"Whoosh!" Suddenly, Bebe transformed into a blur, charging towards Michelle.
"Hmm?" Michelle's face instantly turned cold. She then slashed out with her sword, and the terrifying divine power, combined with the profound mysteries of the Laws, forcibly tore a spatial rift in the extremely stable Infernal Realm.
"Bang!" Bebe was instantly sent flying, and the faint sound of bones shattering could be heard.
"It hurts. Michelle, your grandpa." Bebe's furious voice rang out.
"You just need to slowly walk over. I'm not Linley.”Michelle's face relaxed, and she walked towards Bebe.
Bebe, who had been sent flying by Michelle's sword strike, had a wound appear on his clothes, and blood was flowing out of it, but he quickly recovered. Fortunately, Bebe was a Godeater Rat, and his bones had been tempered by divine sparks. He was even more powerful than ordinary Highgod artifacts. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand Michelle's sword.
"I didn't expect you to become stronger after so many years.”Bebe said rather angrily.
"You aren't bad either. You actually managed to withstand a single sword strike of mine and still survive. In the past six hundred something years, there really aren't many Highgods in the Infernal Realm who can survive a single sword strike of mine.”Michelle was stating a fact.
Bebe didn't refute. He knew the power of Michelle's sword.
"Linley and the others are here as well? He hadn't seen them for many years. Also, after I left, what was the situation in the Yulan continent like?”Michelle suddenly asked.
"You're really interesting. You pretend to be cold to your old friends, but when you ask questions, you're like a girl.”Bebe laughed.
"Looks like you think your body is very hard. Shall I polish it for you?”Michelle's face turned cold again.
"Don't!" Bebe's bones hadn't fully recovered yet, and even now, he was still feeling waves of heart-wrenching pain.
"Bring me to Linley." Michelle said.
"Follow me." Bebe didn't waste any time, directly leading the way.
"Tell me about your experience in hell.”Michelle suddenly said.
"It's nothing…" Bebe began to chatter away.
"Your experiences are really rich. You're really lucky to be able to make it here alive.”Michelle said.
The experiences of Linley's group were somewhat different from those of the original novel, but in terms of danger and opportunity, they weren't inferior to the original novel. At the same time, Linley's divine clone of the Edicts of Destruction had already reached the level of a God. It was said that he was at the peak of the God level.
"Linley is quite talented in the Laws of Destruction.”Michelle exclaimed.
"Of course, it doesn't matter whose boss it is.”Bebe said proudly.
"Michelle, how long have you been in the Amethyst Mountains?”Bebe suddenly asked.
"About three hundred years." Michelle suddenly exclaimed.
It had been more than three hundred years, and two hundred years had been spent absorbing amethysts. However, the growth rate of his soul strength in these two hundred years did not satisfy Michelle.
Right now, Michelle's soul was very strong. He was confident that he would not be afraid of the soul attacks of Shura level experts who were proficient in the soul. However, it was still far from reaching Michelle's expectations.
As Michelle saw it, after absorbing so many amethysts, her soul should have reached the level of Linley's soul mutation in the original novel, so powerful that she would be acknowledged by the heavens and be bestowed with the power of Will.
However, he had overestimated the benefits the Purple Crystal could bring to his soul.
Although refining amethysts and absorbing soul essence could strengthen the soul, it was not a problem. It even caused the soul to seem to have a qualitative improvement, but in reality, that was only the result of a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change. It was like a bottle that was filled with gas. If there was too much gas, the gas might even be compressed into liquid.
This was a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change.
But there was a limit. Because if he inflated it endlessly. Even if it turned into liquid. However, if there was too much liquid, the bottle would explode, and the soul would shatter.
Although Michelle did not have a limit, the quality of Michelle's soul was simply too high. She was already comparable to an ordinary Highgod. Thus, the quantity and quality of each time she refined a large amount of amethysts were very little.
In the original novel, Linley had used the Coiling Dragon ring to absorb the soul essence of the amethyst for six hundred years, only to have his soul reach the limits of a God's soul. He was still quite a distance away from reaching the level of a Highgod's soul. From this, it could be seen that the amethyst's ability to improve the soul was very limited.
