The Divine Realm

Chapter 89 The Divine Realm

The main universe, the realm of gods.

The entire main universe is incredibly vast, divided into three layers. The lowest layer is the most expansive, containing countless mortal worlds inhabited by countless lives.

Once a mortal reaches a certain level in cultivation, they will ascend to the second level.

The second layer also contains many cosmic spaces, inhabited by countless powerful beings.

After these beings survive the divine tribulation, they can ascend to the third level, which is the realm of gods.

The area of ​​the divine realm is the smallest among the three layers of the main universe, but this smallness is only relative.

The realm of gods is the most stable, inhabited by the most powerful beings in the primordial universe, such as the Heavenly Venerable and the God King.

The realm of gods has a vast landmass, beyond which lies an endless ocean and countless islands.

In a desolate region in the eastern part of the God Realm Continent, space tore open a hole several meters long, and a figure appeared in the hole.

The figure, dressed in a purple robe, was a cold-looking young man—Jeg.

After being sucked into that mysterious passage, Jag's true form lost consciousness and has only now regained consciousness.

As Jage appeared, the surrounding divine energy gathered and condensed into a clearly visible dark golden energy, which entered Jage's body.

Jag let out a soft groan; he felt a little pain.

"Is this... divine power coursing through my body?"

The infusion of divine power into the body is a test that everyone who ascends to the divine realm in the main universe must go through.

The beings who ascend to the divine realm come from different cosmic spaces in the lower realm, and their cultivation techniques and powers are also diverse. After arriving in the divine realm, through the infusion of divine power into their bodies, the power within them will transform into divine power and then gather in their dantian.

However, this transformation process will be accompanied by considerable pain.

Of course, there are differences between individuals. If someone is physically strong, it will be easier for divine power to flow through their body. Jag is doing okay now, only experiencing slight pain.

"Shouldn't the infusion of divine power take place in the Ascension Pool? Why is it here? Is it because I didn't ascend normally?" Jag asked, somewhat puzzled.

The universe where Panlong Universe is located is Hongmeng Universe. Jiege doesn't know much about the God Realm of Hongmeng Universe. The information he has comes from Linmeng Universe.

The Linmeng Universe is a universe created by the original protagonist, Lin Lei, after he transcended the mortal realm, referencing the Hongmeng Universe.

According to the situation in the Linmeng Universe God Realm, all beings from the main universe who ascend to the God Realm will appear in the Ascension Pool, where they will complete the infusion of divine power into their bodies.

Jag is still in that spatial passage, not in the Ascension Pool.

Jage didn't know if it was because the Hongmeng Universe and the Linmeng Universe were different, or because of the special nature of the roulette wheel.

As time passed, the Panlong Cosmic Divine Power within Jeger's body gradually transformed into the divine power of the main universe.

Generally speaking, the amount of divine power that a newly ascended being can contain is limited.

The extent to which divine power can be contained depends mainly on two aspects: the physical body and the spiritual realm.

The higher one's spiritual realm, the more divine power one can absorb without causing that power to go out of control.

The body is a vessel for divine power; the stronger the body, the more divine power it can withstand.

The beings in the main universe are different from those in Jage. Only after Jage reaches the level of the Golden Core of the Soul can the roulette wheel open the main universe channel.

However, beings in the main universe do not need to ascend to the divine realm; they can ascend simply by passing through the divine tribulation.

Most newly ascended beings do not reach the level of "Soul Golden Core" in terms of soul realm, nor do they have outstanding physical bodies. Even after being infused with divine power, they are not considered gods, but merely "preparatory gods".

Before long, Jeger completed the infusion of divine power into his body. His soul realm was at the level of a lower-level god, and his divine power was also at the level of a lower-level god, directly skipping the "preparatory god" stage.

This is one of the benefits of divine power permeating the body.

If a being ascends to the intermediate level of a god, the divine power will directly elevate their divine power to the intermediate level. If their soul realm is at the advanced level of a god, the divine power will elevate their divine power to the advanced level, saving them a lot of hard work in cultivation.

As the divine power flowed through his body, Jeger fell out of the hole, and as he fell, the spatial rift quickly closed.

"puff"

When Jugger fell to the ground, the ground of the divine realm gave him a long-lost feeling of solidity, a feeling that the ground of the Panlong Universe could no longer provide.

He stood up, brushing the dirt off his body as he observed his surroundings.

This is an abandoned mine, with dark mine entrances everywhere, leading to unknown depths underground.

Jag instinctively reached out to unleash his divine sense to investigate the surrounding situation.

However, he discovered that his divine consciousness could not leave his body, and the spatial stability of the divine realm was much stronger than that of hell.

