Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 406: Planet

Boom!

Two months had passed.

The Celestial Core Fragment had already dimmed to the extreme. It disintegrated like grass consumed by the raging fire and scattered softly to the ground.

Li Pin stopped the operation of the Celestial Martial God Manual. "The Celestial Core Fragment has been exhausted."

By now, a celestial body was taking shape within him. It looked similar to the Celestial Core Fragment but was spherical. Unlike before, when his Lifeform Force Field merely evolved his Natal Planet, it seemed a genuine celestial body was being nurtured this time. Even though it had yet to form fully, various profound phenomena were already emerging within it—gravity, magnetism, strong force, weak force!

Thanks to his precise control over his physical body, Li Pin could even perceive the strong and weak forces, originally confined to the atomic level. As the celestial body operated, these two special forces began strengthening his physique from the atomic level and even deeper.

These forces were far more profound than the scientific frontier's understanding of strong and weak forces of Blue Planet and Gaia. The concepts of strong and weak forces seemed to expand to a much deeper level, becoming more refined, profound, and unfathomably mysterious.

Li Pin couldn't help but recall the scientific community's so-called Grand Unified Theory.

What was happening to him now seemed to prove, at least to some extent, that the human body itself was a product of the Grand Unified Theory. Or rather, the gravity, magnetism, strong force, and weak force within the human body had already been unified in a way existing theories couldn't explain.

"Years ago, when I delved deeply into the mental spirit realm, I was astonished to find that the human body and the universe are incredibly similar. Could there truly be some connection between the two? Could the truth of the world be that a microcosm is embedded within a macrocosm...?"

If this hypothesis was true... then the theoretical next step after the Celestial Breaker and the Martial God Realm was to evolve from a planetary lifeform to a cosmic lifeform.

"The power of the universe..." Li Pin murmured.

He mused, "Speaking of which... on the micro level, the human body is made of atoms, and so are planets, the sun, the moon, and the universe. So why can't the atoms that form the human body destroy the atoms that form the planets, the sun, the moon, and the universe?"

As soon as this thought emerged, it grew rapidly like a seed sprouting.

It strongly hinted at a trend of opening a new path in martial arts beyond the Supreme Martial God.

However, Li Pin knew these were just theories. He was far from mastering the atomic domain. At this moment, he had only just stepped into the genetic level.

It was like when he had first entered the cellular domain. The gap between him and the atomic domain was akin to when he first started practicing martial arts and when he reached the level of a Supreme Martial God.

"Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles."

Li Pin closed his eyes, quietly absorbing these inspirations.

He was indeed far from touching the atomic domain. However, that wouldn't be for long. With his Clairvoyance and a direction to strive in, he would one day comprehend the atomic domain and how to use the power of his atoms to resonate with the atoms of the universe.

When that day arrived, he would ultimately attain power that spanned across the cosmos.

Li Pin sensed the celestial body that was forming within him. "Two months of training in seclusion, and the magnetic field's intensity has already increased. I must ensure it doesn't rise any further moving forward."

If his magnetic field intensity continued to increase unchecked, he would face a dire issue. Just like how larger celestial bodies in the universe emitted stronger gravity and were more likely to be captured by other massive celestial bodies, he–on Gaia— would face the same problem.

His current magnetic field's strength of 100 points wouldn't pose an issue in this regard yet. However, if it continued to increase, Gaia's Celestial Force Field would inevitably start suppressing his own magnetic field.

It was like a satellite in formation. On ordinary days, it would orbit the planet without any issues.

However, once his growth broke the gravitational equilibrium between himself and the planet, only two possible outcomes await. The first was that he would be drawn by the planet's gravity, colliding with it and adding to its mass. The second possibility was that he would become even stronger! He would use his stronger gravity to capture the planet instead, forcing it to orbit around him.

In the future, he would have the choice to integrate with the planet to increase his own mass or disregard it entirely, casting it aside.

Breaking this critical point between them was what Li Pin understood as the Celestial Breaker realm. It was essentially the transformation of a satellite into a planet.

Li Pin contemplated, Next, I will focus on enhancing my physique and mental spirit! The stronger the mental spirit, the finer the control over one's power. As the magnetic field strength increases in the future, it will also help me better contend with Gaia's Celestial Force Field.

Additionally, strengthening the physique and mental spirit was one aspect. When necessary, he should delve deep underground to search for Celestial Core Fragments to enhance the magnetic field intensity.

The higher the magnetic field intensity, the weaker the effects of materials like Primordial Electric Crystals. However, they still had some use in his current realm, as they had not yet become completely ineffective.

The Celestial Breaker realm, being a unique state, should be pursued swiftly. Once the critical point was breached, and he officially reached the Celestial Breaker realm, he needed to achieve a breakthrough in this realm as soon as possible.

The longer he delayed, the worse it would be for him.

It was like a satellite losing its gravitational equilibrium. Initially, as it began to fall toward the planet, an external force could still push it back into orbit. But once it got too close, its descent would accelerate faster and faster, until escape became utterly impossible.

