Devil Fruit

How rare were Third Generation Gods? Just look at Leng and Yan. Even after battling for 7,000 years, they were still only Third Generation Super Soldiers. That alone spoke volumes.

In the Known Universe, apart from Morgana, who had yet to upgrade, the only Fourth Generation Gods were Keisha, He Xi, and Carl. (Space Principal and Ding Heige didn't count. Ding Heige had played himself to death, while Space Principal's whereabouts were unknown.) And what about Third Generation Gods? There were more of them than Fourth Generation Gods, but only by a limited margin.

Hadn't Lord Hua remained merely a Third Generation God Body even after all these years? And even that upgrade had relied on the technology Ruo Ning took with her when she defected from the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, his situation might have been even worse.

As a Third Generation God, Leng had already become one of the very few people at the pinnacle of the Known Universe, ahead of Yan.

Seeing that Leng had already become a god, Yan was incredibly envious.

This was becoming a god! And thanks to the Devil Fruit, Leng had just upgraded to a Third Generation God Body, yet she had already become one of the strongest among Third Generation God Bodies.

She was truly burning with envy.

However, Yan wouldn't be jealous. She was simply happy that Leng had become a god.

Besides, Ximen Lang was right beside them. What was there to hurry about? With that thought, Yan cast Ximen Lang a flirtatious glance, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, Leng saw everything and remembered it all.

Seeing Ximen Lang's unnatural expression, Leng fiercely pinched his waist, even twisting it around once without anyone teaching her.

Ximen Lang was left utterly speechless.

So every woman knew this trick? He had only heard about it before, but now he had experienced it firsthand.

It really did hurt. Ximen Lang immediately returned to sage mode, and Yan's flirtatious glances could no longer stir the slightest ripple in him.

As for what he was thinking inside, that was not something outsiders needed to know.

Leng glared fiercely at Yan, raising the threat level she assigned to her by yet another notch. Yan didn't back down either, returning her a provocative look.

Queen Keisha's mouth twitched from her throne. Couldn't they see where they were? Honestly, these people...

Compared with Queen Keisha's speechlessness, He Xi appeared much more excited.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible! It ignores all physical attacks. Even a Godslaying Weapon can have only a very limited effect! It even possesses a certain degree of resistance to energy attacks."

"The most unbelievable thing is that every part of Leng's body—even every atom—is affected! It still can't compare with Holy Atoms, but this is already astonishing. One step further, and it would be a Fourth Generation God Body!"

"A Fourth Generation God Body is within reach!"

Queen Keisha was also somewhat surprised. A Fourth Generation God Body? From just this tiny fruit? Interesting. Truly interesting.

It seemed her evaluation of Ximen Lang had to rise another level. "Can you decipher it?"

"I'm afraid not. This is a completely unknown method of upgrading. It acts directly on the genes. No, it's more like an instinct—a natural-born instinct!"

Queen Keisha sighed. Just as expected, it couldn't be replicated. But that was normal. If even this ability could be replicated, Keisha didn't dare imagine what the universe would become.

Still, fortunately, although the milk had been drunk, the cow was still there.

At this point, some readers might feel that the Devil Fruit was a little too exaggerated.

But in the author's view, it wasn't exaggerated at all! Rather than calling the Devil Fruit an ability, it was more like a rule—a law that controlled heaven and earth! In the world of One Piece, it was limited by the physical strength of the human body. Although the Devil Fruit's manifestations were exaggerated, overall, they remained within an acceptable range.

But everyone had to understand that the Devil Fruit's power was tied not only to how extensively its user developed it, but also inseparably linked to the user's stamina.

And the Super God World? Physical bodies were its greatest strength!

A Second Generation Super Soldier could carry dozens of tons as easily as playing around. During the Tianhe Battle, Ge Xiaolun had even thrown a tank! He had thrown it while it was airborne! Clearly, that was still far from his limit!

And Leng—she was now a genuine Third Generation God!

After hearing He Xi's assessment, Yan's eyes turned red with envy!

Third Generation God was only the Starting Point, and even Fourth Generation God was within reach! Yan's breathing grew somewhat hurried, and she kept throwing flirtatious glances at Ximen Lang as though they cost nothing.

This greatly displeased Leng. If they weren't still in the Angel Temple, she would definitely have taught this little vixen a proper lesson.

How dare you seduce my male god? If I don't beat you thoroughly, you really won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has! Just you wait. I'll deal with you when we get back!

Leng silently put dealing with Yan on her schedule...

It was already deep into the night. Although the few people present could go several years without sleep and suffer no physical problems, they were still human. Physical health didn't mean they wouldn't feel mentally exhausted.

Besides, Ximen Lang was right here. What was there to hurry about? After learning about the situation, Queen Keisha said no more and let everyone leave.

Before leaving, however, Queen Keisha deliberately gave Zhi Xin a cryptic reminder.

"Little Zhi Xin, speed up the progress."

"Yes, Queen!"

What she meant by speeding things up went without saying. Naturally, it meant quickly achieving the feat of beating Ximen Lang a thousand times!

Hadn't Leng already achieved that feat ahead of her?

However, Little Zhi Xin was also troubled. After more than a month of Leng's training, Ximen Lang's strength had grown steadily as well.

Now, unless she used a weapon of mass destruction like the Great Judgment, she truly didn't have many ways to suppress him.

He was too tough—far too tough! Most importantly, that Anti-Void ability had extended the time she could control him to an astonishing half-second! And now Ximen Lang had completely awakened the angels' wings, so even air superiority was facing his challenge.

How was she supposed to get through that half-second? She wasn't Power of the Galaxy. She couldn't withstand the Void Greatsword's blows.

At the thought of this, Little Zhi Xin's head began to ache.

Whatever. Beating Ximen Lang a thousand times was Queen Keisha's order. No matter what, she had to complete it! Little Zhi Xin raised her tiny fist and secretly cheered herself on.

Meanwhile, after flying out of the Angel Temple, Leng saw Yan still teasing Ximen Lang beside her, and a vein appeared on her forehead.

You little vixen! You really don't take me seriously!

"Hey, the two of us are going home! Why are you still following us?"

"Home?" Yan froze.

Seeing Yan freeze, Leng froze as well.

Home. It was truly an unfamiliar word. Although Celestial City was the home of all angels, it was ultimately different.

Now she had a home too. The corners of Leng's mouth lifted slightly, and even her gaze toward Yan softened considerably.

Seeing the two of them dawdling, Ximen Lang couldn't help taking Leng's little hand.

"What are you waiting for? Let's hurry home! I'm almost starving!"

Hearing Ximen Lang's complaint, Leng came back to herself.

"Oh, right. Home. Let's go home."
