Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 524 - 507: Tactics

Celestial Bone City, Monitoring Room.

He Pengfei looked at the trial takers inside and outside the purple mist.

Whether human, demon, or giant dragon, or other races, everyone’s eyes were filled with intense red light.

A strange emotion was growing in the hearts of all the trial takers.

The tempers of the trial takers from various races were becoming increasingly irritable, and conflicts were intensifying.

"How many people will remain this time?"

The most dangerous period of the Remnant Celestial Bone Trial had finally arrived.

He Pengfei still remembered when he entered the Remnant Celestial Bone Trial, he initially thought it was very safe.

But after that bloody night, only five people remained.

"However..."

He turned his head to look at Zhou Leng, who was at the nine-thousand-step stage, his forehead evidently covered by bones, but slightly twisted as if frowning.

The strength needed to make bones frown was considerable.

"Is he really a human from Blue Star?"

He Pengfei leaned forward slightly, carefully observing this young man who was entering the Divine Power Land in an unprecedented way.

On the surface, Divine Power Land seemed like an ordinary dual trial of body and will.

In reality, Divine Power Land was filled with various strange cosmic forces.

As long as one passed six thousand steps, they met the basic requirement, passing seven thousand steps meant officially completing the trial.

If one progressed too quickly in the front, they would continuously see denser purple mist.

As for the final nine-thousand-step stage, it was a common final place in the starry sky trials.

It no longer belonged to an elementary civilization’s trial; even in a high-level civilization, only the strongest batch of trial takers could break through.

In high-level civilizations, anyone who could pass the final land was closely watched by the "Ascension to Divinity Great Ring" and granted the title of "Divine Communicator."

The great battlefield had remained here for unknown billions of years, and beings from all worlds kept entering.

Among the elementary civilization’s beings, less than a hundred reached the final land.

Only three successfully emerged from the final land.

One of them finally ascended to the position of a deity, bearing the divine ring, becoming a model for all Celestial Bone Warriors.

However, of the three successful trial takers, none were human; all were powerful alien races, even stronger than giants and giant dragons.

Humans at the innate stage were still not strong enough.

Many beings were either strong in spiritual will or physical body, but there were almost no races that excelled in both.

The most elite giant dragons or giants’ bodies could withstand the impact of final land meteor strikes, but rarely could they endure the willpower impact.

Or rather, they couldn’t withstand the implicit divine spirit pressure.

The massive divine spirit shadow in the final land was not just for show.

In elementary civilizations, only a handful of physically strong races might mutate into individuals with strong spiritual will, allowing them to pass the final land.

He Pengfei frowned tighter because that peculiar young martial artist inside seemed to have a chance of passing the final land.

However, the method of passing seemed a bit treacherous; even in high-level civilizations, trial takers didn’t use similar methods to pass.

Final Land.

Thanks to continuous attempts and improvements, before reaching the nine-thousand-four-hundred steps, Zhou Leng’s body no longer showed wounds.

There were only slight bruises under the skin, but they healed quickly.

As for the spiritual meteors, they couldn’t shake the repeatedly tempered martial arts will.

The Mountain of Will was already nourished by various powers, but the growth of spiritual will was too slow. Zhou Leng was not a Demon Spirit Master, so he could only endure patiently.

It was just that the continuous meteor strikes completely activated all the powers.

Now, the Mountain of Will had absorbed all the spiritual power.

On the Mountain of Will, aside from the floating pyramid-shaped starry sky demon spirit, other powers had been absorbed.

Leaving only the Sea Suppression Fragment Map and other things unrelated to willpower.

After reaching nine-thousand-four-hundred steps, when the meteor struck his body, wounds started to appear.

Healed in five seconds.

One meteor every ten seconds, roughly equivalent to no injury.

Nine-thousand-five-hundred steps, nine-thousand-six-hundred steps...

Upon reaching nine-thousand-eight-hundred-and-one steps, the divine ring behind the divine spirit giant shadow slightly glowed.

The divine spirit aura infused into a meteor.

The basketball-court-sized meteor pierced through the sky, carrying destructive power, and struck down.

Zhou Leng felt this power, and an indescribable sense of insignificance rose in his heart.

At this moment, everything between heaven and earth, all beings and spirits, throughout ages, everything was conveying one message.

Death.

The god decreed the heavenly order.

Boom!

With a loud blast, Zhou Leng was smashed into a burning pit, his entire body torn apart, fainting abruptly.

However, in the next second, several times the previous body recovery strength appeared, and his whole body’s flesh seemed like a monster, rapidly merging and healing.

In less than ten seconds, his entire body’s flesh was glued by the power of the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique, and one could even see the irregular adhesion inside.

The body remained intact.

The martial arts will withstood the meteor’s impact once again.

But his brain was already unconscious from the massive impact, and his consciousness was completely comatose.

Body and martial arts will persisted.

According to the rules of the Divine Power Trial, Zhou Leng was lifted by an invisible force, his body involuntarily walking forward.

During the journey, the power of the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique continuously repaired his body.

Even though it wasn’t as fast as active power operation, it was still strong enough.

After ten more steps, a new meteor containing divine spirit power struck down.

