Somewhere on the battlefield, a young man with silver hair and an icy demeanor stared blankly at the handsome young man returning, stepping on the head of a level 13 general-level beast: Monroe.
"He is... he is..."
Monroe stared at the young man, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
"Lu Sheng! It's Lu Sheng!"
Monroe would never forget this name, not even from the birth to the death of a star. At the Interstellar Martial Arts Genius Exchange Competition held in the Yamu star region, it was Lu Sheng who, at level 10, traversed two major level thresholds and defeated him, a level 12 martial expert. Lu Sheng almost annihilated him completely.
If the other hadn't held back at the last moment, Monroe would probably be living a second life by now. Monroe had never felt such immense, almost desperate, fear of anyone regarding martial arts talent.
Even after entering the interdimensional battlefield and hearing the incredible feats of Anon Turing, the number one genius of the Hundred Great battlefield. In Monroe's heart, Lu Sheng was still the most monstrous existence he recognized. And now, he saw him again... Stepping on the head of a level 13 general-level alien beast.
Monroe's mind felt like it had been struck by something. He simply couldn't understand how Lu Sheng could leap from level 10 to level 12 in just a few years since the Martial Arts Tournament. And his ability to challenge opponents of higher levels had become increasingly outrageous.
Having only just now advanced to level 12, he made killing a level 13 look as easy as killing chickens. There was a chasm of laws between level 12 and 13!
Most of the people in the fortress battleground shared similar thoughts with Monroe, and the way they looked at Lu Sheng… was beyond simply looking at a monster. It was as if they were scrutinizing an absurd being, transcending reality, outside the bounds of rules.
Only now did they truly understand the nature of this protective battle—a battle that had mobilized the entire Hundred Great battlefield army, even drawing the attention of the Star Elder army commander…
The one they were protecting… Just what kind of monstrous genius was this?! Even Anon Turing paled in comparison to this person.

