Chapter 1724: Chapter 1724
"Is this the power of an eighth-tier Death God? This power is truly awe-inspiring."
Even from a distance, the perception of the world’s laws affected Xi Qianxue and the others. The chilling sensation of the law-bound souls was no joke.
Only those at the seventh tier could withstand it. If it were a sixth-tier being, just standing nearby might result in instant death.
"Indeed, this is the power of an eighth-tier Death God. This should be the aura emitted by the Origin of Death, and it is indeed the path most easily taken by Death Gods," Du You smiled slightly.
"The Origin of Death—is it similar to your origins?"
At this moment, Lin Yucha spoke: "It’s different. These Death Gods take the divine spirit route, relying on the world laws to trace the primal source of a particular law. They transform their souls to continuously align with the laws they comprehend. Even if there are differences in this Origin of Death, the ultimate destination they point to is the same."
"And our origin is formed by the fusion of laws, belonging to the absolute self-origin. This origin power aligns most with the self, but the path is not fixed, so there is still a great deal of uncertainty."
Li Mengyao nodded: "So, each method of ascension carries a certain risk. Their path is fixed, while ours is not, so we don’t know what changes we might encounter."
Xi Qianxue added: "The advantage is that they need fixed Law Crystals for ascension, while after reaching the eighth tier, any item containing laws can be used for insight and absorption, so the ascension speed is faster."
Du You shook his head and said: "No, actually, their method is faster, and they have more ways to improve. However, our path with conventional means is the fastest, without needing external forces like faith for support, and without being influenced by other forces. It is the most stable at its foundation, but it is easy to veer off track if not careful."
People at the seventh tier might not know this, but having reached the eighth tier, Du You had already heard from others.
In fact, many at the eighth tier can no longer progress because their paths are too deviant. This kind of professional who cannot advance further due to veering off the path is second only to those who cannot advance because their foundation is unstable.
"So, when choosing your path in the future, you must understand clearly which route you want to take and not be blinded by immediate benefits."
"Hmph, of course, we know. With you as our example, we won’t make mistakes," Li Mengyao rolled her eyes.
"Alright, alright, let’s quickly congratulate them, we can’t fall behind," Xi Qianxue reminded.
Du You thought for a moment, then said: "No, there’s no need to congratulate. We have to participate in the battle afterward, so letting them know we’ve reached the eighth tier is enough. Although there are many, someone has already stepped forward."
As he spoke, Du You also released his aura, slightly altering his origin to mimic the Death Laws. Having already integrated the Death Laws himself, the imitation was quite easy. This was not just realistic, but actually an aspect of Du You’s own aura, indistinguishable from those Death Gods.
This astonished this world’s Death Gods. Du You hadn’t been in closed-door cultivation for advancement; he was always outside helping. Although Du You’s aura was indeed special, they never imagined he could ascend.
This time, Du You suddenly ascended to the eighth tier, startling a group of people. Subsequently, two more forces ascended on Du You’s side, and the Death Gods exchanged glances, unsure of how to react.
"Let’s congratulate them anyway. A main god-level entity is completely different from us. In the future, we will have no power to resist. Three eighth-tier beings—who knows how the world’s situation will change then?" For origınal chapters go to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Beside him, another Death God also spoke: "At least, in terms of the current situation, it is a good thing. Since Your Majesty Anyin has reached the eighth tier, even if the other eighth-tier Death Gods perish, they should be able to revive again."
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Yes, eighth-tier beings who can resurrect without limitation are indeed a crucial power in this world. This way, not only are our world’s constraints lifted, but we can also progress steadily. According to the accumulation of our world over the years, there might indeed be a chance to advance further in the future, and our position will naturally rise as well.
Even Hell did not become so strong initially; it advanced step by step.
Thinking of this, the Death Gods’ mindset recovered. Of course, there were still concerns in their hearts because several powerful eighth-tier beings gathered. Who knows what will happen here once the Demons are expelled.
Not just these seventh-tier beings, but even the newly ascended eighth-tier Death Gods, after a brief pause, sent signals of congratulations to Du You.
In the upcoming battle, if they unfortunately get killed, they can rely on him for resurrection. Although they might be able to resurrect on their own, it would take a long time, and recovery would take even longer.
For the sake of both the world and themselves, it’s best to make friendly relations with the existence of Du You moving forward.
In the following period, eighth-tier beings emerged continually. Aside from the three on Du You’s side, an additional four people broke through to the eighth tier on the other side.
A total of eight people were bestowed with hope; only half succeeded in breaking through. Fortunately, there was good news from Du You’s side, and our world now has seven eighth-tier existences, which is already a very good result.
Though there remains some regret, it’s already quite impressive. Among the four Death Gods who failed to advance, the origin of three was damaged, losing the potential for further progress. The other had slightly better luck, but it’s unclear how long it will take to recover.
As they progressed to the eighth tier, the world’s upper limit stabilized further, and the last constraint disappeared.
Perhaps, this world’s last constraint was actually to gain the final opportunity for the world.
Once this last bit of power dissipated, the mightiest passage suddenly expanded dramatically, swallowing more than half of the sea on that side. At this moment, the Death Gods finally knew where the largest Demon tunnel was.
But now it was too late; on the other side of the tunnel, a surge of chaotic and evil aura suddenly emerged. The eighth-tier Demon Emperor finally landed in this world.
No, it wasn’t just one. More followed. These Demons were quite experienced with such worlds, probably knowing that one alone was insufficient. However, the first to emerge was a Horned Demon.
