Divine Void Divine Kingdom

**Divine Void Divine Kingdom** was one of the two True Divinity level influences of the Asura Road. The one who established Divine Void Divine Kingdom, Soul Emperor Divine Void, was Empyrean Divine Mist’s brother. But at the same time, they shared a deep-seated blood hatred with each other.

Originally, they were two extreme sects that existed - the Divine Void Holy Lands and the Divine Mist Holy Lands. But because Empyrean Divine Mist strangely disappeared without any trace at all, everything relied on the support of Divine Void Divine Kingdom.

After Divine Void's ascension to divinity, they had become a True Divinity level Divine Kingdom of the Asura Road.

Divine Void Divine Kingdom was undoubtedly the number one spiritas influence in the entire inner Asura Road. But, this didn’t mean that there was no opponent that could match them.

The rival of Divine Void Divine Kingdom was also a True Divinity Holy Land, one of the saint race – Heaven Union Divine Kingdom.

Within the inner Asura Road, one saint True Divinity influence and one spiritas True Divinity influence, the two of them represented the ultimate strength of their respective races. Their struggles and rivalry were in a sense the struggle between the saints and spiritas!

## Overview

Divine Void Divine Kingdom was one of the two True Divinity influences native to the inner Asura Road, and their background was naturally deep. They were called the first spiritas influence in the entire Asura Road.

The disciples that came from Divine Void Divine Kingdom were spiritas and they had a naturally deep understanding into the aspects of the soul.

### **Boundless Divine Mountain**

This great martial treasure was a marvelous giant divine mountain that towered above the heavens, its upper mountain peak piercing into the sea of clouds. As it sped forwards, it brought about massive rumbling sounds in the air that left the world in turmoil.

On that magnificent divine mountain, there were a million silver warriors bathed in strange runes and holding icy cold spears in their hands. These million warriors were tall and strong, their features hidden in the dazzling radiance exuding from the glorious divine mountain.

This Boundless Divine Mountain is said to be a spirit treasure that has reached the limits of the Empyrean level. After another million years of refining, it might surpass an Empyrean spirit treasure and become a True Divinity spirit treasure! This treasure is eternally changing, with 10,000 different variations. It is an offensive and defensive fortress and is said to be Soul Emperor Divine Void’s most precious spirit treasure.

Dugu

## [source]

**Dugu** was one of the peak Empyreans of the god race; it was only that he was considerably old and didn’t have much time left remaining.

When he sacrificed himself for his people, he had indifferently withstood.

Compared to Whitemark, Dugu had grown up in the wilderness since his youth, living by drinking the blood of birds and beasts. His disposition was more detached.

Once, he had ventured into the Primeval Realm Ruins as an assassin. His hands were stained with the blood of saint martial artists.

> *“I have nothing much to say. I have no descendants, only myself…”*
>
>

Dugu’s eyes were neither sad nor happy. Instead, they contained a calm tranquility and an iron-hard resoluteness.

He had once been young, and he had also deeply loved someone.

However… in his long life, the woman he loved was not able to give birth to a child.

The reproductive capabilities of the primal god race were far too low. It was as if the Heavenly Dao had placed a curse upon them…

He had arrived alone in this world and now he would die alone. Perhaps this was his fate for being an assassin, but presently, he was no longer an assassin…
Gu Yue

## [source]

Carnage Demon Sect’s Claymore King, Gu Yue.

The Carnage Demon Sect is a fifth-grade sect, and Gu Yue is a direct disciple. His strength can be ranked in the top ten of the Skysplit Tower's first floor.

Within the first elite group, there were also those that were weaker and stronger. This large Giant Demon fellow was stronger than Zha Na.

In a corner of the arena, a large Giant Demon fellow crushed the glass in his hands. This Giant Demon wore black clothes and carried a nine foot long claymore on his back.
Great Zen Temple

The entire Great Zen Temple had a total of three great abbots. The Great Zen Temple had a very deep and formidable strength, and they had dominated the entire Great Zen Region for thousands of years now. They were a fifth-grade sect truly worthy of that reputation. Whether it was power or their inheritance, they were stronger than the South Sea Demon Region in all aspects.

No matter which abbot it was from the Great Zen Temple, they were an existence that the Sovereigns of the Five Element Region’s seven sects all had to respectfully bow to.
Duke Fullmoon

## [source]

**Duke Fullmoon** is an elite spiritas martial artist from the Divine Void Kingdom. He met Lin Ming in the Divine Runic Masters Guild.

As a spiritas, Duke Fullmoon’s strongest offensive abilities were soul attacks. Thus, when he fought, there would ordinarily be soul attacks within his strikes.

Wanting to block Duke Fullmoon’s physical strike wasn’t difficult at all. But, wanting to keep off his soul attack was different. Many enemies of his had fallen beneath this strange soul attack.

## Description

The one who spoke was a blue-clothed man. He was dressed ordinarily and looked like a mortal scholar. His cultivation was obscured and it was difficult to see his depths.

