Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 519 - 502: Entering the Mist

Zhou Leng stood quietly, recalling the previous battle, identifying any weaknesses and making up for them.

Then, he jumped onto the roof, looking in the direction of the various camps.

The figure of the Blue Star Tiger was nowhere to be seen, and there seemed to be demons moving in the direction of the Demon Camp.

Zhou Leng recalled the entire process, confident that the demons were inciting the beastmen.

To not return the visit is impolite.

He donned a hood, collected the Magic Spirit Bags and weapons of the three beastmen.

Looping around, he stealthily approached the Demon Alliance’s camp.

Just as he was about to observe, he discovered a team of five demons entering the Black Iron Woods.

Among them were three Sea Sirens and two Demons.

Zhou Leng took a closer look, the two Demons weren’t particularly strong, the three Sea Sirens were stronger, but here on the ground, their strength was reduced by at least twenty percent.

Zhou Leng squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment. The previous battle was quite exhilarating; he could continue.

Moreover, these five demons had various methods, but in hand-to-hand combat, they couldn’t compare to the berserk beastmen.

Circumventing the camp, he entered the Black Iron Woods, pursuing the demon squad.

Approaching the Black Iron Tree for the first time, Zhou Leng took a few extra glances, even broke off a branch to hold in his hand.

The vastness of the universe is truly full of wonders.

This Black Iron Tree was even sturdier than ordinary steel, almost comparable to 304 stainless steel.

When there’s time, I’ll uproot one and bring it back to Blue Star for research; humanity might be able to make good use of it.

After trailing them for over ten kilometers, Zhou Leng accelerated forward.

With Lightweight Skill, he moved silently and swiftly, soon catching up to the demon team from behind.

Taking out an Innate-level Demonized Throwing Spear, he aimed and threw it.

Boom!

This was the first time Zhou Leng threw a spear with full force after advancing to the Muscle Stage.

Previously, throwing an ordinary refined steel spear, he could exceed twice the speed of sound; throwing a Demonized Spear, he could reach twice the speed of sound.

Now with greatly increased power, the power of the Demonized Spear was fully unleashed.

A Demonized Throwing Spear at three times the speed of sound, like a supersonic missile, penetrated a Sea Siren before the demons realized.

The powerful force exploded; a dignified Great Innate Sea Siren was severed in two.

With only half its body left, the Sea Siren did not die, frantically consuming pills while shouting loudly.

The other four Great Innates suddenly turned their heads, looking over.

Zhou Leng turned and ran.

The four demons looked at each other, nodded in unison, and charged forward.

The two Sea Sirens were quickly left behind, the two Demons in front getting closer to Zhou Leng.

Both Demons could use spells, their speed only slightly slower than Zhou Leng’s.

Suddenly, Zhou Leng turned around, stepping on the ground like a ghostly shadow, almost brushing past a Demon.

As he passed by, the Finger Sword Qi of his right hand horizontally cut across its neck.

As they were so close, nearly running at the speed of sound in opposite directions, the two Demons almost didn’t react in time.

The Desecrated Mummy inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a good thing he reacted in time to dodge that finger, but why does the sky seem tilted...

The head of this Demon fell to the ground, the headless body still running straight forward, finally colliding into a Black Iron Tree, spraying black blood everywhere.

The other Demon hurriedly stopped, glanced at his dead comrade, and then at Zhou Leng’s back.

He was puzzled.

The Great Battlefield is a place demons both love and hate.

Because it can make demons stronger, but it’s also a place of slaughter.

It’s a paradise for top talents, yet a graveyard for ordinary Great Innates.

However, top talents are limited in number.

The Great Innates who enter here are mostly ordinary talents.

Still, even ordinary talents have some fame in the realms.

For example, the recently killed Blue-Black Skin, a dignified Desecrated Mummy, son of nobility.

In the entire Demon Purgatory, he wasn’t considered a top talent, but within the Desecrated Mummy tribe, he was quite renowned.

Just like that, he died.

Although that move just now was very hidden, it shouldn’t have been able to instantly kill a demon talent.

Looking again, that figure was already standing with the two Great Innate Sea Sirens.

With just one look, his heart started racing.

The water control talent of the Great Innate Sea Sirens was nothing in front of this person.

This human’s water control talent was even stronger than the Sea Sirens’ by one degree.

All the water element power of the Great Innate Sea Sirens was instead strengthening the human Martial Artist’s palm technique.

He saw, pressed by a human Martial Artist, two Sea Demon Royal Family members, who ranked higher than him in the ocean domains.

The two Sea Demon Royals didn’t fail to counterattack, but their spells fell on the human’s True Qi shield as if merely scratching an itch.

Their big hands landed on him, and the human didn’t even dodge, just slightly shifted, trading injury for injury at the most.

Moreover, this human seemed somewhat insane, attacking relentlessly, using the renowned No Return Battle Technique of humans.

The most terrifying thing was that this person’s speed was so fast, it formed the terrifying power usually seen only at the Grandmaster stage.

Martial Arts Heavenly Shadow.

In the distant Black Iron Woods.

Zhou Leng abandoned his usual Heart and Mind Shadow, switching to the No Return Battle Technique.

Bravely advancing, without return or retreat.

At this moment, he forgot defense, forgot techniques, using only the most basic Celestial Tide Palm, palm after palm, transforming into a sky full of palm shadows, launching forward.

The two Great Innate Sea Sirens were terrified seeing the sky full of palm shadows.

This was power formed after the attack speed was fast enough, known as Martial Arts Heavenly Shadow.

Unlike ordinary afterimages, Martial Arts Heavenly Shadow is formed by True Qi power briefly leaving the body, possessing a certain lethality.

Though only about thirty percent of them were Martial Arts Heavenly Shadows, the rest were afterimages, it still far exceeded ordinary Great Innates.

