Ascend to Godhood!
Not far away, a small team from the Chi Yu Civilization was huddled behind a broken pillar, secretly observing White Night's every move.
One of the red-haired strong men watched the scene of White Night casually slaying an Eighth Revolution Peak Demon Scorpion, his Adam's apple bobbing violently: “Did you see that? The lightning on his blade... that’s a Law fused with Divinity!!”
A thin, small Fire Mage next to him gripped his staff tremblingly, the flame at the staff’s tip flickering in the mist. “Captain, should we just give up...? Things from the Star Palace of Feather Assassins aren't easy to take!”
The five people hiding mysteriously at the edge of the Stone Forest clearly didn't harbor good intentions.
“Retreat?” The red-haired strong man gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the gigantic stone pillar in the center of the Stone Forest.
“Wait a moment, once the other three teams arrive, we’ll move together!”
“After we finish this job, we'll return straight to our homeworld.”
White Night had naturally discovered their presence long ago.
He paid no attention to their whispers.
He walked directly toward a thousand-meter stone pillar.
The surface of this stone pillar was covered in spiral grooves, through which flowed colorful streams of light. When the light streams touched the air, they condensed into transparent crystals, which, upon landing, transformed into Law Runes, forming an ancient array on the ground.
He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the pillar. The Thunder Law surged in through his palm, and the streams of light in the grooves, as if summoned, flowed up his arm and into his body.
Every stream of light carried a scorching temperature, like magma scooped from a Primordial Furnace, surging and merging within his meridians.
Within two hours, he had traversed most of the Stone Forest.
At the base of some stone pillars grew breathing moss. Each time the moss opened and closed, it expelled spores containing the Law of Life.
Perched atop some stone pillars were “Birds of Law.” The feathers of these creatures were composed of pure spatial fragments, and their flight paths left temporary spatial rifts.
At the same time.
Along the way, the Abominations and monsters he encountered grew stronger and stronger.
A nine-headed snake appeared, each head mastering a Fundamental Law, but it was easily disintegrated into countless light spots by his [Thunder Transformation].
A puppet fused from Divine Gold and bone could withstand attacks from the Ninth Revolution Initial stage, but it ultimately turned to dust in the Purple-Gold Lightning.
When he reached the depths of the Stone Forest, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He saw that at the base of a gigantic stone pillar three thousand zhang tall, a crevice a zhang wide had opened up, and embedded within the crevice was a millstone-sized Fundamental Fragment.
The fragment was entirely transparent, with nine miniature stars suspended inside. These stars were encircled by colorful bands of light, within which countless Law Runes could be seen flowing, and the aura it emitted caused the entire Stone Forest to tremble slightly.
Where the edge of the fragment touched the stone pillar, silvery-white crystals grew. The patterns on the crystals were identical to the golden face he had seen in the Ruins of Gods Fall.
“This is... the Law Origin remaining from the creation of heaven and earth.”
White Night's fingertips trembled slightly. He could feel that by absorbing this fragment, the bottleneck of the Eighth Revolution Peak would loosen, and the threshold of the Ninth Revolution True God was right before him!
The moment he was about to make a move, the mist on all four sides suddenly churned violently.
The red-haired strong man from the Chi Yu Civilization led ten team members out from behind a stone pillar on the left. Their armor was engulfed in raging flames, which evaporated the moisture in the damp mist, creating white steam.
A white-haired woman from the Ice Plains Civilization led her team out from the right. With a tap of her scepter, ice walls instantly condensed on the ground, blocking White Night's retreat.
Two other teams from unfamiliar civilizations also enveloped him from the front and back.
One team wore scale armor, had bluish-gray skin, and wielded spears that flashed with poisonous green light. The other wore armor woven from bone and was surrounded by gray-black death aura, clearly specializing in the Law of Undead.
“Hahaha! What a stroke of luck!!”
“Kid, you've certainly found the perfect place to die!”
The red-haired strong man's great axe smashed heavily onto the ground. the Law of Flame spread along the surface, igniting the surrounding mist and forming a circular ring of fire. “Even if you can kill a God Slayer of the Shi Yu Civilization, you'll die here today!”
The white hair of the white-haired woman fluttered without wind, and ice spikes drilled out from beneath White Night's feet. She remained silent, merely locking onto White Night with a cold gaze.
The captain with bluish-gray skin suddenly spoke, his voice like two stones grinding together: “We, the ‘Scale Armor Clan,’ are allies of the Shi Yu Civilization.”
