Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 457: Celestial Breaker

He quickly exited the training room.

Outside, Xing Ying was waiting for instructions. When she saw Li Pin emerge, she felt the Celestial Force Field within her come to a halt.

The aura Li Pin emitted didn't feel human; it was more like a ball of light—a sphere made entirely of lightning and electromagnetism. Even the slightest movement seemed capable of releasing world-shattering energy.

Yet, due to his inner spirit stability, not a single bit of energy leaked out even in the face of Gaia's force field suppression, preventing any damage to the surroundings.

"Hall Master," called out Xing Ying.

Li Pin instructed, "Gather all the Top-Tier Martial Gods. In ten days at the earliest, or half a month at the latest, I will begin the Celestial Breaker phase.

"This is a process every Martial God must face. Let them stop their work and observe; it will benefit them when they reach the Celestial Breaker stage."

He then soared into the sky with a flash of lightning and thunder, heading toward the horizon.

Xing Ying took a deep breath. "Celestial Breaker!"

The Skill Crystals Li Pin provided only explained up to the Top-Tier Martial God level due to capacity limits. Hence, he had written the Celestial Martial God Manual. This manual detailed realms beyond the Top-Tier Martial God, such as the Supreme Martial God, Vacuum Pulverizer, Celestial Breaker, and the path to becoming a Supreme Expert.

Therefore, she understood exactly what this realm meant. It represented a whole new world—a transition from planetary life to cosmic life.

In the terms of the old martial artists, it carried a similar significance as the transformation from a Martial Saint to an Astral Cultivator.

She quickly relayed the news to all the Top-Tier Martial Gods.

As the news spread, various discussions erupted among the Heavenly Realm Experts' circle.

"Is he finally going to break through!?"

"A few days ago, dark clouds gathered above the Celestial Martial God Hall... Is this the Celestial Breaker phase, beyond the Supreme Martial Gods?"

"To forge such a martial path... It's unbelievable."

"What do you think... did Hall Master Li create this martial path, or did he happen to acquire a Celestial Martial Arts inheritance?"

Regardless of what the Heavenly Realm Experts think, since Li Pin had announced his intention to reach the Celestial Breaker phase, they naturally didn't want to miss such a spectacle.

The Heavenly Realm Experts who had some time to spare took to the sky and flew toward the land of Great Moon.

Li Pin focused on the energy within him. He spent a long time searching for the right location until he finally stopped.

"The energy inside me is enormous—so vast that no matter where I attempt the Celestial Breaker phase, it would level the entire area," Li Pin said.

The data Si Xing had provided mentioned a universal cosmic value—Power Level.

Power Level could be understood as the effective energy release value.

The older version of Gaia's Legendary Expert could easily trigger nuclear fission by utilizing their spiritual will to dominate the Atomic Will.

After evolving into Heavenly Realm Experts, they formed a stable solar furnace inside their bodies, like constructing a large nuclear fusion reactor.

As their mastery grew, the reactor's size expanded, and when they reached the Top-Tier Heavenly Realm, it could rival a planetary reactor.

However, Gaia... had a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.

To move a planet with a diameter slightly over 10,000 kilometers out of its star system and alter its orbit would require energy ten thousand times greater than a planetary reactor! And this would take centuries of gravitational acceleration!

Gaia might have been smaller than a star with a diameter of millions of kilometers, but if the time for an "orbit change" were compressed to a month, or even just a few days, the energy needed would still be a hundred times greater than that of a Top-Tier Heavenly Realm cultivator.

Especially during the Celestial Breaker phase, when Li Pin would collide with the Gaia Celestial Force Field...

The energy release would be far more terrifying than the destruction caused by hundreds of Top-Tier Heavenly realm cultivators in life-and-death battles or chaotic Heavenly Realm astral techniques.

"The Celestial Breaker phase must take place in the sky, but it can't be completely detached from Gaia. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to use the Gaia Celestial Force Field to temper my Natal Planet and complete its transformation."

With this in mind, Li Pin flew over a vast desert that stretched for thousands of miles. He quickly ascended, reaching a height of several hundred miles above the desert.

Then... he poured all his energy into refining the Celestial Core Fragments.

Endless starlight merged into Li Pin's Natal Planet.

As the starlight integrated, his increasingly prominent Natal Planet seemed on the verge of solidifying from its ethereal state... It felt as though it was about to project from one dimension into the real world.

It was a sensation beyond words, like shaping a planet in a virtual world. Everything appeared illusory and nonexistent, yet, in reality, he could clearly project the power of this planet into the real world, causing it to interact with the world.

