Chapter 492: Mid‑Tier Legendary Demigod Realm!

As an indescribable heat baked the entire Divine Kingdom–Miraculous Ancient House dimension.

In contrast, the massive steam‑mechanism seemed to dodge disaster, avoiding the scorching heat.

Ta Ke simultaneously felt the searing heat of the steam‑chaos star core and the probing of that mysterious ritual.

Under the blistering steam sun, the power of the probe melted away like ice.

Ta Ke solidifies the Divine Kingdom of spiritual faith, tolerating no profanation by foreign forces!

"The Floating Star Nest is the key to my next power boost; this crucial element must not be hindered."

Even if discovered by the enemy, Ta Ke shows no intention of stopping.

Entering this divine forbidden land is a fight for various vital resources.

The treasure lies before his eyes; Ta Ke would never miss it!

Soon, the Ritual of the Gate and the Gate of the Star Nest stabilized.

"This saves at least 80% of time and stellar ecological propulsion; overall, efficiency is increased fivefold."

The system's source‑energy allocation can more effectively accelerate Ta Ke's level breakthroughs and promotions.

A dark‑golden star slowly rose on the horizon of the massive floating island Star Nest.

"All stellar power is used to drive the ecological growth of the Legendary Sequence Tree, not to be converted into source energy."

It was previously a lengthy process.

That efficiency couldn't be said to be zero; it was merely stagnant!

But at this very moment, it is.

"Using the great stars as a reservoir, we blend the ecological propulsion of the Legendary State Sequence into it."

After more than ten breaths, Ta Ke's form flickered, shrank rapidly, and then vanished into the Gate of the Star Nest.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke attempted to inject some 【Faith Divine Flame Trait】 and 【Star Core Divine Flame Trait】 into the rapidly growing Legendary Sequence ecology.

The stored source‑energy experience exceeds three hundred million.

The vortex of the Gate of the Star Nest swiftly opened a passage to mysterious void.

"From the star's rise to hanging in the heavens, then to the sunrise's curtain!"

"Let's see how Divinity's digestion works!"

He glanced at the system page showing the stored source‑energy experience.

But at this moment.

"Huh?"

After a moment of feeling, Ta Ke let out a slight gasp of surprise!

These 【Divinity】 powers that Ta Ke previously could not digest.

A Steam Astromancer fell like a meteor.

He felt the shining golden gaze.

"At this efficiency, not only reaching level 240 but even 250 is well within reach; perhaps we could even brush the tail of level 260!"

Ta Ke, manipulating the Steam Astromancer, finely sensed everything inside.

After allocating source‑energy experience to raise his level to 224, Ta Ke began waiting for the massive stellar power to propel his Legendary ecology's growth.

If the digestion efficiency of the Legendary Star Flame Trait is set to 100,

The transport, refinement, absorption, and sedimentation of Legendary Star Flame become nutrients for the Legendary Sequence Tree, fostering its growth.

Previously, Ta Ke himself tried using his own Legendary ecology to absorb and digest these 【Faith Divine Flame Trait】 and 【Star Core Divine Flame Trait】.

Now, under the stars' catalysis in this divine forbidden land, the digestion efficiency is remarkably good.

These are kept by Ta Ke for leveling up.

The absorption and digestion of 【Faith Divine Flame Trait】 and 【Star Core Divine Flame Trait】 as "Divine Spirit Traits" resemble those of 15 and 16.

Ta Ke took a deep breath, preparing himself in all aspects.

As the stellar power of the divine forbidden land commands, the entire Legendary Sequence ecology grows at a soaring speed.

He pours the Steam Astromancy deep into the Gate of the Star Nest.

Ta Ke's hundred‑meter‑tall Legendary silhouette appears slightly diminutive.

As Ta Ke opens the Divine Kingdom–Miraculous Ancient House's link to the outside world.

As the first golden ray shines upon Ta Ke's Legendary silhouette.

Under the sparse clouds and the pale‑blue sky backdrop.

Ta Ke reaches for the steam‑chaos star core.

As stellar power continuously rises, increasing amounts of it propel Ta Ke's Legendary Sequence ecology.

The peculiar stellar origin transforms into ecological propulsion for the Legendary Sequence, causing Ta Ke's sequence to heat up.

"I must seize this period of advancement; in the star network ecology, it's my only chance to massively raise my level,"

Before the massive golden star and the floating island Star Nest.

This efficiency is already exceedingly exaggerated.

"Perhaps..." Ta Ke lifted his head, gazing at the huge dark‑golden star that had risen about a tenth of its height above the horizon.

"This is not merely the propulsion of the Legendary Sequence ecology!"

"It may even be... the sedimentation of demigod divinity."

"Stably suppressing the birth of Divine Flame, then with high efficiency advancing the absorption, digestion, and sedimentation of Divinity. If you claim this isn't a nest for cultivating demigods, I obviously won't believe you,"

After thoughtful contemplation and a deep breath, Ta Ke began steadily injecting 【Faith Divine Flame Trait】 and 【Star Core Divine Flame Trait】 into it.

Though this will lower the ceiling of Ta Ke's level increase!

