Chapter 70: Level 3 Lifeform
Rather than saying the Level 3 Android from The Truth Society was an invincible foe.
It would be more accurate to say this was simply the level of power a normal Level 3 Lifeform should possess.
A century ago, when The Truth Society instigated the War of Nations, the androids they deployed...
...were part of an initial production batch. They lacked refinement and were riddled with flaws.
They were significantly weaker than lifeforms of the same tier.
The Central Plains' absolute celestial expert, Ye Kunlun, managed to severely injure a Level 4 Android by choosing to Sacrifice and Burn everything he had. This outcome was also partly due to those very flaws.
"Master, when do you plan to break through?"
AI Xiaolan inquired.
In her Database, the information regarding Level 3 Lifeforms...
...was limited to the Level 3 Androids deployed by The Truth Society a century ago,...as well as the God-Seeing Realm powerhouses of Xia Nation who had chosen to Sacrifice and Burn alongside Ye Kunlun.
The former inherently possessed numerous flaws.
The latter did not achieve their breakthroughs naturally. Even if they luckily crossed into the Level 3 tier, their foundations were riddled with hidden dangers.
Their true combat power could not compare to a normal Level 3 Lifeform.
Therefore, it was only after observing the data of a relatively normal Level 3 Android...
...that she concluded the enemy was invincible.
Up until now, a true and normal Level 3 Lifeform had yet to be born on Blue Star.
Of course, this scope was limited to humanity and did not include mutated beasts.
"Right now."
Su Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest. He left the villa immediately and headed for Gravity Lab No. 7.
Seventeen minutes later.
Su Yuan smoothly arrived inside Gravity Lab No. 7.
"Boss, the gravity chamber is ready."
Sun Quanli had received the order well in advance and prepared everything, simply waiting for Su Yuan to arrive.
In the center of the gravity chamber.
Su Yuan sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, he was still ten minutes away from the time provided by the gray mirror, when his overall condition would reach its absolute peak.
While waiting.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, Su Yuan casually posed a question to the gray mirror.
'Will this breakthrough go smoothly?'
The surface of the gray mirror rippled with a hazy mist before providing an answer.
[Smoothly.]
Receiving the desired response, Su Yuan's expression remained entirely unchanged.
He had already asked the gray mirror this very question many times, and the answer was always that he would break through smoothly.
Breakthroughs between Life Levels always carried the risk of failure. Once a breakthrough failed, the mildest consequence would be severe internal injuries, while the worst-case scenario was sudden death on the spot.
However, Su Yuan was practicing the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method. Combined with the flawless cultivation plan formulated by the gray mirror, the possibility of a failed breakthrough simply did not exist.
If it were not a guaranteed success, Su Yuan would never have chosen to attempt the breakthrough in the first place.
Ten minutes later.
With every breath he took, Su Yuan faintly felt his physical and mental condition reaching an unprecedented summit.
'Begin the breakthrough!'
Su Yuan immediately elevated his aura.
Compared to other cultivators attempting to break through major bottlenecks, Su Yuan's mindset was remarkably relaxed. After all, knowing he would definitely succeed left him completely free of pressure.
Boom!
His vitality boiled like a roaring ocean, and his mind force continuously expanded outward. If not for the total isolation provided by the gravity chamber, the energy fluctuations radiating from Su Yuan's breakthrough would have been instantly captured by the Xia Nation Observation Bureau. As time continued to trickle by...
...Su Yuan's aura grew increasingly formidable. His Physical Body, Soul, Will, Wisdom, Comprehension, and Potential—all six dimensions—were upgrading in perfect synchronization.
During a Life Level breakthrough, the Physical Body served as the foundation and the carrier for the other five dimensions. Therefore, in terms of enhancement speed, his physical form was undoubtedly the fastest, becoming the first to reach the Level 3 Lifeform tier.
'My Physical Body has broken through.'
Su Yuan felt no ripples of emotion in his heart. The cultivation methods in the Universe were as vast and countless as the open sea, and the vast majority of them encompassed the physical dimension.
