My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Even if the seven women didn't infuse him with their Spiritual Power, he was confident he could kill these two behemoths within a hundred moves.

System: "Congratulations, Host, for killing the Tier Forty-Five Mutated Creature 'Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Kui.' Reward: 4.5 billion Achievement Points, three Tier Forty-Five Mutated Spiritual Medicines 'Thunder Prison Celestial Core Pills,' and one Tier Forty-Three Divine King-level Extraordinary Item 'Kui Thunder Domain-Suppressing Halberd.'"

System: "Congratulations, Host, for killing the Tier Forty-Six Mutated Creature 'Erosion of the Cosmos Dark Void Qun.' Reward: 4.6 billion Achievement Points, three Tier Forty-Six Mutated Spiritual Medicines 'Dark Void Returning Essence Dews' (a semi-solid, resin-like substance), and one Tier Forty-Four Divine King-level Extraordinary Item 'Erosion Universe Star-devouring Shuttle.'"

Deep within Mars, there were still six Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts. However, those six were all at Tier Forty-Seven or Tier Forty-Eight. Li Xiang was only Tier Forty-Nine, so he wasn't particularly confident about taking on all six at once.

However, he couldn't lose face in front of his women. He led them into the fray, battling the six Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts in the Dark Cosmic Space deep within Mars.

In the end, he killed three, severely injured one, and then relied on his superior speed to make a clean getaway.

Of course, he made sure to snatch the corpses of the Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts he had killed, including the two from the surface earlier. These were excellent materials, perfect as a gift for Jiang Cai'Er.

Jiang Cai'Er would be able to build several more Divine King Level Stellar Mother Ships under her command.

The surviving Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts roared in fury but didn't dare to give chase. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to catch him.

The most powerful of them, the King of Exotic Beasts, was so frustrated it could have coughed up blood. Li Xiang's interference had set back its Fusion progress with Mars by seven or eight percent. It felt a humiliation like never before. It had stood out among numerous competitors to earn the right to fuse with the Heart of Mars, and it was naturally proud. It never expected to suffer such a major setback today.

"Where did that human come from?" it panted, asking its companion.

One of the Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts replied, "I don't know, but seeing how powerful he is, he must be from the Cyan Spirit Star Realm, right?"

Another Divine King Realm Exotic Beast questioned, "The Cyan Spirit Star Realm is extremely far from here. It's unlikely anyone from there would venture this deep. I heard there's a planet in this Fixed Star system inhabited by a large number of humans."

"I think the local lifeforms call that planet Earth. There are humans there, but they're said to be extremely weak—nothing more than a tasty meal. It's unlikely they could produce such a powerful expert. Besides, the ones who invaded that planet were the Star Rock Dominating Armor Dragon King and its ilk. That bunch isn't much weaker than us. They've probably already started the Refinement of that planet."

"Let's put that aside for now. That human was injured too, so he probably won't be back anytime soon. Stand guard for me. I'm going to speed up my Fusion with this planet. Once I become the Planet Master, I won't have to fear that guy anymore!" The King of Exotic Beasts gritted its teeth, swallowing its humiliation and getting back to work.

If it became the Master of Mars, with the home-field advantage, it wouldn't fear Li Xiang in the slightest, even if he was a few minor Realms higher.

Meanwhile, deep in the Asteroid Belt, Li Xiang was also hard at work. The seven women combined were just barely a match for him.

They were healing Li Xiang's injuries. It was only because Li Xiang was going easy on the ladies, and because he was already exhausted from the series of battles, that they were an even match.

After seven days and nights of dual cultivation and healing, Li Xiang made a full recovery.

'I can't just charge in like that again,' he mused. 'As the saying goes, a craftsman must first sharpen his tools. I need to forge a suitable Divine Soldier first.'

He also happened to have seven Divine King-level Extraordinary Weapons on hand, and with seven women by his side, he wasn't stingy. He took them out and distributed them, one for each woman.

As for Jiang Cai'Er and Luo Feifei, he would acquire more for them later.

