Chapter 447: Leaving the Others in the Dust, Shattering A King (I)

Li Daoyi’s words left everyone momentarily stunned.

Bardas quickly spoke in a low voice. "I have no objections."

"...I don’t have any either," Ji Wuji added with some reluctance, clearly frustrated. This monster, with hundreds of thousands of Purple Spirit points, was not someone he dared to provoke.

Xia Youhui chuckled. "Ah Chu, I agree—you should go up first." After all, showing off was most impressive when done first.

The others naturally had no objections either, eager to assess the situation.

"Good luck, Chen Chu!" Lin Xue cheered, clenching her fists.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Chu smiled. "Alright, I’ll go in first." He was curious to see how many rewards his 700,000 Purple Spirit points would bring.

He walked toward the cliff’s edge, and golden beams of light flew out from his Sumeru Bracelet, covering him to form the red-gold Dragon Blood Battle Armor. However, it looked rather battered at the moment, with dents and missing edges in several places.

The most shocking feature was the deep slit across the chest, which seemed like it had almost split the wearer in two. The sight left many in stunned silence, including Lin Xue and An Fuqing, who had been unaware of the previous battle.

Considering Chen Chu’s strength, the fact that a monster had managed to injure him and cause such severe damage to his armor spoke volumes of the intensity of the battle.

During the final explosion of the ten suns, despite the thirtyfold defense boost and Chen Chu deliberately separating the armor at the last moment, it had still suffered heavy damage.

Thankfully, the armor had already been enhanced to a top-level transcendent grade and possessed self-repair abilities, though it would take time to recover using true power for nurturing.

Wearing the armor, Chen Chu approached the path to divinity under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Li Daoyi smiled warmly. "Brother Chu, go ahead. Show everyone what it truly means to be an ultimate prodigy."

What kind of scheme is this guy cooking up?

Chen Chu glanced suspiciously at Li Daoyi before stepping onto the clouded path. In an instant, an invisible force descended upon him.

Boom!

The Purple Spirit, which had been suppressed within Chen Chu’s forehead, suddenly erupted, transforming into a scene of apocalyptic hell that enveloped an area of 150 meters. The murderous aura surged skyward, accompanied by ghostly wails and godly roars.

Under the blood-red light of the dense blood aura, the sky and earth were dyed crimson. The terrifying force caused many to instinctively take a step back, their faces full of shock.

Everyone knew Chen Chu had slaughtered tens of thousands of contaminated monsters, but seeing the numbers on paper and confronting the overwhelming murderous aura in person were two entirely different experiences.

In the next moment, Chen Chu’s figure vanished, reappearing over 2,300 meters away in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Above the path to divinity, the void trembled, and a pure white beam of light slowly emerged, resembling the first light of creation and exuding a mysterious aura that stirred life itself.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the beam of pure energy silently merged into Chen Chu’s body.

It wasn’t over, however. Two more beams of primordial light appeared, drifting down onto Chen Chu before vanishing.

"Only three?" The crowd was astonished.

They weren’t surprised that Chen Chu received origin rewards—after all, his Purple Spirit points were extremely high—but three beams? That wasn’t an overwhelming number, though it wasn’t too disappointing either.

At that moment, Xie Chen’s calm voice echoed from the Eye of the Sky’s shadow. "These origins rewards are for reaching the second stage in one step. They don’t relate to his Purple Spirit points.

"According to the inheritance principles, anyone with over 20,000 Purple Spirit points receives an extra origin reward. The threshold for a second reward is 100,000. In addition, those who accumulate more than 50,000 Purple Spirit points can skip the first trial entirely."

As Xie Chen finished speaking, five more beams of pure energy appeared in the void, one by one merging into Chen Chu’s body. Instantly, a profound aura surrounded him.

"Eight beams of origin!"

Everyone’s faces filled with envy. Chen Chu had just stepped onto the path of inheritance and already obtained eight beams of world origin—just two shy of the requirement for breaking through to the king-level from the peak of Ninth Heavenly Realm.

This guy is a true monster.

"Hahaha... As expected of Ah Chu!" Xia Youhui laughed joyfully.

As everyone stood in shock, Ji Wuji and Bardas both had a look of anticipation in their eyes. According to Xie Chen, they were also guaranteed at least two origin rewards.