And sitting beside him were several young men and women. These people all wore top grade vestments and golden crowns. Their foundations were solid and their looks were outstanding; it was clear they were elites among elites, and even so these people clearly looked towards the blue-clothed man with respect.

## Quotes

* (To Xiao Moxian)

> *“This miss is called Xian’er, right? What amazing abilities you have! It seems we have had some misunderstandings before, but to meet today in the final trial could be called a stroke of luck. As they say, you won’t know someone unless you fight them. No matter what problems we’ve had in the past with each other, allow me take the initiative to apologize for anything I might have done wrong. How about we clean away any past animosities we might have?”*
>
>

* (Duke Fullmoon, to touch upon her reverse scale)

> *“Smart birds and beasts know where to make their home, and wise men understand their circumstances. You aren’t counting on your lover leaving the Gate of Laws, right? Hehe! If he kept a little lower profile, with his little cheap tricks in the divine runic arts he might have caused some small influences to have some interest in him. But what a pity…”*
>
>

## Trivia

* Duke Fullmoon wasn’t too old and he had a grand and glorious future awaiting him. There was even a slight chance for him to step into the Empyrean realm.
* Duke Fullmoon had chosen the earth-step difficulty of the Gate of Laws. Although he didn’t perfectly complete it, his performance had been adequate and he had obtained a great many things from the battles. From this alone, Duke Fullmoon was more than satisfied.

Emperor Level

In the Sky Spill Continent, they are referred to as the the peak and highest powers of the continent. Usually, only Divine Sea cultivators are considered as Emperor level powerhouses. This sort of Emperor could only be used to describe a top powerhouse of the lower realms. An Emperor level powerhouse of the Sky Spill Continent was a completely different concept from an Emperor of the Divine Realm.

However, an Emperor powerhouse is not the same as a Divine Sea powerhouse. A Divine Sea martial artist is an Emperor level powerhouse, but an Emperor level powerhouse isn’t necessarily a Divine Sea martial artist

In the Sky Spill Continent, an Emperor level powerhouse was only a title, not a true name for a cultivation realm. When a martial artist had reached a certain level of strength, they would then be recognized as an Emperor level powerhouse. Although there was a massive disparity between Life Destruction and the Divine Sea, there were still some heaven-gifted individuals who could contend with a Divine Sea powerhouse at only the Life Destruction realm.

Such a person would equally be able to obtain the title of Emperor powerhouse.

In particular, there were eighth stage Life Destruction martial artists. These were extremely rare and precious talents whose strength far surpassed all other martial artists at their level. After crossing Life Destruction eight times, they might even be more powerful than an early Divine Sea powerhouse.

For the last 100,000 years, every eighth stage Life Destruction Divine Sea Supreme Elder had become the highest under the heavens. However, the highest under the heavens wasn’t necessarily an eighth stage Life Destruction Divine Sea martial artist.

For instance, the most recent highest under the heavens was Emperor Shakya, who had crossed seven stages of Life Destruction.

Normally, an Emperor level talent had one or two aspects that they could claim to be the best in within the entire continent. Those that excelled in three or four aspects could be called the rarest talents within the world, someone who would eventually become the highest under the heavens.

Those powerhouses that truly broke through to the Divine Sea mostly broke through at around a hundred years of age. As for those that broke through at several hundred or even a thousand years of age, that was usually completely dependent on whether or not they found any lucky chances.

And the strength of the people who made a breakthrough this way would often be far inferior to those Divine Sea powerhouses who made a breakthrough with their own strength.
Golden Crow

This bird had a back like a mountain range and its wingspan extended for hundreds of miles. As its wings unfurled, they were wide enough to blot out the skies and sharp like unrivalled divine weapons. Its claws gleamed with a cold light as if they were pillars that supported the heavens.

This was a massive golden crow with a body several hundred miles long. It had an appearance similar to that of a phoenix. This was a distant relative of a True Roc.
Force Field

A **Force Field** can be virtually anything. Basically a force field is like the phenomena of a martial artist's cultivation methods and techniques. It could be one's cultivation method, aura, killing intent, dantian or inner world projection, absolutely anything!

The truth was that one's pressure was also a type of force field. When a powerhouse reached a certain level in their cultivation, and their inner energy became formidable enough, this type of force field would naturally form. It would make those that were weaker simply unable to step near or even look straight at them.

A martial artist’s aura was a similar type of energy to a force field or domain. It was a special intangible existence; it was able to expand at near the speed of light. The aura that a martial artist could send out was able to directly pressure opponents. If a large disparity in strength existed, then it wasn’t unusual for this aura to make others vomit blood or even kill them.

Some have a tyrannical momentum, brutal and aggressive, and some have a steady aura as if they returned to their true self, indiscernible from a mortal. Especially those Supreme Elders, they had the aura of the eternal starry skies, unbounded and immortal.

Force field abilities were exceedingly rare abilities; one could even say that it was a one in a hundred thousand chance of having one. It was a highly revered and respected ability.