Zhou Leng collapsed in response, but this time, there was no change in his facial expression.

Because he had already fainted.

Martial Arts Will remains, indicating survival.

His physical body is rapidly repaired, indicating survival.

Thus, the power of the Divine Power Trial carried the unconscious body of Zhou Leng forward once again.

Ten steps, boom, collapse, repair, stand up, walk ten more steps, and encounter another meteor...

Nine thousand nine hundred and one steps, a meteor the size of a football field fell.

It descended like a world-destroying disaster, booming down.

Zhou Leng’s body was bloody and gory, with parts of his flesh completely evaporated.

However, the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique had reached the realm of two thousand feathers, boasting a terrifying blood-producing ability.

Dense strands of red flesh emerged, hooking all the flesh and skin back in place, forcibly binding them together.

After ten seconds, Zhou Leng stood up stiffly like a stitched-up zombie, pushed forward by the power of the Divine Power Trial.

His eyes were open, but there was no light in his pupils.

No, in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a faint, elusive glimmer.

Like the red glow on a candle wick after extinguishing, as if it could reignite at any moment.

He Pengfei in the monitoring room was dumbfounded; it was the first time he had seen such a trial method.

The person was unconscious, but the body continued to move forward.

What kind of tactic was this, a tactic of moving like a walking corpse?

If you say it’s cheating, it’s not; the body is there, and the Martial Arts Will is firm.

If you say it’s not cheating, but the consciousness is gone, is it just moving pork?

Suddenly, He Pengfei squinted his eyes, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Because Zhou Leng’s aura underwent a subtle change.

The body was alive, the will existed, but the consciousness was gone, deemed dead by the Martial Arts Will.

Thus, the entire Martial Arts Will entered the legendary ’One Step Reincarnation’ state.

One step on the path of reincarnation, one step in the real world.

In this state, a person’s consciousness was almost nonexistent, entering an absolute void.

For ordinary people, in this state, there is a one hundred percent chance of death.

A false death would turn into a real death.

But Zhou Leng was a Martial Artist.

A Martial Artist with independent conviction.

This resulted in the survival force of the Martial Arts Will being completely triggered.

He Pengfei seemed to see Zhou Leng’s corpse-like body emanate a faint flame.

Gentle, soft, yet full of life force.

One Step Reincarnation, seeking life from death.

As if a hand touched the edge of the divine ring.

From this point on, the Martial Arts Will was never the same.

The meteors continued to crash, Zhou Leng continued to collapse, stand up, collapse again, stand up again...

Ultimately, the Divine Power Trial carried Zhou Leng through the final ground, through the purple mist.

Zhou Leng fell straight to the ground, passing out.

Without the suppression of the Divine Power Land, more power from the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique surged out for more comprehensive repair.

"This little freak..."

On Blue Star, He Pengfei was one of the most outstanding Great Innate, and after becoming a Celestial Bone Warrior, he had fought in countless battles across myriad world tribes and seen countless heroes, but had never seen anyone like Zhou Leng.

To say he’s cunning, not quite, as this was risking his life, a sinister and treacherous person would never dare to torment his body like this.

To say he’s fearless, also not quite, as using unconsciousness to pass the trial seemed somewhat eerie.

He Pengfei walked out of the monitoring room, stepped out, ran at supersonic speed to the edge of the purple mist, looking at Zhou Leng lying on the ground.

Such heavy injuries, even a Giant Dragon would have died.

Yet, in such a short time, his body had mostly recovered, though with many hidden injuries.

He Pengfei murmured to himself, "I hoped for a genius from Dragon Country, but I didn’t hope for a freak."

He lifted Zhou Leng by the nape, looked at him.

Younger than expected, and only at the Muscle Stage, definitely not a member of the Ten Thousand Lamps Project.

From the attitude of those Martial Artists, it’s also clear that this Zhou Leng was not particularly famous among humans; he’s a buried talent.

He Pengfei sniffed lightly, the reason was obvious.

He carried Zhou Leng, other Celestial Bone Warriors curiously inquiring, He Pengfei only said it was the order of the adults, and the others dared not ask more.

However, some in the Alien Race looked at Zhou Leng, with a hint of admiration in their crazed gaze.

Would it be nice if someone from their own race could also pass the final ground?

He Pengfei took Zhou Leng back to his residence, threw him on the sofa, and sat on the opposite sofa.

After a while, he snorted lightly, took out a round chunk of meat from his space bone bracelet.

The chunk of meat was entirely blood red, with many small tentacles on the surface, wriggling gently, like a living creature.

The life force emitted by this small piece was equivalent to the same volume of the Ancient Heart of Life.

Even in Celestial Bone City, its value was exceedingly high.

He Pengfei pried open Zhou Leng’s mouth, stuffed the blood clump inside, then manipulated the qi down.

The surging Life Force exploded, with the power of Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique running at high speed.

He Pengfei was puzzled, this guy’s cultivation technique was so strange, seemingly better than anything he had accessed in the Celestial Bone Army.

Such level of cultivation technique could only be gained upon entering the Mad God Army.

After a full day and night, Zhou Leng, lying on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes.
