Chapter 2858: Chapter 2858: Advancement to the Divine King Realm

"What are you doing here? Run!"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist saw clearly that it was Fang Bai and shouted urgently.

He was still within the coverage of the shockwave from the Tianlin Divine King’s Self-Detonation, yet had some hope of surviving, but with Fang Bai’s current strength, entering this range was certain death.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist still hoped Fang Bai would inherit his mantle in the future; if he died here for no reason, that would truly make him regret it endlessly.

Fang Bai did not answer the Nourishing Essence Alchemist; a beam of light suddenly glimmered between his brows.

In the next instant, a gigantic cauldron appeared behind Fang Bai and the Nourishing Essence Alchemist, shielding them from the invisible wave of Divine Power sweeping in with terrifying force.

"Thump!"

A booming sound rang out as the shockwave slammed into the massive cauldron, making Fang Bai and the Nourishing Essence Alchemist’s heads buzz.

Fortunately, the scene the Nourishing Essence Alchemist had imagined—where the cauldron shattered under the impact—did not occur.

What shocked him was that this huge cauldron, which looked utterly unremarkable, not only blocked the violent shockwave for them, but came out completely unscathed.

"Kid, just how many extraordinary Divine Artifacts do you have on you?"

When the shockwave passed, Fang Bai put away the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, and the Nourishing Essence Alchemist stared at him in a daze.

Fang Bai chuckled and said, "To be honest, Master, I only have a blade, an axe, a cauldron, and a bow... mm, just those four."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist had already witnessed all four of these Divine Artifacts; the more he learned about this Disciple, the more mysterious things he discovered on him, and he had no idea what other abilities Fang Bai possessed that he didn’t know of.

Fang Bai’s blade, axe, cauldron, and bow—these four Divine Artifacts—all surpassed the Divine King Level. Take the Pangu Axe the Nourishing Essence Alchemist used earlier to defeat the Tianlin Divine King: he felt it was at least a Royal Grade Divine Artifact; otherwise it couldn’t possibly have boosted his battle power by thirty percent in one go.

He thought of how Fang Bai, a mid-stage Divine Venerable Realm expert, actually carried four Divine Artifacts that were at least Royal Grade. If other experts found out, they would definitely covet them madly.

Thus, he had reminded Fang Bai more than once: in future battles, unless it was a life-and-death struggle, he must never reveal these Divine Artifacts, or he would invite calamity upon himself.

On this matter, Fang Bai naturally nodded and agreed.

"The Self-Detonation of a high-rank Divine King Realm expert is this destructive. A perfectly fine Tianlin City has actually been half destroyed; who knows how many experts fell under that shockwave."

After returning the Pangu Axe to Fang Bai, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist lowered his head to look at the ravaged Tianlin City below, sighing deeply.

Tianlin City, which had gathered tens of millions of experts, was half destroyed in an instant because the Tianlin Divine King disregarded everything to Self-Detonate. Wisps of smoke rose amid the broken walls and ruins, with corpses of experts scattered everywhere, presenting a desolate, apocalyptic scene.

Some experts, still shaken, returned to Tianlin City from distant starspace, searching among the Temples and Divine Residences for traces of fallen friends and family; from time to time, cries of grief rang out.

"That Tianlin Divine King insisted on doing evil even in death and dragged countless experts down with him!"

Seeing the numerous fallen experts’ bodies scattered throughout Tianlin City, Rongrong frowned slightly, feeling a stab of sorrow.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist had defeated the Tianlin Divine King and successfully claimed the position of Sect Leader, but this fine Divine City had been ruined to such an extent that it now required extensive rebuilding.

So the Nourishing Essence Alchemist simply relocated all the Nourishing Essence Sect Disciples into Tianlin City and assigned them the task of rebuilding the Sect Leader Mansion.

For experts of the Divine Realm, constructing Divine Palaces and Temples was not particularly difficult.

After several months of effort, one Divine Palace and Temple after another rose from the ground in Tianlin City, which had been half destroyed by the Tianlin Divine King’s Self-Detonation, and the city once more regained its former bustling prosperity.

During this time, when the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and the Great Might Divine King and other experts prepared to crusade against the Bading Sect, they discovered that the Bading Sect experts led by the Bading Alchemist had already fled Tianlin Star and vanished without a trace.

Thus, the situation of three great powers standing in a stalemate on Tianlin Star came to an end, leaving only the Nourishing Essence Sect alone reigning supreme.

On the nearly ten thousand stars belonging to the Tianlin Star System lived an uncountable number of experts, as well as many Sect forces. After hearing the news that a new Sect Leader had been born, some experts and Sect forces hurriedly brought gifts to pay respects and seek protection from the new Sect Leader.

The so-called "gifts" were actually Cultivation Resources such as Divine Crystals and Divine Medicine.

The new Sect Leader Mansion continuously received gifts from experts and Sect forces from all sides, then had them piled into the underground treasury.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist also began personally recruiting new Disciples, hoping to restore the Sect to its former glory as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, with nothing pressing to do, Fang Bai, the Great Might Divine King, and Rongrong began to travel through the major star regions of the Tianlin Star System.

They spent a full ten years traversing the tens of thousands of stars of the Tianlin Star System, finally completing a circuit, and obtained quite a few opportunities along the way.

The ones who benefited most from this, naturally, were Fang Bai and Rongrong.

Over these ten years, their realm and cultivation level made great strides, especially Fang Bai, who along with Rongrong formally stepped into the Divine King Realm.

As for the Great Might Divine King, his strength had improved somewhat over these ten years, but his realm and cultivation level showed no sign of breakthrough.

After all, his cultivation was already high-rank Divine King Realm; one more step and he would be in the Divine Emperor Realm.

And experts in the Divine Emperor Realm could already be counted among the upper echelon of the Divine Realm’s powerhouses.

The Great Might Divine King was self-aware and knew that given his aptitude, without great opportunities and without several hundred or even a thousand years, it was almost impossible for him to step into the Divine Emperor Realm. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

With his new early-stage Divine King Realm cultivation level, Fang Bai’s battle power remained terrifyingly strong. When Rongrong, at the same realm, sparred with him, even if Fang Bai fought bare-handed and did not use any Divine Artifacts, Rongrong couldn’t last twenty breaths.

If he used Divine Artifacts, Fang Bai could defeat Rongrong with a single slash of his blade—this was simply an absolute, crushing advantage.

Fang Bai had even fought the Great Might Divine King several times; when he used Divine Artifacts, he could actually hold his own for a thousand breaths without showing signs of defeat.

Fang Bai felt that if he released his seven Primordial Spirits and joined forces with them in a formation to contend against the Great Might Divine King, they might well end in a draw.

However, the fact that Fang Bai possessed the Chaos True Body and seven Primordial Spirits was something the Great Might Divine King did not know at present, and Rongrong likewise had no idea.

Because ever since he had met Rongrong and the Great Might Divine King, up till now, Fang Bai hadn’t had a chance to display his strongest strength.

"Give you another ten years to advance by one more minor realm; by then, your battle power within the Divine King Realm will probably be invincible!"

The Great Might Divine King said this to Fang Bai, his face clearly showing a sense of pride.

After all, Fang Bai was his grandson-in-law; the stronger Fang Bai proved to be, the more it showed his own "eye for talent." When he met Rongrong’s parents in the future, they would praise him for his good judgment.

Thinking of Rongrong’s parents, the Great Might Divine King once again felt the urge to go in search of them.
