Chapter 915 - The Arrival of the Eternal Star! (2/2)

Next is the Supernova… It’s not as powerful as the other divine powers and is little more than brute force. It’s not as energy-efficient and therefore expends more cultivation. But in the event where there are no other better moves to make, the Supernova… would be a formidable attack with incredible damage if I were to expend all the cultivation that I have!

Then comes the Dark Art. I should avoid using that. As for the Dao Scripture… I should avoid using that as well. Wang Baole thought of what had happened the last time he had recited the Dao Scripture and shuddered faintly.

I just have a few other divine powers and spells, like the Ethereal Dao College’s Cloud Finger as well as the Flash Arc and the Electromagnetic Pulse from the Lightning Domain…

He was lost in memory for a moment. Then, he raised his right hand. A lightning arc appeared under one of his fingernails and began wriggling under his nails. It had started as a Core Formation realm level spell, slowly advanced to the Soul Conduit realm, and finally reached the Spirit Immortal realm. At that juncture, the lightning arc had taken on a different color. It was now a crimson color!

The increase in the lightning arc’s strength and the change in its color were all the result of Wang Baole refining and upgrading the cultivation technique. With his current level of cultivation, upgrading such simple spells barely took a moment and hardly posed a challenge to him.

It seems powerful enough. Wang Baole had a feel of the damage the lightning arc was capable of. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Countless crimson lightning bolts appeared instantly in the waves of heat that rose around him. They gathered and formed a sphere of lightning in his palm.

He could sense the power it held. Should it explode, its blast would extend a hundred feet into the distance. The sphere of lightning would transform into an electromagnetic storm. The damage unleashed might not rival the sea of lightning that the wishing bottle had brought upon him as a consequence of his accidental wish, but it would suffice if he wanted to slay a perfected Spirit Immortal realm cultivator.

“If I can’t kill him in one blow, I’ll get him with the next. If two blows don’t work, I’ll just hit him with ten!” Wang Baole muttered. He waved his hand and sent the sphere of lightning away. Mist appeared over his fingers next. It gathered swiftly and transformed into the shape of a finger. An incredible wave of power that far surpassed that of the electromagnetic storm exuded from the finger. It seemed as if someone had just released a seal that had been placed over the finger, and waves of intense power surged from it!

Wang Baole jerked when he sensed the aura, and doubt and shock flickered in his eyes after he examined the aura carefully.

The Cloud Finger might be a divine power that the Ethereal Dao College is renowned for, but it’s actually not that powerful. It seems to be more powerful than the Supernova when unleashed at my current level of cultivation, though. Why is that so? Wang Baole’s breathing quickened after he sensed the waves of spirit energy released from his Cloud Finger. There was only one way to explain this!

The Ethereal Dao College’s cultivation techniques… aren’t as simple as they appear to be! After a moment of contemplation, Wang Baole decided that he was going to question the patriarch of the Ethereal Dao College in detail when he returned to the Federation. He needed to know if the patriarch had invented these cultivation techniques or if he had recovered them from some ancient ruins.

With that thought in mind, Wang Baole began to try out the various divine powers that he had mastered since he had begun his journey of cultivation. He realized that the Cloud Finger was an exception to the rule. The other divine powers didn’t unleash extraordinary damage. Some were like the Supernova, where he had to expend considerable energy in exchange for a powerful attack.

Simply put, these divine powers weren’t sufficiently refined and hence couldn’t unleash the full power of a Spirit Immortal realm cultivator. For every 10% of cultivation he expended, he would only be able to inflict 12% damage on his enemy. In comparison, he would be able to inflict 18% to 19% damage with the Cloud Finger.

It’s a pity that the divine powers other than the Demonic Eye Art that I got in the Dark Dream have excessively powerful Dark Art auras. I’ll also need to be at the Planet realm before I can attempt to master them. Wang Baole shook his head. His eyes flashed a short moment later.

I still have an intrinsic gift, though. Its effects might be limited elsewhere, but I should be able to optimize such effects in the Graveyard of Stars!

This intrinsic gift is… an ability that I acquired when I got my Stellar Nascent Soul… the ability to amplify my power through surrounding planets!

The bigger the planet, the more powerful I am. Similarly, the closer I am to the planet, the more powerful I get too. In fact, I become stronger with more planets around me! The thought of that was a great boost to Wang Baole’s confidence. He became more assured of his chances in the Graveyard of Stars. As he was about to deliberate further on his plans, alarm flashed across his face suddenly. He snapped his head up and stared into the distant cosmos.

With the aid of the Eye of the Eternal Star, he managed to sense a powerful wave of spirit energy coming from that direction. It dazzled with the brilliance of an Eternal Star, its blinding light flaring up suddenly and casting its brilliance across half of the Divine Eye civilization.

At the border of the Divine Eye civilization and the edge of this sea of light, two figures gradually materialized!

One was a young man with an arrogant look on his face. The other was… an old man dressed in golden robes!

The old man was like the sun. As his form materialized into a distinct shape, he seemed to sense something. The old man glanced at the Eternal Star that Wang Baole was on.

White noise exploded in Wang Baole’s mind when the old man’s eyes fell upon him. The Eternal Star that he was on erupted instantly, erecting a successful defense against the old man’s powerful gaze. It didn’t stop Wang Baole from shuddering at the unexpected look. His cultivation became unstable.

An Eternal Star realm cultivator!
