From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

As he spoke with Soul Ink, Li Yang carefully sensed the unique energy produced by refining the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood.

It was this strange energy that had caused his power to skyrocket—a surge in his fundamental strength.

All power had to be manifested through laws. A series of attacks would release the might of those laws, amplifying it several times over.

The more powerful the offensive technique, the greater the might one could unleash. The stronger the weapon, the more powerful the attack.

Different attacks allowed him to wield his power differently, but the laws Li Yang comprehended remained at the same level. In other words, his foundation was unchanged.

But the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood had changed his foundation.

When he activated his laws, the refined energy from the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood would merge with them, causing their might to explode in an instant!

“Hm?”

As he focused on the sensation, Li Yang’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

When he fully mobilized the energy, it suddenly gathered together and then slowly materialized on the surface of his body. It looked like a suit of blood-red armor, but it was blurry and indistinct.

“Armor? When fully activated, the energy from the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood actually forms a suit of armor?” Li Yang was astonished.

“Soul Ink, what’s going on?”

Soul Ink was also watching. He looked at Li Yang and explained, “Refining Primordial Dragon Essence Blood can cause a massive surge in power. Refining enough of it allows you to condense the Blood Dragon Armor, which is formed entirely from the blood of the Ancestral Dragon. Once it’s condensed, you can activate the whole thing at once.”

When you absorb energy, it naturally spreads throughout your body. To use it, you have to mobilize the energy from every part of you.

But with a suit of armor, you just need to activate the armor’s energy directly. It’s undoubtedly much more efficient.

Hearing Soul Ink’s explanation, it was clear that the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood condensing into armor was no great secret.

Li Yang was only surprised for a moment. In the Cosmos, anything was possible. The Ancestral Dragon itself was an incredible being, so its blood condensing into armor wasn’t that hard to comprehend.

Watching Li Yang continue to experiment, Soul Ink couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

“His power has increased a hundredfold in just a few short years.”

Soul Ink remarked with a sigh, “When you go to the Slaughter Battlefield this time, I doubt any of the Alien Race will be able to recognize you.”

Hearing this, Li Yang smiled faintly. “It’s best if they don’t.”

The Alien Race was probably searching the Slaughter Battlefield for him right now, targeting Single-System Deities and those of the Dual Pantheon.

Who could have imagined that Li Yang—the monstrous genius of the Human Race who could kill ordinary Deities after only a few decades of cultivation—would, in just a few years, surpass most Tri-System Deities in strength?

Even if he was on the Slaughter Battlefield, no one would ever connect him to Li Yang.

After experimenting for a while longer, Li Yang finally stopped.

Clutching the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood in his right hand, Li Yang put it away.

‘I’ve absorbed as much as I can for now, but as my strength increases, I should be able to refine more.’

As he thought this, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The stronger he became, the easier it would be to refine the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood. He had sensed this during the refining process earlier.

He couldn’t refine any more right now because he was limited by his current power level.

But his comprehension of laws would advance rapidly, and he would be able to refine more and more of the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood!

His strength would continue to grow!

“Hm?” While talking with Soul Ink, Li Yang suddenly looked into the distance.

‘Are we there?’

He was no longer far from the Slaughter Battlefield. Li Yang was about to arrive, and he was about to face a life of endless slaughter and pervasive danger!

Just as the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had said, on the Slaughter Battlefield, even an ordinary rock could be a disguised member of the Alien Race. Only by being cautious and then some could one hope to survive for long.

However, Li Yang felt no worry at all.

BOOM!

The might of a Tri-System Deity erupted from his body!

A long spear appeared in his hand, emanating an incredibly terrifying aura!

It was the Sacred Artifact, the Profound Annihilation Spear!

“Haha, with the power of a Tri-System Deity and the Sacred Artifact Profound Annihilation Spear, my strength should be upper-middle tier even on the Slaughter Battlefield!”

A powerful soul, numerous treasures… Li Yang was confident that not even Four-Element Deities could do anything to him!

And in truth, Four-Element Deities were few and far between.

‘Alien Race, you want to kill me? Too bad you won’t even be able to find me!’

Who could have guessed his power would increase a hundredfold in just a few short years?

His power had skyrocketed! With so many trump cards up his sleeve, Li Yang was filled with heroic spirit! He was determined to make a name for himself on the Slaughter Battlefield!

With a thought, Li Yang completely retracted his aura.

‘The Sacred Hall sent a message. Someone will be there to meet me when I arrive at the Slaughter Battlefield.’

Tapping his wrist-communicator, Li Yang began to send a message.

The Slaughter Battlefield was located outside the territory of the Human Race. Those from the Human Race who wished to temper themselves there couldn’t just fly over one by one. There were specialized channels that were strictly controlled.

Otherwise, if channels could be opened at will, wouldn’t powerful members of the Alien Race be able to use them to go directly from the Slaughter Battlefield into Human Race territory? That was obviously impossible.

After making contact, Li Yang’s spacecraft quickly arrived at its destination.

At the entrance to the channel, a lanky old man who was a full two meters tall was waiting.

He glanced at the burly, middle-aged man who walked out, then immediately approached with a smile. “Haha, Mu Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

His face was full of warmth as he took the burly man by the arm.

This burly, middle-aged man was, of course, Li Yang in disguise.

Now that he was nearing the Slaughter Battlefield, he had to be careful and had completely altered his appearance and aura.

The old man who had come to meet him was named Ba Jun, an ordinary Deity. While speaking cheerfully with Li Yang, he also sent a mental transmission: “Young Master Li Yang, we are currently on the Fire Liao Star Continent. This time, you will be entering the Slaughter Battlefield through the Teleportation Array on the Fire Liao Star Continent.”

The Human Race has Three Thousand Star Continents, over a hundred of which are located in the border regions. A total of thirty-six of those Star Continents have a passage to the Slaughter Battlefield.

“Understood,” Li Yang nodded.

Although Ba Jun was a Deity, his mental transmission to Li Yang carried a clear tone of respect. Li Yang was still in the World Realm, but Ba Jun knew he could kill Deities, so his reverence was natural.

“Also, to avoid alerting the Alien Race, you will be entering the Slaughter Battlefield with a group of others from the Human Race, Young Master Li Yang.”

The Slaughter Battlefield is an excellent place for tempering oneself and holds many opportunities, so naturally, many people go there.

The Human Race opens the channel once a month, and all those heading there enter together.
