NOVPUB"Demon Suppressing Golden Ring!"
Bai Han's face turned pale with shock.
Seven years ago, it was with this Sect Magical Artifact that the Ten Thousand Laws War God had suppressed him, rendering him immobile. Every time he thought of it over the past seven years, he was filled with lingering fear. He had not expected that the Ten Thousand Laws War God would actually bestow such a Supreme Treasure to Zhuge Qing.
Now it descended over his head.
Truly unavoidable.
Boom!
Bursts of Golden Light enveloped Bai Han.
"Open!"
Bai Han roared.
However, the power of the Demon Suppressing Golden Ring was formidable; he could not break free at all, just as it was seven years ago.
"Impossible!"
"I am the Steel God, invincible in this world; how dare this mere golden ring bind me!"
Bai Han seemed to be driven into a frenzy, and while he roared, the Qi around his body surged higher and higher, as if it was about to transform into an Iron Body again. However, there were continuous thuds, and still, he was firmly trapped by the Demon Suppressing Golden Ring.
Unable to change even the slightest.
His mind stirred, and the Geng Metal Qi between heaven and earth turned into sword light after sword light slashing down towards the Golden Light.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of striking metal and stone continued incessantly but was still futile.
"This is the Supreme Treasure bestowed by the Sect Leader, known as the 'Demon Suppressing Golden Ring.' Whether you are a War God or a Steel God, once trapped, do not think of escaping."
"Don't waste your efforts."
Seeing that Bai Han was finally subdued, Zhuge Qing was shocked by the potency of the Demon Suppressing Golden Ring, yet he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
It was good that he had these Magical Artifacts bestowed by the Sect Leader.
Otherwise, with Bai Han ascending to become a Steel God and attacking, in the absence of the Sect Leader, they would have no other choice but to avoid confrontation.
But with Magical Artifacts in hand.
The situation changed immediately.
Outside of Yishan, the veteran War Gods like the Undying War God, the Thunder God, and the Void War God all had high hopes, but upon seeing that Bai Han couldn't even pass the First Layer, they couldn't help but exchange glances.
"Fire God is invincible!"
"Earth God is victorious!"
"Power God is mighty!"
Within Yishan, the evolvers of Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate burst out with earth-shattering cheers.
Outside Yishan.
Numerous evolvers were watching the battle.
The Steel God was subdued and still refused to leave. From inside Yishan, one after another, figures, whether human or Exotic Beasts, rose into the air, all at least of the War God Level.
Wang Yu, Zhang Jin, Sun Junjun, Dong Yunyang, Wang Meng, Qian Xiaoyu, and others were all present.
Over a hundred in total.
"Hiss!"
The surrounding evolvers took one look and immediately gasped. They dared not stay any longer and left right away.
From then on.
The Steel God's first battle after breaking through to Lv 3.0 ended in failure.
No one could have expected—
Bai Han, coming with a fierce momentum, carrying the might of the Steel God descending upon Yishan to avenge past humiliation, ended up not even seeing the face of the Ten Thousand Laws Demon before being jointly subdued by the Ten Thousand Laws Three Gods.
Suppressed in Yishan.
The world was stunned!
...
Layers upon layers stretching into the vast Void, where no visitor comes and even birds and beasts pass through.
Like a pillar, the floating stupa on the sea stands up tall, a majestic peak from the ground to the sky.
Among the thirty-six large peaks and thirty-six minor peaks of Yishan, located in the northern part, there's a minor peak called 'Pagoda Peak.'
Within it, a space has been carved out, where Lu Qingfeng sits cross-legged in meditation.
Suddenly.
A violent tremor surged through his Sea of Consciousness, feeling as if the invisible grand trend of heaven and earth was tilting towards him.
"Fortune!"
Lu Qingfeng was deeply familiar with this feeling.
Back in the Red Smoke Realm, as the Fufeng Mountain God, he was endowed with the fortune of heaven and earth.
While he was in control of the Soul Searching Temple, suppressing the Changqing Realm for two hundred years, he was favored by the fortune of heaven and earth.
Which accelerated his cultivation remarkably.
