Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, enveloped in purple lightning plasma and crimson Stellar energy.
"Tenfold Martial Path—Golden Crow!"
Lu Sheng lightly touched his glabella. In an instant, as he was enveloped by countless energies, his black hair began to turn crimson-gold, and brilliant golden sun divine patterns rapidly appeared all over his body. After a few breaths, Lu Sheng completely entered the Protostar form of the Stellar Way.
At this moment, his entire body was burning with raging golden sun divine flames, covered in golden patterns like a god walking out of myths and legends. Handsome, noble, majestic.
Now that the number of Immortal Cells in his body reached five million, Lu Sheng only dared to enter the Protostar form. He didn't dare to step into the Main Sequence Star form, fearing that he would be burst by the surging power.
"With five million Immortal Cells, my Protostar form is several times stronger than my previous Main Sequence Star form with 330,000 cells..."
Lu Sheng raised his right hand and observed the divine patterns on its back. Among the dense and complex golden patterns, there were also some new purple patterns, shaped like lightning. They were hidden among the golden divine patterns, making them difficult to spot without careful observation.
He extended his hand. Solar divine flames surged and burned between his five fingers, accompanied by bright purple lightning, adding a few more points of destructive and explosive power to the originally only intensely hot flames.
"It's different now..."
Lu Sheng's eyes gleamed slightly, and purple lightning also flickered in his golden pupils.
"Thunder conceived within the sun... Then this Protostar Golden Crow form should be called the Thunder Golden Crow form..."
Lu Sheng flashed, traversing a large expanse of the desolate universe, and suddenly appeared above a giant, lifeless planet. He had never stopped cultivating in this Dream Universe.
"Let's try it, the power after integrating the power of lightning."
Lu Sheng looked down at the enormous planet and turned to face it while spreading his arms wide in a starfish position.
"Four Extremes Spirit Realm Cloak—Hundred Weapons Martial Arts!"
Hundred Weapons Martial Arts. This was the first Martial Saint Skill Lu Sheng comprehended on his own after being promoted to a Level 9 Martial Saint. Now, this Skill had evolved to the level of a divine ability, and because of Lu Sheng's understanding of his own Dao, the Tenfold Martial Path, this divine ability was already vastly different from its original form.
As Lu Sheng spread his arms, the void behind him was rapidly filled with brilliant crimson gold. Large swathes of golden flames gathered, followed by purple lightning plasma. The two energies converged and quickly condensed into an incredibly vast curtain. This curtain was like a celestial canopy, almost capable of obscuring one-third of the planet below.
Waves surged and rolled within the curtain of thunder and fire. Soon, various types of weapons emerged from it. Compared to when he was a Level 9 Martial Saint, Lu Sheng's martial arts skills had become countless times richer.
Hundred Weapons Martial Arts... It would not be an exaggeration to call it Myriad Weapons Martial Arts now. Every weapon was entwined with thunder and fire, and the power contained in each weapon was enough to easily kill any martial arts expert below Level 11.
"Drop!"
With Lu Sheng's command, hundreds of millions of thunder-fire weapons shot towards the massive planet below. In just a blink of an eye, a small part of the planet was completely submerged in an ocean of thunder and flames.
The exploding fireworks were gorgeous. But no sound was heard. Lu Sheng quietly watched below, as countless black smoke clouds rose from the explosion, gathering into an ocean of black mist, converging towards him.
He silently absorbed this massive amount of martial arts memories, extracting what was useful to him and rapidly filling in the techniques that had not yet reached the peak of the Five Realms.
"Only now, with almost inexhaustible energy, I dare to be so extravagant... Otherwise, with this move, even with five million Immortal Cells, my stamina would be instantly drained..."
"This move, Hundred Weapons Martial Arts, comes from Master Yang Yizhou's inheritance, the Four Extremes Spirit Realm Cloak. Now that I use it, it almost completely unveils the essence of Master's Four Extremes Dao."
Lu Sheng didn't know if this was good or bad.
Among the three major inheritances he received, Master Yang Yizhou's inheritance was the most profound, directly pointing to Level 16. But it was also his inheritance that he comprehended the least. Perhaps it was because the Four Extremes Dao held by Yang Yizhou conflicted with the Tenfold Martial Path he himself wanted to diligently develop.
Whether it was Wang He's Level 15 Stellar Way, Duan Yifeng's Level 15 God Crystal Way, or the Dao of the Level 11, Level 12, and even Level 13 experts he inherited in the Dream Universe, all could serve as embellishments and supplements within the framework of his Tenfold Martial Path.
Only Yang Yizhou's Four Extremes Dao seemed by essence incompatible with his Tenfold Martial Path. So, all he could do was break down this inheritance bit by bit and slowly integrate it into his own Dao.
This also meant that unless Lu Sheng could completely forge his own Dao, he would lose a broad path directly to Level 16. Such a choice could only be made by someone with true great perseverance and resolve.
Regret? Lu Sheng asked himself. Perhaps. But he was very clear about one thing.
"Just Level 16 cannot save this universe..."
The desolate and lifeless starry sky before him was the battlefield after Master Yang Yizhou's failed struggle against the Dark Side Universe.
As he contemplated, the planet beneath his feet had already been carved away by almost half. Lu Sheng sensed it briefly; the absorption of this part of the planet successfully elevated one of his Fifth Realm martial arts to its peak. Beyond that, his cosmic energy had also increased.
"If I destroy this entire planet, with good luck, I might be able to complete two to three more..." Lu Sheng secretly calculated in his mind.
At this moment, several angry roars suddenly came from the shattered planet below. Soon, several figures broke through the barrier of intertwined lightning and fire and appeared in Lu Sheng's sight. Hecasually glanced at them, regretting that there were no Level 13 existences among these individuals.
"The highest is only Level 12, but I don't know how many Rule Powers these Level 12 experts have integrated."
Lu Sheng twisted his neck, and a series of explosive crackling sounds of bone and flesh colliding echoed from his body. He quickly lunged at these figures, trailing a long, brilliant purple-gold tail flame in the dark starry sky.
"Let's see... how strong the Thunder Golden Crow is."
The next second, their figures intersected.
"Boom!"
Even more brilliant fireworks bloomed in the starry sky.

At the same time, outside the Alien Battlefield's fortress, a brilliant silver light almost submerged a small part of the base. Massive silver light points converged into an ocean of silver.
Countless experts stood inside and outside the base, looking at this scene with shock. In their sight, within this ocean of silver light, a giant reddish-purple cocoon of light was pulsating vigorously, surrounded by dozens of dazzling silver rivers. The scene was so shocking that it was unforgettable.
"Heavens, how many Rules has the person inside this light cocoon comprehended?!" murmured an expert, flabbergasted.
