"Mixed Void’s Talent can also be called one of the top ten in the history of our Human Race!"
"Two top-ten talents! The Sacred Palace’s genius selection from decades ago was definitely the most astounding batch in the history of our Human Race!"
...
The many powerhouses of the Human Race were shaken.
In just a short time, the shockwaves Li Yang had caused had yet to dissipate, and now Mixed Void was making waves again!
Li Yang read the news, but his eyes showed no anxiety or pressure. Instead, they burned with a fighting spirit.
’Is my strength really about the same as Mixed Void’s now? Good. We’ll see who’s stronger in the future!’
Competing with an evenly matched genius is what makes things interesting.
Reading the news as he walked, Li Yang didn’t slow his pace and soon arrived before the ancient palace.
The palace was engraved with countless complex, secret patterns that seemed to contain the ultimate truths of the Cosmos.
Two people stood guard in front of the palace.
"Sir Stone Mill, Sir Kan Le," Li Yang called out with a smile, looking at the two.
Stone Mill and Kan Le were both Four-Element Deities, their power far exceeding his own. Naturally, he wouldn’t act arrogantly.
"Li Yang, the Eternal Ancestor is aware that you’ve completed his objective. You may go in," the Deity Kan Le said with a smile.
They knew that Li Yang had been training constantly recently.
The training arranged by the Eternal Ancestor was generally very difficult and required a long time to complete.
But Li Yang had succeeded in just three months, which undoubtedly demonstrated his potential.
"Alright." Li Yang smiled, nodded, and walked into the palace.
Watching Li Yang’s back, Stone Mill and Kan Le couldn’t help but start discussing him.
"Li Yang’s Talent is truly powerful. It’s said that the Destruction Spear Skill is an extremely difficult technique to learn, yet Li Yang mastered the second form in just three months!"
"It’s normal for his Talent to be powerful, but recently, that Mixed Void has also revealed himself to be a peerless genius. His current strength isn’t much different from Li Yang’s."
"Indeed. The powerhouses of our Human Race are starting to debate again who will be stronger in the future, Li Yang or Mixed Void!"
Mixed Void revealing his strength caused another shockwave, but more than that, it was a pleasant surprise for the powerhouses of the Human Race.
The more geniuses that appeared within the race, the better. It would only make the race stronger.
And so, the top powerhouses of the Human Race were delighted by the emergence of these geniuses. Some favored Li Yang, while others favored Mixed Void. It was quite normal for a few powerhouses to place bets when they favored different geniuses.
Unaware of Stone Mill and Kan Le’s discussion, Li Yang walked into the palace and soon reached the end of the main hall.
A figure appeared ahead. It was the same ordinary-looking silhouette, yet Li Yang still felt as if that figure was an entire world. He didn’t dare to look for too long; a single extra glance felt like it would cause his consciousness to be pulled in and trapped.
"Greetings, Teacher."
Li Yang called out with the utmost respect.
"Li Yang."
The Eternal Ancestor looked at Li Yang and nodded slightly. "To have mastered the second form of the Destruction Spear Skill in just three months is a little faster than I anticipated. Not bad."
He offered Li Yang a word of praise. Li Yang didn’t dare say much, simply standing there respectfully.
"What are your plans now? Are you preparing to break through to the World Realm, or...?" the Eternal Ancestor asked.
’What are my plans?’
Hearing the Eternal Ancestor’s question, Li Yang hesitated slightly.
According to his own thoughts, he was actually fully capable of breaking through to the World Realm right now.
But the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had said before that in a few years, the Sacred Palace would arrange for him to go to the Jinhan Race to receive an opportunity.
With his Talent, he was supposed to receive at least five opportunities from the Sacred Palace during the Star Lord Realm stage.
The first was the Star Moon Race’s inheritance, the second was the Thunder Spirit Race’s body tempering, and so on. He had gained immense benefits from both.
He could probably gain huge benefits from the remaining opportunities as well. And although Li Yang was in the Star Lord Realm, his comprehension of laws was still progressing rapidly!
After breaking through to the World Realm, the speed of law comprehension isn’t any faster than in the Star Lord Realm.
Therefore, the safest path was to remain in the Star Lord Realm, continue comprehending laws, receive all the opportunities granted by the Sacred Palace, and then break through from a position of maximum strength.
Besides, he hadn’t been cultivating for long. There was no need to rush.
But a part of Li Yang also wanted to break through to the World Realm as soon as possible. He already had the power of a Deity now. After breaking through and reaching the Peak of World Realm, his strength would surely skyrocket!
Moreover, he held the Token for that super Inheritance Space in the Slaughter Battlefield. Once he reached the World Realm and went to the Slaughter Battlefield, he could use that Token to enter the super inheritance grounds.
Also, and most crucially, his Thunder Star Beast avatar and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar could go to the Slaughter Battlefield, find other Thunder Star Beasts and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons, and infiltrate their respective racial groups!
Based on Li Yang’s knowledge, the Thunder Star Beast race and the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race were top-tier powers in the Cosmos. Although not as strong as the Human Race, they were much more powerful than races like the Fire Nether Divine Beast race.
They didn’t have any Ancestor Realm existences, but they had several rulers of their race.
In races like the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, the strongest was only an Emperor, and even that had brought him great benefits. If his avatars went to the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast races, which had several rulers, the progress would be unimaginable!
All things considered, among Li Yang’s four law avatars, the Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar and the Time Divine Tree avatar were both natural-born Deities, allowing his law comprehension to progress at the fastest rate!
His Thunder Star Beast avatar and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar were a bit weaker in this regard. However, the Thunder Star Beast and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon races were stronger powers in the Cosmos. If he could infiltrate them, he would surely gain greater benefits than he did from the Fire Nether Divine Beast and Time Divine Tree races!
After all, aside from the dozen or so powerful races with a Creator Ancestor, like the Human Race and the Demon Race, races like the Thunder Star Beast and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon were among the strongest.
"You’re hesitating?"
The Eternal Ancestor asked, seeing Li Yang’s slight hesitation.
Li Yang nodded respectfully. "Yes, Teacher. I am indeed a little hesitant. I previously heard that there are numerous opportunities granted during the Star Lord Realm stage..."
Li Yang quickly explained his situation.
What kind of existence was the Eternal Ancestor? When speaking to such a being, it was natural to be direct and not beat around the bush. As for being reluctant to give up the opportunities of the Star Lord Realm stage, that was perfectly normal. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
What genius would be willing to forsake such opportunities? Even other geniuses, most of them would probably choose to acquire all the opportunities of the Star Lord Realm stage before breaking through to the World Realm.
That was the safest approach.
After all, once he reached the World Realm, he would be completely on his own. There would be no one to protect him, and he would have to temper himself alone in places like the Slaughter Battlefield.
Hearing Li Yang’s explanation, the Eternal Ancestor nodded. "You Star Lord Realm geniuses have a thousand years. You’ve only been in this realm for less than twenty years, so it’s true that there are many opportunities you haven’t received yet."
"However, you already have the strength to kill Deities, and you have your avatars. There’s no need to deliberately remain in the Star Lord Realm for the sake of a few opportunities. For you, the Slaughter Battlefield is the best place to be. The sooner you break through, the better it will be for your growth."
