Chapter 1432 - 306: Newly Promoted Divine Lord

Chapter 1432: Chapter 306: Newly Promoted Divine Lord

The dead silent river flowed through the void, its vastness extending far beyond sight.

Any living being unwittingly swept into it soon fell silent forever.

Regardless of whether it was an ordinary Divine Realm or a Half-Step Divine King, they were like ants in the face of the Death Tide.

Amidst the void.

A figure was frantically fleeing.

"Damn it... the Death Tide... it’s really the Death Tide!"

The Overlord Divine Monarch’s face was filled with rage.

He had just been resurrected, only to immediately encounter the Death Tide, something he hadn’t anticipated.

The terror of the Death Tide was something that the Overlord Divine Monarch, as an ancient powerhouse, knew all too well.

Had it been his prime, it would be different.

Even if he inadvertently entered the Death Tide, he would’ve had the confidence to escape unscathed.

But in his current state, entering the Death Tide meant almost certain death.

Death!

Of course, he was afraid.

If he weren’t afraid, he wouldn’t have left a contingency plan, desiring to live a second life.

Thus, upon seeing the arrival of the Death Tide, the Overlord Divine Monarch’s first instinct was to flee.

Vibrations shook the void.

The river of death flowed.

Wherever the river passed, it seemed to devour everything cleanly, with no living beings remaining.

Void traversal.

Shen Changqing urged his power, desperately fleeing through the sky.

He could clearly sense the terrifying force behind him, far beyond what he could withstand now.

He didn’t know how long had passed.

Shen Changqing stopped in his tracks.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid of the Death Tide, but rather that he had now officially exited the Death Forbidden Zone.

"Phew!"

He exhaled deeply, and when he turned back to look at the Death Forbidden Zone, he saw that terrifying force still raging.

At that moment.

"Boom!"

A formidable aura erupted as a being emitting golden light stepped alone into the Death Forbidden Zone.

"What is he trying to do?"

Shen Changqing frowned slightly.

He could discern that the being entering the Death Forbidden Zone was of Divine King Level.

Moreover, judging from the aura pressure, it was evidently at the level of a Rule Divine King.

Such a being.

In a clan, would already be considered truly top-tier.

Yet for such a being to hope to resist the Death Tide was absolutely impossible.

At this moment.

Entering the Death Forbidden Zone was akin to seeking death.

Qingyi’s voice was grave: "He is trying to use the power of the Death Tide to transcend himself!"

"Senior means, he wants to become a Proof Path Divine Lord?" Shen Changqing was startled. ℯ

"Indeed!"

Qingyi nodded, speaking solemnly: "Though the Death Tide is perilous, it also offers great benefits. It contains countless strong imprints, and if you can slay the powerful entities inside, you can obtain their residual imprints.

Those imprints hold the insights and other features of those entities from their lifetimes, making them true Supreme Treasures.

Even assisting in a breakthrough to the Divine Lord is a simple matter."

"Strong imprints!"

Shen Changqing’s eyes deepened.

Previously, he hadn’t known that the strong imprints from the Death Tide offered such benefits.

"Was it the same for the Qinglian Emperor entering the Death Tide to slay strong imprints?"

"That is impossible. At the Emperor’s level, already at the pinnacle, such strong imprints are useless to him. However, if you have the strength in the future, you may enter the Death Tide to train. But the danger within, even I am not fully confident in protecting you. Once you step in, life and death depend entirely on yourself."

Qingyi smiled faintly.

Hearing this.

Shen Changqing did not respond.

If his strength was sufficient, he indeed would venture into the Death Tide, but not now.

To reach such a level, at the very least, he needed to coagulate the Cave Heaven Core, or even further.

Then.

He opened the Heavenly Eye between his brows, directly gazing toward the Death Forbidden Zone.

Within the Death Forbidden Zone, it was filled with an overwhelming deathly force. Soon, Shen Changqing captured that strong being’s figure.

The figure charged straight into the Death Tide, where an indistinct strong figure emerged from the flowing gray river, directly blocking the Divine King’s path.

Boom!

Boom!!

Without any words, the moment they met, a fierce battle erupted.

"As expected of a top-tier Divine King, the strength truly is astonishing!"

Watching the battle, Shen Changqing nodded to himself.

If the Rule Divine Kings were categorized in tiers, then this Divine King entering the Death Forbidden Zone was of the superior grade.

Even compared to those two Rule Divine Kings like Zhongshan Dongxuan, there wasn’t much difference.

The strong phantom battling him was similarly powerful, roughly at the same level.

"Break!"

Ji An Divine King roared, with a punch that shook the heavens, forcing the strong phantom to retreat continuously.

He deliberately chose this moment to enter the Death Forbidden Zone, to enter the Death Tide and engage in a battle with the ancient strong.

Destroy to build anew!

Demolish to rise again!

He had already reached his limit, and if he couldn’t break through to the Divine Lord, he would be destined to fade away.

Thus.

This was the only chance.

"Today, this Divine King shall prove the path to the Divine Lord here!"

