183: Chapter 183 Breakthrough to the Star-Level, Arrival at the Energy Star!

Time passed in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, two days had already gone by.

The Dark Star had also been racing through the boundless cosmos for a full two days. From the cockpit, one could already see a red dot of light far ahead in the distance.

That was precisely the Energy Star they were heading to on this journey!

Inside the cultivation chamber.

Li Fan was still cultivating.

And in just two days' time,

Li Fan's progress was remarkably evident.

At this moment, Li Fan sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation chamber. With each inhalation and exhalation, one could faintly hear a trace of thunder. After the intense tempering of a hundredfold cosmic primordial energy, his physical body had become even more formidable.

"This Star-Treading Level doesn't seem as simple as I imagined."

Li Fan opened his eyes and sighed softly.

He had originally thought that under such conditions, he could step into the Star-Treading Level in a single day.

But two days had already passed, and he still hadn't successfully broken through.

Fortunately, however, he was already faintly touching the threshold of that realm.

Given a bit more time, he was confident he could break through in one go.

"Skin Bear, how much longer until we reach the Energy Star?"

At this moment, Li Fan called Skin Bear out.

Skin Bear quickly provided an answer to Li Fan's question: "Estimated time of arrival: ten more hours."

Li Fan nodded. "Notify me when there's half an hour left."

After speaking,

Li Fan resumed his cultivation.

Ten hours wasn't long, but it shouldn't be wasted either. Perhaps during this time, he would have a chance to break through to the Star-Treading Level.

Unconsciously,

nine hours passed.

Inside the cultivation chamber,

accompanied by Li Fan's hearty shout of relief,

the aura emanating from Li Fan's body began to surge abruptly. Within a few breaths, it skyrocketed several times over. Before long, he had officially stepped into the Star-Treading Level!

"Is this the Star-Treading Level?"

Sensing the surging, vast energy within his body, Li Fan felt an incredibly marvelous sensation.

After stepping into the Star-Treading Level, it felt as if he had broken free from a suffocating space.

Compared to the previous Apprentice Level, it was a qualitative change.

Immediately after, Li Fan opened his attribute panel once more.

"Name: Li Fan

Level: Star-Treading Level, First Tier (1.8%)

Strength: 580.9 (Star)

Defense: 538.5 (Star)

Spirit: 549.8 (Star)"

Compared to before, the values had surged once again.

With his current stats, he could hold his own even against an average Star-Treading Level Third Tier practitioner, or even a top-tier Star-Treading Level Third Tier!

If Li Fan continued training for a while longer, his combat power could become even more terrifying!

Just as Li Fan was sensing his current strength, Skin Bear's voice sounded.

That's right.

Only half an hour remained until they reached the nearest Energy Star.

Li Fan left the cultivation chamber and arrived at the cockpit.

The first thing he noticed was the massive red planet not far away.

"Is this the Energy Star?"

Li Fan's eyes revealed curiosity.

This was his first time seeing an Energy Star.

At first glance, the planet didn't look too different from Earth; it was just a different color. Of course, its volume was much larger than Earth's, almost comparable to the sun.

Immediately after,

under Li Fan's control, the Dark Star increased its speed and headed towards this planet.

Soon,

the Dark Star passed through the stratosphere of the Energy Star.

At a glance, one could see dozens of colossal, pillar-like structures towering on the planet's surface. On these structures were the emblems of the Silver Dragon Federation, signifying they were under its jurisdiction.

In front of each structure, dense clusters of spaceships were queuing up, waiting their turn.

Obviously,

Li Fan wasn't the only one needing to replenish energy.

"This queue looks like it might be a bit long."

Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling a headache coming on.

At this queuing speed,

it would probably take at least ten days to half a month before it was his turn.

However, thinking about the queue, he also had a clever method.

That was to have Jia Yan keep an eye on things while he continued cultivating.

If Jia Yan made any suspicious moves, he could just have Skin Bear notify him. Jia Yan couldn't cause any real trouble.

And so,

the next second,

Jia Yan appeared before him.

The moment Jia Yan saw Li Fan, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The aura emanating from Li Fan before him had actually reached the Star-Treading Level?

He remembered that just two days ago, Li Fan's aura was about the same as his. How had he broken through to the Star-Treading Level in one go now?

But upon careful thought, considering Li Fan's backing, it seemed reasonable.

For a young master like Li Fan, born into a major power, experiencing several rapid surges in strength was completely normal.

The methods of major powers were simply beyond the imagination of someone like him.

"Congratulations, Brother Fan, on successfully breaking through to the Star-Treading Level!" Jia Yan immediately began to flatter.

As for Jia Yan's flattery, Li Fan wasn't impressed.

"I..."

"Brother Fan, no need to speak, I understand! A trivial matter like replenishing energy, leave it to me!"

Before Li Fan could even finish his sentence,

he was cut off by Jia Yan's smiling interruption.

Clearly, Jia Yan's skill at ingratiation was higher than Li Fan had imagined.

And since Jia Yan had already proactively taken on this task, there wasn't much else for Li Fan to say.

After the Dark Star got in line, he would simply continue his closed-door cultivation.

As the Dark Star slowly approached the queue,

it immediately caused exclamations of shock from people on the various other spaceships.

"Whoa! Look over there!"

"My god! Am I seeing things?"

"Hiss! Is that... an r-class spaceship?"

"An r-class spaceship! A vessel of that level actually appeared in a place like this? I've only ever seen such existences on the virtual network!"

"Which immortal existence is this, or is it a spaceship belonging to some major power?"

"Quick, take a photo, take a photo! That's an r-class spaceship! You might not get another chance like this!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of an r-class spaceship. Just its appearance alone is utterly captivating."

...

That's right.

These people's reactions were similar to Jia Yan's—all utterly astonished.

For people like them, an r-class spaceship was something they could never hope to touch in their entire lives.

For it to appear before their eyes now was truly unbelievable.

And at this moment,

not only had these people noticed the Dark Star,

but even the person in charge of this Energy Star station had noticed it immediately.

"A VIP has arrived."

"Everyone, come out and receive the guest!"

Watching the Dark Star approach, the person in charge's eyes gleamed with avarice as he urgently notified all members of the station.