In this lifetime.
Although only atop a star within the Galaxy Realm, ever since Lu Qingfeng conquered Yishan twelve years ago and established the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate, his fortune surged, and his cultivation speed far exceeded the previous thirty-one years.
In the battle where Bai Han was defeated, there was almost a visible influx of fortune rolling in.
His cultivation speed advanced even further.
At this moment.
Inside Yishan, Bai Han was defeated again, and although the defeat was at the hands of Qian Yu and the others, the additional fortune was attributed to the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate, culminating upon Lu Qingfeng's head.
His personal fortune becoming ever more profound.
"Since the post-apocalyptic world, Bai Han has dominated alone, with profound fortune upon him. Yet after two defeats, the favor of heaven and earth and thousands of fortunes severely waned."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Thinking of this old acquaintance, he couldn't help but sigh.
When he first arrived at the Galaxy Realm in the fifteenth cycle, the first person he met was Bai Han. It was at that moment that the apocalypse descended, and Lu Qingfeng perished.
It was a brief encounter.
Seven years later, they met again.
One was the Steel God, looked up to by thousands of evolvers, even worshipped as a faith.
The other was the notorious Ten Thousand Laws Demon, despised by everyone.
Before they could properly catch up—
Once Bai Han discovered Lu Qingfeng's identity, he immediately engaged in battle. Lu Qingfeng had no choice but to suppress him, and after half a day upon analyzing his superpower of controlling and exchanging fusion with metals for mutual enhancement, he left.
Thus, their relationship tore completely.
Bygone affections turn to naught.
Bai Han could have continued his meteoric rise, but now, having had his fortune snatched away twice in succession, he faces setbacks and no longer possesses the unstoppable might of his previous fifty-nine years.
"Such profound and incredible fortune Bai Han possessed."
"Even with two defeats, he still far surpasses the average person."
But he can no longer match his former self.
If he cannot properly handle the discrepancy, it poses a hidden threat to Bai Han's future.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, his thoughts turning to himself, "Bai Han's fortune tilted towards me and the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate. If not for the lack of popular support for Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate, with my strength and the sect's foundation, out of the world's fortune divided into ten parts, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate could have claimed at least seven."
Regrettable indeed.
But Lu Qingfeng is not remorseful.
Establishing Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate was first and foremost for conveniently gathering various cultivation resources and rapidly enhancing his own cultivation level.
Forty-three years since his arrival in this world.
In such a short time, he climbed from Postnatal all the way to the Spirit Void Realm and is now at the Spirit Void Divine Silence level.
Apart from the surging spiritual tides and fortune's blessing.
Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate gathering resources has spared Lu Qingfeng from having to travel everywhere, making a significant contribution.
Furthermore.
Acquiring various superpowers was not something Lu Qingfeng could achieve on his own. Even if he could manage it, it would inevitably delay his cultivation.
Hence, Lu Qingfeng conquered Yishan and formed Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate. Through 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment' and countless Spirit Pills and marvelous medicines, he cultivated innumerable masters.
Such as Qian Yu, Wang Yu, and other veterans who followed him from Bahe Travel Bus Station early on are now renowned War God-level experts throughout Blue Star.
Previously obscure figures like Zhang Sun and Zhuge Qing also emerged, revered alongside Qian Yu as 'Ten Thousand Laws Three Gods', unparalleled in their time.
Not just them.
The entire Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate—
Has two hundred War God-level experts comparable to Spirit Void Practitioners.
Below them, innumerable Superpower Kings comparable to Foundation Establishment are even more numerous.
Most are scattered across Blue Star, seeking all manner of mysterious and powerful, bizarre and strange superpowers. In short, anything not listed on Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate's 'Ten Thousand Laws List' should be brought back to Yishan.
In just twelve years.
Lu Qingfeng 'Derivation - Analysis' produced over ten thousand types of superpowers.
If everyone was happy, who would willingly allow Lu Qingfeng to analyze their superpower?
From the moment Lu Qingfeng took an interest in superpowers, he was destined to stand against most evolutionists.
"There's no perfect solution in the world."