"Brother, you're giving all these Divine King-level Spiritual Soldiers to us. What about you?" Yao Yao asked. The other women also looked concerned. They wanted to refuse, but Li Xiang insisted on pushing the weapons into their arms.

"I'll use Star Pills," Li Xiang said, looking around and pointing into the distance. "Look. This is the Asteroid Belt, full of countless small Meteors. It's the perfect place to refine Star Pills."

Although there were numerous asteroids here, besides Ceres, the rest weren't worth mentioning. Therefore, they could only be used for weapon refinement and weren't suitable as resources for the women's advancement.

So, the seven women stood guard for him while Li Xiang began to concentrate on forging his Divine Soldier. He activated his Crystal Gold Armor, reached out, and grabbed a Meteor weighing several million tons. In just ten minutes or so, he had compressed it to the size of a grape.

About five days later, Li Xiang had refined a full one hundred Star Pills, each weighing ten million tons. Each one was the size of a ping-pong ball.

As his Realm and strength increased, his Crystal Gold Armor had also developed many wondrous abilities. These Star Pills were actually a set. Besides being used individually, they could also combine into a long rod. Li Xiang gave it a name: the Star Pillar-Breaking Stick. Combined, it weighed a billion tons. Its own Tier was also at the Divine King Level.

"Brother, you're amazing! You can actually forge a Divine King-level Divine Soldier." They all gazed at him with admiration, their eyes glistening with an enchanting pity.

Li Xiang, feeling a warm buzz from the praise, waved his hand humbly. "It's because you were all with me. I was in a good mood and had good luck, so I was fortunate enough to create a Divine King-level Spiritual Soldier. Under normal circumstances, you'd be lucky to get one Divine King-level item out of a hundred attempts. Most of the others would be Divine Tier or Saint Tier."

Of course, Li Xiang could also forge weapons below the Saint Tier using inferior materials in less time.

But Divine Level and Divine King Level weapons had very high material requirements. It was only here in the Asteroid Belt, with its endless Meteors hiding many rare metals—many of which didn't exist on Earth—that all the factors came together to allow him to forge this one.

The Star Pillar-Breaking Stick. A single strike unleashed an Attack Power of god-knows-how-many billion tons, truly capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas.

The weight of Taishan, according to scientific calculations, is about three hundred billion tons. Li Xiang was confident that a single swing of his stick could shatter it. Of course, this was just an analogy. On Earth, as the Master of Earth, he wouldn't need to use such brute force. A single thought would be enough to make Taishan crack open, or even reshape it at will.

But out here in the universe, where it wasn't his home turf, he didn't have access to those kinds of Divine Techniques.

The mass of Earth is approximately 600 quintillion tons. As the Master of Earth who also possessed a Moon Clone, his own body, even by itself, wielded trillions of tons of Giant Power. Using a one-billion-ton stick wasn't excessive at all. He could fully execute all sorts of exquisite staff techniques: wielding the heavy as if it were light, the light as if it were heavy, blending hardness and softness, and freely switching between solid and scattered forms.

"Freely switching between solid and scattered forms" meant that during combat, the weapon could switch at will between its rod and Star Pill forms, often catching the enemy by surprise.

Of course, the current density of his Star Pills was still far from that of a neutron star.

A neutron star has an extremely high density, ranging from 8 x 101? to 2 x 101? grams per cubic centimeter (that's 800 million to 2 billion tons). His ping-pong-ball-sized Star Pills only weighed ten million tons each.

Li Xiang's previous weapons and Armor, such as the Profound Iron Mountain-Removal Rod, the Giant Whale Saint Armor, and the White Jade Golden Hook Rod, had all been passed down to his children. For the children who didn't like such heavy weapons, Li Xiang would specially select or forge suitable Spiritual Soldiers for them. With his abilities, he could always satisfy his children's wishes, whether it was for Spiritual Soldiers, Battle Armor, or even some minor Extraordinary Accessories.
