136: Chapter 136 Let me see just how far you can break through!

"Ding! The Azure Dragon has promoted to 9th-Order, and all its attributes have undergone an ultimate transformation!"

"Ding! The Azure Dragon has mastered the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation Law! It can directly obliterate low-order Creators!"

The 9th-Order Azure Dragon controls the Ninefold Heavenly Punishment.

It is rumored that high-order divine dragons possess the heaven-defying power to kill ordinary gods, and today, it has finally been verified.

"System, is 9th-Order the end of biological evolution?" Lin Feng asked.

"Ding! Above 9th-Order is the Demigod realm!"

"How can one break through to Demigod?"

Lin Feng continued to ask; could it be that even higher-level elemental cores are needed?

"Ding! To become a Demigod, one must absorb massive amounts of pure faith; relying solely on devouring cores is no longer sufficient to meet the conditions."

After hearing the System's detailed explanation, Lin Feng understood completely.

If he wanted the Azure Dragon to continue evolving, he had to frantically harvest the incense from his believers.

The more prosperous the incense, the deeper the foundation.

Once the faith value breaks through the critical point, it can usher in the Demigod transformation.

The same logic applies to other divine beasts.

Relying solely on the natives of the Chaos Territory provides limited faith production.

Lin Feng sighed helplessly.

It seems that from now on, he must set his sights on other gods.

Think about the True Gods of the Main World, harvesting billions of gods' faith every day; just how powerful must that be?

Once he reaches 9th-Order himself, he can let go and start poaching the True Gods' followers.

He put aside distracting thoughts.

Lin Feng began to forge magical treasures for Taotie and Pixiu.

Pixiu is similar to Baize, leaning towards gentle support, so crafting tool-type magical artifacts is most suitable.

Taking out the high-grade ores he had purchased a while ago, Lin Feng began to select them carefully.

Pixiu specializes in Metal and Earth dual-element laws, so the materials must fit perfectly.

After selecting several top-grade jades, Lin Feng used his divine power to crush, fuse, and remove impurities from them...

After polishing for over an hour, an exquisite [Treasure Basin] model finally took shape.

He casually threw it to Pixiu; the little guy circled it curiously twice before swallowing it into its belly to slowly nourish it.

When it was Taotie's turn, Lin Feng encountered trouble.

Taotie has a special constitution, belonging to the non-attribute "eat-all" type.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a single suitable high-grade construction material.

The Azure Dragon faced the same problem; high-end materials containing Thunder Laws were simply too scarce.

It seemed he could only wait slowly.

Anyway, with Tang Family Trading operating in the background, as long as suitable goods appeared within the alliance, they would be delivered to him immediately.

...

"System, open the global attribute panel."

After handling all the miscellaneous tasks, Lin Feng leaned back on the sofa and issued the command.

"Ding! The holographic panel has unfolded..."

[Deity: Lin Feng]

[Divine Position: Chaos Overlord]

[Divine Rank: 8th-Order God (Promotion to 9th-Order requires 1 billion combat power, one of each 9th-Order basic Five Elements core, and faith purity reaching 'Fanatical Faith')]

[Divine Territory Area: 34 million square kilometers (Activated 90x evolution halo)]

[Resources: Millions of top-tier spirit veins, hundreds of thousands of top-tier medicine fields, Flame Volcano, Treasure Basin, heaven-reaching thunder tribulation tree]

[Faith Kindred: 24,122 Taotie sub-bodies (5th-Order), 10 6th-Order wild lords, 4,110 5th-Order lords, 160,000 4th-Order lords... 30 billion 0-Order cannon fodder]

[City-state forces: 83,600]

[Civilization Evolution: Imperial Civilization]

[Faith Purity: Deep Faith]

[Exclusive Magical Artifacts: yata mirror, yasakani no magatama, white tiger divine talisman, baize holy seal, Treasure Basin (being nourished)]

[Core Lords: Azure Dragon (9th-Order), Taotie (8th-Order), Baize (8th-Order), Pixiu (8th-Order), Zhulong (7th-Order), Phoenix (7th-Order), Xiangliu (7th-Order)]

[Divine Privilege: Absolute Devour (7th-Order), Immunity to All Evil (7th-Order), Time Stop (6th-Order), Thunder Tribulation Punishment (8th-Order), Indestructible Battle Intent (8th-Order)...]

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 650,000,000]

[Divine Power Reserve: 2.8 trillion (1 drop converted per 3 points of combat power daily)]

[Time Flow Rate: 1 to 500 (Adjustable)]

[Backpack: 9th-Order Metal-element core, 9th-Order Wind-element core...]

Lin Feng stared at the holographic panel, calculating rapidly in his mind.

To ignite the True Fire and promote to a 9th-Order God, the primary condition is for combat power to break through the 1 billion mark.

This is not difficult; with 100x time acceleration and the money-printing machine providing a safety net in the background, feeding the potential of all the major divine beasts will allow him to meet the standard easily.

The trickiest part is gathering the five 9th-Order origin cores of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Currently, he has only collected the Metal and Wood 9th-Order crystals; he is still missing the Water, Fire, and Earth attributes.

9th-Order cores only exist in the ruins of 9th-Order Main Worlds.

In other words, he must continue to explore and clear the deepest parts of the void.

He wondered if, after the Azure Dragon stepped into the 9th-Order peak, it would have the ability to go head-to-head with Demigod-level monsters.

