[That year, at 128, the remains of the battle exploded. Under the protection of the Overlord, you trembled like an ant.]
【Fake! 】
Even the mighty were trembling with fear!
[The battle explodes, destroying the heavens and the earth!]
Chen Xiaolan and the Barbarian Demon shuddered instantly, turned around, and activated their full-speed attack!
Unlike the barbarian demon, Chen Xiaolan is still holding you captive.
[You see the surrounding rocks and soil rising up in layers, as if layers of protective barriers are blocking your way. You glance at Chen Xiaolan again; this is a powerful, domineering figure, yet he shows such a look of fear.]
Meanwhile, far behind, the purplish-blue sun expanded until it engulfed an area of over 160 miles before exploding with a deafening roar. Streams of purplish-blue energy shot out in all directions; before them, even the most resilient matter was as nonexistent as air!
The shockwave unleashed when the Great Sun exploded was earth-shattering. The terrifying blast swept away all excess material on the ground, lifting up rubble, demons, blood lakes, and mountains, which were then carried atop the shockwave!
The earthen screen left behind by Chen Xiaolan was also swept up in it and became part of it!
[Boom! B ...
Even the loud bangs travel at supersonic speeds, using elemental energy as a medium, making your ears hurt.
[Chen Xiaolan carried you for over two thousand miles before stopping. After this astonishingly long distance, the speed attenuation has decreased, and now you only need to face a hurricane traveling at hundreds of meters per second.]
Compared to that horrific explosion, this is like a gentle breeze; your expressions remain calm and composed.
After a long silence, you see a massive semi-circular crater, 160 miles in diameter and nearly 100 miles deep, appear at the epicenter of the explosion. The crater is empty.
[Chen Xiaolan: "You encountered that demon and interrupted its advancement?"]
If you nod, it's not hard to guess.
"That...that explosion?" Chen Xiaolan pointed into the distance, her voice trembling slightly.
You cough: "Isn't there a wrecked body over there? I lured that armored demon into charging at it."
"As for that King Jia's own son... when I fled far away, it was still resting halfway down my palm."
Having lived for over a thousand years and been a hegemon for over four hundred, Chen Xiaolan rarely felt astonished by martial artists at the Celestial Realm.
[Because no matter how outstanding or charismatic those celestial beings are—he, as a hegemon, can do it too, and do it even more easily.]
But he really wouldn't dare do what you're doing!
[To dare to provoke the unstable Supreme Battle Body, how audacious!]
Didn't you see the power just now? That was comparable to a Supreme Being's serious strike, directly obliterating an area of over a hundred miles. If he had been caught in it, he would have been severely injured!
[In 2984, your reputation has grown increasingly prominent over the past year, as you have been wanted by the demons.]
[The Human Race's Sacred Body has a bounty on its head among the Demon Race; killing it will grant you a greater reward, which is perfectly normal.]
But you were hunted by four kings.
[The four Demon Lords have increased the bounty pool on you; killing you is more profitable than killing a mid-to-late game Overlord!]
[Only then did the human race gradually realize just how powerful the Armored King's son, whom you had tricked so badly and who was ultimately blown apart by the remnants of his battle body, truly was.]
His name is Jia Lie, a peerless genius with exceptional talent, considered a future supreme being!
[Demons do not possess sacred bodies. To surpass those of the same level, they must receive blood from higher-ranking demons. The more times they receive this blessing, the greater their future potential, which is equivalent to a higher-level "demon-created sacred body."]
[Many false kings' standards for their children are at the third level of refinement, and those who reach the fourth level are considered top-tier geniuses, but Jia Lie has reached the fifth level!]
[Multiple false kings of various races bestowed their blood upon it, and only it could withstand it!]
[He was a secret demonic talent cultivated by the demon race, originally intending to rise to prominence and become famous throughout the Azure Domain last year in Blood Crystal Valley... but you killed him.]
[Regardless of the methods used, you've killed that future Demon Lord!]
Yun Shou (expressionless): "The future supreme being? This isn't the first time I've killed a being with such a title."
This year, your fame among humans has soared to new heights!
[In 2985, your position rose a notch, becoming a more important component of the "Heavenly Net Battle Body," comparable to a newly promoted overlord.]
In 2986, your fans were so enthusiastic that you had to agree to some of their requests, because you really doted on them.
[In 1987, with the help of your war merits and the massive "nurturing funds" provided by the war zone, you advanced to the Celestial Perfection stage.]
[A 6.46x increase in essence allows you to control energy within a radius of over 10,000 meters!]
"It feels so good to be nurtured by the human race with all their resources!" you exclaimed. In just eighteen years, through your life-and-death adventures and the consumption of massive amounts of resources, you've already reached the maximum level of the second step of martial arts!
[You spent over forty years progressing from the mid-game to the late-game; logically, progressing from the late-game to the peak should be several times harder!]
"Leveling up by defeating monsters is so fast!"
[In the same year, you began to pay attention to the methods for advancing to the top.]
[You already know the orthodox method of advancement: become a super stubborn person.]
In martial arts terms, it's about cultivating an "ultimate" mindset, using methods similar to mental suggestion to guide martial artists beyond the realm of the divine, achieving a breakthrough.
Your 6.5 full combat physique makes you invincible within your realm, which makes it easy for you to cultivate an "invincible" mindset. It can be said that with this combat power, the door to becoming a hegemon has already been opened. All that's left is to walk a long road to achieve it.
[You don't want to follow the "long road" that ordinary hegemons take hundreds of years to traverse. Even for you, shaping this kind of mindset would take hundreds of years, and by then, a holy war would have already broken out.]
[Every time you peruse the historical records of the ancient holy wars, you feel a chill run down your spine. Hundreds and thousands of overlords died, and even the supreme beings fell one by one. How could someone like you, at the peak of the Celestial Realm, possibly survive in such an environment?]
Those supreme beings are definitely pushing you into dangerous territory with the mindset of "letting this kid break through to the Overlord realm in the Holy War!"
[As for escaping into the battlefield of the Hundred Races... the original pilot of the Heavenly Origin Giant Ship could do that, but you can't. You've already come under the watchful eyes of countless Supreme Beings.]
[And they've been promoted as a benchmark for years, so they can't escape it!]
Once the Holy War begins, even if you escape into the battlefield of the Hundred Races, a bunch of Innate Realm or even Celestial Realm beings will be thrown in to rescue you. There's no such thing as you being trapped, locked in seclusion unable to find anyone, or afraid to pass through the "Stairway to Heaven."
If they don't leave, there's only one possibility: "betraying the tribe."
[Once the two True Kings shatter the battlefield of the Hundred Races, and you are forced to leave, you will inevitably face a racial-level judgment. Even if Bei Chenguang were also a Supreme Being at that time, he wouldn't be able to protect you!]
This concerns the greater good of our race, and the very fate of humanity... We cannot make an exception!
[Some of the most prominent figures in history, including their children, partners, and even parents, have not escaped judgment!]
