Chapter 506 The Power of the Stars

After so many days of familiarization and exploration, Shenqian's clone has initially gained control of "Tianming".

This relic came from a former king from abroad. Although its quality is only average among star-level weapons due to minor damage, this is only in comparison.

It has an extremely terrifying mass.

218,000 kilograms!

This is the naked weight of Uranus.

After feeling the true weight of Tianming, Shen Qian finally understood why everyone said that star-level weapons were exclusive to kings and nobles. Even someone like his senior brother, who clearly had the strength of a king or noble, still used a super-level spiritual energy weapon.

The power originating from the stars has many characteristics, one of which is that it is "as heavy as a thousand pounds and as light as a feather".

This means that those who cannot control the power of the stars will first have to bear the terrifying weight of the star power. This power, even if it enters the body of a powerful expert, is enough to shatter bones and destroy meridians.

And kings and nobles... after forging the crown of kings and nobles, they indirectly gained the qualification to control the starry sky.

Therefore, they are able to condense star power that ordinary people simply cannot withstand and use it for their own purposes.

This is the fundamental reason why the clone's combat power directly surpasses that of the original body after it acquires star power.

Even the Yuan Power generated after the two restrictions before sinking is far inferior in quality to Star Power.

"No wonder my sixth senior brother said that kings and nobles are all restraining themselves. If they were to fight in their true form, they would be humanoid walking meteorites that could easily destroy the world."

Back in the Heavenly Realm, Shen Qian almost had to face a Taiyi Golden Immortal alone. Fortunately, the existence of the Heavenly Emperor's Immortal position directly resulted in the death of Jiang Chengye and the serious injury of Zhong Li, giving him the possibility of taking control of the situation.

Otherwise, looking back now, given the naive state of his nascent star power before he sank in, he would have been completely unqualified to fight Zhongli head-on.

Fortunately, that clone possessed two different flames; otherwise, even Jiang Chengye at the time wouldn't have been able to suppress it.

The reason why Star-level weapons are suitable for kings and nobles is that these weapons, which are forged "using the starry sky as a furnace, taking star cores as blades, and gathering the power of the starry sky", are tailor-made according to the characteristics of kings and nobles.

The "Heavenly Nether" could kill a whole bunch of people if thrown out, but in the hands of a king or noble who wields the power of the stars, it is effortless and incredibly powerful—that's the difference.

Similarly, the incomplete "Scales of Heaven" that Shen Qian obtained from the Heavenly Realm, even after careful study, could only be carried by his clone; it would be extremely troublesome for his main body to use it.

Moreover, the "Scales of Heaven" is of a much higher level than the "Heavenly Netherworld". According to the information that Shen Qian consulted in the library of the underground city, the Star-level weapons are classified according to the opening of the Thousand Character Classic of the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, namely "Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow".

The differences between each level are enormous.

"Tianming" has an official classification, which is the Yellow Rank, corresponding to immortal artifacts, broken spiritual artifacts, and some precious ancient artifacts in the general sense.

Even so, the direct combat power boost that "Tianming" brings to the clone has reached 20%.

It may seem inferior to an SSS-level psionic weapon, but in the hands of a king, an SSS-level psionic weapon is practically worthless. The two are based on different quantities, so they are not comparable.

In addition, "Tianming" comes with two mythological effects, which is equivalent to an upgrade of the spirit-attaching effect.

The first type is "Godbreaker," which, when it damages the physical body, will also sever the spiritual body to the same extent.

This is an exceptionally powerful killing effect, originating from the mysterious black light swirling around the blade. It's equivalent to the fact that even a martial artist who has forged a spiritual core would have their spiritual power completely annihilated if the halberd pierced their vital organs directly, without the need for a second, more troublesome kill.

The second type is "shattering the space," which means that as long as the spirit of the halberd itself is activated, each swing of it will bring the effect of cutting through space. This not only greatly increases the lethality, but also prohibits many movement techniques that rely on space, which is equivalent to a disguised battlefield blockade.

These two mythical effects may not be uncommon among Star-class weapons, but they are practical, and I am quite satisfied with them before sinking.

Unfortunately, before sinking, the scales discovered that the clone's level was still a bit lacking, and it was unable to fully refine it. So far, it could only exert a preliminary suppression, and that suppression was indiscriminate.

Of course, the weight of the scale is even more terrifying, reaching 500,000 kilograms. It could probably crush a large area of ​​mountains and seas if it were smashed.

The only function that Shenqian developed was to temporarily increase the size of the scales and use them as a defense. Given the scales' toughness, ordinary kings and nobles had no way to deal with them.

In any case, the combination of "Tianming" and "Liangtianfen" means that although the clone is only a common Golden Immortal-level King, it should be qualified to barely fight against a Taiyi Golden Immortal... provided that the opponent does not have a Star-level weapon.

If they are equal Golden Immortal-level kings and marquises, and if they also possess considerable hidden combat power, their chances of winning are as high as 80%.

"The chief craftsman of the Military Industry Department was powerless to upgrade the 'Thousand Jun' armor's grade, perhaps because the armor itself was made by King Taiyi. However, S-grade is sufficient for now..."

Before sinking, I felt a pang of regret for not being too greedy.

After more than ten days of rest and recuperation, Chen Qian's combat strength has once again reached a peak in the short term, and it is unlikely that it will be able to make such a leap again without any unexpected events.

In peacetime, he should be content. After all, in less than a year, he had traversed a path that many martial artists couldn't complete in a lifetime, and he still had at least several thousand years of lifespan to squander. Unfortunately…

After talking with Wu Wei that day, Shen Qian not only continued his daily cultivation but also paid attention to the outside world. He also used his enhanced access to consult a lot of information in the library of the underground city.
