Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 458: Supreme

Roughly speaking, it was the difference between an Innate Divine and an Acquired Divine.

Most Divines refined a planet with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers as their primary planet—in other words, their Natal Planets.

His own Natal Planet, by comparison, was only 1,000 kilometers. The difference was a hundredfold, even a millionfold—like an infant-stage Innate Divine.

Li Pin pondered, Supposedly, this is because the collapse of the Astral World damaged the universe's structure. Energy and matter began converging toward the Primordial Origin, and the laws became denser.

In far older eras, even Demigods could refine colossal planets or suns with diameters reaching a million kilometers as their Natal Planets.

This was also recorded in the Heaven-Subjugating Technique. During that era, the observable universe stretched over a trillion light-years. Beyond that, the sparse matter kept its outer edges unexplored.

But now... the universe had contracted to only 100 billion light-years.

However, for Li Pin, these numbers were nothing more than abstract figures. Whether a trillion or a hundred billion light-years, they were equally distant concepts.

The most magnificent being he could perceive for now was Astral God Yin Luo, whose starlight extended tens of thousands of light-years.

"My Natal Planet is finally complete."

With a flip of his hand, Li Pin produced a fragment of a Celestial Core Fragment and refined it.

The expansion of his Natal Planet required matter and energy. Despite reaching this realm, relying solely on natural growth to reach 1,000 kilometers would have taken decades. Even with Astral Core Fragment's assistance, the process still proved slow.

"It's still too slow."

Li Pin drifted downward slightly.

As Li Pin approached Gaia, the Celestial Force Field radiating from him began to disrupt Gaia's own. The first to react was the atmosphere, drawn and distorted under his influence.

Further down, the boundless ocean stirred, creating a tidal effect. Without restraint, the disturbance could trigger massive tsunamis, devastating cities and entire nations.

"So fragile," Li Pin murmured with genuine emotion.

From the perspective of a cosmic lifeform, the creatures inhabiting planets seemed far too delicate.

He wouldn't need to make any deliberate moves to wreak havoc and devastation; simply maintaining his Natal Planet's operation could cause earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, reducing thousands of kilometers to wasteland or leveling the land entirely.

Pausing his descent, Li Pin released his immense mental spirit. It quickly spread and locked onto the figures flying toward him—Solar Radiance Sovereign, Yuan Zhenchuan, Fan Xiu, Xiao Donghai, Wu De, Ge Lin, Xing Ying, Xie Longcheng, Yue Ying, and others.

Seeing their eager, excited gazes, Li Pin spoke bluntly, "I have completed the Celestial Breaker phase."

"Celestial Breaker!"

"He succeeded... he truly succeeded!"

"The realm beyond Vacuum Pulverizer... the Supreme Expert!"

The Martial Gods of the Celestial Martial God Hall couldn't contain their joy.

Could the Martial Path really reach such heights!? Celestial Breaker—beyond this lay the realm of Supreme Experts, the domain of Legends!?

A Legend... Gaia now had a Legend as its guardian!?

Had this occurred before Astral God Yin Luo's descent, Gaia, with such a powerhouse, could have qualified to join the Homo Sapien Alliance. With their aid, Gaia would have truly stepped beyond its planet and entered the cosmic stage.

Ge Lin smiled and declared, "From now on, there are no more Supreme Experts among Astral Cultivators. Gaia has only one Supreme Expert—Li Pin, Martial God Li!"

His words gained unanimous approval from the others.

The Heavenly Realm Experts spoke one after another.

"In recent exchanges with other civilizations, we've realized that our so-called Supreme Experts are nothing more than ordinary Heavenly Realm Beings. Compared to others, many of us are on the weaker end of the Heavenly Realm. Calling ourselves Supreme Experts was blind arrogance."

"Every civilization has hundreds of Heavenly Realm Beings. Most of them start as ordinary Heavenly Realms and rise to Top-Tier or even Invincible Heavenly Realms. Each interaction with them brought us tremendous pressure. But now... we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Gaia is fortunate to have Martial God Li."

Respect filled their gazes as they looked toward Li Pin.

Solar Radiance Sovereign, Fan Xiu, Wu De, and Yuan Zhenchuan were also deeply moved. Whether friend or foe, they had all witnessed Li Pin's rise, step by step.

Yuan Zhenchuan's thoughts drifted to Fu Qingtian, still in his closed-door cultivation.

Yuan Zhenchan thought, I tried sending the Cosmic True Dragon Secret Art to him, but it didn't go through.... His "path beyond Legend," inspired by Li Pin's Celestial Martial God Manual, is still uncertain. I wonder how it will turn out.

