Ascension Stairway
Above the Firmament.
The boundless thunder and Thunderbolt reverberated incessantly, as if the sky were about to collapse at any moment. Thick, bright pillars of lightning would occasionally appear and strike down, with twisted blue electric sparks spreading everywhere.
At this moment.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only two figures remained, seemingly stepping out of mythology!
One of them was five meters tall, with many ferocious silver-white bone spurs on his body, and a huge ball of lightning surrounding him. He looked up at the sky, his long gray hair dancing wildly in the wind.
The other one hovered in mid-air, with six pairs of enormous golden wings swirling with powerful fluctuations of the Time Law. It wore crystal armor, and its face was concealed beneath a magnificent white mask.
He held the Sea of Light Sword high, its blade shimmering with brilliant light and surging with boundless power!
Boom!
The immense pressure collided with each other, and the heavens and earth roared in response.
The Ninth Level of the Extreme Divine Weapon - Immortal Can Be Fought!
The Controller's Nine Divine Weapons are the most advanced psychic weapons below the Divine Spirit Weapon. They are extremely difficult to control and require the utmost Law Comprehension. In the vast universe, those who can unleash the ninth level at the World Lord level are all the chosen ones of heaven!
The final form of these Nine Divine Weapons, due to their immense power, was uniformly named "Immortal Can Be Fought," to the point that their original names were gradually forgotten.
Taking the Yan Shen Armament as an example, as far as Lin Yan knows, the original name of the ninth form was "Yan God Golden Sword"!
World Lord peak uses this move, the Yan Shen Armament can instantly Shuttling Void, disappearing as if by teleportation, and then suddenly reappear at a certain point to carry out an instant assassination!
Weapons Shuttling Void, appearing and disappearing at will, which is naturally countless times easier than physical teleportation. If one reaches the "third level of the ninth level", the weapon's Shuttling Void can truly be called "teleportation", without any Space Fluctuation, making it undetectable to others, reaching the limit of the power of the Yan Shen Armament... and may even kill ordinary Immortal God!
The ninth form of the Extreme Divine Weapon is called "Ascension Stairway"!
The origin of the Extreme Divine Weapon is the "Po Mirror Clan" located in the Heavenly River Universe Country. The Po Mirror Clan is an ordinary race among the Myriad Races in the universe, and also a vassal race of the peak race, humanity.
The Po Mirror Clan is not Flesh-type life form, but rather a type of Metal-type Lifeform. Their physical structure is very unique, and they can undergo four transformations through the "Starfall Benediction" ritual.
These are the four stages one must go through to become Immortal God.
Once you reach the ultimate "Transcendent" state, you can basically break through to immortality directly.
The ninth form of this Extreme Divine Weapon was created by the Universe Venerable of the Po Mirror Clan based on this "Transcendent" form.
The reason it's named "Ascension Stairway" is quite simple: as long as you can use this move, you can step into the realm of "gods"!
Immortal Can Be Fought!
When Mental Master merges with this ninth form, they can use the World Lord peak to drive the contained Law Secret Patterns, and rely on the Extreme Divine Weapon and the fluctuations of the Time Law to generate resonance. "Time Wave Resonance" is a subcategory of the Time Law, which can simply control the Time Flow Rate in the surrounding area.
Under normal circumstances, practitioners of the Time Law can only affect the Time Flow Rate, causing the surrounding Time Flow Rate to become distorted and disordered. However, by comprehending this "Time Wave Resonance," they can find the pattern of this Time Flow Rate distortion and apply it in practical combat.
Although it is far inferior to the ultimate techniques of the three major Time Law — Time Acceleration, Time Stop, and Time Deceleration —its power is still extremely terrifying.
Boom!
Lin Yan looked down at the terrifying figure shrouded in lightning.
A faint, sacred voice echoed between heaven and earth, seemingly emanating from the void, from an omnipresent deity. "Now, retreat, and I will allow you to live!"
