Chapter 271

Even if the energy within it continuously leaked away over time, making it insufficient to support the Ancient Battlefield's promotion from a small world to a true world, it would undoubtedly be safer.

However, neither Taiyang Zhu Zhao nor Taiyin Youying ultimately did so, clearly having other plans.

If one wants to make the best use of it, a living Star Eater is clearly more valuable than a dead one.

Combined with the suggestion Wen Xiuyuan once mentioned—that he should only consider going to the Ancient Battlefield after promoting to the Emperor Realm—it seems that besides the danger of the Ancient Battlefield far exceeding the norm, there is also the pressure that permeates the entire Ancient Battlefield.

And this pressure permeating the entire Ancient Battlefield is likely the fundamental reason why the Star Eater was not killed.

Even as the Master of the Heaven Mansion, Wen Xiuyuan did not know that this pressure originated from a Star Eater that posed an extremely strong threat to the Magic Card civilization.

Even with their understanding, they instead believed that it was because it was located at the boundary between the Magic Card civilization and the extraterrestrial regions that the Ancient Battlefield formed its special nature.

But as someone who had also been to the Ancient Battlefield, Wen Xiuyuan was very clear about one thing.

That is, only Magic Card masters who have reached the Emperor Realm can resist the pressure that is emitted from the Ancient Battlefield at all times and have the qualifications to act within it.

For Magic Card masters below the Emperor Realm to enter the Ancient Battlefield, the greatest result is being unable to move an inch due to the pressure within the Ancient Battlefield. Merely resisting the pressure here would consume a lot of their energy, let alone fighting extraterrestrial fierce beasts.

Fighting extraterrestrial fierce beasts under such circumstances is no different from seeking death.

Of course, this is also because the Star Eater's pressure was dispersed throughout the entire Ancient Battlefield by Taiyang Zhu Zhao through special means.

If the Star Eater's pressure were concentrated in a certain area, then let alone Emperors, even Sovereigns and Immortals would absolutely be unable to move an inch.

"Youying was right; you are indeed very special." Taiyang Zhu Zhao was slightly stunned, turned her head, tilted it, and looked at Lu Li, her eyes carrying a trace of surprise.

She hadn't expected Lu Li to actually bring this point up: "If I hadn't seen your previous performance, I would have suspected that you had gotten hold of the script."

After all, among those who know the secrets of the Ancient Battlefield, there are not many who can guess this point the first time.

Let alone that Lu Li is now only a King; regardless of identity, status, or strength, he is far too different compared to others who know this secret.

At this moment, Taiyang Zhu Zhao was even considering whether Lu Li had met their sisters' master at some point in time. Otherwise, the accuracy of the other party's guess would be too outrageous.

Of course, Taiyang Zhu Zhao also knew that this should be impossible; after all, even she and Youying didn't know where their master was now.

The probability of Lu Li running into the other party was almost infinitely close to zero.

"I would like to get the script; after all, that way I wouldn't have to guess back and forth." Lu Li shrugged. Scripts or whatever, thinking about it, he'd rather not; he was just guessing based on his own experience.

But now it seems that his guess was not wrong.

There is one more point: looking at Taiyang Zhu Zhao, who was tilting her head, Lu Li discovered that although the other party was a Supreme, making such a movement was unexpectedly very coordinated.

Sure enough, this fellow is a hidden "dull-wit"!

Of course, this is on the premise of being able to ignore the other party's Supreme identity and strength; otherwise, even if Taiyang Zhu Zhao made even more outrageous expressions, I'm afraid no one would think in that direction.

"You think quite beautifully." Taiyang Zhu Zhao rolled her eyes at Lu Li, then let go of the arm she was holding and stood up in front of Lu Li.

"To be honest, I'm quite happy to meet you this time; at least for this short period, it hasn't been as boring as it used to be." As she spoke, the aura on Taiyang Zhu Zhao's body quietly underwent quite a few changes.

If Taiyang Zhu Zhao had given Lu Li a "dull-witted" impression before, then the current Taiyang Zhu Zhao had returned to the momentum and expression that a Supreme should have in one's cognition.

"However, it's a pity that it's getting late now. And although your soul has the power of life and the power of gestation, you are after all still just a King, and haven't even broken through to the Emperor Realm. Separating the soul and body for too long will still cause quite a few sequelae."

"Let's prioritize handling the important business." As the words fell, Taiyang Zhu Zhao reached out to Lu Li and pressed her hand against Lu Li's forehead.

