299: Chapter 299 Emperor Yang Beast, Seventh Tier

Advancing from the Sixth Rank to the Seventh Rank requires integrating the Domain into the Golden Core.

The Domain is the hallmark of the Sixth Rank, while the Golden Core is the core of a Martial Artist.

By integrating the Domain into the Golden Core, upon successful Fusion, the Golden Core will transform into an Internal World, and the Martial Artist will enter the Seventh Rank.

It is easy to say, but difficult to do.

The Domain is external, while the Golden Core is internal.

Compressing something external into an internal container is like trying to stuff an elephant into a refrigerator.

It requires immense control, extremely high-level techniques, and countless attempts.

Over the past ten years, Lin Yun has tried countless times, failing every single time.

He thought that since his Golden Core already contained a world, this process would be very smooth.

Who would have known that he would be stuck here for ten years?

The main reason is that his Domain is simply too large.

When he first reached the Perfection of the Sixth Rank, his Domain already covered two hundred kilometers.

Compressing a two-hundred-kilometer Domain into a fist-sized Golden Core—the difficulty is self-evident.

The Domains of ordinary Sixth Rank Martial Artists are only a few dozen kilometers, making them much easier to compress than his.

Therefore, for these past ten years, Lin Yun has not continued to expand his Domain, focusing only on increasing its power.

At this moment.

Lin Yun focused again, channeling his power to control the massive Space Domain spanning two hundred kilometers, compressing and gathering it toward the Tenth-Grade Dao Core within his Dantian.

At first, the compression speed was extremely fast, and the Domain rapidly retracted into the Golden Core.

However, as the compression progressed, the speed became increasingly slower.

By the end, it was as slow as a turtle, making it nearly impossible to advance even an inch.

After exerting all his strength, he had only managed to compress and integrate about eighty percent of the Domain into the Golden Core.

The remaining portion remained stubbornly stagnant, unable to move inward even a fraction.

Over these ten years, Lin Yun went from only being able to integrate forty percent of the Domain at the beginning.

He polished and improved it bit by bit.

Until now, he has barely reached eighty percent; the progress is frustratingly slow.

Lin Yun withdrew the power circulating through his body, sighed helplessly, and was about to get up and put aside the matter of the Breakthrough for the time being.

Just then, a look of undisguised joy suddenly appeared on his face.

Through their mental connection, he clearly sensed that his Diyang Giant Beast Clone, far away in the depths of the Demon Eye Star System, had finally encountered an Opportunity for a Breakthrough!

Within the vast and boundless Demon Eye Star System, in the heart of that raging, mature Red Giant Star.

The Diyang Giant Beast was no longer what it used to be; its massive body had grown to a length of forty kilometers, its scales were as red as fire, and its body radiated an overwhelming stellar aura.

The flame-filled Internal World gestating within it had expanded to two hundred and forty kilometers, its foundation thick to the extreme.

The Diyang Giant Beast did not hesitate in the slightest; it suddenly opened its massive maw and fully unleashed its innate Devouring Talent.

In an instant, a vast area of pitch-black, enormous sunspots suddenly appeared on the scorching surface of the Red Giant Star.

Countless scorching rays, surging lava, and pure stellar Origin.

All were forcibly swept up by this domineering devouring power, surging completely into the giant beast's belly; the scene was incredibly shocking.

Lin Yun carefully sensed the absorption speed and energy accumulation of his Clone, and he came to a conclusion.

If it continued to devour and refine at this speed, it would only need to absorb steadily for one whole month.

The Diyang Giant Beast Clone would be able to naturally break through the shackles of its Realm and complete a brand-new transformation.

One month.

Neither long nor short.

Lin Yun immediately put aside all his worries regarding Cultivation.

There was no rush for his main body to reach the Seventh Rank; it was enough for the Clone to quietly devour the star and grow steadily.

The Diyang Giant Beast continued to devour, while Lin Yun's main body continued to cuddle, hug, and lift his wives high.

