Chapter 831: Chapter 831
Inside the warship's resting room, Li Pin quietly sensed the changes within himself.
He had once experienced the state of being "blessed by fortune" in the Heavenly Prison World. But back then, that fortune came only from geniuses scattered across various places. Compared to the countless races in the entire universe, it was just a tiny fraction.
Right now, the fortune was still in its early fermentation stage. Li Pin could feel the changes brought by this fortune blessing him, but they were far from obvious.
After some thought, he took something out. It was the Heart of Space he had obtained after entrusting Ji Shun to sell several divine items.
"The Tyrant Realm... I've basically reached my limit now," muttered Li Pin. "Or rather, in every aspect, I'm already approaching the limit."
The Cosmic Radiance stage marked the beginning of the ultimate lifeform. Strictly speaking, the Tyrant stage should be called "Cosmic Radiance Tyrant."
Because the Tyrant stage brought a huge boost in attack power, it often gave the false impression that it was a higher realm than Cosmic Radiance. But the real transformation only happened during the Cosmic Radiance stage.
The Tyrant, Sacred Monarch, and Heavenly Emperor stages all developed powers based on the True Spirits of Cosmic Radiance. Once the use of these powers was fully developed, the cultivator's growth reached its peak.
Just like Li Pin, or any other Tyrant. When their energy intensity and level hit the peak, they rely entirely on secret arts, cultivation methods, combat techniques, and divine weapons to widen the gap.
Right now, his secret arts, cultivation methods, combat techniques, and divine weapons were all perfect.
Li Pin silently thought. As for external tools, I could push toward Supreme Divine Weapons, but I've never liked using external objects. The only reason I use the Ruoxi Sword is that I need this Sovereign Divine Weapon to create the Eternal Swordlight. So now, the only direction left for me to advance is clear: comprehend the laws of space.
Matter and energy need space to exist. My Great Dao Radiance can already convert matter and energy at will. With space as the carrier... I can create a universe similar to the Supreme one's.
Li Pin understood this clearly.
But compared to the Supremes, if he only comprehended space without understanding time, it would take an unimaginably long time to build his universe to a comparable scale. Only by mastering time and using it to drive the evolution of mass and energy could his strength leap forward.
By then, once he broke through the Astral World, he would truly possess the power of the Supreme, not just a power comparable to it. No, it might not stop at simply Supreme!
"There's still some way to go," Li Pin muttered.
He still needed to solve the problem of spatial power.
He thought of the Sacred Monarch of the Sky Clan. If I could grasp the laws of space, I should be able to recreate the scene of sweeping all races in the Prodigy Competition during the Overlord Competition. And only by sweeping all races in the Overlord Competition would this achievement be truly complete.
While prodigies from other races often get stuck for a time at the stages of space or time law comprehension, the Sky Clan was naturally gifted with spatial talent. Though breaking through to the Sacred Monarch stage in one epoch was rare, it wasn't unheard of. With their innate spatial gifts...
If Li Pin could actually fight that Sacred Monarch of the Sky Clan to the death, and with fortune now gathering around him, he might truly have a chance to glimpse the ultimate secrets of space.
Li Pin made up his mind. Tomorrow... I'll put the Scorching Flame matters aside and focus all my effort on facing that Sacred Monarch of the Sky Clan.
While Li Pin was preparing to dominate the Overlord Competition, news of his sweeping victory over all races in the Prodigy Competition quickly spread throughout the Human Race.
In past years, human factions and nations only selectively broadcast the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War. They focused on covering events where humans won, while downplaying those that hurt human morale.
But this time... Li Pin single-handedly swept through the Prodigy Competition, slaughtering almost every alien prodigy who dared defy human will. This crushed the wavering, fence-sitting aliens, forcing them to bow to humanity. Such thrilling news couldn't be ignored.
Not only that! It had to be broadcast loudly and clearly!
The Supreme Council's propaganda department immediately ordered the Homo Sapien Alliance to spread the news. The Homo Sapien Alliance then quickly passed it to every star abyss and star domain within human territory. From there, the news reached every star cluster, star system, empire, and faction.
Unlike the Astral World, information transmission in the cosmic starfield was extremely convenient. Coupled with the Homo Sapien Alliance's control over local forces, the news reached every star system-level unit within human territory in less than a day.
If star system-level units reacted , major factions, like the Four Seasons Hall, Humanity Sanctum, Divine Treasury Hall, and Yuan Yang Star Domain, were even more stirred.
These powerful factions and regions, where Li Pin had once left his mark, erupted in celebration upon hearing the news.