The next moment, the aura on Taiyang Zhu Zhao's body erupted and sublimated again. The majestic solar power continuously surged into Lu Li's soul through the fair palm that Taiyang Zhu Zhao had pressed against Lu Li's forehead.

This action of Taiyang Zhu Zhao could be described as very sudden; even with Lu Li's reaction, he was too late to dodge, and his soul was soaked by the swarming solar power.

However, this solar power summoned by Taiyang Zhu Zhao did not cause any harm to Lu Li; instead, it gave him a very comfortable, warm feeling.

Moreover, Lu Li also discovered that his soul seemed to be faintly absorbing this solar power, undergoing some unexpected transformation.

"This is solar power, my origin power. A Magic Card master who obtains solar power will receive the blessing of the sun." Taiyang Zhu Zhao's voice also rang out at this time: "The blessing of the sun will not substantially increase your strength, but it can allow you to experience in advance the power that can only be touched at the Supreme Realm—the solar power among the ultimate powers!"

"From your soul, I can feel the rich power of life and the relatively weak power of gestation. Although I don't know how you obtained these powers of life and gestation, this means you already possess the possibility of stepping into the Immortal Realm!"

"Just this point alone, you are already walking ahead of many Sovereign Realm experts."

509. One of a Kind

Lu Li, who was accepting and comprehending the influence of the solar power on his own soul, heard Taiyang Zhu Zhao's statement and also came back to his senses at this time. While continuing to pay attention to his own changes, he signaled for Taiyang Zhu Zhao to continue.

He could feel that this solar power not only had no harm to him, but he even had a faint intuition that if he could absorb more solar power, it would have quite a few benefits for his future development.

Especially right now, what Taiyang Zhu Zhao was about to say seemed to relate to a Sovereign promoting to Immortal; it seemed that this promotion was not like the promotion of other levels.

And the power of life and power of gestation the other party mentioned should refer to the feedback obtained after contracting the origin with Celestin and Tiamat. There seemed to be secrets in this that even he didn't know.

"After a Magic Card master reaches the Sovereign Realm, it is not just by making Magic Cards and obtaining enough magic power that they can continue to promote upward; they also need the power of life and the power of gestation to be born within their own spiritual power. Only then can they obtain the key to promoting to Immortal."

"This sounds quite difficult. According to what you said, to promote to the Immortal Realm, one needs to have the power of life and the power of gestation born within one's own spiritual power."

"Ordinary Magic Card masters are probably very difficult to reach this step." Lu Li took over Taiyang Zhu Zhao's words and said silently.

If it were so easy for a Sovereign to promote to Immortal, then there wouldn't be a gap-like difference in quantity between the two, as Taiyang Zhu Zhao said.

This statement by Taiyang Zhu Zhao could be considered an explanation of why there was such a large gap in quantity between Sovereign and Immortal, and this was also the first time Lu Li learned that promoting from Sovereign to Immortal required achieving a prerequisite condition.

It was a bit like playing a game; after a character reaches the level limit, they need to complete prerequisite conditions to complete a job change.

In his heart, such a thought flashed through Lu Li's mind.

"That's right." Taiyang Zhu Zhao didn't know the thoughts in Lu Li's heart, just nodded and continued: "Many Magic Card masters are stuck at the Sovereign Realm and ultimately never break through to the Immortal Realm because they don't have the power of life and the power of gestation born within their own spiritual power until the end of their lifespan."

"And you, you reached this step while at the King Realm. If those Sovereign Realm Magic Card masters knew about this, they would definitely be extremely depressed."

"Even, it wouldn't be surprising if these Magic Card masters who have been stuck at the Sovereign Realm, in a moment of desperation, start eyeing you and find an opportunity to kidnap you for slicing and research." After all, at the King Realm, having the power of life and the power of gestation in one's spiritual power—it can be said that Lu Li is truly one of a kind.

Even their sisters' master didn't seem to have reached this step back then.

Speaking of this, Taiyang Zhu Zhao blinked her eyes, and the "dull-witted" aura appeared on her body again.

It seems that even if the other party behaves normally, there is no way to cover up her "dull-witted" essence. I'm afraid that even among the Supreme group, Taiyang Zhu Zhao's "dull-witted" personality is one of a kind.

Of course, the number of Supremes wasn't large to begin with.

