Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 511 Ascending to the Stars
Inside a mausoleum that resembles a palace.

A young giant, about three meters tall, sat on a throne, his entire body covered by a layer of ice a finger's thickness.

The throne exuded an endless chill, forming a strange power that kept the young giant from decaying.

Natural disasters slowly led him to become a giant.

"Got you."

After he finished speaking, multicolored light emanated from his body, and one by one, thirty-six demonic artifacts flew out.

They transformed into thirty-six stars, illuminating the young giant on the throne.

Black Sun's Intestines suddenly trembled and fell to the ground like mud.

A beam of red light shot out and entered the young giant's forehead.

Time passes minute by minute.

Three hours later, the young giant opened his eyes, and a sinister giant shadow flashed in his eyes.

Strange powers spread through his body, and the ice on the young giant's body slowly melted.

After the last piece of ice melted into water, the young giant slowly rose to his feet.

The joints made a slight clicking sound.

The new calamity caused him to step down the stairs; at first, his steps were stiff, but the further he walked, the more natural they became.

The small, blue giant moved forward slowly, with a flame and sun tattoo branded on the back of his neck.

Stepping out of the main hall, the Heavenly Calamity Envoy looked at his new body and frowned slightly.

"This body is, after all, too ancient. However, it is the most complete star-shaped body that can be found in the Ten Realms so far. After returning to the Demon Prison, a more complete séance can be performed..."

As he thought this, he looked up at the sky above the great battlefield.

When the Heavenly Ranks descended, he was excluded.

"It's time to find 'The Mountain-Slaughtering Battle Body'..."

The calamity-bringer said he was going to go find it, but he stood there, his eyes full of longing.

After a long while, he looked at the vast, boundless battlefield and slowly opened his mouth.

“You will appear to God when he seeks you.”

After he finished speaking, his eyes dimmed and his aura weakened slightly.

Outside the portal in Heavenly Bone City.

He Pengfei suddenly turned his head and looked out into the distant purple mist.

His eyes shone with light, as if they were high in the sky, revealing the distant landscape.

A demon is trying to persuade the giant.

The dragons intercepted the dwarves, treants, and sorcerers.

Demons and sea monsters joined forces, led by the giant, cracked rock of the volcano, to attack humanity.

Xu Ming was originally undergoing trials in the purple mist when he heard the warning. He turned back halfway, gathered everyone, and fought a great battle against the demons and sea monsters.

The dwarves, treants, and spirit masters were blocked by the dragon and unable to make a move.

Giants and humans are not allied, and since the Frost Giant Grand Duke is not among them, they have no reason to help.

Human warriors fight alone.

The battle became increasingly fierce.

Suddenly, several warriors from the Eagle Alliance, the Gull Alliance, the Elephant Kingdom, the South Seas, and the Sandy Land launched surprise attacks on the other human warriors around them.

Seeing this, even though he had been away from Earth for many years, He Pengfei cursed under his breath.

In the earliest war of the ten realms, warriors from various countries suffered greatly at the hands of these nations that betrayed humanity.

The warriors were well-prepared and mostly avoided the sneak attacks of these traitors.

Even so, four human warriors were still killed in a sneak attack.

He Pengfei watched Xu Ming's figure and sighed deeply.

He was unable to escape the purple mist.

He thought to himself, then turned to look at the portal Zhou Leng had entered.

Inside the portal, all was pitch black.

Zhou Leng seemed to be in a pure black void, waiting quietly.

At the same time, a faint mechanical divine voice came to my ears.

"Civilization detection passed...Bloodline detection passed...Unknown territory...Martial artists of all races..."

Zhou Leng listened carefully, but he couldn't understand some of the divine script pronunciations.

Finally, that voice stopped, and another voice rang out, sounding somewhat old.

"Child of nascent civilization, congratulations on completing the divine trial. You have taken your first step on the path to godhood."

"However, this first step has not yet been implemented."

“Only when one is conferred the title of ‘Divine Communicator’ and is watched by the gaze of the Divine Ascension Ring can this step be considered to have been officially taken.”

"Ordinary Heavenly Bone Warriors face trials of beastly slaughter, but you are different."

"In a faraway place, there stands a burial monument, which, though dilapidated, still contains an incredible martial will."

"Go there and inherit that martial will; this is your second test."

"If you fail to complete it, you will be thrown into the endless battlefield of calamity, just like the next batch of Heavenly Bone Warriors, until the war ends."

"My God is watching you, and I hope you will not disappoint him."

"The Mad God Army will surely be your final destination."

"Before you depart, receive the blessings of my God." "Go, final warrior."

A spark of inspiration flew in and landed between my eyebrows.

Zhou Leng instantly saw a huge map, stretching from the Broken Sky Bone all the way to the Burial Star Monument.

Between the two, numerous locations are marked with their names.

It is far more detailed than any map we had ever seen before.

A flash of light appeared before my eyes, and I reappeared outside the portal.

When He Pengfei saw Zhou Leng come out, he asked, "How did it go?"

"Let me receive the blessing first, and then proceed to the Burial Star Monument."

Upon hearing this, He Pengfei analyzed, "The Burial Star Stele... is a very good trial, but also extremely difficult. Not to mention that you will encounter all sorts of strange objects along the way, even if you reach the bottom of the Star Stele, you may not be able to comprehend it completely."

