The flames ignited but could not sustain the fire on flesh and blood, quickly showing signs of extinguishing.
With Liu Yu's current resistance to spells, as long as he could withstand the first wave of attack power, the residual effects would hardly cause any effective damage.
The crimson flames were not spiritual fire; they were merely the fire conjured by fire attribute magical power. Although they possessed considerable might, they were still insufficient to harm his current physical body.
"Not bad."
"With the current strength of my body, even if I were unfortunately struck at a vital point by a true treasure, as long as the cultivation level does not exceed mine by too much, it is nearly impossible to cause a fatal blow in one hit."
"But with my spiritual perception, unless a divine sovereign intervenes, I would not be unable to react."
After a round of testing, Liu Yu displayed a smile, very satisfied with the upgraded âstar body.â
He then shifted his gaze to the wound on his palm, where the crimson flames were gradually extinguishing.
"Moreover, as the physical body was washed by spiritual power, combined with the transformation of being promoted to the fourth stage, my resistance to spells has greatly increased."
"At this point, the vast majority of spells below the fourth stage can hardly cause me any harm."
"Even fourth stage spells, as long as they do not hit vital points, would also find it difficult to inflict effective damage."
"In this way, my strength has seen a considerable enhancement, and my ability to survive has also significantly increased!"
Advancing to the fourth stage in body refinement, his overall strength had also seen great improvement, and various thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, stirring his emotions.
"With the advancement of body refinement to the fourth stage, I can both attack and defend, and can respond appropriately whether facing a true lord or a demonic king."
"With my current strength, among the many nascent soul early stage old monsters, it should be hard for me to encounter an opponent, right?"
Feeling his current strength, he cautiously estimated in his heart.
Although it was a conservative estimate, he still received a positive answer.
Most nascent soul cultivators, despite being stuck at the early stage for their entire lives, had lived for so many years, and surely possessed numerous trump cards.
They all had corresponding preparations to ensure their survival and escape.
In today's cultivation world, every nascent soul true sovereign was a figure close to legendary!
However, even with their own exceptional traits, they would still be limited by resources.
And having an Immortal Abode in hand was precisely Liu Yu's greatest advantage, allowing him to accumulate substantial resources.
This was not apparent during the golden core stage, but once reaching the nascent soul realm, he would immediately surpass most true lords.
"What a pity."
Yet, feeling the immense power within his âtrue bodyââcapable of moving mountains and filling seasâand the seemingly endless vitality, a hint of regret flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.
He was ultimately not a true body cultivator; he merely practiced the path of body cultivation alongside others.
In certain aspects, compared to orthodox body cultivators, he was slightly flawed and could not fully acquire all the fourth stage body cultivation techniques.
"Body cultivators focus on the cultivation of the physical body, and their philosophy of cultivating immortality has always believed that the physical body is the foundation of everything."
"Orthodox body cultivators do not condense their nascent soul, and during the breakthrough from the third stage to the fourth stage, they fuse their Primordial Spirit with their physical body, integrating into every inch of flesh and blood."
"And a golden core is still just a golden core; it merely serves as a means to refine magical power and harmonize qi and blood."
"At this step, one has truly embarked on the path of âphysical body sanctificationâ."
