Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 711 Ascension to Sainthood
In the distance from Zhao Palace, countless people watched Zhou Leng's retreating figure.

In the shadows, pairs of eyes were also watching.

Zhou Leng stopped, drawn in by the Heavenly Rank, just like everyone else.

The light from the three-tiered celestial staircase pierced through the misty, rain-swept sky.

The steps are transparent, and the starlight inside is dazzling, as if it contains a galaxy.

On Blue Star, no matter where anyone is, even underground, they can see the celestial staircase high in the sky.

Three-tiered celestial staircases are extremely rare.

One level of the Heavenly Rank helps to enhance the power of a nation, while three levels of the Heavenly Rank can potentially enhance the power of an entire planet or an entire race.

Yu Zhimin was revered as the Martial Ancestor not only because of his plan to perish together with all the gods.

Furthermore, because the battle was judged a victory for Blue Star, they obtained a golden crystal, which unlocked the "Seed of True Qi," a racial supernatural power that benefited the entire Blue Star.

Currently, this is the only race with this supernatural power on the entire planet Earth.

People all over the world gazed at the three-tiered heavenly staircase and discussed it animatedly.

Many people were overjoyed, because no matter what, the three-tiered heavenly staircase was fantastic news.

But some people felt fear.

Because every time a celestial rank descends, it signifies a great battle.

Is this being presented to the world, and will it drag everyone in the world into a war?
Major world powers mobilized and began preparing for war.

Amidst the global chaos, a white divine light beam shot out from the third celestial staircase, flying towards the Dragon Kingdom, towards Xiong City, towards Zhao Palace, and landing directly above Zhou Leng's head.

Before Zhou Leng appeared an ancient jade platform in an oriental style.

The jade platform is carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding elegance and grandeur.

Four items appeared on the jade platform.

The first item is a golden crystal.

The second item is an ancient brass sword.

The third item is a martial arts screen wall.

The fourth item is a jade bottle containing a drop of dragon-shaped divine blood.

The battle ended, nearby networks were reconnected, and some people began live-streaming online.

The news of Zhou Leng, who was alone in the Heavenly Realm, spread rapidly around the world.

At this moment, everyone realized that this was a Heavenly Rank reward.

Some people began to speculate about what the four items were.

But many more people had their minds opened up.

"Holy crap! So killing Zhao Hao has a Heavenly Rank reward!"

"So that's how it is. Zhou Leng has the legendary system, right? This system mission is to flatten the Zhao Palace instance. The reward for completing the mission is three levels of Heavenly Rank?"

"As we all know, the Heavenly Rank represents the power of advanced civilizations. This shows that even advanced civilizations can't stand Zhao Gong's actions, so they activated a hidden mission and had Zhou Leng take it on."

"Now, even if the surrender faction in the Dragon Kingdom brings out all the laws, it's useless."

Zhou Leng: As you all saw, it wasn't that I wanted to kill Zhao Hao, it was Tian Jie who ordered me to do so.

"It is known that the simultaneous explosion of ten thousand cores annihilates ten thousand demons and rewards humanity with the Heavenly Rank. Zhou Leng also rewarded humanity with the Heavenly Rank for killing Zhao Hao. This proves that killing Zhao Hao is equivalent to annihilating ten thousand demons. Advanced civilization certification, all set."

"Zhao Hao's reputation is ruined..."

In the light, Zhou Leng looked at the four items.

I've seen golden crystals before, but this one is brighter than any of them.

The second item is an ancient sword from the starry sky, a true divine artifact from the starry sky.

The third item is a set of internal energy cultivation techniques, leading directly to the peak of the Martial Saint realm.

The fourth item is the blood of the Star Dragon. After consuming it, one can obtain a portion of the Star Dragon's bloodline power and evolve their body into an incomplete Starry Sky Body.

Through information exchange, it was learned that this was a reward from the great battlefield.

Because he killed the Heavenly Calamity Envoy.

However, the two places are too far apart, so I have only arrived now.

Zhou Leng stared at the Star Dragon's Blood.

This time, I faced almost the same difficult choice as before.

Last time, I had to choose between Golden Crystal and Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit.

One may enhance the collective, while the other will absolutely enhance the individual.

Zhou Leng looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

Ultimately, I can't let go of this beautiful land.

Reach out and grab the golden crystal, then select "Activate".

boom……

A colossal divine light, a kilometer in diameter, spread out, transforming into a magnificent golden pillar that shot into the sky and into space.

With a deafening explosion, the clouds and rain dissipated, and the pillar of light shattered into countless golden particles, scattering across the world.

Along with the sunlight, it falls on everyone.

Every human being, regardless of gender, age, wealth, status, or identity.

Anyone with human blood would feel a surge of heat rising within their body.

Because most countries do not possess the national supernatural power of "Martial Arts Perception," most people are unaware of what they have gained.

The Dragon Kingdom people, who possessed "martial arts perception," immediately realized that they had gained a supernatural power.

The name is a bit strange.

Dongjun Guangti.

Following the Seed of True Qi, this is the second racial supernatural power of all mankind.

Everyone quickly realized that it must have been Zhou Leng who named this kind of supernatural power of the race.

As everyone carefully perceived the sensation, countless people revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

The Dongjun Guangti (Eastern Lord's Light Body) has two major functions.

Its first function is to absorb the power of all light and transform it into its own power. As its cultivation level increases, it can absorb more and stronger light.

The second function is light therapy. Anyone who is under the light can gain extraordinary healing abilities, especially for physical injuries.

Not far from Zhao Gong, several ruthless martial artists took out knives and cut open the skin on the back of their hands.

