Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Divine General’s Task, Frantically Expanding Power, Cultivation Ascends to the Realm of Heavenly Gods
"Pay homage to the Human Emperor!"
"Pay homage to the Human Emperor!"
...
One after another, figures knelt before Ren Changsheng.
"Ba Di, issue the command to swiftly expand our influence. Remember, should anyone dare refuse to comply, kill them without mercy!"
Ren Changsheng spoke in a cold voice.
"Yes, yes!"
The eyes of the three Ba Di burned with fervor.
"Master, we also wish to embark on training missions!"
Unable to hold themselves back, Jin Chi (Gold Wing) and Di Sha stepped forward and said, feeling overshadowed when the Ba Di trio, once inferior in cultivation levels to them, now surpassed them both.
How could Ba Di and Jin Chi bear it? If they did not put forth effort now, they feared that they would lose their right to speak in front of their master altogether.
"This..."
Ren Changsheng cracked a smile; opening a spirit pet training mission last time had cost one hundred thousand low-grade Divine Crystals, and this time it would require ten million just to open another one.
"Seize Divine Crystals!"
A glimmer of cold light rose in Ren Changsheng’s eyes.
"Cough cough... Opening a spirit pet training mission requires ten million low-grade Divine Crystals; this time, you’ll have to rely on yourselves!"
Ren Changsheng said lightly, looking at Di Sha and the others, then coughed softly.
"Divine Crystals? That’s easy to handle, master. Just wait for Di Sha and I to go out and have a magnificent fight; we’ll bring back ten million Divine Crystals in three days!"
Di Sha said, his face full of pride.
"Go then!"
"Yes!"
Di Sha and Jin Chi turned and left, filled with excitement.
Ren Changsheng, accompanied by Ling’er, entered the Purple Flame Divine Palace.
"Xiao Xing, what are my chances of successfully signing in at the Ten Thousand Barren Mountains now?"
Ren Changsheng asked Xiao Xing (Little Star).
"The Heavenly Genius Stele of the Ten Thousand Barren Mountains has a total of ten slots. If the master wishes to be at the top of the list, you must defeat the top-ranked genius to complete the sign-in task!"
The voice of Xiao Xing came through.
"How powerful is the top-ranked genius?"
Ren Changsheng asked in a deep voice.
"Nine tiers of Divine Emperor, Supreme Divine Physique!"
The voice of Xiao Xing sounded.
"What?"
Ren Changsheng inhaled sharply. Supreme Divine Physique? That’s the strongest constitution in the Divine Realm, a being with the Supreme Divine Physique is rumored to be at the level of a Divine Emperor at birth, and may eventually ascend to the Supreme Realm.
As for Divine Emperor, that’s an existence at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm. Without the Supreme being present, the Divine Emperor is an invincible existence.
"How long has this person been cultivating?"
Ren Changsheng asked solemnly.
"Three years!"
The voice of Xiao Xing came through.
"Three years, that is... three years old!"
Ren Changsheng’s mouth twitched. It was infuriating to compare oneself to others—in this case, a three-year-old had become a Divine Emperor? What sort of terrifying monster was this?
It appeared that Ren Changsheng had somewhat underestimated the Divine Realm.
"The sign-in task will have to wait for now. This person has the Supreme Divine Physique, and is also a Divine Emperor; I need to reach the level of a Divine Emperor myself before I can enter the Ten Thousand Barren Mountains!"
Ren Changsheng silently thought to himself.
"Cultivate!"
Sitting cross-legged, Ren Changsheng entered into cultivation.
In the following days.
The Purple Flame Divine Palace was indeed calmer, as a group led by Ba Di went out to expand their influence, subjugating all the nearby forces, large and small.
Di Sha and Jin Chi had also vanished, no one knew where they had run off to.
"Congratulations master, the Human Emperor Palace has been elevated to a level four force, your marshal cultivation has ascended to the pinnacle of Divine King, and your own cultivation has advanced to the initial stage of a Heavenly God!"
The voice of Xiao Xing sounded in Ren Changsheng’s mind.
"Can the task of a marshal also be upgraded?"
Ren Changsheng asked Xiao Xing.
"If master’s marshal and spirit pets complete their missions, master will receive numerous rewards that may include items or cultivation level increase."
"Because the master’s last spirit pet training performance was too low, there were no rewards, but for every increase in force level reaching four, master will consistently obtain certain rewards!"