Qi Ku glanced deeply at Lin Yan, who was now in a mysterious state. His lifeless eyes were as black as an abyss. He did not show any anger at Lin Yan's words, but simply said coldly, "No need."
Unnecessary.
For Qi Ku, life and death, killing and being killed, are merely scenery along the way.
It requires neither one's own kindness nor the mercy of others.
This composure surprised Lin Yan. He looked at his opponent and an extremely strong killing aura emanated from him, as if the eyes of a god were locked onto Qi Ku.
"Qi Ku!"
"Then let's fight!"
The clash of their auras and the interaction of their wills made them both feel the strength of their opponent.
Moment!
Vast, majestic, and endless thunder descended in a mighty torrent, its powerful force piercing through the void, turning tens of thousands of kilometers around into a world of lightning.
This lightning can distort time, causing the Time Flow Rate in the surrounding area to become disordered.
"World Projection, the strongest reliance of the World Master to suppress the domain lord... Your world oppression is indeed very strong, but it is useless against me." Lin Yan licked his lips, his fighting spirit burning even more fiercely in his eyes.
Instantly!
Countless dark, glowing curves suddenly emanated from his body, extending and penetrating the void, directly enveloping the World Projection of the Qi Ku.
Boom!
Spacetime trembled and distorted, and even the World Projection of the Qi Ku was faintly collapsing under the pressure of the "Black Hole Force Field".
Qi Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze growing increasingly cold.
This is it.
It was this secret technique that killed Yaoke. What kind of secret technique is this that could make a domain lord's spatial pressure even stronger than the World Projection!
Boom!
Qi Ku unleashed a terrifying aura and vanished from its spot in an instant, its speed transforming into a blurry streak of light as it directly attacked Lin Yan in mid-air.
He wielded two purplish-black chains, crackling with electric lightning. The movement of the two Lightning Chain caused the Time Flow Rate in the surrounding space to constantly change.
"Go!"
One of the Lightning Chain, like a python emerging from its hole, suddenly shot out, a bright flash of lightning streaking across it, and lashed directly at Lin Yan.
When that bolt of lightning struck.
"Whoosh!"
A sound like the tides rose!
With a flap of his six golden wings, Lin Yan's Sea of Light Sword pierced the chains almost instantly. A dazzling sword light shone, causing the chains to vibrate and twist, flying backward in disarray. However, another chain followed suit, attempting to Strangulation them.
The Lightning Chain subtly shifted the flow of time and space, making one feel as if their reaction speed had slowed down considerably.
"Heh!" Lin Yan's cold eyes flashed like lightning as he channeled his mental power into the Law Secret Patterns on the Extreme Divine Weapon. In an instant, the flow of time around him became extremely strange, suddenly increasing dozens of times faster and then suddenly slowing down.
Qi Ku's pupils contracted. Before he could even react, Lin Yan suddenly appeared on his right side.
The sword emitted a dazzling white light.
"Hmph." Qi Ku his right hand, revealing Lightning Chain. Wherever the chain passed, the Universe Space collapsed. The Lightning Chain swept up countless Space Fragments and lashed out domineeringly.
A dazzling sword light rushed forward.
Bang!
The Space Fragments vibrated and distorted, and a powerful shockwave instantly spread in all directions, while Lin Yan was directly blasted thousands of kilometers away.
He Jueyi surge of energy, and then his figure flashed. With an eerie flow of time, his figure moved like a ghost, dodging another attack from the Qi Ku.
"Such terrifying power. Even with the ninth level of 'Immortal Can Be Fought Confronted,' it is still impossible to withstand." Lin Yan's eyes behind the mask deepened as he looked down at the approaching Qi Ku.
Lin Yan's Law Comprehension is already at the Tongtian Bridge 15th floor, which is enough to meet the requirements of the third level of "Immortal Can Be Fought". However, that is based on the World Lord peak, which Lin Yan is far from achieving.