The rulers of Yuan Yang Star Domain—Gaia, the Xuan Clan, and the Si Clan, immediately declared a grand celebration.
Countless families and estates announced massive feasts to mark the occasion.
In the Divine Treasury Hall, Astral God Mu Hai read the news with deep emotion.
"The first time I saw Li Pin in the Void Divine Treasury Hall, I already sensed his limitless potential. Back then, I thought he was destined to reach the Cosmic Radiance Realm. But I never expected he would come this far, and so quickly, achieving such a level and sweeping the prodigies of the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War. Recommending him to join the Humanity Sanctum was the best choice I ever made."
Within the Humanity Sanctum, Yun Lai, Wang Fuyun, Yu Xuexian, and the others couldn't hold back their cheers.
"I knew it! Ever since the Heavenly Prison World, I knew he was bound to soar! And now, he's done it."
"He represents our Human Race in the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War and dominates the arena! I never even dreamed this could happen, yet our Hall Master... he actually did it!"
"Long live the Hall Master!"
Not far from their living quarters, Luo Shenxi, the one who topped the Humanity Sanctum's World Glory List but didn't even qualify for the Ten Thousand Tribes Prodigy Competition, listened quietly to the cheers from afar. She remained silent for a long time.
At that instant, she realized that in this lifetime, she probably would never catch up to Li Pin's pace.
Laughter, cheers, and sighs of amazement echoed through every corner of the Human Race.
Although Li Pin had only been cultivating for a little over three hundred years, his name was already well known. Early on, the incident involving the Black Abyss Highlord in the Heavenly Prison World, along with the Supreme Seed title he had held for nearly a decade, made him well known to many.
At this moment, everyone, regardless of whether they knew him or not, greeted him warmly.
After all, Li Pin's overwhelming victories had served humanity's interests, boosting their reputation across the vast universe and spreading the name of the Human Race. He was a figure who brought benefits to all humanity. In such a situation, anyone who still considered themselves human couldn't possibly spoil the mood.
As for the few troublemakers... in a world ruled by overwhelming strength, there was simply no place for them to survive.
The Human Race's celebration had already begun.
Though the peak was still some time away, billions of humans praised Li Pin's name, sincerely recognizing his achievements and offering their congratulations. As a result, the collective fortune of the entire Human Race naturally began to rise and gather around him.
The momentum was building. Fortune was gathering. Though it would take time for this fortune to fully show its power, at least it had already started.
The Divine Martial Emperor had instructed early on for the various departments to spread the stories of Li Pin's deeds, hoping this day would arrive sooner.
Ideally... before the final decisive battle, Li Pin would be able to rely on this rising fortune to make another breakthrough in cultivation.
Time flowed on. A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, fleets of warships once again appeared above the Weeping Emperor Battlefield. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIꜰire.net
Compared to the Prodigy Competition, the atmosphere of the Overlord Competition felt much heavier.
In the past, the Prodigy Competition was just a warm-up; the real, serious matters were always decided through the Overlord Competition.
But this time... the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations involved the vital interests of every race. No one knew what consequences implementing the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations would bring. It might even severely damage a Sovereign Race's core strength. Under such pressure, everyone was on high alert.
The Divine Martial Emperor called out as he watched the figure step off the warship, "Li Pin."
Standing beside him were the Heavenly Emperors who had arrived early.
At this moment, the contestants, especially their trump card, Li Pin, carried even more weight than the Heavenly Emperors themselves. They would rather arrive early and wait for him than make him wait.
"Very good," Li Pin said, his gaze fixed on the distance.
With his arrival, many alien Tyrants competing in the Overlord Competition turned their eyes toward him.
Top-tier races were expected, but the Divine Race, the Sky Clan, the Demon Race, the Unique Lifeform Alliance, and several others all openly showed murderous intent.
Amid this hostile atmosphere, Li Pin clearly felt a burning heat stir deep within his inner spirit. He couldn't help but add, "Very good."
The Divine Martial Emperor nodded. "That's good."
He understood Li Pin's character well and no longer tried to offer caution. Instead, he said, "Though these words might seem ill-timed, I must say them again... come back alive."
Li Pin smiled at the emperor. "I'll come back alive, with victory."
The Divine Martial Emperor was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, with victory."
At that moment, Divine Emperor Yuan Jie of the Chaos Clan rose into the air again to deliver the opening speech for the Ten Thousand Tribes Overlord Competition.
Seeing this, the Divine Martial Emperor no longer hesitated. Encouraging Li Pin, Yue Shu, and Xuan Chengming, he said, "Go. After all these years of preparation, it's finally time to put your skills to the test. Show the universe's races the invincible power of our human prodigies!"
