288: Chapter 288 "The Law of Heaven and Earth", Starburst

Lin Yun activated the "Law of Heaven and Earth".

His body size instantly ballooned, growing from ten kilometers to sixty kilometers.

The sixty-kilometer-long red giant beast spread its wings inside the Red Giant Star, blotting out a vast expanse of the sky.

With a swipe of his claws, the plasma was torn apart, forming a massive rift.

With a flick of his tail, a storm surged within the Red Giant Star.

His strength directly increased sixfold.

Feeling the power surging to the extreme within his body, a sense of heroic grandeur to dominate the starry sky rose in Lin Yun's heart.

With his current combat power, a casual strike could directly blow up an ordinary asteroid.

With Battle Intent surging in his heart and his claws itching, he couldn't help but want to find a celestial body to test his current true power.

Unfortunately, there were no planets here to test on.

The Magic Eye Planet was a companion planet to three stars, struggling to orbit within the gravitational gaps between them.

There were no other planets nearby.

Lin Yun no longer hesitated; he activated his Domain to manipulate dark matter, and with a flash, he vanished into the Dark Universe.

A star System four light-years away.

Lin Yun emerged from the Dark Universe and floated in space.

This star System had no life-bearing planets.

In fact, most star Systems in the Universe do not have life-bearing planets.

Life is a miracle, an accident, and the product of countless coincidences.

Most star Systems contain only barren rocks and gas clouds.

This star System had six planets.

Every one of them was larger than Earth.

The smallest one had a diameter twice that of Earth.

The largest one was ten times larger than Earth.

Lin Yun knew that he currently couldn't blow up a planet of this size.

Late Stage Rank Six, a sixty-kilometer body, and a sixfold increase—it wasn't enough.

He would need at least Rank Seven, or a higher level of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

He found a moon orbiting one of the planets.

It was the third moon of this planet; it wasn't large, with a diameter of four thousand kilometers, slightly larger than Earth's moon.

Its grayish-white surface was covered in craters, with no atmosphere, no water, and no life.

It floated in space, revolving around its planet.

Lin Yun flew next to the moon.

Compared to the four-thousand-kilometer moon, his sixty-kilometer body was still quite small.

The moon was dozens of times larger than him.

But Lin Yun didn't care.

He raised his right claw, aimed at the moon, and struck.

The massive claw, carrying destructive power, slammed into the moon's surface.

Red light exploded, and a massive crack appeared on the moon's surface.

The crack spread, extending from one end of the moon to the other.

But the moon didn't explode.

It only cracked.

Lin Yun was dissatisfied.

It didn't blow up?

He withdrew his claw and then activated Blood Qi Boiling.

Over the years, the Diyang Giant Beast Clone had also learned Blood Qi Boiling.

Blood Qi Boiling currently had five layers in total, capable of unleashing a sixfold increase in combat power.

The fourth and fifth layers were System rewards from when Bai Ling gave birth to offspring over the past two years.

Bai Ling's Martial Arts Talent was Heaven-grade Peak, and the children she bore were also Heaven-grade Peak.

She had given birth to two in the last two years, which rewarded him with the fourth and fifth layers of Blood Qi Boiling respectively.

Lin Yun activated Blood Qi Boiling, gaining a sixfold increase in combat power.

At the same time, he maintained the sixfold increase from the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Generally, only one type of explosive secret technique can be used; using two simultaneously would cause their effects to conflict, cancel each other out, or even cause damage to the body.

But the Blood Qi Boiling rewarded by the System could actually be used on top of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

This secret technique was terrifyingly powerful.

Sixfold plus sixfold resulted in a twelvefold increase.

Under the twelvefold increase, the Diyang Giant Beast's body emitted a terrifying aura.

Red light burst from its scales, forming a pillar of light in space.

Space was warping, light was bending, and even the orbits of distant planets were affected.

Lin Yun struck with his claw again.

The giant claw, imbued with twelve times the terrifying power, slammed violently into the four-thousand-kilometer moon once more.

