Hong murmured, "Lu Yunhe's sword strike completely pointed me in the right direction, even though I was lost in the fog. It was a perfect match for him."
After all, in the original work, Hong comprehended the domain of light, and Lu Yunhe is currently using the domain of light as well, so the insights Hong gained were extraordinary.
"Thank you for your guidance!"
Hong respectfully performed the ancient disciple's salute to Lu Yunhe. The one who has attained enlightenment is the teacher, and having long since reached this level through his frequent reading of classical texts, Hong was already well-versed in this concept.
"It's nothing, we're all doing this for the future of humanity."
Seeing Hong, who was much older than him, in this state, Lu Yunhe felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was just a kid who was not even 20 years old.
"That's right, the universe is far too dangerous."
Hearing Lu Yunhe's words, Hong nodded in agreement. According to the information he obtained from the ancient civilization ruins, any star-level powerhouse could sweep across the entire Earth, not to mention the cosmic-level powerhouses who could fight on white dwarfs.
"Unfortunately, I only obtained one piece of equipment by chance. After resolving the crisis of the Great Cataclysm, I was planning to continue exploring those civilization ruins."
Lu Yunhe didn't need to reveal the matter of his clone, so he went along with what the outside world said and treated the Ultraman transformation as a weapon to reduce trouble.
After a conversation about humanity and the universe, Hong again consulted Lu Yunhe about the field and also shared his insights on his research on mindset. The exchange was very pleasant.
"I'll send you the information I've gathered about the ruins once I get back to base."
Hong left reluctantly, but before leaving, he invited Lu Yunhe to visit the base he had built and to arrange another martial arts exchange.
Two days later, Lu Yunhe, having gathered enough information from various sources, quietly left the Jiangnan base, leaving Dong Nanbiao looking bewildered.
"First stop: the Amazon rainforest."
The No. 9 civilization ruins were also there, but they were not Lu Yunhe's target. According to satellite photos, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen deep in the jungle.
"It's only been a little over three years since the Great Cataclysm, and we haven't yet figured out many things that can enhance our strength."
Lu Yunhe pondered in his heart that things like dragon blood and water of life were nowhere to be found, so the only relatively safe options left were probably the spirits of plants and trees and the Wood Crystal.
Lu Yunhe's current goal is to cultivate the spirit of plants and trees, which is more suitable for apprentices to improve their strength.
However, spirits of plants and trees will be very rare even decades later, let alone at the very beginning of the Great Cataclysm, so one can only try their luck.
At Ultraman's current flying speed, it would take less than an hour to travel from the mainland to the depths of the Amazon rainforest.
"Ultra Vision!"
Upon arriving at his destination, Lu Yunhe immediately activated his Ultra Vision to observe his surroundings, searching for the largest trees.
Even in the densely wooded tropical rainforest, some plants stand out remarkably large.
"Found one!"
Lu Yunhe discovered a towering tree that was two hundred meters tall, which was equivalent to a sixty or seventy-story residential building. The trunk was so huge, not to mention the roots and branches.
call out!
Just as Lu Yunhe was getting closer, the ancient tree seemed to sense some kind of danger, and its massive trunk began to shake violently.
Seeing this, Lu Yunhe was overjoyed: "Since a spirit has been born, it seems that the spirits of plants and trees should also have been nurtured."
As Lu Yunhe approached, the enraged ancient tree brandished its thick branches.
Instantly, several branches, each over a hundred meters long and nearly ten meters in diameter, crashed down on Lu Yunhe like pillars.
These ancient trees, which have given birth to spirits, cannot move freely like animals, but their extremely large size gives them unparalleled strength and survivability.
Given that this ancient tree is 200 meters tall, even a missile attack would hardly be able to harm it, since the plant life in the Devouring Star is known for its enormous size.
Several branches as tall as skyscrapers crashed down; it's hard to calculate how many tons of force they could exert, but it's certainly not comparable to the strength of an apprentice.
Unfortunately, this ancient tree encountered a bug on Earth at this stage: an Ultraman clone that had reached the advanced planetary level, which it was no match for.
"Since we're already prepared to take away the other's spirit, let's not destroy it!"
The kind-hearted Lu Yunhe abandoned his idea of directly destroying the opponent with photon fluid. His tiny figure instantly transformed into a beam of light and rushed straight toward the trunk of the ancient tree.
As for the ancient tree's attack, its slow and feeble power made it impossible for it to hit Lu Yunhe, who had already comprehended the domain.
Swish!
Finding that its attack was completely ineffective, the ancient tree's branches instantly began to vibrate. Its towering 200-meter height allowed the shockwave to unleash terrifying power.
Using this move, the ancient tree repelled many monsters that wanted to devour it.
However, in the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile and powerless.
A blazing light flashed, and a large hole appeared in the trunk of the ancient tree, with a breathtaking green shadow firmly embedded in the core of the trunk.
"The true spirit of plants!"
Lu Yunhe appeared before the spirit of plants and trees, but the aura brimming with vitality did not cause him the slightest ripple.
Because he is currently in Ultraman form, even if the effect of the plant spirit were ten times stronger, it would still be difficult to attract the Ultraman clone.
"Sorry!"
Lu Yunhe stepped forward and forcefully pried off the egg-sized plant spirit.
After losing the spirit of the plants, the ancient tree, which had been incredibly frenzied, instantly became quiet. Without the support of the spirit, the ancient tree was just a massive, monolithic tree, and naturally, it no longer possessed any will to attack.
Having lost its core spirit of vegetation, this ancient tree will most likely find it difficult to nurture another spirit, and it is unknown whether it will die.