But it can let Ta Ke settle enough Divinity.

And this is precisely the key at level 240 to ignite the Divine Flame and achieve a weak demigod.

The mid‑rank Legend trait can endure the Divine Flame's burning for a certain time, but cannot withstand it for long.

The more Divinity is settled, the better one can endure the Divine Flame, even control it.

And during the process of igniting the Divine Flame and transmuting Divine Power.

Divinity is the decisive factor for the strength of Divine Power.

So!

Whether low‑rank Legend, mid‑rank Legend, or even the "high‑rank Legend" that already has a demigod foundation.

In essence, they all enhance one's own Divinity.

Even Ta Ke's deep foundation as a low‑rank Legend wizard and his great talent find it hard to refine Divinity, which reveals the high level of his Divinity‑refining skill.

But now.

The push of star power is an excellent opportunity.

The advancement of the Legendary Ecological Sequence Tree can proceed slowly; even if Ta Ke lags, he can still gradually reach level 240, and he can add points anyway.

But at this moment, the powerful stars of this Divine Forbidden Land refine Divinity.

Once you pass this place, there's no such shop.

However, to be safe, Ta Ke still used a combination of refining part of the Legendary Trait and part of the Divine Trait to advance the digestion of Divinity.

After all, the Legendary Sequence Tree grows dynamically, which helps absorb and settle Divinity.

"My own settled Divinity is very, very difficult."

"Only at breakthrough of critical nodes, such as the full‑level‑10 node metamorphosis, can a little Divinity be settled."

"This time, if we steadily advance massive Divinity settlement, at the weak demigod level of 240, igniting the Divine Flame and controlling Divine Power will become effortless."

"I think those Green Star Clan, even the Starlight Giants, must also know this secret."

"But… they don't have my ability to rapidly raise levels while still refining Divinity."

The dark‑golden stars rise ever higher.

The efficiency of legendary ecological growth accelerates, and the refinement, absorption, and settlement of Divinity also steadily speed up.

Level 225!

Level 226!

Level 227!

Ta Ke's level continues to rise steadily.

When reaching the level‑230 node, with Ta Ke's breakthrough.

A massive flood of Divinity pours into the Legendary Sequence Tree like a torrent.

But this situation does not last long.

As the breakthrough completes, the efficiency of Divinity's refinement and settlement returns to calm.

Level 231!

Level 232!

Feeling the position of the dark‑golden stars, he calculates how much star power he can still receive.

Ta Ke steadily advances toward level 240.

In a steady and rapid progression.

Ta Ke also took out a long‑kept resource he had brought from the Ertia Ancient God Death Region.

Demigod‑grade material!

Fate·Ghost Divine Crystal

It leans toward darkness, with a hazy translucent hue.

Its pathways to the void appear in a dispersive form.

In the Chao Shen Da Shi tier.

Ta Ke's two ascensions employed interlaced light‑dark shadow power and formidable destructive annihilation power to complete the promotion and metamorphosis.

At that time, Ta Ke's great talent supported chaotic world power, steam ecological power, and insightful pathways, allowing him to conceal his trace and evade Fate's probing.

But as Ta Ke grew stronger, the former powers' protection on the Fate level gradually failed to conceal Ta Ke's sequence.

Then!

Ta Ke now needs to master some Fate power himself to achieve better concealment.

And the Fate·Ghost Divine Crystal is such a demigod‑grade top‑tier material.

He glanced at his own level.

Level 238.

And the dark‑golden stars have reached two‑thirds of the firmament.

One third of the time and progress remain; although it seems substantial, the ending will come faster than the sunrise!

Calming his mind, Ta Ke inserted the Fate·Ghost Divine Crystal into the Legendary Sequence ecology.

The Steam·Legendary Sequence Tree sprouted several steam tendrils, enveloping the Fate·Ghost Divine Crystal.

"Wooo…"

Under the drive of ecological power,

the Fate·Ghost Divine Crystal is being rapidly digested.

Countless hazy Fate threads slowly unfurl within the Steam·Legendary Sequence Tree.

At the same time!

Gloomy, obscure, hidden surveillance arrived, following like a shadow.

Within the divine nation, that altar ritual could not reach Taku.

But now it's outside!

Following the threads of fate, and the destined path of the Green Star Clan's struggle and slaughter with Taku.

The annihilating power surged like a tide.

Boom—

The death‑raised giant wave surged, shaking Taku's ecological world.

Even some undead creatures directly clung to Taku's Legendary Sequence Tree.

Hiss—

Skeletal undead on the Legendary Sequence Tree hissed as they annihilated.

Even the dark‑gold lustrous star that granted Taku ecological propulsion was now obscured by this sky‑covering death wave.

"Boom—"

As the death wave swept down,

"Woo—"

Mighty and surging, containing boundless steam power, like a beast it directly tore open the death wave.

At the same time.

Within the ecology of Taku's Steam Legendary Sequence Tree.

A chaos‑steam blazing sun rose.

Those that had seeped in and clung to Taku's Legendary Sequence Tree—the Green Star's annihilating undead—were swiftly dispelled by Taku.

