Martial Ascent to Divinity

Inside the body, a torrent surged.

The result was good, but the process was a bit strange.

The skin didn’t grow Dragon Scales, but the blood vessels inside and out were covered with microstructures similar to Dragon Scales.

The blood within shimmered with specks of silver light, looking like starlight mixed in at first glance.

The structure of many blood cells also showed subtle changes.

Zhou Leng even had the illusion that his blood cells were transforming in the direction of the stars.

The enhancement of new blood vessels and blood meant that the body could gather more Power in a shorter time.

First, the blood was slowly circulated to get used to the new body, moving forward step by step.

At the beginning, because it was unfamiliar, the body swayed slightly.

After walking a dozen steps, the pace became smoother and smoother.

The Demigod Giant Dragons seeing this were full of disappointment.

Especially Red Eyes, whose smile stiffened, the husband in hand had flown away.

The Dragon Priest was not discouraged, asking, "Your Excellency, how do you feel?"

"Excellent," Zhou Leng replied.

"During the transformation to a dragon, was there anything peculiar?" he continued to probe.

"Peculiar changes? Yes, my blood vessels have dragon-scaled, and my blood is now stronger than before, surpassing the Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body, it should be considered a High-Level Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body."

"Nothing else?"

"That should be all," Zhou Leng said.

The dragons couldn’t conceal their disappointment, and the Dragon Priest had to force a smile, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on acquiring new strength. However, you have publicly not yet fully absorbed this power, so I suggest you meditate quietly on Dragon Mountain for a few days to better absorb the Giant Dragon aura here."

"Then I shall impose upon you."

The dragons escorted Zhou Leng to the cultivation place of the Demigod Giant Dragons, called Demigod Mountain, and placed him in the highest Dragon Nest.

The Demigod Giant Dragons held a meeting to discuss Zhou Leng’s matter.

"The dragon egg transformation failed, what do we do?"

"As expected of the Deity Dragon King, that last Dragon God shadow is quite something, obviously, the Dragon God seems interested in him too."

"However, I am more concerned about his incantations. If he can trigger all the Dragon God statues in the future, the Demigod strength of our Giant Dragon race will surely increase significantly."

"I heard the Giants prepared the Path of Vastness for him, part of Ascension Mountain. If he steps onto the Path of Vastness and acquires the High-Level Giant Body of Wonders, the difficulty of dragon transformation will greatly increase."

"If worse comes to worst, after he ascends to Upper-Rank or Peak, he could be honored as the Dragon Lord, possibly drawing Dragon God Power."

"What? If so, we all have to obey him, what if he issues unreasonable orders, what do we do?"

"I think if he is strong enough, making him the Dragon Lord is no problem. Think about it, if he becomes a Giant Dragon, he’ll stay here, eventually producing a pile of dragon lineage offspring, fertile water not flowing into other dragons’ fields. If he doesn’t want to be a Giant Dragon and resides on Blue Star, do you need to worry about him monopolizing power? Our enemy is the Giants. Defeating Giants is the ultimate goal of the Giant Dragons!"

"That’s true..."

"Hmm?"

The Demigod Giant Dragons all looked skyward.

Above, the five-layer Ascension Divinity Ladder hung high.

The first two layers were filled with virtual images of Demigods who had completed trials.

Now, the Third Layer Celestial Ladder shone with divine light, illuminating the Ten Realms.

A message entered the minds of the gods in the Ten Realms.

The Third Celestial Tier Trial, the Ten Emperor Battle, officially began.

During the Ten Emperor Battle, all passages between the Ten Realms changed, no longer allowing entry into other worlds, only into the corresponding "Ten Emperor Battlefield."

The Ten Battlefields are the Dragon Battlefield, Giant Battlefield, Demon Battlefield, Sea Siren Battlefield, Martial Artist Battlefield, Demon Spirit Master Battlefield, Dwarf Battlefield, Beastman Battlefield, Fierce Beast Battlefield, and Bug-Tree Battlefield.

