Some took only a few years, while others took decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step behind and you'd be out of the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the princes and princesses were perhaps the fiercest competitors in the entire federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They worked like crazy. Took missions all the time. Competed for the rare resources and had almost no time for a normal life. Their actions also remained unknown for most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's also the reason they received so little media attention. They were almost non-existent in the public eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-level 7s were usually those that were ahead in the race. To get there, they were battle-hardened, experienced, and hard-working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Varian encountered a high level 7 prince, he was incredibly cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That paid off well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when he entered the 100-meter range of the prince, a lightning snake reached for his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sidestepped and dodged the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a classic merman, he stared at the brown-haired prince with bloodshot eyes. \"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince squinted his eyes. \"I remember clearing all the mermen in the vicinity, where the heck is this guy from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'All of them?' Varian was slightly surprised, but he didn't stop his action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He teleported right behind the prince and punched his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the punch was about to reach his back, the prince's body shone with blinding golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's about to elementalize.' Varian noticed and used his psychic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince's mind was flooded with a terrifying pain and a cluster of illusions that showed his worst nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should've usually caused him to freeze at least for a moment and would've resulted in a slight delay of elementalization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't happen with the prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" With a reverberating roar, he suppressed the pain and ignored the haunting feelings from his illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spilled out of his eyes, ears, and nose at the trauma, but the prince didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed his lightning mana through and when Varian's fist touched his skin, he elementalized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's hand passed through the mass of lightning and appeared from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian himself, due to the momentum went inside the lightning body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then, the prince whispered. \"Die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh shit.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rather tame lightning Varian was in turned chaotic. Since a good portion of his body was inside the lightning, the lightning was able to attack him simultaneously in multiple places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh—Roar\" Varian stopped the human-like cry and responded like a merman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning lashed out against him mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space layer he hurriedly set up was torn apart, his telekinetic barrier couldn't hold on either. His lightning barrier was the worst, it was the quickest to break down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are you for real?' As the lightning flooded his body, aiming to burn his organs, Varian winced in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a high level 7 lightning, his space, telekinetic and lightning were all two notches lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lightning made inroads into his body, his chi, prana and all others came to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce fight began in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gritted his teeth and leaned back, to jump out of the lightning mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not going anywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince's voice sounded and the lightning turned even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't even bother roaring in reply and punched out combining his powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning was momentarily torn apart and he quickly jumped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince, currently a lightning mass followed, eager to end him. Varian expected this and was preparing to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the prince thought he swallowed the merman, it had already teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange…it has body strength, telekinetic force, psychic power, space, and even lightning? Did the devas create a weird monster?\" He muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack came from behind. The prince expected it and swung a lightning hammer without even turning around. He didn't need to, his lightning sense took care of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the merman was strange, since he gained an upper hand from the start, the prince evaluated it to be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch of the merman broke the lightning hammer and hit the prince's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince staggered a few steps but quickly stabilized. If the punch was stronger, it would've shaken his elementalized state!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just how did it…?\" The prince turned around and saw the merman on a single knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its right arm was charred and hung like a broken branch. Its flesh gave off a burnt smell and even its bone was visible. The blood of the creature formed a puddle under its hanging arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince raised his hand and a lightning spear materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merman stood up and looked him in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still challenging me?\" The prince scoffed. \"With that injured ar—?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince shut up abruptly as he saw the merman's right arm turn into a branch and heal at a visible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came back to his senses, it was already half-healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! What is this crazy creature! So many divine paths!\" The prince muttered, but his killing intent grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this some sort of rare creature? Will it give more points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake of illusions gave rewards based on the number of mermen killed. But the evaluation also depended on the strength of each merman. A high-level 7 merman had more points per kill than a low-level 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the prince thought this special merman could be a rare monster that provided even more points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was one of the weakest in high level 7, the prince was at the thirty-sixth mile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his chances of getting the key were rare. So, he decided he might as well get the lake's reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! You are mine!\" The prince laughed and shot toward the merman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lightning body left golden sparks in the air as he reached Varian in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! You're done!\" The prince summoned a lightning hammer each in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian roared and raised his hands, clearly meant to counter the hammers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was meant to be a final strike to decide the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so the prince thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hammers reached the merman, it turned around and ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, it even teleported to the distance and disappeared out of his 100-meter range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince quickly moved forward, eager to not lose this prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if he moved quickly, his sensing range was only a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian used his speed and teleportation and got out of the prince's sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to change the strategy. I can't win high level 7s with my current strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1114,"2026-06-06T07:58:24.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","260842672c07d392b03644c9353152e4f7228368d6d1e969e8453ab6aa74fb8e","divine-path-system-chapter-568","divine-path-system-chapter-566",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
