Chapter 537 A Match for 5-Series Deities

Li Yang’s Dark Insect King avatar had only been created a little over ten years ago.

Now, this Dark Insect King had grasped a profound mystery of the Dark Law and broken through to the World Realm.

If he hadn’t been in the Super Legacy Land this whole time, Li Yang’s breakthrough would have come even sooner!

With this, all of Li Yang’s Five-Element Laws had broken through to the World Realm!

After the breakthrough, Li Yang assessed his own strength.

‘Just as I thought, the strength increase isn’t that significant.’

Right now, Li Yang’s own foundational strength already surpassed that of Tri-System Deities. The boost from just his Dark Law breaking through to the World Realm was almost negligible—not even a one percent increase.

‘But the breakthrough was successful, so now it’s time to absorb the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood!’

Li Yang took a deep breath. With a wave of his right hand, a drop of blood appeared in his palm—it was the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood!

‘My Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar has already absorbed five drops of Primordial Dragon Essence Blood. I wonder how much my main body can absorb!’

Li Yang’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

That’s right. His Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar had been cultivating nonstop with its clan, periodically entering the Ancestral Dragon Pool. In the last ten years, it had managed to absorb two more drops of Primordial Dragon Essence Blood!

In total, his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar had now absorbed five drops!

The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar’s current strength could absolutely crush his main body!

Even if his main body and all his other avatars attacked together, they would be no match for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar!

‘Let’s begin!’

Without another thought, Li Yang began the absorption process.

Ten years ago, Li Yang felt he had reached his limit. It was an incredible struggle to absorb even a single trace of the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood. But now, it flowed into his body with ease!

…

Time flowed on. One month… three months… half a year…

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

In a remote area, Li Yang sat silently in meditation. In his hand was a drop of blood—the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood.

However, it was no longer a complete drop. Only about one-fifth of its original volume remained.

Li Yang silently continued to refine and absorb it until, at a certain point, he finally stopped.

‘Have I reached my limit again?’ Li Yang thought, looking at the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood in his hand.

At this moment, he once again felt that it was an immense struggle to absorb even a single trace of the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood’s energy.

‘Since I’ve reached my limit, I’ll stop here.’

It was better not to absorb it at all if it was this difficult.

With a flip of his right hand, Li Yang put away the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood.

‘I’m running low on Primordial Dragon Essence Blood. With less than half a drop left, it looks like I’ll have to make a trip back to the Holy Temple to exchange for another portion.’

Previously, Li Yang had thought three drops of Primordial Dragon Essence Blood would be more than enough; even Deities couldn’t absorb that many.

Among the few Emperor-level experts who could refine Primordial Dragon Essence Blood, most could only manage a few drops.

Yet for Li Yang, a mere World Realm cultivator, he had already refined almost three full drops in just over a decade!

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar!

The thoughts flashed through his mind and vanished. Li Yang then took a moment to assess his strength.

With a thought, the energy he had absorbed converged, and a suit of blood-red armor slowly materialized over his body.

The armor didn’t appear solid, instead flowing like a liquid across the surface of Li Yang’s skin.

“Blood Dragon Armor!” Li Yang smiled faintly.

The Blood Dragon Armor was undoubtedly much more substantial than before.

BOOM!

As the Blood Dragon Armor took form, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Li Yang!

This aura was at least seven or eight times stronger than that of a Tri-System Deity!

HUM…

A ripple passed through the air, and the phantom of Soul Ink appeared. He looked at Li Yang and asked, “Li Yang, is your foundational strength approaching that of Four-Element Deities?”

There was a clear hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Yes,” Li Yang replied, nodding with a smile.

He hadn’t completely reached the level of a Four-Element Deity, but the gap wasn’t very large.

‘The Primordial Dragon Essence Blood truly lives up to its reputation!’

Li Yang marveled. In just one year, he had refined over another full drop, and his strength had skyrocketed once again!

With a clench of his right fist, a long spear appeared in Li Yang’s hand.

“Profound Annihilation Spear!”

With a wave of his right hand, a beam of spear light shot forth.

KRRRRT!

As the spear light shot out, a fissure actually tore through the surrounding void, a testament to the attack’s immense power!

‘An attack on the level of the Five Elemental Deities!’

An incredibly brilliant smile spread across Li Yang’s face.

“Red Sky Combat Boots!”

His figure flickered and vanished in an instant, yet his body still seemed to be standing in its original spot.

An afterimage, created because his speed was just too fast.

‘My speed has also reached the level of the Five Elemental Deities!’

Li Yang stood in the void, gazing out at the vast, desolate battlefield before him, his eyes filled with soaring pride.

“Haha, my own foundational strength is approaching that of Four-Element Deities, and with two Sacred Artifacts—the Profound Annihilation Spear and the Red Sky Combat Boots—my attack power and speed have both reached the level of the Five Elemental Deities!”

BOOM!

A terrifying aura radiated from Li Yang.

“What’s more, I have numerous avatars, making me nearly impossible to kill!”

“Alien Race, your chance to kill me on this Slaughter Battlefield is gone!”

An incredibly intimidating light burst from Li Yang’s eyes!

Having reached this level, one could say that only true Five Elemental Deities on the Slaughter Battlefield could possibly defeat Li Yang!

And Five Elemental Deities were extremely rare on the Slaughter Battlefield, with nearly all of them concentrated in its deepest core.

Moreover, a Five Elemental Deity with ordinary Divine Artifacts and average attack power wouldn’t be able to kill Li Yang. The only ones who could kill him with ease were the invincible kings among the Deities!

It was safe to say that the current Li Yang already stood among the top echelons of the Slaughter Battlefield!

And how long had it taken him? A mere ten-plus years since he first entered the Slaughter Battlefield!

“Number Six.”

Reining in his aura, Li Yang spoke.

“Master.”

A virtual image appeared from his wrist device—it was his AI assistant.

“Has anything of note happened on the Slaughter Battlefield recently? Have any fortuitous opportunities appeared?” Li Yang asked.

Now that his strength had reached this level, Li Yang was ready to go out and properly temper himself.

Although breakthroughs came easily to him, reaching the Emperor Level in the future would definitely require a great deal of tempering.

Besides, apart from tempering oneself, the Slaughter Battlefield was most known for the various fortuitous opportunities that appeared from time to time.

Each appearance would trigger a mad scramble among countless powerful experts!

A major reason why so many Deities gathered on the perilous Slaughter Battlefield was precisely because of these numerous opportunities.

These opportunities could even include top-tier Divine Artifacts, and some of the treasures that appeared were enough to tempt even Emperors!

“Master.”

Hearing Li Yang’s question, the virtual assistant Number Six quickly replied, “No major opportunities have appeared on the Slaughter Battlefield recently. However, Mixed Void, the genius nurtured by our Holy Temple, has been discovered. He is currently being surrounded and attacked by a coalition of the Alien Race…”