"What is a burial star monument?" Zhou Leng asked.

"I don't know the specifics either; I can only piece it together from various conflicting pieces of information. The true burial star monument is a great deity who governs a region of the sky, imprinting one 'decaying' civilization after another onto the star monument, transforming it into divine runes in the form of starlight, carrying the power of a certain spiritual will."

"The star monuments of the Great Battlefield could not be the kind of burial star monuments of that level. They should be imitations of burial star monuments. They are the star monuments that a powerful god refined the remains of one god after another into starlight-shaped divine runes."

"The replica of the Burial Star Monument from the Great Battlefield is extremely powerful. It was crafted by a god of astonishing talent and is said to have even been praised by our god, but unfortunately, he ultimately perished. If one can comprehend it, it will imbue one's attacks with an even stronger martial will."

Zhou Leng asked a few more questions, which He Pengfei answered one by one.

"Come on, I'll take you to choose the final blessing. Remember..."

He Pengfei looked around and whispered, "The quartermaster will pull some tricks and let you choose. He hopes you'll choose the worst one, but you must choose 'Mount Ascension'. You told me before that you have a giant's body, and that reward is the most suitable for you. This Remnant Heaven Bone Trial is based on the High Giant Trial, and Mount Ascension is the essence of the High Giant Trial."

“Good!” Zhou Leng trusted He Pengfei’s organizational skills.

"Unfortunately, I probably won't be qualified to choose to climb Mount Xing in my lifetime... I hope you will."

He Pengfei's voice held a mixture of regret and anticipation.

The two found the quartermaster, who was a strange monster with the lower body of a fat black worm and the upper body of a chubby little giant. He had a face similar to an orc and was five meters tall.

The quartermaster could actually speak broken Chinese, and then listed all sorts of favors, exaggerating them to the extreme.

If He Pengfei hadn't reminded him, Zhou Leng would have been attracted by those strange rewards such as "Great Wilderness Overlord Body", "Endless Divine Pool" and "Divine Dreamland", but because he trusted He Pengfei, he remained unmoved.

“I choose to climb Mount Xing,” Zhou Leng said.

"Uh……"

The quartermaster glanced at He Pengfei and smiled, saying, "You're an alien, and from a rudimentary civilization at that, so you don't understand..."

He rambled on and on, but Zhou Leng didn't listen at all. He was just thinking, "Am I an alien?"
"...Then, please tell me your final choice." The quartermaster said with a smile.

"Climb Star Mountain," Zhou Leng said.

“Fine…” The quartermaster glared at He Pengfei, who remained indifferent.

No one dares to fool the final warrior's demands.

The quartermaster put on a smile and led the two towards a teleportation portal, saying, "You truly are a wise and ultimate warrior. Mount Ascension is indeed a great trial for high giants. I was worried your body couldn't handle it, so I didn't recommend it before. Mount Ascension can only be used once every hundred years. Once you use it, no one else can use it for a hundred years..."

The quartermaster began to vigorously blow on Dengxing Mountain and pat Zhou Leng.

Upon arriving at a portal emitting a ghostly blue light, the quartermaster began his incessant chatter again.

However, Zhou Leng listened attentively this time because many of the details this guy mentioned were unknown even to He Pengfei.

After the quartermaster finished speaking, Zhou Leng expressed his gratitude.

The quartermaster breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please, esteemed final warrior, enter."

Zhou Leng stepped into the portal.

The quartermaster glanced down at He Pengfei. He usually looked down on this human, or rather, he looked down on all the rudimentary civilizations on the Great Battlefield.

He is a member of a moderate civilization.

However, he forced a smile that resembled the wrinkles of a large intestine and said with a slight smile, "Lord He, congratulations. With the final warrior, you may be able to leave this godforsaken place, enter the main star, and have the opportunity to become a noble citizen of the main star."

"You're too kind. The Heavenly Bone Trial plus the Heavenly Rank Trial are extremely difficult, and he may not be able to pass them. Even if he does pass them, who knows how many years it will be before he can go to the main star."

"I see he possesses extraordinary strength; he will surely ascend to sainthood in the future..."

The quartermaster continued his conversation with He Pengfei.

Inside the portal.

Ahead, towering mountains rise straight into the starry sky.

The mountains are bare, with steep slopes and relatively smooth surfaces, unlike natural mountain slopes.

Zhou Leng had never seen such a high mountain before. Even the ridiculously tall mountains in the world of giants looked like small hills in front of this giant mountain.

At the end of the mountain, countless stars converge into a giant star ring.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a giant ring formed by the convergence of galaxies.

The galaxies in the ring are so numerous and dense that it gives the illusion that all the galaxies in the universe have gathered in this giant ring.

In my peripheral vision, one giant after another emerged, each carrying a massive stone sphere on its back.

These giants are indistinct in appearance, but each of them is over twenty meters tall.

Demigod giant.

Each demigod giant was slightly bent over, carrying a stone sphere on their back, each with a diameter of 100 meters.

These stone spheres are carved with flaming sun symbols, which generate a powerful force and increase the weight of the spheres.

"Stop looking, let's begin today's training."

A colossal demigod walked by, glanced at Zhou Leng, spoke, and then climbed the mountain carrying the enormous stone sphere.
