14 Heaven-Defying Talents, a Seventeenth-Tier High Martial World
A few days later, Chen Du ventured deep into Mount Tai again.
The Xuan Abyss-class starship remained silently at the bottom of the abyss; he did not touch it for the time being.
The launch of the starship will take time to figure out, but the threat from the Kema People won't wait.
He needs to improve his strength much faster!
He returned to the depths of Mount Tai, following the newly appeared, winding ancient stone paths.
The further down you go, the deeper the mountain becomes, the denser the light of the runes, and an inexplicable sense of oppression gradually fills the air.
Finally, at the end of a path surrounded by black stone walls, he stopped.
There was an extremely narrow crack in front of them, so narrow that only one person could pass through sideways.
A faint, dark purple light shone from the depths of the crack, like a half-open, half-closed eye.
Chen Du reached out and placed his palm on the crack. Deep within his consciousness, the panel suddenly trembled.
[An unexplored independent world has been detected... "Azure High Martial World"]
[World Level: Seventeenth Tier]
[World Type: Starfield World (This world is detected to be covered by a large number of unknown rules and cannot be resolved)]
[WARNING: This world's level exceeds the host's current world combat strength assessment. Please remain in a state of concealment and explore with caution after entering.]
[Enter?]
Seventeenth Tier!
Chen Du narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just returned from the Celestial Master Realm, and his Ninth Tier strength was already enough to overwhelm Blue Star. However, it was far from enough to face the upcoming hundred starships and Tenth Tier experts of the Kema People.
According to his understanding, Tenth Tier is already capable of instantly killing Ninth Tier!
First Tier represents a qualitative difference.
Seventeenth Tier, just how powerful is that!
He probably only needed a bit of luck to take off!
This world has come at just the right time. Without hesitation, he poured his True Essence into the crack in his palm, and his talent for Myriad Worlds Traversal was instantly activated.
A dark purple light surged forth, engulfing him entirely. The world spun, and his consciousness sank.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in another world.
[An unexplored independent world has been detected... "Azure High Martial World"]
[World Level: Seventeenth Tier]
[World Type: Starfield World (This world spans countless starfields and possesses vast cosmic territories!)]
[WARNING: This world's level exceeds the host's current world combat strength assessment. Please remain in a state of concealment and explore with caution after entering.]
[Enter?]
"Enter!"
Chen Du's consciousness lingered in the darkness for an unknown amount of time. When he opened his eyes again, a blinding white light poured down from above, causing him to squint.
The classroom was spacious, with rows of metal desks and chairs neatly arranged. A few lines of formulas remained on the blackboard, and a faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the air.
The sky outside the window had an unnatural purplish-blue hue, and in the distance, several giant spaceships could be vaguely seen slowly passing through the clouds, their lights flickering in the twilight.
A flood of memories rushed in, and Chen Du closed his eyes, letting the fragments piece together in his mind.
The original owner of this body was named Lin Du, seventeen years old, a senior martial arts student in the Third Middle School class of Tianfeng Metropolitan Circle, Azure High Martial World Divine Radiance Starfield, Weiran Star, in the Azure Martial Arts World.
In the Azure High Martial World, the Azure Humans possess highly advanced technology and resemble humans in appearance. They have colonized over a hundred million inhabited planets and ruled over eight thousand eighty-eight star systems. Top-tier experts can destroy a star system in an instant! Their population has exceeded fifty trillion trillion. Yet, no matter how advanced their technology, humanity has never truly been safe.
Beyond the star field, demonic races roam freely, and alien races surround us, constantly threatening humanity's living space.
In order to protect themselves, humanity embarked on the path of advanced martial arts, combining Martial Dao with technology to cultivate generation after generation of powerful martial artists.
The original owner of this body was a martial arts exam candidate.
With only three months until the college entrance examination, the results of the martial arts exam will directly determine which university he can enter, how many resources he can obtain, and how far he can go in the future.
The original owner had mediocre talent and came from an ordinary family; the only thing he could rely on was hard work.
He attends classes during the day, practices extra at night, and is still working on problems in the early hours of the morning, sleeping less than three hours a day.
Long-term overexertion and mental strain finally caused him to collapse on the training field last night.
Exhausted, over-practicing martial arts, overthinking—in short, he was driven to his death.
Chen Du slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
Young, clean-cut, with thin calluses on his knuckles from holding a sword for a long time.
He sensed the meridians of this body; although they weren't as good as the ones he had used before, they were far superior to those of Song Zhanyuan.
Humans in the Azure High Martial World are immersed in spiritual energy and gene-enhancing drugs from birth, giving them a foundation far superior to ordinary people. This body simply lacks refinement; its meridians themselves are not bad.
The Heavenly Master Divine Seal, the Cangming Abyss, and the Martial Canon were still in his sea of consciousness.
He sat calmly in his seat, waiting like the other dozens of students in the classroom.
The teacher on the podium is explaining a past college entrance examination question about the circulation of Qi and blood. His tone is hurried, and his writing on the blackboard is rapid.
Some of the students around me were engrossed in taking notes, while others stared intently at the blackboard, each with a tense expression on their face, as if they were being suffocated by pressure.
Chen Du sat among them, looking exactly like all the other martial arts candidates preparing for the exam, except that there was a deep, unfathomable calm in his eyes.
The Azure High Martial World is a world of the Seventeenth Tier, an extremely high level! There are probably countless worlds stronger than it.
The limits of this world are terrifying!
In an instant, the panel flashed:
[Congratulations on arriving in the Azure High Martial World]
[World Level: Seventeenth Tier]
[World Type: Starfield World]
[WARNING: The rules of this world differ significantly from those of the worlds the host has experienced before. Please explore with caution.]
[World's Spiritual Endowment Triggered...]
[A talent that resonates with the rules of this world is awakening...]
[Talent Awakening: Slay Demons to Become a God]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Subdue Demons and Exorcise Evil Lv1 (0/2): You can slay demons, obtain their remaining demonic energy, and convert it into twice your own lifespan.]

[Talent Awakening: The System Is King]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Genius System Lv1 (0/2): You will receive a reward for each task you complete! And the rewards will become increasingly richer.]
Chen Du read the text on the panel twice from beginning to end.
[Slay Demons to Become a Gods ]: Slay a demon, seize its remaining demonic essence, and then double it for your own use.
The Great Dao Is Long; it takes a year of one's lifespan to deduce insights that take two years to gain.
He slowly exhaled, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up inside him.
The Celestial Master Realm bestowed upon him the talent of Become a God on the Spot and the World as a Book, allowing him to unearth lost secret manuals and elixir formulas from the ancient Dao Resonance, all thanks to the sedimentation of time.
This time, it was very simple and brutal: killing the demon unleashed demonic energy.
There's also the System Is King, which might be the kind that assigns tasks to itself, but it's a bit of a shame that it appeared at this time.
With a thought, the complete panel appeared:
[Name: Chen Du]