As the anchor of the six dimensions, the Physical Body was also the easiest to advance.
'Soul and Will next!'
Su Yuan continuously circulated the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, pushing the limits of his Soul and Will dimensions.
Before long, the attributes of these two dimensions also achieved the Level 3 Lifeform tier.
At this point, three of his six dimensions had successfully broken through.
'Now for Wisdom, Comprehension, and Potential!'
Su Yuan closed his eyes. Using the Physical Body, Soul, and Will dimensions that had already reached the Level 3 tier, he endlessly nourished and fed energy back into the remaining three.
As a technique capable of allowing a lifeform to evolve flawlessly, the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method was far more difficult to practice and break through with compared to ordinary cultivation methods.
This was especially true regarding breakthroughs. If Su Yuan had been practicing a standard technique, he would have already smoothly become a Level 3 Lifeform by now.
Yet right now, he was still in the middle of his breakthrough, with three major dimensions having yet to advance alongside the others.
Of course, while the difficulty of a Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method breakthrough vastly exceeded the norm, once successful, the resulting surge in combat power was completely incomparable to ordinary techniques.
This leap in strength might not be overly obvious at Level 1 or Level 2, but starting from Level 3, the gap between him and those practicing standard methods would only widen further the higher he climbed.
"Activate the gravity environment. Set the High-multiple Gravity to thirty-four times."
Su Yuan opened his eyes and instructed AI Xiaolan to activate the High-multiple Gravity environment.
This was also part of his breakthrough plan. After his Physical Body, Soul, and Will had advanced to Level 3, he would use the crushing pressure of High-multiple Gravity to force the remaining three dimensions to break through.
"Understood, Master." AI Xiaolan immediately executed the command.
Instantly.
A terrifying, suffocating pressure bore down on Su Yuan's body.
Thirty-four times gravity had already surpassed the absolute limit of what a normal Level 2 Lifeform could endure. If it were not for the fact that three of his dimensions had already crossed into the Level 3 tier, he never would have activated such an extreme High-multiple Gravity environment during his breakthrough.
Hum! Under the immense external pressure, Su Yuan's Physical Body, Soul, and Will dimensions began to nourish his Wisdom, Comprehension, and Potential at an even greater intensity.
In an instant, the enhancement speed of the latter three multiplied several times over, rapidly closing in on the Level 3 Lifeform tier.
Out in Gravity Lab No. 7, the researchers were constantly bustling about their stations.
"The Boss has been in the gravity chamber for so long this time. Why hasn't he activated the gravity environment yet?"
Sun Quanli glanced toward the gravity chamber with a hint of curiosity while studying the data in his hands.
Over the past few months, Su Yuan would enter the gravity chamber every three or four days, and every time, he would immediately activate the gravity environment to cultivate.
Just as Sun Quanli was feeling puzzled, the red screen above the gravity chamber's main door suddenly lit up.
"The gravity environment is on?"
Sun Quanli looked over in curiosity, and his heart immediately skipped a beat. "Thirty-four times gravity environment?"
According to Sun Quanli's research on the extreme gravitational limits the human body could endure, even a True Core Celestial could only withstand a maximum of twenty-eight times gravity.
Exceeding twenty-eight times would cause severe internal injuries, and anything over thirty times was essentially a countdown to death.
A thirty-four times gravity environment?
Perhaps those terrifying mutated beasts on Blue Star could survive in such an extreme space, but it absolutely did not include human beings.
"The Boss, he..."
Sun Quanli steadied his nerves. Based on his understanding of Su Yuan, the man would absolutely never do anything he wasn't completely confident in. Since he dared to activate thirty-four times gravity, it meant everything was firmly under his control.
Even so, Sun Quanli still found it utterly unbelievable. Just what kind of method was the Boss using to withstand thirty-four times gravity?
Half an hour later.
Inside the gravity chamber, Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a profound smile surfacing on his face. "I have finally crossed into the Level 3 Lifeform tier."