Just as the group prepared to enter the path to divinity, Li Daoyi suddenly looked at them all and casually said, "Everyone, there's no need to rush. Even if you do, it won't matter—this time, the inheritance on the path to divinity is destined to belong to me, Li Daoyi.

"Of course, I know some of you, like a certain Ji, might be unwilling to accept this. But it’s useless because I’m invincibly powerful now! Hahaha..."

Uh...

Everyone was at a loss, unsure why Li Daoyi suddenly became so arrogant and bold.

Before anyone could refute him, Li Daoyi turned and stepped onto the path. His strong Purple Spirit was instantly drawn, and he appeared six hundred meters ahead.

Even Li Daoyi was momentarily stunned by this. He had forgotten that, due to his seclusion in the micro-world, he had only accumulated slightly more than 20,000 Purple Spirit points.

As a single basic origin reward slowly descended from the void, everyone froze.

"Is this guy here to be a comedian?" Xia Youhui’s expression turned odd.

"Hahaha... I’m dying from laughter. So, Li Daoyi, this is the confidence you’ve been boasting about? Even an Innate Awakener is no big deal." Ji Wuji burst out laughing.

With a flash of white light, he transformed into a divine dragon and charged onto the path. Instantly, the 50,000-plus Purple Spirit points on his body erupted, surrounding him with a dense purple-black mist.

Under the pull of the principle power, Ji Wuji appeared over 1,100 meters away. Above his head, two beams of white light slowly descended—one as a reward for passing the first stage, and the other as feedback for surpassing 20,000 Purple Spirit points.

Boom!

A fierce white wind howled around Bardas as his figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a 20-meter-tall humanoid white tiger that emanated an overwhelming pressure.

The white armor he wore also expanded with him, including the transcendent hide armor refined from a colossal beast.

This special battle attire, with its ability to shrink and enlarge, was highly popular in North Lin, where almost every cultivator above the Fourth Heavenly Realm owned at least one set.

Otherwise, every time these gene warriors partially transformed into beasts, their clothes would rip apart.

In his fully beastified form, Bardas charged onto the path. His 50,000-plus Purple Spirit points were also activated, and he appeared alongside Ji Wuji at the 1,100-meter mark. Two beams of origin likewise descended above his head.

After Ji Wuji and Bardas stepped onto the path, dozens of figures exuding the aura of middle- and late-stage Sixth Heavenly Realm moved, transforming into beams of light as they rushed forward.

Each of them unleashed more than 20,000 Purple Spirit points and appeared between the seven-hundred- and thousand-meter marks, summoning a single origin beam each.

These individuals had been keeping a low profile since entering the ruins, and most were old geniuses who had graduated one or two years earlier.

As seasoned experts who had trained with the military, they had cultivated far longer and reached higher levels than the geniuses still in school.

Additionally, with the advantages of secret arts, battle armor, and transcendent weapons, these veterans occupied most of the top 50 positions on the Purple Spirit leaderboard after entering the ruins.

Only a few exceptional freaks, like Chen Chu, who had reached the Seventh Heavenly Realm, or Bardas and Li Daoyi, could suppress them.

There was another person beside Bardas—a blonde youth from North Lin named Bredos. He had also kept a low profile since entering the ruins, yet his Purple Spirit value had remained in the top five.

Two origin beams descended upon him as well.

"An Fuqing, shall we go in too?"

"Sure."

Gabriella, piloting her mech, also stepped onto the path alongside An Fuqing, their Purple Spirit points activating as they appeared at the eight-hundred- and seven-hundred-meter marks, respectively.

Due to spending most of their time in secluded cultivation or upgrading mechs, An Fuqing’s Purple Spirit value had only reached 22,000, while Gabriella, who had previously held the top spot, barely reached 30,000.

Soon, one figure after another rushed onto the path to divinity.

The low-key genius Ji Changkong appeared over five hundred meters ahead. His Purple Spirit points were just shy of earning an origin reward, leaving everyone feeling slightly regretful.

Compared to him, the second-year leader of the southern battlefield, Li Hao only reached two hundred meters with his steel pillar in hand.

Suddenly, Lin Yu exclaimed. "Look! An Fuqing is moving, and she’s so fast!"

As everyone progressed along the path, the outside world saw only their projections, standing still on what looked like a stage condensed from clouds.