Meanwhile, above the Legendary Ecology Canopy, a clear sun‑moon appeared and faded, laying a sharp layer of star traces over the world.

"I didn't expect you to dare come here to die."

While resisting the attack from the mysterious ritual and maintaining the digestion of the Fate Nethergod Crystal and ecological propulsion, Taku explained in a calm, natural voice.

"Just need to interrupt your advancement right now!"

The Green Star Clan's Star Void Prophet, who controlled the ritual's progress, spoke in an ethereal, vacuous tone.

"Each confrontation, each clash, and every interaction of fate's threads will be the power that collapses your destiny."

"You will witness your destiny collapse like a snow mountain!"

Taku, however, merely gave a faint smile.

"Your mysterious and deceitful words indeed have the power to strike the spirit!"

"But it doesn't work on everyone."

"When you think you are the hunter,"

"you will desperately discover you are merely a poacher on the path of the snow mountain's collapse."

"The snow mountain's collapse is inevitable, for… it will let you witness the truly towering mountain range and the eternal, unbreakable high mountain bastion!"

Between their words.

The clash of powers grew ever fiercer.

The Star Void Prophet's Legendary Divine Spirit Fate Blood Altar was shaking violently!

Around them, a Steam Star Net had risen; thin steam mist began to appear, then grew dense.

The roar of the steam grew ever more deafening!

Taku Ramor!

This legend from the Steam Origin Land wielded steam power more terrifying than what the Star Void Prophet had seen.

The deeper the confrontation, the more evident Taku Ramor's might became!

"Fate's materials, the threshold of a Mid Legend."

"He is seeking advancement, and also seeking the power to counter my altar ritual."

"Should we launch action immediately?"

The Star Void Prophet's thoughts sank low, and the prophet's mental arc further explored possible futures within the endless fate mist.

"Perhaps we can severely wound him, but it's very hard to kill him."

"Although this is a good opportunity, it's still not enough."

"But no matter what, we cannot let him break through so easily!"

"Even if we consume the ecological propulsion of his Floating Island Star Nest, it's good."

"The advancement of the Legendary Sequence is slow; blocking this advancement means he won't have such a good chance to reach mid‑tier."

"And this… is enough!"

In the midst of the confrontation.

Following the ritual's currents, death undead surged in dense masses, pouring like a tide into Taku's Steam Legendary Sequence ecology.

Although these tide‑like undead, once they entered, would be scorched by Taku's Steam Blazing Sun.

But under the circumstance of resisting foreign invasion and death entanglement, Taku wanting to continue upgrading, even to advance, was basically impossible.

Immediately, Taku ceased forcing his Legendary Sequence advancement.

Instead, he specialized in digesting the Fate Nethergod Crystal, the Legendary Sequence Ecology Tree, and the Divine Spirit trait.

And as the Fate Nethergod Crystal was digested and absorbed, Taku could do far more than that.

For example… the context of high‑dimensional fate!

When that Star Void Prophet kept attacking Taku,

the Taku whose Mid Legend foundation had been laid also, silently, began to feel out the opponent.

Until the dark-golden stars fell, the Floating Island Star Nest began to reject Ta Ke.

The Star Void Prophet, having blocked Ta Ke's advancement at level 238, departed satisfied.

In the fate trajectory he had probed, Ta Ke lacked sufficient precious treasure materials to support continuing his breakthrough advancement.

Raising two levels would take at least seven or eight years, or even more than ten years.

During that period, he had enough time to complete the assassination of Ta Ke.

…………

"Exhale... inhale..."

Inside the Divine Kingdom·Marvelous Abode Nation.

At this moment, Ta Ke, whose advancement had been blocked by the Star Void Prophet, showed no sign of frustration or dejection.

Instead, his heart was utterly calm, and even the corners of his mouth curled with a hint of a smile.

"Do you really think I cannot break through?"

"As things stand, that Star Void Prophet seems to think so."

"My legendary ecology foundation has been sufficiently advanced, solid and substantial; reaching level 240 is no problem."

"Moreover, I have already figured out some of the context of that altar."

"Unite with the Starlight Giants, and we can give them a giant-sized shock!"

"However... before that, we need to first add some upgrades."

With that thought, Ta Ke sat up cross-legged.

He opened the system interface, directly filled his experience, reaching the peak state of level 239.

Ta Ke, having fully digested the demigod treasure 【Fate·Yin Divine Crystal】, bathed in the power of a vast amount of steam·chaos star core, began steadily promoting his advancement to mid-level legendary.

Outside, Ta Ke could still be spied upon, but inside this Divine Kingdom's ecology, enemies cannot spy at all.

After a short half-day!

The aura of the mid-level legendary sequence began to suffuse Ta Ke's body.

Amid the surging waves of scorching steam, the mid-level legendary sequence let out a cheer.

The divine roar was even more about to blaze forth scorching heat; this is the foundation of a demigod.

However, in this divine-forbidden land, divine fire may not be ignited.

Under the witness of the myriad stars and blazing sun.

Ta Ke reached level 240, advanced to mid-level legendary, and stepped into the demigod realm!
