Chapter 207: Chapter 206: First Hearing about the Supreme!!

“Zzzzzt! ”
In the field, the golden crow apparition of Jiang Wenxing was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, its surface flames pressurized by the stormy sea breeze until they were on the verge of being extinguished.
This was not to say that Jiang Wenxing’s sacred body was inferior to that of Young Master Kong Xu. The real reason was that the power dynamics between the two were continuously tilting.
Over time, the might radiated by Young Master Kong Xu had become extremely terrifying.
“I can’t go on!”
Finally, Jiang Wenxing sighed, and before his golden crow completely extinguished, he consciously withdrew his apparition.
Rather than being forcibly suppressed and extinguished, it was more graceful to admit defeat. Moreover, he did not feel wronged about losing, as his opponent was on the verge of reaching the eternal state.
“Bang!”
With his move, he himself was also blown out of the field by a gust of wind.
Seeing Jiang Wenxing, who had also been ejected from the battlefield, all the talents present let out exclaims of surprise.
“Even he has come out…”
“Yeah, Young Master Kong Xu is too strong…”
Hearing these words, Jiang Wenxing frowned slightly and explained, “If we were at the same rank, he would not have been able to beat me…”
Unfortunately, no one cared about what he said at this moment. Losing the fight was a fact because, by the end of the day, everything that happened today would spread out.
By then, everyone would know that he, Jiang Wenxing, had served as nothing more than a whetstone for Kong Xu, and was the first to lose among the Four Sacred Bodies.
“Damn it!”
Jiang Wenxing understood the intricacies and angrily pounded his chest.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tianpeng beside him shook his head and said, “All these are just false reputations. When you reach the eternal level, you can fight again… ”
Even though the reasoning was right, Jiang Wenxing did not pay any attention.
He was still immersed in his own emotions of being gossiped about his failure.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianpeng didn’t say anything more. Jiang Wenxing needed to comprehend everything on his own.
In the battlefield, the Little Hawk King, who was resisting the stormy sea breeze with all his might, could not help but sigh with relief after he saw Jiang Wenxing exit the field.
Actually, he couldn’t hold on either, but he didn’t want to be the first one out, so he had been persisting.
Thankfully, Jiang Wenxing exited first…
With this thought in mind, he glanced at Yu Shuiyao next to him, who had a full moon apparition.
At this moment, her state was far better than that of the Little Hawk King.
Compared to the Little Hawk King’s apparition that looked like a drowned chicken, Yu Shuiyao was well protected by the round moon at the moment, with only occasional waves penetrating and wetting her skirt hem and cuffs. These water stains, far from making her appear embarrassed, instead subtly revealed her exquisite figure.
“Little Hawk King, are you waiting for me to leave first?”
Yu Shuiyao smiled sweetly, her voice pleasant to the ear, “I can hold on for at least another hour, what do you think?”
The Little Hawk King scrutinized the round moon and found that it was indeed as she said; her apparition would likely last longer.
Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate anymore and also retracted his apparition, being swept out of the field by a strong gust of wind.
It was not that he didn’t want to stay, but he had reached his limit. It was better to leave voluntarily, even with a gust of wind as a farewell, than to be washed away by the sea. At least this way, he could still save face.
Seeing him leave, Yu Shuiyao also let out a sigh of relief. She actually could not hold on much longer either. Although the moon shielded her from the impact of the water, the feeling of the waves hitting her clothes was uncomfortable, making her feel unpleasant all over.
However, she also understood that at this moment, resisting the apparition was also beneficial for her, so she didn’t leave abruptly and continued to resist.
After about the time it takes for a cup of tea to be brewed, she finally couldn’t hold on any longer and flew out of her own accord.
With this, following the nine talents who were previously defeated by Nine Swords, the three among the sacred bodies who were combating apparitions with their own apparitions also left the battlefield.
On the field, only Du Gang was left, still tirelessly fighting with Young Master Kong Xu.
“All three sacred bodies have come out…” “But the divine body Du Gang is still inside!”
“It seems like he did not cultivate an apparition…”
“Definitely, he’s just at Sector Lord Level. Normally, a divine body can only cultivate an apparition when it reaches the Eternal Level…”
If the spectators do not pay attention to the level of Du Gang’s cultivation, it would be easy for them to accept his perseverance to the end.
However, once Du Gang’s cultivation level comes to mind, it gives people an unusual discomfort.
“It’s only been a little over a month, and Du Gang has reached Sector Lord Rank Six. This guy is like he’s cheating…”
“Yeah, even now, I still feel a sense of unrealness. I suspect that he received some additional cultivation when he received the inheritance.”
Compared to Du Gang’s cultivation level, what Jiang Wenxing found even more unacceptable was the physical strength exhibited by Du Gang at this moment.
He was the Fire Yuan Sacred Body, and his talent in body cultivation was incomparably rich. He was used to leveraging his physical strength to dominate his opponents, even if his cultivation level was inadequate.
Who knew that today, there would be three people with bodies stronger than his.
He could accept that the Little Hawk King had a stronger body than him. After all, this was a half-bird man, and his penchant for refining his body was normal.
He could also accept that Young Master Kong Xu was stronger than him. After all, this guy was currently in the midst of tribulation, so it was normal for his physical strength to increase rapidly.
