The only thing Yi Tianyun focused on now was frantically absorbing the energy of the sixth-grade Five Elements Core. It felt like he had stumbled upon an invincible treasure. This kind of item already surpassed upper Heavenly Venerable divine treasures in value, possibly even rarer.
A sixth-grade core was already astonishing. But a Five Elements Core? Its effects were on a whole other level.
Yi Tianyun couldn’t help but marvel, what kind of divine being had created the Three Realms? What terrifying cultivation level had they reached? He couldn’t believe it was merely a Heavenly Venerable. It had to be someone far beyond, a realm that transcended even the heavens.
After all, just the fact that they were a Ninth-Grade God Rune Master showed they were already above the Heavenly Venerable stage. But what lay beyond that? He couldn’t even imagine. The only certainty was that such a being could squash a Heavenly Venerable like Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God with a slap, simple as that.
Yi Tianyun figured he might be able to uncover answers at the Fourth-Grade God Territory.
As time passed, two more elemental cores gradually formed within him. Because this was a Five Elements Core, all other elemental energies converged into it, surging into the planets within his body.
There was no real issue with this, it just meant he was absorbing more energy to further enhance the size of his internal planets. If he had started with no planetary cores at all, this would have meant forming all five at once. That kind of breakthrough was truly monumental.
Of course, he hadn’t entered empty-handed, he already had several planetary cores. Without them, he wouldn’t even have been able to break through, much less enter this place.
Years passed. Outside, the Three Realms God Territory developed rapidly. Under Shi Xueyun’s leadership, everything was thriving. Cultivators advanced swiftly, resources were lavished on growth, and the influence of their forces expanded. Spirit herbs were harvested, fierce beasts hunted, and rewards generously distributed.
As for other factions, none came knocking anymore. Those who had sought him already had, those who hadn’t never would. And if anyone did come, Shi Xueyun would handle it, Yi Tianyun had no need to personally intervene.
Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye. Yi Tianyun had spent all that time in seclusion, slowly absorbing and condensing the core’s energy. It was the longest cultivation stretch he’d ever undertaken, but the absorption was painstakingly slow.
The Five Elements Core’s energy was dense to the extreme. Drawing even a sliver of it was like a game of tug-of-war, exhausting and difficult.
The core’s stability made it almost impossible to absorb efficiently. But no matter how hard it was, he persisted. He had time, and this was essentially cultivation anyway.
After fifty years, all five planetary cores had finally formed, orbiting within his body and endlessly radiating elemental power throughout.
But that wasn’t the end.
He still needed to merge those five planets into a single, massive Five Elements Core to complete the breakthrough.
If not, it would be a failure. Simply forming five planets was just the foundation, it wasn’t true success.
“Time to merge them. I must succeed. Failure means… death.”
Yi Tianyun’s eyes blazed with intensity. Merging five planetary cores was an enormous risk. If he failed, his body would be destroyed. But if he succeeded, not only would he complete the mission, he would become the true master of the Mortal World!
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out as the five planets collided, shaking the space around him. The impact shattered them instantly into a cloud of fragments.
Yi Tianyun felt like he’d been hit in the head with a hammer. Ringing filled his ears, he nearly blacked out.
“Stabilize the spirit platform!”
He gritted his teeth, clinging to consciousness. If he lost it now, he was dead for sure. Even if he had backup lives, he didn’t want to experience death. More importantly, this process had to succeed in one go, if he failed now, even resurrection might not let him try again.
Staying alert, he began gathering the countless fragments and the scattered energy around him, pulling them back together.
Little by little, the debris started to reform, slowly coalescing into a massive core.
But the process would take a long time. The bigger issue was the dispersing energy, if he took too long, it would dissipate, and the fusion would fail.
Without enough energy, how could he possibly succeed?
Yi Tianyun was racing against time, doing everything he could to speed up the fusion. But it was still too slow. It was like building a massive palace brick by brick with just one person. The time it would take was unbearable.
“Too slow… far too slow…”
Sweat poured from his forehead. He hadn’t expected the fusion to drag on like this. If things continued at this pace, failure was inevitable. Five planetary cores was too much for such a slow method.
Building a hut might be manageable. But a castle? Not with one builder.
“Can I use Crazy Mode to speed it up?”
Without hesitation, he activated Crazy Mode, and instantly, his energy surged to a terrifying new level.
His speed multiplied by 128 times!
The planetary energy within his body roared to life, circulating at an insane rate.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Meteorite fragments slammed together like thunder, rapidly forming half of the massive new core. And this happened in just a blink of an eye.
Compared to before, the speed was beyond comprehension, 128 times faster!
It exceeded Yi Tianyun’s expectations. He’d only wanted to try it out, but it actually worked. The core’s fusion was now progressing at visible speed.
“At this rate, I’ll be done in just a few days!”
Joy surged in Yi Tianyun’s heart. A huge core glowed brilliantly as it rapidly took shape. With progress this fast, he’d be done in days, no long wait required.
His earlier anxiety vanished completely. The danger of failure was now behind him.
“It’s just a pity that Crazy Mode doesn’t apply to absorbing energy… otherwise, I wouldn’t have spent fifty years on it…”
This was one limitation of Crazy Mode, it couldn’t help speed up energy absorption, only internal processes like fusion.
Even so, the breakthrough was within reach. And once complete, Yi Tianyun would become the true Master of the Mortal World.