This was not because a force field was freakishly strong, but because a force field could coexist alongside martial skills. It could invisibly increase a martial artist's strength or have a number of other effects without affecting the martial artist’s fighting ability at all.

### **Variations**

The most common type of force field was the pressure that came from a superior martial artist. When a powerhouse reached a certain level in their cultivation, and their inner energy became formidable enough, this type of force field would naturally form. It would make those that were weaker simply unable to step near or even look straight at them.

A force field ability was rare, a Law type force field like the Blue Lotus Domain was a bit rarer, and a martial intent force field was even rarer than that. Normally, anyone that could comprehend just a single force field, or even multiple force fields, were extreme geniuses!

While Law force fields were similar when a martial artist comprehended them, martial intent force fields were different. Martial intent force fields were developed based on a martial artist’s cultivation method, true essence, physical characteristics, and countless other constantly shifting variables. There was simply no single standard to identify them. A martial intent force field was similar to a martial artist’s thumbprint, or the unique composition of their very being; every one was different, thus it was normal to not recognize it!
Five Fadings of Death

When an ordinary person died, they would do so from the prime of their life, slowly aging as their fires of life weakened. Finally, their life would come to an end and they would die. This process might occupy a third of their lifespan.

But for a top supreme elder of the Divine Realm, if they were able to live for 10 million years, they would be glowing with vitality for 9.99 million of those years. Only at the final stages of their death would they experience the five fadings of death. These five fadings were: soiled clothes, sweat pouring from armpits, withering of the crown, stench of the body, loss of awareness.

If one experienced the five fadings of death, that meant their fires of life were rapidly waning and the end of their life was soon approaching.

One should know that when a martial artist is young, that is when their martial arts progress is the fastest and usually when they make any progress at all. Once they reach middle age or old age, their cultivation begins to decline, not to mention making any further breakthroughs.

If they already reached the point of five fadings, then it would be a miracle of miracles that they would be reborn.

Epoch

The infinite universe, the vast and boundless space –

A massive spirit ship quietly sped through the starry space.

This spirit ship was named **‘Epoch’**. The name signified humanity’s wish to usher in a new epoch, one where their people would rise to glory once more. It was an Empyrean spirit ship used to transfer the elites of humanity towards the Wild Universe. Epoch was naturally far slower than the Ark of Hope, and from start to finish, it would require two months to reach its destination.

During this trip, Epoch would have to pass through over a dozen great worlds of the Divine Realm  before finally arriving at a small world called theBluesnow Realm.

Then, the human race would enter the borders of the God Lamenting Wall that leads to the nearby Wild Universe.
Fleeting Fire Centipede

This horrifying centipede was over 100 feet long and had a carapace that was burning with flames. It let out a dreadful roar, and wherever it went trees would be shorn apart like little twigs.

It was far too fast, fast to the point of leaving one in despair. This was the speed of a top Life Destruction master.
Face

Face (面子 miànzi) – a person’s reputation in society and amongst their peers. If someone “has face” (有面子), they have a good reputation. If they “have no face” (没面子), then they have a bad reputation. “Giving face” (给面子) to someone means to defer to or pay homage to them. “Losing face” (丢脸) means that a person has hurt their reputation. “Not wanting face” (不要脸) means that a person is acting shamelessly, in a way that suggests they don’t care about hurting their reputation.

Dragon Egg

video File:Placeholder
The dragon egg given to Lin Ming by the dragon sovereign, a 'partner' of Empyrian Primordius, in Ch. 1384.

The hatching of a God Beast was an extremely long process to begin with. With the black dragon egg following Lin Ming, it had already taken numerous shortcuts to get where it was, thus it only used a short 100 years to grow to such a degree.

Flood

## [source]

‘Flood’ -  according to the sparse historical records, it had passed the abyssal ritual 2 billion years ago to ascend and become the newest totem level abyssal from the Demon God’s Tomb.

Flood was the youngest of all the totem level abyssals, but it was also incomparably mysterious; it rarely appeared, even in the Great Flood Demon Kingdom.

It seemed that Deep and Flood were mortal enemies. Legends said that these two supreme powerhouses of the abyss fought once in the 16th layer, and the surrounding area for billions of miles had turned into desert and countless lives had been lost.

## Description

In the Great Flood Demon Kingdom’s capital city, a 1000 mile long life form, similar to a python, was perched atop a divine mountain. Its amber pupils flashed with icy light as it stared at the countless abyssals kneeling at the base of the divine mountain.

