Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 476: Another domain? Is there cat girls?

"Another domain, huh?" Grey asked, curiosity sparking in his eyes.

"Correct, another domain. It shocked me too when I learned of it. However, they truly exist and wield immense power. At this moment, every alliance we've built with alien races is uniting to battle them."

"On the topic of alliances, which races precisely are our allies?" Grey questioned.

"Our allies include the Elves, Dwarves, Werewolves, and Demi-Humans with their vast array of sub-races. Don't forget the Sea Clan dwelling in divine water celestial bodies. They rarely show themselves publicly, yet we share a strong bond with them."

"Demi-Humans... such as cat girls?" Grey blinked. "Why aren't they fully integrated into the Human Alliance? Wasn't the alliance's founder himself a half-mecha entity?"

"Before our founder rose to prominence, Demi-Humans faced heavy prejudice. That's why they've kept their own separate alliance, even prior to the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance's creation. Today, their group thrives equally to ours."

"Cat girls truly exist, then," Grey muttered to himself.

"..." Why was this guy so fixated on cat girls?

Yet, he struck her as a vigorous young man in perfect health, making such fancies hardly out of place.

A pensive look crossed Grey's face. He momentarily envisioned Valeria and Lia clad in cat girl attire, then rapidly shoved aside those risky imaginings.

"Back to the key matter. What evolutionary paths do these fresh foes follow?"

Serious looks passed between the ancestors prior to their answer. "From our intel, that domain has just a single path, called the Origin Body Evolutionary Path."

"It's a deeply mysterious system, utterly unknown in our cosmic region."

"Their physical bodies form the core of their strength. They sculpt forms rivaling stars in size via Gene Optimization. Instead of an elixir field or mana core, they harbor a reservoir of Gene Optimization Fluid. This liquid drives their bodies to balloon massively, bestowing staggering genetic might."

"At the 5th Rank, they grow to planetary scale. Known as the Planetary State, it leads into the Star State, Multi-Star State, Star Lord State, Galaxy King State, Galaxy Nova State, and ultimately the Universal State."

"Those initial three stages mark the 5th Rank. Star Lord denotes a 6th Ranker. Galaxy King hits the 7th rank, Galaxy Nova state crowns the 7th rank's pinnacle, while Universal State claims the 8th Rank."

"Raw power gets gauged purely by body dimensions. Take a Multi-Star State evolver: their frame spans a complete light-year. A Galaxy King stretches to a mind-boggling hundred thousand light-years."

"Fascinating." Genuine awe filled Grey at this info. The Origin Body Evolutionary Path proved even wilder than he'd anticipated.

"By the way, what precise names apply to the 6th, 7th, and 8th Ranks on the Immortal Path? You pursue the Immortal Path yourself, right, Senior?" Grey queried, eyeing the Yellow Ancestor. He recalled the elder and his spouse both walked that cultivation path.

"Yep."

"You probably know already, but from the 6th Rank onward, no standard, universal breakthrough or advancement method exists."

"Progress up to the 5th Rank stays fully scripted and steered by the Origin Will. That guidance vanishes once you solidly link to the universe—termed the First Transcendence. Beyond that, each person's path turns wholly personal."

"Free from the Origin Will’s rigid hidden evolution laws, the cultivation road splinters endlessly. That's why it's broadly termed the 6th Rank."

"So, what form does it take specifically on the Immortal Path?"

"They harness their Mahayana Essence," the Yellow Ancestor detailed, a faint smile playing on his lips. "As an immortal cultivator, my present 8th Rank phase is the Immortal Seed Realm. Next arrives the Heaven Trampling Realm, where a cultivator's simple presence warps reality's weave."

"For the earlier levels, 6th Rank bears the official name Mahayana Realm, and 7th Rank is the Immortal Fire Realm."

"In the Mahayana Realm, cultivators harness the Mahayana Essence grown within their inner immortal grotto to forge a Cosmos Spiritual Spark. This spark mimics a tiny dying star confined deep in their soul. Advancement demands pulling in the spiritual essence from heaven and earth via the deliberate collapse of this inner star. By enduring a supernova raging inside their own body, they demolish physical and spiritual boundaries, propelling themselves to the Great Circle stage. Afterward, those fractured pieces ignite into a Heavenly Fire that incinerates their past karma and causality, kindled by their mortal past. This blaze then merges with the essence of the Heavenly Dao. Upon reaching the 7th Rank, they reshape a world’s laws eternally just by voicing a fresh concept into being."

"Regarding the Immortal Seed... you’ll discover it once you attain that stage," the Yellow Ancestor chuckled. "The 8th Rank functions on an entirely distinct cosmic level."

With the discussion centered on transcendent powers, Grey also inquired about the Martial Path.

"For a martial artist to attain the 6th Rank, dubbed the Incarnation Realm, they apply tremendous metaphysical pressure to their inner core," the Yellow Ancestor explained. "They trigger an eruption of their Boundary Core, intertwining the released True Energy and their bound martial law into a Conceptual Vessel. It typically assumes the form of the weapon they’ve refined so far, crafting a transcendent weapon essence they summon to obliterate foes."

"In the 7th Rank, the Sovereign Martial Realm, they explode that Conceptual Vessel. Its martial weapon form disperses straight into the Heavenly Dao, blending their personal will with the universe’s supreme laws. Essentially, they transform into a heavenly living martial weapon. Combat shifts beyond simple physical moves. They wield Dictates. A 7th Rank martial artist targets abstract concepts instead of tangible targets. At their zenith, they shatter the notion of distance to traverse galaxies in an instant, and they bind completely to their selected law, rendering them almost impossible to kill for good."