Ji An Divine King’s face was cold and stern, his entire being engulfed in burning Divine Power, unleashing various formidable secret techniques and divine skills.

Such terrifying power overwhelmed and suppressed the phantom.

As time passed,

the scales of victory tilted towards Ji An Divine King.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

The river flowed, and another formidable phantom emerged, charging directly at Ji An Divine King.

"Another one!"

Ji An Divine King’s face darkened, yet his heart felt no fear.

"Good, no matter how many come, this Divine King can suppress them all!"

He laughed loudly, his voice full of grandeur.

In the next instant.

The body of the Divine King vanished, and a colossal beast towering ten thousand feet stood proudly above the river, unleashing a formidable force that sent the two phantom figures retreating.

"That’s a powerhouse from the Long’ao Clan!"

Upon seeing the gigantic beast’s silhouette, Shen Changqing’s mind involuntarily conjured corresponding information, derived from Ziyan Sheng’s own memories.

Long’ao Clan!

One of the top clans among the Heavens.

Unlike most clans, even after ascending to clan status, the Long’ao Clan retained its original name as its clan title.

Many clans in the Heavens adopted similar practices.

Thus, the essence of the Long’ao Clan was the Long’ao, neither purely dragon nor mastiff, possessing immensely fearsome strength.

Though the Ziyun Clan was powerful, it was still a notch below the Long’ao Clan.

Unfortunately,

in Ziyan Sheng’s memory, there was no relevant information about the Divine King, only upon seeing their true form did it become clear which clan they belonged to.

...

"Boom!"

Ji An Divine King transformed into the colossal Long’ao, and with a swipe of his forepaw, space was torn asunder, engulfing one of the phantom figures in its power.

"Bang!"

The phantom shattered like a bubble.

As the phantom shattered, a gleam of light directly merged into Ji An Divine King’s body.

In an instant,

the aura on his body increased greatly.

Soon after, the other phantom figure could not endure much longer and was slain with full exertion.

From here.

The two phantom figures within the Death Tide dispersed completely, and the imprints within them were all absorbed by Ji An Divine King.

After integrating the two imprints, he stood motionless, as if he was ensnared in some state.

Gradually,

a mysterious aura emanated from his body.

Soon after, golden light erupted from Ji An Divine King’s eyes, and he smiled triumphantly: "I understand everything, I understand it all!"

The constraints of the Divine Lord Realm were shattered at this moment.

Rumble!!!

In the Divine Kingdom of the Endless Void, within the flowing phantom river, a golden seed was nurtured.

As the seed emerged, all phantom waters rapidly converged toward the seed.

Once all the waters were absorbed, the seed seemingly completed some kind of transformation and immediately sprouted.

"Buzz!"

As the seed sprouted, the Divine Kingdom quaked violently.

Outside.

A terrifying pressure emanated from Ji An Divine King, spreading grandly in all directions, expanding far and wide.

Purple energy spread for millions of miles, heading towards the Death Forbidden Zone, as if to welcome a supreme existence.

Where the aura reached, all living beings instinctively felt reverence and could not help but bow towards the source of the aura.

At this moment,

the Heavens quaked.

The Myriad Clans were astonished.

Each top powerhouse among the Divine Clans was moved by this aura.

"A powerhouse has proven the path to Divine Lord!"

"Unexpectedly, it has only been some decades since the era of great strife commenced, and a Divine Lord has already emerged."

"I wonder which clan’s Divine Lord it could be..."

Phantoms of powerhouses appeared in various Heavens, their profound and deep gazes directed towards the source of the aura.

They all wished to see which clan the newly emerged Divine Lord belonged to.

Meanwhile.

The Long’ao Clan’s fate soared, bringing smiles to all beings within the clan, their hearts inevitably filled with joy.

Inside the grand hall.

The Mastiff Emperor was visibly excited, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Divine Lord... Our Long’ao Clan finally has a Divine Lord emerging!"

He did not imagine Ji An Divine King would truly succeed.

Their venture into the Death Forbidden Zone was a desperate gamble, with success uncertain.

Now, they truly succeeded.

This elevation will grant the Long’ao Clan a Divine Lord-level existence.

"No!"

"Our Long’ao Clan is no longer just a clan, but should be called the Long’ao Divine Clan!"

The Mastiff Emperor’s voice was impassioned, this excitement second only to his past ascension as the Mastiff Emperor of the Long’ao Clan.

Though the difference between a clan and Divine Clan is just one word, their statuses are worlds apart.

Now that the Long’ao Clan officially ascended to Divine Clan, the benefits are conceivable.

The other elders of the Long’ao Clan within the hall were also visibly excited.

"Transmit my command: to celebrate Ji An Divine King’s proof path to Divine Lord and our Long’ao Clan’s ascension to Divine Clan, next year we shall host a grand feast within our Long’ao Divine Clan Realm, inviting the Heavens’ Myriad Clans,"

The Mastiff Emperor’s majestic and resounding voice echoed throughout the grand hall and spread across the entire realm.
