"Bang!" As soon as Michelle walked out of the tunnel, she was hit by a sharp blade energy before she could react. Her God Body was severely injured.
"A God?" The attacker was surprised.
"Highgod!" Michelle was shocked.
"Looks like you are very strong. You actually passed the fourteenth level. Although Morpheus is only a God, his talent isn't weak. Even I would have to expend some effort to kill him.”The one who spoke was a handsome young man.
"It seems you haven't fused any profound mysteries.”Michelle smiled. The other party was not as scary as he had imagined.
What made Highgods stronger than ordinary Gods was their souls, their divine bodies, their divine power, their domains, and their profound mysteries.
Those who were able to become Highgods were all those who had completely comprehended the profound mysteries of a single Law. However, whether it was a God or a Highgod, when they hadn't fused the profound mysteries of the Laws, their attacks would all contain a single profound mystery of the Laws. This resulted in ordinary Highgods not being much stronger than Gods or even Demigods in terms of pure profound mysteries. Even if they were stronger, they would only be slightly stronger.
The profound mysteries of the Laws were divided into different levels. For example, the Essence of Fire in the Elemental Laws of Fire was a relatively low-level profound mystery, and was the easiest to learn. The Profound Mystery of Explosion was different. It was a relatively high-level profound mystery. Not only was it extremely difficult to comprehend, but it was also much more powerful than ordinary profound mysteries of the Laws. Thus, because Highgods had completely comprehended profound mysteries, they were superior to Demigods and Gods in terms of advanced profound mysteries. However, there would be exceptions. For example, there would be some extremely talented individuals who would be able to comprehend a high-level profound mystery at the Demigod or God level. This would allow them to be no weaker than Highgods in terms of pure profound mysteries.
Thus, what made ordinary Highgods truly stronger than ordinary Gods wasn't the profound mysteries of the Laws, but rather their divine power, their souls, and their domains. It must be understood that Gods could fuse profound mysteries of Laws, and the fused profound mysteries were far more powerful than a single profound mystery. This made up for the difference between Gods and Highgods, allowing Gods to have the possibility of surpassing ordinary Highgods.
Generally speaking, the difference between an ordinary God who hadn't fused any profound mysteries and an ordinary Highgod who hadn't fused any profound mysteries was ten times that of an ordinary Highgod. And after fusing two profound mysteries, the power of the fused profound mysteries was ten times that of a single profound mystery. This allowed a God who had fused two profound mysteries to have an offensive power that wasn't inferior to an ordinary Highgod. Similarly, a God who had fused three profound mysteries was already comparable to a Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries.
Of course, the enormous increase in power also determined the difficulty of fusing profound mysteries. The difficulty of fusing two profound mysteries was no less than mastering all the profound mysteries of a single Law. It was basically ten times more difficult than comprehending a single profound mystery.
In the material plane, Saints would have problems comprehending a single profound mystery and becoming Deities, much less fusing one. And in the Higher Planes and Divine Planes, although there were quite a few Deities, going from a Demigod to a God, and then from a God to a Highgod, was like a pyramid. The higher one went, the harder it was. Gods were still fine. Generally speaking, after a long period of time, quite a few Demigods would be able to gain insights into a second profound mystery and become Gods. However, becoming a Highgod wasn't easy. One needed to completely comprehend all of the profound mysteries of a single type of Law. It would be fine if one had talent, but if one didn't, they wouldn't be able to gain a basic understanding of an unfamiliar profound mystery for trillions of years. As a result, ninety percent of the Highgods of the Higher Planes and Divine Planes became Highgods through fusing with divine sparks.
As for those who truly had talent, perseverance, and were able to train independently to become Highgods, how many of them had the consciousness, patience, and talent to resist the temptation of becoming a Highgod and continuously fuse profound mysteries? Very few!
Whether it was the Divine Plane or the Higher Planes, they were all filled with danger. As long as one had the ability or talent, which one of them wouldn't want to become a Highgod as soon as possible and obtain some power to protect themselves? Even if there were some geniuses who weren't in danger of surviving under the protection of their clans, the difficulty of fusing the profound mysteries of the Laws meant that this path was destined to be very difficult.
In the countless material planes, the Higher Planes, and the Divine Planes, it was already very rare for a God to be able to fuse two profound mysteries of a Law. It was extremely rare for a God to be able to fuse three. As for those who had fused four profound mysteries and had yet to break through to become a Highgod, they were even rarer. As for those who had fused five profound mysteries, there probably wasn't even a single God who was close to becoming a Paragon.