What he absolutely could not accept was that Du Gang, a person he previously looked down upon, had a body stronger than his. This was absolutely outrageous.
“Du Gang is still fighting Young Master Kong Xu. Do you guys think it’s possible that Kong Xu is going easy on him, trying to let Du Gang grow some more?”
Fighting against someone undergoing tribulation can indeed improve one’s own cultivation level to some extent, so such a guess is considered normal.
However, an elderly eternal level powerhouse chuckled: “Impossible, overcoming tribulation is not that simple. You must give it your all to grow in strength, otherwise, it’s pointless…”
“That’s right!”
Yet another Eternal Level power nodded, “The main goal of the tribulation is self-improvement. If one doesn’t go at it with all their might, they may end up failing to pass the tribulation, even if they are on the verge of advancing, they may end up being knocked back to Sector Lord Level…”
Hearing these words, the genii present gradually started to believe.
“Boom!”
The two men in the field, after battling for a while, has finally separated.
They were both floating in mid-air, a hundred meters apart, facing each other from a distance.
“Du Gang, your power has increased too rapidly, if time allows, I would like to do battle with you a bit more…”
“However, at this moment, I am on the verge of breakthrough. What comes next is the greatest secret technique of my Kong Family. If you can’t withstand it, you should admit defeat!”
Prince Kong Xu solemnly said, “After this strike, regardless of win or loss, this competition will come to an end!”
By now, his ‘tribulation’ had already passed. Defeating Jiang Wenxing, Little Hawk King, Yu Shuiyao and others was enough for him to level up.
Although he hadn’t yet determined a victor with Du Gang, the latter was young and wasn’t on his list of must-wins.
Upon hearing this, Du Gang’s eyes brightened, and, licking his lips in continued enthusiasm, said, “Alright, bring it on!”
This battle had completely unlocked his power.
The power was his own to begin with but before, due to his lack of understanding, he was like an ordinary person, relying solely on the Power of Laws to fight.
Now, he declared that even without the Power of Laws, his body alone was enough to defeat a Ninth Rank Sector Lord.
Prince Kong Xu nodded, and calmly said, “The supreme technique I’ll be using is called the Void Giant Palm, it’s my Kong Family’s unique technique…”
“Oh my god, Void Giant Palm!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd outside all uttered cries of surprise.
“Could it be, it’s the legendary Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique?”
“Rumor has it, the reason why the eighteen clans could grow to be leaders of the Penglai Island…or even the most powerful forces in the whole sentient universe, is because each family possesses one potent Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique as their heritage…”
“Isn’t it said that there are no cultivation techniques above the Eternal Level?” asked an individual from another advanced cosmic empire who was relatively unfamiliar with some of the secrets.
At this moment, an Eternal Level power spoke up to explain: “This technique does not increase cultivation levels, but it’s an offensive technique…”
“Heavenly Level Techniques, every one of them was left behind by the Supreme, representing an ultimate Daoist attack method. Every one of them is unsurpassable…”
“Today, I actually have the honor of witnessing the Kong Family’s Void Giant
Palm!”
“Supreme! ”
Everyone present took a sharp breath; the word ‘Supreme’ was too profound to be ignored.
The Supreme is the most powerful existence in human history, including the history of the Primordial Continent!
Legend has it that they can create and destroy worlds and they sit on the pinnacle of Human Dao cultivation.
A technique passed down from the Supreme!
Du Gang was completely shocked; he had never imagined that the Kong Family possessed a technique of this caliber.
Listening to the discussions around him, his heart was filled with undulating emotions.
All eighteen clans have Heavenly Level Techniques, does this imply that there were once eighteen Supreme Level powerhouses?
Are they still alive? If so, why would they give away their most potent method developed over their lifetime?
If they had died, then who was the one who succeeded in killing them? They had evidently reached the Supreme level, so who could possibly kill them?
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, as Prince Kong Xu began his move, his miscellaneous thoughts gradually disappeared, and an expression of excitement started to show on his face again.
“Today, let me witness the might of the Supreme’s supreme unique technique!” Listening to Kong Xu’s words, Kong Luo instead shook his head.
It was too forced. The Void Giant Palm, even he, as an Eternal Level power, could only execute the first move.
This technique’s level was too strong; it wasn’t something that any ordinary person could learn.
Even if Prince Kong Xu attempted to use it now, he could only exert a small fraction of its potential.
Prince Kong Xu slowly raised his hands, casting a divine radiance that shot up to the heavens. His hands moved swiftly and looked as if they were holding up the sky, emitting an awe-inspiring aura.
At the same time, his complexion turned pale. Not a trace of color could be seen.
The Void Giant Palm was still too much for him.
His hands, like they were carrying Mount Tai, were shaking and were so weighed down that they could not be fully straightened.
However, he did not give up. Even though it was extremely difficult, he continued to lift his hands.
“Overturning Palm Print!”
With his soft shout, he suddenly pushed his hands forward, immediately causing a gigantic palm print that could cover the sky to slowly fall.
As this palm print flew out, cutting across the sky, it demonstrated an imposing aura, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble incessantly.
The divine brilliance was as large as a mountain peak, shooting towards Du Gang, who was standing still in the void nearby.
“Here it comes!”
Du Gang watched the slowly approaching palm print with a serious look. This intense aura gave his body a feeling of being backstabbed.