In terms of refining and absorbing amethyst soul essences, Michelle, who had a cheat, was confident that she would be able to surpass Linley's Coiling Dragon ring in speed. Although she had only absorbed them for two hundred something years, in terms of quantity alone, she was able to match Linley's absorption rate of twenty thousand years. It must be known that Michelle had forcefully emptied several of the Amethyst Dens. Although she had wasted nearly half of the soul essences in the process of refining and absorbing them, even the remaining half was already a terrifying amount. It had only allowed Michelle's soul to reach the peak of Highgod level, comparable to that of an Asura. She was still quite a distance away from reaching the Paragon level.
However, this was not what made Michelle frustrated and dissatisfied. After all, Michelle did not lack time. She could slowly refine the amethysts and strengthen her soul. However, reality was always cruel. What made Michelle frustrated and dissatisfied was that after clearing out a few of the Amethyst Dens, Michelle could clearly feel a pair of cold eyes staring at her. She didn't need to think to know that it was a Main God. After the last Amethyst Den was drawn, Michelle decisively stopped. Michelle was really afraid that the Sovereign would not be able to bear it and slap her to death. That would be a huge loss.
"Linley." Soon, under Bebe's lead, Michelle arrived at the cave where Linley's group resided.
"Michelle? It's you!" Linley was puzzled at first, but soon, he said in pleasant surprise.
"I heard that your divine earth clone has been trapped.”The Linley before him was dressed in a long gray robe, and his body emanated a faint aura that caused one's heart to tremble. A mysterious law surrounded him. This was Linley's divine clone of the Edicts of Destruction.
"Right. Right now, my original body and my divine earth clone are working hard to deduce.”Linley had a hint of worry on his face.
"There's no hurry. We have plenty of time.”Michelle did not mind.
"Let's not talk about this. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Delia, bring out the good wine. It's a gathering of old friends, so there's no need to save on this.”Linley said loudly.
A beautiful woman walked over and took out more than ten bottles of wine from her interspatial ring.
"Delia, long time no see. You're even more beautiful." Michelle laughed.
"Michelle, why do your words make me feel uncomfortable?”Linley pretended to be angry.
"You're thinking too much." Michelle did not mind.
"Are you still alone?" Linley suddenly said.
"Yes, alone. I'm really happy to see you in this hell.”Michelle was not a person who would be easily saddened. The hundreds of years of killing had made him cold. However, seeing someone familiar, his heart warmed up, and his thoughts became complicated and melancholic.
"You're too arrogant. You don't like anyone. This Infernal Realm is not the Yulan continent." Linley shook his head. In his opinion, the reason why Michelle had not gotten married and had children was because he was too arrogant and did not like anyone. However, in the Yulan continent, it was one thing to be arrogant. After all, Michelle's talent and power, her status, and her status, gave her the right to be arrogant. But in the Infernal Realm, where geniuses and experts were everywhere, Michelle's arrogance was laughable.
"Fate hasn't arrived yet, so there's no rush.”Michelle said calmly.
"Then you can wait slowly." Linley didn't say anything else, immediately starting to drink.
"Linley, do you regret stepping onto the path of the Laws of Destruction?”Michelle suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Linley said rather unhappily.
"If one day, you discover that you can go even further without your divine law clone, will you regret your training?”Michelle continued.
"Although I don't know why you say that," Linley frowned, but he quickly relaxed."Cultivation is a path of gradual exploration. No one knows if what they are walking on is really wrong. "Even if I'm wrong, it's still my own choice. What I've done is without guilt. If I don't even dare to admit the path I've taken and regret it, then I don't want to cultivate, let alone live.”
"Interesting, interesting." Michelle laughed. She laughed so brazenly that tears rolled down her cheeks.
"What happened to him?" Bebe looked at Michelle, puzzled.
"Perhaps he encountered something sad.”Delia said.
"The world is so real, and fate is so bizarre. I come, so I see; I think, so I act.”Michelle suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Linley didn't quite understand what was going on. As he saw it, Michelle was already abnormal.
"Nothing, I just find it interesting. I'm very happy to see you, and it's also very interesting. It was even more interesting to see this world.”Michelle laughed.
"Next, Linley, focus on your training. Don't forget what you said today." Michelle's smile suddenly disappeared. She stood up and patted Linley on the shoulder, then turned and left.
"As expected, wandering the Infernal Realm alone for too long is abnormal.”Bebe was speechless, a look of pity on his face.
"What would I regret?”Linley stared thoughtfully at Michelle's departing back. As far as he knew Michelle, she would never speak such useless nonsense.
