52: Demon Ancestor, how could you be so lame!
In the Void, you have been fighting the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor for nine years!
Years passed by, time fleeting as if in an instant.
In the first year, you fought him in close combat, gaining considerable God Realm level combat experience.
You even had leisure to comprehend a one-character Divine Marvel: the "Fight" Divine Marvel Secret Art!
God Realm battles are mostly clashes between authority over laws!
And the skill in utilizing laws, along with the strength and quantity of laws mastered, determines the tilt of victory.
Your close-quarters combat with the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor was a trial to hone your application of Martial Dao laws in fist, foot, and weapon combat!
Even though the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor had nine heads, fighting with all nine, you did not fall into a disadvantage!
You even managed to temporarily beat the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor black and blue.
He quickly recovered, stubbornly saying, "It doesn't hurt at all! A mere minor injury, nothing more..."
But this made you feel that you seemed terrifyingly strong; the mere Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor didn't seem very powerful!
In response, the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor, whose head had been exploded several times, was furious and initiated a law-based wave battle!
In the second year, you discovered that enduring multiple law breaths from the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor didn't seem like a big deal.
You were indestructible!
Divine and tough! Extremely tough!
So you began a wave battle with the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor!
Boundless Sea of Blood!
A Flying Immortal sword strike!
Sword One... it seemed a bit fragile!
With one move from you, he was almost half-dead!
You had some doubts about life; was this guy really that brittle?
For a moment, you felt as if the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor was putting on an act for you!
But he didn't seem to have the acting skills for it!
When you unleashed a law Divine Marvel with God Realm power, he couldn't even withstand a single move!
You switched to one of your ultimate moves from your previous life, and he still couldn't quite bear it!
You activated the first form of the Universal Sword Canon, flashing out a sword qi, and he barely managed to match you by activating his authority!
You were utterly speechless!
In this life, who on earth could have a truly exhilarating contest with you when their realm was not too far off from yours?!
How long had you waited for the ultimate battle!
Yet the great world enemy you faced now was also like this!
Watching his arrogant demeanor, you even had to cooperate with him, appearing to struggle!
Making him think he was strong!
You almost stabbed him to death with a single sword many times!
Alright, the fragile Demon Ancestor, who made you feel immense pressure for the hundred-year calamity, in just this short time, you've decided he's not worth that much attention anymore.
You could even spare a wisp of divine sense, stepping out of the Divine Demon battlefield, to direct the human and demon race wars in the outside world!
Formulating internal development plans for the State!
You became strong too quickly, so much so that the Xuanwu Realm martial artists lagged far behind your pace, and even the world itself had to suppress its expansion, otherwise, people would truly be scattered far and wide, unable to meet!
In the third year, the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor was truly tenacious, with extremely strong recovery!
You had been clashing with moves augmented by wisps of authority for over a year.
He was covered in wounds, you pretended to be covered in wounds, and then he quickly recovered from his injuries!
You were certain he possessed an authority related to healing and recovery!
The Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor even praised you with a pant: "Ha~hoo~ You are very strong! Even among the great realm humans, you are a prominent figure within the God Realm!
However, this Ancestor will not raise a tiger to cause future trouble; the first battle is the decisive battle! This Ancestor will completely slay you here and sever your future!"
The Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor acknowledged your exceptional talent; at such a young age, breaking into the God Realm, you could fight him back and forth, making you a strong god!
Unfortunately, you developed too late and encountered him!
He was very confident that you were absolutely no match for him!
He would wear you down, devour your authority, devour your body, and turn it into his nourishment!
You felt incredulous and a bit speechless; with nine heads on one body, it seemed his brain still wasn't very bright!
However, you also took the opportunity to extract some intelligence.
For example, above the God Realm, there is the Void God Realm, and even the Celestial Net Dao Realm!
The gods of all the heavens and myriad realms can be divided into four stages, also known as the Four Steps of Divinity!
Divinity, Deification, Divine Source, Divine Marvel!
This is the Void Divine Way!
What is pursued in cultivation are laws, authority, and origin!
Above the God Realm, what is pursued is the Dao! The Luotian Great Dao! It is the Dao Realm!
Unfortunately, the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor was also a bumpkin; he only knew the four stages of the Divine Way, but not how they were divided, only that all gods sought transcendence, and the Celestial Net had Dao Fruits!
The Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor's cultivation was in the third stage of the Void Divine Way, the Divine Source Realm!
This was also why he allowed law authority to spill out, causing demon gods to grow savagely, and then harvested living beings to replenish and strengthen the Divine Way's law origin.
This was not the standard cultivation method for the Divine Source Realm, but it was the simplest and fastest way to cultivate.
Harvesting, 'cutting leeks,' a common method across the heavens, favored by many gods.
The Divinity within the State, eternal as the heavens!
Deification outside the State, freely roaming the Void, able to establish a Divine Kingdom!
Authority transforming into Divine Source, law authority condensing into the origin of the Divine Way!
The Divine Marvel of the gods, the creation of nature's finest, all realms flow on their own, the Divine Marvel is endless, its name imprinted in the Void.
What you hadn't expected was that this Demon Ancestor was a Divine Source Realm Ancestor, the third step of the God Realm, yet now you, having barely stepped into the second stage of the Martial Dao's Three Stages of Qiankun, the Creation Realm, already possessed the ability to easily kill him.
You found the division of the Void Divine Way somewhat incomprehensible!
If you eventually entered the Three Stages of Qiankun, would you then directly correspond to the Divine Marvel, the fourth step of the Void Divine Way?
Would you directly attain the Dao in the future? Pursue the Luotian Great Dao?
You didn't know these things!
After all, you hadn't even conceived of a Fourth Stage of Qiankun yet!
Perhaps your previous ideas were too bold.
So much so that the span of the Martial Dao was indeed a bit too large.
You extracted some more intelligence about the myriad realms of the heavens, but the Void is vast and boundless, worlds are strange and varied, and unknown risks exist within the Void.
Unless one has the precise coordinates of a certain realm, otherwise, how difficult it is to accurately find a realm!
There are many worlds in the Void, some like the Xuanwu Realm, with a flat earth and a round sky, and defined boundaries.
There are also some like spherical rings, cosmic seas where stars shine, and world clusters like Great Thousand and Small Thousand realms.
Furthermore, there are alternative pseudo-Void worlds relying on the Void, giving birth to Void creatures... and even powerful beings capturing Void worlds, placing completely insignificant beings, raising fish, cultivating spiritual saplings... It is said there are also mysterious places formed from fragments of the primordial realm of the past, like Void forbidden zones.
Legend has it that in the beginning of the Void, there was only one world!
The Primordial Realm! The oldest, most powerful, and supreme great realm!
For unknown reasons, at an unknown time, it shattered, and only then did the current myriad worlds of the Void come into being... There are many taboos in the heavens, and many things the Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor cannot afford to provoke: powerful beings' Dao fields, divine sects of the heavens, the Mother of Living Beings... The black and blue Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor didn't even realize that he seemed to have said a bit too much.
This was the new Divine Marvel you had comprehended displaying its power: Eye of Shattered Delusions · Modified · Eye of Illusory Demons!
The Nine Luminaries Demon Ancestor was hypnotized by you.
He had lost his value in fighting you.
Of course, he had other values!
For example, he possessed world beacons!
He had Void knowledge!
