Successive Breakthroughs to Highgod

The addition of Leilin was merely a minor episode for the current Federation.

It should be said that for the majority of people in the Federation, the arrival of an ordinary Lowgod was not worth noting.

However, Leilin soon displayed his shocking talent.

Starting from behind, he quickly achieved numerous accomplishments in various research projects and broke through to become a Highgod at an incredible speed, nearly causing Adkins to drop his jaw in shock.

The name Leilin became a member of the Federation's highest echelon, standing alongside the likes of Adkins and Pusiluo, with many even feeling that he had surpassed those two.

In the one hundred millionth year of the Federation calendar, Adkins broke through to become a Highgod with the strength of having fused four types of profound mysteries, becoming the Federation's first true Highgod.

Immediately after, one hundred thousand years later, the unwilling-to-lag-behind Pusiluo broke through to become a Highgod with the strength of having fused four types of profound mysteries, becoming the second Highgod of the Federation.

However, the most astonishing was still Leilin. Although he was the last to break through, he had already fused five types of profound mysteries when he reached the Highgod realm. While he had no leads on a sixth, his strength was enough to make even Pusiluo feel troubled.

At this moment, both Adkins and Pusiluo felt as if their long lives had been lived in vain.

This Leilin, who had shown nothing special at the beginning, had turned out to be like someone using a cheat code, breaking through frantically.

Despite being much younger than Pusiluo and Adkins, his strength quickly surpassed them both.

It made them have to sigh that Lord Huosi's eye for talent was truly, terrifyingly sharp.

Yulan Plane, Federation Building, high above.

"Take this!"

Pusiluo held a giant axe, transforming into a god of war, and charged toward Leilin with a fierce posture.

In an instant, Pusiluo's body was covered in flames, the temperature high enough to instantly burn a god to ashes.

However, the Leilin opposite him remained incredibly calm.

"I've told you how many times, don't just blindly charge in."

Leilin smiled helplessly and raised his hands unhurriedly.

The next moment, two massive fire dragons appeared out of thin air, circling Leilin and turning into cyan flames that pierced the clouds.

"Damn it, this move again! Break for me!"

Pusiluo couldn't help but curse, then raised his battle axe and slashed forward.

However, the cyan flames seemed to have a life of their own, dodging Pusiluo's attack with fluid grace before wrapping around his arms.

"Then taste this!"

Pusiluo gritted his teeth, injecting divine power into his battle axe, and a terrifying explosion of energy erupted, breaking the restraint.

Leilin just smiled indifferently and raised his right hand. A giant shield formed instantly, and the intense collision tore the space apart, yet Leilin himself remained completely unscathed.

"I'm done, I'm done. You guy is truly a freak."

Pusiluo put away his weapon and shook his head vigorously.

"Just be content, at least you can still trade blows with him for a while."

Adkins, who was watching the battle, curled his lips and spoke to Pusiluo in an annoyed tone.

Adkins was now completely convinced by Leilin. In the past, Adkins had always considered himself a genius.

In the early days, he was the strongest Saint Realm under Lord Huosi. Later, many god-level beings joined, but those gods were old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years, so he didn't fear them.

Even later, when the equally talented Pusiluo joined the Lord's command, Pusiluo's strength was inseparable from his Volcano Giant bloodline.

By comparison, Adkins still had confidence in his own comprehension.

Even now, Pusiluo's fusion of laws and profound mysteries had surpassed his own, but Adkins didn't pay it much mind.

For one, he had spent too much time on research, while the brute Pusiluo disliked research and had almost no scientific achievements.

Therefore, being slightly behind him was entirely within expectations.

Secondly, he had upgraded his battle armor many times over the years. Fighting Pusiluo, he at least had a speed advantage and could still maneuver around.

Although his armor was only a replica and couldn't compare to Lord Huosi's set, at least he had the ability to trade blows with Pusiluo.

But when it came to Leilin, he had no solutions at all. This guy had clearly spent the least amount of time cultivating, yet his fusion of laws and profound mysteries was the strongest.

Moreover, while cultivating, he hadn't fallen behind in his research progress at all. He had participated in the Space Turbulence Big Dipper Satellite System and the Interstellar Warship system that the Lord had focused on for years, leaving Adkins—who considered himself the number one scientist under the Lord—with no temper left.

Even if Adkins gave it his all, he could not be Leilin's opponent, and he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"You few, sparring again?"

Just as the three were chatting, the figure of Huosi emerged from the void.

"My Lord, how could I possibly spar with them? I can only act as a referee."

Adkins could only offer a wry smile in response.

In the past, Adkins had sparred with them, but later, he gave up entirely.

Fighting Pusiluo, he could still rely on evasion to tangle with him for a while; although he couldn't win, he wouldn't lose too miserably.

As for Leilin, he had no hobby of seeking abuse, even if Leilin was a very kind and approachable person.

