107: Progress bar 100%

Lin Chen glanced at the system panel.

Upgrade progress: 62%.

At this rate, the upgrade should be successful by tomorrow!

"I'll visit the other Peak Races during this time."

"The closest one is the Spirit Clan, so I'll go there first!"

With that, Lin Chen tore through space and departed.

The Central Region was too vast!

Lin Chen continuously teleported, rushing on his journey.

Two hours later, he arrived at the Spirit Clan's territory!

The Spirit Clan was naturally attuned to the Wood Great Dao, not only skilled at cultivating Heaven And Earth Treasure but also possessing the ability to control beasts!

Among the Five Peak Races, they were subtly the strongest!

The Spirit Clan's territory was extremely vast, with over a dozen colossal cities within its immense borders.

Lin Chen's Mental Energy detected that each city had Martial Emperor Realm Experts guarding it!

In the past, the Human Race had greatly underestimated the strength of the Five Peak Races... These cities not only housed the Spirit Clan but also many of their subordinate races.

The Spirit Clan had always acted domineeringly; these subordinate races had been forcibly assimilated by the Spirit Clan to serve them!

Lin Chen paused briefly, then continued to rush towards the Spirit Clan's core.

Half an hour later, he appeared in a forest rich with spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy here was actually more than ten times denser than in other parts of the Azure Cang Realm!

Lin Chen immediately released his Mental Energy, sensing carefully.

His Mental Energy was over 150 billion hertz, comparable to a late-stage Martial God, so being cautious meant he wasn't afraid of being discovered.

Within his Mental Energy's perception, the diameter of this forest exceeded Lin Chen's 20,000-meter detection range.

Lin Chen then continuously teleported, investigating the Spirit Clan's core.

Two hours later.

"Strange, the Spirit Clan's core only has two early-stage Martial Gods. This isn't logical."

"Could they be in a secret realm?"

Lin Chen suddenly thought of the Nether Spirit Clan's mental world.

"Oh, the Spirit Clan also has altars!"

Lin Chen discovered that a hidden area of the Spirit Clan was guarded by Martial Emperor Realm Experts, and there were three massive altars there!

"These three altars couldn't be like the Nether Spirit Clan's, could they!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly; these Peak Races indeed all had powerful backgrounds!

"I'll capture a Spirit Clan member and ask."

Lin Chen then searched with his Mental Energy.

"You're the one!"

On a mountainside, a Martial Sovereign Realm Spirit Clan member was picking exotic fruit in a grove of exotic fruit trees.

The spiritual energy in this forest was extremely dense, making it most suitable for cultivating Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Lin Chen had found the previous exotic fruit grove, and these exotic fruit groves were all guarded by Martial Sovereign Realm Spirit Clan members.

The next moment.

Lin Chen directly teleported in front of this Martial Sovereign Realm Spirit Clan member, immediately used a Mental Energy restraint, and then quickly brought him into his Inner World!

In the Inner World, Lin Chen's clone appeared, and with the Spirit Clan member's terrified expression, he directly performed the Soul-Searching Great Art.

After a long while.

With the soul-searching complete, Lin Chen waved his hand, and the Spirit Clan member was directly crushed by the World Power.

At this moment, Lin Chen's expression was extremely solemn.

This generation of the Spirit Clan had a total of 6 Martial God experts!

And a Half-Step Transcendence Realm ancestor!

Half-Step Transcendence Realm meant that one had fully comprehended the Chaos Great Dao!

The next step was to overcome the Tribulation of Transcendence and achieve the Transcendent Realm!

Mortal realm beings who wished to escape the control of the River of Life had to overcome the Tribulation of Transcendence.

This was a tribulation autonomously sent down by the mortal realm's Source Will.

The Tribulation of Transcendence was extremely terrifying, with a total of eleven stages, corresponding to the eleven Source Great Daos.

Lin Chen learned through soul-searching that the Spirit Clan's Half-Step Transcendence Realm ancestor was preparing for the Tribulation of Transcendence.

The Spirit Clan of the Azure Cang Realm was a branch of the Spirit Realm in the Endless Realm.

The Spirit Realm was a small world, and a small world contained millions of mortal realms!

And the Spirit Realm was named after the Spirit Clan! One could imagine how powerful the Spirit Clan was!

Under the Spirit Clan's control, branches of the Spirit Clan existed in millions of mortal realms.

At this moment, Lin Chen also understood the profound backgrounds of these Peak Races.

The Five Peak Races were likely all branches of powerful races in the Endless Realm.

However, Lin Chen wasn't too worried about the Five Peak Races in the Azure Cang Realm; they were merely being 'free-ranged.'

Only upon reaching the Transcendent Realm would they be taken seriously by their ancestral lands.