BOOM!!!

A massive sound that seemed to shake the sea of stars exploded as brilliant flames soared into the sky; the celestial body shattered, and debris flew in all directions.

The entire four-thousand-kilometer moon was blasted apart on the spot by this single claw strike, turning into interstellar debris and dust that scattered into the vast Universe.

Lin Yun looked at the fragments scattered everywhere, feeling incredibly refreshed.

He could finally blow up celestial bodies.

From the time he transmigrated to this high-martial world until now, only thirty-six years had passed.

It had only been eighteen years since he truly stepped onto the path of martial arts.

Eighteen years ago, he was still a piece of trash with extremely poor Martial Arts Talent, unable to even get into a Martial Arts University.

Eighteen years later, he had fifty-one wives, three hundred and forty-three children, a cultivation at Fifth-Order Perfection, and a Diyang Giant Beast Clone at Late Stage Rank Six.

He could blow up celestial bodies now.

He could blow up a moon with a single punch.

He could tear a moon apart with a single claw.

Although he was still far from those truly powerful beings, he was only thirty-six years old.

...

The Diyang Giant Beast returned to the Demon Eye Star System.

Lin Yun glanced at the distant Red Giant Star, Neutron Star, and Helium White Dwarf, then flew toward the Red Giant Star.

The devouring was still ongoing; the Law of Heaven and Earth had only been cultivated to the second layer, with the third, fourth, and fifth layers still ahead.

The road was still long.

The Law of Heaven and Earth had twelve layers in total, which would require a significant amount of time to Cultivate.

Qilin Planet, Lin Family Manor.

Lin Yun's main body entered the cultivation room.

During the year the Diyang Giant Beast Clone spent cultivating the Law of Heaven and Earth, his fifty-one wives had given birth to another fifty-one children for him.

He absorbed all fifty-one newborns' rewards: fifty-one Ten-year Martial Arts Cultivation Insight Orbs.

The total number of children reached three hundred and ninety-one.

The total martial arts cultivation insight reached three thousand nine hundred and ten years.

Three thousand nine hundred and ten years of cultivation experience allowed Lin Yun's understanding of martial arts to reach a terrifying height.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, closing his eyes to check the Cultivation Technique in his mind.

Heaven-grade Peak.

It was a reward from the System when Bai Ling gave birth to a baby.

Bai Ling's Martial Arts Talent was Heaven-grade Peak, and the children she bore were also Heaven-grade Peak.

The things rewarded by the System would naturally not be bad.

What was rewarded this time was a Cultivation Technique, a Heaven-grade Peak Cultivation Technique.

Martial Artists at Ranks One and Two can only learn Yellow-grade Cultivation Techniques.

At Ranks Three and Four, they learn Black-grade.

The Cultivation Techniques at these stages are fragmented, categorized into different types, each forming its own System.

There are Channeling Formulas for absorbing cosmic energy, attack Combat Techniques for close-quarters combat, defensive Combat Techniques for blocking damage, and evasive Movement Techniques for dodging.

To form a complete combat capability, one must learn at least four types.

Lacking even one would drop one's combat effectiveness by a level.

By Rank Five, with an Elemental Golden Core, one can learn Earth-Grade and Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques.

Earth-Grade and Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques are integrated wholes; one Cultivation Technique includes at least a Channeling Formula, an attack Combat Technique, and an evasive Movement Technique.

The Channeling Formula is responsible for absorbing energy, the attack Combat Technique for outputting damage, and the evasive Movement Technique for survival and escape.

They are a trinity, and not one can be missing.

As for defensive Combat Techniques, those with money all wear Source Armor.

Defensive Combat Techniques? What kind of trash is that?

I don't know them, I don't recognize them, I've never heard of them.

The Heaven-grade Peak Cultivation Technique rewarded by the System was of the Space Element.

This was what Lin Yun needed most at the moment.

He had just broken through to Rank Five using the Space Element not long ago and was exactly lacking a space-system Cultivation Technique.

The System had delivered it; it came just at the right time.