Looking at the ancient tree whose once vibrant leaves had turned somewhat withered and yellow, Lu Yunhe shook his head and landed on a different spot. Having witnessed countless partings and deaths during the Great Cataclysm, this small change could not disturb his mind.
Chapter 26 God of War Level
"I am currently at the level of a junior warrior. If I take this medicine directly, it should allow my physical attributes to reach the level of a junior war god."
Lu Yunhe scanned the energy within the spirit of plants and trees. He remembered that his first source of funding was the spirit of plants and trees; otherwise, he might have died in the mouth of a monster before he even got his first clone.
"Clone, protect me."
After a moment of reflection, Lu Yunhe had the Ultraman clone detach from his body and use his telekinesis to crush the spirit of grass and wood in his hand.
Without his clone, with his strength as a novice warrior, he probably wouldn't even be able to break through the outer shell of a plant spirit.
Pfft!
Under the influence of Ultra's telekinesis, the green crystal containing the spirit of plants was instantly crushed, and the vibrant green essence slowly flowed out, then floated in the air under the influence of the telekinesis.
Then Lu Yunhe opened his mouth, and the green essence slid into his mouth like flowing water. Ultraman's telekinesis squeezed the crystal into thin paper like a juicer, until the spirit of the plant was completely squeezed out before stopping.
As the last drop of essence entered his mouth, a familiar sensation swept over Lu Yunhe's entire body once again—cool, comfortable, and even his soul trembled.
Cold, shivering...
Under the complete power of the spirit of plants, Lu Yunhe's skin underwent a small, rapid vibration, and wisps of black substance seeped out from his pores.
Skin, bones, flesh, and even genes are all absorbing the power of the spirit of plants.
The last time the herbal crystals were too weak, they could only help Lu Yunhe open the door to becoming a martial artist. This time, the complete version of the herbal spirits not only enhances his strength, but also improves the user's aptitude.
Soon, with the transformation of this vital energy, Lu Yunhe's physical attributes increased from 8000 kilograms at the initial level of a warrior to 16000 kilograms at the intermediate level of a warrior... reaching the advanced level of a warrior at 32000 kilograms, advancing two realms in a row. The energy of the spirit of plants and trees was only half consumed. However, after breaking through the bottleneck of the War God level, the energy of the spirit of plants and trees was almost exhausted, with only a trace of energy remaining in his body.
"Absorbed!"
The instant the enhancement of the spirit of plants was completed, Lu Yunhe, who possessed a planetary-level consciousness, opened his eyes and instantly threw a punch forward.
boom!
The force of hundreds of tons exploded in the air, causing the nearby monsters to become agitated, but they dared not rush over.
"10 kilograms of strength, a novice war god."
Lu Yunhe clenched his fist. He had worked hard for several months to cultivate, but it was no match for taking a herbal spirit, which directly increased his strength by more than 90,000 kilograms.
On his own, it would take him several years to accumulate enough experience to reach the level of a War General, let alone the level of a War God. It would be a blessing from heaven and a sign of good talent if he could cultivate to the level of a Planetary before the start of the story.
"Good luck!"
Feeling the power flowing through his body, Lu Yunhe knew that if the Blood Demon Wolf King appeared in front of him now, he could kill it instantly with all his might.
Having reached the God of War level, with several times the power and a realm surpassing the Intent level, Lu Yunhe was now fully capable of contending with monsters around the first level of planetary realm.
At this time, it had only been a few years since the Great Cataclysm began, and those king-level monsters were at most at the early planetary level. As long as they didn't provoke the avian planetary monsters, their survival wouldn't be a problem.
"In that case, let the human body stay in the rainforest to hone its skills, while the Ultraman clones go to explore various ruins on Earth."
Lu Yunhe was initially hesitant, intending to wait until the human body was stronger before separating, but after consuming the spirit of herbs, he made his decision.
Cultivation is no longer an option. At most, the human body can hone its experience and skills through combat. Advancing in realm still depends entirely on accumulating resources.
In any case, in the world of Swallowed Star, the two most important foundations are the understanding of laws and the multiplication of the body's genes. Cultivation of realms is only something to do below the Immortal level, and then you can rely on resources. It doesn't matter whether you build a foundation or not.
"Then let's part ways here!"
After making up his mind, Ultraman's clone instantly transformed into a point of light and disappeared in front of Lu Yunhe, heading towards the location of the civilization ruins on Earth.
After Ultraman's clone left, Lu Yunhe moved his body a little, and with his planetary-level consciousness, he adapted to his greatly increased strength in just a few minutes.
"here we go!"
To be honest, since becoming a martial artist, Lu Yunhe's main body has not experienced many battles. The only battle that he felt truly pressured was the one against the Blood Demon Wolf. Apart from that, he used the power of his clones to crush his opponents.
Therefore, Lu Yunhe also planned to take this opportunity to hone his combat experience while fully absorbing the energy of the plant spirits within his body.
Click...click...
Lu Yunhe ran through the rainforest without any regard for the lord-level monsters that had been directly provoked.
"A low-level lord is too weak."
After passing through the territories of several monster lords, Lu Yunhe was finally stopped by a colossal creature.
"High-level Lord-class monster—Titan Serpent!"
Lu Yunhe looked at the Titan Python blocking his way. Its body was over a hundred meters long and its head was more than three meters in diameter. It could easily swallow several train carriages.
hiss……
The Titan Serpent glared angrily at the lord-level human who had intruded into its territory. Since it had reached the rank of high-level lord, no high-level monster had dared to invade its territory.
"Since you're not going to make a move, then take this punch from me first, with five times the force."
Boom...
A series of sonic booms rang out. Lu Yunhe's speed had now completely exceeded the speed of sound. In less than half a second, he crossed the distance between himself and the Titan Serpent and arrived above the monster.
