Chapter 481: Changes in the Divine Realm, Life Stages

Everyone is working hard.Li An, naturally, won't fall behind.To be honest,Sometimes he feels he's pushing too hard.At best, he's in his early twenties now.He's in the seventh realm, close to the eighth.This level of progress, in the past, would have been rare in a century, or even a millennium.Now, batches of people are filling the Holy Temples and Divine Pavilions, like mass-produced goods.Not to mention, this realm is worthy of the Dao Fruit.And more!This person is about to enter the Divine Realm.If Lin Ruyu reaches the Divine Realm today, she will be the youngest and most extraordinary Divine Realm in history!No one else!These things can't be delved into; the more you think about them, the more terrifying they become.How huge is the storm brewing between heaven and earth?Every race in the universe, across all the heavens and worlds, has brought all their resources to bear, just to fight against that storm. Everyone in the Cultivation Temple has reached their current strength thanks to the vast resources they've been fed.Li An is currently at 69% of the Seventh Stage.Zhao Shaolong and the others seem to be over 95% and on their way to the Eighth Stage.I dread to imagine what the situation will be like in two years.Suddenly...Li An turned to look at the vast ruins behind him.Dense green light patterns appeared around the outer edge of the massive black pyramid, emitting a mysterious source of Dao energy.Li An was stunned.This can't be my fault.I've already escaped. You've generated this source of Dao energy on your own.Suddenly, the Star Platform in Li An's hand vibrated.Frost Snow sent a message."Come in, Lin Ruyu is almost there. If you can absorb the remaining source of Dao energy, I'll give it all to you."Li An, surprised, walked inside.The rich source of Dao energy surged into his Dao Fruit.On the altar, Lin Ruyu remained cross-legged, but his body was suspended in mid-air. Her aura had undergone a drastic change, emanating a sense of pressure.This is the Divine Realm!Li An's eyes were solemn.The opponent's aura overwhelmed him.Seven days and seven nights.A third-rank Elementalist had soared to the top of this ruins.He looked at Shuangxue.Shuangxue said seriously, "Without using my Heavenly Remnant Technique, it's a 50-50 match at best."Outrageous!Although Lin Ruyu had entered the Divine Realm, her Dao Fruit was still only at the First Heaven level.Frostxue was at the Second Heaven level, and a Heavenly Remnant.Is this the power afforded by the Divine Realm?How does a 50-50 match compare to Frostxue's normal level?None of Ghost Lord's group could defeat Lin Ruyu!If Shuangxue is the contemporary leader,then Lin Ruyu could essentially share the position of the contemporary second-ranked leader with Hades.Although Hades was at the Third Heaven level,he wasn't a Heavenly Remnant, nor did he possess Heavenly Remnant Techniques, so he definitely couldn't defeat Shuangxue. This time... Li An and Zhao Shaolong were just little brothers. However, Lin Ruyu didn't get carried away. Still remembering Li An's kindness in protecting the Dao, she gave him all her excess Dao Source Qi. Then... The green light shone throughout the pyramid intensified. Lin Ruyu's body was engulfed in light, and Li An could no longer see clearly. He suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure. Wood elements from all directions rushed frantically towards the cafeteria, and indeed, into her body, like a swarm of students at the end of lunch. Li An's five senses were overwhelmed by the power, and he felt as if the entire world was shaking. The roaring sound continued for a long time. But the Dao Source Qi also surged wildly, rapidly sinking into Li An's body. The outline of his Dao Fruit solidified further. Everything before him became clearer. Lin Ruyu's clothes had disappeared, torn apart by the overwhelming force. Of course, he could see nothing but a ball of green light. She tilted her head back, stretched her limbs, enjoying the power surging within her. A distinct green diamond-shaped object floated between her eyebrows.In fact, Daoguo has another name.It's also the origin of the name of the Divine Realm.Godhead!In ancient times, untraceable, the Divine Realm reigned supreme over all the heavens.The most powerful within the Divine Realm were called gods. They cultivated godhead and entered the Divine Realm.Later, other races also cultivated to that level, but they didn't want to change the name, as it had become a habit.So, everyone referred to this realm as the Divine Realm.The fully formed Daoguo is also godhead.The dazzling light of the wood element slowly faded.A green robe gathered around Lin Ruyu. Her eyes were calm, and every gesture carried a hint of majesty.The surging tide of energy receded, and the world became quiet. All was going smoothly, and no one came to stop her from breaking through.Lin Ruyu slowly descended, her toes touching the ground. Li An asked curiously, "What does it feel like to be in the Divine Realm? What changes have occurred?"Lin Ruyu frowned slightly, pondering for a few seconds before speaking softly, her voice becoming even more ethereal."The biggest change is that I feel like there are so many more things in my mind, so many more lines.""Hmm?" Li An was surprised, a little confused.Lin Ruyu closed her eyes and demonstrated on the spot.She raised her hand and unleashed a Wood Elemental skill.Green light surged in her palm.In an instant, fifteen different skills materialized around her.Lin Ruyu whispered, "I can manipulate the Wood Element at will.""It's as if this element is an extension of my body.""I can unleash over a dozen skills simultaneously without feeling overwhelmed.""My brain has been upgraded, and I can multitask without feeling tired. This is what I meant by having so many more things in my mind."Li An's face was thoughtful.It seems that entering the Divine Realm is not just a transformation of power, but also a sublimation in other areas. Lin Ruyu possessed power several times greater than before, but she singled out the changes in her brain, suggesting they were truly remarkable."Is it like a life-level advancement?"Lin Ruyu nodded heavily, saying, "Yes, you're right.""I feel now that I'm no longer on the same level as the matter around me.""Everything seems so insignificant to me, like... ants."After saying the last two words, Lin Ruyu raised her head, her eyes becoming somewhat chilling.But then, her gaze shifted to a hint of confusion."But you two are different.""Your life-levels are surprisingly, it seems...""Sister Shuangxue's life-level is higher than mine!""Brother Li An's life-level is strange, sometimes high, sometimes low."Li An silently memorized the word "life-level" and would ask Liu Dahu about it when he got back.Suddenly...A hint of panic crossed Lin Ruyu's eyes."What's wrong?" Shuangxue frowned, a sense of foreboding rising within her."I feel like, I..." Lin Ruyu's voice suddenly cut off.Then, an old voice echoed in her mind."Miss Lin Ruyu, I am the master of the Hezong Alliance. Everyone calls me President.""If you want to know what happened to you, from now on, do everything I say."Lin Ruyu's pupils trembled for a moment.Had she become a god?No, she hadn't!There's no such thing as a free lunch.She had a fatal flaw.She had just used over a dozen skills, depleting some of the Wood Element within her.But she couldn't replenish it!From then until now, with the power of a god, she should have been able to reabsorb the energy she had used with a single breath.But she couldn't.It seemed as if that energy had vanished forever.Her mana bar was permanently missing a point.Use a little, and it's gone!But she couldn't tell Li An and Shuangxue these words.Literally. As soon as she said this, a mysterious force silenced her world.At that moment, she felt a pair of terrifying hands hovering above her head.Before those hands, she was nothing but a puppet.This feeling filled her with unprecedented fear."What's wrong?" Li An frowned.Lin Ruyu shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, get out."
