Elven cultivators

Intense fluctuations of law emanated from the starlight.

Wherever it passed, even the void itself was left with visible spiderweb-like cracks.

A bird was caught off guard and crashed into the crack, instantly exploding into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace of its body.

Even from a great distance, one could sense the violent aura of the laws.

The starlight flew at an extremely fast speed, even the sword escape technique couldn't catch up.

This was the first time Anton had encountered someone who could outrun him in terms of speed since he mastered sword escape.

Fortunately, he could use his divine sense to lock onto the starlight from afar, so he didn't have to worry about being left behind.

More than ten minutes later, the starlight finally slowed down a little, then suddenly turned downwards and crashed into a valley.

A cloud of dust instantly billowed up, and a deafening roar echoed across the valley, carrying for a great distance.

Anton stopped in mid-air above the valley, his divine sense covering the entire valley floor. He quickly locked onto his target and flashed to the center of the valley.

At the same time, a strong wind arose, blowing away the surrounding dust.

A giant pit, several meters deep and more than ten meters in diameter, came into view.

In the very center of the giant crater, a radiant hexagonal crystal floated in the air about a meter above the ground, undulating slowly.

The crystal was only the size of a fist, entirely golden, and radiated a dazzling light.

Just looking at it evokes a sense of awe from the bottom of one's heart.

Even if you were to compare it to the most beautiful gemstones in the world, it wouldn't be worth even one percent of this crystal.

A hint of amazement flashed in Anton's eyes. His magical power surged forth, enveloping the golden crystal and slowly bringing it to his front.

Just then, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly rang out around them.

Seven or eight figures rushed into the valley almost simultaneously.

Humans, dwarves, orcs, sea creatures... the people who came were of diverse races, but all of them exuded a powerful aura.

Without exception, they were all of legendary rank.

They were clearly drawn here by the starlight, or attracted by it.

Upon entering the valley, the gazes of these legendary experts fell directly on the golden crystal in front of Anton.

Sensing the rich aura of laws emanating from the golden crystal, a look of amazement flashed in their eyes.

"Hand over the items!"

One of the orcs couldn't contain himself any longer. He took the battle axe off his back and charged toward Anton with a sinister grin.

The raging power of the laws enveloped the battle axe, roaring as it tried to cleave the elf before it in two.

Anton didn't even glance at the orc, and suddenly unleashed a burst of Xuanjin sword light.

The legendary experts present only saw a flash before their eyes, and the orc's head exploded instantly. The headless corpse swayed a few times before crashing to the ground.

Sold out instantly!

Everyone gasped in unison, their eyes wide with horror as they looked at Anton.

To kill a legendary expert in a single encounter, and being an elf, coupled with that attack that resembled a sword beam...

With all these factors combined, everyone present immediately recognized the elf's identity.

Anton Silvermoon, the Meteorite Sword Saint!

The most powerful Pokémon in mainland China, bar none!

""

Why would this jinx come to the southern part of the mainland?

Everyone instinctively took a step back, their expressions growing increasingly horrified.

After realizing the identity of the elf before them, they no longer had any desire to compete for the golden crystal.

It is rumored that more than twenty saints have died at the hands of the Fallen Dragon Sword Saint.

The number of legendary ranks is countless.

They must be crazy to fight this killer for something.

"roll."

Anton spoke calmly.

The moment the words fell, the group of legendary experts felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They turned and left without hesitation, fearing that if they were too slow to leave, they would suffer the same fate as that orc.

No sooner had they left than a flying tower silently arrived above the valley.

Several figures flew out of the tower and landed beside Anton.

It was Eleanor, Roman, the First Elder, and the Third Elder, among others.

Sensing the fluctuations of starlight's laws and receiving news that Anton had left the refining site and headed south, they immediately boarded the Flying Radiance Tower and hurriedly followed.

Seeing that Anton was alright, the elves were immediately relieved, and their attention was immediately drawn to the golden crystal in Anton's hand.

Eleanor was the first to realize: "Was that the force of the laws emanating from this thing just now?"

"That's right." Anton nodded.

"What is this?" Roman asked, his face full of curiosity.

Anton gave a meaningful smile: "This is divinity."

godhead?

The elves present were all stunned, their faces showing astonishment.

For them, it was a word that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

They are familiar with it because they all know that divinity is the authority of the gods, the manifestation of laws and the aggregation of faith energy, and the source of the gods' powerful strength.

It feels unfamiliar because since the new era, no other deities have appeared on the Dawn Continent besides the Dragon God.

Apart from the dragon race, no other race has ever seen the Dragon God.

For races other than dragons, gods and divine status are merely things that exist only in ancient texts, possessing a distant and illusory quality.

"To be precise, this should be a fragment of a god."

Anton's voice drew the elves' attention back to the present.

