Chapter 518: 363rd! The Most Promising Demigod

Chapter 518: 363rd! The Most Promising Demigod

Inside another ultra-large mansion, within a combat space.

A towering, bare-chested man was darting around in this space. Occasionally, beams of light would fall from the void, each carrying astonishing power and moving at incredible speeds, even affecting the space around them.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” The muscular man moved like a swimmer, invoking the subtle Spatial Law, causing the space to continuously distort and allowing him to dodge the beams of light.

He was Stone Qing, a renowned genius on Source Mars.

This was one of his methods for cultivating the Spatial Law.

Suddenly.

“Sss~” Despite his efforts, a beam of light struck the muscular man, causing him to be hit hard and come to an immediate stop.

The countless beams of light flickering in the space instantly disappeared.

“Failed again?”

“The ‘Annihilation Light’ technique my teacher imparted is truly difficult to master. At this rate, how long will it take me to pass the 12 realms of the Nine Heavens Palace?” Stone Qing frowned. “Not to mention the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm.”

The 12 realms of the Nine Heavens Palace represented the pinnacle of True God-level Law comprehension.

The tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm represented the threshold of True God-level combat power.

“I need to work even harder.”

“I’m not even three hundred years old yet.”

“With my teacher’s guidance, if I go to the Spatial Divine Ruin for cultivation in a few days, I have a good chance of achieving this before I turn five hundred.” Stone Qing thought to himself. “What Zephyr can do, I have a chance of doing as well.”

His goal had always been Zephyr.

Even after Zephyr broke through to the True God realm, he continued to use Zephyr’s achievements to motivate himself.

“Someday, I will rebuild the Divine Kingdom and help countless of my people return home.” Stone Qing clenched his teeth, with endless longing in his heart.

His homeland’s Divine Kingdom had been occupied, and countless of his people had been displaced. The enemy’s power was too great, and they had seized control through the ‘fair’ means of the Divine Court, leaving his people with no way to resist.

By the time he was born, it had been over ten thousand years.

Even though the first generation of his people had almost all died out, through generations of inheritance, his clan still held onto the dream of ‘rebuilding the Divine Kingdom and returning home.’

As a Purple Robed Demigod on Source Mars, he was the hope of countless of his people.

“Currently, among the dozens of Purple Robed Demigods, the only one I need to surpass is Blood Universe.” Stone Qing pondered.

Suddenly.

Stone Qing stopped, having received a message from a close friend through his identity token. He immediately checked it.

“Huh?”

“Li Yuan passed the ninth level of the Sourcefire Realm? Ranked first? How is that possible!” Stone Qing couldn’t believe it. “Fifty years ago, he only passed the seventh level of the Sourcefire Realm and the ninth realm of the Nine Heavens Palace, right?”

“How could his strength improve so quickly?”

For top-tier Demigods like them, enhancing their strength fundamentally came down to two aspects.

Either their Star Veins broke through, boosting their base Source Energy and allowing them to cultivate more powerful Star Techniques.

Or their Law comprehension broke through, enabling them to master stronger combat secret techniques.

Stone Qing’s recent rise to fame was due to breakthroughs in both his Star Veins and Law comprehension.

“But according to the intelligence I have, fifty years ago, he was already a Nine-star Vein Demigod.” Stone Qing was shocked. “Could it be he didn’t cultivate ‘Law Heaven Earth’ back then?”

“Moreover, he’s still attempting it?” Stone Qing glanced at the last piece of information in the message.

Swish!

Stone Qing couldn’t sit still anymore and transformed into a beam of light, quickly flying toward the Sourcefire Realm.

Soon after.

Stone Qing arrived outside the Sourcefire Realm. By this time, more than five hundred Golden Robe Demigods and even more Silver Robe Demigods had gathered here upon receiving the news.

“Stone Qing is here.” Many people looked at him.

“Is this Stone Qing?” Some Silver Robe and Golden Robe Demigods who hadn’t seen him before also looked over.

Whoosh!

Stone Qing landed at the front of the group and immediately spotted Blood Universe Demigod.

“You’re here?” Blood Universe Demigod smiled.

“You’re here too?” Stone Qing said in a low voice. “How long has he been on the ninth level?”

Passing the ninth level but not emerging meant he was attempting the tenth level.

The longer he stayed on the tenth level, the higher the chances of success.

“A long time.” Blood Universe Demigod said. “I also came here after receiving the news.”

Stone Qing Demigod nodded.

At that moment.

“What’s going on?”

“Why do I feel the ground trembling?” Some members of the Sourcefire Realm noticed something unusual.

“It’s the Sourcefire Realm!”

“The Sourcefire Realm is moving.” More members of the Sourcefire Realm detected the source of the anomaly.

“Rumble~” Starting from the first level of the Sourcefire Realm, a brilliant firelight suddenly burst forth, followed by the second level, third level… the entire Sourcefire Realm was subtly trembling and radiating endless light.

“The Sourcefire is surging.”

“Has someone passed through?”

“The tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm! Someone has passed the tenth level.”

