From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 989 - 570: Divine Rank Skill
After controlling the Black Crystal Demon Snake, Lu Heng had already assembled four divine rank beings and could achieve a stable trust balance.
It's usually difficult for Demon Gods to reach trust due to the struggle for divine power.
The four divine beings gathered by Lu Heng have achieved trust through a unique method.
In the perilous Demon God Battlefield, wielding the power of four gods forms the strongest divine rank team.
This means that from this moment on, they can hunt Demon Gods.
After dividing Hemog's divine power, Lu Heng proposed the next plan: "We can begin hunting Demon Gods. As long as there's a lone demon, or even if two demons act together, we can launch a challenge."
In the following time, Palm followed Lu Heng's plan to explore the Chaos Sea, searching for lone Abyss Demon Gods.
Once a solitary Abyss Demon God is discovered, they would use Law Power to trap it, then launch an attack and finally seize the divine power.
However, Abyss Demon Gods are also aware of the dangers of the Demon God Battlefield, so they often hide their whereabouts.
Therefore, the search process wasn't that easy.
Sometimes, they couldn't find traces of Abyss Demon Gods for days.
On the ninth day, the root-based law left by Palm was triggered, uncovering an Abyss Demon God.
It was a Hell Demon Beast, bearing terrifying tusks and claws.
Lu Heng, along with Palm, Dark Scale, and Black Crystal Demon Snake, joined forces to besiege this Abyss Demon God, dividing the divine power.
On the twenty-first day, Palm found two accompanying Abyss Demon Gods.
Since there were two Abyss Demon Gods together, and their divine power wasn't weak, they weren't easy to deal with.
This kind of hunting action cannot afford delays.
If delayed, other Abyss Demon Gods could be drawn, leading to a loss of control.
Moreover, during the hunt, injuries must be avoided; getting injured would turn hunters into prey.
Therefore, hunting Demon Gods requires an overwhelming advantage to swiftly kill the target.
After discussion, Lu Heng adopted a strategy to encircle one and let one go, trapping one of them and allowing the other to escape.
As expected, these two Abyss Demon Gods didn't have deep ties; upon realizing they were encircled by four divine ranks, they fled in dire straits.
The Abyss Demon God not trapped fled decisively, sending a signal to call other Abyss Demon Gods to gather.
Lu Heng's four gods joined forces to swiftly kill the trapped Abyss Demon God, then divided the divine power.
Once done, they immediately withdrew.
By the time other Abyss Demon Gods arrived, they only found the remains of the dead Demon God.
On the thirty-fifth day, Lu Heng's team once again collaborated to kill another Abyss Demon God.
However, from these few days onward, finding lone Abyss Demon Gods became increasingly difficult.
Because such demon-hunting actions had occurred four times, resulting in four dead Abyss Demon Gods.
This caused the power of the Abyss Camp to drop significantly, placing them at a disadvantage.
Remaining Abyss Demon Gods either hid or moved in groups, leaving no further chances for Lu Heng's group of four.
It wasn't just Lu Heng's assembled four Demon Gods; other summoned divine rank beings also joined in the hunt for Abyss Demon Gods.
As this escalated, success became even harder to achieve.
Although they didn't hunt any more Abyss Demon Gods, the situation had already reversed.
The number of Abyss Demon Gods became so small that it was difficult to pose a threat to the Naru Ascension Civilization's Space Barrier.
In fact, no Abyss Demon God dared to approach the Naru Ascension Civilization's Space Barrier.
As the situation continued to develop, staying in the Chaos Sea became meaningless for Abyss Demon Gods.
Thus, some Abyss Demon Gods started to quietly leave this Chaos Sea.
Lu Heng felt that the Abyss Battlefield was about to end, so he opened the Star Gate to teleport Su Muyu and the others over. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
He let them participate in the subsequent patrol and search missions.
By the sixty-eighth day, the summoning task [Expel Abyss Demon Gods] was completed.
Lu Heng gained a massive amount of divine energy and completed the world task, receiving a three-choice reward.
[1. Ignore Skill Level, elevate a skill to divine rank skill.]
[2. Gain divine power infusion, increase divine power.]
[3. Add two skill slots.]
Lu Heng didn't hesitate to choose the second reward, enhancing divine power, and his divine rank strength soared.
Although Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi'en were absent in the first half, they joined the Demon God Battlefield in the final stages.
They were part of the team with Lu Heng, all initially summoned.
Lu Heng used the Transmission Law to keep them on Blue Star.
In the latter part of the Demon God Battlefield, Lu Heng teleported them over and had them join patrol and search missions, even having a perception-level confrontation with an Abyss Demon God.
The summoning task's goal was to expel the Abyss Demon Gods besieging the Naru Ascension Civilization; it didn't require killing them.
Participation in the expulsion counted as task completion.
Otherwise, a demon like Palm, weak in attack, would never complete the task.
Therefore, Su Muyu and the others participated in patrol and reconnaissance tasks, naturally completing the summoning task and receiving the final reward.
The rewards from this Demon God Battlefield were very generous.
Especially the world task's third reward option, which directly added two skill slots.
This reward option seemed tempting, but compared to divine power infusion, skill slots were insignificant.
So, Lu Heng advised the three to all choose the divine power infusion.
Upon receiving the divine power infusion, Lin Zeyu and Xie Shi'en both gained divine power, meaning they had future opportunities to advance to demigods.
As for the world task's first reward option, it was to elevate a skill to divine rank skill without regard to level.