This giant snake had a pair of wings on its back and four claws. There was also a single horn jutting from its head. It resembled a Flood Dragon a little, and was also the true ruler of the Great Flood Demon Kingdom – Flood!
Gate of Pain

Within body transformation’s Eight Inner Hidden Gates, the gate that increased strength the most was the Gate of Pain. However, after the Gate of Pain opened, this eruption of strength would continue; it wouldn’t happen just once. With every one of the next four gates that were opened, more strength would be released until the opening of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates reached completion. At that time, one would have the supernatural strength of tens of millions of jins. When that strength was combined with some body transformation type martial skills, the physical might one could bring out of their abilities would reach a terrifying degree.
Dual Sword Users

A dual swordsman had the advantages of using dual swords. However, a true orthodox swordsman held a single blade as their king. Those swordsmen that pursued the ultimate pinnacle of the sword almost all used a single blade. Of course, in ancient times there was also a legendary swordsman named Wang Chengsheng who had had used the rare dual sword method.

Up until now, Lin Ming had seen several martial artists who used two swords. For instance, the Seven Profound Valleys’ Jiang Baoyun used two swords.

Dual Polarity Palace’s Zhong Wenshu was the same. He used twin black and white swords in order to display his distinctive Yin Yang Laws. This was also the reason for Dual Polarity Palace’s name. Yin and Yang, representing extreme polar opposites.

And even True Martial Holy Lands' Wu Finalcloud used two swords. One light and one heavy. The light sword was called the Cloud Dimming Blade and was used in coordination with his extraordinary speed. It was to help in displaying Metal Laws, Wind Laws, and the Concept of Speed.

And this crimson heavy sword was called the Great Blood Sword. It was the sword Wu Finalcloud used when he was at his highest level of strength.

A double sword type martial artist often didn’t use both swords together. Rather, each sword had its own unique uses. A long sword was fast, tricky, and could change myriad times, but its striking power was lacking.

When facing a crazy and savage frontal attack like Lin Ming’s Hundred Layered Waves, the sword light of a long sword would be far weaker in comparison and it would be extremely difficult to block such heavy-handed attacks. Thus, they would bring out a second sword.

Grand Universe World King

## [source]

At a seat just to the side of the tall and sturdy man, a hearty-looking blue-clothed old man stroked his beard as he spoke in a modest tone. Even so, he couldn’t conceal the smile in his words. It was clear that he was satisfied that one of the disciples from his Grand Universe Holy Lands was almost in the top 10 ranks.

The Grand Universe World King was the Great World King of Vast Universe World. However, because of the unstated taboo of having a name similar to Vast Universe Heavenly Palace, they certainly couldn’t name themselves the Vast Universe Holy Lands. Thus, their name instead was the Grand Universe Holy Lands. Correspondingly, the Great World King of Vast Universe World was also called the Grand Universe World King.
God Beast

God Beasts were the supreme vicious beasts of the entire universe. Although legends said that deep within the Asura Sea there were one or two super beasts that could compare with True Divinities, legends were only legends; no one had seen them before.

A God Beast was an existence that approached a true divine god. They possessed the so-called ‘eyes of heaven’, something that humans did not have. They were beings of a higher realm. However, their comprehension and creativity were lacking. Their great strength originated from the innate gifts they were birthed with as well as their bloodline and genes.

As for a human’s perception and creativity, that was limited by their physical restriction. If they wanted to perceive the Laws of the universe they would encounter great barriers blocking their way.

If a martial artist was able to integrate both together, the benefits would be enormous!

A God Beast was an existence situated between a World King and an Empyrean.

How many God Beasts were there in the Divine Realm? No one could say for sure, but it was absolutely a minority, a king of beasts!

There were even types of God Beasts that had only one member. Between the heavens and earth, they were singular. Within the vast universe, they were unique! Only when this type of unique God Beast died would the next reincarnation of that God Beast appear. This could be said to be a rule of the Heavenly Dao!

## Divine Body

Without a doubt, a God Beast from the Realm of the Gods was a high level existence that dual cultivated body and essence. They had powerful bodies and a vast, immeasurable amount of energy was contained within them. Not just that, but they were naturally more suited towards the Laws of the universe than humans, or rather that they were part of the Laws to begin with.

A God Beast was the beloved of the natural Laws. Their bones were carved with the Laws and their flesh and blood were fused with Law runes. Their organs were able to commune with the world, forming a five element grand array. Their bodies were not what human bodies could compare with. They were like amalgamations of the Heavenly Dao, capable of directly accessing and using the power of the world!

The power of these Laws originated from the Great Dao Laws that were carved into the very being of a Phoenix God Beast. A God Beast and a human were two completely different life forms. When a human was born, their comprehension of Laws was at nothing, and they would have to completely rely on meditation and their own hard-earned comprehension after birth to perceive the Laws. As for a God Beast, once they were born, the Laws would be engraved into their flesh, their blood, and their bones, becoming an inextricable part of their body. Thus, every single inch of a God Beast was an incomparably precious treasure, especially their blood essence that contained the condensed life force of the God Beast!

If a God Beast’s strength didn’t mainly rely on their talent while their ability to learn was extremely poor, then they would have even surpassed human Empyreans.
Good Fortune Divine Art

A peak level cultivation method of the Good Fortune Holy Lands. It is the most core inheritance of the saint race, practiced exclusively by the bloodline of the Saint Sovereigns.

