Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 162 5,000 Strands of Astral Power

The Astra Devourer mnemonic was very simple, but the principle was indeed imaginative.

Why?

The principle of Astra Devourer was a rare celestial phenomenon in the cosmos called black holes.

A black hole devoured everything. Even light was devoured. Naturally, star power was also devoured. According to this principle, the Astra Devourer Technique modeled the human body as a black hole, and specialized in devouring star power.

Of course, this was wishful thinking, but after countless experiments by that Meta-divine expert, he actually succeeded. However, after succeeding, he realized that the physique required was just too strong. It was estimated that even as a Meta-divinity expert, he could barely cultivate it.

Let alone Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

This kind of imagination was indeed very impressive. Lin Feng nodded repeatedly, full of admiration.

However, this black hole seemed a little familiar. Lin Feng quickly thought of the Void Bubble. The “collapse” of the void bubble simulated a kind of celestial phenomenon. If the star collapsed, a black hole would eventually form.

It seemed that both Astral Power cultivation techniques and Astral martial arts were actually related to certain celestial phenomena in the cosmos. This was very normal. After all, Astral Power was power from the stars in the cosmos. If one wanted to make good use of Astral Power, they naturally had to observe the celestial phenomena in the cosmos.

Moreover, those cosmic celestial bodies contained terrifying energy. By simulating them, one might be able to obtain unexpected gains.

No matter what the principle of the Astra Devourer Technique was, what Lin Feng valued was its actual effect.

Hence, without any hesitation, Lin Feng began to practice the Astra Devourer Technique.

As he had already cultivated the Astral Swirl Technique, Lin Feng was practiced when cultivating the Astra Devourer Technique. Even though the principles were somewhat different, the cultivation process was similar.

As Lin Feng followed the steps in the mnemonic, his entire body shook slightly. Then, he felt a large amount of star power pour down from the starry sky.

Boom.

It was as if he had jumped into water all of a sudden. Lin Feng almost suffocated. A huge amount of Astral Power almost filled the entire secret chamber. Lin Feng tried to take deep breaths, but it was useless. Every breath he took still contained massive star power.

This was especially so since he practiced the Astra Devourer Technique. No matter how much star power came, he would devour them all. This feeling was unprecedented. Lin Feng had never experienced it before.

A large amount of star power entered his body and transformed into Astral Power frantically. Even with Lin Feng’s current physique, he felt like a balloon that could explode at any moment.

One strand, two strands, ten strands, twenty strands…

The speed at which Astral Power condensed in Lin Feng’s body was even more incredible. With almost every blink of an eye, a large amount of Astral Power would appear in Lin Feng’s body. This speed of conversion was simply unimaginable.

“How can it be so fast?”

Even Lin Feng was a little stunned. However, as he felt as if his body was about to explode from overexertion, he gained some understanding as well. This Astra Devourer Technique actually claimed that the stronger one’s physique was, the faster the speed of condensing Astral Power, and there was almost no upper limit to it.

How strong was Lin Feng’s physique? Even Lin Feng himself probably did not know, because there was no suitable standard for measurement at all. Compared to Lin Feng’s physique, other martial artists were simply too inferior.

Therefore, with Lin Feng’s current “abnormal” physique, even the Meta-divine expert who created this Astral cultivation technique back then could not estimate how fast he could condense Astral Power by practicing the Astra Devourer Technique.

Fifty strands, sixty strands, seventy strands…

As time passed, the star power gathered around Lin Feng became more and more terrifying, and the speed at which the Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body condensed kept increasing

“No, I can’t hold out anymore. I can only maintain condensing about 120 strands of Astral Power a day at most, and that also incurs damage to my body. Therefore, condensing 100 strands of Astral Power is the best outcome every day.”

Lin Feng had actually been testing the limits of what his body could withstand as well. After an entire day had passed, Lin Feng had condensed 120 strands. However, his body was in extreme discomfort. It was damaged in multiple places by the star power.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had the undying characteristic and could recover very quickly. Otherwise, just this minor injury would require him to recuperate for half a month, or even longer.

Lin Feng was also very satisfied with the results of the test. About 100 strands a day would be best. This speed was simply astonishing. No one would believe it even if they were told.

After all, even for the Astral Swirl cultivation technique, which condensed Astral Power at a relatively fast speed, could only condense about 20 strands of Astral Power per day. Compared to the Astra Devourer Technique, its efficiency was countless times lower. The difference was just too great.

This 100 merit points was very worth it. Even if the price was several times more expensive, Lin Feng would still think it was worth it!

Since the speed of condensing the Astra Devourer Technique was so fast, Lin Feng instructed the guards not to disturb him unless necessary. He handed the matters of the South Mountain Base over to Lu Wei to manage, while he entered seclusion to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, 28 days had passed. In almost a month, the Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body had actually reached 5,400 strands!

How daunting was this Astral Power?

According to an increment of ten times, the amount of Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body would clearly far exceed his imagination. It should be 5,230 strands of Astral Power. How could it reach 5,400 strands?

Moreover, the Astral Power had yet to reach its limit. Finally, after a period of time, only when the Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body reached 5,430 strands did his body feel saturated. No matter how the Astral Power burrowed into his body, and no matter how he circulated the Astra Devourer Technique, Lin Feng could no longer condense a single strand of Astral Power.

5,430 strands of Astral Power. It must be because his body had been constantly undergoing metamorphosis, and his various attributes were improving, that he had continuously broken his limit.

Lin Feng clenched his hands. His strength must have exceeded 380 tons now! It was even stronger than the original 350 tons. His body must be undergoing continuous metamorphosis.

“Under normal circumstances, my body’s metamorphosis should be about to end.”

Lin Feng had a feeling that the speed of his body’s metamorphosis was gradually slowing down as well. Once the metamorphosis of his body was over, it would be very difficult to improve his physique again.

SC

With 5,430 strands of Astral Power, if he used the Void Bubble, he could condense 13 Astral Bubbles in an instant. These 13 beautiful Astral Bubbles could instantly slay 13 demons!

Only at this moment did Lin Feng truly feel powerful!

He was really very powerful now. He was no longer afraid of being surrounded by enemies. Once he utilized the Void Bubble, there was almost no power that could contend against it, no matter how many enemies there were.

However, what if he encountered an especially powerful demon or a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist?

Lin Feng remembered that the Void Bubble could continuously use Astral Power to condense the Astral Bubble. The more Astral Power condensed, the more powerful the Void Bubble would be. Lin Feng had never tested the limit of the Void Bubble’s power. This was a good opportunity to give it a try.

So, with a thought from Lin Feng, he mobilized Astral Power and quickly began to condense the Astral Bubble.

Buzz.

The Astral Bubble appeared in front of Lin Feng. It was still magnificent, but this was only condensed from 400 strands of Astral Power. Lin Feng wanted to test its limit now. How could 400 strands of Astral Power be enough?

Hence, he began to infuse more Astral Power into the Astral Bubble.

Five hundred strands, one thousand strands, two thousand strands, three thousand strands…

As Astral Power was infused into it continuously, the Astral Power Bubble in front of Lin Feng became even more beautiful, emitting a dream-like aura. Even Lin Feng felt as if he would be attracted by the dream-like beauty of the Astral Bubble and become intoxicated by it.