The leader of the Bone Armor team raised his bone staff. The skull at the staff's tip lit up with red light in its eyes. “Hand over the fragment, and we'll leave your corpse intact.”
White Night glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four civilization teams one by one.
He murmured softly, “The news spread that fast?”
“These civilizations likely have channels to share information...”
He shook his head slightly.
His eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the professionals from the various civilizations, viewing them as nothing more than corpses.
The next moment.
Boom--!
A massive amount of Law power unfolded in the mist—the scorching heat of fire, the biting cold of ice, the foul stench of poison, and the decay of death aura. Four powers interwove into a Net of Death, pressing down and causing the surrounding stone pillars to tremble continuously, their ancient runes glowing with fierce red light.
White Night suddenly laughed, his laughter echoing through the Stone Forest with a thunderous roar. “Things that don't know their own limits.”
Before his voice faded, the Purple-Gold Lightning within him erupted!
Nine Great Halos lit up simultaneously. Pale golden Divinity intertwined with gray-black lightning, forming a rotating storm. Wherever the storm passed, the ring of fire extinguished, the ice spikes disintegrated, and the poison and death aura receded like a tide!
Swish--!
The Eternal Demon Blade slowly emerged from its sheath. Within the Purple-Gold Lightning of the blade, nine streams of Law light coiled like swimming dragons. Before the blade light even struck, countless tiny cracks had already been torn in the surrounding space!
The chaotic aura seeping from the cracks caused this Stone Forest, which had stood for countless eons, to emit an uneasy hum!
“Since you are so eager to die, I shall grant your wish.”
The next moment.
Boom--!
The Purple-Gold Lightning exploded instantly. The great axe of the red-haired strong man from the Chi Yu Civilization froze the moment it was raised halfway.
He watched helplessly as the blade light, wrapped in nine-colored streams of light, pierced through his Flame Domain. The fierce flames on his axe blade extinguished like a candle flame caught in a gale.
Only when intense pain came from his left shoulder did he realize his entire arm had vanished. Purple-black blood splattered into the mist, but before it could hit the ground, it was incinerated by the lightning.
“How is this possible...” The strong man's roar caught in his throat. White Night's figure had already appeared behind him.
The back of the Eternal Demon Blade lightly tapped his back of the head. The helmet forged from Divine Gold cracked instantly, and his Eighth Revolution Peak Divine Soul disintegrated inch by inch in the lightning.
The fire spells of the ten Chi Yu team members were swallowed by the sudden lightning storm the moment they condensed. Their screams ceased abruptly amid the electric light, leaving behind only fragments of burning armor on the ground.
The white-haired woman of the Ice Plains Civilization's pupils contracted sharply. She frantically tapped her scepter toward the ground, attempting to use ice walls to block White Night's offensive.
But the Purple-Gold Lightning seemed to possess life, flowing backward along the patterns of the ice wall. The frozen Laws melted into liquid in the lightning, firmly locking her feet in place.
As the blade light swept past her neck, the last thing reflected in the woman's eyes was the sight of her carefully nurtured ice spikes turning into steam within the lightning halos surrounding White Night.
The Scale Armor Clan captain with bluish-gray skin spat out a mouthful of dark green venom. The venom turned into a Venomous Dragon in the air, but it was purified by the pale golden Divinity that shot out from White Night's fingertip.
His proud scale armor was like paper mache in the lightning glow. Nine of his team members didn't even manage to release their innate fatal poison before lightning pierced their brows.
The Law of Undead wielded by the Bone Armor team was even more ridiculous. The summoned Bone Dragons automatically disintegrated in the Purple-Gold Lightning, and the red light in the skull's eyes atop the leader's bone staff extinguished faster than a candle flame.
The entire process took less than ten breaths.
Over forty Eighth Revolution powerhouses from the four great civilizations had all fallen. Only lingering smoke and crackling lightning remained in the Stone Forest.
White Night flicked the blood beads from his blade, his gaze returning to the Fundamental Fragment at the base of the gigantic stone pillar, as if the slaughter just now was merely brushing away a few specks of dust.
He walked to the crevice and lightly touched the millstone-sized fragment with his fingertip.
The silvery-white crystals on the fragment's surface suddenly lit up, resonating with the Law Origin Fragment inside his body. The nine miniature stars accelerated their rotation within the fragment, releasing a Torrent of Laws that surged wildly into his body through his arm like a burst flood!
“Buzz!”
White Night's body trembled violently. The bottleneck of the Eighth Revolution Peak was like an eggshell struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a crisp cracking sound.
