Martial Ascent to Divinity

As he got closer, he lifted his hand, but his power was insufficient. Zhou Leng suddenly turned around, threw a punch, and a white wave surged across the land, sweeping the demigod beastman into the sky.

On the originally green earth appeared a fan-shaped area of yellow land, resembling a giant ginkgo leaf, emitting a faint white smoke.

Just like that, Zhou Leng spat blood upon encountering anyone, and ran after he finished spitting blood.

No demigod beastman could resist falling for it.

In the entire Ten Realms, this move could only be used on the beastman battlefield.

However, there were unexpected encounters.

A pair of famous twin beastmen happened to be together, pursuing him simultaneously.

Zhou Leng used both fists, and ended the battle in an instant.

Following the guidance of the Blood Moon, he continuously searched for demigod beastmen.

At first, he pretended to flee, only to realize that demigod beastmen were all single-minded. He stopped running and met their offensive with a common beastman insult, "mongrel," which provoked an immediate angry response from the adversary.

Some were clever, some cunning, some reckless, some pretended to be weak, but Zhou Leng dealt with them all with a single punch.

Initially, he worried they would escape using the Blood Moon, but later found that even if they abandoned it, they wouldn’t be immediately teleported away. Thus, he felt relieved and occasionally used the East Wind Fist in real combat.

Whether they were newly ascended talents or veteran powerhouses, all sorts of demigod beastmen, over a hundred, were all dead under his invincible fists.

Yet another punch blasted the head of a renowned demigod beastman, taking his Magic Spirit Bag, and storing the corpse in a Starry Sky Bag.

Zhou Leng habitually sensed the location of the next demigod beastman through the Blood Moon.

No more response.

"Hmm?"

Above, the sky filled with shattering Blood Moons, condensing into a blood-colored crown, channeling Star Power, infusing his body.

The third Star Power infusion.

Zhou Leng maneuvered it easily.

At the instant the Divine Power Crown ended, the new beastman ten emperor battlefield collapsed.

Zhou Leng found himself alone on a vacant land outside the Beastman Royal City, a place that was once the Teleportation Array to the ten emperor battlefield.

Nearby stood a handful of grandmasters and a lower demigod.

They were unaware of when it would end and thus no powerful demigod had deliberately waited.

They paused for a moment, then noticed the appearing beastman demigod turning into a ball of light, flying away at speeds even a demigod’s eyes could barely capture.

"Hmm?"

Beastmen looked at each other, puzzled over what had occurred.

What happened to the Teleportation Array?

Because the ending of the ten emperor battlefield gave no external cue, only those inside knew.

"Report the situation..."

A ball of light was blocked by the Two Realms Barrier, the light dissipated, and Zhou Leng landed on the ground.

Separating the Two Realms Barrier, rushing into Demon City, heading straight for the Tree-man World.

The Dragon God’s Teleportation Array was, after all, damaged and couldn’t be used indefinitely, so while it was currently unusable, he decided to explore less dangerous places.

Entering the Two Realms Barrier of the Tree-man World, directly arriving at the tree-man giant insect ten emperor battlefield.

Above him, another Blood Moon appeared, sensing the positions of other Blood Moons.

The other Blood Moons were actually gathered together.

Zhou Leng ran over, and saw from afar a newly ascended demigod giant insect and a newly ascended demigod tree-man keeping watch hundreds of meters apart from each other.

"Your Majesty!" White and chubby Ma Da Bai exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Zhou Leng.

"Oh? You’ve ascended?" Zhou Leng asked.

"I consumed the predecessor, ascending was only a matter of time. Thanks to Your grace, I ascended ahead of time. I strictly followed your rules. You said we are allies, so I didn’t initiate combat. I believed you would definitely come."

Ma Da Bai said this, handing the Blood Moon to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng nodded.

The remaining giant insects and tree-men also willingly offered theirs.

However, the number of newly ascended demigod giant insects was extremely few, only three.

The rest died in front of the mother nest.

Zhou Leng smoothly attained the fourth Divine Power Crown, absorbing the magical higher Star Power.