Lu Qingfeng chuckled, extending his hand and wiping through the air, causing a dense virtual panel to appear before him.
This is Lu Qingfeng's harvest over the years.
A total of ten thousand and ninety-one superpowers.
Among them, low-level techniques number seven thousand six hundred and forty.
Middle-level number two thousand eight hundred and fifty-five.
High-level number three hundred and eighty-six.
Super-level number thirty-four.
Divine Skills number six.
So many superpowers, even just exchanging them, would consume an Experience Value that's not a small number. Especially for those six Divine Power Level abilities, it would take tens of millions of Experience Value to acquire.
Various super, high, middle, and low-level techniques levels all appear insignificant alone, but together they also total a significant amount of Experience Value.
"No rush to exchange."
"No rush to fuse or enhance either."
"Focus on cultivation first."
Lu Qingfeng knew what mattered.
Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate has made countless enemies on Blue Star, and although with his current strength, even Lv 3.0 evolutionists comparable to Core Formation can be easily suppressed.
But he fears when Blue Star's evolutionists rise to Lv 4.0, comparable to Primordial Spirit Experts, and he remains oblivious, still lingering in the Spirit Void Stage.
When such powerhouses emerge and he tries to catch up, it would be too late.
"Ascend to Core Formation first, return to the Gathering Law Realm. After that, during the search process for Earth Evil Yin Vein and Heavenly Gang Qi, when cultivation stagnates, then it's not too late to use the Experience Value for fusion and enhancement."
Lu Qingfeng's thoughts were clear.
The Galaxy Realm is vast.
Blue Star is but one among its stars.
If due to exchanging these superpowers at hand, his cultivation stagnates, that would be a case of putting the cart before the horse.
So he focused on cultivating.
In his spare time, he would refine Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, provide enlightenment for his disciples, and boost their strength.
Thus, there was no need to be distracted by the outside world.
Even if heavenly beings attack, Qian Yu, Zhang Sun, and Zhuge Qing could handle it with composure.
Wang Yu, Zhang Jin, and other Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Gate War Gods were the mainstays of the sect. Even if the world turns against them, as long as two hundred War Gods remain, they could stand unshaken on Blue Star.
And as long as Lu Qingfeng remains invincible, both benevolent and awe-inspiring, no fear of two hundred War Gods escaping his control.
Feeling the end of battles within Yishan, one by one, powerful evolutionists leave in dismay.
Lu Qingfeng continued his cultivation.
Progress in the "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill" was rapid, which in turn sped up the other three major Magic Gates. Shortly after entering the Divine Silence Realm, he was progressing toward the Fusion Realm.
At the same time.
He also continuously pondered Divine Skills over the years.
With the help of 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment', there was no need to push every time to the limit; once Divine Soul consumption reached a certain level, he would stop voluntarily. Although not fully satisfying, recovery from such Divine Soul exhaustion requires a vast amount of resources and twenty years of recuperation to avoid risks.
Even the strength would be impacted when the Divine Soul is weak.
It's better to follow the gentle and continuous approach.
This ensures no dangerous periods of extreme Divine Soul weakness and avoids consuming too many resources for recovery.
After computing.
Twenty years of intermittent contemplation equals the progress of reaching the limit with 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment'.
Given twenty years of contemplation, it's equal to the normal two hundred years. Already in the Black Star Realm, with three thousand years of cosmic practice, Lu Qingfeng brought fifteen Divine Skills and twelve Great Divine Powers to the entry level.
And then he focused more on Divine Skills like 'Transformation Art', 'Cloud Peak Steps' along with Great Divine Powers like 'Five-Colored Divine Light', 'Invisibility Technique', 'Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall', and 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number' – life-saving Divine Skills.
Among them, the most profound 'Five-Colored Divine Light' that serves both attack and defense, can wipe out people and Magic Artifacts, the most comprehensive, highly valued by Lu Qingfeng. Continuous contemplation, although he didn't know how long it would take to reach the Small Success Stage, at least now it is comparable to the accomplishments of an ordinary practitioner who has devoted themselves to five thousand years of arduous effort.
