131: Condense your divine essence and ascend to demigodhood!

As the nine vast, god-like, majestic light figures slowly receded like a tide, the silent reception platform finally regained some "human" presence.

However, the atmosphere was already completely different from before.

All the surviving prodigies, less than a hundred of them, looked at the slender figure still calmly standing in the center of the platform, their eyes devoid of the slightest contempt or disdain they had previously held.

All that remained was a kind of awe, fear, and an uncontrollable fanaticism from the depths of their Souls!

Lin Ye had already become a true, uncrowned king in this Void God Realm trial, one whom everyone looked up to!

"The second trial has ended."

The old, indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, slowly sounded like a final judgment.

"Those in the top ten of the points ranking, step forward... to receive your rewards."

As the words fell.

In the center of the platform, the nine gigantic stone pillars, which had already been dormant, once again, without warning, simultaneously emitted soft, colorful rays of light, filled with endless vitality and the aura of the Great Dao!

Within the colorful light, ten spatial rings of varying sizes, emitting different energy fluctuations, slowly floated out as if alive!

Clearly, these were the so-called... supreme rewards!

"Gulp."

Looking at the ten spatial rings filled with endless temptation, even those prodigies who had long been accustomed to great challenges and possessed a Heart-Nature as firm as a rock, couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes bursting with an extremely fervent flame of greed!

However, no one dared to move.

Everyone's gaze, as if by agreement, subconsciously and uniformly converged on the slender figure who stood calmly at the very front... Lin Ye.

He looked at the ten spatial rings suspended in mid-air, and a hint of fervor also flashed in his dark eyes.

He knew very well that these rewards must contain the Origin that was enough for him to condense a divine spark and ascend to heaven in one step!

Without the slightest hesitation, under the countless gazes filled with awe and envy, he calmly walked forward, step by step.

He slowly extended his right hand.

There was no obstruction whatsoever.

The champion ring, suspended at the very top, the largest in size, and even entwined with a faint aura of Chaos, gently fell into his palm like a swallow returning to its nest.

Lin Ye's Divine Sense lightly swept into it.

The next instant, even his state of mind, which had long become unperturbed due to the System, couldn't help but tremble violently!

Inside the ring, there was a Small World of its own!

Within the Small World, Top-Grade Spirit Stones of various colors, shimmering like mountains, were piled up! Their number was simply... immeasurable!

And next to the mountain of Spirit Stones, hundreds of jade boxes made of thousand-year warm jade were neatly arranged! Inside each jade box lay a thousand-year Spirit Medicine, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance and full of vibrant vitality!

Moreover, in the center of that space, three Earth Rank Magic Treasures, emitting terrifying aura, were suspended!

A divine sword burning with raging flames! An ancient shield inscribed with countless profound runes! And a purple lightning pearl, only the size of a fist, but seemingly containing an entire lightning purgatory!

This... this was simply like emptying the treasury of a top Sect?!

However, Lin Ye's gaze did not linger on these treasures, which were enough to drive any Dharma Body Realm expert mad, for even a moment.

His eyes were fixed on the deepest part of that space!

There, three items quietly floated.

A wisp of mysterious energy, as thin as a hair, dark gold in color, seemingly unremarkable, yet containing the most fundamental mysteries of this Universe's Origin!

Divine Origin!

It was the exact same wisp of Divine Origin he had obtained when he topped the first trial! However, this wisp was hundreds of times thicker than the previous one!

Next to that wisp of Divine Origin was a rhomboid crystal core, about the size of a baby's fist, entirely dark gold in color, its surface covered with countless profound Dao patterns, emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation that could make the Heavenly Rules resonate!

divine source crystal!

It was the supreme treasure he and Su Qingyue obtained after jointly slaying that Heavenly Rule-level Vicious Beast!

Just by sensing the vast energy contained within it, Lin Ye felt his Divine Soul Origin, which had already reached the Peak of the Dharma Body Realm Bottleneck, hum with joyful longing, as if it had encountered a supreme tonic!

He had no doubt that as long as he thoroughly refined this crystal, he would be able to... condense a divine spark and ascend to heaven in one step!

Below the divine source crystal was an ancient token, entirely black, emitting a spatial fluctuation that made one's heart palpitate, as if it could completely draw one's Soul into it!

On the token, only two ancient divine characters, filled with endless majesty and mystery, were carved—

"Upper Realm"!

This, then, was... the proof to enter the legendary true "Upper Realm"?!

Lin Ye's heart pounded violently due to this unprecedented great surprise.

He forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and slowly withdrew his Divine Sense.

He respectfully bowed to the nine gigantic stone pillars, which had already returned to silence.

Then, he turned around and, under the countless gazes filled with awe and envy, calmly walked back, step by step, to the beautiful figure who had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go."

He looked at her, his dark eyes sparkling with unprecedented brilliance.

"We... should strive for a higher Realm."

...Half a day later.

Outside a top-tier Cultivation secret chamber on the Void God Realm's reception platform, specifically prepared for trial victors and filled with the densest Spiritual Qi.

Lin Ye and Su Qingyue stood side by side.

"Are you... really decided?" Su Qingyue looked at him, her clear, cold eyes filled with worry, "Condensing a divine spark is a Heaven-Defying act, extremely perilous! A slight mistake could lead to... the complete annihilation of your Divine Soul! Moreover, you..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

She knew very well that although Lin Ye's combat power was Heaven-Defying, his true Cultivation Realm was, after all, only... Early Stage Dharma Body Realm!

To forcibly cross an entire major Realm to challenge the legendary Half-God Realm... this was simply... seeking death!

