The Center of Attention
"Outside the universe?" Regarding the strange experience that had just occurred in that brief moment, Rog decided to keep it all to himself. This secret absolutely could not be easily revealed, otherwise those Sovereign, especially madmen like Orloff, would probably go completely insane.
"This Bronze Door, this treasure, can't actually take you to any world; it only provides a special environment for now." Rog had already studied this special treasure he obtained from that mysterious visitor.
He discovered that even with this treasure, he couldn't actually go to any new worlds; for now, it could only be used as a protective artifact.
"Besides that, although the level of his inheritance isn't high, some of the things within it can indeed be of some help to me." In that special environment, Rog lost all the profound mysteries of the Profound Mysteries of the Laws had mastered and could only fight by relying on his own divine power and soul power.
Fortunately, he was Three-Element Soul Mutator. Whether he directly crushed his opponent with a powerful soul attack or used the Sovereign’s Might to fight, his basic strength was already strong enough to easily kill his opponent. If it were an ordinary Highgod, he might really have been tricked to death by that guy.
"The duel with Gunther is about to begin. In this short time, I have very limited ways to quickly improve my strength, so I'll try this physical enhancement method first." The reason why Balai was able to perform well in that special environment was simply because his cultivation system was more 'universal' and he was less suppressed.
His cultivation method wasn't actually that profound. Any Lowgod could easily learn the first three stages, and the later stages were more than enough for Rog at his current level.
"Let's begin!" Soon, Rog himself began to temper his physical body with the help of the Divine Clone avatar. The only limitation of this cultivation method is that a physical body is required as a carrier; the divine body of the Divine Clone is simply a condensation of divine power and cannot be used for cultivation.
"Hmm? It's actually feasible? Is this what they call cultivating other cultivation systems simultaneously? It certainly has its merits." In the Coiling Dragon World, although the general environment focuses on comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the Laws, it's not entirely impossible to improve one's physical body.
Divine Beast like the God-Eater Rat and the Six-Armed Demon Ape can continuously modify and strengthen their physical bodies by relying on their unique Divine Beast Bloodline and other special substances.
The way Rog is strengthening his physical body is essentially the same as theirs, except that he no longer needs to rely on the Divine Beast Essence Blood.
"The first three chapters are easy; anyone below the level of a god can cultivate them. The last three chapters should be the corresponding chapters for gods." Rog continued to strengthen his physical body, and even began to absorb ' Divine Crystal ' to replenish the resources needed for cultivation.
"Hmm? As expected, in the end, that's all it achieved?" If it were just an ordinary Highgod, reaching this level of physical strength would be incredibly impressive. But for Rog is already pursuing the Paragon the Lightning Law, this level of physical strength is barely noticeable in terms of improving his power.
After all, at his current level, unless his physical strength reaches a level comparable to that of Sovereign Artifact, any improvement in strength is negligible.
"We can only try this second method." Soon, three hundred years passed, and Rog had long since returned to the Infernal Realm, awaiting Gunther's arrival.
Infernal Realm three million miles Tianhua City.
The Sarnoki Mountain Range.
The crimson sun hung high, its intense brilliance completely obscured by the few dark clouds. A flash of lightning suddenly appeared across the sky, and then—in the south, a blinding bolt of lightning swiftly struck the highest peak of the Sarnoki Mountain Range!
"Huh? When!"
"Wow, so fast! What happened so quickly?"
"That looks like... a person?"
Although this duel hasn't started yet...
However, many powerful figures had already established a residence near this mountain range, precisely so they wouldn't miss this duel. Yet, despite so many eyes watching, not a single one of them clearly saw the movements of the newcomer! "He is Lord Gunther from the Divine Lightning Plane!" The many long-waiting spectators instantly became eager in their eyes.
"Is that Gunther? His reputation is well-deserved. I simply can't keep up with his speed." Some young Commander had only heard of Gunther were also staring intently at him.
Putting everything else aside, their speed upon entering the scene alone was beyond their reach. The opponent's speed was simply too extraordinary. Although the Laws of Lightning was indeed very adept at speed teleportation, there were no fewer than ten Lightning Asura experts present. They asked themselves honestly that they could never achieve such extreme speed.
"Could it be that this Gunther is truly at the Paragon?" This thought couldn't help but arise in the minds of many powerful individuals. There was no way around it; such a huge gap was difficult to explain using other common sense.
Under the watchful eyes of countless powerful figures, Gunther sat cross-legged in the air atop the mountain peak, expressionless. He was like a thunderbolt gathering power, waiting for the moment to explode!
Seeing Gunther completely ignoring the gazes of the many powerful figures, the others also began to anticipate the arrival of another person. Only when both protagonists participating in the duel were present could this grand drama officially begin.
"That Lord of Tianhua Prefecture, Rog, and I had a sparring match in the Aoqi Plane. With his strength, this duel will probably be difficult." Although Rog has not had many public battles since becoming Prefect, many Commander who went on the last expedition are not unfamiliar with him.
"His strength is only at the top level of Asura. It's hard to say whether he can defeat a powerful Sovereign's Emissary." Based on the strength that Rog has shown in the past, almost all the powerful people who know some of the inside story are not very optimistic about him.
"That Rog actually dared to provoke Gunther. Even I wouldn't dare to mess with him." Somewhere in the Sarnoki Mountain Range, two strikingly beautiful witches were also watching this duel.
"Sister Daphne, is Gunther really that powerful?" Claire asked, somewhat puzzled. In her opinion, Rog's strength was already very high; he shouldn't be too far behind even a Peak Asura.
"Heh, his strength is such that only my eldest sister can easily handle him. Even I can barely survive." Daphne was one of the few who knew Gunther's strength. If it weren't for the protection of her azure armor, she would probably have perished when she encountered him on the Planar Battlefield last time.
Gunther's strength is indeed unmatched.
"They've already arrived?" After receiving the news, Rog didn't hesitate for long and headed straight for the Sarnoki Mountain Range.
During this period, his strength has finally improved significantly, and he may not lose this duel.
With a confident mind, Rog transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly unleashing unprecedented speed as he hurtled towards the Sarnoki Mountain Range.
In the distance, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, suddenly—
A flash of light seemed to appear in the Void, but everyone only saw it briefly before their eyes and couldn't see it clearly.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure dressed in purple robes had also arrived in the Void atop the mountain, standing opposite Gunther, who was dressed in a yellow outfit. Both of them sensed each other's intense fighting spirit, and two astonishing auras were surging and brewing, confronting each other!
"What!"
"This?"
Rog's appearance instantly stunned everyone present!
If Gunther's appearance was so sudden that they didn't notice him due to their momentary carelessness, then Rog's arrival was completely under everyone's watchful eyes. Even so, they didn't see his movement clearly as he approached; they only vaguely sensed an unusual light before he was already opposite Gunther.
"This kid is getting more and more unpredictable." Aiken, who was hidden in the crowd and whose figure was completely inconspicuous, suddenly narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it was too early to discuss the outcome of this duel.
