockwave was cosmic in scale, creating a tidal wave several light-years high that rolled towards the North Border headquarters...

Imperial Calendar, Fire Glorifying Era, year 88932.

The Northern Fortress, fallen!

...

Fang Xi was immersed in cultivating within the Star Core, having almost forgotten the passage of time in the outside world.

He did not know whether years, decades, or centuries had passed.

A tremor transmitted from the high skies suddenly woke him.

"What is this?"

Confusion flashed in Fang Xi’s eyes, and then with a thought...

Swoosh!

Fire Feather Star instantly disappeared, seemingly arriving at the center of his Dantian, slowly rotating.

With the power of this planet, each of his punches and palms now carried unimaginable strength.

Not to mention his efficiency in absorbing cosmic dark energy...

’This is Planet Level? Truly powerful in every aspect...’

Fang Xi shook his sleeves to see Wenger standing in the Void, bowing ceremoniously, "Prince Kaya, I am very sorry. If not for an emergency incident, I would not have awakened you..."

Wenger, looking at the current Fang Xi, had a strange thought cross his mind.

Although taking a common path for advancement, for some reason, standing in front of Prince Kaya made his heart tremble!

’I’m a Red Giant Level Immortal, why do I feel such pressure?’

Wenger was utterly baffled.

He did not know that after Fang Xi had advanced to ’Planet Level,’ what progressed the fastest was not strength but his comprehension of the Laws!

Now with his own planet’s power, he was already able to manipulate most of the Laws, making advancement to Red Giant Level almost certain.

Such a high concentration of the Power of Concept naturally made Wenger feel uneasy.

In fact, if a battle were to occur, it would be the same; although he started with a low base, the multiplier from the Laws was too high.

Fang Xi estimated that Wenger was no longer his match now.

"What exactly happened to make you interrupt my seclusion?"

He asked, a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Wenger immediately felt a chill in his heart, hurriedly bowing and answering, "The Northern military camp was annihilated, and the Empire has suffered a massive defeat... A new round of recruitment is underway."

"North Border suffered a crushing defeat?"

Fang Xi muttered, then said, "What does this have to do with me? Surely the ten-thousand-year term hasn’t expired yet?"
