Chapter 877: The King of the Second Heaven and the Sea
Chapter 877: The King of the Second Heaven and the Sea
The First Dragon Divine Ship, the Central Temple.
Su Mo transformed into a terrifying giant god that was hundreds of millions of cosmic years tall. He sat cross-legged on a 108-grade dazzling golden lotus that had also expanded to a diameter of hundreds of millions of cosmic years. The pores on his body turned into countless devouring black holes, just like a greedy Taotie that madly devoured and refined the thousands of surging death dragons.
At the same time, new universes, like the stars in the sky, quickly took shape within his natal sea of universe, causing the number of universes to rapidly advance towards 300 trillion.
After nearly ninety-five million years of painstaking practice, Su Mo finally elevated his Yuan Dao Divine Body to the fifth level of perfection an hour ago.
......
An hour later.
The death energy that had been raging wildly within the surrounding tens of trillions of cosmic years gradually subsided like a tamed beast. The savage dragons of death also disintegrated into wisps of death energy, slowly drifting through the void of space. It was as if all the clamor had ended, returning to its original calm.
And in the First Dragon Divine Ship, as the 300 trillion universes were completely formed, Su Mo's cultivation successfully stabilized at the realm of the King of the Sea of the Universe, which was the sixth level of perfection.
"If all my illusory bodies were to come out now, along with 1,200 Hongmeng Divine Flags, I would be able to fight against a late-stage Eighth Heaven Realm King, or even a peak-level King of the Universe Sea."
Feeling the surging power in his body, Su Mo couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. Over the past ninety-five million years, with the help of the Duobao Divine Clan, the other six eight-star high-level Divine Clans, and the seven eight-star middle-level Divine Clans' rich wealth, the Hongmeng Divine Flag had been rising rapidly like a rocket. Now, out of the one thousand two hundred Hongmeng Divine Flags, seventy-two had been promoted to sixth-rank low-level Zhouhai treasures, and the remaining one thousand one hundred and twenty-eight Hongmeng Divine Flags were all quasi-sixth-rank Zhouhai treasures.
A set of 1,200 Hongmeng Divine Flags combined into one is no less powerful than some low-level eighth-grade Zhouhai treasures.
Of course, Su Mo also paid a heavy price for this. The assets of the fourteen and eighteen star tribes such as the Duobao Tribe were basically consumed. Even those treasures of the Universe Sea, including several sixth-level high-level treasures of the Universe Sea, were basically recycled and remade to become the nourishment for the promotion of the Hongmeng Divine Flag.
"Should we start dealing with the Yuanxu Divine Palace now?"
A murderous look flashed across Su Mo's eyes, like a ray of cold light, and he couldn't help but feel eager to try.
Now, in the entire Yuanxu Palace, the only one who can really pose a danger to him is the Yuanxu Divine Lord who is suspected to have entered the realm of the King of the Nine Heavens and the Sea. The others are at most on par with him and are far from being a threat to his life.
"Just bear with it for a while. What I want is to destroy the Yuanxu Divine Palace, not just inflict some damage on it."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Mo temporarily suppressed the impulse in his heart. Although taking action now might bring temporary relief, it would be impossible to uproot the Yuanxu Temple.
By then, if we alert the enemy, the Yuanxu Temple will be on guard and may even break up into small groups and flee to other places. It will then be extremely difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Each of them is at least the King of the Eighth Heaven and Perfect Universe Sea, and he is determined to hide with his people. Even if he is the King of the Ninth Heaven and Perfect Universe Sea, it would be extremely difficult to find them.
I'm afraid he will have to wait until he breaks through to the level of the King of the Universe Sea before he can possibly find the Yuanxu Divine Lord who is hiding in this vast Universe Sea.
