Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 718 Gift of Sword
Some people saw it and believed it, some doubted it, and some thought Zhou Leng was just subtly showing off.

What does it mean to say "I've obtained quite a few Heavenly Ranks"?
Zhu Shiji replied, "I had already suspected you were going to advance to Martial Saint, but now I don't. However, this kind of thing can't be hidden for long. Advance to the middle or upper rank as soon as possible, and then you will be able to face most demigods without fear."

"No, I really didn't become a saint."

"From now on, the Dragon Kingdom will depend on you."

"You think too much."

Zhu Shiji completely ignored him and continued, "After the second round of trials begins, you should go to the Demon Prison more often. That ancient beast blood should be very important. By the way, thank you for your headless god component. Headquarters will send someone to pick it up right away. The trade items from all realms are being transported slowly. Anything you specifically requested will be sent to the Ancient River Research Bureau."

In the past few days, I killed too many newly promoted and lower-level demigods. Even though some were destroyed and some were killed by accident, I still accumulated a large number of headless god components.

Zhou Leng has decided to lend the equipment to the Guhe Sect disciples on the front lines free of charge; non-Guhe Sect disciples will not be able to obtain it.

Three hours later, the disciples of the Ancient River Sect from Xiongcheng arrived.

Because it was a secret mission, all they knew was that they were there to receive the Headless God component; they knew nothing else.

Upon seeing Zhou Leng appear, the Innate and Grandmaster level cultivators stood at attention and shouted, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Zhou Leng's identity as the senior disciple of the Ancient River Sect had long been exposed. After the Battle of Zhao Palace, he not only became an idol of martial artists in the Dragon Kingdom, but also an idol of martial artists all over the world.

Now, his popularity is approaching that of the Martial Saint.

His status among young people is even higher than that of a martial arts saint from a foreign land.

Zhou Leng nodded and scanned the disciples of the Ancient River Sect. They were all elites from the Demon City Army or the Martial Guard, and were top-notch in every aspect.

"Let's go. The headless god can't be put into a regular magic bag. Let's go to the airport's cargo warehouse together, and you can pack it up and put it on the plane later."

Everyone was puzzled. There were more than twenty of them, and they had brought several cars. Why did the eldest brother need to go in person?

Perhaps it's on the way?
Senior Brother is really too polite.

Everyone boarded the vehicle and arrived at the airport's special cargo warehouse.

As soon as Zhou Leng touched the Starry Sky Bag, piles of demon or half-orc corpses gushed out.

Many of the demons were enormous, and soon they gathered into several small hills in the empty warehouse.

The intense aura of demigods and divine blood stimulated everyone's senses.

The people who came to deliver the goods stared blankly. If it weren't for the strong demigod aura contained in these things, they would have thought they had come to a slaughterhouse.

A normal slaughterhouse cannot kill this many pigs in a day.

"Okay, that makes a total of 2935 items."

Zhou Leng waved to his fellow disciples and walked outside.

Inside the Starry Sky Bag were also some demigod corpses, mainly dragon and beast demigods.

Dietary supplements are one of the foundations of cultivation; we must not forget this fundamental principle.

As for the other important parts of the demigod's corpse, such as divine blood, they have already been collected. We will ask the spirit master to refine them into magical items.

Demigod materials are always in short supply.

After Zhou Leng walked out of the warehouse, the Xiantian and Grandmasters in charge of the transport looked at each other.

"This number... the monsters are in for a rough time."

"No wonder it's said that the Blood of Tyranny is also a disciple of our Ancient River Sect. This is now confirmed. These must all be the spoils of war of Senior Brother Blood of Tyranny."

"The senior brother has quite a lot of influence; he actually managed to get so much from the Blood of Tyranny."

"He must have paid a huge price; the blood of tyranny is not for ordinary people."

"Yes, he must have been wronged."

"We can't let our senior brother down. He dares to kill Zhao Hao, but we don't. So let's kill more demons."

