Martial Ascent to Divinity

Zhou Leng swung his fist once more.

The nameless Demon also punched in attack.

Everything was as before.

Except, at the moment they approached, Zhou Leng’s abdomen roared, golden light dazzling.

Activating the Great Sun Divine Skill.

"You..."

The nameless Demon had never seen such power, it was said to be human True Qi, but it didn’t seem like it, nor any power seen in the Ten Realms...

Boom!

The terrifying Punching Power erupted, immense force igniting the air, engulfing both.

A huge white sphere exploded, contracting as Zhou Leng slowly landed in the blasted pit.

That nameless Demon, turned to dust, dissipating into the world.

"Within Demon Purgatory are hidden depths."

Zhou Leng takes every battle more seriously, killing Demons meticulously, punch by punch.

Outside the battlefield of the Ten Realm Kings, the fifteenth layer of Demon Purgatory.

A newly-dead Molten Demon Dragon, suddenly opened its eyes.

It raised its head slightly, seeing its body’s condition, a gleam of joy in its eyes.

"Finally, I’ve been reborn in a High-Rank Demon. My Power will advance further."

"I have died five times; this time, I will surely rapidly advance to Lower-Rank, even Middle-Rank."

"Since I am the famed Demon Purgatory’s Reverse Demon, I will kill fiercely through life!"

"Then, amid madness, challenge the Lord!"

"But... I must first kill that Rusted Iron Great Demon!"

"He’s in disguise, but his aura, that peculiar strength, I remember!"

"Kill you! Kill you!"

The newborn Reverse Demon, eyes flashing blood red.

The sixth day after the beginning of the New Demigod Ten Realm Kings battle, within the Demonic Ten Realm Kings battlefield.

Dozens of final Demons, like a pack of wolves, attacking a seemingly ordinary Demon.

Among them were the Lord’s offspring, Demon Prison Angels, High-Level Demons, even dual god descendants.

Yet, the ever-multiplying corpses below affirm their incapacity.

The only extraordinary thing about this Demon was a giant twenty-plus-meter diameter blood-red full moon hovering above its head.

He hovered in mid-air like a Demon King.

The most elite of the Demigod newly ascended gave their all, employing every strategy, tactic, battle technique, and Spell at their disposal, but could not overcome this Demon King.

He was clearly restraining, using them as whetstones to hone his combat skills.

Yet all the Demigods present were powerless.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Numerous demonic shadows flickered.

Boom boom boom boom... The brilliance of Spells and battle techniques shone.

The surrounded Demon King, with punches and kicks, using Ten Realms universal basic tactics, without any semblance of tricks.

But, a punch, a torrent, a palm, a hurricane.

Until, the Demon King nodded slightly.

The honing of basic skills had reached the limit.

"As gratitude for being my sparring partners, I will let you die before you feel pain."

Having said that, Zhou Leng’s body suddenly accelerated, like black lightning, flashing among the demons.

One punch, one Demon, one strike, one head bursts.

Without hesitation, without delay, just one immediate action.

Casually carrying away all the corpses along the way.

Finishing off the last Demon, taking the final corpse.

Battle over.

On the ground, vast pits spread, blood and shreds of flesh and bones scattered everywhere.

The large demigod Demon corpses, potential Headless God offerings, were all in the star bag, not a single piece wasted.

In an instant, the giant blood-red full moon cracked open.

Brilliant Star Power flowed from the crack, into Zhou Leng’s body.

Far denser than before, the High-grade Star Power surged within.

The body, advancing rapidly towards the starry body once more.

In solitude, Zhou Leng unabashedly activated the Undying Star Body.

In the Will World, the Ceres star phantom grew smaller.

When the Ceres star phantom was refined, the first layer of the Crossing Body of the Undying Star Body would be cultivated and complete.

At that time, able to traverse void, potentially control Ceres to some extent.

Ultimately, ascending to Void God, creating a divine ring, drawing Ceres into his divine ring, wielding the power of the entire star.

Unsure of how long passed, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

The High-grade Star Power had drained dry.

The New Demigod Demon Ten Realm Kings battle, concluded.

Zhou Leng suddenly appeared in a void space on the Endless Battlefield.

Unlike other worlds, the Endless Battlefield had too many teleportation arrays, more than a hundred, only a few Demons were observing nearby.

Zhou Leng said nothing, utilizing the Dragon God teleportation array’s power, transforming into light and flying out.

Those Grandmaster Demons were just stunned for a moment, puzzled as they looked at the disappearing teleportation array, and then reported it.

In no time, Zhou Leng arrived at the Two Realms Barrier, tore it open, and entered Demon City.

Headed straight for Blue Star’s Two Realms Barrier.