Lu Heng didn't need this reward; as long as there was enough Divine Energy, he could upgrade.
This time, he completed the Summoning Mission and obtained a massive amount of Divine Energy, just enough to upgrade his skills.
First, naturally, the Clone Skill needed to be upgraded.
With 30,000 Divine Energy, the Clone Skill was upgraded to the Divine Rank Skill [All Things Incarnation].
After upgrading, [All Things Incarnation] could inject Law Power into any substance, transforming it into a clone that carried the caster's intent, able to act independently even if the connection with the main body was severed.
Next, the [Damage Retrospection] skill was upgraded to the Divine Rank Skill [Invincible Golden Body], granting an almost invincible body at the moment of activation, even able to withstand attacks from Demon Gods.
...
With the completion of the Summoning Mission, the Chaos Sea where the Demon God Battlefield was located gradually returned to calm.
Lu Heng, along with three other Demon Gods, arrived outside the Space Barrier of the Naru Ascension Civilization, wanting to explore what lay within this world.
However, despite trying every method, they couldn't see what was inside the Space Barrier.
Throughout, the Naru Ascension Civilization gave no response.
Not only Lu Heng and his companions, but other summons of Divine Rank also explored the truth of the Naru Ascension Civilization to varying degrees.
Palm communicated with several others, and the results were the same; no one could see what lay behind the Space Barrier.
Lin Zeyu placed his hand on the Space Barrier, but he couldn't feel anything.
The matters concerning the Space Barrier were all spoken of by Lu Heng.
Because only those who mastered Law Power could see this layer of Space Barrier.
Even a Demigod couldn't observe it directly.
Su Muyu's Perception Ability was strong enough to barely sense that there was a peculiar space in this area.
Lin Zeyu waved his hand around but touched nothing, asking, "Lu Heng, why don't you try slashing with your sword? If you split open this bothersome Ascension Civilization with one stroke, you'll find out what's inside, won't you?"
Lu Heng had considered this extreme approach but felt that doing so might lead to serious consequences.
Su Muyu quickly glared at him and said, "If you really did that, and the Summoning Will issued another mission, summoning other Demon Gods to besiege us, you'd be delighted, wouldn't you."
Abyss Demon Gods besieged the Naru Ascension Civilization, resulting in the Summoning Will calling over seven or eight Divine Rank entities.
If Lu Heng really slashed the Space Barrier, it might result in exactly what Su Muyu said.
Besides, even after the attacks from many Abyss Demon Gods, they couldn't break this layer of Space Barrier. It would definitely be extremely difficult to break it with just one person's strength.
Lu Heng placed his palm on the Space Barrier and moved along its contour, as if caressing this barrier.
While moving, he tried to communicate with his spiritual power: "Is anyone there?"
No response.
Lu Heng tried many times, changed many positions, but there was never any response.
As time passed day by day, the summoned Divine Rank beings gradually departed.
Lu Heng's group of four could only return to Blue Star.
Palm returned to his Main World.
The Black Crystal Demon Snake, following Lu Heng's command, along with the Dark Scale, returned to the Dark World.
...
After this Demon God Battlefield, the Abyss Rules seemed not to change significantly.
Human Superpower Users would still be summoned to various worlds to confront the Abyssal Contamination.
Elves, the Sea Demon Clan, and Black Iron Dwarves continued to rise and fall in their confrontation with the Abyss.
Human civilization's technology entered a high-speed track, with technological leaps occurring rapidly.
When the civilization level rose to level 1.3, the first Mars spaceship reached its destination, dropped the base vehicle, and began constructing the Mars base.
With the help of Xavier Technology, the Mars base was entirely constructed by nanorobots, coordinated by a quantum computer, reaching a fully automated engineering standard.
...
Since the end of the Demon God Battlefield, Lu Heng had not been summoned again.
There was no summoning, for a simple reason.
Lu Heng acquired an immense total amount of Divine Power, rising to the ranks of a Strong God.
Ordinary Abyss Battlefields couldn't summon True Gods.
Thus, Lu Heng focused his efforts on clearing the Abyssal Contamination on Blue Star.
Other civilizations also experienced rapid rejuvenation, significantly enhancing their civilization power.
The Star Realm Merchant's research on Fluorescent Plants succeeded after more than a thousand control group experiments and over twenty generations of cultivation. Eventually, it was proven that the combination of Golden Trees and Fluorescent Vines could effectively retain fluorescent traits.
The Star Realm Merchant selected a world to massively plant Golden Trees and Fluorescent Vines, naming the world Second Home Star.
Thus, from that day, the Star Realm Merchant started the era of racial revival.
Lu Heng brought back the Golden Trees and Fluorescent Plants and handed them over to the Human Academy of Sciences to confirm that this plant combination had a certain blocking effect against Abyssal Contamination.
Subsequent small-scale plantings on Blue Star began to confirm the impact of alien plants on the local ecosystem.
...
A year and two months passed since the first Demon God Battlefield concluded.
Finally, an important piece of information emerged on this day.
The Abyss summoned the Abyss Demon Gods again to attack the Naru Ascension Civilization.
This information came from the Black Crystal Demon Snake, as it also received the Abyss Summoning.
Lu Heng teleported over to confirm the position of the Naru Ascension Civilization.
Just like more than a year ago, the position of the Naru Ascension Civilization remained unchanged.
This indicated that the Demon God Battlefield had appeared once more.
As expected, half a month later, Lu Heng was summoned again, with the same mission as last time, to repel the Abyss Demon Gods besieging the Naru Ascension Civilization.
