He arrived at the eight-trigram realm containing the Thirty-Three Layered Treasure Tower, where the Eight Desolations Human Race sensed their god’s arrival and their Divine Tower’s true master.

A youth of the Dragon God Yuan Clan sent three Eleventh Order Dao Severing Realm descendants into a special passage to seek the Divine Court Treasure and ordered them to kill any Deities they encountered. Inside the Eight Desolations Land, Li Yue found more than a thousand strands of heavenly essence above a lake in the Qian trigram region.

• The Dragon God Yuan Clan ancestor explained that the special passage had opened and sent two women and one man to seek the legendary Divine Court Treasure, ordering them to kill any Deities they met.

• Two women and a man near the Thirty-Three Layered Treasure Tower resolved to kill the Deity and use his aura to destroy his Divine Domain.

• Three Eleventh Order Dao Severing Realm Venerables approached the golden radiance, eager to humiliate and kill the god they believed had betrayed their ancestor.
• The young Fate Overseer used the Thirty-Three Layered Treasure Tower’s power to shield the Eight Desolations Human Race from the trio’s freezing aura, and she and the old chieftain knelt to pray to Li Yue.
• Li Yue recognized the attackers as descendants of a Deity Betrayer and noted that they cultivated martial arts despite their faint traces of divine blood.
• Ziyuan and the other two descendants sensed Li Yue’s Principal Seventh Rank Divine Rank and dismissed him as a weak god.
• Li Yue expanded his five-colored palm into a thousand-zhang Five-Finger Divine Mountain and crushed all three attackers to ash, then noticed the items they had left behind.

Li Yue defeated the three Deity Descendants and claimed their damaged vessels, gaining enough divine power to prepare for ascension to the Subordinate Sixth Divine Rank. He revealed himself as Zhang Yue to the Eight Desolations Human Race and promised to free them from their cage, while they offered to help him claim the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower.

Li Yue entered the trials of the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower after it responded to the Eight Desolations Human Race’s worship. He easily passed the first four trials with his Orthodox God Heavenly Eye, but the tower spirit Xi warned that the remaining trials demanded strength she believed no Deity could possess.

• Li Yue felt the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower’s immense power and reflected on the Human Emperors and their Deity enemies.

The final trial pitted him against a terrifying Twelfth Order Quasi-Emperor, but Li Yue declared he would claim the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower and prepared to use the Deity Will.

• The Graceful Woman summoned the Black Fire Dragon Qilin for the eighth trial, and Li Yue annihilated it with thirty bolts of Seven-Colored Lightning.

Li Yue discovered the first three heavens of the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower and used his power to bring more than a million Eight Desolations Human Race Believers out of the Eight Desolations Land. He returned to his Divine Domain with the treasure, while the seven beasts he left behind began to reveal powerful auras.

• The next day, one hundred thousand members of the Eight Desolations Human Race arrived to help, each at least at the fourth rank.
• A month later, Four Seas County’s expansion was complete, and it was about to become Four Seas Prefecture City.

• Dark clouds and thunder covered Li Yue’s jurisdiction, and a voice declared that those who defied the Heavenly Rules would be slain.
• An armored Heavenly Clan figure sent a gigantic blade crashing toward Li Yue’s Divine Domain, injuring powerful believers in Four Seas Prefecture City.
• Li Yue flicked out a five-colored finger that shattered the blade, then told the attacker it was too weak.

Li Yue completed his advancement to Subordinate Sixth Rank Divine Rank after defeating a Heavenly Clan member who tried to stop him under the Heavenly Rule. A month later, his Divine Body and Divine Path Law finished their Metamorphosis, and his Divine Seat advanced.

• After a month, Li Yue’s Divine Body and Divine Path Law completed their Metamorphosis, his Divine Rank broke through, and his Divine Seat advanced.

Li Yue advanced to Subordinate Sixth Rank, expanding his Divine Domain and jurisdiction across twelve prefectures and beyond Great Zhou. His new jurisdiction encompassed the forces besieging Great Zhou, including Shi Luo as he prepared to break through to the Eleventh Order.

• Li Yue discovered that his jurisdiction extended beyond Great Zhou and encompassed Shi Luo, the six great God-Slaying Clans’ experts, and the Bronze War Chariot’s occupants.

Li Yue confronted the forces attacking him and revealed power on the level of a Twelfth-Order Celestial Master, wiping out nearly every attacker. He then dragged the fleeing Shi Luo out of the earth to learn about the Earth Clan’s Derivative Realms.

• The God-Slaying Clan’s six experts and four Tenth-Order Demonic Creatures joined the Kui Ox envoy’s attack on Li Yue, while Shi Luo sensed danger and fled underground.
• Li Yue unleashed a Five-Colored Giant Hand that seized the attackers and displayed Twelfth-Order power.

• Li Yue pursued Shi Luo beyond the Zhu Yan Mountain Range, summoned Earth Vein Power, and pulled the Feng Shui Master from underground.

• Li Yue sold the spoils, filled his divine power reserves, and opened enough new Deity Pools to reach twelve.

After reaching Subordinate Sixth Rank, Li Yue assessed his upgraded Divine Techniques and the difficulty of advancing further. He received a quest to buy Heavens Secret Treasures and decided to leave some Demonic Creatures alive in the Twelve Prefectures to pressure the Human Race.

• Li Yue reviewed the thirty pools of divine power needed to advance to Principal Sixth Rank and noted how difficult it would be to gather that much.