"My Life Gene Level is 55 times, and my Soul Amplitude is 59 times. In addition, my special physique gives me extra amplitude when using the Extreme Divine Weapon. Even so, my basic strength is at most equivalent to the World Lord Tier 4-5, which is far from the World Lord peak."
That's right.
Although he was only at the Domain Lord level, Lin Yan's Soul Amplitude had already reached an astonishing 59 times!
At this moment, his soul, which had condensed into the shape of a crystal ball, was covered with countless golden lines, as dazzling as gold and jade. The more golden lines there were in his soul, the stronger the Psionic Amplitude Strength became.
It has now reached 5931!
Compared to before, it has almost doubled.
The Soul-type Amplitude Secret Method, "Desirelessness," demands extremely high levels of control over ethereal mental power and strong willpower. It becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progresses through the levels from 1 to 30, and from 30 to 60, with the difficulty increasing exponentially.
Although Lin Yan's will was extremely strong, he was only at the Domain Lord level after all, and it was easy for him to reach the limit of his soul. However... thanks to the "Clear Soul Yuan Dew", a precious treasure worth 30 billion points, Lin Yan's soul underwent a great transformation!
Even so, his basic strength was still not strong enough.
If facing Yaoke and others, this gap can naturally be made up by Law Comprehension. Good psychic weapons have a strong amplification effect. With the assistance of the Extreme Divine Weapon, the power will naturally soar. Lin Yan's "Immortal Can Be Fought" is enough to easily kill an opponent like Yaoke, who is invincible among the World Master.
But--
He was facing Qi Ku.
It is an existence that once defeated Immortal God head-on!
"The other party's Law Comprehension may have reached the level of the 14th level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he is a member of the Prison Race royal family, whose energy level is several times higher than that of a normal World Lord peak."
With this shift in power, even though the Qi Ku is somewhat lacking in Attack Secret Technique, it is still formidable enough.
"I can sense that you are fighting me with your own power. The fact that you can fight me at the Domain Lord level is frightening to me. Unfortunately, since you have chosen to fight me, you only have death on your path."
The Qi Ku echoed with thunder, "Human! I will uncover the secret of your immense power after you die."
A blurry flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Qi Ku, wielding the chain, charged towards Lin Yan with lightning speed.
"You can't do it," Lin Yan said coldly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Lin Yan spread his golden wings, golden trails appeared in the space. With that strange flow of time, Lin Yan's figure was like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.
He had only wanted to test the other party's strength, but now that he knew the other party's strengths and weaknesses, there was no need to force a head-on confrontation.
The greatest advantage of "Immortal Can Be Fought" is not its attack power, but its mastery of the Time Law. "Time Wave Resonance" can make its instantaneous bursts and changes reach a terrifying speed.
The power of time is the most mysterious.
Brush!
The golden phantom moved and appeared eerily on the other side of the Qi Ku!
Flash again! Lin Yan appeared directly behind him.
Flash again! Lin Yan appeared to the left of Qi Ku.
His movements were sometimes as fast as lightning, and sometimes incredibly slow, but only Qi Ku in the midst of the battle could feel the immense pressure behind it.
Because when Lin Yan becomes "slow and clumsy," he is actually the most dangerous, as he can always dodge any of Lin Yan's attacks in time, and his movements become even more unpredictable.
It was as if they were toying with him with speed.
"Whoosh!"
During this frantic transfer, Lin Yan first used himself as bait to expose the Qi Ku. The Sea of Light Sword broke through the Lightning Chain and directly pierced the Qi Ku's left rib!
The combination of time and light creates a time-lapse effect, possessing a strong purifying Annihilation effect.
Blood with a mercury-like consistency flows out, and the wound cannot heal.
"Hmph!" A hint of anger flashed in the lifeless eyes of the Qi Ku. The ferocious bone spikes pierced through the space, and electric snakes snaked across the two Lightning Chain he held, containing a chilling aura. As the chains danced, the surroundings became the complete territory of the Lightning Chain.
