Sword light flickered, and screams echoed.
Lin Feng originally intended to.
To properly test the might of the now-evolved Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
But before he could exert much force, a large number of enemies had already fallen before him.
Countless immortal divine properties floated in the air.
It was as if the sounds just now were nothing but an illusion.
Lin Feng reached out and collected them all.
A touch of regret.
Among so many people, there wasn't a single Dominator realm expert.
What a pity.
Of course.
If there had truly been a Dominator, he wouldn't have won so easily.
Although.
The battle ended so quickly that Lin Feng felt it was somewhat unreal.
But the numerous system notifications from Xiao Qing were entirely serious.
"You have slain an enemy target whose realm is higher than your own. Your combat power has increased by 100%."
"You have slain an enemy target whose realm..."
"You have slain..."
Dozens of notifications, all indicating an increase in combat power.
Just how high would his combat power be raised?
He felt a surge of excitement.
After the previous battle, his combat power had already reached 80 quadrillion.
With another several dozenfold increase, wouldn't he just ascend to the heavens?
A single punch to destroy a galaxy, two punches to obliterate an entire starfield?
He quickly opened the system panel he hadn't checked in a long time.
[Unique Character] [Lord of Eternity] (Bound, unchangeable)
Universal Standard Combat Power (Transcendence Tier): Quantity exceeds limit, automatically converted to higher tier.
Universal Standard Combat Power (Immortal Tier): Quantity exceeds limit, automatically converted to higher tier.
Universal Standard Combat Power (Dominator Tier): Exceeds character's current realm limit, unassessable.
Base Attributes: 100,000,000 (Final Combat Power Bonus 1000%, [Judgment], [Divine])
Energy Attributes: 1,500,000,000,000 (Current Usable Percentage: 10%. Reaching Transcendence Tier allows 20% usage, Immortal Tier allows 50% usage, Eternity Tier allows 100% usage.)
Estimated Strength: Level Twenty (Peak Dominator Realm)
[This estimation does not account for special effects of Immortal Tier and Dominator Tier, only the result of energy attributes.]
Exclusive Treasure: Heart of Eternity [Universal Unique Divine Artifact]
Usable Treasures: Immortal Slaying Sword Formation [Dominator Tier], Primordial Chaos Green Lotus [Immortal Tier], Innate Nine-Colored Divine Light [Immortal Tier], Innate Five-Directional Flags [Immortal Tier]
After examining the panel, Lin Feng was somewhat stunned.
Exceeds the limit, and it's no longer displayed?
In that case.
Would he no longer be able to gain combat power increases in future battles?
He refused to believe it and scrolled up through the system notifications.
He discovered that among the previous notifications, only the topmost few indicated an increase in combat power.
The subsequent ones were different.
"Your combat power has reached the limit of your current realm and cannot be further increased."
Lin Feng sighed.
There was such a restriction?
At the same time.
A sliver of hope remained in his heart.
Perhaps.
It was only because his current Immortal Tier strength was too low that there was such a limit.
Higher realms like Dominator would not be affected?
He immediately took action.
The effect of [Time Traveler] allowed him to quickly traverse to another star domain.
He was also fortunate enough to encounter a lone Dominator realm expert.
Without a word, Lin Feng engaged him.
After a period of fighting, he felt a sense of loss.
Although he had won.
And the opponent had fled in disarray.
The combat notifications were the same as before, indicating no further increase was possible.
Could his strength no longer improve?
Lin Feng fell into a state of confusion.
But he still didn't possess the ability to traverse the universe.
Even if he was invincible here, if he couldn't return to Shui Lan Star, and there was no one familiar in sight, what was the point of being powerful?
Lin Feng recalled a song he loved from his past life, "What If You Win the World But Lose You."
No!
He suddenly realized.
His combat power had merely reached the limit of his current realm and couldn't increase further.
But his energy attributes were still being displayed normally.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
This meant.
He was only limited by his current realm.
If he were to advance his realm, his strength could still increase.
He couldn't help but nod to himself.
That's right!
It had to be like this.
He decided to act immediately and began searching.
In this current phase, although Immortal Divine Properties were the true hard currency.
Before.
He had also collected quite a few Star Cores.
If he absorbed a suitable one, he could immediately advance to the Transcendence Tier.
But when he sifted through all the Star Cores he possessed.
He was disappointed.
With Xiao Qing's assistance in identification, he could see the approximate effects of absorbing these Star Cores beforehand.
But the more he looked, the more helpless he felt.
Apart from removing the limitations of his own planet and allowing basic entry into the starry sky,
Most of these Star Cores offered enhancements that were negligible.
For instance, increasing the attack range in the starry sky by 10%.
Increasing the energy recovery speed in the starry sky by 20%.
Improving flight capabilities, and so on.
Their effect on combat power was minimal.
Occasionally, there were one or two with special attributes, but their enhancement was very small.
Barely better than nothing.
Lin Feng wanted to strengthen them with Immortal Divine Properties.
But the ordinary ones displayed excessive consumption.
The ones with special attributes couldn't be strengthened with Immortal Divine Properties.
The prompt indicated insufficient energy tier.
He attempted to use his Dominator's Seal, which was indicated as usable.
However, each reinforcement required one Dominator's Seal.
To achieve an effect that could turn the mundane into the miraculous, it was unknown how many would be consumed.
Furthermore.
The foundation of these Star Cores themselves was limited.
Even if they were strengthened, they likely wouldn't yield anything exceptional.
Just then.
Xiao Qing suddenly sent a mental message.
Indicating that it could serve as a Star Core for Lin Feng to absorb.
Lin Feng was as if awakened from a dream.
Right!
Xiao Qing's essence was itself a Star Core.
It had merely been used by Lin Feng as an auxiliary tool since detaching from the will of the world.
He had forgotten its true nature.
Understanding this, Lin Feng became somewhat happy.
Xiao Qing's utility was far superior to that of a normal Star Core.
Not to mention.
After absorbing countless portions of his Immortal Divine Properties, it had grown terrifyingly powerful.
Not only could it provide him with a system panel.
It could even analyze and judge the approximate strength of a Level Twenty Dominator Realm expert.
It was in no way comparable to other Star Cores.
Since this was the case.
Lin Feng decided to directly absorb Xiao Qing as his Star Core for advancing to the Transcendence Tier.
Before absorbing it.
He also fed a significant portion of his current Immortal Divine Property reserves into it.
Hundreds of portions, in fact.
This significantly enhanced Xiao Qing's various capabilities.
Only when Xiao Qing indicated.
That it had reached its limit and could no longer fuse further.
Did Lin Feng stop.
Since he wanted to achieve a perfect promotion.
If Immortal Divine Properties could no longer be absorbed.
He attempted to infuse the hard-earned Dominator's Seals into it as well.
Hoping to make Xiao Qing even more powerful.
So that upon his advancement to the Transcendence Tier, it would possess a hint of Dominator Realm might.
However, to his surprise.
Xiao Qing instinctively conveyed a rejection.
This made Lin Feng rather curious.