"Wrath. This level 13 Seven-Colored Divine Sword and its blade made of the emotional law of wrath are indeed incredibly powerful…"
Lu Sheng was currently rapidly absorbing the latest wave of emotional law power he had just harvested. He discovered that these alien beasts were amazing nourishment for him and he wondered if Duan Yifeng, who created the Divine Crystals Dao, had intentionally done this.
The law powers wielded by these level 13 general-level alien beasts born from the Dark Side universe was perfectly compatible with his Seven-Colored Divine Sword. Each one was a great fuel for cultivation. This level 13 beast, swiftly and decisively slain by his divine soul strike, possessed the emotional law of shock.
Shock was the tip of the blade. At this moment, the tip of the level 13 Seven-Colored Divine Sword in Sheng's mind was rapidly forming. The overall power of the divine blade was also rapidly increasing.
"@#￥%"
A strange syllable descended from above, carrying a hint of anger. Sheng looked up, meeting the eyes of an entire sky. Beneath the Dead Sea-blue sky, countless eyes stared fixedly at him, revealing a multitude of emotions including resentment, hatred, anger, fear, and sorrow.
Lu Sheng experienced a moment of disorientation. The seven-colored divine blade in his mind suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, a cold snort rang out, shattering countless eyeballs.
Sheng quickly snapped back to reality from his daze. Looking at the sky again, his eyes now harbored a deep, icy coldness.
Just now... That level 14 being known as the Lord of Oblivion had actually made a sneak attack on him. If he had been an ordinary level 12, under the gaze of countless eyes simultaneously releasing their emotional laws, he would likely have been bewitched, I might even had suffered severe damage to his soul.
"I killed your dog and you still dare to glare at me?" he murmured softly, a glimmer of fighting spirit gradually burning in his eyes.
"Level 12", he thought.
He was at level 12 now, with numerous trump cards at his disposal. An ordinary level 13 would be killed without a second thought.
Ever since learning of the upcoming cataclysmic destruction of his native planet, a heavy stone had been weighing on his heart. A Damocles' sword had always hung over his head. Although he had been searching for a way to save the world, striving to improve his strength, wanting to single-handedly withstand the inevitable calamity, compared to a massive cataclysm that was about to engulf an entire star system... What he did was somewhat like an ant crawling a thousand miles, or the hero of the ancient fable called The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains.
But now... Lu Sheng finally felt it. He seemed to finally possess a small fraction of the strength needed. Enough to... try to reach that almost unrealistic goal and fantasy. And now was the best opportunity to test this small fraction of strength.
"Level 14... although it's still far from level 15, it should...allow me to see some things clearly, right?" he thought, his eyes suddenly blazing with fighting spirit.
He took a deep breath, then his entire body swelled up like an inflating balloon. Five million immortal cells within his body were simultaneously ignited, and a terrifying, immeasurable power instantly filled every corner and crevice of his body.
If he hadn't broken through to level 12, he would probably have exploded on the spot even in his Martial God state. But now, with forty-three strands of rule power surging within him, his martial body had reached an unprecedented level of strength.
"Boom---boom---"
Clusters of crimson energy exploded from his body, like hundreds of thousands, even millions, of stars exploding simultaneously. An indescribable, terrifying energy wave instantly swept across the entire battlefield.
Anyone swept by the aftershocks of this energy felt a chill run down their spine and their scalp tingle. Anon Turing, touched by this energy wave, felt as if the energy within his body was about to be torn from his body. He felt like a cat whose tail had been heavily stepped on. The green patterns on his body flickered wildly.
"This..."
Anon Turing stared in horror at the ever-expanding Lu Sheng, blurting out in disbelief, "What grade of bloodline power is this?!"
It could even fill him, despite his immortal-level bloodline, with fear. This terrifying pressure from the genetic level... It was impossible for someone of the same immortal level to achieve this.
Could it be... A monarch-level bloodline?!
A monarch-level bloodline holder is about to emerge from the Hundred Great star district?! The three members of the Haiji Dao group were also deeply moved. They no longer regarded Lu Sheng as someone of a lower level. Their eyes even began to show a hint of... awe.
The aura emanating from Lu Sheng had already made even these level 13 law experts feel a slight tremor. It was simply unimaginable. Lu Sheng had completely entered the protostar form with five million immortal cells. But he sensed that... this was not his limit.
"Let's try the main-sequence star form!"
A mad glint flashed in his eyes. The five million immortal cells burning fiercely within his body underwent another transformation and sublimation in the next second.
'kkkrrr"
A strange bird cry, carrying a faint ancient aura, resounded through the starry sky. Countless people were stunned. While they were still searching for the source of the sound, suddenly, behind Lu Sheng, whose body had swelled to a size of hundreds of kilometers, a giant bird engulfed in platinum flames slowly flew out.
Then came the second one. And the third one. The thousandth, and the ten thousandth. Tens of thousands of fiery birds circled the starry sky, their platinum flames illuminating everything in a light-year radius.
Golden Crow!
In his main-sequence star form, the five million immortal cells directly gave birth to the Golden Crow phenomenon. It was a manifestation of divine power caused by stellar energy condensed to an unprecedented level.
Before this, Lu Sheng had never done it.
"Hoo—" he slowly exhaled.
This breath, formless and intangible, instantly reduced all the strange beasts within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers in front of him to black ash. His size stabilized at three thousand kilometers, reaching a perfect state.
His entire body was wreathed in solidified platinum flames. Countless golden crows circled and danced around him. The void around him repeatedly collapsed inward, the depressions radiating a terrifying suction force.
At this moment, Lu Sheng seemed to have completely transformed into a star god from mythology. He carried the golden crows on his back, gazing up at the sky.
Facing the azure Dead Sea and the countless eerie eyeballs floating on it, he took a step forward. The next instant, he appeared beneath it. The sea and the sky seemed within reach.
Five-colored lights began to flash in his eyes. Stars appeared around him. Purple lightning roared, bursting forth from his body wreathed in platinum flames. Lu Sheng slowly raised his hand, clenching his fist. He aimed at the sky above and threw a powerful punch. This punch was his all-out effort, a complete revelation of his trump cards.
The punch's name:
"Five million Immortals, Platinum, Thunderous, True Martial Star Power, Break!"
The gaze of everyone present accompanied his punch, as did the gaze of every eerie eyeball in the blue Dead Sea and the sky above.

Immortal-level bloodline and monarch-level bloodline
Bloodline levels were introduced back in the Yamu star region, before the Tournament arc. Immortal-level seemed to be the highest one. But is it really? In this chapter, by mentioning the "monarch-level bloodline", Anon Turing is simultaneously expanding our horizon and raising new questions. We shall surely find out more about bloodline levels in future chapters.

Five million Immortals, Platinum, Thunderous, True Martial Star Power, Break
Chapter 534 introduced a technique called True Martial Star Power, Break (真武羣星之力.破) which allowed Lu Sheng to gain Thunder power in the Dream Space Universe. It seems the technique used here in chapte 576 is an improved version, immortal, platinum, and thunderous.