“Boom!”
In that moment, a technique suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Ancient Spear Technique!
Could this be…
The method that appeared in his mind immediately fused with his spiritual body the moment it appeared, and he managed to remember it thoroughly in a flash.
“So that’s how it is!”
Ancient Spear Technique, a saintly method imbued with the bloodline memory of the Ancient Gods. A Earth Rank technique, not as powerful as the Supreme Heavenly Level technique the Supreme Being left behind, yet still fearsome.
At this very moment, the Supreme Technique the opponent unleashed, a Void Palm Print, unexpectedly activated the Saintly method deep within Du Gang’s body.
“The first style of the Ancient Spear Technique – Sky Breaking Stance!”
At this moment, without much thought, Du Gang naturally understood the first style.
Because this first style, named Sky Breaking Stance, is the source of the Ancient Gods’ Sky-breaking Strike.
“Boom!”
Du Gang used the Sky Breaking Stance, a spear shadow full of endless sharpness appeared in the sky, charging at the slowly approaching Void Palm Print.
“Boom!”
He might have thought the speed was too slow, thus his body followed the moment the spear shadow appeared, performing a backlight flip and one of his feet slammed down, kicking at the spear’s tail.
“Bang!”
The spear shadow seemed to be fed with a vigorous potion; golden light flickered, emitting a more potent divine radiance. The formidable spear shadow shot forward, aiming squarely at the Void palm print.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
In the center of everyone’s attention, the spear and the palm print finally collided.
The clanging continued as though a thousand swords were clashing, showcasing both of their terribly powerful attacks with sparks flying all over the place.
One was a Supreme Heavenly Level technique passed down by the Supreme Being, the other was an Earth Rank technique passed down by a Saint. The founders of the two attacks might not have fought in their lives, but they clashed in this moment.
Young Master Void was stunned. His Void Palm Print, the unique skill of the Kong Family, was allegedly obtained from the Primordial Continent and Du Gang had managed to block it.
The depth of the Sky Breaking Stance of the Ancient Spear Technique was
unfathomable. It currently absorbed the gold element laws scattering between heaven and earth, drawing strength from it, continuously enhancing its own power.
Not only it, but the other Void Palm Print was also actively absorbing power from the void.
The gold element laws are considered one of the eight lower laws in the cognition of the human race in the universe and less powerful than the higher spatial laws.
But in reality, their powers in the universe are equal and there is no difference between high and low.
At this moment, tiny spatial cracks had appeared at the center of the collision of the two attacks. Peering through the cracks, one could catch a glimpse of depths so profound it struck fear into hearts.
“Incredible, spatial cracks actually appeared. This is Pangu Continent, where the spatial reality is solid. To break through the space, one must have at least Eternal Level power. Could it be… their attacks have already…” Someone was mumbling, clearly unnerved.
Even Kong Luo showed a shocked expression at this moment.
“Such an escalating attack, could it be that Du Gang has also mastered a supreme technique?
“It’s not a supreme technique!”
All of a sudden, an old voice came.
Kong Luo was stunned. He turned to look and his face instantly showed a reverent look, promptly saying, “Senior, you’re here!”
The person before him was the True God Level powerhouse who had come to their aid earlier.
The old man nodded slightly and continued, “This is a Saintly technique, it should be a technique from the lineage of the Ancient Gods…”
“Lineage of the Ancient Gods…”
Kong Luo suddenly asked curiously, “Senior, has the Ancient God Clan ever produced a Supreme Being?”
The Supreme Being, to him, is like a myth, far out of reach. Seeing a True God Level powerhouse was a rarity, and he had a myriad of questions to ask. The old man nodded and said, “Yes, the Pangu beneath our feet is a Supreme….”
“What?”
Kong Luo inadvertently glanced at the ground and exclaimed, “Pangu is a Supreme Being, he…”
Did the Supreme Being die?
Although based on Pangu’s stature, he seemed to be an extraordinary powerhouse to him, he never thought that Pangu was actually a Supreme Being.
The old man shook his head and said no more. Clearly, if he did not know the cause of Pangu’s death, then he did not want to speak about it.
Although their conversation had not been private and was audible to the people around, they did not hear this secret as the old man had refrained from revealing it to them.
“Boom!”
As the final strike was issued, Young Master Void once again fell into the state of confusion he was in before.
At the same time, the spiritual body within his internal world floated out, radiating a dazzling light, its power unparalleled.
What was even more astonishing was that this spiritual body was gradually revealing a profound and incomprehensible charm. “His spiritual body is transforming into a divine spirit!”
He’s about to advance!
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, Young Master Void exuded radiant and dazzling light all around him. The instant this light appeared, everyone present instinctively lowered their heads as their eyes stung and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Mortals cannot look directly at a god!
At that moment, those who had not reached the level of Eternity were naturally suppressed.
Even the Eternal Level powerhouses closed their eyes at this moment, relying on the divine spirits inside their bodies to watch the scene before them.
But among these people, the True God Level elder was an exception. Not only had his spirit achieved divinity, but his flesh had as well. Therefore, he was still using his eyes at this moment.
Eternal Level, undying spirit!
True God Level, immortal body!
“Woosh woosh woosh!”
Suddenly, a river appeared in the sky, radiating divine light, with brilliance predominating.