Starting now, within ten days, the New Demigod Ten Emperor Battle will be held.

Each of the ten battlefields will elect a new emperor, awarding the Divine Power Crown.

Afterward, the ten new emperors will be placed in the same battlefield for combat, with the final victor obtaining the Divine Techniques Throne.

Higher ranks cannot enter the New Demigod Battlefield.

Each new Demigod entering will have a crescent Battlefield Blood Moon floating above their head.

All blood moon holders can sense the location of other blood moons in the battlefield.

Defeated ones lose their blood moon, they can stay in the battlefield and continue to seize others’ Battlefield Blood Moons.

If too heavily injured, they can choose to forfeit the New Emperor competition and leave the battlefield.

In the end, if there are multiple blood moon holders, the one with the most blood moons will be the New Emperor.

If one person holds all the blood moons, they form a Life and Death Platform. If anyone dares to challenge them, the final victor or one who wins three consecutive matches is crowned the New Emperor.

Once all New Emperors are selected, the final Ten Emperor Battle will begin.

Following the New Demigod Ten Emperor Battle is the Lower Demigod Ten Emperor Battle, with similar rules, and so on.

The Demigod Giant Dragons, hearing the news, breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ascension Divinity Ladder is indeed the Power of a High-Level Civilization, this rule is likely guarding against the Blood of Tyranny."

"Yes, earlier the Blood of Tyranny also killed several of our Demigods but fled immediately after being discovered, not killing as ruthlessly as in the Demon Purgatory."

"Wait... Zhou Leng is in our Dragon World, now all realm passages are closed, if he can’t return to Blue Star, he can only compete for Dragon New Emperor..."

The Demigod Giant Dragons widened their eyes in dismay.

"It’s not that we’re reluctant to give the Dragon New Emperor to Zhou Leng, it’s just a bit unpleasant to lose a New Emperor spot in vain."

"Now that the Blood of Tyranny cannot come to the Dragon World, there’s no way to take him away."

"Now that the Ten Realm passages have changed, the previous means to open the Two Realms Barrier must be ineffective."

"Since the Ten Emperor Battlefield is newly established, there must be an entrance. We can find a way to let Zhou Leng enter the Giant Ten Emperor Battle. After all, we are merging with the Giant World..."

"Huh? Isn’t that too... it puts Zhou Leng in a passive position."

"A transmission error occurred, sorry, we weren’t intentional. What else can be done? He can only take the Giant New Emperor’s Crown with tears."

"Either the Giant Dragon suffers, or the Giant suffers, of course picking the Giant to suffer."

"That settles it. Once His Majesty Zhou Leng comes out, we’ll use the excuse to teleport him to Blue Star, directly sending him to the Giant New Emperor Battlefield."

"Immediately send dragons to scout the entrance to the Giant Battlefield!"

The Demigod Giant Dragons promptly took action.

They first found the entrance to the Dragon Battlefield.

Distributed across various places in the Dragon World, a total of ten entrances, like gigantic teleportation arrays, just walking in leads to the Dragon Ten Emperor Battlefield.

Subsequently, the Demigod Giant Dragons secretly entered the Giant World, found an entrance to the Giant Ten Emperor Battlefield, and confirmed the teleportation marker.

Zhou Leng focused on consolidating his Power, having ample time, thus not participating in the Ten Emperor Battle immediately.

After a day and a night, he walked out of the Dragon Nest, finding multiple Demigod Giant Dragons waiting to welcome him.

Red Eyes and Jade Wings were not present, having been sent away.

The Dragon Priest and many Demigod Giant Dragons talked and laughed.

"Your Majesty, you know about the Third Celestial Tier Trial, right?"

"I know. I’m of the Human Race, I should return to Blue Star." Zhou Leng didn’t think much, instinctively following the rules.
