Lu Yin had modified the Time Stop Space with his star crystals, and although it was just an illusion, it was still very comfortable to look at.
The Sirius Palm and the Nine Stacks, Seventeen-Fold Shockwave Palm were his strongest attacks, and each had their own advantages. One was incomparably ferocious while the other was incomparably powerful. As for Flash Step, as long as his physical body could withstand it, he could even tear through the void. The 96th form of the Skybeast Claw was his weakest attack, but he did not want to give up on it. He had a feeling that the Skybeast Claw should not be that weak. After all, it was something that Undying Yushan had brought out from the Innerverse's Starfall Sea.
Of these battle techniques, the one he was most concerned about was the Concealing Aura Technique. Even the student leaders of the various academies and space-exploring powerhouses would find it difficult to see through him. The second was the Sirius Technique.
Sirius Technique had an irreplaceable effect when faced against strong enemies. Not only was it the counter to extreme speed, but it could also imitate the opponent's attack patterns. For example, in the battle against Silver, he had purely countered Sirius Technique.
As for the Sirius Technique, Lu Yin was extremely eager to obtain the lower part of the technique. However, according to the Trialmaster, the Sirius Sect was far more terrifying than he could imagine. His own technique had been stolen, so he could not reveal it to the public. This was a huge headache for him.
As for the Arcane Art of Life and Death, as long as he used it once, he would use it again the next time he faced death.
Lu Yin would rather not use this technique as it suppressed the body's self-healing potential and was too dangerous. However, he had already tried using it, and he didn't know how to get rid of it.
During this month, Lu Yin still did not feel like he was about to break through to the Limiteer realm. Helpless, he had to delay his breakthrough by another month. He was in a race against time, as he was already a thorn in the Daynight clan's side. In order to deal with him, Nightqueen Yanqing would definitely not allow him to smoothly join the Council of Astral Academy. He had to break through to the Limiteer realm before Nightqueen Yanqing made a move.
Time ticked by, and Lu Yin had already been in the Timestop Space for two months. His body's strength had increased through the training of gravity, and he could definitely withstand a Nine Stacks, Eighteen Fold Shockwave Palm, or even Nineteen Fold Shockwave Palm. However, he still hadn't reached the state of breaking through to the Limiteer realm.
Some people took years or even decades to break through from the Melder realm to the Limiteer realm. Including the time he had spent in the Time Stop space, he had already spent more than a year on his path as a Melder. With his aptitude, he should have been able to break through to the Limiteer realm.
Lu Yin pondered for a moment before silently reciting the Stonewall Scriptures. 'Being able to communicate with people is something that the Heavenly Dao will not allow. Leaping through the starry skies is something that the Heavenly Dao will grant. Leaping through the boundless skies is something that the Heavenly Dao will not allow. Leaping through the heavens is something that the Heavenly Dao will grant. Leaping through the boundless skies is something that the Heavenly Dao will grant. Leaping through the boundless skies is something that the Heavenly Dao will not allow.
The Stonewall Scriptures had caused Lu Yin to faint quite a few times, but it had also calmed his mind. This scripture had unimaginable power.
Lu Yin extended the deadline by another month.
He had more than enough star crystals, and now, he was fully focused on breaking through to the Limiteer Realm. If he did not break through, he would not leave.
He opened his eyes and exhaled. It had already been three months. He had stayed in the Timestop Space for three months, and during that time, his power had increased a little. However, the increase was not significant, and only his physical strength had increased significantly. As for the feeling of breaking through to the Limiteer realm, he still had not reached that point.
Could it be that he really needed a few years to break through?
Lu Yin thought to himself helplessly.
Suddenly, he thought of the Ghost Monkey. This fellow was a Limiteer, so perhaps he should ask it. It should be able to exist normally in this space since it was a part of his power.
Lu Yin removed the screen and looked at the cute monkey tattoo. He asked, "Are you still alive?"
"No," the monkey grumpily replied. The flow of time in the Timestop Space did not change relative to the outside world, but it did change relative to Lu Yin. Of course, Lu Yin's skeletal age and physical characteristics did not change, but his perception of time had changed. This could be seen on the monkey's body as well. Lu Yin had been cultivating for three months, which meant that the monkey had been blocked for three months.
"Let me ask you a question," Lu Yin said.
The monkey snorted in mockery.
Lu Yin glanced at it and said, "If you don't answer, I'll continue blocking you."
The monkey hurriedly replied, "Fine, fine, fine. Go ahead, go ahead."
"How do I break through to the Limiteer realm?" Lu Yin asked, looking forward to it.
"Break through to the Limiteer realm?
Right, you're still a Melder. How disgusting, I actually lost to a Melder junior. "
"I'll ask, and you'll answer," Lu Yin said impatiently.
The monkey sighed. "Well, it's easy to break through to the Limiteer realm. You just need to feel like you're about to break through. You should know that."
"How do I get that feeling?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey paused. "Do you feel like you've reached the peak of the Melder realm and your star energy is full?"
Lu Yin nodded.
"Actually, the star energy in your body isn't full. The human body has limitless potential, and your body is still unconsciously absorbing star energy because it isn't full yet. Let me tell you, even Explorers can't fill their bodies with star energy, let alone Melders."