“The Sky River is here!”
At this moment, everyone was thrilled.
Those who have advanced to the Eternal Level can enter the Sky River to receive the Sky River Baptism.
This Sky River did not exist in the present world. At this moment, a few people couldn’t help but open their eyes. The Sky River, which their spiritual bodies had sensed, was empty to their eyes.
The Sky River can only be seen by the spiritual bodies, and it’s the spirit that is being baptized!
“Hum!”
At this moment, Kong Xu’s spiritual body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. Without any wind, he slowly floated up and flew towards the Sky River.
The Sky River wasn’t big, only thirty feet long and three feet wide. The water was clear and transparent, crystal clear, making people yearn for it. The Sky River was rumored to be the mother river of the universe, nurturing countless powerful beings.
“It’s thirty feet long!”
Someone exclaimed, “When I advanced to the Eternal Level, it only showed a river that was fifteen feet long…”
Seeing the confusion of most of the talents, those of the Eternal Level explained, “The Sky River only appears when someone of the Sector Lord Level advances to the Eternal Level, and it varies in length…
“People have found that the longer the Sky River shows for people with good talent and high potential.”
“It can be said, the longer the Sky River, the higher the future achievement…”
“Although there is not much evidence, this is a summary of human history experience, validating the state of most at the Eternal Level…”
At this moment, even Kong Luo, Yu Miaoling, and others showed envy.
The Sky River that appeared when they advanced to the Eternal Level was not this long.
“I heard that the Sky River is measured in tens of feet, and every time it crosses ten feet, it reaches a new level…”
“Kong Xu is extremely talented, he has reached the top of the first level…”
“Unfortunately, he is only slightly lacking. If he could exceed thirty feet to reach thirty-three feet, he could reach the second level!”
Yu Shuiyao asked curiously, “Aunt, who are those who have reached the second level?”
Yu Miaoling pondered for a second and then said, “Our current clan leader of the Yu family has reached the second level. He had a Sky River that was sixty feet long!”
“Sixty feet?”
Yu Shuiyao was astonished, “Doesn’t this mean that our clan leader was slightly short of reaching the third level?”
Yu Miaoling shook her head and said with a tone of envy, “It is said among our senior elders in the Yu family that some have reached the third level.”
At this moment in the crowd, Kong Luo looked at a quiet old man standing next to him and asked curiously, “Senior, how long was the Sky River when you advanced?”
“Ah?”
The old man seemed to be immersed in memories, it took quite a while before he chuckled, “My Sky River was only thirty feet long…”
“What?”
Kong Luo was shocked, “Does this mean that Kong Xu might reach your level?”
The old man laughed and said, “The Sky River is actually a gift from heaven and earth in response to the potential of those advancing at the current stage…”
“But in the end, whether you can achieve this depends on your own hard work.
Don’t be too self-effacing, nor put too much trust in these things.”
“Believe in yourself!”
“Pow!”
In the middle of the field, the water of the Sky River was rippling like jade, slowly seeping into Kong Xu’s spiritual body.
With each segment that went in, Kong Xu’s spiritual body became three times stronger.
At this moment, his spirit was at its peak, and his aura was like a true dragon swimming around, almost visible to the ‘naked eye,’ hovering everywhere.
Kong Xu, dressed in white, sat quietly like a serene deity.
“0m! ”
Suddenly, Kong Xu took out the nine swords he carried with him, hovering around his spiritual body.
What was incredible was that the Sky River did not resist the flying swords, but included them, continuously washing over them.
At this moment, these nine half-divine artifacts, nourished by the Sky River, began to emit a far-reaching and immense aura.
The nine swords were about to advance to divine artifacts together with Kong xu!
“Hiss! ”
The crowd gasped, utterly shocked.
“He wants to advance his half-divine artifacts to divine artifacts together with him. Does that mean he’s going to have nine divine artifacts?!”
“Indeed, when someone at the Sector Lord Level advances to the Eternal Level, they can also advance their Life-Bound Equipment. Thus these nine swords should all advance to divine artifacts…”
“What? If that’s the case, what if we also give him two more half-divine artifacts?”
“It won’t work. Only the Life-Bound Equipment that is bound to his life can be baptized by the Sky River. Other half-divine artifacts are useless even if placed in the Sky River without his aura!”
“Even so, Kong Xu hit the jackpot, he actually has nine half-divine artifacts bound to his life…”
At this moment, even the strong at the Eternal Level showed a hint of envy, let alone the ordinary talents of the Sector Lord Level.
For them, owning a divine artifact was already a remarkable accomplishment, yet Kong Xu possessed nine of them!
“Clang! ”
Under the nurturing of the heavenly river, the nine swords began to hum, releasing an aura of the Dao. The laws of universe began to gather on their own, and started etching onto the nine swords. “My god, the birth of divine artifacts is happening in this way!”
“This is a kind of natural promotion mechanism…”
“The reason they can be promoted is because the materials used by his swords are not simple and have the sufficient foundations to level up to divine artifacts. Otherwise, conventional weapons, no matter how powerful they are, cannot be promoted.”
Everyone was filled with envy, these divine artifacts, nurtured to promotion by the heavenly river, often being matched with their souls. They were not only stronger than normal weapons, but in such a harmonious integration, they could exhibit 120% of the power of the divine artifact.