However, from this conversation with Taiyang Zhu Zhao, Lu Li also had a new understanding of the subsequent breakthrough.

After reaching the peak of the Sovereign Realm, if one wants to break through to the Immortal Realm, besides needing sufficient magic power, one also needs to possess the power of life and the power of gestation. This point is a difficult point for many Magic Card masters and also a problem that plagues them from continuing to promote.

Even the Night Queen hadn't mentioned this to him before.

However, Lu Li could guess the general reason. After all, he is now only a King, and there are still two major realms, Emperor and Sovereign, between him and promoting to Immortal.

If he were the Night Queen, he probably wouldn't say these things so far in advance, because it would cause quite a bit of pressure on the other party.

Even waiting until reaching the Sovereign Realm to say this wouldn't be too late.

Only, even the Night Queen probably wouldn't have thought that Lu Li would have such an encounter.

First, he kidnapped the World Tree spirit of the New Moon Land, and this time he snatched the Earth Mother God from the Tongtian Tower in the Titan Sanctuary home, directly obtaining the power of life and the power of gestation, solving the problem of Sovereign promoting to Immortal in one fell swoop.

Other Magic Card masters might be trapped at the Sovereign Realm, but for Lu Li, this doesn't count as anything. After all, his soul already possesses these two powers.

Next, as long as he makes enough Magic Cards and obtains enough magic power reflux, he can promote to the Immortal Realm unimpeded before promoting to the Undying Realm.

Just as Taiyang Zhu Zhao said, just this point alone, Lu Li has already beaten the vast majority of Sovereign Realm Magic Card masters.

As for the power of life and power of gestation he holds, Lu Li could only think that this came from the two women, Celestin and Tiamat.

Although he already knew that contracting the origin with the World Will would definitely bring quite a few benefits, Lu Li hadn't expected that this accidental encounter would actually solve the problem of his future promotion to Sovereign.

However, Sovereign promoting to Immortal already has special requirements, so if it were Immortal promoting to Undying, or even Undying promoting to Supreme, what other condition restrictions would there be?

Although he hasn't even reached the Immortal Realm yet, in Lu Li's view, this is just a matter of time; he has enough confidence in this point.

"After Immortal, it is considered Undying. Promoting to the Immortal Realm requires possessing the power of life and the power of gestation, and when the Immortal Realm promotes to the Undying Realm, it requires fusing the power of life and the power of gestation to form the power of the Undying."

As if knowing Lu Li's thoughts, what Taiyang Zhu Zhao mentioned next was exactly the promotion after the Immortal Realm.

Clearly, in Taiyang Zhu Zhao's view, merely the Immortal Realm is not Lu Li's limit.

After all, the gold content of clearing the 100th floor of the Tongtian Tower is there; besides Taiyin Youying, there is only the current Lu Li.

"And after the Undying Realm, it is the Supreme Realm!" Not only Immortal Realm promoting to Undying Realm, Taiyang Zhu Zhao even mentioned the conditions for Undying Realm promoting to Supreme Realm.

It can be said that she really thinks highly of Lu Li, and even truly hopes that Lu Li can promote to Supreme. In that case, perhaps she and Youying could meet their master again.

510. Supreme Realm! Either Die or Live!

"Compared to promoting to the Undying Realm, which requires fusing the power of life and the power of gestation to master the power of the Undying, wanting to promote to the Supreme Realm requires mastering the ultimate power."

"Any kind of power reaching the ultimate has the opportunity to become an ultimate power, and the solar power I possess belongs to one of the ultimate powers."

"As long as one masters a certain ultimate power, it is equivalent to holding the key to promoting to the Supreme Realm."

"However, ultimate power is not so easy to master. After all, that is ultimate power; if you want to master this power, you must be prepared for backlash."

"Almost every Supreme who controls ultimate power will experience a situation of being backlashed. Even Youying and I, when we mastered ultimate power back then, also suffered from the backlash of ultimate power."

"If you want to resist the backlash of ultimate power, you must rely on the power of the Undying."

"Even the power of the Undying, under normal circumstances, has no way to resist ultimate power, but the power of the Undying possesses immortality."

"By relying on immortality, even if the body is destroyed by ultimate power, it can still recover and be reborn."

"It can be said that promoting from the Undying Realm to the Supreme Realm is a process of repeatedly being destroyed and recovering, followed by being destroyed again, and recovering again."

"And during this promotion process, the Magic Card Master's life level will undergo a special sublimation."
