Chapter 392: Sixteen Years of Mastery Cultivation!

The lifespan of a Chao Shen Da Shi can easily exceed two thousand years, even three thousand years.

Therefore, after a Chao Shen Da Shi ascends, they will have a relatively long period of secret cultivation.

It may be as short as twenty to thirty years, or as long as several hundred years.

This period of secret cultivation after ascending to master.

First, to steadily raise one's level.

After all, the higher the level, the more solid the sequence, and the greater the power of the source energy's activation state.

High levels are naturally powerful; this "level sect" principle works just as well among Chao Shen Da Shi.

Second, to improve the level of one's abilities in all aspects, especially core abilities.

If core abilities have levels, they must at least reach and surpass level 100, and the higher the better.

If the core ability is ungraded, it must be cultivated to a certain height, reaching the standard of a Chao Shen Da Shi.

Generally, a personal level of 120 and a core ability level of 100 constitute the threshold for a Chao Shen Da Shi.

Those slain by the quasi‑masters are the Chao Shen Da Shi with low levels who still like to roam outside.

After level 120, cultivation continues.

To become a strong one among Chao Shen Da Shi.

Then, higher levels, powerful forbidden spell abilities, tactics, and insight into rune mysteries.

All these aspects are indispensable.

Ta Ke is secretly cultivating aboard the Four‑Tooth Elephant Realm ship, and the situation of the Divine War is constantly changing.

In the second year of Ta Ke's secret cultivation.

The initial counterattack and landing of the Chao Shen Da Shi allied with A Lu Mo Fu at the sunken ship of the Blood Sea Ruins located the hideout of the insect race's legendary queen Ge Fu Nü Huang.

Dozens of high‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi joined forces to assault the legendary queen Ge Fu Nü Huang.

They battered the legendary queen Ge Fu Nü Huang, her flesh and blood shattered, and she wailed continuously.

In desperation, the legendary queen Ge Fu Nü Huang sought help from the evil god Giant Nest Pillar God.

Then, the Giant Nest Pillar God's primordial divine power projected down, spewing deadly poison.

One third of the high‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi perished from this divine poison.

At the same time, the compartment area of the sunken ship at the Blood Sea Ruins became heavily polluted, turning into a death forbidden zone.

However, that battle also shattered the legendary nest that queen Ge Fu Nü Huang had maintained for over a hundred years.

It gravely wounded the legendary queen Ge Fu Nü Huang.

The demigod A Lu Mo Fu's forces began to have the standing at the Blood Sea Ruins' sunken ship to contend with Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Foreign Divine Alliance.

The fifth year of Ta Ke's secret cultivation.

Both sides erupted into large‑scale war again.

The cause was that five legendary strongmen jointly launched a surprise attack on a branch academy of the demigod A Lu Mo Fu's world.

Tens of thousands of teachers and students in the entire academy were all brutally killed.

Demigod A Lu Mo Fu was enraged.

He launched an all‑sided counterattack.

The counterattack lasted a year, made some progress, but the overall gains were modest.

The war entered its eighth year.

Bad news came from the Three‑Eyed God.

One of the Three‑Eyed God's fortified Divine Kingdoms fell, and the ecosystem of a million angelic heroic spirits collapsed.

The Three‑Eyed God suffered severe losses.

To defend the Three‑Eyed God's Divine Kingdom defensive line.

A Lu Mo Fu's side once again launched a massive heroic spirit expedition.

That battle lasted three years.

During that time, Ta Ke only saw Teacher Mo Er Man once.

This legendary human heroic spirit almost died on the battlefield, but a heroic spirit angel carried him out of the death zone, allowing him to survive by luck.

Many legendary heroic spirits, master heroic spirits, and steam spirits that went from A Lu Mo Fu to support did not have such luck; a large number of heroic spirits fell on the battlefield, and the war situation was unprecedentedly horrific!

The Divine War progressed to the twelfth year of Ta Ke's seclusion.

The other six of the Seven Gods also gradually sent various battle reports.

Although everyone tried to report only good news and not bad.

But the losses far outweighed the gains.

The brutality of the Divine War reached unprecedented heights.

Ta Ke's steam insect race tactics also continued to be dispatched as aid.

But!

The steam sand worms only served to fill the front line.