"Ten times, at least ten times the recovery speed!" the martial artist cheered.

“In my perception, it’s about eight times. Is it because I don’t believe in light? From now on, I do believe.” Another martial artist stared at the wound on the back of his hand, his face full of joy.

"I'll buy a statue of Zhao Sheng and put it in my house later."

"Place a statue of Zhou Leng next to it."

"I can see it."

Frontline of the Western Sea Demon City.

A large force of a thousand men was caught in a fierce battle.

Golden light descended. On each martial artist's body, wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Martial artists are naturally quick to recover, and in just a short while, many of the seriously injured martial artists were back to their energetic selves.

Even some martial artists who had suffered internal injuries and lost their ability to fight suddenly found themselves alright.

"Long live the Lord of the East!"

Sensing the light of the Eastern Lord, their morale soared, and they launched a counterattack against the sea monsters, achieving a great victory.

Meanwhile, in the hospitals on Blue Star, more and more patients are leaving their rooms to bask in the sunlight or starlight.

Their bodies recovered rapidly.

The illness gradually subsided.

On some operating tables, the surgeons were a little confused and hurriedly changed their surgical plans.

In the Demon City connected to Blue Star, thousands of battles, large and small, are taking place.

Golden light descended.

A few seconds later, the injured martial artists stood up one after another, as fierce as tigers and wolves.

Zhou Leng looked down at his body.

As the one who unlocks the Golden Crystal, his Dongjun Light Body power is probably five to ten times that of an ordinary person.

With the addition of other supernatural powers, in just a few seconds, the minor damage that would normally take several days to recover was completely healed.

When different types of supernatural powers are combined, the actual therapeutic effect is increased by an order of magnitude.

Ten times the speed.

Zhou Leng suddenly felt a slight movement in his abdomen, realizing that he was about to ascend to sainthood. He took big strides and ran towards Rucheng.

After this battle, his previously vague martial arts ambitions gradually became clear.

For that future where there are humans.

Therefore, all factors that could lead to a future without humans must be eliminated.

The enemy of mankind must die.

Zhao Hao must die.

Zhao Gong, who betrayed Zhao Dongjun, must die.

Humanity's next step can only be to surpass Zhao Dongjun, not to return to an even darker past.

Both materially and spiritually.

We cannot retreat even a single step, for retreat means utter ruin.

At this moment, Zhou Leng's will was firm and his mind was clear.

The starry sky can truly merge with the physical body.

On the way, Zhou Leng contacted Xu Qingjin and then headed straight for Ruge Mountain.

News of the Battle of Zhao Palace and the Three Heavenly Steps spread across the internet.

Initially, the various factions tried to keep quiet.

Finally, unable to keep it a secret any longer, they released the news.

On the Wuhu Q&A website, one question has become particularly popular.

How would you evaluate Zhou Leng's latest battle and his attainment of the third level of the Heavenly Rank?

The most popular answer was only ten characters long.

"He trampled on the tombs of a thousand officials and shattered the palaces of three dynasties with his fist."

Then came a variety of responses.

"Behind Zhou Leng, I saw more than ten thousand suns rising at the same time."

"As long as Zhou Leng is here, humanity's hope remains."

“If any human dares to provoke Zhou Leng again, he can slap them across the face and say: I gave you half a life.”

"The next Zhao Dongjun is born; the next war of the ten realms is in sight."

"Fortunately, Zhou Leng was there; otherwise, the blood of heroes inside and outside Zhao Palace would have been washed away by the heavy rain."

"After this, changes will inevitably follow in the Dragon Kingdom and among humankind."

"Rumor has it that without Zhao Gong and their resistance, the higher-ups have already begun to take action. Let's wait and see."

The following day, the Supreme Court issued an order.

Major media outlets did not over-publicize it, but all media outlets published it.

The order was nothing special; it simply announced that the Dragon Kingdom would launch a new round of attacks against the Demon Worship Cult.

Such orders are issued on average once every one or two years.

However, unlike before, this order contains four more important words.

The phrase "time is of the essence" indicates that the situation has reached its limit.

One is that "there is no upper limit," which shows the great determination.

One sign is "the blade facing inwards," indicating that the internal rotten flesh has begun to be removed.

The last one is "The Martial Saint has come to provide guidance".

This means that the Supreme Court has finally reached a consensus.

The news of Zhao Gong's destruction and the Three Heavenly Ranks continued to spread, not only shaking Blue Star but also causing a great uproar in the Ten Realms.

In the remote mountainous region of the Demon World, a place where even the Demons cannot communicate.

The God of Calamity transforms into the son of a farmer who has lost his land, and embarks on a path of conquest with a female demon spirit master.

In the world of ferocious beasts, beneath the giant frost tree.

Zhou Leng rushed under the tree.

Nowhere in the Ten Realms is safe except here.

He greeted Senior Tree, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate the Great Sun Divine Skill.

At first, the Great Sun Divine Skill felt like a warm ray of light, flowing back and forth within the body.

Gradually, the true singularity began to change, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting.

The power outside the singularity seemed to form a sun, radiating intense heat.

The Great Sun Divine Power rotates continuously.

The stellar energy emanating from the solar shield around him was completely absorbed.

A large amount of light fell from the sky and entered the body, a very small portion of which was transformed into starlight energy.

Zhou Leng continued his cultivation in this cyclical manner.

After an unknown amount of time, the strength in my abdomen suddenly became unbalanced.

The singularity can explode and collapse outwards.

The sunlight outside collapses inward.

The two forces collided violently.