With Song Juesi’s strength, the Ten Emperors battle of the newly promoted Martial Saint must be over by now.

Returning to Blue Star, true enough, did not enter the Ten Emperors battlefield.

The Ten Emperors battle for the newly promoted Martial Saint on Blue Star has ended.

Upon inquiry, it was found that Song Juesi has become the new emperor of Blue Star.

Zhou Leng sent congratulations.

Song Juesi asked, "Where did you go? I was looking for you inside for a long time."

"Just tell the outside world you saw me, that I was inside too, and in the end, we both tied for first place."

"Um? What are you up to this time?" Elder Song had rich experience.

"Just say that to the outside world. Otherwise, I might get into trouble."

"Okay."

Back at Guhe Research Institute, Zhou Leng and Xu Qingjin were being affectionate, then resumed normal cultivation.

On the eighth day of the Ten Emperors battle, the Celestial Ladder flashed.

The new semi-god level Ten Emperors battle, all over.

Zhou Leng was in the bedroom, holding Xu Qingjin, looking up at the sky.

On the third layer of Ascension Divinity Ladder, several transparent images of newly promoted semi-gods appeared.

Newly promoted Sea Siren semi-god, Deep Blue’s Sigh.

Newly promoted Demon Spirit Master semi-god, Endless Wind.

Newly promoted Steel Dwarves semi-god, Black Furnace.

Newly promoted Human Martial Saint, Song Juesi.

Newly promoted Human Martial Saint, Zhou Leng.

Ten Realms, nine battlefields, five new emperors.

The gods of the Ten Realms were almost all dumbfounded at the sight.

Giant Dragons and the Giant Race were greatly shocked, they knew Zhou Leng became the new emperor of Giants and Giant Dragons.

But what about the new emperors of Beastmen, Tree-men, giant insects, and Demons?

Could it be...

The semi-gods of Demons and Beastmen sat for a long time, trying to think it through, and couldn’t understand.

What’s going on?

What about the Demons’ Reverse Demon?

What about the Beastmen’s Genius Beastman?

In theory, even if giant insects and Tree-men didn’t fall into a double struggle, there should be nine emperors.

Demon Purgatory and Beastmen were plunged into immense panic.

The most elite newly promoted semi-gods of the entire race, wiped out, couldn’t even exchange for a single new emperor?

What exactly happened?

Why are there two new emperors for the Human Race?

Just as all realms were puzzled, five beams of light descended.

Five candidates disappeared.

Zhou Leng’s vision flickered, and he found himself on a round flat ground, more than thirty kilometers in diameter.

At the ends of the earth from all directions, stood other new emperors from various races.

Then, the sound of the Celestial Ladder was heard beside his ear.

The final battle of the newly promoted semi-god rank, no rules.

Only the last person can become the newly promoted Ten Emperors and gain the Divine Techniques throne.

The five people stood in their places, each looking at each other.

The other four were relatively calm, Deep Blue’s Sigh from the Sea Siren seemed a bit uneasy.

The four across were all from the Humanoid Alliance, while he was the only one from the Demon Alliance.

Zhou Leng was about to make a move, but then thought better of it and shouted, "Deep Blue’s Sigh, I grew up listening to your stories, and greatly respect you. You were my idol in childhood. Here, we have more from the Humanoid Alliance, and fewer from your Demon Alliance; it’s unfair to you. How about this, I’ll challenge you one-on-one, if I lose, I’ll leave immediately and persuade them not to gang up on you, how’s that?"

Song Juesi, Endless Wind, and Black Furnace looked at Zhou Leng perplexedly, Black Furnace was still thinking, Song Juesi and Endless Wind faintly guessed the reason.

Deep Blue’s Sigh hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you and I one-on-one, the others must not interfere."

"I agree," Elder Song said.

The other two also immediately agreed.

Deep Blue’s Sigh breathed a sigh of relief; the semi-gods of the Humanoid Alliance are quite faithful to their word, especially since there’s a little fan of his among them.

Zhou Leng ran towards Deep Blue’s Sigh at a speed of 10 Mach.

Seeing Zhou Leng’s speed, Deep Blue’s Sigh restrained the urge to curve his lips upwards.

He had heard about this Zhou Leng, a little fan of his, who was indeed very strong before.

But, the promotion was only a few months ago.

Wait, no, how is he so weak, how did he get to be a new emperor? Which race’s new emperor is he?

Boom!

Zhou Leng’s body glowed, suddenly accelerating to 30 Mach.

"Hm?" Deep Blue’s Sigh hadn’t reacted yet, and a flash before his eyes, his head exploded, blood splattered everywhere.

Zhou Leng bent down to pick up the corpse.

Song Juesi thought, afraid the opponent would run, really saying whatever it takes, this punch, was so respectful.