The Third Elder couldn't help but ask, "Whose...divine fragment is this?"

In fact, all the elves present had a vague idea of ​​the answer to this question.

After all, since the beginning of the new era, there has only been one god on the Dawn Continent.

Anton's subsequent response confirmed their suspicions.

"Of course it belongs to the Dragon God Aio."

The elves looked at each other, momentarily lost in thought.

After the destruction of the Dragon Court, the fall of the Dragon God Aio has become a consensus across the entire continent.

Despite the consensus, when the evidence of the Dragon God's fall was undeniably presented before them, they still felt a shock that defied description.

After all, that was a deity.

A powerful being who created the dragon race and guided the dragon age that lasted for nearly ten thousand years.

They couldn't imagine what kind of event could have led to the fall of the Dragon God.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Anton naturally guessed what they were thinking.

But he couldn't answer that question either.

In my previous life, until the time I transmigrated, the reason for the Dragon God's fall remained a mystery.

After arriving on the Dawn Continent, Anton was consciously searching for the answer to this question, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

It wasn't until he saw the mural in the ancient experimental base in the Dark Region not long ago that he vaguely realized that the fall of the Dragon God might be related to the pitch-black humanoids that surrounded the Dawn Continent.

Why are fragments of the Dragon God's divine essence here?

Roman's curious question interrupted Anton's thoughts.

"Because the Dragon God's remains have always been in the Abyss," Anton said. "Moreover, the divine corpse has some kind of connection with the Abyss. After the gates of the Abyss opened, its divine essence split into many fragments, rushed out of the gates of the Abyss, and scattered to various parts of the continent."

This statement contained so much information that it took the elves present quite a while to process it.

"How did the Dragon God's remains end up in the Abyss?" the Third Elder asked in astonishment.

Anton shook his head.

He didn't know the answer to that question either.

The Abyss, which is not yet connected to the mainland, is an alien space that is difficult for intelligent beings below the level of gods to reach.

But for the Dragon God, it was as simple as going wherever he wanted.

But Anton didn't know why the Dragon God would go to such a horrible place and perish there.

It was precisely because he knew that the Dragon God's remains were in the Abyss that he did not attempt to search for them, thus thwarting his efforts.

As for why the Dragon God's divine essence fragments split, he didn't know the reason behind it.

The only thing known is that the splitting of the Dragon God's divine essence fragments was the key factor that led to the rise of the gods.

"Send out men to search for the scattered fragments of divine essence," Anton ordered.

Eleanor immediately agreed with a solemn expression.

After that, they didn't stay long and immediately went up to the Flying Radiance Tower to leave.

The gates of the underworld have been opened, and the army of the undead is about to descend. There is still much to be done.

In a quiet room.

Anton sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at the fragment of divine essence floating in front of him, his divine sense carefully scanning it.

Gods are beings far more powerful than demigods.

The dragon god Aio, in particular, possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary gods.

Even if they don't reach the Mahayana stage, they should at least be at the Tribulation stage.

Even a fraction of the power core of such a powerful being, if it is only a fraction of its essence, contains an astonishing amount of energy based on the laws of nature.

The same is true.

The moment Anton's divine sense penetrated the fragment of the divine core, he sensed the immense power of the laws contained within it.

It far exceeds the demigod level.

At the same time, countless prayers filled with piety, fervor, and reverence surged into Anton's mind like a tide, rushing towards his soul.

In an instant, Anton felt as if his soul had been violently struck by a vast ocean, and his mind was filled with a buzzing sound.

Fortunately, he was prepared and immediately severed the connection with the fragment of divinity, withdrawing his divine consciousness.

The noisy prayers also faded away.

"The energy of the laws from the fragments of divinity is indeed not so easy to absorb."

Anton opened his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

The law energy contained within the fragments of divinity, commonly known as divine power, is essentially an energy aggregate formed by the fusion of the law power wielded by the gods and the energy of faith.

Every bit of divine power contains the thoughts of countless believers.

For the gods, this is the source of power.

However, for other intelligent beings that are not gods, it is nothing short of poison.

If one absorbs this divine power without any precautions, one is likely to be impacted by these thoughts, thus being assimilated, losing oneself, and gradually becoming the god imagined by the believers.

At that time, even if one successfully absorbs the fragments of divinity and gains unprecedented power, one will no longer be the original self, but a "He" shaped by the prayers of all living beings.

This is a path completely opposite to the spiritual path of seeking one's true self.

Anton would never do that.

Of course, he couldn't possibly give up this immense divine power.

If he could absorb this divine power, it would be enough for him to refine his Dharma body to its ultimate state.

Once they overcome the tribulation of wind and fire, they will be able to advance to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"The prerequisite is to find a way to purify the intention within the divine power."

With a thought, Anton opened the Great Dao Jade Slip and began searching for suitable methods.
