Martial Ascent to Divinity

The sky was filled with black tree roots that wrapped around Benjamin’s corpse, returning it to the ground.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Leng sensed a disturbance in the direction of the entrance and exit, glanced at the Frost Giant Tree, and quickly ran over.

Everything seemed normal.

After checking several times, there was still no change.

It was probably an earthquake in the Fierce Beast world.

Zhou Leng returned, once again looking at the bundle beneath the tree trunk.

All the unused blood of ancient beasts from all the Ten Realms was gone.

But the three drops placed here were still there.

Which made him zone out for a while just now.

The power level of the Ascension Divinity Ladder is unimaginable.

Yet it couldn’t affect this place, indicating that Elder Tree’s identity is more terrifying than imagined.

However, right now his own cultivation is the most important.

So he continued cultivating the Ten Reversed Beast Fist, and proceeded to cultivate at the Gate of Purgatory.

This time, it was even more frenzied than before.

All for the sake of absorbing the thirtieth drop of ancient beast blood.

After the cultivation, he went to the Mammoth tribe as the Eight-toothed Mammoth chieftain to cultivate in the three sacred lakes of Fierce Beast clans.

These were the Sacred Lake of Ten Thousand Bones, Sacred Lake of Blood God, and Sacred Lake of Starry Sky.

Previously he thought he had reached his limit, but after cultivating in the three sacred lakes, his strength rose again by a notch.

It seems the true limit had yet to be reached.

The new demigod level is crucial.

This is the foundation for a demigod or Martial Saint.

Many newly advanced demigods or Martial Saints often need to stay for several years or even over a decade, truly refining to the limit, before continuing to advance.

Zhou Leng had always thought of the Three Sons of Ancient River, always feeling that at his Martial Saint stage, he must keep up with them.

If he couldn’t be infinitely close to the Three Sons of Ancient River before advancing, it would mean prematurely exhausting his potential, making it extremely difficult to ascend to a Void God or even True God.

Senior sister Shen Yunxian had described the power limits of the Three Sons of Ancient River when newly advanced to Martial Saints.

All three of them, before advancing to Lower Martial Saints, obtained divine technique bodies.

The divine technique body of eldest brother Guan Canglong is the Great Destruction Tribulation Dragon Body.

The divine technique body of second sister Shen Yunxian is the Myriad Clouds True Body.

The divine technique body of third brother Qu Xinghan is the Vacuum Sword Body.

Obtaining a divine technique body as a newly advanced Martial Saint is also the foundation for a "Cosmic State-level" genius.

Without a divine technique body, it is forever impossible to compete for the higher Celestial Region-level genius.

After returning from the sacred lakes and finishing cultivation once again under the Frost Giant Tree, Zhou Leng stood up.

"It’s time to head to the Dragon Race and the Giant Race."

Earlier, Zhou Leng had obtained the "Dragon Transformation Egg" qualification from the Dragon Race and the "Boundless Ancient Road" qualification from the Giants.

Now it was just the right time to use them.

He left the world of Fierce Beasts, contacted the envoys of both races, and scheduled the trial.

At the same time, he instructed them that he would sneak in using other powers, without needing both races to sacrifice to tear open the Two Realms Barrier.

Both parties knew of his relationship with the Blood of Tyranny, yet said nothing, reporting immediately.

Zhou Leng’s appearance and departure were normal for many forces.

But for the Demon Worship Sect, it was catastrophic.

The blood-red hall underground in the Black Hall.

Twelve people sat on thirteen chairs.

The central main seat was empty.

"Where is Benjamin?"

"What happened?"

"We’ve been waiting for news, yet Zhou Leng is as usual, but Benjamin..."

"Could he be in seclusion cultivating, or perhaps discovered some secret and is acquiring it?"

"Very likely."

The twelve Martial Saints exchanged glances.

None of them were naive; words could be spoken recklessly but not believed recklessly.

But what else could be done? They couldn’t declare that a dignified Upper-Rank Martial Saint was dead without evidence.

Died without a trace.

"Could it be the work of the Dragon Country?"

