Chapter 652 The War Continues

Tenth Realm, Sixth Heaven Fist Dao 40% Heavenly Dao Fruit—this is Li An's current apparent realm.Beneath the surface lies the power of the heavens, the power of the three divine realms, the ultimate fist Dao, divinity, dreams, and a super engine called Supreme.Li An's talent runes have merged into three, so divinity, dreams, and even the power of the divine realm are all driven by martial intent, but the final effect is still the power of laws and spirit.A problem arises.Li An finds that his engine is a bit insufficient.Simultaneously stacking the power of spirit, laws, and martial intent to their maximum multiplier is pushing the engine to its limits.However, this extreme mode is generally unnecessary. His instant kill of the King was purely a display of skill; in reality, operating at 70% is more than enough.The only way to improve engine efficiency was originally to break through realms.Because his Dao Fruit is the Fist Dao Fruit, the amount of martial intent he can draw upon will increase exponentially with each upgrade.However, after defeating King Che, Li An essentially had two engines, so he wouldn't lack momentum.The Unharmed Heavenly Divine Power was indeed monstrous; it accepted all power of any attribute and could convert it into martial intent.The Supreme Power was the main engine, while the Unharmed Heavenly Divine Power was the secondary engine.One activated proactively, the other activated when attacked.The only problem was why it couldn't convert into Sequence Zero power.When his Sequence 1 Heavenly Warfire struck King Che, the martial intent he converted was all Sequence Zero.He himself could only convert into power of the same quality as the Heavenly Warfire, Sequence 0.5.But the Destruction and Annihilation Heavenly Divine Power from the Underworld Emperor remained Sequence Zero power.Watching the rapidly disappearing Celestial mechanical army, Li An thought that perhaps it was because the Unharmed Heavenly Divine Power itself didn't possess the ability to convert into Sequence Zero power.It only possessed the rules of endurance and conversion; Sequence Zero martial intent was King Che's own ability, and he would have to wait until his own Heavenly Martial Intent also advanced to Sequence Zero before he could convert it.Previously, Li An didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the difference between sequence 0 and 1.Although he possessed the power of the God of Destruction, this power couldn't be stacked with the Supreme Rune at the time, so it was just a powerful skill for clearing mobs, primarily relying on the infinitely stacked Martial Intent.Now, the power of the God of Destruction can also be stacked with the Supreme Rune, and only then does the difference in strength between 0 and 1 finally become apparent.Both powers have a 3600x multiplier.The destructive power of the God of Destruction is slightly stronger than Supreme Martial Intent.Slightly stronger—it might not sound like much, but in reality, it's like an insurmountable chasm, always putting you one step behind.No matter how Li An uses his Martial Intent, at the same multiplier, it will always be a step below the power of the God of Destruction.Li An smiled bitterly.His martial arts seemed to be constantly being surpassed, inexplicably relegated to the second tier.But those seemingly superior powers were all unleashed with his fists.Li An understood the difference in importance.Faced with imminent death, only one's own son would risk everything to protect them.However, it was fortunate. His martial intent sequence was 1 before, 0.6 after activating the Heavenly Power, and 0.5 after devouring the King of Destruction. This meant that as the number of gods he hunted increased, breaking through to sequence zero was only a matter of time.How much time had passed, the light of day rose on the horizon.The sun shone brightly on the earth, and all things revived.The golden sea of ​​lightning gradually faded.The 2 million-strong mechanical army was annihilated. Since Li An's arrival, not a single person had sacrificed their life on this defensive line.They sat atop flying swords floating among the clouds, witnessing the young supreme being vanquish all enemies.At the moment the sun rose, the disciples of the Immortal Realm felt their vision blur, and many even had cloudy eyes.Is it over?Have we won?Li An suddenly appeared before them like lightning, proclaiming loudly, "Those who can still fight, come with me to the 16 states to provide support!"It's not over yet.The seventeen states were over, but the immortal sects in other states were still bleeding, and the lives of our compatriots were still being lost.The brief sadness subsided, and the will to fight surged again. Countless flying swords traversed mountains and seas, carrying cultivators to distant lands they would likely never set foot in, to rescue their fellow immortals.Along the way, Li An couldn't help but ask Yi Shanxing, "I remember not all immortal cultivators are sword cultivators, right? How come it seems like all of you can fly on swords?"Before Yi Shanxing could answer, his disciple Lin Xuan excitedly exclaimed, "Isn't the purpose of cultivating immortality to fly on swords?""Can someone who can't fly on a sword even be called an immortal?!"Many disciples of various sects were once mortals, their yearning for the immortal path stemming from the occasional immortal flying overhead.Flying on a sword was the dream of everyone in the immortal realm.Even alchemists had to know how, otherwise, the path of immortality would be meaningless.Every immortal disciple clearly remembered the image of first reaching the required cultivation level, leaping high into the air atop a simple flying sword.Many sects also have ascension ceremonies. Young disciples watch from the ground, while elders escort those about to ascend.The young disciples watch their senior brothers leap high, their eyes filled with reverence and envy.The elders fly alongside them on swords, bathed in the sunlight and gentle breeze atop the endless sea of ​​clouds.The elders see the magnificent landscapes of the immortal realm, and a reflection of their younger selves.The young senior brothers, high in the clouds, are filled with excitement, finally understanding the meaning of immortality.Unbound by gods or demons, they roam freely between heaven and earth.Li An doesn't understand any of this; he's like a super jet fighter cutting through the sea of ​​clouds.The immortal disciples hear the roar of his martial spirit and Li An's clear voice: "I'll go first." Having fought since childhood, Li An understands one thing:He can't let the immortal disciples behind him stop.Everyone is currently in a state of high excitement, their adrenaline levels soaring, suppressing many emotions.Once they stop, sorrow will surge forth, and they will completely lose their morale and will to fight. But the war wasn't over yet; the Celestial Realm still needed them to fight.Therefore, they needed to press on and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.Li An connected his spiritual power to the Star Platform, opening the Celestial Realm's star map, where energy fluctuation maps of the 20 continents appeared.Aside from the clash between the strongest in the heavens, he locked onto the region with the largest energy fluctuations in the world.Good heavens.While he was fighting against King Che, the Celestial Realm made another major move.A massive move.They deployed nine towering pillars to the Celestial Realm, their purpose being to absorb fortune. The nine pillars covered 95% of the Celestial Realm, continuously absorbing the fortune of various regions, and they were connected to nine of the Celestial Commanders currently fighting in the heavens.The situation looked rather dire.
