216 Body Runes (2/2)

To Leon's knowledge, the smallest starfield had at least 300 stars, but this one only had 100. Furthermore, at its center wasn't another star realm but a big ball of light that was hundreds of times larger than any other spots of light that represented stars and star realms.

Leon didn't know what it was, but he immediately ruled the possibility of it being a star. No star could possibly be that big. The outer world around it would never be dark with such a large star in existence, but most of all, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed until now. It would have outshined their own sun!

”Since it wasn't a star then what was it? The congregation of energy, a divine realm? Surely not, right?”

”Divine realms were the central region of an entire galaxy, a supercluster. There would be a giant black hole at its center that draws the energy towards it, but this one had no such dark spot.”

Leon's hand subconsciously clenched into a fist. If he couldn't even find out where he was, how would he be able to find his way back to the Divine Realm to take revenge for his father?

Leon made his way over to the center of the room to study the big ball of light. However, by the time he reached the center, he accidentally triggered something surprising.

Runic lines lit up on the ground beneath his feet in the form of a formation circle and the star map retracted and disappeared into the big ball of light. The darkroom became a brightly lit one.

Before Leon could comprehend what was happening, the ball of light shrank in size and shot into his. Information flooded his mind and assaulted it like a headache, throbbing with each wave.

Leon could feel his consciousness slipping, but it was times like these when he had to persevere through it. There was a big difference between receiving an influx of information conscious and receiving unconsciously.

Consciously, he would understand the kind of contents transmitted to him and be easier to recall, while unconsciously, if he did not know what he wanted to recall then he would naturally not be able to recall it.

”Dammit, there really was an inheritance.” Leon gritted his teeth and endured the influx of knowledge. He was not prepared for this at all. Shouldn't there at least be some heads up or warning!?

However, Leon was shaken by the knowledge flowing into his mind. It wasn't just the star map being engraved into his memory, there was Arden's understanding of the runic knowledge, his artificer techniques, but most importantly his life's research, the secret to his survival.

Leon did his best to digest everything quickly. He began to understand how Arden Gilardi survived the disaster. In truth, Arden had never given up on cultivation even though others had told him that he could not cultivate.

Arden possessed a divine body called the [Astral Tyrant Physique]. If he had been born in the Divine Realm and cultivated the [Astral Tyrant Emperor Technique], he would have become an overlord of an era.

It was an overbearing physique that allows one to directly absorb the astral energy of the universe to temper his own body. Pity he was born in a world that didn't practice divine cultivation and had no access to such a divine technique.

Although Arden didn't know all of this, he never gave up. He had managed to forge his own cultivation path with his rich knowledge as an artificer.

He never had the [Astral Tyrant Emperor Technique], but he understood that his body needed astral energy to improve. As such, he developed a method that would allow his body to draw in astral energy quicker.

By engraving runes on his own body, he managed to borrow the power of runes to draw in the energy from the universe and temper his body to terrifying heights.

It was unimaginable what kind of steel resolve was needed to through themselves through such an experience. To use their own body as the runic plate and carve into their flesh.

Through this method, Arden had gone through untold suffering and pain, but he was also able to gain a body that was vastly more powerful than any other wondrous physique known to man.

Leon's eyes flickered. Strictly speaking, this was a body forging method that belongs to the body cultivation system. He had lamented about not having a body forging method, and now one had suddenly fallen into his lap.

Although the method was unconventional, it was still a body forging method nevertheless.

If he could strengthen his own body through the power of runes, it might not be impossible to endure the Celestial Tribulation. But he was a divine practitioner. He should be worrying about Divine Damnation instead.

Celestial Tribulations bless those that overcome it, but Divine Damnation seeks to destroy those that incur it, both body and soul. After all, divine practice was an act that went against the heavens.

After receiving all the influx of information, Leon spent an unknown period of time to digest it all.
