Chapter 8: The Body of Steel

A distant war was on the verge of breaking out, but at this time, Joshua was thinking about his own path to advancement.

Although there are many differences in the cultivation methods of the Mycrof Continent and the Grandia Continent, they are similar in nature, and from the perspective of a warrior, he can clearly distinguish the differences and commonalities between the two.

The Initial Fire ignites chaos and allows existence to appear in the void, and the steel of origin shapes the world, and then derives all things, but just as a person is born short and a person is born strong, the power of steel at the beginning of the creation of each world is not equal, and these different amounts and qualities of the power of creation bring about countless different worlds, and also affect the distribution of free energy that can be used by intelligent life in each world.

In fact, there are some worlds with strong steel power, because their manifestation form is the vast and boundless form of endless galaxies, so the energy density is diluted to the point that it is difficult to perceive, and there are some worlds where the initial steel power is relatively poor, but because its manifestation form is a round sky, or a small world with only one or two stars, it leads to extremely high energy density and a very large number of births of transcendents.

Joshua didn't know which was bigger, the McCrof world or the Grandia world, but in the McCrove world, in addition to a continent, there was also a vast and boundless sea, and there were many secret realms and half-planes hanging outside the sky, just like the boundless heavenly realm where the gods were located, except that it was not suitable for ordinary life, the vastness alone was not inferior to the entire Mycrof continent.

The world of Grandia doesn't have any of these extras, it only has a continent, so its free energy, that is, the density of elemental magic, should be greater than that of the Mycrof world.

But Joshua didn't feel how dense the energy of Grandia's world was, but he had already found the reason.

That is the ore 'Primordial Crystal' on which all the transcendents of the magical energy system depend.

According to the warrior's speculation, at the beginning of the creation of the Grandia world, most of the excess energy was condensed into countless ore-like energy crystals, that is, the so-called primordial crystals, which were buried deep in the ground, forming huge ore veins, these primordial crystals are equivalent to the world's excess 'fat', although it is useless, but compared to the fighting energy and magic derived from the human cultivation of the Mycrof continent, it is a more primitive and closer to the power of steel.

Purely in terms of combat power, demonic energy is not as powerful as fighting spirit or magical power, but it can bring all kinds of special qualities to those who practice it.

The transcendents of the Grandia world use this energy to change the nature of their lives, so their life force and soul have been integrated from the beginning because of this special power, and it is difficult to dissipate, which is why in the Grandia world, the people and beasts who died thousands of years ago will have the remnants of the dead, or even the remnants of the heroic spirits, and now after being awakened by some kind of power, they can still retain a part of the power in front of them.

Holding the seed of the holy stone in his hand, Joshua continued to absorb the majestic energy in it, this fragment of the holy stone with water and ice attribute magic energy was logically difficult to absorb by an existence like him with fire attribute fighting energy, but the warrior's realm was so high and the grasp of energy was so precise that Joshua could easily reverse most of the attributes of ownerless energy and convert them into what he could use.

And as the warrior continued to analyze the essence of magic energy, analyzing this combination of energy similar to the mixture of life force and magic power, the fighting vitality of his body became closer and closer to the essence of steel power, Joshua watched little by little that his power liberation level was rising, and now it had reached the point of 45%, which meant that even if he went to a different other world different from the world of Grantia and Microf, his power liberation level would be 45%.

"Almost."

Feeling that he had reached his current limit, Joshua stood at the edge of the lake, he temporarily stopped absorbing the energy from the fragments of the holy stone, and then tentatively stretched out his left hand, only to see the red fighting aura surge, causing a fist-sized fireball to appear out of thin air in the warrior's palm.

The fireball was small but bright, and it glowed a blazing white, causing the heat wave to spread out in all directions mixed with light radiation, so hot that the surface of the nearby lake began to boil and evaporate, and it was as clear as day for several kilometers in a radius.

Joshua stared at the fireball in his hand, as if the rays of the sun were completely absent.

This was not a secondary flame produced by burning his own Dou Qi, but the high heat generated by his attempt to directly accelerate the movement of the matter particles, and in this small fireball, the energy particles in the air were impacted by the stream of high-energy particles generated by the Warrior's Dou Qi, forming a situation similar to the self-explosion of the Molten Core Star.

"Strange."