“Hum!” “Hum!” “Hum!” “Hum!” “Hum!”
With the continuous sound of the Dao, the nine swords in the sky started transitioning into divine artifacts. It was their shining moment.
The nine flying swords were all enveloped in divine light, like newborn gods looking down on all beings.
“Boom!”
Finally, when the last strand of the heavenly river in the sky disappeared, Kong Xu had reached the God Spirit Level.
“Clang! ”
Immediately after, the nine swords also started to hum lightly. They were brilliant and had successfully been promoted to divine artifacts.
“He succeeded!”
At this moment, everyone witnessed not only Kong Xu’s promotion to the God Spirit Level but also the transformation of his nine swords into divine artifacts.
“Whew.”
Kong Xu slowly opened his eyes. His body seemed to be inhabited by a god, divine brilliance flashed, and the glow was dazzling.
But soon, he hid his divine brilliance. At the same time, his body’s divine being, now shimmering in green, was absorbed into the world within his body. Kong Xu slowly descended to the ground and went to Du Gang’s side and said,
“Du Gang, thank you for bestowing me this opportunity, if necessary, I’m willing to lend my full strength once for you!”
His expression was sincere. There were no airs of conceit after the promotion, he sincerely said his thoughts.
Seeing this, Du Gang nodded and smiled: “Good, if I need, I will look for you!”
The people present were filled with mixed feelings. They were envious of Du Gang having someone willing to fight for him, but also admired Kong Xu’s courage.
After all, Du Gang was an Ancient God, a man with a terrifying curse. The promise he made was already very rare.
Kong Xu suddenly narrowed his eyes, glanced at Jiang Wenxing and others, and said with a faint smile, “Do you want me to help you kill Jiang Wenxing and the others?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxing retreated a step in fear, and Jiang Tianpeng vigilantly stared at him with a guarded face.
But Du Gang just laughed and said indifferently, “Is it necessary to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?”
“This Jiang Wenxing, being only a ninth rank sector lord, once I win the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, I’ll definitely cut him down!”
Kong Xu chuckled and nodded. He knew Du Gang would say that, but he still asked his question to make his attitude clear and at the same time intimidated Jiang Wenxing and others to apply some pressure.
Over there, Jiang Wenxing calmed down after hearing Du Gang’s words. He stared at Du Gang with a solemn expression and said seriously,
“In that case, I’ll wait for you. After the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, let’s fight to the death!”
He believed that when the news of this challenge today spread, his family would surely nurture him in full force. With the resources of the Jiang family, he had enough to catch up with the supremely powerful Du Gang.
Meanwhile, the eternal level powerhouses standing guard around also relaxed, tney came rorwara to congratulate Kong xu one arter anotner.
Not only them, the eternal level powerhouses from other forces also led their respective family’s talented disciples to congratulate him.
However, most of the attention of these young talents was focused on Du Gang.
This man was the key to whether or not they could reach the eternal state!
When the news of Kong Xu’s promotion to the eternal level spread throughout the universe, the whole world was stirred.
Those top geniuses who were still watching from other advanced cosmic nations all set off on this day, led by the divine beings from their respective clans, and rushed to the Pangu Continent.
Not just them, even Penglai Island, on this day, many top geniuses set off and arrived at the Pangu Continent.
After all, there are eighteen top-tier clans on Penglai Island, and only four had previously come to the Pangu Continent.
But on this day, all eighteen major families moved out, and the geniuses of all age groups set off.
In addition to them, hundreds or even thousands of small and medium-sized clans also started to move, all rushing to the Pangu Continent.
These small and medium-sized families, though not as powerful as the eighteen families, also had many God Spirit Level powerhouses. They all existed for countless years, with strong foundations and numerous disciples.
With the Golden Age opening and the situation being dramatic, on this day, the Pangu Continent was flooded with hundreds of millions of people. Many of them were eternal level powerhouses, who were rarely seen in the past!
At the same time, the video of Kong Xu’s promotion to the eternal level on the same day was also released, causing another huge stir.
Everyone was studying the video, watching the details again and again. When they saw Du Gang’s cultivation level reach the sixth rank of the Sector Lord level, everyone was shocked once again.
They were frightened by his terrifying talent.
Not to mention ordinary people, but only the top geniuses of all times. To improve from the first rank of the Sector Lord level to the second rank required one to two thousand years, and from the first rank to the sixth rank can probably take tens of thousands of years.
Yet Du Gang, in just one short month, had crossed a gap that others would need tens of thousands of years to cross.
Incredible!
The Ancient God Body was invincible and terrifying!
At the same time, there were quite a few powerful people who considered themselves highly capable and tried to sneak into the Virtual Universe Company to get a glimpse of Du Gang.
However, before they could enter, they were discovered by the strong men of the Kong Family, who fought and killed them.
It took several waves of culling for the world to understand that the Kong Family spares no effort in protecting the Ancient God.
Still, there were martial arts experts who confidently broke in.
They are some Second Rank God Spirits, who often come from Penglai Island; they know the Kong Family relatively well and dare to continuously test its flexibility.
However, without exception, no matter how strong these people are, they are always blocked by the Kong Family.
This time, the person responsible for Du Gang’s safety is not merely Kong Luo. His cultivation of Rank One God Spirit is no longer sufficient to handle the scenes on the Pangu Continent.
