Asura Inheritance-Asura World Extinction
Each deity's divine position contains not only a complete inheritance but also a wealth of memories related to cultivation. As for other memories unrelated to cultivation, they do not enter the divine position; they remain only in the depths of the soul upon the death of the host.
There are generally two ways to refine a divine position: ordinary refinement and special refinement.
Ordinary refining involves directly refining the divine position with divine fire, allowing for direct inheritance of the divine position. The advantage is that one can obtain all the memories and inheritances within the divine position; the disadvantage is that future cultivation will be limited by the divine position.
Special refining refers to refining a divine position using other special methods. These methods vary, but they all have one thing in common: after refining a divine position, one only obtains the memories and inheritance within the divine position, but does not inherit the divine position itself. The advantage of this is that one's future cultivation will not be limited by the divine position, but the disadvantage is that the inheritance obtained may ultimately be incomplete.
After attending the funeral, Gu Ding Team left Kenz Star (Tanya Star) on the same day. Gu Ding immediately entered Robert's domain and began refining Kenz's godhood. He chose a special method of refining that did not involve inheriting a godhood, and his refining process did not take too long.
Using his Fated Divine Power, Devouring the Heavens and Swallowing the Earth, Gu Ding completed the refinement of a divine position in less than an hour, a process that would normally take others at least several months. Thanks to the power of Devouring the Heavens and Swallowing the Earth, Gu Ding retained all the inherited knowledge and memories without any omissions, which was fortunate indeed.
After completing the refining of the divine position, Gu Ding remained seated, sorting through the memories and supernatural powers he had gained from it. From Kenz's memories, Gu Ding learned that Tanya had not lied to him; Kenz had indeed entered the True God's Ruins and obtained a portion of its inheritance.
After reviewing Kenz's cultivation experience in its entirety, Gu Ding realized there wasn't much he could learn from it. He didn't waste any more time and went straight for the Inheritance Memory.
That true god's inheritance is called the Asura Inheritance. The incomplete portion of the inheritance that Kenz obtained was only a set of martial arts techniques from the Asura Inheritance, called "《Asura World Extinction - Introductory Chapter》".
Upon seeing the words "Introduction" in the Inheritance Memory, Gu Ding frowned slightly. This meant that Kenz had not only received a martial arts inheritance, but even that inheritance was incomplete.
With a hint of doubt, Gu Ding began to peruse this inherited memory.
[《Asura World Extinction - Introductory Chapter》, cultivation requirements are as follows:]
[Condition 1: Physical strength must surpass one major level of cultivation!]
[Condition Two: Soul strength must surpass one major level of cultivation!]
[Condition Three: The strength of your divine source must surpass your cultivation level by at least one major level!]
[Condition Four: Martial Dao Intent must have reached at least the Lesser Completion stage of the Entrance to the Microscopic Realm!]
All four conditions above are indispensable. Forcing cultivation before meeting the requirements will inevitably lead to death!
Upon seeing these four conditions, Gu Ding felt a chill run down his spine. It was simply unbelievable that the cultivation conditions for even a basic introductory chapter were so demanding. Because if one's physical body, soul, or divine source strength exceeded one's cultivation level by a whole major stage, that already placed one at the level of a five-star prodigy. As for meeting all four conditions, one would at least possess the strength of an unparalleled prodigy. It might even require the power of Forbidden King. This made Gu Ding somewhat suspicious that this inherited cultivation method was something someone had deliberately created to bluff their way out of nothing.
Gu Ding himself was a demigod, and to cross a major level, he needed to reach the strength of Five-Star Low-rank God.
Gu Ding's physical strength was only at the level of Four-Star Low-rank God, and it was only with the permanent enhancement of the Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body that he reached the level of Seven-Star Low-rank God. This first condition was barely met.
As for soul strength, after passing the Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Ding's Fated Divine Power changed, and his soul strength also increased dramatically to that of One-Star Mid-rank God, thus fulfilling the second condition.
As for the strength of his divine source, that has always been Gu Ding's forte. After obtaining the Purple Lightning Divine Fire from the Heavenly Tribulation, his divine source strength had reached the level of a mid-level Seven-Star Mid-rank God, not far from that of High-rank God. This surpassed his own cultivation by more than two major levels, thus fulfilling the third condition.
As for the fourth condition, Martial Dao Intent, Gu Ding had already reached the minor completion of the Micro Realm, and was only one step away from the major completion.
Therefore, Gu Ding meets all four of these very demanding conditions.
Gu Ding finally understood why Kenz had failed to cultivate this inherited technique: Kenz's soul strength and divine source strength had not met the requirements.
"If even the introductory chapter has such demanding requirements, I'd like to see just how incredible this technique is!" Gu Ding said with a hint of skepticism as he opened the subsequent parts of the inherited technique.
The Asura World Extinction emphasizes the skill of overcoming all laws with sheer force, perfectly combining one's physical body, soul, divine source, and Martial Dao Intent to unleash powerful moves that transcend the limitations of cultivation...