“It’s Li Yuan!” All members of the Sourcefire Realm were stunned. Such an anomaly only occurred when a member of the Sourcefire Realm passed the tenth level.

Throughout the history of the Sourcefire Realm, on average, a world-class genius would only appear once every ten thousand years.

But these Sourcefire Realm members never imagined that, in just a few decades, they would witness such a genius twice.

A few decades ago, Zephyr successfully breached the tenth floor of the Sourcefire Realm.

Today, Li Yuan succeeded again.

In the billions of years of Sourcefire Realm history, the probability of two world-class geniuses emerging in a short time is very low.

"Breached the tenth floor?" Stone Qing was completely stunned.

If Li Yuan only breached the ninth floor of the Sourcefire Realm, then even if his ranking was higher than his... he still had the courage to chase.

But the tenth floor? It means his strength has far surpassed mine.

"Tenth floor?"

"Li Yuan's strength, has already surpassed the previous Zephyr?" Blood Universe Half-Deity was also shocked.

But Blood Universe Half-Deity soon calmed down and said, "Stone Qing, Li yuan's progress speed is faster than we imagined. I think you should give up and not compete with him."

"Given Li yuan's natural talent, even in the history of the Divine Court, I'm afraid only those with ten-star veins could surpass him."

Stone Qing fell silent.

Previously, he thought that Li yuan could still catch up with himself after some years.

But he never imagined that in just fifty years, the other had completely surpassed him.

And far surpassed him.

Being able to breach the tenth floor of the Sourcefire Realm, even if he cultivated the 'Law Heaven Earth', also represents a law insight comparable to Peak True deities.

Such an achievement completely surpasses stone Qing's imagination.

After a long time.

"In the Demigod realm, I am not as good as him," Stone Qing said in a low voice and turned to leave.

Blood Universe Half-Deity showed a smile.

He understood stone Qing's character, to have the other personally admit being inferior to Li Yuan was rare.

"Stone Qing is not as good as Li Yuan." Blood Universe Half-Deity sighed in his heart, "I, am not as good as him either."

"I have cultivated for nearly five hundred years, yet I am not as good as the other who has cultivated for a hundred years." Blood Universe Half-Deity shook his head.

He was also a world-class genius of the Divine Court, personally taken in by the Sky god monarch... but compared to Li Yuan, he was somewhat dimmed.

...

Outside of the Source Mars, in that huge palace.

When Li Yuan breached the tenth floor of the Sourcefire Realm, the five Great Heaven Deities responsible for managing Source Mars also received the news at the same time.

And with their authority, they could rewatch the battle scene between Li Yuan and the tenth floor's guardian.

A huge screen appeared, and the five Heaven Deities all watched.

"Such a strong domain secret technique."

"Such a formidable spear technique!" The five Heaven Deities were all amazed.

In the battle scene.

Similarly, thirty-six puppets joined forces, each puppet extremely powerful, capable of easily annihilating a peak void deity... even if Li Yuan deployed his domain, he could only suppress them but not defeat them.

Both sides fought fiercely.

In the end, it was only after Li yuan's all-out efforts, using the Silver Moon Divine Spear to exhibit an extremely strong spear technique, after a long battle, that he barely managed to defeat the combined forces of dozens of puppets.

"His spear technique is much stronger than fifty years ago, from the initial true deity level to the peak true deity level?"

"Going to breach the Nine Heavens Palace 12th realm, there is probably hope to breach it."

" Cultivated too fast."

" Progressed too fast, he's only a hundred years old?"

" When my sword technique was as good as his spear technique, I had already cultivated for ten thousand years." These Heaven deities sighed.

To become a Heaven Deity, each has extraordinary natural talent.

But even with their perspective, they had some doubts... how could Li Yuan progress so fast?

Actually, they were not wrong... if Li Yuan did not obtain the Spatial Star Emperor Fruit, it would indeed be difficult for law insight to have such a qualitative change.

"His law talent is even more exaggerated than his star vein talent."

"Such cultivation speed, before becoming a deity, he might have a Heaven Deity level insight." The towering Ling Wei Heavenly Deity said in a low voice, "If things go well, I fear the Chaos Divine Court will give birth to another divine lord existence."

None of the few Heaven deities present contradicted.

A divine lord is a dominant existence among Heaven deities... each is renowned.

If a half-deity could have a heaven deity level insight, such a world-class genius, in the history of the divine court, is the first tier of genius, as long as they don't die, the lowest achievement is a 'divine lord'.

"He should have breached the eleventh floor." Ling Wei Heavenly deity smiled, "This should let him truly experience the heaven deity level techniques."

" Hmm."

" Heaven deity techniques." Many of the heaven deities laughed.

In the public intelligence, the Source fire realm only has ten floors... but these heaven deity managers know.

The Sourcefire Realm, in fact, is similar to the Heartdream Path, with twelve floors, but the last two floors are not public.

Only those who breach the tenth floor of the Sourcefire Realm can access the secret of the eleventh floor.

...

The tenth floor of the Sourcefire Realm is actually a small world.