## Description

A technique that seized the good fortune of the world. The so-called good fortune was that of nature the strength of heaven and earth. In a universe, besides the mortals that lived there, it was the sum of everything.

When a person seized the power of good fortune then the world would lose its spiritual energy and vitality, slowly moving it towards entropy, towards death and decay. Truly a cruel and overbearingly tyrannical cultivation method. Once the Good Fortune Divine Art is used, it would annihilate all life vitality within a space. Wherever the Good Fortune Divine Art passed, all would be barren; not a single blade of grass would remain green. The greater the strength of the one using it, the more terrifying the degree of annihilation.

In the myths, it was said that in the most ancient times the first ancestors of the saint race had gone to war and that in the great worlds they visited, they would leave behind endless tracts of deserts filled with nothing but deathly silence. The destruction would continue for over a trillion miles and even after a billion years it still wouldn’t be completely restored.

## Origins

In the legends, it was said that it was created by the ancestors of the saints and then supplemented through multiple generations of True Divinities, becoming ever more perfect. Now, the current Good Fortune Divine Art had long been the most core inheritance of the entire saint race.

Afterwards, it was revealed that it was a cultivation method discovered by a past Saint Sovereign during his adventures in the Primeval Ruins Realm.

## Trivia

* It has a complete 12 levels and to reach the final level, one must have atleast a cultivation at Superior True Divinity.
* The Good Fortune Divine Art could be called the strongest cultivation method within the entire saint race.
* If a True Divinity were to use this ability, they could suck dry a great world.
* In the myths, it was said that in the most ancient times the first ancestors of the saint race had gone to war and that in the great worlds they visited, they would leave behind endless tracts of deserts filled with nothing but deathly silence. The destruction would continue for over a trillion miles and even after a billion years it still wouldn’t be completely restored.
Heaven Opening Pill

A Heaven Opening Pill appeared to be a crystal clear emerald pill, the size of a longan. It shined with an incomparably pure origin energy.

As far as most martial artists were concerned, taking a Heaven Opening Pill was their life’s grandest and most solemn event. There were even those who prepared for decades for this! They would cultivate until their cultivation couldn’t rise even a tiny bit more, and they would wait until their Zither Heart or Sword Heart or whatever else had reached its own bottleneck. Finally, they would go into seclusion and swallow the Heaven Opening Pill. Earlier, if Qin Ziya hadn’t been worried about failing to break through to the Xiantian realm due to his 50 years of age and low chance of ever receiving another Heaven Opening Pill, causing a problem with his Zither Heart, then he would most likely have broken through.

Most martial artists would hold a series of rituals before they took the Heaven Opening Pill. They would choose an auspicious date and bathe in incense. Afterwards, they might even stay in seclusion for over a year to refine all of the medicine and not let a single bit go to waste.
Foggy Ice Flower

Foggy Ice Flower, high-grade earth-step medicinal herb. This sort of herb was quite rare even if placed within a fifth-grade sect.

The Foggy Ice Flower was an ice-attribute heavenly material that martial artists dreamt of. It wasn’t of much use to Lin Ming himself, but it could be used to exchange for a fire-attribute or thunder-attribute material of the same value.

It had to be known that there were often many sorts of resources that could not be purchased solely with true essence stones. Powerhouses often had little need for true essences stones. At this time, they would only trade materials for materials. In these moments, a high-grade earth-step Foggy Ice Flower would be able to play a great role.
Huang Qi

## [source]

Lin Ming continued looking. He saw many outstanding figures of the ancient past. Their origins and lives were briefly described on their graves. They came from different universes of the 33 Heavens, and each one of them was a ruler of their era, a king of their time!

Their strength was far beyond that of the Empyreans of the present!

But of these people, only a small number had their bodies buried here. Most of these graves were filled with battle armors, weapons, clothes, or some other objects that the grave master used before their death. There were even some people that only had a tombstone as a marker, with nothing inside at all.

In addition, on their epitaphs, the words ‘33 Heavens calamity’ appeared more than once.

Demon Concubine Yuan Chi had died in battle within the great calamity of the 33 Heavens.

Martial Saint Huang Qi had died in battle within the great calamity of the 33 Heavens.

Cold Ice Fairy Yun Meng had died in battle within the great calamity of the 33 Heavens…

Grandma Goldwind

## [source]

Grandma Goldwind was an inner Asura Road Empyrean.

A bird that resembled a phoenix flew towards this area. On the back of this bird sat an old woman dressed in a phoenix robe and wearing a golden crown. She leaned on a golden walking stick and exuded a rich and opulent aura. Her eyes seemed to contain a great pressure, making it difficult for others to feel at ease.

She had lead her female disciples to the Final Trial after the saints' had ruled over the Divine Realm.
Eight Dragon Jade Dawn Array

The space inside the cave was enormous. It had a radius of hundreds of feet, and in the center of the space was a giant 30 foot pill furnace. This pill furnace was surrounded by eight flaming red columns,and these fiery columns had statues of Horned Dragons carved into them. The eight Horned Dragons aimed their wide maws at the pill furnace. Waves of red tinted energy breathed out from the statues, enveloping the pill furnace and creating an image like a rising dawn.

