Chapter 560: Chapter 417: The Champion Marquis’ Ultimate Transcendence!
The Chaos Bell grew more and more fond of Xu Gu as it beheld him, eventually smiling and saying:
"Originally, doing this wouldn’t be appropriate, as it seems somewhat unfair to others. However, if it’s you, an exception can be made."
Xu Gu had thought that what the Chaos Bell referred to as inappropriate was intervening on his behalf.
Yet, who could have expected that as the Chaos Bell’s words fell, several lines of golden characters emerged in the air above.
As well as a rough bird’s-eye view map.
"This is an opportunity nearby. It should be the transformation of a fallen Divine after its demise, containing some treasures of that Divine.
"Although you’re growing rapidly, relatively speaking, you are still too weak. Without my support, you could only reign supreme at the level of an Intermediate King. This opportunity might enable you to challenge the rank of an Upper King."
Xu Gu’s eyes lit up.
It was only then that he realized another function of the Chaos Bell—it could search for opportunities!
This kind of searching was more akin to divination.
The reason it’s said to be unfair is because divining for opportunities consumes the power of the entire Human Clan city, yet only Xu Gu was informed.
But, who makes Xu Gu the future hope of the Human Clan.
Naturally, it’s not too much to grant him special privileges!
"Thank you, senior." Xu Gu expressed his joy.
In any case, the short lifespan under the "Extreme Prosperity" state and the drawbacks of overexerting his potential must be resolved.
It is said that these also affect whether one can achieve the status of Divine or True God in the future.
The treasure trove of Divine left by the War God to resolve the flaws is in the lower layer space, which is too dangerous. Going now would be risky.
Originally, he planned to solve the pursuit from the Mechanical Sea and then continue to retreat into uninhabited areas, slaying native monsters, and gradually enhancing his strength.
Now, since there’s a great opportunity to strike it rich, there’s naturally no need to hide in his body like a savage, scavenging trash to eat.
"Remember to prepare yourself. Since I can divine it, other strong beings, such as the Mechanical Sea or the natives of the Divine Domain Continent, can probably sense it too.
"Many will covet the legacy of a Divine."
The Middle Layer Space is not the Mechanical Sea or the lower layer space. Top tier powerhouses generally do not easily stir, but there are quite a few exceptionally talented Demon Kings.
The final competition tends to be very fierce.
However,
Xu Gu’s reply was very calm:
"I understand. Once Long Shi has arranged the succession matters for Yuhuang City, we’ll set off."
This calm and indifference stemmed from absolute self-confidence.
Exceptionally strong in combat, if encountered, just topple them.
He is not the insignificant commoner without a background from five months ago anymore.
He has fought to forge a massive background for himself!
The entire Human Clan, as well as the clan’s Divine Artifact ’Sky Tower’, ’Chaos Bell’, and the mysterious predecessors of the Human Clan in the Death Realm, are his pillars of support.
Even if a Divine intervenes, he need not worry too much.
And if it’s not an exceptionally strong being?
If you’re not an exceptionally strong being, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me, Xu Gu?!
Who gave you the courage?!
Just brutally bulldoze through.
"Indeed, a being who could potentially surpass the Yang God." Xu Gu’s demeanor of overlooking all, where he is invincible and everything is within his anticipation and calculations, made the Chaos Bell give him another look of respect.
If it were before, it would have thought Xu Gu was being too presumptuous.
But after witnessing the recent battle, seeing Xu Gu annihilate a great army of the Mechanical Sea led by an Upper Demon King and two Intermediate Demon Kings, it would no longer feel that way.
This youth, you would never know his true trump card!
Capable of creating endless miracles!
...
Xu Gu’s battle has concluded.
Meanwhile, the battle of Champion Marquis has just begun.
Today is undoubtedly the most important day in nearly a hundred years.
Hundreds of Demon Kings and Human Kings are in combat!
A battle that’s earth-shattering.
It’s also fortunate that the battlefield is in the Divine Domain Continent.