The Kong Family urgently assigned a general from the Kong Army to sit in, and additionally, there were a hundred thousand Kong soldiers accompanying him.
These hundred thousand Kong soldiers are ten units of ten thousand men each, each led by a commander.
Each commander has reached the level of Second Rank God Spirit, while their sub-commanders are at the level of Rank One God Spirit.
This means that the hundred thousand Kong army has ten Second Rank God Spirits and a hundred Rank One God Spirits. Furthermore, they are organized into army units and have undergone rigorous long-term training. They have an incredibly powerful battle array, capable of standing against hundreds with just one.
Moreover, the general of the Kong Army, who is sitting on the top, is unfathomably powerful!
This strong force makes the entire Virtual Universe Company’s station as solid as a fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack!
At this moment, Du Gang is on his way to visit the general in the Kong Army with Kong Luo and Kong Xu.
Kong Luo and Kong Xu, although they are top talents and sequential disciples in the Kong Family, they still need to be very respectful when facing a general of the Kong Army.
After all, in any place, strength often represents everything, especially in large families.
Although the sequential disciples have special protection, they will be punished if they show disrespect to the strong, and in severe cases, they may even lose their lives.
“Remember, once you go in, you must speak carefully. General Qingyu is not an ordinary person. His strength is unfathomable…”
Kong Luo is leading the way, taking the two to the tent, and at the same time, he is whispering reminders.
Du Gang and Lord Kong Xu looked at each other, nodded their heads, but their expressions became serious.
These days, there have been many people who tried to rush into the Virtual Universe Company’s station, but no matter how strong they were, they were all blocked by the Kong Army. This is enough to show their strength.
In fact, some of the strong ones even made Du Gang feel stronger than Kong Luo, but without exception, they were also eliminated.
So, he was very confident in this Kong Army, which was specifically responsible for protecting his life.
The Kong Family, which established itself with the supreme technique of Void Palm Seal, also uses blue tents. When they arrived at the camp, all they saw were blue tents. If you don’t look carefully, you would think you are in a grassland.
Soon, under the lead of a soldier, the three of them arrived in front of a notably bigger tent in the center of the camp.
After the soldier arrived here, he pointed at the tent before turning to leave.
The three of them immediately tidied up their outfits to ensure proper neatness before confidently raising their heads and going inside, one after another, lifting up the curtain and going in.
Upon entering, they were stunned to see a huge palace in front of them, with two soldiers stationed in front of the palace.
“This is an internal space within the tent!”
Kong Luo exclaimed, “This is Life Space, it’s actually combined with the tent…”
Life Space capable of containing living things, which are in high demand in the outside world, was hidden inside the general’s tent.
Upon reaching the palace entrance, one soldier stepped forward, saying expressionlessly and resolutely, “The general has ordered that you can go straight in without needing to be announced.”
Upon saying that, the two men stepped aside in succession.
Based on their cultivation, Du Gang slightly relaxed.
Fortunately, these two gatekeepers, although they looked very strong, only had the cultivation of Sector Lord Peak, and were not so extravagant to use God Spirit Level powerhouses as gatekeepers.
However, thinking about it, it seemed impossible; after all, even within the eighteen major clans, God Spirits are undoubtedly strong, so how could they be doing gatekeeping duties?
“I wonder if the powerful clans on the Primordial Continent have God Spirit
Level gatekeepers…”
“What did you say?”
Even when Du Gang muttered ever so quietly, the two guards heard and asked.
Seeing their ready-to-fight demeanor, Du Gang was startled and waved his hands, “I said nothing!”
He wasn’t afraid of these two men, but in this army, they are all together, with deep camaraderie. If you provoke one, you may incur the discontent and resistance of all.
So, it is better not to provoke if possible, after all, they are here to protect his life!
The two guards did not take the opportunity to make trouble and, once assured that Du Gang was not speaking ill of them, stood like statues again on both sides of the palace.
“Let’s go, let’s go in!”
Kong Luo seemed rather scared, reminiscent of a primary school student going to see the principal, appearing extremely restrained.
Soon, the three of them entered one after another.
Inside the hall, it was much simpler than they had imagined. Upon entering the main door, there was a particularly grand conference hall. At a glance, it seemed able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Kong Luo whispered, “This tent with a Life Space should be standard issue for a general-class powerhouse, which can be carried with the legion…”
“Unlike the world inside the small universe where the laws are incomplete and have suppressive effects, they can freely cultivate and sense all different laws inside this Life Space!”
Du Gang nodded, a hint of envy in his eyes.
After all, this Life Space is obviously much larger than the one Du Kang left him.
However, he was not disappointed. He had been lucky enough to have a Life Space at the Sector Lord level, merging it into his inner world in advance.
At this moment, the main hall is very spacious and there is no one in it. At the end, there are two doors standing there.
The three of them quickly walked over, and after pulling on one, they found it was tightly closed. Even when Kong Luo exerted his Eternal Strength, he wasn’t able to pull it open.
So, they entered through the door that could be pulled open.
Who would’ve thought that behind this massive gate is an entirely different world, a gigantic martial training ground. At this moment, some soldiers were forming and training in battle formations on the field.
“Haa!”
“Hei!”