What truly matters is the confrontation between the two sides' Chao Shen Da Shi, legendary strongmen, and even the clash among deities.

Mo Lei·Shen Ting.

Foreign Divine Alliance.

Neither alone can oppose the Three‑Eyed God·Holy Spirit Empire.

But together they are not at all afraid of the Three‑Eyed God·Divine Spirit Empire.

Moreover, many other star‑sky forces are covertly involved.

Although the Three‑Eyed God Divine Spirit Empire is aware of other forces' covert interference.

But it is inconvenient to state this explicitly.

Unconsciously!

The war entered the sixteenth year of Ta Ke's covert cultivation.

………….

In the depths of the Flame World Tree, the Wizard High Tower nest.

"Huh… breathe…"

As he devours and absorbs, Ta Ke slowly ceases his cultivation.

At this moment, the massive light that had been twisted and drawn in by Ta Ke's power finally regains its original trajectory.

He finely feels within his body the mountain‑heavy, blazing stellar body, and the Chaotic Rune Original Essence whose growth effect is astonishing.

A slight smile curves Ta Ke's mouth.

"Huh… finally reached fifty stellar bodies!"

Ta Ke's thoughts pause briefly, he opens his system page and reviews the results of his sixteen years of idle cultivation.

【Transcendent Sequence】

Chaotic Steam·Master Wizard: Level 124.

Primordial Dark Sea: Level 115.

……

【Transcendent Divine Skill】

Critical·Phase Walk (1832 fragments): Level 100.

……

【Transcendent Talent】

Space‑Time Wormhole (seven‑star): Level 100.

Annihilation·Silent Nirvana Starburst (six‑star): Level 110.

Ancient Spirit·Star Dragon Breath (five‑star): Level 100.

Barrier·Crystal Wall Armor (five‑star): Level 100.

………….

"The source‑energy experience for the next level of the Chaotic Starfall Ring is almost enough; upgrading it to Level 128 should be sufficient."

"Leave some experience for the Steam Light Feather Blade; its star rank will rise to seven‑star, eight‑star, and its power will be extremely astonishing."

These sixteen years of covert cultivation.

Ta Ke's improvements in every aspect are truly remarkable.

Anything that should be upgraded to Level 100, Ta Ke has raised to one hundred.

Other Chao Shen Da Shi can only have their core abilities raised above Level 100.

But Ta Ke has surpassed Level 100 across the board.

Ta Ke's Level 124 is entirely due to his own cultivation and the baptism of the Flame World Tree. As for experience source‑energy, Ta Ke has allocated it all to the major forbidden spells and divine skills.

In sixteen years, he advanced 11 levels, which is already a rapid pace.

As for the core ability Chaotic·Cosmic Stellar Body.

Ta Ke further raised it to the stature of 【Master·Fifty Stellar Bodies】.

Now Ta Ke estimates that the stellar body combined with his crystal wall‑built 【Stellar Crystal Wall】 defense, a mid‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi, may not be broken unless a special technique is used.

And the Chaotic Rune Original Essence has been elevated by Ta Ke to the height of 259 cycles.

Even though the comprehension of the Chaotic Rune Original Essence becomes harder over time.

But Ta Ke still relies on his extremely high talent to steadily advance this Chaotic Rune Original Essence.

With the blessing of the Chaotic Rune at 259 cycles.

Ta Ke's forbidden spells, divine skills, and such abilities imply a tremendous magnitude of power.

"His current growth rate is quite good, his risk‑resistance ability has greatly increased; it's about time to head to the Arumov Demigod World."

"We can use the Blood Sea Ruins Shipwreck Site as a springboard."

"Moreover, during this period, Senior Luo Mos stationed at the Blood Sea Ruins Shipwreck Site sends a rescue request at regular intervals."

"The battle situation at the Blood Sea Ruins Shipwreck Site is becoming increasingly intense."

"Even…"

Recalling Senior Luo Mos's detailed information, Ta Ke couldn't help but smile.

"There are still quite a few good things there."

Lost in thought, Ta Ke rises and walks outward.

"On this outing, I need to discuss details with Senior Gaili Si Lan Ya, and have him guard the boundary ship well."

After all, the time for this outing may not be short.

Ta Ke meticulously thought about his many future plans, disappearing into the depths of the steamy grey mist.
