Chapter 1037: The fourth legendary path



BOOOOOOM!

One of the city wall's corners completely collapsed- It was where Hulak and Celebos were fighting!

"How widespread is this racial enhancement in the middle planetary belt?" Robin asked after a brief silence. He and Pythor seemed to exist in a different world, ignoring the carnage around them.

"I don't know how to answer... It's both widespread and not widespread at the same time," Pythor said, spreading his left hand.

"Racial enhancement devices are incredibly valuable. Most of the existing devices were manufactured in an era tens of millions of years ago. These remaining devices are sold only at auctions or acquired by killing their previous owners and taking them. And, of course, either way is extremely difficult. Most people don't have the money to buy one, nor the strength to seize one!"

He continued, "But those who possess the devices build their lives around them. They don't need much to establish a significant power base. They simply announce the opening of an army for humans and promise that anyone who joins and serves for a certain number of years will receive a racial enhancement and the freedom to use the fourth-stage of the laws. Humans will flock to them from all directions, even crawling out from underground to lick their feet for the chance. And boom! They've got an enormous army just by owning the device."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Pythor leaned back in his chair, a sense of pride visible on his face.

"But, of course, not all artificial hybrids are on the same level. Most hybrids use the blood of beasts only tens of thousands of years old because it's cheaper and more abundant. But we transformed using a Beast King that is over two million years of age, imbued with a Path of Destruction law. Even in the middle planetary belt, we're considered elite among elites in any army!"

"Oh? Such a thing exists?" Robin raised his eyebrows to their limit. He had always scorned those elixirs, seeing them as a reminder of his own inability to solve the problem. He hadn't realized they were so sought after and considered one of the four major solutions for humans!

But what was Pythor talking about, calling them rare and exorbitantly priced? Creating those elixirs was a tedious process with many steps, but they weren't expensive or rare. They could be produced in large quantities; in fact, virtually all his martial emperors consumed them like candy!

"...What about the fourth path?" Robin refocused his attention, locking his gaze on Pythor.

"Hmm, that one's the most controversial. In my opinion, it's one of humanity's greatest innovations, If not THE greatest. But, unfortunately, it hasn't been utilized to its full potential yet..." Pythor shook his head several times before pointing at Robin, his expression enigmatic. "It's the method of crafting energy foundations without relying on laws."

"Crafting energy foundations... without laws?" Robin's brow furrowed deeply. "You don't mean the internal energy foundations, the ones in the internal energy system itself, right?"

As the question left Robin's lips, he shook his head, an embarrassed smile forming on his face. The very premise of the question was impossible. Foundations without heavenly laws? Ridiculous.

To construct solid energy foundations at the energy center, one had to use a law to shape and solidify the energy through its patterns; otherwise, it would remain in its liquid state forever, leaving the person stuck at their current level, unable to absorb more energy.

Moreover, employing a heavenly law to solidify energy caused comprehensive changes in the body-enhancing its strength, aligning its affinity with the chosen law, and transforming the skin, flesh, bones, and even marrow incrementally with each new level. Without a heavenly law to guide the body's transformation, it would remain merely human-a mortal body! Pythor laughed heartily. Seeing Robin asking like a curious child amused him immensely. "Actually, that's exactly what I mean. There's a development in the cultivation path where one no longer needs a heavenly law to build internal energy foundations!"

"That's impossible- absolutely impossible!" Robin's eyes widened in shock.