Watching over there, groups of ten or a hundred soldiers were shouting out commands, the three of them quickened their pace and swiftly moved past them.
They finally arrived at the rear of the compound, where they could see the tent symbolizing the General’s quarters.
When they reached the tent, the three men exchanged glances.
Could there possibly be another world or space inside?
With this thought in mind, they pushed the door open and entered.
Fortunately, it was just an ordinary tent, which eased their worry. A middle-aged man full of resilience and strength sat on a chair wrapped in tiger skin.
“You’re here!”
The man spoke calmly, his voice was heavily yet clear, akin to a bell ringing under a thousand jin weight.
Kong Luo immediately led the salute, “General Qingyu!”
Even though he had never met the general in person, he was able to recognize him from his image.
“Hmm!”
General Qingyu casually replied and pointed to the three prepared chairs, calmly saying: “Sit!”
Hearing this, the three quickly sat down.
First, he looked at Kong Xu with approval in his eyes. He smiled and asked, “I heard that your Tianhe has reached ten zhang?”
It was obvious that he was a serious and stern man. The smile he now showed was somewhat uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xu quickly nodded, “Yes, it has reached ten zhang!”
“Good job! ”
General Qingyu complimented him once again and added, “If you fail the sequential disciple assessment, you can consider joining my Demon Suppression Legion…”
The Kong Family treated all disciples equally. If they had talent and power, they would be treated as focus training subjects and provided with continuous resources and protection.
However, if their sequential assessment failed, they would have to make a choice – either to join the army or take a critical position and make their contribution.
“Demon Suppression Legion?”
Kong Xu looked confused as this was the first time he’s heard of it.
General Qingyu smirked, “You have just reached the God Spirit Level, so you are not aware. The Demon Suppression Legion is a force stationed by my Kong Family on the Primordial Continent, fighting in a demonic abyss there…”
“A demonic abyss?” Kong Xu wanted to learn more about the Primordial Continent because only with Eternal Level strength could one cross the ‘eggshell’.
General Qingyu nodded and said, “The demonic abyss is a forbidden area on the Primordial Continent. It’s bottomless and contains an uncommunicative demonic race. Killing them gives divine crystals, and there are countless treasures inside the abyss. Our Kong family and the other seventeen clans all have their Demon Suppression Legions there…”
Kong Xu nodded in understanding. He then moved onto a new question:
“General, what’s the Kong Family’s status on that faraway continent?”
Although he was previously a personal disciple, he still didn’t qualify to know the situation of the Primordial Continent. Now that he has advanced to the Eternal Level, he naturally wants to understand it better.
General Qingyu gave a faint smile, “On the Primordial Continent, there are more than a hundred divine races, more than a thousand royal races, and countless other races. Our Kong Family alone isn’t considered much.”
“But when all eighteen of us are combined, our cosmic human race is just barely squeezed into the end of the royal race, which makes us one of the thousand royal races on the Primordial Continent!”
“However, even though we are just a royal race, we are allied with the Nuwa
Divine Clan, the Taisui Spirit Race, the Azure Flood Dragon Clan, the Purple
Heavenly Eagle Clan, and the Fighting Saint Clan!”
“These five races are among the top hundred Divine Clans, and all have marital ties with our Penglai Island. It is said that the four unique families on our Penglai Island, the Ling, Dragon, Eagle, and Sun families, are branches of these four Divine Clans…
Seeing their confusion, he laughed and continued: “This is all the way back to when the cosmos was first opened. Over ten billion years ago, the cosmic human race had just been born, was extremely weak, and didn’t have much of a say on the Primordial Continent. Our ability to obtain resources was also limited…”
“At that time, the predecessors of our cosmic human races, in order to develop, persuaded the Nuwa Clan to join them and eventually formed a long-lasting marital alliance with the Purple Heavenly Eagle Clan in the sky, the Fighting Saint Clan on the ground, the Azure Flood Dragon Clan in the water, and the Taisui Spirit Clan underground. We gradually developed
“One could say that these four clans were the first and strongest four forces of our Penglai Island .
“Our Kong Family, including the other Qin, Xia, Yu families, and so on, only developed later!”
Du Gang was dumbfounded on the spot.
He could understand mating with dragons, eagles, or monkeys, but how did they mate with the Taisui Clan?
It seemed to guess their confusion, and General Qingyu lightly laughed, “Most races on the Primordial Continent have two forms, one is the primitive form, the other is the human form…”
Upon hearing this, Du Gang was taken aback and felt a bit embarrassed.
He had assumed that the ancestors of the cosmic human race had bred with great perseverance. But it turns out these divine races could transform into human forms. He had thought too fast that General Qingyu didn’t even have the chance to explain.
“So that’s how it is!”
Kong Xu finally understood, he had already felt that the Little Hawk King’s wings were too conspicuous and didn’t look like a normal human. Now it all made sense, these four races were not only cosmic humans but were also branches of the four Divine clans on the Primordial Continent.
But then immediately, he asked curiously, “What about the Nuwa Divine Clan? Haven’t they formed a marital alliance with us?”
General Qingyu shook his head, “We were created by Nuwa, so we could be considered descendants of Nuwa. People from the Nuwa Clan rarely marry us. Only a few outstanding and powerful individuals qualified to marry into the
Nuwa Clan…
“Understood!”