Unfortunately, Fu Qingtian had entered a state of closed-door cultivation. He had shut off all distractions and cleansed his mind, focusing entirely on forging his path beyond Legend.

Any external information or changes were completely disregarded and couldn't disturb him.

In fact, if it weren't for the powerful defenses of his secluded area, a single nuclear bomb, if detonated successfully, could instantly take Fu Qingtian's life.

Li Pin said, "I still need time to consolidate my cultivation. As for where I'll cultivate...."

Li Pin's gaze shifted to Planet Taibai, 60 million kilometers away. "During this time, I'll carry a pair of Twin Jade Stones. Once the set-up for the interdimensional Astral Gate is complete and it's about to open, transmit the message to me through the other Jade Stone."

Yuan Zhenchuan nodded.

Once the set-up for the Astral Gate was complete, it would need three to five days to cool down and stabilize.

In the vacuum of space, Heavenly Realm cultivators could easily reach speeds of tens of kilometers per second, which would only increase as they accelerated.

60 million kilometers in three to five days was more than enough.

Yuan Zhenchan said solemnly, "Hall Master Li, continue with your cultivation. We'll handle things here. Also, we've made contact with other civilizations and established basic communication.

"The Celestial Dragon Civilization provided us with crucial information. We can use interference with the Astral Gate to delay their arrival. If we're lucky, we might even be able to destroy their Astral Gate connection."

Li Pin nodded.

A delayed arrival of the Divine Dragon Empire wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It would give Gaia more time to prepare.

Gaia wasn't lacking in strength. The first batch of Heavenly Realm cultivators had been born under the radiant glow of Astral God Yin Luo.

Their talents were high, and with the entire galaxy still bathed in the glow of the great Yin Luo, they could cultivate freely.

Given three to five years, the most talented among them would quickly catch up to the level of the Top-Tier Heavenly Realm.

When a whale falls, everything grows.

The fall of Astral God Yin Luo was like an annual celebration for the civilizations and beings in this galaxy—tenfold experience, tenfold loot, tenfold luck, and so on....

Other civilizations, having accumulated knowledge and resources over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, would see Gaia quickly match their progress in just a few decades.

Afterward, everyone would start on equal footing, competing for the great Yin Luo's inheritance.

The Divine Dragon Empire's cosmic civilizations only had an early advantage due to their foundation. Unless they entered a "snowball" phase, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it would be for non-cosmic civilizations like Gaia.

Li Pin ordered, "Focus on gathering information on the six great Legends of the Divine Dragon Empire. I need to understand their specific strengths."

Yuan Zhenchuan quickly nodded. "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. We've been putting all our efforts into intelligence work during this time."

"Alright."

Li Pin didn't intervene further. When it came to handling Gaia's matters, Yuan Zhenchuan was undeniably competent.

Even Solar Radiance Sovereign, in a certain sense, was capable. However, his limited perspective had led him to believe in the promising future promised by the Divine Dragon Empire, which ultimately put Gaia in danger.

After a brief exchange, Li Pin took to the air, flying toward Planet Taibai.

The space environment was different from Gaia's atmosphere.

There was no atmospheric pressure in outer space. Coupled with his own magnetic field erupting and Gaia's gravity assisting in accelerating him, he quickly increased his speed to over one hundred kilometers per second.

By the first day, his speed had reached three hundred kilometers per second. Li Pin maintained this velocity for a while.

As he came within 10 million kilometers of Planet Taibai, he gradually slowed down.

Four days later, he landed calmly on Planet Taibai.

The planet's diameter was sixteen thousand kilometers, and its environment was extremely harsh. The temperature was constantly above three hundred degrees Celsius, and its atmosphere contained toxic gases, making it nearly impossible for humans to survive.

However, such a harsh environment posed no challenge to Li Pin, who was strong enough to traverse space with his physical body.

Upon landing, he waved his hand, and the ground seemed to tear apart under an invisible force.

As he plunged into the rift, it grew deeper.

At this very moment, his presence was akin to that of a celestial body.

Even though he was deep underground, with terrifying pressure and high temperatures, it was still within his capacity to withstand. While it required effort to create the path, it wasn't a difficult task.

Two days later, Li Pin reached the planet's core, six thousand kilometers below the surface.

At this point, he paused. Any further descent, even with his Celestial Magnetic Field, would cause considerable strain, and he would need to maintain full power at all times.

Nevertheless, this altitude was already enough for him.

Endless light filled the area around him, including his expanded Celestial Magnetic Field, as well as the astral energy that Planet Taibai had absorbed and accumulated over the past century.