"Don't worry." Lin Ye looked at her beautiful face, filled with concern, and showed a reassuring smile, "I know my limits."

He slowly extended his hand and gently tucked the wisp of blue hair, disheveled by the wind, behind her ear.

"Wait for me... to come out."

After speaking, he no longer hesitated, turned around, and stopped in front of the massive stone door, made of a whole piece of ten-thousand-year profound crystal and emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

He slowly placed his palm on the cold stone door.

"Rumble..."

The stone door slowly opened.

A pure energy, hundreds of times denser than the outside, almost materialized, and filled with endless vitality and the aura of the Great Dao, surged out from within!

Lin Ye took a deep breath and stepped in!

The stone door slowly closed again.

Completely isolating him from everything outside.

Within the secret chamber, there was a Small World of its own.

There were no luxurious furnishings, no exquisite carvings.

All there was... was an endless, milky-white ocean, liquefied from the purest "void origin qi"!

Just by standing there, Lin Ye felt his Divine Soul Origin, which had already reached the Peak of the Dharma Body Realm Bottleneck, hum with joyful longing, as if it were soaking in a hot spring!

This was the true... Cultivation Holy Land!

Lin Ye wasted no more time.

With a thought, he poured out all the Cultivation resources from the champion ring, which was filled with endless treasures, like a small mountain!

Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Thousand-year Spirit Medicine! Ancient Medicinal Pills! And even that divine source crystal that could make the Heavenly Rules resonate!

After doing all this, he slowly sat down cross-legged.

In his dark eyes, an unprecedented, raging flame ignited, enough to completely ignite this ocean of Origin Qi!

"System!"

He let out a silent, hysterical roar in his heart!

"Burn all my resources... all of them!"

"Target — Half-God Realm!"

"Give me... crazy AFK! ! !"

"Instruction confirmed! Detecting massive Cultivation resources... Detecting divine source crystal... Detecting top-tier Cultivation environment..."

"Final sprint mission has been activated!"

"All AFK missions will enter... Ultimate Godspeed Mode! ! !"

"Expected to exhaust all energy within one month!"

"Countdown... begins!"

Boom! ! !

As the System's cold prompt sounded, a terrifying storm suddenly erupted with Lin Ye's body as its center!

The mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones and thousand-year Spirit Medicine beside him instantly ignited, transforming into a vast ocean of energy that surged madly into his body!

And the divine source crystal, suspended above his head, seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, emitting dark golden divine radiance filled with endless profundity and the aura of the Great Dao, slowly merging into his ancestral aperture between his eyebrows like a divine enlightenment!

At this moment, his entire body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole capable of devouring all heavens!

His Divine Soul was even more like being in a strange ocean filled with endless Dao rhyme and fragments of Law, madly absorbing, comprehending, and transforming!

And within his Dantian Qi Sea, the nine-zhang black-and-white Dharma Body, which was still in its embryonic form, solidified and grew madly at a visible speed, like a balloon being inflated!

At its brow, a faint, dark golden light spot, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, slowly emerged!

That was... the embryonic form of a divine spark!

...Time flew by during this crazy AFK, where he forgot himself and everything else.

One day... two days... five days... ten days!

As the morning light of the tenth day was about to tear through the eternal gloomy sky of the Void God Realm—

Without warning!

The entire vast Void God Realm trembled violently!

The ocean of void origin qi, which had been relatively calm, seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, madly converging towards the direction of the reception platform!

Forming a giant vortex covering an area of ten thousand miles!

And at the center of that vortex, on the reception platform, the nine gigantic stone pillars, which had been dormant for ten days, suddenly, without warning, simultaneously burst forth with dazzling divine light, enough to completely illuminate the entire Void Realm!

Nine vast, majestic wills, filled with supreme sacred aura, descended once again, like awakened creator gods!

Their nine pairs of eyes, which seemed to contain the entire starry sky, uniformly focused on the center of the platform, on the top-tier Cultivation secret chamber that was already completely submerged by endless Origin Qi!

"It's coming!"

The ancient voice, filled with the vicissitudes of endless years, for the first time, carried a hint of uncontrollable... excitement!

And at this moment!

Inside the secret chamber!

Lin Ye's always closed eyes suddenly opened!

Boom! ! !

Two dazzling divine lights, one sacred and one demonic, burst forth from his eyes like solid entities! They actually pierced two bottomless small holes through the indestructible ten-thousand-year profound crystal stone wall!

He slowly stood up from the resource ruins that had already turned into dust.

His ordinary clothes had long turned to ashes. In their place was a black-and-white divine robe, seemingly woven from the most fundamental light and darkness of heaven and earth!

His waist-length Yin and Yang hair moved without wind, exuding a terrifying Divine Might that could make all Laws submit!

And at the center of his brow, a rhomboid divine spark, entirely dark gold in color, its surface covered with countless profound Dao patterns, seemingly containing the supreme mysteries of suppressing the Nine Nether Purgatory and purifying all gods and demons, slowly rotated, emitting an immortal divine light that could make the Heavenly Rules resonate!

prison suppressing divine spark!

Achieved! ! !

"This, is... the power of a Half-God..."

Lin Ye slowly raised his right hand.

He could clearly feel an unprecedented sense of control between himself and this world!

He felt as if, with just a thought, he could stir the endless Origin Qi in this Void Realm!

He felt as if, with just a glance, he could make the chaotic and violent Heavenly Rules... submit!

This was a true sense of... transcendence!

A supreme power that had completely broken free from the Realm of the "mortal" and initially touched the Domain of the "divine"!

"Hahahaha... Hahahahaha!"

Lin Ye could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart and suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky!

The laughter was filled with endless exhilaration and... heroic spirit!