Otherwise, just the aftermath of the fight might be enough to shatter stars.
It was almost a small-scale apocalypse battle.
In the past millennium, there had been only a handful of battles on such a scale.
Of course,
Most of the Human Kings and Demon Kings were actually slacking off and did not use their full strength to fight to the death.
Therefore, the fight was not too tragic.
To this day, no king has fallen.
The only ones truly fighting desperately were the Champion Marquis and the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities.
All Demon Kings and Human Kings understood that the true leaders of this battle were actually the Champion Marquis and the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities.
If the Champion Marquis fell, the Human Clan would fall.
Afterwards, the Human Clan would inevitably withdraw completely, hiding within their own borders, struggling for survival.
By then, Xu Gu, who still remained on the Divine Domain Continent, would also likely be eradicated by the combined forces of the Mechanical Sea Demon Kings.
However, if the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities were to be defeated, the forces of the Mechanical Sea would also become much more subdued, no longer pressing hard, and would not conduct any oppressive or invasive actions against the Human Clan before the Gods truly descended.
So, although most Demon Kings and Human Kings were slacking off, the impact of this war was still immense!
Both sides could only aim for victory!
"Champion Marquis, you are still too green! A mere Extreme Marquis dares to challenge me?!"
The Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities made a mighty move, with power shaking the heavens, almost threatening to destroy an entire space.
His body shook once, and endless dark light rampaged, his flesh, Mana, and the power of Rule Authority, all reaching their limits.
It was as if the entire universe and starry sky were being twisted by him, spinning along with his rotation!
"Holy Dragon Boundless Divine Fist!"
"True Dragon Divine Finger!"
"Eternal Dragon God Crush!"
"Dragon Annihilation of the World!"
Countless Divine Skills and Absolute Skills were cast by him, with such might that it could shatter any planet in the starry sky.
The piercing sound waves swept through, causing some of the weaker Demon Kings and Human Kings present to lose their Combat Power, retreating explosively while spitting blood.
The Extreme Demon King, terrifying as such!
"Break!"
As the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities’ opponent, the Champion Marquis cut down with his blade, displaying an invincible elegance.
"Ultimate Transcendence!"
This was his Absolute Skill, one he had created himself.
His exceptional talent had allowed him to wield this skill so that he could slay Demon Kings with the stature of a mere marquis!
Others fought like a musket, continuously igniting fuel at the flame at the muzzle, sustaining damage output.
The Champion Marquis, however, could compress a albeit not so abundant fuel together with this move, and then in an instant, ignite it, erupting with unimaginable and terrifying power.
The victor was naturally evident!
Of course, achieving this was not easy.
Since time immemorial, only the Champion Marquis had done so.
As for the price, it was immense too. Every use of Ultimate Transcendence was a complete drain on his life!
As the Champion Marquis’ blade fell, all offensive efforts of the Nine Serenities Demon Dragon King disintegrated.
Like an immortal War God, he glowed with golden light, as if his body was burning fiercely, his divine might overshadowing the world, unrivaled in his domain!
"How could he be so strong?"
The Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities roared in fury.
He was actually being suppressed by the Champion Marquis.
He was being fiercely suppressed by a mortal who hadn’t even grasped the Rule Authority!
The rest of the Demon Kings felt heavy-hearted. The Witch Queen, who always enjoyed mocking others, had also lost her signature smile, her face turning exceedingly solemn.
On the Human King’s side, seeing the Champion Marquis actually suppressing the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities, they were overjoyed and extremely excited.
So excited that they wanted to dance with joy.
However, the Eternal Sword Saint and other Human Kings who were very close to the Champion Marquis had similarly grim faces, uncontrollably gripping their weapons tight.
Their hearts were bleeding, profoundly saddened.
They knew that the Champion Marquis was fighting desperately, struggling for a brief period of peace for the Human Clan.
He would ignite himself to strike down the Dark Dragon King of Nine Serenities.