The Law power surging through his meridians was no longer restricted and began to impact the threshold of the Ninth Revolution True God.
He could clearly feel that the Thunder Law within him was fusing with the newly absorbed Nine System Origin. The light of the Nine Great Halos interwove into a spiral pillar of light, shooting into the sky and enveloping the three thousand zhang tall gigantic stone pillar!
Boom--!
The ancient runes on the stone pillar's surface were activated by the pillar of light. More colorful streams of light surged out from the grooves that hadn't changed for countless eons, converging into White Night's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
The Birds of Law perched atop the stone pillars were startled by the pillar of light and flew up, flapping their wings. The feathers made of spatial fragments carved countless cracks in the air. The chaotic aura seeping from the cracks merged with the pillar of light, forming a purple-gold rainbow spanning heaven and earth!
After an unknown amount of time.
When the last wisp of the Torrent of Laws integrated into his body, White Night's eyes snapped open.
In his pupils, nine miniature stars slowly rotated, surrounded by Purple-Gold Lightning and colorful streams of light. The Law power within his body had completely transformed. The Thunder Law, which previously required conscious effort to activate, was now as natural as breathing, and every gesture carried the pressure of a True God level!
The Nine Great Halos circulated around his body, and faint Domain Phantoms appeared at the edges of the halos!
Although not fully formed yet, they could already distort the surrounding Laws—a unique mark of the Ninth Revolution True God's ability.
“Finally... I have stepped into the True God Realm.” White Night clenched his fist. A wisp of lightning overflowing from his fingertip landed on the ground, carving an abyss-deep ravine into the hard rock.
He could feel that the flow of Laws throughout the entire Stone Forest was within his perception. Those Eighth Revolution Abominations, enough to strike fear into thousand-year civilizations, were now no different from ants in his eyes.
Just then.
The gigantic stone pillar suddenly trembled violently, and a muffled heartbeat sound came from the crevice at its base.
White Night looked down and saw that after the Fundamental Fragment was absorbed, a dark golden metal plate was revealed deep within the crevice. Engraved on the plate were the characters “Feng Shen” (Conferring God), similar to those on the God Conferment Platform, and energy purer than a Law Core flowed within the crevices of the characters.
“An Inheritance Mark of an Ancient Deity?” White Night reached out and pressed the metal plate. A massive stream of information instantly flooded his mind.
It was about the cultivation method for the Law Domain!
It turned out that the Stone Forest of Ten Thousand Laws was not naturally formed, but a trial ground created by an Ancient Deity to select an inheritor. Only those capable of absorbing the Creation Origin Fragment were qualified to receive the God Conferment Inheritance.
The moment the stream of information dissipated, the entire Stone Forest suddenly shook violently. The runes on the surface of all the stone pillars simultaneously lit up, forming a Teleportation Array Diagram covering heaven and earth.
White Night's figure was enveloped by the pillar of light in the center of the array diagram. Whispers from countless deities reached his ears, seemingly guiding him toward the ultimate destination of the Eternal Sacred Ruins.
When the teleportation light dispersed, White Night found himself standing on a floating platform.
Below the platform was a churning Sea of Law Clouds, where countless Abominations could vaguely be seen roaring!
Ahead, a Golden Palace, even more massive than the Eternal Divine Tower, stood in the void. Nine giant gems were embedded on the palace gates, each corresponding to a Fundamental Law, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure!
Above the palace, a line of ancient seal characters slowly flowed in the void:
“The Path to God Conferment begins here.”
White Night looked up at the palace, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, he possessed the confidence to face anything.
The power of the Ninth Revolution True God surged within him. The Purple-Gold Lightning of the Eternal Demon Blade and the golden radiance of the palace complemented each other, as if announcing that a new legend was about to be born.
Whoosh--!
He took a deep breath and stepped toward the palace gates.
With every step he took, the platform trembled slightly. The Abominations in the Sea of Law Clouds roared even more frantically, yet none dared to approach within a hundred zhang of the platform.
They could sense that this human, who had just stepped into the True God Realm, contained power capable of instantly annihilating them!
The gates slowly opened, revealing an endless Golden Corridor inside.
White Night's figure disappeared into the depths of the corridor, leaving only the lightning glow of the Eternal Demon Blade flickering in the void, like a star that never extinguishes in the darkness.
Behind him, the stone pillars of the Stone Forest of Ten Thousand Laws began to slowly sink, returning to the embrace of the Sacred Ruins land.
The Law Fragments that had once been coveted by countless civilization powerhouses now transformed into countless specks of light, merging into the Sea of Law Clouds...