Most people fight primarily relying on their cultivation level, then using their physical body, soul, divine source, or Martial Dao Intent as supplements, and further amplifying their Combat Strength with supernatural abilities. However, this approach is always constrained by the level of cultivation. The Asura World Extinction, on the other hand, can minimize these constraints, unlocking the cultivator's maximum potential and maximizing their Combat Strength...
Gu Ding continued reading, and realized that this peculiar cultivation method differed from ordinary ones in its philosophy. Ordinary cultivation methods taught how to enhance the strength of the physical body, soul, and divine source, or the Martial Dao Intent. This method, however, did not teach how to enhance these aspects, but rather how to coordinate various factors within one's body to maximize Combat Strength.
This theory amazed Gu Ding, and he continued to read through the entire set of techniques, page by page.
In the end, the Inheritance Memory transformed into a scene. In the scene was a man in black robes. His cultivation level was the same as Gu Ding's, only that of a demigod, and his physical attributes had just reached the cultivation standards for the beginner level.
The man in black robes entered the area teeming with Five-Star Mid-rank God beasts alone. He carried no armor, no weapons, and used no Combat Strength- enhancing abilities. He moved through the beast horde as if it were nothing. Wherever he went, all the beasts were instantly killed. In just three minutes, millions of beasts were completely slaughtered.
"How is this possible?! He clearly didn't use any amplification abilities or weapons; he only used martial arts techniques!" Gu Ding was shocked by this scene.
It's not that Gu Ding couldn't annihilate a beast horde of that magnitude; he could, and even faster than the black-robed man. He only needed to unleash his divine fire, and millions of demonic beasts could be wiped out in seconds. But Gu Ding succeeded because of the power of his divine fire and the immense boost it provided to his Combat Strength. By suppressing his internal energy to the level of the black-robed man, relying solely on martial arts without any amplifying abilities, weapons, or armor, Gu Ding couldn't even defeat a single One-Star Mid-rank God, let alone millions of Five-Star Mid-rank God beasts.
After witnessing this, Gu Ding found his direction for improvement.
The introductory chapter only provides a preliminary method of fusion, which at most raises Combat Strength by one level. This one level does not transcend cultivation level, but rather the weakest of the three: physical body, soul, and divine source.
Gu Ding's weakest point is his physical body, which is only at the level of Seven-Star Low-rank God. Therefore, even if the initial fusion is completed, the strongest power he can unleash is only at the level of a Mid-rank God seven-star deity.
Day after day, in Robert's domain, every punch and kick Gu Ding threw was a slow process of integration.
Ten days later, Gu Ding finally succeeded in making a small leap in Combat Strength.
Twenty days have passed, and Gu Ding has completed a leap in Combat Strength of two minor tiers.
A month later, Gu Ding finally completed a leap in Combat Strength across three minor tiers.
Three months later, Gu Ding finally mastered the entire system of inheritance and completed his cultivation.
Gu Ding also discovered that his Martial Dao Intent was showing signs of breaking through. Instead of leaving seclusion, he began to hone his Martial Dao Intent.
For nearly two months, Gu Ding stopped watching those Martial Dao Intent videos and spent most of his time in virtual battles.
After Gu Ding ascended to demigod status, Sea Emperor's authority expanded considerably. He created a simple virtual Challenge Game, and the characters in the game were all generated based on characters in his database. The models were created based on the characters' various data and their performance in various battles, and Sea Emperor claimed that the accuracy of the recreation was over 99%.
Those who fought against Gu Ding were all powerful martial arts masters who had reached the Great Perfection of the Entrance to the Microscopic Realm. The Sea Emperor changed the cultivation levels of those individuals to be the same as Gu Ding's, and also prohibited Gu Ding from using amplification abilities in battle.
Over the course of two months, Gu Ding challenged more than two hundred strong opponents and was defeated countless times before finally achieving a breakthrough.
When Gu Ding emerged from the pass, only five days had passed in the outside world.
The moment Bigge saw Gu Ding, he noticed that Gu Ding's Martial Dao Intent had improved again. "Your Martial Dao Intent has reached the Great Entrance to the Microscopic Realm so quickly."
Gu Ding nodded, though he wasn't entirely satisfied. "It's a pity that my strength hasn't increased much."
"Your current strength is limited by your physical body. There are only two ways to increase your physical body strength: one is to raise your cultivation to the divine realm, and the other is to directly take the corresponding potions or herbs." The Sea Emperor also pointed out Gu Ding's current problem.
"My cultivation has only recently broken through. It would be better to wait until it's more stable before advancing to godhood. Personally, I hope to cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body to the highest level of the Devil Elephant Realm before making any further advancements." Gu Ding thought for a moment and decided that the matter of advancing his cultivation could be put on hold for the time being. He personally preferred the latter approach.
"Then let's choose Gold Silver Island as our next landing point! It's the most prestigious trading area in the Shallow Sea Zone. If we go all out, it will take about two weeks to reach it." The Sea Emperor immediately decided on the next landing point for the spaceship.
