Suddenly, the Mysterious Small Tower in Bai Ye's sea of consciousness began to tremble slightly, and another stream of information was transmitted.
"What is this?"
"The follow-up cultivation technique of the Eternal Heaven Skill! The Laws Chapter? It even includes some cultivation and combat secret techniques."
After sorting through the information in his mind, Bai Ye discovered it was exactly what he needed at the moment. He didn't quite understand this Laws Chapter yet; it seemed to involve deciphering some laws of heaven and earth? But with a new cultivation technique, Bai Ye was in a good mood. These cultivation techniques and secret methods were much more powerful than those from the Palace of War Gods, allowing his cultivation speed to increase significantly!
Combined with the information he had previously learned from the Palace of War Gods, he knew that the War God-grade was divided into four small stages: early, middle, late, and peak. The power gap between each small stage reached several times. Currently, there were only three people in the entire world standing at the peak of the War God realm: two from Huaguo and one from the United States.
Bai Ye looked at the Earth Spirit Crystal in his hand and decided to continue cultivating.
He sat cross-legged again, absorbing the energy of the Earth Spirit Crystal. Two-thirds of the Earth Spirit Crystal remained, containing plenty of energy.
"This is truly a good thing."
Sensing it slightly, Bai Ye found that the Earth Spirit Crystal could still rapidly enhance his strength, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.
Boom boom!
Filled with joy, Bai Ye began to circulate a cultivation technique with all his might.
Abundant energy was continuously drawn into his body. Even though Bai Ye had reached the early stage of the War God-grade, he could feel his physical body slowly growing stronger, an improvement he could clearly sense!
Although the magnitude of progress was not enormous, it was steadily increasing.
It must be known that breakthroughs at the War God level require a vast amount of Origin Energy; otherwise, most War Gods wouldn't be stuck in the early stages.
The Origin Energy absorbed just from the early to middle stage is three to four times more than that absorbed by a cultivator from Yellow-grade to Heaven-grade peak. One can imagine how difficult small breakthroughs at the War God-grade are!
Even with Bai Ye's previous rapid breakthrough speed, without the aid of rare heavenly treasures, it would take two to three months to potentially advance from the early War God stage to the middle War God stage.
But now, with the Earth Spirit Crystal providing Origin Energy, these were no longer problems!
Streams of Origin Energy entered his body, and Bai Ye's strength steadily increased.
Time continued to flow, and the Earth Spirit Crystal in his hand was visibly shrinking.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed, and the sky had already turned to night.
It also proved that although the Earth Spirit Crystal was precious and could aid in breakthroughs, it was also difficult to refine. If it were other heavenly treasures, Bai Ye wouldn't have spent so much time refining them.
Unlike ordinary Spiritual fruits and herbs, even if commoners couldn't fully refine them, they would still produce some effect without any negative consequences.
Earth Spirit Crystals, however, are impossible for ordinary people to refine and could very likely cause them to explode and die.
Continuously absorbing and refining, the fluctuations in Bai Ye's aura grew stronger and stronger: peak early War God, middle War God...
When the Earth Spirit Crystal in Bai Ye's hand completely vanished, the aura fluctuations on his body also reached an extreme peak, ultimately reaching the late stage of War God.
"Late stage War God."
Bai Ye stood up, felt his own strength, and a smile appeared on his lips. After completely absorbing and refining the Earth Spirit Crystal, his strength had surged from the early War God stage to the late War God stage, a significant leap.
At the late War God stage, excluding the three peak War Gods, there are no more than five individuals globally. This means Bai Ye's strength has improved from the top 20 to the top 10. Of course, this is only a comparison of cultivation realms; true combat prowess can only be determined through actual battles.
He took out his phone from his Spatial Ring and checked the time.
"It's getting late, I should head back."
Buzz buzz...
A strange fluctuation began to emanate from Bai Ye's body, and his form actually began to levitate. In an instant, he was a hundred meters in the air.
"Levitation flight?"
Bai Ye felt this seemingly instinctual ability to fly, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
This ability, which he once envied, was now something he could do himself not long after.
Bai Ye sensed the situation of this world and found that he seemed to have a special connection with the void of this world. It was through this connection that he could effortlessly levitate and fly, as if it were an innate instinct.
Next, Bai Ye began to test these abilities. He discovered that his current speed could easily break the sound barrier, reaching several times the speed of sound, allowing him to travel thousands of meters in an instant.
Such speed is sufficient to render most firearms on Blue Star ineffective against War God realm experts, which might be one of the reasons why War God experts possess such immense deterrence.
Following that, Bai Ye began to test his sword techniques.
A battle sword appeared in his hand. As Bai Ye swung his sword, streams of visible sword energy, mixed with blue flames, shot out, creating hundred-meter-high waves on the sea surface.
Externalized attacks, energy like solidified matter! This is a characteristic of War God realm experts manipulating a trace of energy from heaven and earth, and it is also one of the most powerful attack methods for War God realm experts.
"Splash... crack..."
As Bai Ye unleashed his final full-power strike, two loud noises echoed through the heavens and earth. The fiery blade light swept across, landing on the sea surface, as if parting the sea into a center part. Even the small island Bai Ye had been on was split in half by the single strike.
Fortunately, there were no ships or personnel in this sea area, otherwise, it might have caused panic.
This power was countless times greater than before his breakthrough.
"Haha, this is a War God realm expert, truly worthy of being at the pinnacle of Earth's power. I have finally reached it."
Continuously testing the various abilities he had newly acquired, and witnessing their terrifying power, his strength now tens of times greater than before, even Bai Ye's composure couldn't stop him from laughing heartily.
He hadn't expected that a routine trip to the seabed would lead to such a massive breakthrough, surpassing a major realm and two minor realms, resulting in a leap in his strength. Currently, his strength could rank among the top ten, or even the top five globally, a starkly different improvement compared to before, a difference as vast as the heavens and the earth.
Moreover, upon breaking through to the War God realm, the transformation in his life level allowed him to master various extraordinary abilities.
Levitation flight! Mastery of flame! Externalized attacks, splitting the sea with a single strike! These miraculous abilities would have been considered divine in ancient times.
...
Whoosh!
Calming his joyous emotions, Bai Ye rapidly flew towards the direction of Cloud Top Villa.