Time passed, and 50 years passed. Suddenly, a Heaven Earth Law descended.
"It's Michelle." Linley's divine clone of the Edicts of Destruction opened his eyes, staring towards Michelle's cave.
Fifty years ago, after Michelle had met Linley's group, she had found a nearby place to train. On one hand, she wanted to take care of each other, and on the other hand, she wanted to ride on Linley's free ride out of the Amethyst Mountains. Although with Michelle's current level of soul and the boost from her cheat, it wouldn't be difficult for her to leave the Amethyst Mountains, Michelle didn't wish to do so. After all, this was the territory of the Redbud Sovereign. Everyone's every move here was being observed by the Redbud Sovereign. If she were to walk out in such a grand manner, only the heavens knew if the Redbud Sovereign would have any designs on her. For example, if he wanted her to become the Sovereign's Emissary.
A Sovereign's Emissary was indeed a very good identity, and the benefits were also quite good. Not only would he be able to obtain a Sovereign artifact, but he would also be able to make others fear him. After all, the status of a Sovereign's Emissary was even more intimidating than those Asura commanders, because behind the Sovereign's Emissary stood a lofty Sovereign.
Unfortunately, Michelle did not wish to become a Sovereign's Emissary. Sovereign artifact? Sovereign's Might? Michelle naturally had a way to obtain them. The Planar Battlefield had already begun, and there were plenty of opportunities to obtain Sovereign artifacts and Sovereign's Might there. Compared to being able to be free and not have to listen to anyone's orders, the benefits of being a Sovereign's Emissary were not worth mentioning in Michelle's eyes.
Of course, being asked to become a Sovereign's Emissary was the best scenario. What he feared the most was that the Sovereign wanted to study him. After all, Michelle had too many secrets. Just the activity of refining amethysts in large quantities over the past few years had most likely attracted the attention of the Sovereign. Although he didn't know why the Sovereign hadn't come looking for him yet, it was still better to be on guard. Linley's appearance had undoubtedly given him an invisible layer of protection. After all, the Redbud Sovereign had taken special care of Linley. Loving a house, loving a crow, and treating Linley's friends should have been much more relaxed and wouldn't make things difficult for him.
After fifty years of training, his original body and his divine fire clone had done their best to analyze the Laws of Fire. Finally, he had mastered the profound mysteries of soul attacks. In addition, he had completely fused the Firestyle technique with the profound mysteries of Explosion, Magma, and the Essence of Fire. He was currently fusing with the Fire Body Technique and the profound mysteries of soul attacks. As for the Fire Body Art, Michelle had already mastered it in her twentieth year in the Amethyst Mountains, when she refined large amounts of amethysts to strengthen her soul.
Mastery of the six profound mysteries meant that Michelle's divine fire clone had officially stepped into the Highgod level, which was why the Laws of the World had descended.
In the space of a few breaths, Michelle's divine spark had successfully transformed. Her soul had also transformed, and Michelle's divine fire clone had reached the Highgod level.
After her divine fire clone's soul was nourished by the Laws of the World and transformed, Michelle immediately felt her soul reach a very mysterious height. At this height, there was a thin membrane. Michelle could sense that as long as her soul was a little stronger, her soul would be able to break through this thin membrane and undergo a mysterious transformation.
One had to know that under the effect of the cheat, Michelle's soul had no limit to growth. This thin membrane could only be the limit of the soul strength in the world. Once this limit was broken, the law of the world would reward the person whose soul strength reached the standard.
This boundary was clearly placed before Michelle's eyes. As long as she could find something better than the amethyst, something that could strengthen her soul, Michelle would be able to break through this boundary at any time and reach a new level.
"The current me isn't afraid of even a Paragon, let alone an Asura expert proficient in soul attacks.”Michelle was extremely confident.
A Highgod was a complete transformation in terms of divine power, divine body, domain, and soul. They were much stronger than Gods. If a God wanted to resist a Highgod, the only thing they could rely on was the fusion of profound mysteries. However, even though he had fused profound mysteries, he was still far inferior to a Highgod. If a God wanted to resist an ordinary Highgod, they would need to fuse at least two profound mysteries. But if they wanted to resist a Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries, they would need to fuse three. In order to resist a Highgod who had fused three profound mysteries, a God would have to fuse four.