Endless expanse, stretching for thousands of miles, it is probably larger than the combined battle spaces of the first nine floors.

" Won."

" Breached the tenth floor, which means my strength has truly reached the true deity level.

Li Yuan felt an immense sense of satisfaction: "And I managed to do it with material means alone."

Back in the Northern Hill Mortal Realm, he had needed the help of Raging Engine True God to defeat Chiyuan True God.

But now.

Li Yuan was confident that if he unleashed both material and soul attacks, he could potentially kill Chiyuan True God, or at the very least, not fear him.

"Passing the tenth level means thoroughly clearing the Sourcefire Realm; it's time to leave." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Suddenly.

"Swish~" In the vast expanse of the distant world, a slender figure wearing a purple mask appeared. He carried a war blade on his back, exuding an extremely powerful aura. He smiled at Li Yuan, his voice echoing through the small world: "Divine Son Li Yuan, congratulations. You are the 83,489th half-god in the history of Source Mars to clear the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm."

"I am the guardian of the eleventh level. You can call me 'North Chaos.'" The slender figure smiled.

Li Yuan was taken aback.

The eleventh level?

"Isn't the highest level in the Sourcefire Realm the tenth?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The first ten levels are for regular members of Source Mars to clear," the slender figure smiled. "The last two levels are reserved for the absolute prodigies in the history of the Divine Court."

"You don't have the right to know about the eleventh level unless you clear the tenth."

"Clearing the tenth level indicates that your strength has reached the threshold of a True God."

"But if you defeat me and clear the eleventh level, it means you have the strength of an Early True Deity." The slender figure smiled.

Li Yuan's pupils constricted. True strength of an Early True Deity?

The threshold of a True God refers to newly ascended True Gods. Such True Gods, when facing Early True Deities, can usually only withstand a few moves before being defeated.

"In the history of the Divine Court, only 363 Source Mars members have defeated me. I hope Divine Son Li Yuan, you can become the 364th." The slender figure laughed.

Li Yuan's heart sank.

It was known that in the history of the Chaos Divine Court, 3,829 Divine Kings had been born. This meant that most Divine Kings, when they were half-gods, had failed to clear the eleventh level of the Sourcefire Realm.

The difficulty was unimaginable.

"Then let me try." Li Yuan didn't hesitate. With one step, he immediately unleashed the Law Heaven Earth technique.

His body instantly transformed into a towering figure three kilometers tall.

Boom!

Domain Star Techniques and secret techniques erupted simultaneously, creating a vast river of starlight that seemed to obliterate the world, sweeping towards the slender figure wearing the purple mask.

Under the domain, the void was filled with numerous spatial rifts.

"Excellent Star Technique! Excellent secret technique!" The slender figure smiled, then pointed at Li Yuan from a distance.

Instantly.

A vast wave of law fluctuations descended, the surrounding world faintly solidifying. Countless earth-yellow rays of light were born, possessing boundless power. The rays converged, circling the slender figure, as if a massive star were being born.

"Rumble~" This star rapidly expanded, like a vortex crushing everything, effortlessly dismantling Li Yuan's domain.

Layer by layer, it was obliterated.

"What? His domain?" Surprise flashed across Li Yuan's face. "The power of the source he wields is almost on par with mine... This is the complete Earth Law."

"It's the Palm Law Realm!" Li Yuan instantly understood.

The guardian of the eleventh level had mastered the complete Earth Law.

This was the realm of a Heaven Deity.

Heaven Deities, at the tenth stage of the Palm Law Realm, must have thoroughly comprehended one of the Great Dao Laws.

Boom!

"Kill!" Li Yuan's figure moved like lightning, flashing over a thousand kilometers in an instant. His eyes gleamed with madness as he unleashed his strongest move.

Swish!

The Silver Moon Divine Spear thrust forward, the spear body faintly twisting, the spear tip containing terrifying suction force, instantly shattering space layer by layer, converging towards the spear tip.

Like a black hole sucking everything in, it maximized its power, directly piercing towards the slender figure.

The first move of the Illusory Mind Divine Canon—Black Hole Heart!

"Divine Son Li Yuan."

"Without thoroughly comprehending a fundamental Great Dao Law, or without elevating the Spatial Law to the tenth stage, it's impossible to defeat me." The slender figure smiled. "Not to mention you're only at the nine-star veins! Even if you were a ten-star vein half-god, you could at most maintain a draw."

He still didn't move, confident that he could completely suppress Li Yuan's all-out attack with just his domain techniques.

But the next moment.

"Hmm? Something's not right!" The slender figure sensed something amiss, his eyes flashing with shock: "Soul attack?"

Rumble!

As the terrifying spear thrust forward.

A terrifying soul fluctuation, like a vast dark world, surged like a tide, invading his soul consciousness.

Even though he sensed something wrong, he still fell into a state of unconsciousness.

ps: Apologies for last night. I'm currently in the hospital waiting for test results. I'm not sure if I can continue updates for a while, so I might take an extended break. I just wanted to let you know.