"I still have time. I currently hold hundreds of trillions of energy points, and the Transcendent Realm won't be too far away!"

Lin Chen then went to the territories of the Witch Clan, Three-Eyed Clan, and Blood Clan, investigating them all.

He didn't expect the Blood Clan to also have Half-Step Transcendence Realm experts.

In addition to the Half-Step Martial Gods, the combined races also had 5 late-stage Martial God experts.

After understanding the trump cards of the major Peak Races, Lin Chen returned to Blue Star.

And at this moment.

He sensed something, then looked at the system panel.

System upgrade progress 100%, upgrade successful!

The next moment, a brand-new system panel appeared.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Early-stage Martial God+

Mental Energy: 157.182 billion hertz

Mortal Realm Great Daos: Time, Space, Thunder, Yang, Yin, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth (Perfected)

Chaos (9.22%)

...Law Combat Skill Deduction: Costs 500 billion energy points

Great Dao Fusion Combat Skills: Blade of Time and Space, Cage of Time and Space... Ten Directional Extinction (Great Dao Fusion Combat Skills can be disassembled and combined)

World Combat Skill: Ten Directional Extinction (Can be converted by consuming 10 billion energy points)

Golden Body: Eleven Forgings+ (Costs 500 billion to upgrade)

...energy points: 22.3 trillion

System Upgrade: Costs 10 trillion energy points

Two new functions appeared with this system upgrade.

One was Law Combat Skill Deduction, and the other was Golden Body!

Law Combat Skill Deduction was equivalent to creating cultivation techniques and combat skills from scratch!

Previously, the Great Dao Combat Skills Lin Chen deduced required the corresponding cultivation techniques and combat skills for 9 branch laws, but now he could directly deduce them by consuming energy points.

The amount of energy points consumed was a bit much... But Lin Chen believed that the more energy points consumed, the stronger the combat skill would be, and it was very likely that the deduced combat skills would directly surpass Heaven-tier!

As for Golden Body, this gave Lin Chen a huge surprise!

One must know that in the Endless Realm, mobilizing Law Power was extremely resource-intensive, and if there were no source crystals to replenish Source Power, then one could only engage in close combat... At this time, a strong physical body would be very advantageous!

Martial cultivation relied on Great DaoBody irrigation, and could at most be raised to the Eleventh Forging Golden Body, which was the limit.

Unless there were some opportunities, it might be possible to increase it by two more stages.

For example, Lin Chen had mastered the Chaos Law before the Martial King Realm, and then experienced one more Chaos LawBody irrigation, so his upper limit could reach the Twelfth Forging Golden Body.

Beyond that, to continue improving physical strength, special methods and Heaven And Earth Treasure were needed to nourish the body.

"500 billion isn't much!"

Lin Chen secretly rejoiced. If it could directly increase to a physical strength capable of tearing apart Venerable Realm experts, that would be great.

But it's estimated that the further one goes, the more energy points will be needed... "First, absorb all the resources I have!"

He then began to use the system to devour and absorb energy.

In Lin Chen's Inner World, life cores piled up like mountains, along with a heap of blue source crystals!

Boom—

A terrifying energy tide surged in the Inner World... Half an hour later.

energy points: 44.6 trillion

"These energy points are still a bit short of fully comprehending the Chaos Great Dao. I'll first raise the Chaos Great Dao's comprehension to 90%, and use the rest for deducing combat skills!"

Lin Chen first dream-traveled to the Exotic Beast Mountain Range.

5 billion energy points could only increase the Chaos Great Dao's comprehension by 0.01%.

Lin Chen then consumed 40.4 trillion energy points to increase the Chaos Great Dao's comprehension!

Boom!

A memory torrent far exceeding anything before poured into Lin Chen's brain.

Lin Chen's understanding of the Chaos Great Dao increased at an astonishing speed. Previous areas of confusion were instantly enlightened and cleared!

And Lin Chen's aura grew stronger and stronger. The naturally emitted aura caused the exotic beasts within tens of thousands of kilometers to cower in fear, trembling continuously.

Finally, the breakthrough was complete!

Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Realm: Late-stage Martial God+

Mortal Realm Great Dao: Chaos (90%)

energy points: 4.2 trillion

With a thought, Lin Chen's inner true essence activated the Chaos Great Dao, and he casually chopped out with a hand-knife.

Boom—

Chaos aura surged out, and the world changed color! The space thousands of kilometers ahead instantly shattered!

"This..."

Lin Chen was shocked. Reaching 90% comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao was a qualitative leap!

He felt that merely by simply using the Chaos Great Dao, he could rival Ten Directional Extinction!

"Next, I'll deduce Chaos Law combat skills!"

Lin Chen was greatly looking forward to the power of the eleven Great Daos combined!