The coiling dragon column was thick and high, it was unknown just what sort of metal it was made of. It was over 100 feet high, and had a lifelike Horned Dragon carved into it. A deep red flame came shooting out from the column. At this time, it was as if the Horned Dragon was alive and had opened its great jaws, constantly unleashing a dawn-red fire at the Cosmic Melting Furnace.
God Lamenting Wall

The **God Lamenting Wall** was a great enchantment formed from the Heavenly Dao Laws. It divided the 33 Heavens and was incomparably firm.

Beneath the mysterious control of the Heavenly Dao Laws, parts of the God Lamenting Wall would periodically weaken like the rise and fall of a tide. But, there were also some parts of the God Lamenting Wall that were always firm.

And for these firm parts of the God Lamenting Wall, even a peak Empyrean wouldn’t be able to leave behind a trace.

Only a True Divinity would be able to open up a connection by damaging their cultivation. But, this so-called connection was only temporary and couldn’t be maintained.

For instance, 100,000 years ago, the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign had targeted Empyrean Primordius, and in order to chase him down he had formed a connection in the God Lamenting Wall. But this connection wasn’t able to last too long and afterwards, the God Lamenting Wall had slowly regenerated itself.

## Wormholes

The walls dividing the 33 Heavens were by no means perfect. For a very small number of exceptions there were sometimes ‘wormholes’ or ‘black holes’ that broke through the space barriers in extremely mysterious places.

However, even if such mystical places existed it was still nearly impossible for a martial artist to pass through. But, if there was a True Divinity level powerhouse that was willing to sacrifice a portion of their cultivation, they could transform these mystical lands and form a connection through the barriers dividing the 33 Heavens.

When the saints first entered the universe of humanity to kill Empyrean Primordius and steal away the Grandmist Spirit Bead, that was all due to the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign personally creating a connection that passed through the God Lamenting Wall.

However, the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign didn’t find a wormhole or other crack in the wall. Rather, he used his powerful cultivation to penetrate a hole through the God Lamenting Wall.

But the ancient ruin that Empyrean Divine Dream mentioned was different. This place was originally a weak point of the God Lamenting Wall to begin with, and due to the efforts of the unknown ancient True Divinities, these places had become something similar to a transmission array connecting two universes that could be preserved for a long time.
Dreameater Fiend

This is a legendary creature that takes the dreams and souls of others as its food. It can hypnotize human martial artists and specializes in having them dream so that it can swallow them. It can have a person sleep forever, never awakening again. Or perhaps it might just kill them in their dreams. If someone were to be killed by this dreameater fiend in their dreams, then they really would die in reality.
Fog Valley Tribe

Fog Valley Tribe was a very common tribe within the countless large and small tribes of the Southern Wilderness. Its population was only at 4 or 5 thousand. It was located in a mountain valley, and in the early morning the valley would fill with a heavy fog, thus it had acquired its name.

Fog Valley Tribe was only 600 miles away from the Fire Worm Tribe. Ten years ago it had fallen to the Fire Worm Tribe, and was now a servant tribe to them. Its Tribal Chief had been slaughtered, and now their ruler was a Fire Worm man. Every year they would have to pay tribute in pigs, cattle, sheep, silks, wines, and minerals all to the Fire Worm Tribe.
Diwuhen

## [source]

**Diwuhen** is the patriarch of the Primal God Race. He was also a disciple of the old God Sovereign and a War General.

## First

The old God Sovereign spoke another name. This person was the youngest peak Empyrean amongst the god race and was only 2 million years old. His strength was incomparably deep and he ranked amongst the top couple of martial artists of the god race!

## Plot

Diwuhen was one of the talented Empyreans of the Primal God race that had entered the Asura Forbidden Land.

When the ancient races fled towards humanity and was besieged by the saints on both sides, Diwuhen had acted as a leader of the god race.

After escaping the Primeval Ruins Realm, Diwuhen became the Patriarch. The primal god race had been invaded by the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign and the old Patriarch had died in battle. Afterwards, Diwuhen had been left in charge of managing all matters concerning the primal god race, becoming the new Patriarch.

### **Asura Sea War**

In this unprecedented era of war, all of the 33 Heavens had unified against the abyss demons. In order to prepare for the final battle, the Asura Road Master had released all of its resources to the martial artists.

From the time that Lin Ming went into seclusion, coupled with the time enchantment, the martial artists of the 33 Heavens had practiced for over 50,000 years. During this time, many masters of the different races had sprung forth and entered True Divinity.

Lin Huang, Xiao Moxian, Soaring Feather God King, and Emperor Shakya had broken into the middle True Divinity realm.

