Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 514: Breaking Through

"We... won..."

Netherlord heard Cang Ruoxi's voice echoing in his ears. It now seemed to carry traces of the passage of time.

At this moment, he finally understood the whole truth.

He looked at Su Yun. "Are we... already dead?"

This woman had always held a special meaning. But now, it no longer mattered.

He turned around and smiled at her.

Su Yun did not understand why, but she also felt genuinely happy and joyful seeing his smile.

The Netherlord said nothing, opened his arms, and embraced her.

Just like how Li Pin was holding Cang Ruoxi at that moment.

The world trembled incessantly with the descent of the will of the Astral God Mara, which was beginning to collapse. The countless beings living within this world also began to collapse. It was like a dream that had just been awakened, abruptly vanishing.

Everything fell apart—the people, the sky, the earth, the world.

From the furthest Mortal Domain to the Celestial Barren Domain, then to the Divine City between the Celestial Barren Domain and the Moon Demon Domain, and even the entire Moon Demon Domain... it all crumbled. The Netherlord's Divine Kingdom and the many beings within it as well.

Everything was vanishing.

The Netherlord quietly experienced this tranquility and warmth.

Soon, Su Yuqing completely dissipated, and it became Su Yun's turn. Only then did the Netherlord reluctantly turn his head to look at Li Pin.

From the depths of his heart, he uttered two words. "Thank you."

Li Pin looked up and returned a smile.

The next moment, the Netherlord's voice, along with his figure, completely dissipated and returned to nothingness.

When Cang Ruoxi, who was in front of Li Pin, also disappeared, everything in the Mortal Domain, the Celestial Barren Domain, and the Moon Demon Domain rapidly dissolved. Their energy was infused into various divine equipment and wondrous objects.

The Three Domains reverted to the Mara World's most primordial form. Or rather, they reverted to the form of a piece of the Astral World Fragment—a stretch of desolate white and nothingness.

A powerful will descended from the heavens.

In front of Li Pin appeared a woman who seemed to be in her early twenties, exuding an inexplicable aura of coldness.

She did not turn around, and Li Pin could not see her appearance.

Of course, he could sense it, but he did not do so. He simply stared silently at the back of this woman.

At that moment, the woman spoke. "It turns out that the Supreme Demonic Sword is not invincible. What I truly could not defeat were the guilt, resentment, and helplessness in my own heart."

Li Pin knew her identity, but he did not know how to respond, so he could only wait in silence.

The woman did not say anything more. After an unknown amount of time, she finally said with relief, "It's all over."

She still did not turn around, but an invisible force began to grow within Li Pin, making his connection to the already erased Astral World Fragment increasingly clear. He felt like all it would take was a thought, and the Astral World Fragment would merge into his Inner World, becoming one.

"I'll entrust these to you," said the woman.

After saying this, the woman's figure seemed to transform into a dense radiance. Carrying a trace of longing and attaching herself to objects, she dissipated between heaven and earth.

The moment her figure dissipated, the Astral World Fragment began to contract and condense at an incredible speed.

Having sensed these changes, Li Pin opened his Inner World without hesitation. In an instant, the contracting Astral World Fragment surged into his expanded Inner World. Three light spots, carrying a wealth of information, accompanied it.

The Inner World had only existed in Li Pin's senses, but the moment the Astral World Fragment surged into it, it gained a tangible carrier. It was as if a nebula that previously existed only in a gaseous state had suddenly condensed and transformed into a celestial body.

However, this celestial body was quite heavy for him. In his current state, Li Pin could not fully manifest it.

"Divinity," Li Pin muttered.

At this moment, he could truly be considered a genuine Divine Being—not an infantile Divine Being but a truly mature one.

He was like a giant python that had just overeaten and was temporarily unable to move.

However, this was not a significant problem.

Li Pin could sense that among the three light spots within the Astral World Fragment was the greatest treasure of the Mara World—the Supreme Demonic Sword.

Another light spot was the World Heart, which had nurtured the Moon Goddess's soul. The last was the Immortal Staff, a treasure that originally belonged to the Netherlord.

He had obtained three Divine Weapons.

Li Pin was about to determine the exact grades of these three weapons when his thoughts were interrupted. Under the influence of Astral God Mara's power, the structural framework supporting the Mara World dissipated as the Astral World Fragment was refined, causing the entire world to plunge rapidly!

Everyone fell into a state akin to weightlessness, losing their perception of direction, time, matter, and energy.

Li Pin knew that this signified their departure from the Mara World. They were about to return to reality.

This sense of plunging and weightlessness lasted for several minutes, during which colors gradually replaced the desolate whiteness and nothingness. An endless starry sky, accompanied by ripples like water waves, appeared before everyone. Looking down, they could see the increasingly distinct ground below, as well as numerous towering pillars reaching into the clouds, resembling colossal towers.

This was... the Divine Treasury Gate.

As the final ripple exploded abruptly, dispersing like a shockwave across the planet and sweeping rapidly in all directions, the barrier between the Mara World and the real world was finally broken.

