Chapter 119: Mission Accomplished, Strength Soars (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Hum, hum, hum... Inside the crystal palace, a small golden pagoda rotated rapidly around Ke Bei, who sat cross-legged. A misty, golden luster emanated from the pagoda's body.

As Ke Bei moved, the small pagoda spun faster and faster, its golden glow becoming increasingly blinding.

"The seventh pattern!"

Inside the small golden pagoda, Ke Bei’s eyes flashed with intensity. He stared fixedly at the flickering golden thread on the massive diagram, his hands moving rapidly along the golden lines of the seventh pattern, his body swaying slightly in rhythm with the thread.

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the final day of the ultimate mission for junior warriors!

"I must succeed!"

Ke Bei kept his eyes locked on the ethereal, elusive golden thread on the giant diagram. His body swayed, his expression solemn, his heart tense to the breaking point.

"The eighth pattern!"

The golden thread on the giant diagram suddenly began to weave rapidly. Ke Bei’s eyes narrowed slightly; his feet shifted, and his body moved instantaneously in response. Gradually, the frequency of the golden thread’s movement accelerated, and Ke Bei’s body followed suit, moving so fast that he soon became a mere blur.

The speed of the golden thread had reached ten times the speed of sound! In reality, even if Ke Bei had grasped the essentials, he would have been unable to reach such a terrifying speed.

Fortunately, it was only Ke Bei’s consciousness inside the small golden pagoda. His speed increased abruptly with his will, keeping pace with the golden thread at every moment.

Hum— As Ke Bei’s hands traced the golden lines of the eighth pattern, the small golden pagoda hovering above his head trembled violently. Then, following his continuous movements, beams of golden light suddenly shot out.

In an instant, ten thousand rays of golden light erupted, enveloping the entire top floor of the crystal palace. Sitting cross-legged where the golden light was densest, Ke Bei found his entire body bathed in a faint golden glow, giving him an ethereal, dreamlike appearance.

"The ninth pattern!"

Inside the small golden pagoda, Ke Bei’s consciousness let out a low roar. His feet moved in a strange, intricate manner as his eyes remained fixed on the golden thread weaving across the giant diagram.

*Swish, swish, swish, swish!*

Ke Bei’s hands揮動 rapidly. There were eighty-one golden lines across the nine patterns, and in an instant, Ke Bei completed the entire sequence from start to finish.

*Boom!*

As his hands traced the final golden line, the small golden pagoda hovering above him shook violently.

"Qitian Secret Technique! First Form: 'Spatial Tremor Seal'!"

Sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, Ke Bei suddenly snapped them open. Brilliant golden light flashed in the depths of his pupils. With his low roar, the golden light shooting from the pagoda intensified ten thousand times over!

In an instant, the solid-looking golden light contracted sharply, turning the one-meter radius around Ke Bei into a world of gold.

*Hum, hum...* The moment this one-meter-diameter golden world formed, Ke Bei, who was inside it, suddenly felt as if the world had changed.

Space seemed to have lost its meaning. He could manipulate the space within the golden world at will, much like how God-of-War realm experts controlled their domains.

The difference was that the domains of God-of-War experts had specific attributes. Within their domains, they could achieve perfect control over power corresponding to their own attributes, but the impact of a God-of-War domain on space was very weak, limited to simply altering the flow of air.

Even God-of-War experts with spatial-attribute innate abilities could not freely manipulate the surrounding space!

Heaven is fair. Spatial-attribute innate abilities are too heaven-defying; thus, even God-of-War experts could not possess a spatial-attribute domain, relying only on their innate abilities to create certain offensive techniques.

For instance, Han Lingyue’s hidden innate ability was spatial in nature, but he could not possess a spatial domain. However, even without one, Han Lingyue was terrifying when he went on a rampage!

Because spatial-attribute innate abilities are truly heaven-defying! Han Lingyue used this ability to achieve short-distance instantaneous movement!

True teleportation!

Furthermore, his domineering "Void Blade" was even more terrifying. Even the teacher of Hei Qin, whose divine body was ten times stronger than Han Lingyue’s, was instantly executed when faced with the Void Blade!

"Hahaha, what a magnificent 'Spatial Tremor Seal'!"

Standing in the world of golden light, Ke Bei looked up and laughed, his cheeks flushed with irrepressible excitement.