Dragon Fang, Jun Bluemoon, Hang Chi, Fairy Blue Lotus, Dark Demon Monarch, as well as the primal god race’s **Diwuhen**, Lan Xin, and the celestial race’s To Bagui, and many others also broke into the lower True Divinity realm.

Because the Asura Road had released all the resources it had accumulated for 10 billion years and also because the various ancient influences of the three great races had unconditionally opened all of their inheritances, the strength of the martial artists of the 33 Heavens had reached an unprecedented peak that hadn’t been achieved since 10 billion years ago.

After becoming the patriarch, he had silently held this position for 20,000 years until he sacrificed himself during the final war. In the face of his race’s extinction, as they stood upon the raging winds and waves, there was no joy and beauty in the position of Patriarch. Rather, to carry this title meant heavy responsibility and immense pressure.

Gate of Wonder

The third gate was called the Gate of Wonder.

After one reached the second stage of body transformation, every time one of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates was opened, one would obtain a greater strength. At the same time, every gate corresponded to obtaining a special ability.

For instance, the first gate, the Gate of Healing, was located at the point between the clavicles. After opening this gate, besides a martial artist's overall strength rising, it would also greatly enhance their endurance and recovery ability.

For the second gate, the Gate of Limit, that was located at the spine: the area called the dragon bone. Opening this gate would increase one’s balance and explosive force.

As for the third gate, the Gate of Wonder, that was located at the two knees. Opening this gate would increase a martial artist’s strength, and the special ability it granted was to greatly increase a martial artist’s speed.

The Gate of Wonder had the effect of an overall increase in speed and instant acceleration. This differed from the Gate of Healing, which managed endurance and restorative ability, and the Gate of Limit, which handled balance, coordinated strength, and explosive force.

This newly opened gate would be able to increase one’s combat effectiveness far more directly than the first two gates.

Speed was one of the most important factors of a martial artist’s comprehensive combat strength. It was far more straightforward than endurance, recovery ability, or explosive force!

Speed was undoubtedly important in evading and chasing. It would also greatly increase a martial artist’s attack strength.

As the old saying went, speed was insurmountable. A martial artist’s own speed could superimpose on the speed of their own attacks. If their attacks were fast enough, then even a tiny stone rock could easily pierce through the body. If Lin Ming poured his battle spirit into his attacks as the foundation, then the resulting power would be even more terrifying.
Great Flood Demon Kingdom

Out of the three true totem abyss devil influences, there was also Great Flood Demon Kingdom’s ruler – ‘Flood’. This was the last of the six totem level abyssals that had appeared in the last several billion years.

In fact, Great Flood Demon Kingdom was renowned as the number one influence of the entire Dark Abyss. With it as the lead, there were two other totem level influences beneath it as well as a number of smaller influences gathered around it. The alliance they formed was the greatest opponent of Deep King Road’s alliance.
Good Fortune Legion

The Good Fortune Saint Palace deserved its reputation as the undisputed number one top influence of the saints. The troops under its direct control were far stronger than any other random saint legion.

In fact, even if the second and third legions of Saint Convocation Heaven joined together, they were still far inferior to the personal troops of the Good Fortune Saint Palace.

This legion wasn’t numbered. It had a name, and its name came from the Good Fortune Saint Palace; it was called the Good Fortune Legion.

Although the Good Fortune Legion didn’t have the illustrious and fierce reputation of the Legion of Famine, it had more saint powerhouses than an ox had hairs. The name of the Good Fortune Legion rang through the ears of all like thunder.

The Good Fortune Legion hadn’t killed many people, but to humanity they were actually a great deterrent!

Besides Divine Dream Heavenly Palace, if any other human influence were to bump into the Good Fortune Legion, their only choice would be to flee into the wild.
Great Zen Region

The Great Zen Region was larger than even the combined area of the South Horizon Region and the Five Element Region.

In the Great Zen Region, Buddhist sects were the most prosperous and grand. The head of all these was the fifth-grade sect Great Zen Temple. They had united many third-grade and fourth-grade sects and created an alliance of the righteous path.

In the past, the Great Zen Temple had once participated in the siege of Silent Demon Emperor City.

Martial Aura

A martial artists aura was in the end the energy field that surrounded them. Those that studied orthodox cultivation methods would have an energy field that veered towards the correct path, and those that studied demonic path cultivation methods had temperaments that tended to seem demonic, their auras seemingly more demonic and bloody.
Fire Worm Tribe

The Fire Worm Tribe is a cannibalistic tribe. In the Southern Wilderness, there are tribes that treat human beings as food; they will treat prisoners as food, and they especially eat pagans. The Na Tribe believe in the Sorcerer, and take those that believe in Shamanism is their sworn enemy, so they also regard the Na Tribe as pagans.
God Curse Art

The God Curse Art was the cause of the strange phenomenon of the Blood Slaughter Steppes, which affected anyone above Revolving Core. It was left behind by Good Fortune Saint Sovereign when he battled with Empyrean Primordius and Heavenly Monarch Xuanqing for the Grandmist Spirit Bead, and drained Venerate Dragon and Empyrean Primordius's disciples of their vitality. In the aftermath Empyrean Primordius was unable to break the curse or free them, and so prolonged their life using an array of his own.
Houtian

**Houtian & Xiantian** (后天 hòutiān / 先天 xiāntiān) – the names of two cultivation stages which appear in several novels, with the Houtian stage preceding the Xiantian stage. *Houtian* can mean Posterior Heaven / Postcelestial / Acquired. *Xiantian* can mean Anterior Heaven / Precelestial / Innate. Very roughly, the idea is that something “Xiantian” is primordial and thus close to the Dao, while something “Houtian” is degraded or further away from the Dao.