Fusing profound mysteries at the God level truly had its advantages, but its flaws were also very obvious. That was the strength of the soul. The strength of the soul also determined the speed at which the user comprehended the profound mysteries of the Laws. The strength of a God's soul was extremely limited. Even with the supply of countless amethysts, they could at most increase the strength of an ordinary Highgod's soul. However, whether it was amethysts or Golden Soul-Beads, these things that increased and replenished the power of the soul were not so easy to obtain.
Thus, this resulted in even those who had great patience, great willpower, and outstanding talent, who continuously fused profound mysteries at the God level, discovering that the time they spent was even longer than when they were Highgods. In the end, they had no choice but to break through to become Highgods.
Perhaps fusing five profound mysteries at the God level was relatively easy, and he had only spent a hundred million years to accomplish it. However, the final step of fusing six profound mysteries and succeeding had taken him hundreds of billions of years, but he still hadn't succeeded. And the person who had become a Highgod was a commander who had fused five profound mysteries. This sort of enormous difference wasn't something that anyone could endure.
The God stage was indeed the best stage for fusing profound mysteries, but at the same time, compared to a Highgod, the further one advanced, the greater the difference.
"Even if I haven't fused a profound mystery, it won't be difficult to kill you.”The young man's expression turned cold as he slashed out a wind blade with one hand.
He, Qilnos, had been a prodigy to begin with. Without anyone's guidance, he had spent thirty million years to train from a Demigod to a Highgod. He had gradually led a small tribe in the Divine Wind Plane into a large tribe that spanned a million kilometers. However, as he came into contact with more and more things, and only after he joined the army did he learn that profound mysteries could be fused, especially at the God level. Fusing profound mysteries was relatively easy. This made him, who had always been proud of his talent and cultivation speed, suffer a blow.
After that, after hundreds of millions of years of training, he still hadn't been able to fuse the profound mysteries of the Laws, and he had suffered an unprecedented blow. This made him realize that his talent wasn't as good as he had imagined. Although he had been able to use thirty million years to train from a Demigod to a Highgod without anyone's guidance, his talent had already surpassed ninety percent of the people in the divine plane. After all, ninety percent of the Highgods in the divine plane had become Highgods by fusing with divine sparks. However, compared to those true top figures, he was far inferior and not worth mentioning.
After that, he trained for another ten billion years. During these long years of training, he still hadn't made any progress or breakthrough in fusing profound mysteries. It was during these long years that he had experienced many things, and had even become a Windhunter. A Windhunter of the fourth rank had made a name for himself in some small places. However, none of them made him feel satisfied until he accidentally learned a piece of news from hell.
In a material plane known as the Yulan Plane, a Necropolis of the Gods had appeared. There were Sovereign weapons and even Sovereign sparks there.
Sovereigns were high and mighty existences that were hard to come across. A Sovereign weapon and its power were legendary existences. It was said that once one possessed it, even the high and mighty rank 7 Wind Hunters, or even the Lord Prefect and Commander, would be able to challenge it. As for Sovereign sparks, that was the only way to become a Sovereign!
Over the long years, Zyrnos had also come to understand some things that ordinary Gods didn't know. Sovereigns weren't born, and they weren't even cultivated into Sovereigns. Some early Highgods had obtained Sovereign sparks by luck, and only became Sovereigns after refining them. A Sovereign spark signified the position of a Sovereign.
Zyrnos was moved. His heart, which had been silent for countless years, trembled. Afterward, he spent all of his savings and teleported from the Divine Wind Plane to the material plane of the Yulan continent.
However, after arriving there, he realized that he had been wrong. Although he was a Highgod, compared to the other experts who had also arrived in the Yulan continent, he was nothing. Although he didn't know how much better they were compared to those Demigods and Gods, he knew that those people were only servants brought by top-notch Highgods.
A terrifying battle erupted. It was also at that moment that he once again felt how weak he was. He had already fused a profound mystery, and the terror of a supreme expert, especially that person who called himself Beirut, the Sovereign's Emissary. A black staff swept across, and no one could withstand the opponent's attack.
God corpses fell like rain. Among them, there were some that he had seen before, and some that he had never seen but heard of. These were all experts who had been at the pinnacle of power, whether in his original Divine Wind Plane or in the other Higher Planes and Divine Planes. All of them had died to Beirut's staff.
