Xu Sheng and Cheng Xiao oversaw the mining of Body Tempering Milk on Ancient Ape Star. Lin Yi and Xiyue arrived unexpectedly, revealing Xiyue's dramatically increased power, which stunned Cheng Xiao. Cheng Xiao, disheartened by the power gap, considered the benefits of clinging to Lin Yi. He then presented Lin Yi with a sample of the Body Tempering Milk, explaining its significant effects on enhancing attributes.

In essence, the introduction of the Elemental Spirit Crystal served as a significant boost for non-mage vocations.

While this presented a boon for non-mage professionals, it proved to be quite a challenge for mages.

Fortunately, the advent of Body Tempering Milk provided a solution to this imbalance.

Following trials conducted by Cheng Xiao and other mage professionals, it was observed that Body Tempering Milk effectively harmonized the attribute discrepancies found across various professions.

Let's consider tank classes and mage classes as a prime example.

The defining strengths of tank professionals lie in their substantial health points and robust dual resistances.

Given their vocational demands, extensive skill casting isn't typically required; their primary role is to occupy the front lines. Consequently, mana value and magic attack represent the most underdeveloped attributes for tank classes.

However, upon consumption of Body Tempering Milk, these specific attributes experience a progressive enhancement.

For tank professionals, the spell attack and mana value gradually begin to align with their existing life points and dual resistances.

To put it more plainly, this process involves elevating weaker attributes to match the highest ones.

For tank professionals, the utility of Body Tempering Milk might be somewhat limited, as the surplus of mana and spell attack doesn't translate into significant benefits; the skill multipliers remain constant, rendering high values somewhat superfluous.

But for mage classes, it is an undeniable blessing.

Compared to other professions, mages possess exceptionally amplified spell attack and mana values.

To achieve peak output in actual combat scenarios, these two attributes are often pushed to extraordinary levels for mages.

As long as mages ingest sufficient quantities of Body Tempering Milk, it offers them an enhancement of epic proportions.

By boasting a constitution that rivals that of tanks, they gain a substantial margin for error during battles, thus eliminating their vulnerability to surprise assaults from the Assassin class.

After relaying this information, Cheng Xiao let out a helpless sigh.

"What a shame, Lin Yi, that for most others this Body Tempering Milk is a beneficial item, but for you, its utility is questionable. You stand as the sole exception across all of Blue Star, possessing remarkably balanced attributes. Contemplating this actually lifts my spirits."

In response to Cheng Xiao's observation, Lin Yi offered a faint smile.

"It's merely a matter of attributes; even a slight deficiency won't exert a significant influence.

After all, fundamental attributes contribute the least to combat effectiveness proportionality."

For War Goddess Xiyue, who wields mastery over the Law of Destruction, her offensive power is immense, yet her physical form is comparatively frail.

Following her consumption of Body Tempering Milk, her attributes showed a marked and visible improvement.

Her life points and dual resistances began to escalate at a rapid pace.

For a fleeting moment, he could not conceal the elation on his face.

Without exaggeration, Xiyue's current attributes suggest that her stepping onto the front lines as a warrior is not an improbable feat.

Naturally, Lin Yi's primary objective on this excursion was not to ascertain the efficacy of Body Tempering Milk.

The true reason for his personal journey to the Ancient Ape Star was the star core, concealed deep within the planet's crust.

Lin Yi had previously informed Cheng Xiao about the existence of the star core.

Upon receiving this news, Cheng Xiao solidified his resolve.

Believing Lin Yi's training in the frigid Antarctic ice cave had been arduous, he, as a War God who commanded the Supreme Law, considered exerting additional effort to assist Lin Yi in bringing the star core back to Blue Star.

Unexpectedly, upon personally witnessing the star core at Lin Yi's designated coordinates, Cheng Xiao felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

The Power of the Primordial enveloping the star core was on par with the energy encountered on Set.

A single glance was enough to deter Cheng Xiao.

The disparity between individuals doesn't greatly manifest in Lin Yi; it's not a matter of comparison, but rather that Lin Yi, as the paramount being, is capable of claiming the star core, which is entirely reasonable.

It was only upon observing the individual attempting to claim the star core that Cheng Xiao was rendered speechless.

"Impossible, Lin Yi, are you certain you're not jesting? The Power of the Primordial is bound to that star core; you must sense that power's hostility towards us. While it may be permissible for you to take it, allowing Xiyue to proceed would be akin to sending her to her demise."

Lin Yi offered no verbal reply to Cheng Xiao's query.

He turned his gaze towards Xiyue and posed the question.

"Do you wish to attempt it? There is indeed peril involved, but with me by your side, no harm will befall you."

Xiyue responded with a nod.

Since acquiring the ability to seamlessly integrate the five elements, she had yet to fully utilize this power.

The enhancement of her strength was intended to support Lin Yi, providing him with an added layer of security as he ascended to the higher dimension.

Therefore, Xiyue also sought a definitive understanding of her own capabilities.

Attempting to secure the star core presented an excellent opportunity for practical application.

Having been rejuvenated by Lin Yi's application of the Creation Law, Xu Sheng's physical condition had seen remarkable improvement.

As the Alliance Leader of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, he felt compelled to investigate the true nature of the star core.

Thus, he trailed Lin Yi and his entourage into the depths of the Ancient Ape Star's underground. There, they discovered a translucent stone block enveloped in a white luminescence.

Even so, Cheng Xiao's eyes remained fixed on Xiyue with a lingering sense of doubt.

He struggled to comprehend how Xiyue, who had not yet grasped the Power of the Primordial, dared to lay hands on such an object.

Absolute suppression by the Law, even with a significant surge in her strength, would typically forbid her from doing so.

That is, until Xiyue conjured the combined essence of her internal source power and the Five Elements.

"No, this is utterly impossible!"

Why do I sense the influence of the Elemental King within you?

As the wielder of the Truth Law, Cheng Xiao was acutely aware of the immense difficulty humans faced in controlling elemental forces.

Generally, mastering a single element was considered a remarkable feat.

To even fuse two elements for practical use would undoubtedly mark someone as a prodigy.

But to utilize a fusion of all five elements? Does she believe herself to be the Elemental King?

The reason that particular individual could command five elements was intrinsically linked to his very nature, being a part of the elements themselves.

Does associating with Lin Yi elevate one's standing to such a degree?

Gazing at the swirling greyish-white light radiating from Xiyue's palm, Cheng Xiao involuntarily swallowed.

The vivid memory of being pummeled by the Elemental King's Chaos Black Thunder on Elemental Star remained etched in his mind. The terror instilled by that Chaos Black Thunder persisted, an unyielding fear that lingered even after the obliteration of Elemental Star.

It was no wonder Cheng Xiao had such a forceful reaction upon witnessing Xiyue employ Meteor Glow.

"The power attained by the strongest, through a lifetime of hard-won insights, is the very courage Xiyue now wields to defy the Power of the Primordial!"

Under Xiyue's focused mental command, the Meteor Glow coalesced, transforming into a glove of greyish-white light that encased her arm.

With unwavering resolve, Xiyue grasped the star core, her hand now shielded by the Meteor Glow.

Just as Lin Yi had anticipated, the overwhelming Power of the Primordial did not immediately obliterate the might of the five-element fusion.

Though destined to be consumed in the face of the formidable Power of the Primordial, the Meteor Glow tenaciously regenerated, acting as a continuous shield. It ensured Xiyue's absolute safety while she held the star core, preventing any harm from reaching her.
