Lin Feng and Xiao Qing communicated, and he finally understood the situation.
It turned out that his actual combat power was too high, far surpassing even the Transcendence realm and Dominator realm by many levels.
Merely absorbing the star core was enough to elevate him to the peak of the Transcendence realm directly after reaching it.
Moreover, he would bypass the growth stage and directly break through to level eleven and twelve.
He would be merely a paper's distance from the Immortal realm.
Not only that, but because Xiao Qing had merged with a large amount of immortal divinity, it already contained the power of countless Immortal realm divine essences.
If Lin Feng wished, he would not only easily reach the peak of level twelve Transcendence realm, but also continue to advance from the initial stage of the Immortal realm to level thirteen.
He would even, like in the Transcendence realm, bypass the threshold of level fourteen and charge directly towards the Dominator realm.
If he were to let Xiao Qing merge with this Dominator imprint, Xiao Qing would directly possess all the effects of this Dominator imprint. Lin Feng would then directly ascend to the Dominator realm.
Although doing so would significantly increase his combat power, it was not the outcome Lin Feng desired.
On one hand, this Dominator imprint with its average potential did not catch Lin Feng's eye. If he truly ascended, the increase in combat power would not be significant.
On the other hand, after consecutively advancing several levels, if he were to face a Dominator realm expert, even if he could win and even kill them, the combat power bonus would be greatly reduced. It was clearly not worth it.
Since he had made up his mind, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He summoned Xiao Qing's physical form.
Compared to other star cores, which could be held in one's palm as a miniature planet, Xiao Qing was a planetary projection that could engulf a vast region of the galaxy. Just its appearance was enough to highlight its might.
Lin Feng took a deep breath. "Xiao Qing, help me transcend!"
The gigantic planetary projection instantly began to shrink, converging towards Lin Feng. Countless spiritual lights rushed into Lin Feng's body, making his already handsome and extraordinary face appear even more ethereal, like an immortal.
Innumerable energies surged within Lin Feng's body, feeling warm and comforting.
In reality, it was very difficult for ordinary individuals to advance from the peak combat power of a planet, which was the Invincible Heavenly Dao level, to the Transcendence realm. Star cores, though seemingly small, contained considerable energy. Furthermore, the existence of Heavenly Dao will would affect the ascending individual. If one possessed sufficient power but had an underdeveloped mental state, they would be unable to suppress the resistance of the Heavenly Dao will and fail their ascension. Only cultivators whose strength surpassed that of normal level ten experts would find it easier to ascend. Upon reaching the Transcendence realm, they would also adapt more quickly.
But how could Lin Feng be an ordinary person? Even the members of the War God squad, before ascending to the Transcendence realm, had actual combat power far exceeding ordinary Transcendence realm experts, making the absorption of star cores incredibly easy. Not to mention Lin Feng's current combat power, which was already beyond any known realm. Xiao Qing, as the world's will, was completely obedient to him, almost like a part of his own body.
Therefore, in an instant, Lin Feng absorbed all the terrifying energy contained within Xiao Qing. The planetary projection, shrinking from large to small, vanished before Lin Feng.
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surge of energy within his body. This was not so much an advancement to the Transcendence realm as it was a sense of release. Although Xiao Qing was no longer present, he truly felt that as long as he willed it, all of Xiao Qing's previous functions remained.
"Show panel."
Indeed, as his thoughts moved, a panel, visible only to him, quickly appeared. Moreover, it was even clearer.
[Lord of Eternity] (Bound, unchangeable)
Cosmic Standard Combat Power (Immortal Energy Standard): 10 Trillion (+100 Trillion)
Base Attributes: Not included in settlement (Final Combat Power Bonus 1000%, [Judgment], [Divine])
Energy Attributes: 150,000,000 (Calculated based on standard Immortal realm energy standards) (Current usable percentage: 20%)
After reading just a few lines, Lin Feng realized the panel had changed considerably. He immediately became interested. The combat power was now calculated based on Immortal realm standards. This meant that the energy Lin Feng absorbed alone was equivalent to 110 trillion initial Immortal realm cultivators. This figure was too astounding, so Lin Feng chose to ignore it. After all, the Immortal realm primarily relied on the bonus from immortal divinity. Through countless battles previously, Xiao Qing had already collected all the relevant data.
As a thought arose, he saw the specific combat power for each level. For the initial stage of the Immortal realm, the Immortal Divine Shield and Immortal Barrier were still growing, resulting in significant fluctuations. Lin Feng began by looking at level thirteen, which was half a level higher.
[Immortal Realm Level Thirteen Combat Power Details]
[Based on the initial Immortal realm as the standard unit, 1 unit equals one hundred million Transcendent realm combat power]
Base Attribute Energy Quantity: 10
Immortal Divine Shield and Immortal Barrier Bonus: 200x
Revival Effect Bonus: 2x
Total Combat Power: 4000+
This calculation immediately clarified things for Lin Feng. Even the most ordinary Immortal realm expert was equivalent to one hundred million Transcendent realm experts. This was why in the universe, the gap between realms was an insurmountable chasm, and only anomalies like Lin Feng could fight across levels. Moreover, at just level thirteen, the bonus from immortal divinity was already substantial. In terms of combat power, a level thirteen Immortal realm expert was equivalent to 4000 freshly ascended Immortals, like naked Immortals who had not yet activated and improved their Immortal Divine Shield and Immortal Barrier. Based on his previous combat experience, Immortal realm experts at this level typically did not possess Immortal grade treasures, so this aspect of the bonus was not calculated.
Moving further down, it displayed the treasures he owned.
Exclusive Treasure: Heart of Eternity [Cosmic Unique Divine Artifact]
Usable Treasures: Immortal Slaying Sword Array [Dominator Grade], Primordial Chaos Green Lotus [Immortal Grade], Innate Nine-Colored Divine Light [Immortal Grade], Innate Five-Directional Flags [Immortal Grade]
These treasures had not changed much. Next was Lin Feng's naked combat power.
Cosmic Standard Combat Power (Dominator Realm Standard): 110
Estimated Strength: Level Fifteen - Sixteen (Dominator Realm)
[This estimation has calculated the combat power of various Immortal realm levels and the approximate strength of a level sixteen Dominator realm expert. Data beyond level sixteen is insufficient for estimation.]
Lin Feng nodded. The previous combat power display was too vague. This now appeared much clearer. His bare-handed strength was equivalent to 110 trillion ordinary Immortal realm experts. Even from Xiao Qing's estimation, the strongest Immortal realm expert between level fourteen and the Dominator realm only possessed a few billion combat power. And even by the power standard of the Dominator realm, Lin Feng was equivalent to the combined combat power of 110 level fifteen Dominator realm experts, almost reaching level sixteen strength. This was because during the month he was besieged by five Dominator realm experts, Xiao Qing had captured corresponding data during countless battles, leading to this precise assessment. And this, in reality, was merely Lin Feng's naked attributes. One must remember that he also possessed a Dominator grade treasure and multiple Immortal grade treasures, each being a unique existence among Immortal grade items. If he were to unleash the might of these treasures, to what level would his combat power return? Lin Feng was eager to find out.