Li Pin once again felt the sensation of being firmly grounded. Moreover, the fog that had obscured his Natal Planet, mental spirit power, and inner spirit power suddenly dissipated, making the world clear once again.

Soon after Li Pin confirmed he had returned to the real world, an intense commotion erupted around him.

"We're back? I—I'm back!?"

"The Mara Divine Treasury Hall? Is this the Mara Divine Treasury Hall? I actually made it out alive?"

"This divine treasure world was actually conquered? Who did it!?"

"Damn it, how did the divine treasure world suddenly get conquered? I couldn't become a God King in this cycle. I didn't get a single Divine Weapon! I spent fifty-four cycles in there! Fifty-four stellar years! I walked out with nothing after all those years?!"

These were all the pioneers who had been trapped in the Mara World. There were over ten thousand of them.

Over ten thousand pioneers gathered together, their voices and mental spirit waves constantly interacting and converging, creating a commotion that resembled a marketplace, plunging the scene into chaos. Fortunately, conquering and falling of the divine treasure world usually took several minutes.

These few minutes were enough for the higher-ups of the Mara Divine Treasury Hall to react. By this time, many people had already arrived at the scene outside the Divine Treasury Gate.

Above the Divine Treasury Gate, a powerful spiritual will swept through every corner of the scene like a storm. "Silence!"

It was Astral God Mi Meng!

This single Astral God carried immense authority over the numerous Pioneers in the scene, including the unruly Gold Pioneers.

The various discussions and commotion quickly subsided. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Congratulations on successfully breaking the Mara Divine Treasure World. Next, please leave in an orderly manner and return to your respective residences. Someone will approach you later to understand the specific circumstances of the divine treasure world. During this time, please do not leave the range of the Mara Divine Treasury Hall. Otherwise, if any misunderstandings arise, do not blame me for being unsympathetic."

Astral God Mi Meng's mental will echoed in the void.

"Additionally, within the divine treasure world, all pioneers were allowed to act for their respective interests and means. I do not wish to see grievances from the divine treasure world brought back here. If anyone disobeys and causes trouble, the Mara Divine Treasury Hall will show no mercy."

After these words, the other pioneers quickly regained their composure. Although they all wanted to know who had conquered the Mara World, they dared not act rashly in the presence of the Astral God Mi Meng.

Those Legends who had long wished to leave the Mara World immediately separated from the crowd and departed from the area around the Divine Treasury Gate.

The remaining individuals were eager to gather information, but due to their limited means, they could only retreat regretfully.

Li Pin was among this group.

However, as he moved with the crowd to leave the scene, he keenly noticed many gazes focused on him.

These individuals were essentially divided into two factions. One group, led by Fang Chunyang and a few others, had gratitude in their eyes. However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they made no gestures of acknowledgment.

Every individual who conquered the treasure world was the greatest beneficiary of this treasure, and concealing one's identity was a basic precaution to ensure safety.

Fang Chunyang and the others naturally would not repay kindness with enmity at this moment.

The other group belonged to Long Ying, Bai Lu, and their companions. Their gazes appeared somewhat cold and stern as they watched Li Pin. The Gold Pioneer, Long Ying, appeared especially resentful. His heart was filled with unwillingness.

However, with Astral God Mi Meng's presence, Long Ying didn't dare let anything show. He could only firmly remember Li Pin's aura to ensure he could identify him at any point, no matter the disguise he adopted.

Li Pin pierced through the air and quickly arrived at the mountain peak where he resided.

He had lived on this mountain for a stellar year. That was longer than his time inside the Mara Divine Treasure World.

Who could have imagined that he would break through this Divine Treasure World in the second phase of the first cycle?

Such efficiency was terrifying.

It could only be described as a fortuitous coincidence.

Li Pin arrived at his mountain peak and immediately entered his cultivation chamber.

Then, he immersed his Spiritual Power into the Astral World Fragment.

"The foundation of Divinity..." muttered Li Pin.

Feeling the special space perfectly aligned with his Inner World, Li Pin sighed with emotion.

Through this Astral World Fragment, he vaguely sensed an even more vast and majestic mysterious world.

"The Astral World...."

Li Pin didn't need to guess what this was. It was the Astral World! The ultimate foundation of the Astral Cultivator system! The only path to achieving eternal immortality! The source of the universe's creation and destruction!

However, Li Pin's Astral World Fragment was currently too far from the vast and mysterious Astral World. His current strength was too weak to bring the fragment closer. Naturally, he couldn't merge or embed it within to become an Astral God through the path of divinity.

But this was normal. The essence of Divinity was no different from that of a peak Demigod. To ascend in one step and gain immense power while merging an Astral World Fragment into the Astral World to achieve Astral God Avatar was far more challenging than reaching Tier Six Legend.

It was like sending a person into space versus sending a space station into space, the required energy was on entirely different levels.

After sensing the Astral World for a moment, Li Pin quickly turned his attention to the three points of light within the Astral World Fragment formed by the Mara world.

To be precise, he was looking at the most dazzling point of light—the Supreme Demonic Sword, the number one divine equipment of the Three Domains.
