Ninth-Tier Level Four, Long Xingyu's Calculations and Plans, the Demons' Autumn Offensive Rises Again!

"Hiss, I remember now."

"I have a cheat. That system panel appeared just now."

"And this so-called max-level cultivation must have come with that cheat as well."

Long Xingyu muttered to himself, utterly pleased with the situation.

This was exactly what he needed right now!

Then, he began examining his cheat.

"Max-Level Cultivation, Level One. Triple Cultivation Speed, and no obstacles to breakthroughs. This cheat is seriously amazing." Long Xingyu sensed everything within it, a smile flashing through his eyes.

He had originally been wondering when he could fulfill his bold declaration from earlier—successfully break through and reach Ninth-Tier Level Four, then return to Bai Yue and Long Haochen.

But with things as they were now!

There was no need to think so much!

With cultivation speed tripled, he was only one step away from four hundred thousand spiritual power. Those two hundred points of spiritual power might take a third-tier knight years to accumulate, but for a Godly Seal Knight, it was nothing.

Most importantly, the breakthroughs ahead had no threshold and no obstruction. That was what truly mattered.

The main reason the original owner had been stuck at Ninth Tier Level Three for countless years was a mental knot that had prevented him from breaking through, leaving him stagnant. But now that knot had long since been untied, and with this cheat, breaking through would be easy!

With that thought, Long Xingyu swiftly entered cultivation.

The next day.

An exceedingly terrifying radiance emerged from Long Xingyu's body. At that moment, his Spiritual Pill erupted with dazzling light, waves of terrifying yet vast aura spreading outward.

Every object in the room was utterly shattered beneath that sharp edge.

This was killing intent!

It was also Long Xingyu's innate ability—slaughter!

Absolute slaughter!

This was Long Xingyu's absolute power!

After a long while, Long Xingyu finally raised his head and opened his eyes. He paid no attention to the destruction in the room, merely feeling the aura emanating from his body before breaking into laughter.

"Ninth-Tier Level Four—the Ninth-Tier Level Four that trapped the original owner for more than a decade—I've finally broken through it!"

"Perhaps I shouldn't put it this way, but once I get familiar with my fighting style, I could probably take on two of the original owner at once, perhaps even more! Even if the difference in spiritual power is only a few hundred points."

Long Xingyu smiled as he spoke.

Every level had its thresholds.

The transition from Ninth Tier Level Three to Level Four was one such threshold, as was the transition from Level Six to Level Seven. Then came the step from Level Nine to godhood.

Once each threshold was crossed, one's strength would surge forward, and the path ahead might become smooth sailing!

And now, Long Xingyu had successfully crossed this threshold.

This breakthrough had also come exceptionally smoothly.

Then, he turned and brought up his system panel for a look.

Host: Long Xingyu.

Identity: Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial, Hall Master of the Knight Temple, Vice Alliance Leader of the Temple Alliance.

Equipment Mastered: Godly Seal Throne of Doomsday and Slaughter Artifact, and so on.

Innate Inner Spiritual Power: 78+ (Light's Blessing)

Inner Spiritual Power: 400010+ (Ninth-Tier Level Four Early-Stage Punishment Knight)

Outer Spiritual Power: 120000+ points.

"Now, my influence within the Temple Alliance can increase considerably."

"Once one reaches Ninth-Tier Level Four, it is completely different from Ninth-Tier Level Three."

"If I were only at Ninth Tier Level Three, then even with my foreknowledge, people would stand in my way whenever I tried to do anything. But once I reach Ninth-Tier Level Four, people will trust me more, and there will be fewer voices opposing me." Long Xingyu muttered, a trace of seriousness flashing through his eyes.

Although the Temple Alliance was currently an alliance, and the Six Great Temples all obeyed its command on the surface, fundamentally, they were still a disorganized mess.

Long Xingyu understood this clearly.

It could be seen from the uneven distribution of resources and professions among the Six Great Temples alone.

Zhennan Pass, where the Priest Temple was stationed, had even been steadily pushed back because of this. They could only barely hold the line, while those old stubborn fools, for the sake of certain direct temple interests, had always refused to fully merge in.

Therefore, his plan was to truly elevate Yang Haohan in the future—or perhaps become the Temple Alliance Leader himself during the session five years from now—and manage all of this.

He intended to integrate the Six Great Temples in advance and turn them into the Temple Federation, thereby increasing humanity's strength.

And to accomplish all that, he needed the absolute authority that came with absolute strength. This breakthrough to Ninth-Tier Level Four counted as his first step!

"Still, the Temple Alliance's internal affairs are indeed easier for me to handle right now. After all, the higher-ups of this world, even Li Zhengzhi, who had once been at daggers drawn with Haochen, aimed to defeat the demons rather than harboring other petty schemes."

"My true enemies are still among the demons."

"Even setting aside my Father-in-law, the Demon God Emperor, the Star-Moon Demon God alone is enough to give me a headache. And against the demon gods ranked in the top ten, unless I use the power of the throne, I might not even be able to defeat them."

"I still need to find a way to quickly increase my strength."

Long Xingyu murmured.

A flicker of flame flashed through his eyes.

During this period of cultivation, his soul had gradually fused with the original owner's soul. Setting everything else aside, the original owner's hatred for the demon race and his desire to wipe out every Demon God had thoroughly infected his current self as well!

This was his goal!

And it was also Long Xingyu's goal now!

He wanted humanity to welcome true dawn ahead of time under his hands, to bring the entire demon race to ruin, and to let humanity once again gain true control over the Holy Demon Continent!

Of course, aside from that, this goal had something in common with Long Xingyu's desire to beat his father-in-law into submission.

Long Xingyu's little scheme was quite steady!

And if he wanted to accomplish all this, he should first complete one round of cultivation after another.

With that thought, Long Xingyu gradually prepared to enter a cultivation state.

However, before he could fully enter that state, he keenly sensed something. His gaze froze as he turned toward the walls of Dragon Control Pass.

His expression gradually turned cold.

"A demon race invasion during the Autumn Offensive?"

"And the Sixth Demon God, Bear Demon God Walif, is personally leading it?"

After sensing all this, Long Xingyu's emotions gradually cooled. He slowly rose to his feet, anger flashing in his eyes. "It looks like they're planning to force their way through in one wave."

"Do they really think Dragon Control Pass has no one left?"

With that thought, Long Xingyu slowly stood up. A crimson-gold longsword covered in golden patterns appeared in his hand, its edge gleaming as killing intent seemed ready to erupt completely.

It was clearly an absolute divine weapon!

The Doomsday and Slaughter Sword between the thrones!

"Then let them properly experience just how strong I've become after my successful breakthrough!"

With that, Long Xingyu slowly walked out, left the room, and rapidly headed toward the center of the battlefield.

The battlefield at Dragon Control Pass was filled with slaughter. At every moment, humans or demons died.

The Human Race army fought there, throwing away their lives and shedding their blood as they slew demons. They battled for humanity without the slightest thought of retreat, because they knew what they were doing and what they were fighting for.

But!

When a ten-meter-tall giant bear, gripping two enormous warhammers and radiating darkness and earth-element power, led his subordinates in an assault on Dragon Control Pass—

Even the top human powerhouses at the Eighth and Ninth Tier levels trembled.

Because the one who had come was the Ninth Tier Level 5 supreme demon powerhouse, the Sixth Pillar Demon God, Bear Demon God Oliver!