"Indeed, my lord. Leilin is truly terrifying. I must say, your eye for talent is impeccable; you managed to pick him out from the crowd in an instant."

Pusiluo also spoke up, his tone filled with envy.

As a powerful Volcano Giant, although he hadn't achieved it yet, he was confident that he would fuse five profound mysteries in the future.

However, Leilin's future might potentially lead him to fuse the legendary Grand Perfection.

Hearing the words of these two, Leilin's mouth twitched, his expression somewhat helpless, and he could only speak:

"My lord, Pusiluo's attack style is far too singular. I have reminded him many times, but he simply refuses to change."

If it were that easy to change, I would have reached Grand Perfection long ago.

Pusiluo thought to himself. Since they both cultivated the Laws of Fire, Leilin's comprehension and application of the laws were far superior to his own.

Pusiluo sought out Leilin for sparring sessions partly with the intention of observing and learning from him.

Yet, after sparring so many times, Pusiluo always felt as if he were in a fog; he felt as though he understood, yet he didn't.

They were clearly cultivating the same law and fusing the same profound mysteries, yet he simply could not grasp the other's application—that was what made him the most frustrated.

"When it comes to cultivation, knowing the problem doesn't mean you can just change it at will. After all, Pusiluo is not you."

Huosi glanced at Pusiluo and spoke as well.

Pusiluo's talent was not bad, and even Adkins' talent was not poor, but when it came to this, the most dreaded thing was comparison.

With Pusiluo's talent, fusing five profound mysteries should be his limit; as for Grand Perfection, it was absolutely impossible.

Across countless planes, there were fewer than thirty suspected Grand Perfection experts.

This number included some who were not true Grand Perfection, such as Beirut, Aiken, Linley, and the like, and perhaps even Sovereign clones. In reality, there were, on average, no more than two true Grand Perfection experts per element.

Even for Leilin, he still had no clue about reaching Grand Perfection, and this final step might be a very, very long way off.

"My lord, did you come over for something?"

Leilin did not want to continue this topic and instead asked directly.

Over these years, as his strength gradually surpassed Adkins and Pusiluo, Leilin felt a sense of pride within himself.

But in front of Huosi, he still maintained a very respectful attitude. On one hand, it was because Huosi was his benefactor who had given him a new lease on life, making him worthy of respect.

On the other hand, it was because Huosi's strength gave him a feeling of being unfathomable, leaving him with no confidence that he could win.

Over the many years, he had sparred with Huosi countless times and had never won once.

Of course, when he fought Huosi, he was a Midgod, and the last time was before he broke through to become a Highgod.

However, at that time, as a Midgod who had fused five profound mysteries, his strength was already at the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

Yet, he felt Huosi's power was incomprehensible, and even now, he had a feeling that he could not overcome him.

In truth, Huosi himself was not sure exactly what level his current strength belonged to.

However, he was certain that he did not fear an average Asura.

As he conquered more and more planes and acquired more resources, combined with the advancement of basic science, Huosi had modified his battle armor time and time again. Every nano-scale component had been improved through new technology.

Now, with the enhancement of the battle armor, his physical strength, while not quite at the level of a Sovereign Artifact, was not far off.

As for soul defense, he felt that, at the very least, he had nothing to fear except for soul attacks from a Grand Perfection.

The various attack methods embedded within the battle armor were also sufficient to deal with battles against Asuras.

If he were to refine a Highgod spark next, Huosi felt he could become the number one person beneath the level of Grand Perfection.

A Highgod who refined a spark, claiming to be the number one beneath Grand Perfection—it sounded quite ridiculous.

However, this was the confidence Huosi possessed today. As long as Leilin did not reach Grand Perfection, he would not worry about being surpassed.

But regarding Grand Perfection and the Willpower of a Grand Perfection, Huosi had no clues. After all, a Grand Perfection was the darling of the heavens, possessing Willpower bestowed by talent.

Willpower was the most powerful tool in the Coiling Dragon universe; the enhancement of a Grand Perfection's Willpower placed them on a completely different level from ordinary Asuras.

Willpower to a Grand Perfection was like the Divine Domain to a Lowgod; even a super divine beast that was only one step away from Grand Perfection could not be a match for a Grand Perfection.

A super divine beast like Raystine, who had fused five profound mysteries and used both a Sovereign Artifact and Sovereign Power, still had no power to fight back when facing Bayer and Magnus.

Grand Perfection was the highest level of cultivation in the true sense of the Coiling Dragon universe, because Sovereigns relied on Willpower and their Sovereign Sparks; the Sovereign's own cultivation was actually not high.

Just like when Linley was injured by Magnus and Beibei asked if they could ask a Sovereign for help, Raystine replied directly that Sovereigns only had powerful Willpower, and if one were to compare only the profound mysteries of the laws, they might not necessarily be better than a Grand Perfection.
