From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

To think that Zheng Qian would meet such a fate in the end.

Of course, they felt no sympathy for his fate, only a sense of lament.

”Mom, Dad, these are some Spirit Fruits I got in the Relic Space. If you eat them, it will greatly improve your physical condition...”

After saying this, Li Yang took the Spirit Fruits out of his backpack.

He had eight Three-Striped Golden Fruits in his backpack. Even an ordinary person’s body would be greatly enhanced by eating one of these fruits!

What Li Yang possessed now was enough to easily raise them to the Peak of Heaven-level!

”I’ll be staying home for the next few days,” Li Yang said with a smile.

He planned to use the Spirit Fruits to raise both of his parents to King Level!

Once they reached that level, very few people on Earth could pose a threat to his parents.

”Yangyang, you need these Spirit Fruits...”

”That’s right, Yangyang. Your mother and I aren’t Cultivators...”

Seeing Li Yang take out the Spirit Fruits, Li Guohai and Zhao Rou quickly protested, certain the fruits must be useful to him.

”Mom, Dad, I’m already at the Peak of King Level. Spirit Fruits like these don’t have any effect on me anymore,” Li Yang said with a smile.

Only after hearing Li Yang say this did Li Guohai and Zhao Rou nod.

They were willing to use anything their son didn’t need, but they would absolutely never take something he required.

”You can eat the Spirit Fruit directly. Mom, Dad, take a small bite first to get used to the Spiritual Power...”

Next, Li Yang began guiding his parents on how to absorb the power of the Three-Striped Golden Fruit.

The Spiritual Power in this type of fruit was very gentle and could be absorbed quickly by the body.

’At this rate, Mom and Dad should reach the Peak of Heaven-level in a little over a week,’ Li Yang thought to himself. ’Then they can consume the Purple Gold Fruit!’

...

For the next few days, Li Yang stayed home, monitoring his parents’ progress as their power increased.

In his room, Li Yang held a round sphere in his right hand, studying it in silence.

He hadn’t known what it was before, but now Li Yang understood that the sphere contained a trace of the Thunder Law.

If he could comprehend it, he would be able to break through to the Law Realm. Li Yang had been studying it nonstop for the past few days.

He hadn’t noticed anything unusual before, but now, Li Yang could actually feel a wondrous fluctuation on its surface.

It was as if a tiny serpent of lightning slithered across its surface. The sensation was incredibly wondrous, seeming to hold countless secrets.

”Li Yang, how does it feel?” Soul Ink asked as it floated out of the Soul Crystal and looked at him.

Li Yang described what he was sensing.

Upon hearing this, Soul Ink nodded and said, ”Your Talent for the Thunder Law is quite strong. Even without the Thunder Star Beast avatar, you could eventually break through to the Law Realm on your own.”

The Law Realm was difficult to reach, but there were still many who managed to comprehend a Law.

Li Yang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a look of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

’Has the Thunder Star Beast avatar hatched?’

...

Deep on the seabed, a single white tree stood amidst other marine flora, completely unremarkable.

As Li Yang’s own power reached the Peak of King Level, his World Tree avatar’s strength had also steadily increased over a short period. Now, it too had reached the Peak of King Level!

At that moment, a rift appeared on one of the World Tree’s branches, and a palm-sized creature swam out.

The creature had a strange appearance. Its body was purple and rock-like, with four sharp claws and a tail nearly as long as its entire frame.

Lightning-like runes seemed to cover every inch of its body. Overall, the creature looked vastly different from any life-form on Earth.

’The Thunder Star Beast avatar!’

Li Yang’s face was filled with joy.

After more than thirty days, the Thunder Star Beast avatar had finally hatched.

At this moment, he could feel it completely: this Thunder Star Beast avatar was him.

’Does the Thunder Star Beast avatar need to absorb Spiritual Power?’

Li Yang focused his senses for a moment and felt an intense ”hunger” coming from the Thunder Star Beast avatar.

This hunger wasn’t for food, however, but an urge to ”grow”!

’Absorb!’

Li Yang was not unfamiliar with this, as Soul Ink had previously explained some things about the Thunder Star Beast avatar.

With that thought, the small Thunder Star Beast avatar settled at the base of the World Tree and began to absorb Spiritual Power.

As it began to absorb, its entire body seemed to transform into a black hole. From all around, torrents of Spiritual Power rushed in, continuously pouring into it!

And with the constant influx of Spiritual Power, the Thunder Star Beast avatar’s strength began to rise.

Yellow Level... Profound Level... Earth-Level... Celestial Level...

In just over ten minutes, its strength shot straight to the Peak of Heaven-level!

Then, the aura emanating from its body changed abruptly! It had broken through to King Level!

But even after reaching this realm, the Thunder Star Beast avatar continued to absorb Spiritual Power, its strength still rising at an astonishing rate!

As its strength increased, the Thunder Star Beast avatar’s body grew as well!

Absorbing power without limit, more than three hours passed in the blink of an eye!

By now, the Thunder Star Beast avatar had grown from being palm-sized to over three meters long!

And the aura radiating from its body had also reached its maximum!

’Peak of King Level!’

Sensing the power of his Thunder Star Beast avatar, Li Yang’s face was filled with joy.

”An avatar birthed by the World Tree can quickly reach the same realm as the main body. For a high-level life-form like the Thunder Star Beast, the speed at which it absorbs Spiritual Power is even more astonishing.”

Soul Ink remarked calmly from the side.

”Now, try to comprehend the Thunder Law within this sphere.”

”Okay.”

Li Yang nodded, his gaze returning to the sphere in his hand as he attempted to comprehend the wondrous fluctuations on its surface.

At this moment, the Thunder Star Beast’s soul was his soul; the two were completely interconnected. As he sensed the sphere’s fluctuations, it was as if his Thunder Star Beast avatar was sensing them too.

Now, as he looked at the same sphere, Li Yang felt the fluctuations on it become many times clearer.

The feeling was like struggling with a difficult problem you don’t understand, only to have the solution suddenly click into place in an instant.

As he watched, faint arcs of lightning began to flicker across his body.

Ten minutes later...

BOOM!

The faint lightning flickering across his body suddenly erupted with terrifying power, far stronger than the previous fluctuations.

Sensing this power, a thought struck Li Yang. ’Is this the Thunder Law?’

He could now clearly feel a trace of lightning fluctuations within the void. When he channeled even a bit of it into an attack, its power instantly skyrocketed!

In his perception, the Thunder Law was an incomparably violent energy that permeated the heavens and the earth, containing an endless source and seeming to be everywhere at once.

And right now, he had only touched a minuscule fraction of it.

If he could grasp all of it, he estimated his power would be enough to destroy heaven and earth!