One of them was an expert from the Infernal Realm, the Bloodviolet Fiend. This Seven Star Fiend was so famous that even he had heard of him in the Divine Wind Plane. He was actually such a supreme expert, but he was actually unable to block Beirut's staff strike. This made Zilnos realize how terrifying Beirut was.
And then, he, who had luckily escaped death, was captured by Beirut and thrown into the Necropolis of the Gods, who had even given him some rules.
It had been five thousand years since he had been locked up in this place, and he had yet to see the challenger that Lord Beirut spoke of. If it wasn't for the fact that he could occasionally communicate with the guardians of the other levels, he would have thought that no one had ever entered.
However, when he received the news, he was also greatly disappointed. The people who had come were actually Saints and Demigods. Such a weak existence simply made Qilnos feel more anger and despair than ridicule.
Perhaps the Overgod had opened his eyes. Someone had actually entered the fifteenth floor today, and it was even a God. It was as if Zyrnos had seen hope for freedom.
However, before he could unleash his might, the other party's words had already angered him.
The fusion of profound mysteries had always been a pain in his heart, and the other party's words had undoubtedly poked at his sore spot. At the same time, his opponent's arrogance infuriated him. He didn't believe that a mere God like him would be able to fuse profound mysteries of the Laws.
However, the next moment, he realized that he was really wrong.
A terrifying power exploded forth the moment his opponent closed in on him. This was an attack that contained the essence of divine power and the profound mysteries of the Laws. And these profound mysteries were so special that he, who had experienced countless years, was able to immediately sense that they contained two types of profound mysteries. An attack that contained two types of profound mysteries. There was no doubt that this was the fusion of profound mysteries.
However, the fusion seemed to be incomplete. Even so, it was enough to shock and make Qilnos jealous.
"Haha, you want to challenge me with just your incomplete profound mysteries? You must be dreaming. Today, I'll let you experience the difference between a Highgod and a God.”Zilnos laughed loudly, and a strange pressure descended, enveloping Michelle.
"God Domain!" Michelle's face turned ugly. All this while, he had been using this technique to suppress those weaker than him. Now, even a Highgod was using this technique to deal with him.
"Humph!" Michelle snorted coldly, and then a strange pressure was released, trying to resist the opponent's God Domain.
"The domain of a God. Ridiculous." Sensing Michelle's resistance, Qilnos sneered.
However, in the next moment, his expression changed.
"Buzz!" After Michelle's domain spread out, another Godrealm spread out, but it was much weaker. However, this wasn't important. What was important was that these two Godrealms had actually stacked together.
Immediately, Michelle's Godrealm's power increased greatly, and she actually managed to forcibly create a world within the Highgod's domain. The domain no longer had much of a restriction on Michelle.
"You actually have a divine clone." Qilnos said with an ugly expression.
"Looks like I have no choice but to use divine power to fight. He used the Demigod power of his divine water clone.”Although the two Heavenly Domains had neutralized most of the power of the opponent's Domain, his movements were still restricted. After all, one of his domains belonged to a God, while the other belonged to a Demigod.
Blue sword light flashed, but the profound mysteries contained within it clashed with the divine power. This caused the originally powerful fused profound mysteries to be greatly reduced, only sixty percent of their original power. Even so, it still shocked Qilnos.
"Bang!" After blocking Michelle's attack, Zilnos actually retreated a few steps.
"Your shen power!" Sensing the powerful attack power contained in the other party's divine power, Zyrnos 'expression changed again and again.
"As expected, after the hundredfold amplification, a Demigod is already comparable to a Highgod.”Michelle confirmed her guess. Then, ignoring the other party's shock, his body moved and once again entangled with the other party.
"Although I don't know what kind of innate ability this is, do you think you can defeat me like this?”After all, he was an expert who had experienced many years. After recovering from his shock, he quickly regained his composure. He sneered at Michelle's pestering.
"Sizzle ~" A green light was faintly discernible as a saber descended from the sky. Wherever it passed, a pitch-black crack appeared in space.
"Kacha!" Michelle quickly used her sword to block the fierce blade, but something unexpected happened.
The moment the Deep Blue Divine Sword touched his opponent's battle blade, the sword that Michelle had painstakingly forged and nurtured, and that had been with him for many years, shattered.
Not only that, the moment the divine sword shattered, a greyish green light entered Michelle's body through his arm, and then rushed towards Michelle's mind.
