Chapter 538 The Eternal Progenitor's Guidance

Virtual Assistant No. 6 quickly recounted the events.

“Mixed Void was ambushed and surrounded?” Li Yang was taken aback when he heard what No. 6 said.

He quickly got up to speed. He learned that Mixed Void had been cornered and left with no choice but to unleash his true power to escape, exposing his identity in the process.

It was like how Li Yang’s greatest strength was his Destruction Spear Skill. If he used it, his power would be even greater, but he couldn’t.

Because the moment he did, it would be too easy for others to connect him with the identity of Li Yang.

Beside him, Soul Ink was also listening. He said calmly, “Mixed Void has improved a lot. He can now easily defeat Tri-System Deities. He probably wasn’t much different from you ten years ago, but the gap between you two has surely widened by now.”

Hearing this, Li Yang just smiled, not saying anything arrogant.

He opened his map.

‘The area where Mixed Void was ambushed isn’t too far from me. I can get there in a month at most.’

After looking at the map, a glint appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

“Let’s go!”

His figure flickered, and he sped toward the location.

‘I’ve been laying low for so long. It’s time I started making a name for myself on the Slaughter Battlefield!’

He had been on the Slaughter Battlefield for over a decade, but Li Yang had fought very few battles, spending most of his time cultivating in silence.

But now, his strength had basically been maximized. It was impossible for it to increase exponentially again in a short period.

Therefore, it was time for him to begin the slaughter and hone his skills!

「」

「Virtual World, Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.」

“Disciple greets Teacher.”

Li Yang looked at the man before him.

The man was ten meters tall, clad in simple, black ancient armor. His facial features were somewhat similar to an Earthling’s, looking quite ordinary, but this man was one of the two Creator Ancestors of the Human Race—the Eternal Ancestor!

“Li Yang, have you finished refining the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood? How much did you refine?” the Eternal Ancestor asked.

He was a little curious about Li Yang refining so much Primordial Dragon Essence Blood.

At just the World Realm, the amount of Primordial Dragon Essence Blood his disciple had refined was unparalleled in the Cosmos, even rivaling that of most Emperors.

Because of this, he had immediately given an order to prevent this news from spreading.

Li Yang said respectfully, “Disciple has refined a little over one drop. Of the final drop in my possession, only a fifth remains.”

“Mm, not bad.”

The Eternal Ancestor nodded and said calmly, “At this rate of refinement, you should be able to finish refining the rest of the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood in just a few years.”

He looked at Li Yang and said, “Your Thirteenth Senior Brother is currently on the Slaughter Battlefield. He has extra Primordial Dragon Essence Blood on him, so I will instruct him to meet you and give you three more drops. You can then focus on honing yourself on the Slaughter Battlefield.”

To obtain more Primordial Dragon Essence Blood, Li Yang would have had to return to the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. But it was a great distance, and a round trip would take at least three years.

Just going there and back would take six or seven years.

His disciple’s rate of progress was astounding, and his time was precious. The Eternal Ancestor didn’t want Li Yang to waste it all on travel.

‘Thirteenth Senior Brother will bring the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood to me?’

Hearing this, Li Yang nodded respectfully and said, “Yes, Teacher.”

Looking at his disciple, the Eternal Ancestor added, “After refining all that Primordial Dragon Essence Blood, you should now be able to contend with Five Elemental Deities with the help of a Sacred Artifact, right?”

“Teacher, Disciple’s strength has just reached the standard of the weakest Five Elemental Deities,” Li Yang nodded and replied.

The so-called “weakest,” of course, referred to Five Elemental Deities who possessed no treasures or Divine Artifacts.

In reality, any being who became a Five Elemental Deity was certain to have a Divine Artifact, and possibly even treasures that could exponentially increase their strength. Li Yang was still no match for any one of them.

The Eternal Ancestor nodded. “You have reached this level of strength, but you still fall far short of the Five Elemental Deities in many aspects, most notably your attacks. You are skilled in the Destruction Spear Skill, but your execution of the technique can no longer keep up with your progress in strength.”

In truth, Li Yang’s most powerful technique was naturally the Destruction Spear Skill. Over ten years ago, he had just mastered its second form.

That second form was only capable of killing ordinary Deities.

It sounded impressive, but with Li Yang’s strength having surged to such a degree in just over a decade, even executing the second form of the Destruction Spear Skill was useless to him now.

If this was true for the Destruction Spear Skill, it was even more so for his other attacks, like the Hexagram Spear.

It could be said that Li Yang now fought purely with brute force, without any real method or technique.

“Over the past decade, I, your teacher, have combined the Hexagram Spear, the Destruction Spear Skill, and the ideas you previously mentioned about creating your own attacks. I have created a new spear skill for you. However, it is only a prototype. You can continuously refine it, add your own ideas, and make it something that suits you best,” the Eternal Ancestor said.

With a wave of his right hand, a spear technique materialized before them.

As it was demonstrated, the fluctuations of the spear technique completely enveloped Li Yang, allowing him to clearly perceive every detail of the skill.

‘This spear technique… it’s so powerful!’

Li Yang perceived it carefully, a look of astonishment on his face.

He had only felt a glimpse of the spear technique’s prototype, yet even this prototype possessed an extremely terrifying power!

The entire spear technique was demonstrated in three forms. The first form was no weaker than the third form of the Destruction Spear Skill.

And the third form of the Destruction Spear Skill was capable of defeating Five Elemental Deities.

“From now on, enter the Virtual World frequently to train. I have only constructed the prototype for this spear skill. How you perfect it is entirely up to you. Your comprehension is very high. I believe that within a few decades at most, you will be able to fully perfect the first form and turn it into your signature attack,” said the Eternal Ancestor.

“By then, you’ll be able to face other Five Elemental Deities with ease.”

In the Eternal Ancestor’s eyes, even a powerful Five Elemental Deity could be handled with ease by his disciple, as long as he learned the first form of the spear technique he had created, a process that would take a few decades at most.

What was a signature attack? It was something that provided a massive boost to one’s strength!

Many experts spent countless years just to create their own signature attack. Even someone like Yuan Wu, from whom Li Yang had learned to create numerous attacks at will, only produced ordinary attacks, not something that could be called a signature.

For example, in a battle between equals where foundations and treasures were similar, one could completely crush their opponent by simply using their own attack!

To be able to utterly dominate an equal opponent relying solely on one’s own deployed attack—that was a signature attack!

However, all of this was perfectly normal for someone like the Eternal Ancestor.

What kind of being was the Eternal Ancestor?

He was a terrifying existence capable of creating worlds! It was only natural that an attack he spent dedicated time creating would have such an effect.

‘Handle other Five Elemental Deities with ease?’

Hearing the Eternal Ancestor’s words, Li Yang’s heart stirred, and a clear look of joy appeared in his eyes.

He was currently lacking combat methods like powerful attacks, and now the Eternal Ancestor had prepared one for him.

“Thank you, Teacher,” Li Yang said gratefully.

(Thank you to my bros for the encouragement and the tips, I really mean it. I’m still not doing great, so I’ll keep trying to adjust. I’ll aim for three chapters a day down the line… Special thanks to big bro Heshang Diao for the 5,000-coin tip, thanks to Bansheng Liangliang Liangdao Shang and Shunqi Ziran 2023 for the 1,500-coin tips, and thanks to 08a for the 100-coin tip. Thank you all.)
