Relevant information surfaced in Ning Chuan's mind.
Once the Divine Martial Stele is activated, two pathways to the secret realm will appear.
One type is the ordinary passage.
There is no limit to the number of people; anyone can enter.
Another type is a special passage, similar to the teleportation array in the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Secret Realm.
After passing through, a surge of energy within the body resonates with the Law and Force received in the secret realm, alleviating the suppression by about 30%.
This is a huge advantage.
Two equally matched individuals enter the Divine Martial Stele. One takes the ordinary passage, while the other uses a special passage. The latter is able to eliminate the former in a short time!
However, there is a limit to the number of special channels.
There are only forty-nine.
One person is allowed per seat.
That means 49 people are able to use the special passage.
Not a small amount.
In the past, when the Divine Martial Stele was opened, Divine General at the third or Fourth Heaven could basically secure a spot.
But this time...
" The Federal Government, the Alien Council, and the Holy Heaven Alliance of the Heavenly Martial Realm, among other official forces, will reserve all forty-nine special passages!"
Ning Chuan was certain.
Sure enough, the next moment, Elder Nie's words confirmed his guess.
"The quotas for Martial Star and Heavenly Martial Realm have been allocated. Heavenly Martial Realm has been allocated twenty-five special passages, while the remaining twenty-four belong to Martial Star. The Federation's goal is to acquire sixteen of them."
"Two-thirds of the spots are not easy to secure."
"You and the Haotian Knight are now on par with the Heavenly King. With the Federation's overall strength increasing, there is still some hope!"
As the conversation continued, the Heavenly River continued its journey.
Half a day later, they arrived at Heaven Suppression City No. 9.
It's also a coastal city, almost identical to Heaven-Suppressing City No. 1, with a typical military base construction style.
Because it is closest to the Divine Martial Stele, the city is now overcrowded with people, mostly Martial Artist and Knight who have come from all over the country, hoping to get a share of the spoils.
Many beaches on the outskirts of the city are filled with all kinds of aircraft.
"A spaceship of Heavenly King highest caliber! A very important person has arrived!"
Many people looked up at the sky.
"It's the Heavenly River, and the person who came is Ning Chuan!"
"Such geniuses are truly well-treated. If the Federation seizes the inheritance of the Dao lineage, he will definitely get a share!"
"Stop being so sour. Even if you had his talent, the alien races would still treat you the same way!"
The noise was deafening, and the discussions were incessant.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the Heavenly River opened its hatch, and three figures flew out.
Ning Chuan and Elder Nie were suspended high in the sky.
Lu Zhan forward alone, surrounded by jet-black flames that burned fiercely, like a blazing sun in the sky, its power surging wildly!
" Lin Fengyang, come out!"
A chilling, earth-shattering shout resounded clearly throughout Heaven Suppression City No. 9!
Countless humans and aliens exchanged glances, then became excited.
Someone wants to challenge the Heavenly King?!
"Who is this formidable figure? I've never seen anything like him before!"
Many voices of doubt arose.
Lu Zhan has been silent for eighteen years, and most of his former fame has been buried in the annals of history, with many young people having never even heard of him.
They were completely Momo among the other races.
However, some elderly people were still able to recognize it.
"It's Lu Zhan! His title is Haotian, and he was originally ranked first on the Knight Rankings, but was later pushed down by Ning Chuan!"
A Knight informed the crowd, which caused a huge commotion.
"A Knight? Challenging the Heavenly King? Are you crazy?!"
"Perhaps he has been promoted to Divine General?"
"Even Divine General wouldn't suffice; without reaching the peak of the Fifth Heaven, how could they possibly contend with Heavenly King!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, unable to comprehend it.
The news of Ning Chuan's victory in the battle that crowned him the Heavenly King had not yet spread throughout the North Sea Domain.
Especially in Heaven Suppression City No. 9.
Most of the people in the city have been here for some time.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a figure in icy blue leaped out of the low-lying city and soared into the sky.
It was Lin Fengyang!
His long hair danced wildly as he stared coldly at Lu Zhan. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ning Chuan behind him, and his gaze grew even more somber.
" Lu Zhan, who allowed you to enter the North Sea Domain? You are blatantly defying my orders. I can kill you on the spot!"
"Let's fight!"
Lu Zhan's response was concise and efficient!
"You?"
Lin Fengyang stood with his hands behind his back, scoffed, and said, "Do you really think you can act recklessly just because you've latched onto a junior? Once turbulent times arrive, your so-called status will be nothing but a joke!"
He was making a pointed remark, while simultaneously satirizing Lu Zhan and Ning Chuan.
Lu Zhan remained expressionless and said nothing more.
At the same time, a black sun formed like lightning above him, obscuring the Firmament and heading straight for Lin Fengyang.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Lin Fengyang said with a sneer.
He was very arrogant, keeping his hands behind his back without raising them.
Wow!
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept through the sky, and countless ice crystals, composed of Force and Law, fell with unparalleled speed, surging towards the black sun that stretched across the sky.
Upon contact, the first ice crystals to fall instantly vaporized and disappeared due to the scorching temperature!
However, the ice crystals kept flowing in, like an inverted ocean, surging one after another.
A moment later, the black sun was frozen in mid-air!
"This is the Destruction Heavenly Art you're so proud of? It's pathetically weak! You even dared to defy the King's orders and attack the Heavenly King. Today, I will destroy you as a warning to others!"
Lin Fengyang's killing intent was palpable.
Lu Zhan remained silent in the face of Lin Fengyang's words.
However, he took a step out into the air.
The next moment.
boom!
A terrifying wave swept out from Lu Zhan's body, death intertwined with Destruction, breathtaking and terrifying, as if it would tear the entire sky apart.
Below, in the North Sea, towering waves reached thousands of meters high!
The buildings on the island were illuminated by beams of light that spread like lightning, covering the entire island!
That's an energy defense shield.
The entire defense system of Heaven Suppression City No. 9 was activated.
What's going on?!
Many people were terrified and confused.
Only a few Knight and Divine General noticed something amiss, which only made them more shocked.
"Could I be mistaken? The commotion caused by the advancement of the Mystic Truth Law is this huge?!"
"What kind of Law is this?!"
Even Third-Grade Law wouldn't have the power it possesses now!
"Brother, have you ever witnessed the Third-Grade Law?"
No, I was just guessing!
The city was in an uproar, with discussions rising and falling.
A look of surprise appeared in Ning Chuan's eyes.
Uncle Lu has actually been promoted to Divine General?!
According to Master Lou's prediction that day, even if the Martial Star were to recover, Lu Zhan would still have a hard time succeeding. But now, without any external force, Lu Zhan comprehended the Law on his own!
At the same time, a barrage of notification sounds echoed in Ning Chuan's mind.
" The Destruction Heavenly Art sensed the Annihilation Law, analyzed it again, entered a state of enlightenment, and its cultivation speed skyrocketed!"
"Progress increased by 10%!"
"Progress increased by 10%!"
"The enlightenment from the Destruction Heavenly Art has ended; cultivation speed has returned to normal."
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he realized something, and he immediately summoned the system panel.
One of the columns.
[ Destruction Heavenly Art ]: Perfection (70% progress)
We're not far from grasping the Mystic Truth!
The progress of Destruction Heavenly Art was originally only around 30%.
This time, the enlightenment was more than doubled.
However, based on Ning Chuan's previous experience of enlightenment, First-Heaven Divine General uses Law, it usually only increases the progress of martial arts at the Perfect Realm by about 10%!
Ning Chuan shifted his gaze to Lu Zhan's retreating figure.
" Uncle Lu's breakthrough seems to be more than just a simple feat!"
