Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Two Phases!

Within less than an hour, Shi Hao had reached the end of the first realm, both in terms of strength and Dharma appearance, achieving Perfection.

He could now advance to the second realm.

This was simple; all he needed to do was visualize another Dharma appearance.

"Yue Ying!" Shi Hao called out to the palace in the Soul Sea.

"I know, I know, seriously annoying. Can’t one rest in peace? How can there be a master like you?" Yue Ying was very impatient, but in the next instant, she had taken Shi Hao into the midst of the starry sky.

"What do you want to visualize?" she asked.

Shi Hao’s initial plan was to visualize the moon as his second Dharma appearance, but he had come to understand that the moon was actually a subsidiary existence of Yunding Star and looked large only because it was very close.

Therefore, it could only be used to perfect his inner world, but when it came to power, it was not the strongest.

"I want to... observe the Star River!" he said.

Yue Ying considered for a moment and said, "I suggest you consider a Dwarf Star first."

"Eh? What star?" Shi Hao was surprised; the name Dwarf Star sounded quite lame.

You, the Artifact Spirit, really do not wish me well day by day.

Yue Ying explained, "At the end of its life, the Sun could become a Dwarf Star, a state of condensation, extremely dense, with every metal being insignificant compared to it."

"If you truly want to evolve your world, understanding the transformation of celestial bodies is compulsory—it’s a kind of life evolution."

Shi Hao thought for a while and nodded, "Okay!"

Whoosh, without further ado, Yue Ying transported Shi Hao instantly through the endless expanse of the starry sky and found a plain-looking white celestial body the size of the moon.

"In the Universe, there are countless Suns, but each Sun is unique," Yue Ying said. "Smaller Suns will explode at the end of their lifecycle, turning into nothingness."

"The medium ones collapse into Dwarf Stars—no matter how squat and small, their density is infinitely high; even the Sky Ladder couldn’t blast a pit on it."

Listening to her explanation, Shi Hao couldn’t help but grow curious, saying, "What about large Suns?"

"They might form Black Holes," Yue Ying continued. "When a Dwarf Star compresses itself to a certain extent, no material will exist, creating a Black Hole that can absorb everything."

"A Dwarf Star possesses terrifying absorptive power, perhaps even the Sky Ladder might not escape, but at least, the soul remains unaffected."

"But if it were a Black Hole, that would be different, your soul would be absorbed as well, and you could never break free."

Shi Hao immediately frowned and said, "Then how shall I observe a Black Hole to form the Black Hole Physiognomy?"

"Humph, others can’t, but who am I?" Yue Ying arrogantly said, "Is there anything impossible in front of me?"

Shi Hao chuckled, opting not to provoke this character.

After all, all he needed was to continue forming Dharma appearances.

Yue Ying dropped Shi Hao down; now, Shi Hao was a soul, with no physical body, so even though the Dwarf Star possessed terrifying absorptive power, it had no effect on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao traveled into the interior of the Dwarf Star, unable to help but sigh in admiration.

Within the Sun, there were countless rules, all scattered and of the Fire System, but once here, the rules were pressed tightly together and transformed into the Earth System.

You see, how enormous the Sun is, and becoming a Dwarf Star in the Sun was already considered large, yet now it has shrunk to the size of the moon. Could the interior not be dense?

Now, with the effect of Jade Marrow still at work, Shi Hao’s thoughts were astonishingly lucid. He realized that rules are actually not divided by attributes. Essentially, they are a form of order, a manifestation of matter and energy, and they can even transform into one another.

"Hm!" His whole body shuddered, showing signs of splitting.

"You madman!" Yue Ying appeared, reached out her hand towards Shi Hao and forced him to solidify, "What realm are you at that you dare to wildly speculate about the nature of the world? Are you so tired of living?"

Shi Hao grinned. No wonder even the Great Sacrificial Heaven wanted to obtain the Spirit Stone Marrow; this thing was too helpful for enlightenment.

Well, maybe a bit too much.

Shi Hao dared not continue to ponder deeply on this point. He was too weak now, so weak that he didn’t even qualify to speculate. Otherwise, it would only lead to his soul disintegrating.

He refocused on the rules of the Dwarf Star. With the help of Jade Marrow, his absorption rate of these rules significantly increased since he didn’t need to understand them, just mimic them.

Understanding the rules is at least something that started in the Founding King Court, he was not in a rush now.

Previously, in the Purple Green Secret Realm, he had laid a solid foundation. Therefore, he was now proceeding smoothly and rapidly progressing.

Yue Ying occasionally brought him back to his physical body, partly to prevent his soul from separating, causing his physical body to wither and soul to decay, and partly to let him replenish some Jade Marrow. Even so, four months had passed by, and Shi Hao finally cultivated his second Dharma appearance.

It seemed fast, but actually, observing the Sun only took seven days, and this? It amounted to at least two months in total, and that included the aid of Jade Marrow.

Humm, with a thought from Shi Hao, the second Dharma appearance emerged from his body. It was an exceedingly plain stone sphere. From the outside, it looked utterly nondescript, which contrasted sharply with the dazzling glow of the Sun Dharma Appearance.

"But—" Shi Hao stepped out of the Immortal Abode, gently tapped with the Stone Sphere Dharma Appearance, and anything it touched shattered instantly, unable to withstand a single blow.

Not to mention, the weight was terrifying.

Yet bizarrely, this was Shi Hao’s Dharma appearance, which could easily reach unbelievable speeds. Thus, the force of its impact was tremendous.

"I have only initially cultivated this Dharma appearance. Once it’s further perfected and my realm increases, the power of this Dharma appearance will become even more terrifying."

How strong could it be?

Shi Hao could not imagine. At the very least, within his same realm, he would be overwhelmingly powerful, and even a realm higher, he was not without the qualifications to compete.

"Let’s go check out the Chen Family and see what the situation is now," Shi Hao set out towards Sulphur Flame City.

Upon arriving in the city, he discovered a bounty.

It was issued by the Chen Family and targeted him.

The Chen Family dared issue a bounty?

In the bounty, the Chen Family "clearly" stated the whole sequence of events.

Originally, the Chen Family had discovered a Spirit Stone Vein. They invited someone from the Formation Masters Association to help create a Breath Concealment Formation. Unexpectedly, Shi Hao found the Spirit Stone Marrow, was overcome by greed, attacked and killed all the people of the Formation Masters Association, and also slew over a hundred members of the Chen Family.

Now, the Chen Family was willing to give up the Spirit Stone Mine, asking all Martial Artists from Western Rock Continent to capture Shi Hao, dead or alive.