"Who said the mission would be easy before we came?" a grandmaster asked.

"These headless god components... are a bit novel. The power they contain is too strong for ordinary people to pack. Guys, what are you standing there for? Let's start packing them!"

A group of top-ranking masters and grandmasters in Xiongcheng changed into their work clothes and began their work.

That very night, the Headless God Components were precisely distributed to Grandmasters or Innate Masters of the Ancient River Sect throughout the country.

At dawn the next day, the warriors who had refined the Headless God components could no longer contain themselves and launched an attack on the demons in the various demon cities.

With a massive amount of headless god components, the human armies won several consecutive victories in various demon cities, routing the demon alliance.

Zhou Leng returned to the Guhe Research Bureau and reviewed the latest intelligence.

According to current statistics, at least three thousand demigods from the Ten Realms perished in the struggle for the first level of the Ascension to Godhood.

If the statistics are complete, there may be 4,000 casualties.

This number is unimaginable.

Among them, the Demon Prison, which has the most demigods, contributed a large number of demon demigods.

The demon demigods are furious, not because so many demigods have died.

It's not because the good stuff is flowing into other people's fields.

After the first level of the Heavenly Rank distributed Heavenly Rank Stars, the lords of the Demon Prison made a decision.

To prevent the next instance of tyrannical blood from sneaking into the Demon Prison, the Star Artifact "Eye of All Knowledge" was changed to "Death Gaze" mode.

During the Heavenly Trial, the Eye of Omniscience will search the entire eighteen levels of the Demon Prison for only one person: Blood of Tyranny.

This all-knowing eye cannot be used for anything else, but as long as it can stop the tyrannical blood, it is all worth it.

Back when the Blood of Tyranny was a Grandmaster, he already gave the Demon God a headache. After he advanced to the level of a demigod, the Demon God was beheaded.

After receiving the information, Zhou Leng praised his senior brother's latest poem with a grateful heart.

Shortly after I posted it, Tyrannical Blood replied.

It's actually on Earth.

“Zhou Leng, you have good connections with all walks of life. Help me investigate which bastard used my name to steal and kill a demon demigod.”

Zhou Leng was silent for a few seconds, then quickly replied, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will do my best to find that bastard." "You haven't even advanced to Martial Saint yet, but you can travel to various realms, is that you?"

“When you were still a Grandmaster King, you could definitely do it, but I am far inferior to you back then. I would like to, but I really can’t. I’ve tried my best to kill those with conflicting powers, like Zhao Hao, and at most a few weaker newly promoted demigods. How could I possibly kill someone stronger?”

"That's true. By the way, can you take a look at this and tell me what it is?"

Zhou Leng looked at the photo.

I obtained a Divine Communication Token before in the Heavenly Rank Battlefield.

When I was chatting with Jingkong Zhichen before, we talked about how even though the Jingkong Zhichen family has a lot of star-level resources and possesses a Void God, they still have to pay a huge price to compete for the Divine Token, and there is no guarantee of success.

Where did you get it?

"Do you remember that mysterious treasure that the grandmasters were fighting over a while ago?"

"I remember now." Zhou Leng was a little dazed; it was something that happened a long time ago.

"I didn't encounter it when I was a Grandmaster. But when I advanced to Martial Saint, I happened to run into a group of demonic Grandmasters fighting over this thing, and I killed them all."

Zhou Leng recalled the intelligence from Wu Wei: more than 3,000 demon masters had mysteriously disappeared in a demon city in the Demon Prison, which turned out to be the work of the Blood of Tyranny.

"This thing is called the Divine Token, it's a special qualification in the universe..."

"After obtaining the Divine Token, I will be noticed by the Ascension Ring and can enter the 'Ascension Cloud Realm.' I don't know exactly what it is, but it's a place that tests demigods..."

"Even if you don't catch the attention of the Ascension Ring, you can still enter the Ascension Cloud Realm, but the benefits might be fewer..."

