155: Chapter 155 Explosion, First-Tier High-Grade Spirit Essence Crystal Vein

At this moment, the Incarnation's fortune and spiritual sense both issued warnings; an immense danger was about to emerge, and it was directed straight at the body of the giant Transcendent Star Beast.

He had always prioritized the maximum protection of his own safety and interests.

He immediately returned to the core of the formation domain and grasped the [pillar supporting heaven staff] to control the grand formation's defensive force field.

The formation's force field twisted into the shape of a slingshot, lifting the Star Beast's 50-kilometer-large body to its limit before launching it into outer space.

As time passed, red patterns gradually covered the Star Beast's body, and the core energy reaction within it grew increasingly intense.

At a position 50km above the ground, the core energy reached a critical point of inward collapse, condensing into a single point of extremely high energy level.

"Boom."

In the distant high altitude, endless light and heat were released. Once again, a white-hot "sun" appeared in the sky, illuminating the entire night.

The Star Beast's body was torn apart by the force of the explosion, flying toward other parts of Blue Star with the blast as the center—this was another meteorite descent.

However, the danger this time was not small; it was like nuclear bombs falling toward the earth, smashing huge craters into the ground.

During this process, larger fragments of the body began to disintegrate, scattering in all directions along with the flying soil.

Such cosmic creatures do not have blood in the traditional sense; instead, they contain high-concentration energy liquids, which were carried by the body fragments toward the surface of Blue Star—mountains, cities, rivers, and oceans.

The nearby Tianhe Dojo naturally received quite a few fragments, but fortunately, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area was supported by a defensive force field, so these fragments merely landed slowly on the ground.

The largest piece was the arm that had been wounded and eroded by the red divine lightning used by the Incarnation.

It landed not far from the dojo, and the moment it touched the ground and the Vital Qi, the laws within it transformed into a mountain range 10km long and 6km high.

Inside the mountain range, under the radiation of the Vital Qi laws, large amounts of energy liquid transformed into a first-grade [Spirit Origin Crystal] vein, causing a massive eruption of [Vital Spirit Qi]. A portion fell as abundant Vital Qi, flooding the entire mountain range.

Another portion enlightened mountain spirits and plants, turning them into spiritual plants and spiritual beasts; as the whale falls, all things flourish.

The explosion gradually subsided, but the sky remained dim. The dust kicked up by the numerous falling fragments covered the entire Blue Star, but fortunately, it was just dust, and it would fully recover within a year or two.

The three disciples also flew to the Incarnation's side. Seeing that their master had resolved this massive Transcendent Star Beast single-handedly, they felt somewhat excited and proud.

Lu Tianxin said happily, "Master's divine might is peerless; slaying a Transcendent Star Beast is as easy as reaching into a bag."

"Then, can we enjoy the spoils of war now?"

Seeing that everyone was very excited, the Incarnation took them toward the Beast Claw mountain range while warning them.

"I always feel that things proceeded too smoothly. This Transcendent Star Beast was approaching an intermediate level; it should have had more capabilities than this."

"You few must be careful. Does this Star Beast have any sinister tricks?"

"Yes."

Since the master had said so, the three disciples naturally took it to heart and remained vigilant at all times.

The group arrived above the Beast Claw mountain range. The mountain range appeared black as a whole and was covered with red patterns.

At the center of the beast claw was a five-clawed mountain, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws toward the sky.

In less than half a day, the core part of the Beast Claw mountain range had already reached a first-grade environment.

At the palm of the Beast Claw mountain, it had even formed a valley. Looking down from high altitude, red lightning was intertwined there, and various types of thunder energy gathered, effectively becoming a Thunder Valley.

The four of them came here to investigate first. Entering the Thunder Valley and carefully sensing it, they found that a natural first-grade formation had already been generated here—it was a natural thunder layout for accumulating thunder energy.

The [Star-Slaying Thunder Punishment Dharma Sword] manifested outside, and the entire formation, as if seeing its master, automatically opened a path for them.

Chen Tianping was extremely envious of his master's Dharma sword.

"Master, your Dharma sword has actually reached the high-grade level; no wonder you slew this Star Beast so easily. I wonder when I will be able to refine such a powerful Dharma artifact."

The Incarnation carefully examined this thunder-path formation domain and said.

"If we modify this place, it could potentially become a resource site specialized in producing thunder-path precious materials, as well as a place for refining Dharma artifacts using Heaven and Earth."

Hearing this, Chen Tianping was somewhat excited.

"I ask Master to point out a clear path for his disciple."

The Incarnation smiled, pointed a finger, and a stream of information was transmitted into the minds of the three.

"This is the maintenance and refining formation I have deduced. You should study it carefully and set it up here."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing the method."

Although this place was of no use to an existence with his cultivation level, the foundation resources for the Tianhe Dojo were quite good.

Subsequently, the group went around to inspect the entire Beast Claw mountain range.

Although the Tianhe Mountain range previously had a super-large formation domain supplying energy, which was enough for the master and disciples, it had gradually become stretched thin as more and more people made breakthroughs.

The appearance of this first-grade mountain range perfectly compensated for the energy supply.

As long as the [Spirit Origin Crystal] vein underground was well maintained, it could provide them with a first-grade environment continuously.

The Incarnation immediately walked through the entire Beast Claw mountain range, laying down layers of restrictions on the mineral vein and clearing the Earth Qi nodes and the inflow of Heaven and Earth energy.

He hoped to cultivate this Transcendent energy vein to a higher grade and larger scale.

According to the "galaxy general knowledge," based on the number of Transcendent cultivators it can support, the energy level, and sustainability.

A place that only relies on the formation domain to convert energy and maintain a first-grade environment is called first-grade low-grade.

Under long-term nurturing, it may give birth to a Transcendent energy vein, promoting it to first-grade mid-grade. At this time, the vein is only enough to maintain the balance of energy inflow and outflow; excessive mining carries the risk of regressing back to first-grade low-grade.

At the same time, such a first-grade Transcendent energy vein is also the minimum environment for maintaining corresponding-grade Transcendent plants.

Subsequently, after being promoted to high-grade through long-term investment in formation domains and treasures of heaven and earth, it can sustainably produce [Spirit Origin Crystal].

It can also continuously expand the scale of the vein to the surroundings by modifying mountains and relocating mountain ranges.

From small veins covering 10 li to medium ones of 100 li, and large ones of 1000 li.

Thus, a complete Transcendent ecosystem is formed, sufficient to support the survival of a large number of first-grade life forms.

The Incarnation and the disciples also discovered that in such first-grade high-grade Spirit Origin Crystal veins, the speed of Heaven and Earth Qi circulation is much faster, and the difficulty for level 10 life forms to promote to Transcendent in this environment is also greatly reduced.

However, during the investigation along the way, the Incarnation discovered that some spiritual beasts had undergone some mutations unique to Star Beasts. Even when probing deeply with spiritual power, there were still some residual spiritual fragments.

"I didn't expect them to be here?"

The Incarnation grabbed a large mass of Vital Qi and several strands of [Vital Spirit Qi] and injected them into a spiritual deer beast. As the spiritual deer's life level continuously increased.

The spiritual fragments within its body continuously gathered, forming a small spiritual core.

The Incarnation did not stop it, instead watching to see what tricks this Star Beast had up its sleeve.

Seeing that after the spiritual core was formed, it rushed into the depths of the spiritual beast's soul, completing the possession instantly with an irresistible force.

"So that's how it is."