The voice of Xiao Xing came through.
"So that’s how it is!"
Ren Changsheng’s eyes flashed with light, as he surmised that the lack of reward last time was due to Di Sha and Jin Chi’s poor performance during their trial.
Even Di Sha and Jin Chi had received only ten Bloodline Purification crystals.
"Summon Ba Di and the others!"
"Yes, yes!"
Outside the palace, several disciples of the Divine Kings rapidly retreated, and a quarter of an hour later, Ba Di and three others, accompanied by several Divine Kings, approached the Divine Palace.
"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"
"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"
...
All prostrated themselves in front of the Divine Palace.
"Ba Di, what gains have you made these past days?"
Ren Changsheng asked coldly.
"Reporting to my lord, there are now eleven Divine Kings and forty-eight Divine Monarchs in our Divine Emperor Palace, with the number of Deities and True Gods exceeding three hundred!"
Ba Di hurriedly reported.
Behind Ba Di, both the Purple Flame Divine King and the War God King were equally aflame with eagerness. In only three days, the power of the Divine Emperor Palace had increased a hundredfold.
"Continue expanding!"
Ren Changsheng commanded indifferently.
"Yes, my lord!"
Ba Di quickly responded.
"Divine Emperor, your disciple has something to report!"
At that moment, Purple Flame Divine King stepped forward, speaking urgently.
"What is it?"
Ren Changsheng asked dispassionately.
"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, we have suppressed the entire region within a million miles. If we wish to grow further, I fear we may provoke the Heavenly Dao Sect!"
Purple Flame Divine King said in a low voice.
"Heavenly Dao Sect!"
A glint flashed in Ren Changsheng’s eyes. Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the ten great powers of the human race, with its leader - the Heavenly Dao Emperor, renowned far and wide.
"Never mind the Heavenly Dao Sect, just kill them all!"
Ren Changsheng declared coldly.
The development of the Divine Emperor Palace would inevitably lead to clashes with other major powers. As long as his and the Divine Emperor Palace’s strength increased, what was there to fear from a clash?
If need be, they would annihilate the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"Yes!"
A brilliant light gleamed in Ba Di’s eyes. The Purple Flame Divine King and War God King also took a deep breath – even consider challenging the Heavenly Dao Sect?
Ren Changsheng was truly domineering.
"What are you waiting for? Conquer Tianyuan City nearby. If the Divine Kings inside won’t submit, then kill them!"
Ba Di commanded chillingly.
"Yes, yes!"
The group quickly dispersed.
A surge of light burst forth in the eyes of the Purple Flame Divine King and War God King. What was there to fear from confronting the Heavenly Dao Sect? With the Son of Destiny on their side, they were destined to rule over the human race.
"Changsheng Big Brother, I’ve advanced to the True God realm!"
At this moment, Ling’er’s voice rang out excitedly; behind Ren Changsheng, the aura around Ling’er had climbed to the realm of True God.
"This little one is nearly at her peak!"
Ren Changsheng pulled Ling’er into his embrace. Currently, Ling’er’s belly was slightly swollen, with the aura of life within already at the realm of Deity.
"Our baby will soon be born!"
Ling’er said, her face blushing with shyness.
"Hehehe... What’s the rush? When they arrive, I’ll gift them a realm of gods. Hereafter, that realm shall be their backyard!"
Ren Changsheng declared with pride.
"Giggle giggle giggle!"
Laughter echoed from within the Divine Palace.
"Awww, awww, awww!"
"You bunch of fools, daring to chase after your grandpa Di Sha! It was just a few treasures stolen from you guys, is it worth the chase? Jin Chi, make a quick escape... Awww, awww, awww..."
A series of howling sounds spread. A hundred miles away from the Divine Palace, Di Sha and Jin Chi could be seen frantically fleeing, with at least a hundred figures in pursuit.
The weakest among these pursuers were Deities, and a few of the strongest were already at the peak realm of Divine Kings.
"Quickly subdue this tiger, it carries the bloodline of the White Tiger Divine Beast. Bring it back to our sect, it will definitely be worth a lot of cultivation resources!"
"And that great bird, it’s the Golden Winged Great Peng bloodline..."
...
Excited voices echoed through the void, as over a hundred people surrounded Di Sha and Jin Chi. If not for Jin Chi’s ability to teleport instantly, the two might have already been trapped.