Fusing four profound mysteries? Let alone Gods, even Highgods were incredibly rare. Highgods like this were already on par with Seven Star Fiends and ordinary Lord Prefects. Although it was indeed easier for Gods to fuse profound mysteries than Highgods, this was only relative. Fusing profound mysteries was still incomparably difficult. From the beginning to the end, it was extremely difficult. Fusing two profound mysteries was no easier than mastering all the profound mysteries of a single type of Law. Often, many Gods would be on the verge of mastering all of the profound mysteries of the Laws, but they would still be unable to fuse one profound mystery with another. Thus, a God using a profound mystery to defeat a Highgod was something that rarely happened even in the Four Higher Planes or the Seven Divine Planes. As for the countless material planes, there was no need to even mention them.
Thus, training step by step from a Demigod to a Highgod, and then slowly fusing profound mysteries at the Highgod level was the mainstream in the Higher Planes and Divine Planes. After all, survival was the key, and power was the foundation. In comparison, Gods were still too weak. Even those disciples of great clans who weren't threatened by danger rarely chose to fuse profound mysteries at the God level after knowing that it was easier.
If one was talented enough, they would only need several hundred thousand years to become a Highgod, and then they would be able to rely on their advantage in all aspects and the aid of external objects to crush those Gods who had fused two or three profound mysteries. Then, the Carefree Side would choose to be as talented as a God. At the God level, fusing profound mysteries was easier than at the Highgod level, and it was extremely possible for one to become a Paragon. But in reality, it would take several hundred thousand years, or even a million years, to fuse two profound mysteries. In the future, he would have to spend even more time. If he had to choose between these two options, the vast majority would undoubtedly choose the former. And this sort of choice was only suitable for those great clans that didn't have to worry about life or death. As for other cultivators, even staying alive was a problem. Who would be able to remain at the God level and slowly fuse profound mysteries? Most likely, they would be killed before they could even fuse a single profound mystery.
Becoming a Highgod from a Midgod was a qualitative breakthrough. This was true for ordinary Deities, and it was even more so for Michelle.
He had fused four profound mysteries of the Laws of Fire, and his soul was as strong as a Paragon's. In addition, he had gained a hundredfold increase in power from his Highgod power and divine body. If Michelle were to face a Paragon, unless her opponent used Sovereign's Might, she would definitely be able to fight him to a standstill. Even if she really couldn't win, she wouldn't be banished.
Michelle's fire clone had become a Highgod, and she finally had the right to laugh at the other planes and stand at the peak of the Deities.
"You broke through? Is it water or fire?" Michelle, who had just walked out of the cave, was quickly greeted by Linley's question.
"Are you so sure that it was my two divine clones who broke through?”Michelle smiled.
"We're not blind. The ones with the highest achievements are your fire and water attributes. Looking at your happy face, I don't need to guess to know.”Bebe called out.
"Is it that obvious?" Michelle raised her eyebrows in surprise.
No one replied, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Michelle.
"Alright. This time, my divine fire clone broke through. I'm now a Highgod as well.”Michelle didn't try to be mysterious and said directly.
"In the past, your elemental affinity test was for light and lightning.”Linley suddenly said.
"I know what you want to say, but cultivation depends on talent, hard work and perseverance, and luck and comprehension. Compared to the first two, I think the third is the most important.”Michelle said.
"Not bad!" Linley didn't retort. Having walked this path, he had experienced this very well. Some things didn't just depend on one's talent or aptitude. Sometimes, one also had to depend on luck and comprehension. Linley hadn't expected that he would gain insights into the Edicts of Destruction, and train to the God level. Right now, his most powerful divine clone was the Edicts of Destruction.
"Let me tell you a piece of good news. We'll be able to leave soon.”Linley suddenly said.
"Oh?" Michelle's heart skipped a beat as she had a guess.
"It's like this…" Linley immediately began to tell Michelle about the breakthrough his divine earth clone had made in the trapped area, as well as what he had learned. Michelle sighed in admiration at the power of power. Although some things had changed, some things were very difficult to change. For example, Linley had still come to the Amethyst Mountains, and the Redbud Sovereign still wanted to nurture Linley, so that he would have the power to help the Four Divine Beasts clan after he returned.
"Congratulations." Michelle said.
"Same." Linley laughed.