"Impossible, such a level of Martial Saint battle, there’s no way there wouldn’t be the slightest news."

"Although after the Zhao Palace incident, the Supreme Court purged many of our people, some remain undercover. If Dragon Country Martial Saints were involved, they would risk their lives to send back the intel. But, Dragon Country is currently calm."

"There is someone on Blue Star capable of dealing with Lord Benjamin silently."

"The Blood of Tyranny? Very likely him! A sneak attack or using a special divine artifact, he could definitely do it!"

"The Blood of Tyranny has always been a disciple of Ancient River Sect, and coincidentally, it was during the Ancient River Sect ceremony, so the two could very well have met..."

"Report to the Lords, esteemed Lord Benjamin is very likely to have been assassinated by the Blood of Tyranny."

"Aren’t you jumping to conclusions without any evidence?" a newly advanced Martial Saint questioned.

The other Martial Saints looked at the newly advanced one.

"Oh? If it’s not the Blood of Tyranny’s doing, then whose responsibility is it?"

The newly advanced Martial Saint suddenly realized, it wasn’t that they were impetuous, it was he who was naive.

"It must be the Blood of Tyranny!" he said decisively.

Soon, they submitted the results to the Demon Purgatory.

The Lord and all demigods in the Demon Purgatory were outraged, especially those whose friends or subordinates had been killed by the Blood of Tyranny.

They had tolerated the Blood of Tyranny for many years.

Now even the first hierarch of the Demon Worship Sect, Benjamin, was killed?

He was the commander of Demon Purgatory on Blue Star.

A crucial figure in the battle landscape of the Ten Realms.

Unforgivable.

Several Lords of Demon Purgatory and the demigods joined forces to pressure the Sea Demon World.

The Sea Demon World, which already had many demigods opposed to the Blood of Tyranny, was extremely vigilant of this Half-blood Sea Siren, covertly sparing no effort to suppress him.

Now with the Demon Purgatory Lord speaking directly, they no longer hid.

Thus, many demigods of the Sea Demon joined forces to raid the Sea Palace of the Blood of Tyranny.

The Blood of Tyranny was severely injured and fled, with his subordinates scattering.

Shortly afterward, chaos erupted in the Sea Demon World.

The Blood of Tyranny launched a new round of hunting, but this time the targets changed from Grandmasters to demigods.

A reign of blood terror swept through the Sea Demon World.

Not long after, the Demon Purgatory demigods went mad.

Because the Blood of Tyranny, believing that Demon Purgatory framed him, secretly infiltrated Demon Purgatory, launching a massacre.

Not only did he kill demigods, but he also obliterated large swathes of tribes and cities.

What rules of the Ten Realms, what prohibition on demigods slaughtering mortals, none of that worked in front of the Blood of Tyranny.

The primary fiend, feared across the Ten Realms, had returned.

Just before the Sea Demon World fell into chaos, Zhou Leng arrived at Dragon Mountain.

The Dragon Race held a grand banquet.

Many demigod giant dragons who were in seclusion cultivation also made appearances, giving plenty of face.

The reason was simple, the Dragon God combat techniques provided by Zhou Leng were too powerful.

A few demigod giant dragons who had mastered them, turned from being equally matched to overpowering previously equivalent demigod giants, with an improvement in combat power that was more than marginal.

Battle reports can lie, but battle lines cannot.

The war line of the two races had already advanced a full thousand kilometers in the direction of the giants, and this was with the giant dragons showing restraint to prevent the giants from going mad, intending to nibble away bit by bit.

Now, they wanted to continue extracting the remaining Dragon God combat techniques from Zhou Leng.

Red Eyes transformed into human form again, in a very intimate manner, held Zhou Leng’s arm the entire banquet, posing as his companion.

Many male demigod giant dragons were heartbroken, but when they thought of obtaining the Dragon God combat techniques, they smiled once more.

Many female demigod giant dragons were conflicted, the good news was Red Eyes wasn’t competing with them for male dragons, the bad news was she took away Zhou Leng, who was even more valuable than male dragons.

The status of Red Eyes in the Dragon Race rose with Zhou Leng’s tide.