Under the soul crystal, neither Michelle's divine fire clone nor her water clone could stop the unfathomable gray-green light in time. They could only watch as the gray-green light tore a path through the sea of spiritual energy, reaching their souls.
"Block it, block it!" Michelle felt her soul throb violently. She frantically tried to use her spiritual energy to extinguish the greenish-gray light.
Rumble! His Psychic Energy began to shake violently. However, he had just become a God not long ago, and he had also trained in a divine water-type clone. His soul had been split into two, so both his soul and Psychic Energy were slightly weaker than ordinary Gods. This was only because he had slaughtered Saints and even Deities along the way, using a cheat to absorb souls, allowing him to recover. Against a Highgod's attack, it wasn't enough.
"Ah!" A pain that almost wanted to kill Michelle suddenly came. At this moment, Michelle felt as if her soul was about to be destroyed.
Fortunately, his opponent hadn't fused any profound mysteries, and his soul attacks were only at the most basic level of a Highgod. He was only relying on the soul power of a Highgod and the soul attacks of a single profound mystery to attack. Michelle's original body and two divine clones were present, and she had fused her spiritual force and spiritual force together. Coupled with her cheat that granted her partial immunity to soul attacks, she was finally able to withstand the opponent's soul attack. Even so, the opponent's soul attack was enough to cause Michelle's soul to tremble.
"As expected of a Highgod." Michelle said with a pale face.
"What a powerful soul defense!" Seeing that Michelle did not fall, Qilnos was shocked again. "Now, I've changed my mind. As long as you sign a contract with me and become my slave, I won't kill you.”At this moment, Qilnos had already regarded Michelle as some kind of divine beast with a unique innate ability.
"Ridiculous." Michelle decided not to hold back anymore. A Highgod who had lived for who knows how many years, who knew what other tricks he had up his sleeve. In addition, the other party actually wanted to enslave her. How could Michelle endure this?
"What a pity." The sword light lit up again, but this time it was red. Moreover, the attack power contained in it was deeply shocking.
"Rumble!" This dimensional space created by a Sovereign was much more stable than a material plane. Under Michelle's divine power and the attacks of the profound mysteries of the Laws, it was actually torn apart, revealing a spatial rift that was over a thousand meters wide.
"Impossible!" Zilnos cried out in shock. He quickly raised his defense and moved quickly.
"Rumble!" Countless volcano phantoms appeared on the sword light, and a violent and terrifying aura that almost broke through the sky spread out.
"Volcanoes are the purest products of nature. They bear the wrath of the earth and contain the might of heaven and earth.”Michelle suddenly understood.
"Boom!" Countless volcano phantoms suddenly merged into one, turning into a real existence. A shocking aura instantly erupted.
The sword light swept past, and spatial cracks spread out. Finally, at the end, it suddenly exploded. Immediately, a huge black hole appeared in the space of the fifteenth level.
"What a strong suction force." Michelle's face changed, and she quickly moved away from the black hole. At the black hole, one could see the colorful spatial turbulence.
Soon, under the laws of the world and a strange power, all the cracks and black holes in this space were repaired. The entire space returned to peace, but there was only one person left.
"You attacked too heavily. A Highgod spark was gone just like that.”Michelle said regretfully. There was a green ring on his finger.
Just now, Michelle's furious sword attack, coupled with her sudden breakthrough, had fused the two profound mysteries of the Laws of Fire, the Magma and the Explosions, causing the power of this sword attack to rise once more. The opponent no longer had any chance of resisting or escaping, and was directly smashed into pieces by Michelle's terrifying sword attack. Even his divine spark was sucked into chaotic space by the black hole. Only the ring on his finger was sent flying. Before it could be sucked away by the black hole, Michelle had used her divine power to hook it over.
"The sixteenth level is most likely a Highgod who has fused a profound mystery. It's just that I don't know how many profound mysteries he has fused. The eighteenth floor was a place where the corpses of the Four Divine Beasts were placed. There were no guardians. Then, there were only people left on the sixteenth and seventeenth floors. Bluefire had been able to break through in the Necropolis of the Gods, which meant that he might have encountered an expert who had fused many profound mysteries, or even an Asura expert. In that case, of the remaining two floors, the sixteenth floor should be occupied by a Highgod who had fused at least two profound mysteries, or perhaps even three or four. It's too dangerous." Michelle calculated, and suddenly had the intention to retreat.