"Then what should I do?" Lu Yin asked.
"It's simple. Just force it. The Limiteer realm is the limit. Let your star energy fill up in an instant and take advantage of the situation to break through. This is the simplest method, but it requires a lot of star energy. The speed at which you absorb it is also very abnormal. You need to absorb it at least five times faster than a normal person. Otherwise, you can just absorb it slowly. Eventually, you'll be able to break through," the monkey explained slowly.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. Five times?
His star energy absorption speed was nine times faster than a normal person's. "You're not lying to me?"
"Nonsense, we're one now. What good would it do me to lie to you?" the monkey said impatiently.
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. "Alright, I'll try." He paused and then asked, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Nothing, just feel it yourself. You've experienced the Sentinel and Melder realms, so the Limiteer realm isn't that difficult. Breaking through to the Explorer realm is the biggest hurdle."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he didn't hesitate to cut off the star energy in his right arm. He wouldn't let the monkey see anything. As for the monkey's current mood, Lu Yin didn't even need to think to know that it was probably cursing him merrily.
There were still a little more than five star essence left in his cosmic ring. He had used up almost 200,000 star crystals over the past three months, which was a terrifying expenditure. If not for the Mavis Bank's generosity and the pirates' robbery, he didn't know when he would have obtained so much star essence.
Lu Yin thought about it and then gripped the star essence tightly and crushed it. He was going to use five star essence to help him break through to the Limiteer realm.
Five star essence was not equal to 500,000 star crystals. It was much less, but it was much purer than star crystals. However, even if it wasn't 500,000 star crystals, it was almost the same amount of star energy that Lu Yin had used to break through to the peak of the Melder realm, which was equivalent to 400,000 star crystals.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. He had used up almost a million star crystals to break through to the Limiteer realm from the Melder realm, which would probably shock a bunch of people to death. The greatest use of star energy was to cultivate battle techniques, and a normal Melder could reach the peak of the Limiteer realm after using 100,000 star crystals. Lu Yin's consumption was about ten times that of a normal Melder.
The surging star energy filled the greyish white space, almost forming a visible liquid. This was the true form of the Astral River, made of pure energy. Now, Lu Yin had used five star essence to create a similar phenomenon. Although it wasn't much, it had formed a liquid state.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and activated his Sirius Art. His nine stars flickered as they frantically absorbed the star energy. His already saturated body seemed to break through its limits as the nine stars grew brighter and brighter, forming a perfect Nebula that rotated. The star energy formed a vortex that was absorbed by the Nebula and quickly disappeared. Lu Yin's body emitted a faint glow.
Suddenly, a strange feeling surfaced; it was the sensation of a breakthrough. Lu Yin opened his eyes. He was about to break through, but he couldn't do it here. He hadn't forgotten the strange phenomenon that had occurred when he had broken through to the Melder realm. He had clearly felt like he was about to break through, but he had still failed. If not for the Rainmaster's intervention, he would have failed. This sort of thing usually didn't happen, but there had to be a reason for it.
Lu Yin forcefully suppressed the urge to use the formcast model to break through and continued to madly absorb star energy with the Nebula Chart. However, the effects weren't great. Once he broke through to the Limiteer realm, his body would change once again and become more compatible with the universe. At that time, his body's capacity for star energy would increase once again, and it would be very difficult for him to absorb any more.
Lu Yin was afraid that the feeling of breaking through to the Limiteer realm would disappear. He sighed and waved his hand, causing the surging star energy to transform into mountains and rivers that extended into the distance. He was using up his star energy in hopes of leaving as soon as possible.
When the last second disappeared, Lu Yin's vision changed and he appeared in Astral-10. Only a second had passed in the real world, but Lu Yin didn't waste any time and immediately rushed towards the Rain Observatory. Compared to Old Cai, Lu Yin felt that the Rainmaster might be more reliable.
The scenery of the Rain Observatory never changed. The pitter-patter of raindrops landed on the limestone platform, splashing and dispersing like tiny worlds.
At this moment, the Rain Observatory wasn't completely empty; Schutz was there. His results in the Astral Combat Tournament had been very poor, and even if he wanted to serve at the border, he would have to wait for a while.
After the Astral Combat Tournament, he had realized his own shortcomings. Whether it was his control of star energy or his physical strength, he was far inferior to Lu Yin and the others. Previously, he had only trained with the Sandmaster to increase his battle experience and physical strength. Although he had made considerable progress, he was still too slow compared to the others. He had decided to start from the very beginning and start from the very basics, which was his control of star energy.
Lu Yin's appearance attracted Schutz's attention, and the almost uncontrollable surge of star energy caused him to tremble. Was that power a Limiteer?
Lu Yin casually found a limestone platform and sat down cross-legged. He took out his formcast model and pricked his finger. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he broke through to the Limiteer realm.
As the formcast model fused into his body, an intense pain swept through his entire body. Lu Yin growled as he felt his meridians burn and his cells reorganize. This was the feeling of breaking through.
Suddenly, his vision turned dark, and for some reason, he saw a dark sky and an incomparably large warship. On the ship, a figure was looking into the distance, and a majestic power caused the void to tremble. As the scene changed, Lu Yin saw that this power had taken the form of a mountain and was about to crush him to death.
