524: foreign aid?

Authority Power?

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

"So, the Authority Power I've mastered is that wisp of Supreme Authority."

With a thought, a wisp of milky-white light appeared at Lin Chen's fingertip.

Boom—

Instantly, centered on this wisp of light...

...the void began to shatter, and a terrifying aura spread out.

Lin Chen had a premonition that with just this wisp of Authority Power, he could sweep through those in the early stages of the Divine Dao Realm!

As a seven-star aptitude, his Authority Power was definitely far ahead of ordinary Divine Dao Realms!

"I can still improve!"

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, and he consumed another 5,000M Energy Points.

Now was the time to improve his Aptitude!

Eight-Star Aptitude!

If the higher-ups of the Ten Realms knew about this, they would probably be scared to death... To them, a Six-Star Aptitude was already a peerless Prodigy.

It could only possibly appear in a Seven-Dimensional World.

An Eight-Star Aptitude would surely require an Eight or Nine-Dimensional World.

Worlds of this level were the Peak of the vast Sea of Dimensions... Amidst his Breakthrough, Lin Chen began to consult the System for more information.

He was very curious about this Divine Dao Authority.

He had only touched the tip of the iceberg so far.

"System, between different star-levels of Aptitude, for every 0.1% of Divine Dao Authority comprehended, how much Authority Power is increased?"

"Also, can Divine Dao Authority be used to deduce Authority Battle Skills?"

Lin Chen noticed there was no 'Authority Battle Skill' column on the system panel and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Host, it is impossible for a two-star Aptitude to break through to the Divine Dao Realm."

"Therefore, starting from three-star aptitude up to Eight-Star Aptitude, for every 0.1% of Divine Dao Authority comprehended, the Authority Power increases by 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 respectively."

"Because the Host has comprehended the Supreme Authority, on the basis of a seven-star aptitude, you gain an additional 2 points of Authority Power, making it 10 points."

"Divine Dao Authority is also a type of power, so it is indeed possible to create Battle Techniques with it."

"However, Battle Techniques can only be created once the Divine Dao Authority comprehension reaches 1%."

"If the Authority Power is too weak, it's impossible to form an effective Battle Technique; one can only use the Divine Dao Authority in its simplest form."

Lin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, a look of realization appearing on his face.

That meant that by mastering the Supreme Authority, his strength was even greater than those with the same star-level Aptitude!

No, it should be said he was much stronger!

Every 0.1% gave an extra 2 points.

After reaching Perfection in the Supreme Authority, he would have 2,000 points more than those with the same Aptitude!

This was a terrifying prospect!

One must know that 1 point of Authority Power is comparable to 1 million divine ability power.

The basic power level was ridiculously high!

Lin Chen estimated.

Between those in the Divine Dao Realm, a difference of just a few or a dozen points of Authority Power could create an absolute crushing advantage!

"I wonder what Daos those other Chosen Ones have mastered, and if they have touched upon the Supreme Authority..."

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Chen stopped thinking about it.

He now only needed to proceed steadily and improve everything that could be improved!

This was his advantage; as long as he had Energy Points, he could develop comprehensively!

Just like that, another half month passed.

Finally, Lin Chen's divine dao body transformed to the eight-star level!

On this day...

...within the Place of Origin, an endless pressure permeated!

Lin Chen's strength surged significantly!

Previously, when his divine dao body reached Perfection, his Authority Power increased by 20 points.

At that time, Lin Chen's divine dao body still had a seven-star aptitude.

Now, after breaking through to eight-star, it increased by another 20 points!

At the same time, he discovered...

...that with an Eight-Star Aptitude, every 0.1% comprehension of the Supreme Authority increased his Authority Power by 20 points!

According to the information previously given by the System, an ordinary Eight-Star Aptitude should increase Authority Power by 16 points.