"It is said that the Astral World is from a higher dimension, and through inner spirit, it connects with our world. For this reason, the Astral World is also known as the Inner World."

The relationship between the Astral World and inner spirit is like that between mental and inner spirit. They progress layer by layer.

The divine power used to refine Astral World Fragments was inner spirit.

Some Demigods could comprehend inner spirit, but only those of Tier Five or Six Legends—whose domains, worlds, and planets had reached their peak—could sense the existence of the Astral World through external means and their own power.

It's like how only sufficiently large planets can cause gravitational waves visible to the naked eye, distorting time and space.

Among them, Demigods who merged with planets walked the path of external power. Even if the planets they fused with were enormous, since these weren't Natal Planet or worlds they had cultivated themselves, their perception of the Astral World would still fall short of the Tier Five or Six Legends.

Even if they refined Astral World Fragments and achieved Divinity, gaining some Astral God characteristics, their path of cultivation would have reached its limit.

"The Celestial Martial Path's only aim is to reach Divinity, and that is where the road ends. The path doesn't lead to the true ruler of the vast galaxy—the Astral God."

Li Pin sensed the Natal Planet within him. In the cultivation system, Divinity, though equivalent to immortality, was still of a lower rank, equivalent to Earth Immortals.

In contrast, Astral Gods were true Celestial Immortals. They held the potential to ascend even higher, becoming Golden Immortals, Primordial Saints, and eventually reaching the pinnacle of the universe.

"There's no difficulty in the world for those who are determined. If there's no road, create one. No challenge will be greater than the chaotic times of Blue Planet."

Li Pin quickly reined in his thoughts and focused on refining the Celestial Core Fragments to attempt the Celestial Breaker phase. As his Natal Planet grew more tangiblle, Gaia's Celestial Force Field suppressed him more and more.

At that moment, a destructive thundercloud spanning over a thousand miles appeared around him.

Countless bolts of lightning surged from the magnetic field, relentlessly striking toward Li Pin, who was nurturing his Natal Planet.

However, before these bolts could strike him, they were "bounced" away by the rotating Celestial Force Field around him.

Day after day... the strength of his magnetic field changed—245, 250, 255, 260....

Finally, when the magnetic field strength reached 270, Li Pin's Natal Planet trembled violently, followed by a projection forming around him.

It was a sphere with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers.

The projection radiated brilliant light, with countless bolts of lightning constantly erupting and flashing within it.

The moment the sphere manifested, the thunder flashing throughout the heavens slightly paused.

In the next instant, as the magnetic field rubbed against them, countless lightning bolts exploded at once. The area within a thousand miles turned into daylight.

The brilliance released in that instant caused the Martial Gods of the Celestial Martial God Hall and the Gaia Heavenly Realm Experts who had arrived to pale in shock.

"Celestial Breaker! Celestial Breaker!"

"Is this Hall Master Li's true power?! He's so strong!"

"The Celestial Breaker phase of the martial path... it actually requires facing the force of heaven and earth!?"

The Martial Gods and Heavenly Realm Experts stared at the area, which had become a sea of thunder stretching a thousand miles, their eyes filled with awe.

The Solar Radiance Sovereign and Fan Xiu had once considered themselves the strongest when it came to the usage of Heavenly Realm Astral Techniques. But even they found themselves overshadowed by this terrifying celestial phenomenon.

Buzz, buzz!

As Li Pin's Natal Planet projected out, an even grander celestial phantom appeared.

Compared to the hundred-kilometer diameter of Li Pin's Natal Planet, this celestial phantom revealed only part of itself, yet its size still exceeded ten thousand kilometers.

The volume difference was more than a million times larger.

It seemed like a projection, but when it manifested, it carried an overwhelming force that struck at Li Pin's Natal Planet. The extreme difference in size gave everyone the impression that just a single sneeze from the projection could turn Li Pin into dust.

However, despite the terrifying pressure, Li Pin did not retreat. Instead, he soared into the air, carrying the thunderous sea of lightning over a thousand miles, and charged directly at the celestial phantom.

In an instant, an invisible ripple spread like a storm from the point of collision, sweeping across every corner of Gaia.

It felt as if the booming sound of a giant bell rang in everyone's minds.

Countless places erupted in earthquakes and tsunamis.

Under the intense collision... Li Pin's Natal Planet only trembled slightly, showing no signs of cracking.

He broke through the celestial phantom projected from Gaia, then... he rose higher! And higher! He kept rising! Until he went all the way past the heavens!