One had broken through to become a Highgod and stood at the peak of the Deity level, while the other divine earth clone had been freed and had obtained a great opportunity. This was indeed worthy of congratulations and celebration.
A hundred and fifty years later, Michelle, Linley, Delia, and Bebe flew out of the Amethyst Mountains, surrounded by the earthen yellow barrier of light formed by Linley's divine earth power.
As the strange sound of wind appeared, Linley's spiritual energy dispersed it. Michelle could clearly sense that Linley's spiritual energy contained something else. Presumably, it was that soulstone.
After leaving the Fog Sea, Linley's group immediately paid amethysts and left.
"I'm rich, I'm rich." As soon as they entered the metallic lifeform, Bebe began to cheer excitedly.
"Presumably, Bebe has collected quite a few amethysts.”Michelle directly exposed him.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Bebe glanced at Michelle.
"Think whatever you want." Michelle was too lazy to argue. In terms of the number of amethysts he had collected, how could Bebe compare to him? Any random interspatial ring he took out would have an amount of amethysts that Bebe couldn't compare to.
"Humph." Sword Michelle didn't continue, and Bebe let out a proud snort.
"How many amethysts did you pick?" Linley asked with interest.
"Boss, don't be scared if I tell you.”As Bebe spoke, he glanced at Michelle, but Michelle's face was calm.
"I could easily get millions of amethysts in a day by the side of the Amethyst Devil's Den, and I spent ten whole years harvesting them.”As he spoke, Bebe looked once more at Michelle. Michelle's face was as calm as ever.
"Some people, although they are already Highgods, in terms of wealth, they probably don't even have as much as a God.”Bebe said meaningfully.
"Bebe, that's enough," Linley said."No matter how much wealth you have, in the end, it's not as important as your own strength. If Michelle makes a move now, all of your amethysts will be his, and you won't be able to keep them.”
"He dares!" Bebe called out loudly.
"You can try." Michelle suddenly said.
Right now, Beirut's Sovereign clone couldn't leave the Yulan continent, and although his divine clone in the Infernal Realm was powerful and possessed a small portion of the power of Will, and was comparable to a Paragon in power, Michelle truly didn't fear him.
Even if Michelle were to attack Bebe now, as long as she didn't kill Bebe, let alone rob him of his things, even if she crippled him, Beirut wouldn't say anything. But it wasn't easy to talk to Linley. After all, in terms of relationship, he, Michelle, was far inferior to Bebe and Linley.
"Bebe, stop fooling around." Linley immediately berated. Linley wasn't Bebe. He had some understanding of Michelle's style of doing things. If he was really pushed into a corner, who knew what he would do? If that happened, no one present would be able to stop him.
"Humph." Bebe let out a cold snort.
"I'm sorry." Linley said apologetically to Michelle.
"No worries." Naturally, Michelle wouldn't bother about this. At least, for Linley's sake, Michelle really didn't need to make a move.
"You are going to Bluemaple City in the Hongyang Prefecture, right?”Michelle changed the topic.
"That's right. You should know that our destination is the Bloodridge Continent, where the Four Divine Beasts clan is located.”Linley said.
"Let's split up when we reach Bluemaple City.”Michelle said.
"Why? Aren't you coming with us?”Delia said.
"Our paths are different. Linley, when you return, you will acknowledge your master and return to your clan. As for me, I have my own path.”Michelle said.
"I wish you all the best." Linley finally said.
The metallic lifeform didn't move at all as it carried Linley's group towards Bluemaple City in the Rainbow Prefecture. From the Amethyst Mountains to Bluemaple City, it had taken eight years. The journey had been extremely peaceful, and they hadn't encountered any danger.
"If one day you are tired, you can come to Indigo Prefecture on the Bloodridge Continent to look for me. In the Infernal Realm, you still have a friend, a friend who fought together with you when you were young.”As they parted, Linley said to Michelle.
"Since when did you say such sensational words?”Michelle laughed. For some reason, he felt his eyes dry up.
"Michelle, don't forget, you still owe me a favor.”Bebe spoke as well. He was referring to the words that Michelle had asked Linley to tell Bebe back in the Yulan continent.
"Michelle, take care." Delia said.
"One day, you will hear my name in hell. At that time, you can come and find me.”Michelle said.
"I will wait for that day." Linley said solemnly.
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
"See you again!"
A stream of light shot towards the east and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