Besides combat power, Lin Feng also figured out a cosmic law.

The higher the deity's rank, the smaller the benefit of simply stacking combat power values.

In the later stages, everyone is competing with faith essence!

Low-order gods compete on panel data, while high-order gods compete on believer purity.

Of course, the higher the combat power value, the better; no one would complain about having too much money.

The production of faith essence is directly linked to the number and intelligence of the believers.

The larger the tribal base, the faster the harvesting speed.

The higher the intelligence of the species, the purer the faith provided.

For example, high-intelligence creatures like humans, dwarves, and elves are definitely prime "leeks" for providing faith.

Conversely, ordinary beasts like wolf packs and murlocs have simple minds, so the harvesting efficiency is pitifully slow.

At this moment in the Chaos Territory.

Civilization evolution has moved from the city-state era into the imperial era.

Huge cities connected to form a massive state machine.

The most typical example is the Holy Radiance Empire that worships Baize.

This is a massive human nation with a unity of church and state.

Besides this, there are also the Mermaid Kingdom, Lizardman tribes, and so on.

The higher the level of civilization, the better the species' brains function.

The faith incense provided is naturally more abundant.

There are already over a dozen existing human empires in the Chaos World, with an average population of over ten million.

And they have all unanimously bound various divine beasts as totems.

What surprised Lin Feng the most was:

In the human faction, a 6th-Order Immortal Cultivation tycoon actually spawned!

Converted to the realms in cultivation novels, this is called a Tribulation Transcendence stage expert.

Everyone knows that human troops have a fatal flaw: the upper limit is locked at 6th-Order.

Cultivating to the Tribulation Transcendence stage is the absolute end.

However, Lin Feng holds the chaos purple qi in his hand and can completely help these cultivators forcefully defy heaven and change their fate.

He spread his divine sense to scan the area.

Currently, the human race has produced two 6th-Order old monsters in total.

One of them is the monarch of the Holy Radiance Empire.

That is, the cultivation sect whose saintess was knocked unconscious by the Baize jade seal earlier.

Lin Feng pulled his perspective over.

Beneath the palace of the Holy Radiance Empire, this monarch was hiding in a secret room, undergoing secluded cultivation.

The dense heaven and earth spiritual energy around him was being swallowed into his body like a whale drinking water.

It's just a pity that without the chaos purple qi as a catalyst, he was stuck at the 6th-Order peak and could not break through the realm no matter what.

Should he reward him with some purple qi to test the waters?

Lin Feng rubbed his chin.

He was also quite curious about what heaven-defying divine abilities human cultivators could evolve after breaking through the 6th-Order shackles.

Anyway, he got a bunch of purple qi from opening blind boxes a few days ago, so he wouldn't feel bad about wasting a little bit.

Decision made.

Lin Feng flicked his finger, directly extracting a small wisp of purple qi from the void, and flicked it into the palace secret room.

The monarch, who was in secluded cultivation, sensed an unusual aura and his eyes snapped open.

The purple qi was like a bolt of lightning, drilling directly into the center of his brow.

"Such fast speed!"

The human monarch's expression changed drastically, thinking he had been ambushed by an enemy.

His expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Who is it! Get out here!"

He is a dignified Tribulation Transcendence stage expert.

It is impossible for anyone to ambush him without him knowing on this entire continent.

So his nerves were tense, and he looked around vigilantly.

However... nothing happened.

Lin Feng would only go down to explain to him if he were bored out of his mind.

Just when this monarch was in doubt and uncertainty, he suddenly widened his eyes.

The cultivation bottleneck that had been stuck for over a hundred years had shattered without warning!

"Wait... this mysterious power!"

The monarch instantly had an epiphany, quickly sat cross-legged, and crazily circulated his cultivation technique to refine the purple qi in his body.

The aura on his body began to climb steadily.

It seems that in a few days, the first 7th-Order human cultivator will be born in the Chaos Territory.

After watching this show, Lin Feng nodded with great satisfaction.

The purple qi consumed by humans for breaking through is much less than imagined.

It is not even one percent of the consumption of divine beasts.

Wait and see for now.

If high-order humans can feed back massive amounts of faith essence.

He could fully mass-produce a batch of 7th-Order cultivators in the future to work specifically for him.

...

Finally, the planning regarding divine artifacts.

Lin Feng now holds a full five magical artifacts in his hand.

Looking across the entire alliance, he is definitely the tycoon with the most magical treasures.

You know, the supreme empress of the Red Sun Empire only managed to collect three national divine artifacts.

Two of which were even stolen by Lin Feng in a "black eats black" scenario.

Forging magical treasures is by no means easy.

Materials are only auxiliary; the core key lies in the species bloodline that nurtures the magical treasure.

If the bloodline is not strong enough, even if you forge it with divine iron, it will at most count as a piece of junk.

Only a pervert like Lin Feng, who raises a nest of great fierce beasts from the classic of mountains and seas, can wholesale divine artifacts like cabbages.

He is currently still short of high-grade construction materials.

Once the materials are all together, he must immediately arrange exclusive magical artifacts for the Azure Dragon and Taotie as well.

This thing is a priceless treasure that crazily skims faith.

And the amount of faith directly determines whether he can successfully be crowned a True God in the future.

For such good things, Lin Feng is definitely like Han Xin commanding troops: the more, the better.
