Martial Ascent to Divinity

In the Dragon Country, while discussing the Lower-Rank Ten Sovereigns Battle, the Beastman world and Demon Demigods sighed in distress.

So many Demigods died, it must be thoroughly investigated.

They used various spells, witchcraft, and divine artifacts, but all results were the same.

Interference from Celestial Ladder powers prevented any information from being obtained.

Regarding how the newly ascended Demigods died, various speculations formed, leading to different theories.

Some suspected Zhou Leng, but few believed it.

After all, Blood of Tyranny is merely Zhou Leng’s senior brother, not a biological father, so it’s impossible for him to hand over treasures that traverse realms to outsiders.

More people preferred to believe that Blood of Tyranny possessed treasures capable of temporarily weakening realms.

Moreover, even if given to Zhou Leng, it might not necessarily work.

Zhou Leng ascended as a new Ten Sovereigns purely by luck, propelled by giants and dragons.

However, he must be strictly monitored in the future.

The most important thing is not the previous new Ten Sovereigns Battle because it cannot be changed, but the upcoming Lower-Rank Ten Sovereigns Battle.

After all, newcomers don’t represent much.

The backbone of all realms consists of Lower-Rank Demigods and Middle-Rank Demigods.

Especially since many newly ascended Demigods among the Beastman and Demons exited early, avoiding extinction, preserving living force.

New talents indeed died unjustly.

Taking the lesson learned, Beastman Demigods and Demon Demigods changed their strategy, requiring all participating Demigods to minimize killing, allowing others to escape with the Blood Moon. When facing catastrophe, they should try to join forces.

But nobody is certain about what catastrophic event might occur.

In the Martial Saints video conference, Zhou Leng merely listened.

Soon, it was the turn of Martial Saints who participated in the new Ten Sovereigns Battle to share their experiences.

"Elder Song, why don’t you start?" Even Huang Xuan Pavilion addressed Song Juesi respectfully.

The rest of the Martial Saints looked at Song Juesi differently from other newly ascended Martial Saints.

Initially, they thought Song Juesi, although a late bloomer, had reached his limit by becoming a Martial Saint.

But unexpectedly, in the previous Ascension Divinity Ladder, Song Juesi proved invincible against the same rank Demon Demigod.

In the new Ten Sovereigns Battle on Blue Star, he swept through his opponents, defeating fellow new Martial Saints at the same realm with just a few moves.

With a dominant presence, he claimed the title of new Sovereign among humans’ newly ascended Martial Saints.

This meant Song Juesi’s potential had not run out.

His future achievements could go beyond Upper-Rank, possibly reaching the peak or even becoming a Demigod King.

Most importantly, he’s from the Ancient River Sect, receiving its heritage even before ascending to a Semi-Saint, or even before reaching Innate.

The foundation laid is stronger than all previous Martial Saints.

Who would have thought, on the surface it seemed Song Juesi’s potential was delayed for decades, but in reality, if not for those decades of delay, Song Juesi wouldn’t have such great potential.

Song Juesi thought for a moment and said, "I truly don’t have much experience to share, just continuous fighting."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood it was all overwhelming victories, with no fancy moves, naturally lacking any noteworthy experiences.

So, they turned to inviting other defeated new Martial Saints to share their experiences.

After everyone shared, Huang Xuan Pavilion said, "Martial Saint Zhou, among us, you are the youngest, typically the younger Martial Saints aren’t bound by old experiences. Most of us older folks have a worldview stuck in the past, leading to somewhat distorted perception. Share your thoughts on the Ten Sovereigns Battle."

Zhou Leng wanted to mimic Song Juesi’s bravado, saying he was initially propelled by giants and dragons, followed by constant slaying, but decided to speak more substantively.

After a brief contemplation, he began speaking.

"I think many of the seniors before have said the right things, we need to grasp the intentions of high-level civilizations and Ascension Divinity Ladder..."

"I suggest grouping together, at times like this, an individual cannot truly decide the overall situation. As long as the new Crown of Lower-Rank Martial Saints does not fall into the hands of the Demon Worship Sect, who it lands with in Dragon Country doesn’t make much difference..."

"Being younger than you all, my view on other Demon Worship Sect Martial Saints is straightforward, during turbulent times strong measures need to be applied, we can’t spoil them as before..."

"What are strong measures? Strict laws, the heaviest law is what? As you all know, Blades Technique is also law. So, the strong measure equals Blades Technique..."

Some Martial Saints raised their eyebrows, this is what Huang Meng Sect people love to say.

Beheading, carving graffiti with blood on walls, it’s how Huang Meng Sect showcases Blades Technique.

"I understand all you martial sages have patience, but times have changed, we have limited time, next year, the Ten Realms Battle will be reignited..."

"Personally, I think the Ascension Divinity Ladder deserves attention, but don’t let it misguide us. Killing Demons and Demon Sect members, eliminating their life force, is what we truly ought to focus on..."

"Many sages and great figures from the past said to hold the enemy at the nation’s gates, to take precautions, it’s essentially the same. We should start acting before the Ten Realms Battle, eliminating all hidden dangers and enemies as much as possible..."

After speaking for a long time, Zhou Leng switched focus, saying, "Now, as for the Ten Sovereigns Battlefield, let me share my views..."

His speech received nodding approval from the pro-war faction, although a few non-pro-war Martial Saints remained unconvinced.

After the meeting ended, Zhou Leng returned to the Frost Giant Tree to cultivate, absorbing newly gained Star Power, and sensing the Divine Techniques of the starry wanderers’ power.

As he operated the Great Sun Divine Skill, the sky was filled with starlight descending, gathering around him, causing a pale glow.

Even the rays emitted by the Frost Giant Tree were swayed by the starry wanderers’ power.

The leaves shook, and the Frost Giant Tree withdrew its power, not falling upon Zhou Leng.

Previously absorbing Star Power felt like smuggling, now it is legal transport, and overloaded.

Nearly ten times the previous strength landed upon him.

Massive layers of Star Power superimposed, creating multiple transformations.

Not only did the Great Sun Divine Skill enhance, even the Undying Star Body and Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique simultaneously improved.

All three skills grew.

Several hours later, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

Within his body, he felt immense power, like he’d steamed for hours in a sauna.

The limit of his body was completely broken by the Divine Power Crown and Divine Techniques Throne.

A clear feeling emerged, in some time, his strength could reach the level of the Three Sons of Ancient River.

At least among newly ascended Demigods, he could rival the Three Sons of Ancient River.

After chasing for so long, finally, with the help of Ascension Divinity Ladder and Endless Battlefield, he reached a realm he never dared dream of before.

Looking at the time, today should be the second day of the Lower-Rank Ten Sovereigns Battle.

He couldn’t enter Ascension Divinity Ladder, losing a new path for advancement.

But perhaps there’s an opportunity in Endless Battlefield.

These days, after killing so many Demon Demigods and absorbing so much power, the savored benefits indeed become addictive.

Since slaying Demons in Endless Battlefield boosts his power, quietly cultivating felt outdated.

Though there are changes in the Ten Realms passage, as a newly ascended Demigod, he cannot enter Lower-Rank Ten Sovereigns Battle, but should be able to enter Endless Battlefield.

With the gods focused on the Ten Sovereigns Battlefield, stealthily killing dozens of Demigods shouldn’t be hard.

If he can’t enter, he’ll return to continue cultivating.