A Highgod who hadn't fused any profound mysteries was already so troublesome to deal with. It could be said that a Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries didn't have any chance of winning. Perhaps he could rely on the hundredfold increase in divine power of a God, as well as the fused profound mysteries, to fight against his opponent in terms of material attacks. But in terms of soul attacks, Michelle could only admit defeat.
There was nothing she could do about it. Even an ordinary Highgod's soul attack was barely enough to block it. An attack from a Highgod who had fused a profound mystery would be difficult to block. If the opponent had fused a profound mystery of the soul, then the soul attack would be even more terrifying. Most likely, Michelle would be finished in just one exchange.
"Let's stop while we're ahead." Michelle thought about it and found a flat area to rest.
"I wonder if this interspatial ring will be a surprise. After all, he's a Highgod.”Michelle, who was feeling relaxed, started to look at her harvest.
"Beep." Very quickly, Michelle made the space ring recognize her as its owner, and then she used her divine sense to probe inside.
"We've earned it!" Michelle's eyes lit up, her face filled with surprise.
Under Michelle's divine sense, there were over ten divine sparks within the interspatial ring. Among them, there were eight Demigod divine sparks, which basically contained seven types of Laws. There was also one divine spark that was filled with the aura of death. It should be a Demigod divine spark of the Edicts of Death. There were six God-level divine sparks, but three of them were wind-type, two were earth-type, and only one was emitting a mysterious and indescribable aura. This aura contained life force, and the surface of the divine spark had a hint of green light.
"What a coincidence?" Michelle's expression became strange. Having interacted with the High Priest for a period of time, he naturally had some understanding of the Edicts of Life. Michelle quickly recognized that this divine spark was a divine spark of the Edicts of Life. It was just that this luck was unbelievable to Michelle.
Michelle had also taken a look at the ring that she had obtained from Morpheus. Aside from a few Demigod artifacts and a few Demigods, there wasn't a single God's divine spark. Originally, Michelle didn't have much hope of obtaining a God's divine spark for the Edicts of Life, especially since this Fifteenth Layer Highgod cultivated in the Laws of Wind. She didn't have much hope, but she hadn't expected that she would actually find such a God's divine spark in this Highgod's ring.
"Forget it. I can only say that teacher is too lucky to have a disciple like me.”Michelle muttered to herself. Then, Michelle flipped her hand and took out a sword from her ring.
"Buzz!" The sword was light and agile. As it danced gently, a wondrous sound rang out.
"Highgod artifact. Unfortunately, this is a divine artifact that was nurtured by wind-style Highgod power. It doesn't suit me.”Michelle said with some pity.
This sword was the only Highgod artifact in the ring. Although there were other Deity weapons, most of them belonged to Demigods and Gods.
"Just make do with it." Michelle's heart ached when she thought of her destroyed sword, Deep Blue. After all, it was a weapon that had accompanied him for many years.
"This should be the currency of some Higher Plane or Divine Plane.”Michelle took out a green slate from her ring. It was a square slate with a side length of ten centimeters.
Looking at the green stone slab, Michelle thought of the Infernal Realm's currency, the azurite. This was a currency of a higher standard than inkstone, and was usually used for large transactions.
"To be able to teleport from another plane to the Yulan continent, you should have some savings. However, it was possible that all these savings had been used up.”Thinking back to the original novel, where it took a trillion inkstones to teleport from the Infernal Realm to the material plane, Michelle felt terrified.
"It's a pity it's not azurite or inkstone. I wonder if I can exchange for it in the Infernal Realm.”Michelle said regretfully. His first stop after leaving the Yulan continent was the Infernal Realm, and inkstones were the common currency of the Infernal Realm.
"Cultivate. There were still nine years left until the end of the ten-year period.”Michelle put everything back into her space ring and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Whether it was the battle with the Molten Stone Beast Morpheus or the battle with the High-level God, Zyrnos, Michelle had benefited greatly. Some of the difficult problems she encountered in the deduction of laws suddenly became much clearer, and her deduction speed increased by a lot.
Eight years later, a strand of the Laws of the World descended upon the fifteenth level of the Necropolis of the Gods. Michelle's Profound Mysteries of the Laws of Water, Roundness and Softness, had reached great success, and her divine water clone had risen from a Demigod to a God. At this point, Michelle finally had the capital to truly stand on the Overgod Plane.
