Chapter 828: Supreme Divine Body

The scorching heat wave surged in from all directions, the energy inside Wang Ye’s body and the external heat wave violently colliding and annihilating each other.

He could feel the energy he had just absorbed being consumed at a terrifying rate; the power that had originally been enough to burst his body apart was becoming more and more controllable.

But at the same time, his fleshly body was being rapidly tempered, rapidly obliterated.

For example, on the battlefield, when you strike the opponent’s abdomen with a Warhammer, which side should be damaged the most?

The Warhammer, or the abdomen?

No, neither.

It’s the Armor.

The Armor will be severely deformed, even broken!

When the two collide, the thing in between them should be what suffers the worst damage.

And right now the energy inside Wang Ye’s body and the external high temperature were mutually annihilating.

The one suffering the worst damage was also his flesh.

Ever since his life level evolved, his fleshly body had never evolved again.

Because the growth of energy can be limitless.

But the hardness and toughness of matter has a limit.

The former Wang Ye had already explored the material limit of his own fleshly body to the utmost.

He had transformed his bones and flesh into carbon acetylene with a hardness dozens of times greater than diamond.

He had transformed his heart into a nuclear-powered furnace.

You could say that back then he had already transformed himself into a truly ultimate lifeform.

And, combined with the system’s purification, he allowed all these extremes to exist within his bodily structure in a subtle balance.

But these were only the limits within human cognition.

What about beyond human cognition?

There was still a vast amount of Dark Energy and Dark Matter.

In fact, over the long period of exploring evolution,

Wang Ye had already mastered much Dark Matter and Dark Energy unknown to humans.

But these things could only raise his fleshly body to a strength slightly above the limit of human cognition.

Up till now, his power had only been reflected in the existence of energy.

Every time he unleashed his power, his fleshly body would completely collapse once, but bodily collapse was no longer any kind of negative effect for him.

Because the energy within him could at any time reassemble that collapsed fleshly body; the flesh, to him, was nothing more than a piece of clothing he could put on or take off at will.

The silent Fixed Star roared in Wang Ye’s perception, a thunderous bellow—that was the purer power of destruction released by the nuclear fusion reactions in the Sun’s core. Not only did he not retreat, he instead sat down cross-legged, slowly, at the center of the raging heat wave! By his own will, he actively weakened the energy shield protecting his flesh, diverting a greater proportion of the terrifying temperature, radiation, and particle torrents directly into his body.

················

················

At this moment, hundreds of millions of humans on the Moon crowded in front of ultra-high-precision optical, radio, and high-energy particle detectors. Through the blurry footage and shocking data streams transmitted back to Earth, they were witnessing a scene that overturned all of humanity’s knowledge—

A tiny humanoid silhouette, at the center of the all-devouring Fixed Star flames… sitting cross-legged!

The observed coronal material of the Sun was converging toward that humanoid central point in a bizarre manner, forming a hazy halo.

Light shining on that region seemed to encounter some sort of obstacle, producing distortions and stagnation that could not be explained by traditional optics.

Wang Ye bathing in the Fixed Star brought them a sense of shock no less than seeing an Immortal transcending tribulation and ascending right before their eyes.

Transcending tribulation and ascending is a contest between man and the Heavenly Dao, symbolizing an unyielding heart that defies the Heavenly Dao.

But Wang Ye bathing in the Fixed Star was a being as tiny as dust, born of a planet, challenging the cold, boundless, iron-law-abiding Cosmos itself!

With an absolutely insignificant body, he faced the might of the grandest Fixed Star head-on! This was the ultimate weakness and the most merciless power, staging an ultimate showdown!

At this time, the energy within Wang Ye’s body had long since been annihilated down to a controllable level, yet he still did not leave the Sun’s surface.

Instead, he sat there quietly, cross-legged in the endless scorching radiation, accepting the tempering of the Sun’s radiation.

Now his fleshly body was being destroyed at a frenzied rate of over ten million times per second.

What kind of result would this lead to?

This caused the Law of Heaven and Earth Skill in his system to be rapidly increasing in Skill Level.

At a speed never seen before, it was forcibly raising the strength of his fleshly body.

The reason an ordinary person’s fleshly body is hard to improve is because of genetic shackles, because of nutritional scarcity, and also because of insufficient recovery ability. But now, the genetic shackles had been shattered by Wang Ye; nutrients were nearly inexhaustible; and recovering a damaged body was nothing more than a trivial task for him.

As Law of Heaven and Earth gradually increased in Skill Level, the strength and material density of Wang Ye’s fleshly body was doubling every second.

The previous second, it was still five hundred times the hardness of diamond.

The next second, it increased to a thousand times the hardness of diamond!

Two thousand times…

Five thousand times…

Ten thousand times!

This was no longer a hardness concept that could be measured at the conventional scale of the material world, but was striding rapidly toward the terrifying realm of White Dwarf and Neutron Star core matter!

His body itself, due to its excessively high density, generated a horrifying gravity that drew in surrounding matter, gases, and even radiation. At first, it was merely a vortex formed by the distorted solar prominence flows; next, the scorching hydrogen-helium plasma in a radius of several thousand kilometers began uncontrollably surging toward Wang Ye, forming a terrifying ring of energy circulation.

Under the strong gravitational pull, he even faintly affected light and time. Within Wang Ye’s keen perception, he noticed his own time was becoming slower.

Though only by a sliver, it had indeed changed.

It was as if the spacetime domain around him and the more distant spacetime had been separated into two spaces, undergoing entropy increase at different temporal rates.

This reminded Wang Ye of that instant of entropy-stillness when he first obtained Mercury’s planetary will.

In that instant, his gravity must have skyrocketed, briefly approaching Neutron Star or black hole levels.

But it lasted only for an instant,

because at that time his power was still insufficient to truly touch the level of controlling entropy increase.

It was merely the briefly surging power that allowed such a strange phenomenon to appear in a single breath’s time.

And now, the duration of this phenomenon was growing longer and longer, allowing Wang Ye to gradually gain new insights into the principles of this entropy increase.

But at this moment,

the tempering of his fleshly body still had not ended.

In fact, it was getting faster and faster!

Law of Heaven and Earth broke through level after level.

Finally.

After a long while, it broke through to the max level and began advancing to the next stage!

[You practiced Law of Heaven and Earth, gained some insight, Skill Level increased by 0.21%.]

[Your Law of Heaven and Earth Skill Level is full, advancing to “Supreme Divine Body”.]

[Supreme Divine Body lv1 (0.0%)]

In an instant, a vast ocean of cosmic truths poured into the depths of Wang Ye’s consciousness. The material structure and reinforcement pathways of his fleshly body were directly extrapolated by the system to a brand-new level, one that surpassed his old understanding!

The strengthening of his fleshly body was no longer a simple matter of adding “Dark Matter Coating” or reinforcing “molecular structures”.

It was a change at a more fundamental level—from macro to micro, from molecules to quanta, the system began, in an unfathomable way, to guide the most fundamental energies of the Cosmos to carry out “matter creation”!

Buzz——

A strange oscillation spread out from within his body.

First came the soaring of density; under the ultra-high-energy “forging and pressing,” material particles were forcibly compressed and arranged into a state of matter approaching the cores of ultra-dense stellar bodies.