* “Houtian & Xiantian” are derived from Daoism and Internal Alchemy. There’s a belief that people are born with a small amount of Xiantian treasures (Essence, Qi and Spirit). By practicing Daoist cultivation and internal alchemy, they can absorb and refine the Houtian Qi of the natural world to steadily increase their supply of Xiantian treasures (which grant health and longevity benefits).

## Description

The sign of the Houtian realm was true essence accumulating in the dantian

* The difference between the Pulse Condensation period and the Houtian realm was that a Houtian realm master could save and condense true essence in his dantian. But, a Pulse Condensation period martial artist could only contain true essence within their meridians. Naturally, the dantian could hold a much greater amount of true essence than the meridians.
* Qi starts condensing in the Dantian. Can place essence into the dantian rather than just the meridians. Essence quality achieves a qualitative change.

## Stages

* Early
* Middle
* Late
* Peak

## Trivia

* A Houtian master, if placed in a second-grade influence/sect like the Sky Fortune Kingdom, would be one of the most respected.
* A Houtian master, if placed in a third-grade sect like the Seven Profound Valleys, would be an envoy to a Martial House master.
* A Houtian master, if placed in a fourth-grade sect like the Divine Phoenix Island, would be a disciple.

Fourth Demon Envoy

## [source]

The **Fourth Demon Envoy**, was similar with the other three demon envoys, they appeared to be a black-clothed middle-aged man who was at the sixth stage of Life Destruction. Each of them had even a slim chance of reaching the Divine Sea realm!

Without a doubt, this person was one of the Asura Divine Kingdom’s Demon Envoys, a character ranked in the top 100 masters of the Destiny Decree!

After chasing Lin Ming into the 8000 Mile Black Swamp, they had suddenly stumbled upon the Yellow Springs River. When the severely wounded Demon Three saw this river, his eyes turned dull and his face stiffened before he began walking towards the river like he had lost his soul.

Demon Four felt that something was wrong and wanted to pull him back but he actually suffered the same fate. They had both become walking corpses, unable to be awakened.

As they walked into the river, whatever the water ran over turned into bone, swallowing up all their flesh and blood.
Four God Beast Clans

When the four God Beast Clans joined up, and when fully united, they surpassed even an ordinary World King Holy Land. But between the four clans was also an extremely fierce competition, each one hoping that their own people would tower over the other three clans. However, for so many years, every time the four clans competed, the one that always held the upper hand was the Ancient Dragon Clan.
Far East Family

Lin Ming had met two brothers from this family during his first Asura Road Final Trial.

These two youths were a pair of genius brothers that came from an ancient martial family at the far east side of the Asura Road. They had experienced repeated life or death situations to finally arrive at this area in the fourth level.

The two were talented young brothers from the Far East Family, an ancient family of martial artists.

After they arrived at the fourth level they had been chased by a giant diamond ape but had been luckily rescued by Lin Ming.

Afterward separating, they were besieged by dangers on all sides. By relying on a variety of methods they managed to flee the disasters and wait until the spatial entrance to the fifth level opened.

On the fourth floor they hadn’t come across any great lucky chance but they had found some reasonably decent medicinal herbs. And most importantly, their final completion percentage had risen to over 40%. After the final trial ended they would be able to obtain more rewards.
Divine Wind Family

**Divine Wind Family**was an intermediate clan from the Soul World, slightly larger than Zenith Palace. They took World Kings as their ancestors.

They had an enmity with Zenith Palace and bumped into each other inside of the Akashic Dream Universe. Afterwards, they placed a tracing mark within the disciple of Zenith Palace and hired Senior Solitude to kill them.

However, they were all eliminated by Lin Muk as the final merit points for him to reach a billion points. Just enough for the golden page reward.
Fang Qiren

## [source]

The number one disciple of the Phoenix Hall in Praying Phoenix Palace. He could be considered the chief disciple their and was somewhat equal to an Elder.

In their generation, he stood side by side with the likes of White Daohong and Lu Xiaoyun of Charming Phoenix Palace .

In the past 100 years, only White Daohong, Lu Xiaoyun, and Praying Phoenix Palace’s Fang Qiren had been able to reach the fifth level as rookie disciples. Fang Qiren had already reached 120 years of age and was no longer a disciple, instead becoming a Hall Protector.