Although 'Spatial Tremor Seal' was not an offensive technique, it was an incredibly monstrous support ability. As long as they were within the golden world, Ke Bei could perfectly control the space inside.

The golden world was like Ke Bei’s own domain! The pity was that this golden world was too small, with a diameter of only one meter. The domain of a low-level God-of-War could reach a diameter of about three kilometers, while a mid-level God-of-War, with a divine body ten times stronger than a low-level one, could expand their domain to about ten kilometers at full power. A high-level God-of-War, with a divine body one hundred times stronger than a low-level one, could cover an area of forty to fifty kilometers in diameter when exerting full force.

However, Ke Bei didn't care about this at all. He currently lacked the ability to drive the true Qitian Pagoda. If one day his strength was sufficient, and he could use the 'Spatial Tremor Seal' technique in conjunction with the real Qitian Pagoda, he could likely expand the golden world to a diameter of hundreds of kilometers in an instant!

At that time, even a peak God-of-War expert would have nothing to fear from him as long as they were trapped within his golden world.

"Congratulations to the host for comprehending the first layer of the Qitian Pagoda secret technique. The ultimate mission for junior warriors is complete. Do you wish to claim your reward immediately?"

Just as Ke Bei was indulging in the fantasy of truly controlling the Qitian Pagoda, a crisp system notification suddenly rang out deep within his mind.

Hearing the system prompt, Ke Bei suddenly realized he had finished the ultimate mission for junior warriors. Thinking of the system's rewards, his heart began to beat wildly.

"Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, Indestructible Golden Body, and the mysterious grand gift package—here I come!"

Ke Bei rubbed his hands together incessantly, his heart filled with extreme anticipation.

Just as Ke Bei prepared to accept the rewards, about three thousand kilometers away from the valley, two figures were speeding toward the location at breakneck velocity.

The speed of mid-level God-King experts was terrifying. Ordinarily, the mid-level God-King Han Qi should have reached the valley by now, but just as he prepared to cast his domain to envelop the figure in crimson armor, Yu Ku, the latter had firmly refused.

As the number one genius of the God Race, Yu Ku naturally had his pride. Although he had refused Han Qi’s kindness, his speed was not slow—far surpassing that of an average high-level God Race member. Yu Ku practiced the 'Wind-Breaking God-Movement,' ranked twenty-third among the secret treasures of the God Race. Once unleashed, his speed was even more terrifying than Ke Bei’s 'Lingbo Micro-steps.'

After Ke Bei’s Nine-Yang Divine Art reached great success, his limit speed using Lingbo Micro-steps reached five times the speed of sound. At this moment, Yu Ku’s 'Wind-Breaking God-Movement' reached seven times the speed of sound!

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

The two figures tore through the air like two bolts of lightning, racing toward the valley where Ke Bei was located. At their current speed, they would reach the valley in about half an hour.

"Claim reward!"

Inside the crystal palace, Ke Bei took a deep breath, retracted the small golden pagoda into the center of his brow, clenched his fists slightly, and with a thought, chose to accept the reward.

*Boom!*

A beam of golden light appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping Ke Bei. The first reward he received was the complete scroll of the Indestructible Golden Body.

*Hum—* The golden light passed through Ke Bei’s skin, which already held a faint golden luster, and slowly seeped into his body.

Immediately, Ke Bei’s bones felt like a beggar who had been starving for days, greedily devouring the beams of golden light. After a minute, as the bones continued to absorb the light, a faint golden luster began to emanate from them. The bone marrow flowing within also turned a pale gold. The golden luster did not look blinding, but it gave off an impression of extraordinary toughness.

"Inheritance of the middle scroll of the Indestructible Golden Body is complete. Do you wish to begin the inheritance of the lower scroll immediately?"

Just as every bone in Ke Bei’s body turned a pale gold, the crisp system prompt sounded again.

"Continue!"

Ke Bei closed his eyes slightly. Seeing the pale golden glow in his muscles and bones, an unprecedented sense of stability surged into his heart.

Even if he faced that God-King expert again, Ke Bei was absolutely confident that his bones would no longer be shattered by the pressure of a God-King!

The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art consisted of three scrolls: the first focused on strengthening the skin and muscles, the second on strengthening the bones, and the final one on strengthening the internal organs.