Once absorbed, the ten emperor battlefield of the Tree-man World vanished.

Zhou Leng began to think.

No point in going to Blue Star, no need to compete with humans for resources.

The Demon Spirit Masters and Steel Dwarves there were allies, also not ideal to visit.

The Sea Sirens couldn’t be entered, nothing to worry about.

That left only the Demon Purgatory.

The new demigods in other worlds, at most a few hundred, while in Demon Purgatory, there were at least two or three thousand newly ascended demigods.

It’s undoubtedly the bloodiest ten emperor battlefield of the Ten Realms.

Yet in some regard, it’s easier to fish in troubled waters than the beastman ten emperor battlefield.

"Should I go there..."

After pondering deeply, Zhou Leng decided to make the trip.

The higher Star Power was secondary; if he could kill a few more newly ascended demigods, it would effectively cut off several generations worth of demon demigod reserves. By next year’s Ten Realms War, the pressure on humanity would greatly decrease.

Zhou Leng made a simple risk assessment, considering that if he entered now, after waiting a while longer, he could again use the Dragon God’s Teleportation Array to retreat if danger arose.

So, he entered Demon City again, transformed into the form of a Skinless Warlock, his body drenched in fresh blood, sprinting toward the Two Realms Barrier leading to Demon Purgatory.

Passing through the Two Realms Barrier, he immediately felt the familiar aura of Demon Purgatory.

Situated on the first level of Demon Purgatory was the Endless Battlefield, where at the same time, above him appeared another Blood Moon.

Zhou Leng scanned the blood-red sky and earth ahead, a glint flashing through his eyes.

"The prelude battle of the Ten Realms War, begins!"

A dark shadow dashed toward the nearest Blood Moon possessor.

Beastman Royal Court.

"Something’s wrong! Many divine thrones in the Demigod Hall have collapsed..."

A lower beastman demigod rushed in in panic.

Inside sat many beastman demigods. They gathered together, discussing the disappearance of the ten emperor battlefield’s Teleportation Array, not even paying attention to the unknown beastman demigod leaving in a flash.

"Hmm?" A host of beastman demigods looked toward the door.

"Whose divine throne collapsed?" an upper demigod inquired.

"Every divine throne of the newly ascended demigods on the ten emperor battlefield has collapsed."

"What? The divine thrones of the Ten Realms’ newly ascended demigods have all collapsed?"

"No, only ours, the beastmen’s."

The beastman demigods were utterly puzzled, still unable to connect the events with reality.

"The collapse of divine thrones implies demigod demise, are you certain?"

"Certain..."

Each demigod connected their consciousness with the Demigod Hall, and after witnessing it, they returned, each rendered expressionless.

"So the disappearance of the ten emperor battlefield’s Teleportation Array doesn’t mean entry is prohibited but signifies that our world’s ten emperor battle... has ended?"

"That unknown beastman who left, was the final victor?"

"But... what about our newly ascended demigods? Are they all dead?"

The beastman demigods were still unable to comprehend.

How could they all be dead?

The remaining over a hundred demigods were the elite newly ascended demigods of the beastman tribe, the pillars of future demigods.

How could they just...

The Beastman Royal Court fell into chaos.

After a long while, a beastman demigod remarked, "There’s another bit of news, uncertain if it’s good or bad, the demonic newly ascended demigods’ divine thrones also began to collapse rapidly..."

Demon ten emperor battlefield.

Unlike other tribes who mostly refrained from killing, demons were more reckless in the ten emperor battlefield.

Because here wasn’t just the ten emperor battlefield, but also the Endless Battlefield.

Killing demons allowed not only to acquire Blood Moons but also absorb a trace of other demons’ power.

However, the strongest demons were very restrained, avoiding indiscriminate killing and only targeting enemy factions’ newly ascended demigods.

Due to the excessive number of newly ascended demon demigods, in mere days, the battlefield had produced hundred-moon demigods.

Each hundred-moon demigod was renowned across Demon Purgatory and the Ten Realms.