Kong Xu nodded and responded, “If I ever fall out of the rank of sequential disciples one day, I will definitely consider joining General Qingyu’s Demon Suppression Legion first!”
Though, he was looking with puzzlement at the Sector Lord level soldiers training outside.
General Qingyu seems to understand his thoughts and explains with a faint smile, “My Demon Suppression Legion is currently on a mission in the abyss. The ten armies of ten thousand here are just regular Kong Family armies!” Upon hearing this, Kong Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
If the so-called Demon Suppression Legion is truly that weak, then Du Gang might not join at all. Because by the time he becomes a Sequential Disciple, his strength might be even stronger.
The Ten-Chi Heavenly River is also something he can be proud of!
Qingyu nodded, finally looking past Kong Xu and glancing at Du Gang.
“Ancient God…”
He looked carefully for a moment, noticing that there was no difference in appearance between the Ancient God and ordinary human races.
Well… In fact, the Ancient God seemed to be even more handsome than the ordinary human race.
Qingyu shook his head, tossing these miscellaneous thoughts out of his head, and spoke, “Regarding you, I have only one thing to say: before you advance to the God Spirit Level, do not leave the camp. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. Furthermore, if you have to leave for some unavoidable reason, remember to find me…”
“Also, the conflicts you have with Sector Lords, our Kong Family Army, will not get involved! ”
Du Gang had no objections to his cautionary measures, and it was similar to what Kong Luo said, so he nodded in agreement.
“Now, go back!”
After saying that, Qingyu lost interest, closed his eyes again, and began to rest.
Seeing this, Kong Luo quickly led the two away from there.
Only when they returned to the edge of the camp, to Du Gang’s new dwelling, did the three of them slowly sigh in relief.
Although the dwelling is near to the camp, it belongs exclusively to Du Gang alone, and outsiders cannot enter without his permission.
“The oppressive atmosphere in the military camp is too strong!”
“Not only that, I felt that the general’s aura is truly terrifying. I was always worried that he would lose his temper…”
At this moment, the first one who couldn’t stand it was Kong Luo.
He was the strongest among them and naturally felt it the most intensely. At this moment, he couldn’t stop his outpouring of emotion.
Although he had reached ten million years of age, he was still considered a young person among the cosmic human race, and was still a sequential disciple. Therefore, he was unfamiliar with these armies going to fight in the Primordial Continent.
He was surprised this time. “I didn’t expect this general’s strength to be so formidable…”
He originally thought that it was just an ordinary general who was coming, but it turned out that it was a general from the Demon Suppression Army.
If it was an ordinary general, according to the Kong Family Army’s organization, it might be a Third Tribulation God Spirit Level powerhouse.
But as for a general from the Demon Suppression Army, he had no idea how strong Qingyu was.
“Phew!”
Kong Luo exhaled and looked at Du Gang before slowly saying, “I’m going to return to Penglai Island to report on my mission. With General Qingyu here, you should be safe…” “You’re leaving?”
“Yes!”
Kong Luo laughed lightly, “Actually, I took on a Sequential Disciples’ task this time. Now that General Qingyu is here and your safety is guaranteed, I can go back and report on my mission…”
Du Gang turned his head to look at Kong Xu and asked, “What about you? Are you going back too?”
Kong Xu nodded, “Yes, I just broke through to the Eternal Level so I need to return to Penglai to receive the appointment of being a Sequential Disciple. Moreover, there are some Eternal Level matters I need to understand!”
He was excited, “You don’t know. Our Penglai Island is very strictly information blocked. Normally, depending on your strength, they will tell you some secrets of different levels…”
“And, I’m going to the Primordial Continent!”
His eyes shone with excitement as he said, “You don’t know, I grew up listening to the legends of the Primordial Continent. I’ve been looking at that ‘eggshell’ for nearly twenty thousand years, and now, I finally have the chance to go in!”
He thought for a moment and added, “If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to contact me at any time. As long as I haven’t entered the Primordial Continent, I will be at your service!”
“Alright!”
Du Gang nodded, agreeing.
It’s not like he wouldn’t see them again. When he reached the Eternal Level in the future, he would also go see what the Primordial Continent is like.
To see what problems there were in the place where the Ancient Gods escaped from
“Du Gang, I hope you will reach the Eternal Level soon. When that time comes, let’s explore the Primordial Continent together…”
Kong Xu laughed, “After a long journey together, it’s time to part ways. You stay here, we’ll be off!”
Du Gang was speechless, ‘I didn’t plan on seeing you off!’
In this way, Kong Xu and Kong Luo tore through space, intending to step in.
“Don’t mention me. I could go…”
Kong Xu brushed off Kong Luo’s hand that was grabbed onto the back of his collar, saying unhappy.
“Hehe.”
Kong Luo laughed lightly. He then grabbed him again, saying, “You go nowhere, wait till you have cultivated the laws of space!”
Then, the two of them quickly disappeared into the crack in space.
Watching the two disappear, Du Gang’s mind also returned.
“Next, there’s slightly more than four months until the finals of the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition. I need to plan carefully, what I should do in these four months!”
This time, his goal was not only to win the first place at the finals four months later, but also to prepare for the upcoming challenges from the strongest geniuses in the entire universe!
He was confident about this because his strength had completely transformed from before!