Only after fully cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body could one truly be called "indestructible." Both the exterior and interior would be exceptionally tough!

*Boom!*

With a low shout from Ke Bei, an even more brilliant golden light enveloped him once again. A moment later, his internal organs were all glowing with a faint golden luster.

"So refreshing!"

After receiving the complete inheritance of the Indestructible Golden Body, Ke Bei couldn't help but roar toward the sky. The feeling that every part of his body, inside and out, was comparable to diamond was simply wonderful.

With Ke Bei’s current strength, he could basically ignore any attacks from below the God-of-War realm. He hadn't fought any super geniuses among the Transcendent realm experts yet, so he wasn't sure if he could withstand their attacks.

For example, Li Qingfeng, the top-ranked powerhouse on the Azure Dragon List of the Jiujiang Talent Training Camp, and the second-ranked Mu Dunhun were both terrifying existences in the Transcendent realm. Ke Bei had not yet fought these invincible figures beneath the Transcendent realm, so he dared not conclude whether his Indestructible Golden Body would hold up.

"Inheritance of the complete Indestructible Golden Body is finished. Host, do you wish to immediately begin receiving the inheritance of the middle scroll of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art?"

The crisp system prompt rang out in Ke Bei’s mind again.

Ke Bei took a deep breath, his heart slightly excited. The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art was the martial art he had obtained from his second draw, and it was thanks to this art that Ke Bei had stepped onto the path of becoming a powerhouse. He had coveted the middle and lower scrolls for a long time.

After all, although the internal force of the Nine-Yang Divine Art was powerful, every attack required the energy to surge from his Dantian first. Ke Bei still felt that the raw power of the physical body was more satisfying.

The first time Ke Bei underwent the tempering of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, his physical strength increased by nearly five times. This time, he held a faint expectation: if the middle scroll could also increase his physical strength by five times, that would be too terrifying!

Ke Bei’s current physical strength was already equal to two hundred men. If it increased by five times, that would be one thousand! Such strength was already comparable to an average high-level God Race member.

If the Nine-Fold Thunder Slash reached great success, it could basically amplify his physical strength by eight times! In that case, one strike from Ke Bei would be equivalent to the strength of eight thousand men!

Ke Bei didn't know how terrifying the strength of eight thousand men was, but such immense brute force would likely be no less than that of the incredibly powerful beasts among the monster clans!

By then, Ke Bei could truly be called a human-shaped monster!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly burned with fire! And this wasn't his limit. If everything went as he predicted, the lower scroll of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art would increase his physical strength by another five times! That would be truly terrifying.

"Begin the inheritance!"

Ke Bei clenched his fists tightly; at this moment, he was extremely excited.

*Boom!*

As Ke Bei willed it, a golden pillar of light once again enveloped his body. The golden light slowly merged into his muscles and bones, which already possessed a faint golden luster, and his strength grew at a rapid speed.

Three hundred men's strength!

Four hundred men's strength!

Five hundred men's strength!

Ke Bei’s physical strength grew at a terrifying pace. Silently feeling his constantly increasing strength, Ke Bei gripped his fists tightly.

"Five times... Dragon-Elephant Prajna, let my strength increase by another five times!" Ke Bei’s heart was taut.

Six hundred men's strength, seven hundred men's strength... one thousand men's strength. One thousand two hundred men's strength!

"Damn, it's already five times, and it... it's still increasing!" Ke Bei’s heart thumped wildly. He hadn't expected the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art to be so domineering; his physical strength had already increased by six times!

Ke Bei didn't know that the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art became more difficult to cultivate the further one progressed! Correspondingly, the strength gained each time was even more terrifying. The first three layers of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art had increased his physical strength by five times, so the increase from the first six layers would be even more monstrous!

One thousand three hundred men's strength, one thousand three hundred and twenty men's strength, one thousand three hundred and fifty men's strength!

The speed at which his physical strength increased slowly began to drop, and finally, Ke Bei’s physical strength increased by seven times, reaching a terrifying total of one thousand four hundred men's strength!

Ke Bei hadn't expected such an enhancement effect. He gasped, and after being stunned for a long time, he finally recovered.

"Tempering of the middle scroll of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art is complete. Host, do you wish to begin tempering for the lower scroll immediately?"

The clear system prompt sounded again.