Scattering the fireball in his hand, Joshua muttered to himself with some confusion: "Although the degree of liberation of my strength is only forty-five percent, according to my current performance, I have at least recovered more than sixty percent of my strength. ”

Being able to roughly control the phenomenon of self-detonation similar to the Fusion Core Star is the realm of the warrior during the Battle of the Wild Dragon in the Far Sea Sacred Mountain, at that time, Joshua's combat power was probably 60% to 70% of his future heyday, that is, after the battle with Herras, that is, although the current warrior has only liberated 45%, his strength can be equal to 60% of the heyday.

β€”β€”This should be a deeper understanding of the power of steel, and the overall improvement it brings.

After thinking for a while, Joshua roughly understood the reason, this was because through the analysis of the magic energy and the original crystal, his body and the life force in his body had begun to transform towards the power of the original steel.

With his hands clenched into fists, tiny currents and flames of light flashing around the warrior's fists, Joshua found that he was now able to vaguely perceive and manipulate the almost infinite and extremely tiny particles of matter around his body, these particles of matter were the most basic existence after the power of existence and the power of steel, and when he was able to sense these particles of matter, the warrior suddenly felt that everything around him was very different from before.

Sweeping everything around him at a glance, Joshua seemed to have the illusion that there were countless cracks and gaps between all things, and even his own tough flesh, which was no less tempered than pure gold, was full of flaws and loopholes on the microscopic level, and was completely vulnerable.

Joshua already knew that this was why his power would be limited when he came to the world of Grandia - because the particles of matter that made up his body were so loose that they could easily be affected by the environment around him.

Because of coming from different worlds, the density of the warrior's body and the way the material particles move are slightly different from the local creatures in this world, which seriously affects the energy operation in his body, and there are two ways to change this situation, one is to assimilate with the local creatures as much as possible and fully adapt to this world, and the other is to constantly improve and strengthen himself, so as to achieve an indestructible body and realm like the 'Origin Steel'.

"I am now in the Extreme Consciousness Realm, and my body has long been honed to the point of transcendence, and ordinary matter and energy particles cannot strengthen my body."

Joshua looked thoughtfully at the fragment of the Holy Stone Seed that was still releasing magnificent light in the palm of his right hand, and thought silently in his heart: "The Primordial Crystal of this grade of the Holy Stone Seed is too cherished and hard to find, but at least it must be equivalent to the cloud diamond that Aryne gave me, so it has a little effect." ”

Continuously absorbing a cloud diamond and a fragment of the holy stone seed increased the strength liberation of the warrior by nearly ten percent, although this kind of improvement is more difficult in the later stage, but it is indeed a method, Joshua has even sorted out in his heart how to convert the fighting energy and life force into magic energy, and further sublimate the magic energy into the power of steel cultivation method, but this method has not been tried, it is a pure theory.

"Perhaps, I should find a time and let the locals here try this set of my cultivation methods."

"But now, it's still important to focus on the relics of the fourth sage."

The body slowly rose, Joshua did not rely on the fighting spirit to push his body, but simply relied on his own energy magnetic field to carry out anti-gravity suspension in the air, he remembered the red-haired girl's face that appeared before because of the resonance of the Azure Orb, and the scars all over his body, the warrior shrugged: "It doesn't look like it's in a good state, but it's a blessing to be alive." ”

The worst situation that Joshua and Eagle have discussed is that the inheritor of the Fourth Sage's relic has died, because the last existence that can be passed down has disappeared, so the relic spontaneously resonates and calls for other inheritors to take it away.

Without too many stops, the warriors rose several thousand meters into the stratosphere of the Grandian world.

Then, a red lightning bolt tore through the night sky and sped towards the west of the continent.

Half a day later, a dark shadow came to the lake where Joshua had been staying.

The Shadow of Change Loz seriously checked all the remaining traces around him, and fortunately, because of the residual strength of the warriors, there were no dead figures reborn within a radius of several kilometers in the second half of the night, and most of the clues were not destroyed.

After exploring every piece of dirt in the vicinity, the black humanoid has roughly reproduced the scene that happened here not long ago.

"It needs to be reported immediately."

The magic rune condensed, the news was sent out immediately, there was no time and mind to be shocked, Loz knew that it was definitely not a half-person who could deal with this powerful otherworldly existence, and if he wanted to erase this unstable point, I am afraid that only the great commanders would personally take action.