Cultivating during the day, and being passionate at night.

Life was carefree, happy, and immensely enjoyable.

The lights in the master bedroom remained on until dawn every night.

...

One month later.

Demon Eye Star System, inside the Red Giant Star.

The body of the Diyang Giant Beast floated in the scorching plasma, the red light on its scales growing brighter and brighter, like a star about to ignite.

Its body size had grown to one hundred kilometers.

The one-hundred-kilometer-long red giant beast had wings that were wider than its body when spread, and the flick of its tail could tear through space.

Its Internal World was three hundred kilometers.

Flames surged, and energy was abundant.

Over this month, the Diyang Giant Beast had devoured without stopping for a single moment, as the matter of the Red Giant Star continuously poured into its Internal World, converting into the purest energy.

The red patterns on its Life Core had become dense and intricate, making it almost impossible to see the original transparent base color.

Suddenly, the flame Domain contracted.

The Diyang Giant Beast's flame Domain had originally covered a range of over a thousand kilometers, bringing all the surrounding plasma under its control.

But now, the Domain was being pushed by an invisible hand, rapidly contracting toward its body.

One thousand kilometers.

Five hundred kilometers.

One hundred kilometers.

Fifty kilometers.

Ten kilometers.

The Domain shrank smaller and smaller, faster and faster, finally turning into a beam of red light that merged into the Life Core.

The Life Core trembled violently.

The red patterns seemed to come alive, flowing, intertwining, and merging on the surface of the Life Core.

The originally scattered patterns gathered together, forming a complex design.

That was the prototype of a world, the manifestation of Laws, and the core secret within the Diyang Giant Beast's Bloodline Legacy.

The Internal World expanded rapidly.

Three hundred kilometers, five hundred kilometers, eight hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers.

It surged directly to one thousand kilometers in one go.

The one-thousand-kilometer Internal World was filled with surging flames, abundant energy, and stable space.

Clouds condensed from flames floated in the sky, rivers gathered from flames flowed on the ground, and winds formed from flames filled the air.

This was a world composed entirely of flames—pure, scorching, and violent.

The Diyang Giant Beast had broken through to the Seventh Rank.

Lin Yun felt this surging power.

He was now Seventh Rank.

To go from the Sixth Rank to the Seventh Rank, ordinary Martial Artists need hundreds or thousands of years of bitter Cultivation, countless life-and-death battles, and immense Opportunity.

And for him, all he needed to do was eat.

Eating a star was enough.

The giant beast Lin Yun had a questioning look on his face.

"It's that simple?"

It really was just eating stars every day, and he automatically broke through.

He found it hard to believe.

But the facts were right in front of him; the Diyang Giant Beast's Bloodline was just that strong.

No need to Cultivate, no need to comprehend, no need to accumulate.

Eating is Cultivating.

Eating is breaking through.

Eating is everything.

After confirming that his Realm was completely stabilized, Lin Yun felt immensely gratified.

He stretched his massive body, soaring and shuttling wantonly inside the scorching, violent Red Giant Star.

The one-hundred-kilometer-long red giant beast spread its wings inside the Red Giant Star, weaving through the torrents of plasma.

Its wings flapped, stirring up waves of heat.

Its tail flicked, tearing through streams of plasma.

His speed was astonishingly fast, more than ten times faster than before the Breakthrough.

He flew around the core of the Red Giant Star, circle after circle.

It was incredibly exhilarating.

He didn't know how many circles he had flown before he finally stopped.

Upon breaking through to the Seventh Rank, the biggest change was not the body size or the Internal World, but the World Projection.

Sixth Rank Martial Artists use their Domain to suppress enemies, while Seventh Rank Martial Artists use their World Projection.

The Domain is an external energy field, while the World Projection is the manifestation of the Internal World.

A Domain can only suppress, but a World Projection can not only suppress but also attack, defend, trap enemies, and strangle them.
