295: Chapter 295 An Attempt at Faith! The Effect Is Incredibly Powerful?

Starlight flickered, and the Star Core revolved.

Yun Xin closed his eyes, having completely immersed his mind into this hard-won Star Core.

For nearly ten years, his strength had been stagnant.

The reason was to wait for an opportunity like today!

His body's energy transformed into a ball of flame, tightly enveloping the Star Core.

As soon as his profound foundation touched the Star Core, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, instantly ignited.

The Star Core shone brilliantly, bursting forth with a giant phantom, seizing the initiative!

Yun Xin gritted his teeth tightly, enduring the soreness present everywhere in his body, using his mind to try and communicate with the Star Core, bit by bit.

With these years of forbearance, his willpower had long been tempered to a degree others could not imagine.

It took almost no time before he forcibly endured the pain and established a connection with the Star Core.

His profound foundation was revealed without a doubt at this moment.

He quickly gained the recognition of the 8-star Star Core.

The phantom of the Star Core slowly shrank, falling towards his chest.

It looked like he was about to complete the Fusion.

Suddenly.

A figure flickered within the Star Core.

Yun Xin's mind jolted.

Countless pieces of relevant information flooded his mind instantly.

By having faith in this figure, he would obtain additional power from this Star Core.

The price, however, was that a portion of the Star Power he absorbed while Cultivating in the future would be intercepted by the other party.

The ratio between the two was equal.

They were: 10%, 20%, and 50%.

Yun Xin hesitated slightly.

He started calculating in his heart.

If this additional power offered a significant boost, then this Heavenly Dao contract might not be a bad form of assistance.

But if he paid 50% of his Cultivating resources only to receive a minimal boost, that would be a huge loss!

He instinctively wanted to abandon this contract and undergo a normal Breakthrough.

Regardless, after successfully breaking through with an 8-star Star Core, he would already be a top-tier existence within the Transcendence Realm.

Possessing the talent to engrave Star Cores, he would be able to use Star Cores of the same grade every time he reached a new Realm in the future, with infinite potential.

How much help could a little extra power really be to him?

But just as he was about to make a decision.

He thought of his father's words again.

"The planet called Water Blue on the other side is truly unpredictable. In just one month, it went from improving its foundation to suddenly being able to synthesize top-grade Star Cores. I even suspect this is the descendant of some Dominator Realm powerhouse playing around in the mortal world..."

Yun Xin made a decision instantly.

Then he would place 20% of his faith in it and give it a try!

Anyway, a 20% loss in Star Power wouldn't affect his Cultivating speed too much.

And if this extra bonus could even reach 10%, he would have made a profit!

Having made his choice, he began to silently recite the content of the contract and bowed once toward the position of the figure.

"I am willing to convert to my Lord with my faith!"

"May my Lord's sword light sweep across the universe!"

As his faith in his heart became more and more pious, the contract was gradually established.

Until the content of the contract was finished.

The figure smiled and nodded at him.

Along with the phantom of the Star Core, it fell into Yun Xin's chest.

Yun Xin's body shook violently.

He felt an energy core appear in his chest.

And all over his body, strands of starlight began to shimmer, becoming extraordinary.

The starlight flickered and faded intermittently.

Slowly transforming Yun Xin's body.

One day.

Two days.

Outside the door, Yun Kai went from anticipation to anxiety.

And then to excitement.

After such a long time, he must have completed the Breakthrough and be in the middle of Fusion and transformation, right?

According to his experience.

Absorbing a top-grade Star Core takes about two days or more.

His son had a profound foundation, and his compatibility with it should be high, so the time might be shorter.

But until another half a day passed, there was still no movement in the secret chamber.

Yun Kai panicked a little.

Could it be that some accident happened?

Or was there something fishy about the Star Core he had spared no expense to dismantle the Formation to obtain?

The expression on his face began to look a bit ugly.

And just as it reached noon on the third day.

When Yun Kai couldn't help but want to find out what was going on.

Hum!

The heavy door of the secret chamber was pushed open fiercely.

Yun Xin walked out.

Although his expression was extremely exhausted and he looked like he could barely stand.

But the starlight flowing in his eyes and the familiar aura of Star Power emanating from his whole body still made Yun Kai incredibly excited.

Transcendence Realm, he succeeded!

"Good, very good!"

He couldn't help but laugh heartily.

He wished he could let the whole world know this good news.

He grabbed Yun Xin and asked with concern.

"You've worked hard, Xin'er."

"Go rest first."

Yun Xin shook his head, his expression somewhat confused.

"Father, just now..."

He recounted the mysterious figure that appeared during the Breakthrough process and the Heavenly Dao contract established with it.

Yun Kai frowned.

"You child, why are you so reckless!"

"What if this contract is useless? Wouldn't it be a drag on you?"

Yun Xin looked conflicted.

"But I feel like this additional power is a bit beyond expectations!"

Yun Kai was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Yun Xin asked in confusion, "Father, you have tested my foundation before the Breakthrough many times. It should be equivalent to about 500 points of Star Power."

"Logically speaking, after the Breakthrough, the upper limit of Star Power should normally be 1000 points, and with the 100% boost from the 8-star Star Core, 2000 points would be the limit..."

He scratched his head.

"But I feel that this extra added Star Power seems to be more than 200 points."

Yun Kai was shocked immediately.

"That much?"

He didn't dare to delay and immediately took Yun Xin to his dedicated Cultivating room.

Standing at the entrance was a cylindrical machine over five meters tall.

This was the dedicated machine used to test one's own Star Power upper limit.

"Give it a try!"

Yun Kai looked expectant.

Watching Yun Xin enter the machine.

Hum!

The machine roared and started running instantly.

Several energy sensing points for detection flashed in unison.

And the screen outside the machine also began to display scrolling numbers.

100.

500.

1000.

...

Instantly, it reached over 1000 points.

And the increase in numbers did not stop.

1500.

2000.

2100.

2200...

Yun Kai held his breath instantly, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Finally.

The speed of the scrolling numbers slowed down more and more.

Finally, it stopped at 2398 points.

Just 2 points short, and it would have reached 2400 points!

Yun Kai widened his eyes.

This high?

It was almost 400 points more than a normal Breakthrough!

After Yun Xin came out and looked at the screen impatiently, he was also stunned instantly.

"How could this be..."

Yun Kai couldn't help asking.

"When you established this contract, did you choose the 50% highest tier?"

Yun Xin looked bewildered.

"That can't be!"

"I remember very clearly that I weighed the pros and cons and wanted to choose 20% to give it a try."

"50% requires complete trust in that figure, which counts as fanatical faith, almost requiring me to completely submit my mind to it. I didn't reach that level at all!"

The two looked at each other, both shocked beyond measure.

A 20% additional bonus could actually bring an increase of nearly 400 points to the Star Power upper limit?

And if inferred based on the basic bonus.

Didn't that mean an increase of 40% on top of the original 100% base?

This Heavenly Dao contract, the bonus was actually this terrifying!

And what Yun Xin was thinking was, if he had chosen the 50% tier.

Wouldn't the current total Star Power upper limit have exceeded 3000 points?

It would have been close to the effect of a 9-star Star Core Breakthrough!

Thinking of this.

Yun Xin's expression was extremely painful.

A huge regret welled up in his heart.