Because Lin Chen comprehended the Supreme Authority, he gained an additional 4 points on top of the original... In that case, once his Supreme Authority reached Perfection, he would have at least 40,000 points of Authority Power!

Even against someone with the same Aptitude, he could absolutely crush them!

And now, Lin Chen's Authority Power had already reached 71.8 points!

He still had 32,700M Energy Points, and every 0.1% improvement required 1,000M Energy Points.

He still needed 9,000M to reach the 1% threshold for the Divine Dao Realm, which was more than enough!

Buzz—

With a thought, Lin Chen consumed more Energy Points and began his secluded cultivation!

With the System's point-allocation boost, Lin Chen's speed in comprehending the Supreme Authority was incredibly fast.

Three months later in the outside world, he had pushed his comprehension of the Supreme Authority to 1%!

At this very moment...

...Lin Chen's Authority Power seemed to have reached a certain critical point, and it became difficult to increase it even by a tiny bit.

He knew he had hit a Bottleneck.

As long as he broke through this Bottleneck, he could achieve the Divine Dao Realm!

This was also a Realm that Lin Chen had looked up to not long ago!

In just a few short years, he was about to reach it... Lin Chen looked at the system panel and finally noticed.

To break through this Bottleneck, he needed to consume 3,000M Energy Points.

Furthermore, after consuming the Energy Points, he would have to undergo a tribulation.

Divine Dao Tribulation!

The difficulty of this Divine Dao Tribulation was extremely high, as it was descended by the Supreme Authority of the Sea of Dimensions!

The Supreme Authority was inherently more powerful than those other five authorities, so this Divine Dao Tribulation was bound to be terrifying!

However, for this Divine Dao Tribulation, anyone else would surely have a slim chance of survival.

Lin Chen, however, could simply ignore it and instead take the opportunity to rake in a huge amount of Energy Points!

Buzz—

Lin Chen no longer hesitated and directly consumed 3,000M Energy Points.

The moment the Energy Points were consumed...

...within the endless void of the Place of Origin, an aura powerful to the extreme suddenly descended.

Lin Chen knew that this was precisely the Supreme Authority of the Sea of Dimensions!

He guessed that the reason the Supreme Authority could descend was due to the System's intentional guidance.

After all, he had already consumed the Energy Points... In the moment he was dazed, the aura in the void erupted.

Endless Immortal Light blasted toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's body was completely enveloped.

Instantly, large swathes of the void shattered.

Lin Chen didn't hesitate either and directly activated the System's Devour.

"Devour!"

In the next moment, the pressure filling the sky dissipated.

The Energy Points on the system panel increased by 100,000M!

"So many Energy Points!"

Lin Chen cried out in surprise, momentarily doubting his own eyes.

Rubbing his eyes and confirming that the Energy Points had indeed increased by 100,000M, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

One must know that the 30 billion contribution points the Three Great Realms had given him previously were only comparable to 36,000M Energy Points.

With so many Energy Points, Lin Chen could even push his Realm directly to the second level of the Divine Dao Realm!

At the same time, he saw that his Bloodline had also refreshed.

"In that case, I'll get everything done in one go during this seclusion!"

"My Bloodline can be improved once more!"

With one surprise after another, Lin Chen continued his seclusion.

While he was in seclusion...

...in the outside world, a great war had broken out once again in the Guixu Realm!

However, this time the Space-Time Realm had brought in foreign aid.

Lin Chen's Clone in the outside world was also aware of this.

He learned from Shen Yu that the foreign aid the Space-Time Realm had invited this time was a powerhouse from a Seven-Dimensional World closest to the Ten Realms!

"I hope it doesn't draw out the Mad Demon behind the Guixu Realm..."

He had a premonition that if the Guixu Realm were destroyed, that Chosen One—the Mad Demon...

...would very likely jump out!

"This won't do. If that Mad Demon appears, he might indiscriminately destroy the Ten Realms as well!"

Lin Chen realized the gravity of the situation...