Although he was fully confident of breaking through to the level of King of the Universe Sea, even if he was promoted to the Sixth Heaven Perfect King of the Universe Sea, his combat power was comparable to that of the Eighth Heaven King of the Universe Sea, but it was still difficult for him to get close to the mysterious light deep in his sea of consciousness. It was definitely an existence above the level of the King of the Universe Sea, or even a treasure of a higher level. It was not impossible.
It is only a matter of time before he breaks through to become the King of the Universe Sea in the future, but it is hard to say how many years that will be.
It took nearly 100 million years just to break through the sixth level of perfection, and that was without sufficient resources. If one wanted to be promoted to the King of the Universe Sea, it would take thousands or even trillions of years, or even impossible.
Not counting the acceleration of time, he has only lived for about two hundred billion years since traveling through time. He can't wait for so many billions of years.
"Although I can't take action directly, I can prepare in advance. With my current cultivation level, coupled with the cover of my secret magic, even a King of the Universe Sea at the early stage of the Ninth Heaven wouldn't be able to see through my true strength, let alone across endless time and space. I'm afraid only those at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, or even the King of the Universe Sea at the Perfection, can see through my true cultivation level. It's not certain whether Yuanxu Divine Venerable can successfully take that step and ascend to the King of the Ninth Heaven and the Universe Sea, so they certainly won't be able to see through my true cultivation level. From now on, I'll suppress my cultivation level to that of a King of the Universe Sea at the Perfection of the Fifth Heaven, so as not to break through too quickly and scare them."
As the thought flashed in his mind, a black light flashed in front of Su Mo, and a king of the universe and sea with a bull's head and a human body and four arms, wearing black magic armor, appeared in front of him.
After nearly ninety-five million years of hard training, he had completely devoured all the natural treasures collected by the Duobao God Clan and other fourteen and eighteen-star God Clan that could enhance the cultivation of the King of the Universe Sea, except for some that had restrictions and could not be swallowed multiple times. He began to refine the origin of the Universe Sea from these treasures as early as a million years ago.
Soon, Su Mo pushed the Nine-fold Divine Codex to its limit, and the King of the Universe Sea with a bull's head and a human body, like a deflated tire, shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
......
Time flows slowly, like the gurgling stream. Before you know it, 15 million years have passed.
With a "puff", the last king of the first-level universe and sea exhausted the last bit of the origin of the universe and sea, turned into ashes, and disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, a king of the second heaven and sea appeared in front of Su Mo.
......
Deep in the abyss of death, there is the center of a terrifying mushroom cloud that has lasted for hundreds of billions of cosmic years.
Yuanxu God and his four incarnations, whose bodies were covered in dazzling divine light, looked at each other with a hint of doubt and confusion in their eyes.
"It's been 110 million years, and that monster hasn't made any breakthroughs in cultivation. Could it be that we're mistaken?"
......
Time flies, and soon, another billion years have passed.
"That young man is only at the fifth level of the Perfect King of the Universe Sea. It seems we have overestimated him."
In the Death Abyss, a void place that stretches for trillions of cosmic years, the Divine Lord Yuanxu sneered, and the urgency in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Then he turned his gaze to the incarnation that had first pursued Su Mo, and said with a hint of reproach, "Fortunately, I insisted on my own opinion and did not rashly listen to your words, fellow Taoist. Otherwise, I am afraid that many complications would have arisen."
"What I am teaching you is that I overestimated that young man." The first incarnation lowered his head and said with a look of shame.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to blame yourself too much." Upon hearing this, Yuanxu Divine Venerable's voice softened. After all, she was his incarnation, and the two were one and the same, so it wasn't right to be too harsh on her. "You're just too concerned."
"Cultivation requires resources. Whether it's his own breakthrough or the recovery and advancement of his incarnation, resources are needed. He hasn't made any breakthroughs in all these years. If my prediction is correct, that young man's resources are already running low. As long as we pursue him relentlessly and don't give him any chance to breathe, one day we will be able to exhaust all his resources and incarnations and completely defeat him."