Brush!
Lin Yan's eyes sharpened, and he instantly drew his sword and retreated.
"Didn't you just say you were going to take my life?" Qi Ku said coldly. "Why are you only running away now?"
"I didn't run away," Lin Yan laughed. "I was just using my speed advantage to fight you. What, is that not allowed?"
Boom!
A blurry bolt of lightning struck the spot where he was standing.
But he gained nothing, and Lin Yan's figure flashed again!
And so... at the location where the two fought, the land sank, volcanoes collapsed, and Universe Space shattered time and time again.
Qi Ku formidable strength and exceptional combat abilities, but his Law Comprehension is considerably weaker, resulting in shortcomings in various adaptability and flexibility.
Although Lin Yan's basic strength was far inferior, he used the Extreme Divine Weapon to achieve "Time Wave Resonance," completely suppressing Qi Ku in terms of movement. Under the strange flow of time, Qi Ku often found it difficult to even raise its guard.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lin Yan flashed and appeared in various places, using the Sea of Light Sword to repeatedly seek opportunities to attack the Prison Race's strongest World Lord, "Qi Ku".
"This is the opponent I've been waiting for!" Under the Strangulation of the two Lightning Chain, Lin Yan used his movement and swordsmanship to the extreme. Under the pressure of his opponent, Lin Yan was also integrating what he had learned, and his movement and swordsmanship became more and more skillful.
This was something he had rarely experienced before.
Because of his previous training in the Cosmic Secret Realm, he mostly used his Talent Secret Method to seek opportunities and benefits, and rarely had the chance to engage in such exhilarating battles.
But in this Purgatory Divine Kingdom, he could fight this powerful opponent to his heart's content without any reservations.
Time passed.
At first, Qi Ku could force Lin Yan to defend himself, but as Lin Yan became more familiar with this "Immortal Can Be Fought" fighting style and used it more and more skillfully, his figure was like a ghost, and Qi Ku could no longer attack Lin Yan!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Humans, die!" The Qi Ku roared furiously, its eyes burning with rage.
Boom!
A massive bolt of lightning coiled around the body of the Qi Ku, its pure electric light capable of easily Destruction a star!
The void kept exploding!
"Thunderous Might!"
The aura of the Qi Ku grew stronger and more violent. It roared and swung the purplish-black chains in its hand. The Time Flow Rate changed in different areas as the chains passed through. Finally, the two Lightning Chain clashed in mid-air!
A powerful Destruction force descended instantly!
Moment!
Lin Yan's pupils contracted, and a sense of unease surged up. The powerful Destruction force seemed to have locked onto him, and he immediately had a strange intuition!
There's no escaping it!
Boom!
Enormous lightning crackled around the body of the Qi Ku, which suddenly erupted, its chains shattering the surrounding Universe Space. The Space Fragments vibrated and twisted, and a powerful shockwave spread out instantly.
A dazzling Lightning Chain strikes!
"Oh!"
"Then let's give it a try." Lin Yan's eyes were filled with madness. His will instantly reached its highest limit. His Origin Force, telekinesis, and physical strength were completely combined. His body burst out with dazzling golden light, and his aura surged dramatically.
Talent Secret Method - Annihilation!
Lin Yan's strength rapidly increased dozens of times, reaching an astonishing level!
Wow!
Lin Yan swiftly unleashed the secret technique "Heavenly Punishment," his powerful will guiding an invisible Mental Power to invade Qi Ku's soul!
At the same time.
With a flap of its golden wings, its speed surged once more. In an instant, a dazzling sword light descended from the sky, piercing towards the brilliant Lightning Chain!
And... a figure wielding Lightning Chain, his body covered in hideous bone spurs!
Boom!
Thunder roared, and endless electric snakes snaked everywhere. Then, in the next moment, a dazzling white light burst forth, filling the heavens and the earth!