Among the current human Great Innate Martial Artists, fewer than five could leave behind Martial Arts Heavenly Shadows.

"Xu Ming, luring the tiger away from the mountain!" A Sea Siren let out an enraged roar.

In his view, among human martial artists, only Xu Ming was this strong.

Moreover, Xu Ming was indeed a Great Innate who could unleash the Martial Arts Heavenly Shadow, ranking among the top ten Great Innates of humanity today.

The Sea Sirens are fierce, but not as mad as the Beastmen, especially on land.

Ten seconds later, two Sea Sirens were consecutively struck by Zhou Leng.

Twenty seconds later, a Sea Siren was gravely injured.

Twenty-five seconds, Zhou Leng twisted the Sea Siren’s neck, swiftly turned, and charged towards the bewildered Demon.

The Demon froze for a moment, then turned to flee.

Unfortunately, Zhou Leng was much faster than him.

Earlier, he pretended to be caught up by them.

A dog that has lost its home, even if it’s a Great Innate, is no longer a threat.

Zhou Leng caught up with the Demon and killed him.

Standing in the black iron forest, he surveyed the surroundings.

All five Great Innates were dead.

He bent over to pick up the Magic Spirit Bag and began to clean up the battlefield.

Gathering the spoils together, he took a brief look, his expression calm, his eyes slightly bright.

As expected of Great Innates, outstanding figures of various races.

Even though they left most of their resources at home, bringing only the essentials, there were still many valuable items among them.

Among them, on one Sea Siren, there was a piece of Stellar Treasure picked up on the Great Battlefield, although it was just a metal fragment, it had peculiar patterns containing power, worth at least billions when sold to a Demon Spirit Master.

In addition, there were a ton of pills and innate meat for cultivation, even not lacking Grandmaster-level meat.

Including two Dragon and Tiger Pills.

He picked out some useful pills and magic potions for himself, ignoring the rest for now.

Growl...

He touched his belly.

After advancing to the Muscle Stage, everything was fine, except he got hungry quickly.

The Grandmaster meat was raw, so he had to fill up with cooked meat of the ten-horned Demon Dragon.

Zhou Leng ate the Great Innate dragon meat while walking, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If the ten-horned Demon Dragon hadn’t died in the Divine Blood Lava, what would happen if they met here?

Zhou Leng estimated that the ten-horned Demon Dragon was very strong and knew spells, he couldn’t kill him, nor could he kill Zhou Leng.

However, he would certainly bring a group of minions, Zhou Leng would be sure to lose.

Not long after, he discovered another team of demons entering the forest, but this team had seven people, and they were all Demons, with no Sea Sirens.

Zhou Leng estimated the risk was too high, among them was an eye demon skilled in using spells, not afraid to single-handedly fight him, but if he assisted other demons, it would be a nightmare for martial artists.

However, he couldn’t just leave it at that.

Zhou Leng took out a demonized javelin, not aiming at the most responsive eye demon, but at a chain-bearer.

Boom!

The spear flew out, and the chain-bearer exploded into pieces flying everywhere.

Turned around and ran.

Exchanging one demonized javelin for a Great Innate demon was worth it.

Behind him, the demons were cursing profanely.

The remaining six demons cursed for a long time, then tacitly divided the chain-bearer’s relics among themselves.

The eye demon narrowed his eyes slightly, saying: "The demonized javelin just now was very fast, you all might not be able to do it. The opponent is likely one of Xu Ming or Wang Xiong. Do you think they discovered our purpose and came here to obstruct us?"

"The body size is incorrect."

"Then who could it be?"

"I remember that Sea Siren killer, it had that kind of feeling."

"That Sea Siren killer is just at the Bone Forging stage, this person is definitely a Great Innate."

"That’s right, let’s go."

The six demons proceeded cautiously, with no spells discovered along the way, they relaxed a bit.

Suddenly, the eye demon’s spell issued a warning, he quickly looked through the Magic Spirit Bird.

In the residual vision of the Magic Spirit Bird, a figure appeared silently on the left side of the team, throwing a spear from the rear flank.

Boom.

By the time the eye demon heard the sound, a demon had already been torn to pieces.

He immediately understood that this person had bypassed them early on, then hid well.

Finally, striking at the right time, even if discovered, at this distance it was already too late.

Cursing, the eye demon released multiple spells to monitor all directions, becoming even more cautious.

Zhou Leng glanced at the several vigilante spells in the distance and quietly retreated.

Throughout the journey, Zhou Leng continuously discovered demon teams.

When encountering smaller numbers, he attempted to fight, encountering larger numbers, he ambushed.

Ultimately, several demon teams were forced to stop advancing, first gathering together, discussing for a long time, and slowly moving towards the purple mist.

Zhou Leng saw that there was no chance, and it seemed that it was close to the Divine Power Land, so he thought for a bit, then headed straight towards the Divine Power Land to see what the Divine Power Trial was all about.

At the same time, outside the Divine Power Land.

The people of the Humanoid Alliance stood off against the demons.

The Humanoid Alliance, being in large numbers, was at a great disadvantage.

The demons, led by the Armored Boulder, were smiling.

Because they had long prepared, secretly dispersing troops, and were ready to outnumber and consume some members of the Humanoid Alliance here.

However, as the demons waited left and right, waiting for Xu Ming and others to arrive, only half of the demon reinforcements arrived.

Helplessly, they declared the previous conflicts a misunderstanding, apologized, and left.

The Humanoid Alliance members also felt inexplicable, and thus began investigating secretly.

Late at night, Zhou Leng crossed the black iron forest, looking towards the purple mist ahead, standing like an endless wall.

He walked quickly, took a deep breath, and stepped in slowly.