"This is a treasure of cosmic level, you must keep it safe."

Tyrannical Blood replied, "Since it's so important, I'll carry it with me at all times. Hmm... I have a treasure that allows me to travel between different realms; I'm sure you've already guessed it."

"The Ten Realms all guessed it."

"If you want to use it, I can lend it to you for a few days, but you have to let me know in advance."

"it is good."

"Don't forget to help me find that bastard who framed me."

"Definitely!" Zhou Leng sent a small emoji of a determined, clenched fist.

After ending the chat, I silently gazed into the distance.

Things are not going well.

His tyrannical bloodline was able to kill a high-ranking demigod, so he may have already advanced to a high-ranking demigod. His progress was so rapid that it far surpassed that of the geniuses who were once his equals.

For example, Scarlet Eyes is probably only at the lower tier now, or at most the middle tier.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to be a minor genius at the Heavenly level, or even the chosen one of destiny in the Siren World.

As long as you don't touch it, you should be fine.

After finishing his chores, Zhou Leng went to Xiongcheng to pay tribute to Wang Boxiong, Chen Shouhu, Li Shenkong, and other righteous men who had fought against the enemy.

After the Zhao clan was destroyed, they were placed in a grand cemetery with high honors.

Subsequently, Zhou Leng, in his capacity as a member of the Honorary Court, convened several high-level meetings in the Supreme Court, mainly to discuss various matters such as ascending to the Heavenly Realm and preparations for the War of the Ten Realms.

Back in Rucheng, Li Shenkong's sister came to visit.

She held the Star-Slaying Sword in both hands and handed it to her.

“My brother said you are more suited to use the Star-Slaying Sword than he is. If he doesn’t come back, it must be given to you.”

Zhou Leng thanked her, took the Star-Slaying Sword with both hands, and quietly looked at the scabbard.

The girl bowed to Zhou Leng, turned and left, wiping away her tears as she walked.

Zhou Leng held his sword, recalling his encounters with Li Shenkong, and looked up at the Ascension Stairs in the sky, remaining silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away.

Looking outside the research institute, I saw a big yellow dog barking loudly.

Seeing Zhou Leng looking over, Da Huang squinted and smiled, wagging its tail frantically.

"Come in!" Zhou Leng shouted.

Big Yellow easily leaped over the iron fence, rushed to Zhou Leng, stood on its two hind legs, put its two front legs on Zhou Leng's shoulders, and its big tongue dangled out.

"Hey, Big Yellow!" Xu Qingjin was in the distance.

Da Huang looked at Zhou Leng, and Zhou Leng nodded. Da Huang rushed to Xu Qingjin and started playing with her.

After playing for a while, Da Huang ran back and tried to leave by biting Zhou Leng's pants.

"Are we going to follow the path of our ancestors?" Zhou Leng asked.

Big Yellow nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Leng glanced at the Heavenly Stairs high in the sky. The second level of the Heavenly Stairs trial had not yet begun, so he could take this opportunity to embark on the Path of the Ancestors.

If one were to lead the eight-toothed mammoth clan to the end of their ancestral path, the blessings they would receive would be unimaginable.

After all, the ferocious beast is a descendant of the ancient beasts of the starry sky.

Suddenly I remembered that the second level of the Heavenly Rank Trial would produce the blood of ancient beasts, which should be the blood of some kind of ancient star beast.

After making some preparations, Zhou Leng followed Da Huang and headed straight for the Beast World.

Old Beijing Magic City.

Rao Xuan led a massive team of over three thousand people through the border between the Old Capital Demon City and the Beast World, and arrived at the Beast World.

Led by the Flying Mountain Bear, they arrived at a remote valley.

Through a combination of guessing and gesturing, they learned that a major battle was about to break out and that they could only move around in the nearby area.

Once the great battle is over, the Flying Mountain Bears can travel to the Mountain King's Treasure with the demigod clan they belong to.

The remnants of the Zhao family remained in the valley, waiting quietly.