Therefore, once the Celestial Breaker process began, speed was of the essence. During this period, to ensure the rapid growth of magnetic field intensity, even the refined essence of Primordial Electric Crystal extracted through instruments would not suffice, let alone the raw materials themselves.

Li Pin focused and checked his current state.

[Qi and Blood: 502.45], [Mental Spirit: 210.31], [Magnetic Field: 104.75]

His qi and blood level had grown steadily since he started training at the genetic level. He would reach 700 or 800 points without any issues. Even approaching a thousand wouldn’t pose a significant bottleneck—his progress would only slow down slightly as he neared that mark.

In some ways, 1,000 points of qi and blood should be the limit for carbon-based lifeforms. Beyond this, without exception, lies the realm of the extraordinary.

As his Natal Planet slowly rotated within him, the repulsive force between the two planets allowed Li Pin to float effortlessly into the air. As he utilized his Natal Planet, he also sensed the relationship between the planets and his physical body.

His body was akin to the celestial body of the planet, and the Natal Planet within his body corresponded to the planet's core.

The planet's core played the role of coordinating the forces of the celestial body and maintaining its stability.

The core of all his power was also on him.

As he floated out of the training room, he quietly felt the flow of the breeze and the radiance of sunlight.

Relying on the sensory abilities granted by the Clairvoyance gift, which far surpassed his current realm, he could faintly detect the star beyond Gaia. It was a celestial body radiating terrifying heat and gravity that bound Gaia in its grasp.

"The power of the stars."

Li Pin extended his hand as if trying to touch the sunlight. Or perhaps, he was trying to touch the star above the firmament that emitted endless brilliance and heat.

However, he was ultimately too far from the star, with Gaia's Celestial Force Field interfering. Sensing it was already his limit.

As for attempting to harness the power of the star, this was something he was still far from achieving.

"I'm still far from attaining the power of the stars, but my magnetic field's intensity is sufficient to deal with legendary demonic creatures."

Li Pin moved slightly to adapt to his increased strength and then stopped.

The best way to assess his current combat power was to find a legendary demonic creature that was strong enough and throw into an exhilarating battle.

With this thought in mind, he returned to Hualong Mountain.

On Hualong Mountain, Xing Ying and Xie Longcheng had already been waiting for him after learning that he had finished his training. Xiao Qiushui, the Human Alliance's Deputy Secretary-General, was accompanying them.

Seeing the Deputy Secretary-General here instead of at the Alliance, a thought came to Li Pin's mind. He asked, "Has there been a setback in the operations to clear out the demonic creatures?"

Xiao Qiushui responded, "Some incidents have occurred, but as the situation hasn't yet deteriorated to the most critical point, Yuan Zhenchuan instructed us not to disturb you."

Li Pin glanced toward the base of Hualong Mountain.

He was sensing gravity between celestial bodies. In his perception, the number of Celestial Martial God Hall's Martial Gods had significantly decreased.

As Li Pin detected the decrease in the number of Martial Gods in the hall, he was immediately reminded of a matter Shi Shihu had informed him about over a month ago.

He mused, "Has the Celestial Martial God Hall's Martial Gods gone to scout the perilous region?"

Xie Longcheng immediately replied, "Yes. The Human Alliance offered a generous reward. Additionally, when we reported to you, you instructed us to arrange matters as deemed appropriate. So, we selected Martial Gods with extensive scouting experience and had Hall Master Shi lead a detailed reconnaissance of the Slave Valley."

Li Pin nodded, finding nothing inappropriate about the arrangements

The Celestial Martial God Hall's Martial Gods had received his inheritance. They could theoretically train to the Top-Tier Martial God level with ease.

However, inheritance was one thing, actual combat was another. Allowing them to encounter demonic creatures in advance through reconnaissance was not a bad thing. Moreover, reconnaissance of perilous regions and hunting demonic creatures came with point rewards. With sufficient points, their training progress could accelerate.

"The reconnaissance of Slave Valley is a good opportunity to accumulate experience. Once they gain enough, the reconnaissance of Demon-Sealing Fortress, Degenerate Temple, and Bloodmoon Gorge can also be planned," Li Pin said, then turned to Xiao Quishui and asked, "So what exactly happened?"

Xie Longcheng was the one who responded. "It concerns the Star Alliance's Tenfold Heavenly Domain and the Forbidden Land within the Great Shang Territory."

He continued gravely, "Shortly after you went into seclusion, the demonic creatures in the Tenfold Heavenly Domain and the Forbidden Land both went out of control nearly simultaneously, with only a day's interval.

"They launched a massive attack, causing great destruction in the Star Alliance's southern area and the rear of the Great Shang Territory. The Human Alliance initiated emergency measures, postponing the original plan to clear out Slave Valley and mobilizing the entire Special United Squad. One group of them was sent to the Tenfold Heavenly Domain, and another to the Forbidden Land."
