Demon Spirit World.

In a dilapidated noble castle, the Celestial Calamity God looked up at the Ascension Divinity Ladder high in the sky.

"This Zhou Leng, not bad."

The Celestial Calamity God nodded slightly, traversing three levels of the Ascension Divinity Ladder is rare even among high-level civilizations.

He had never praised any Demon Demigods this way during his long time in the Demon Purgatory.

However, for the Celestial Calamity God, who is essentially a Divine Spirit, Zhou Leng was merely "not bad."

He glanced at the subordinates kneeling before him, all of them various demonesses.

He began to ponder how to conquer new territories with minimal cost.

This game is quite amusing.

Beastman World.

The once bustling Demigod Hall was now exceptionally empty.

An Ascension Divinity Ladder has caused more than half of the Beastman Demigods to perish.

Though most were newly ascended and Lower Demigods, each was the future of the Beastmen.

Especially after all the elite Middle Demigods were wiped out, the place appeared even more desolate.

Their Upper, Peak, and Demigod King combined only reached 24 figures.

The higher one climbs the rank of Demigod, the more challenging it becomes.

The Beastman Demigods wore grave expressions.

Even the Beastmen, who don’t usually think deeply, understood that in the upcoming battle of the Ten Realms, they were already out.

They would neither be heavily favored by the Demons nor have the strength to confront other worlds.

All they could do was withdraw and protect themselves.

A single Steel Dwarf wasn’t much of a threat, since their high-end combat power remained intact.

But if the Humanoid Alliance were to join forces to avenge the Beastman betrayal years ago, the Beastmen would be in grave danger.

"Who can tell me exactly what’s up with that Zhou Leng?" The white-haired Demigod King Bone of Judgment sat at the highest seat, casting a sharp gaze at the Beastman gods.

The Demigods collectively bowed their heads.

"Then, who can tell me how to deal with him?"

The Demigods remained silent.

Bone of Judgment sighed, saying: "Forget it, what are your thoughts on the upcoming Upper Ten Kings War?"

Beastman Demigods debated, eventually deciding on one good news and one bad news.

The good news was that Zhou Leng couldn’t enter the Upper battlefield again, allowing the Beastmen to retain their title as the new upper king.

The bad news was that since Zhou Leng took the first three Ten Kings positions, the upcoming Upper Ten Kings and Peak Ten Kings battles would become fiercer among the races.

To avoid angering other groups, the Beastmen must forgo the fight.

Moreover, the Beastmen understood this was just the third layer of the Ascension Divinity Ladder; they need to conserve strength for the future fourth and even fifth layers of the ladder.

Demon Purgatory, Endless Battlefield, Ten Thousand Demon Fortress.

Demon Demigods were also discussing the Ascension Divinity Ladder.

As for Zhou Leng, he had been classified and deemed an enemy of the Demons, just like the Blood of Tyranny.

After the discussion ended, the Demigods had separate chats.

Middle Demigod "Layered Flesh Mountain" of the Demon Giants sent out a message, attracting the attention of some interested Demigods.

Layered Flesh Mountain is a Demon Giant, son of the lord Majestic Sky of the fifth layer’s Majestic Heights in the Demon Purgatory. Although he did not manage to seize the new Middle king title this time, he ranked among the top ten, his strength considerable.

"The Vast Ancient Road of the Giant Race is about to open..."

"You know, we Demon Giants have always been competing with those ordinary Giants for inheritance, but after several attempts, our losses outweigh our wins..."

"This time, my father decided to allocate some places to outstanding Demons, joining hands to suppress the Giants..."

"Our requirements are simple, just sheer power, no matter the race..."

"However, my father said this Vast Ancient Road might connect to the legendary ’Starry Ancient Road.’ If lucky enough, we’ll encounter the various races of the intermediate civilization in the cosmos, highly risky..."

"So the timid ones might as well not waste their slots."

Giant World.

Numerous Demigods gazed at the newly appointed Middle king, Baishan Mu, who had participated in the final Middle Ten Kings War and was recounting the process.

"We first followed Zhou Leng’s lead to defeat the Celestial Tomb Sword and Giant Whale Great Tusk, then he proposed sparring with the top Middle Demigods of the Ten Realms..."

"You know, my temper is a bit fiery, and I felt this descendant of the Divine Spirit slightly looked down on us, so I was the first to strike."

A demigod giant asked, "Is that why you’re lying there unable to get up?"

On the ground of the Giant Royal Court, Baishan Mu lay straight, wrapped tightly in large bandages, the strong scent of medicine permeated the entire hall.

"Hehe..." Baishan Mu sneered.

"Just how strong is he?"

Baishan Mu pondered for a moment before saying, "His body seems to harbor a divine spirit. I’ve never seen such a terrifying human, no, I’ve never seen such a terrifying giant. I suspect he has Fierce Beast lineage..."

"You don’t know the feeling when I exchanged a full-powered blow with him, it was like hitting into the mouth of a volcano, and then the entire mouth’s magma engulfed me..."

"I know how to describe it; it was like fighting a sun."

The giant demigods’ eyes sparkled with excitement.

"He climbed the Ascension Mountain and gained the Starry Giant’s power, which explains it."

"Indeed."

"He must participate in this Vast Ancient Road."

Outer space of Blue Star.

Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.

The third Divine Techniques throne empowered him further, elevating his original stellar divine technique, "Stellar Traveler," once more.

Stellar Divine Technique, Starry Child.

Endless universe, countless celestial regions.

In the face of unimaginably vast numbers, and innumerable life planets, the so-called world’s child, and Qi manipulation’s child, were like stars filling the sky, impossible to count.

But even a world’s child nurtured by a world holds less value in the universe than an ordinary stellar divine technique.

In talent-rich high-level civilizations, only a few geniuses can possess stellar divine techniques.

Because, stellar divine techniques are essentially the power of the Divine Spirit.

Typically, only with the rank of Void God can one master them.

Yet, among the native inhabitants of all Ten Realms, even one Void God might not emerge in tens of thousands of years.

Both stellar wanderers and stellar travelers belong to the Void God level of divine techniques.

Starry Child is far superior.

At this moment, Zhou Leng was in space, as if he were in his backyard.

Breathing? Unnecessary.

If wished, the space could automatically form an oxygen environment to breathe.

Flight? Empowered by starlight, achieving speed far beyond one’s realm.

Destructive star power? Ordinary powers entirely bounce back upon approach.

Only a few overly powerful destructive star powers could come near.

Cultivation? All nearby stellar energies converged here.

If close enough and capable of enduring, even the immense black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy would emit power to aid.

Zhou Leng raised his head, gazing at the slightly glowing moon in the distance.

The distance from Earth to the Moon is 380,000 kilometers.

Martial Saints have traveled there before, taking over 30 hours with continuous True Qi support.

With a thought, Zhou Leng created a major thrust behind him, accelerating toward the moon.

Mach 10... Mach 20... Mach 30... Mach 40...