Jag is now unable to fly and can only walk like a mortal in the material plane.

In the realm of gods, only those who comprehend the laws of space and reach the level of a lower-level celestial being can fly.

"My strength has declined." Jag carefully sensed his current state.

In the Panlong Universe, his true form is actually the Saint Realm. Of course, because he can mobilize the divine power and profound laws of other divine avatars, as well as the willpower of refining the main godhead, his strength is far greater than that of the Saint Realm.

But once he reached the realm of gods, he could no longer mobilize the divine power of his other divine avatars, and the power of his will within his soul had also vanished.

That willpower is the willpower of the Panlong Universe, so naturally it cannot work in the main universe.

Jag threw a punch, his divine power surging within him, his fist wreathed in flames, and a muffled "boom" resounded through the air.

"Fortunately, the profound mysteries of the laws can still be used."

Just now, Jugger activated his divine power and used the fire element law to throw a punch. The law was profound and there was no problem with it; he could use it, but its power was far less than when he was in the Panlong Universe.

Many of the laws governing the main universe and the Panlong universe are the same.

Because both the main universe and the Panlong universe belong to the Hongmeng universe, which is constructed from Hongmeng spiritual energy.

In the main universe, primordial energy transforms into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, forming the foundation of the main universe. Then, the two forces of yin and yang are born. With yin comes darkness, and with yang comes light. Then, lightning becomes the power of punishment.

Because of its small size, the Panlong Universe did not need to be transformed into the Five Elements. Instead, the Primordial Spiritual Energy transformed into the four basic energies of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, which then gave rise to the two energies of Light and Darkness, as well as the energy of Lightning as the power of judgment.

Most of the profound laws of the Panlong Universe are common to the main universe.

"My body is still at the level of a main artifact, but I don't know what level the main artifact of the Panlong Universe is equivalent to in the God Realm."

Divine artifacts in the divine realm can be divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade divine artifacts. Above divine artifacts are celestial artifacts, which are divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade celestial artifacts.

Above the Heavenly Artifacts, there are even more mysterious and terrifying Primordial Spiritual Treasures, which are divided into third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

Even stronger than a first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure is a Celestial Spiritual Treasure.

Jag has never come into contact with these divine artifacts and celestial artifacts of the divine realm, and he cannot determine the level of the main divine artifact.

In summary, Jag's current divine power and soul belong to the lowest level of the divine realm, namely a lower-level god, while his mastery of the laws and his physical strength are unknown.

"Let's find a safe place first and elevate our spiritual level."

Jag quickly made plans for the next step.

He can only stay in the realm of gods for a thousand years at present, so he naturally has to make the most of every second.

In the realm of gods, as long as one cultivates the laws of space and time, one can elevate their soul level. Once the soul level is elevated, one can absorb the divine energy of heaven and earth or the energy from divine stones to enhance divine power.

Jag looked around and thought this abandoned mine was pretty good, since there weren't many people around.

He entered a mine shaft, which was pitch black with no light source. Fortunately, the man's eyesight was excellent, so it didn't affect him much.

The mine tunnel stretched inwards, its extent unknown. Jeger didn't want to go too deep, so he sat cross-legged a dozen meters from the entrance and began his cultivation.

He first tried to absorb the divine energy between heaven and earth and transform it into divine power, but found that he could not absorb it.

"It seems that, like the God Realm in the Linmeng Universe, the divine energy in most parts of the God Realm is very violent and cannot be directly absorbed," Jage sighed.

Jag's understanding of the main universe's divine realm comes from the Linmeng universe. Although the Linmeng universe was created with reference to the Hongmeng universe, it has a much shorter history, only two epochs. Therefore, there will definitely be differences, so Jag does not dare to act entirely according to the situation of the Linmeng universe's divine realm.

However, the situation he is currently facing is basically the same as that of the God Realm in the Lin Meng Universe.

The divine energy in the Linmeng Universe God Realm is extremely violent. It can only be directly absorbed and cultivated in cities or near cities. If you are not in these places, you can only absorb the divine energy within the divine stones to cultivate.

Divine Stones are the currency of the divine realm.

As a newcomer, Jag naturally didn't have any divine stones, and the divine energy in this abandoned mine was extremely violent. He had just tried to absorb it for cultivation, but he couldn't at all.

"In that case, let's first comprehend the laws of space and elevate our souls."

Comprehending the laws of space does not require a specific location; one can cultivate anywhere.

"Once my soul has been elevated to the level of a superior god or even a lower-level celestial being, if there is still time, I will explore the surrounding area."

According to the situation in the Linmeng Universe God Realm, the wilderness of the God Realm is just as dangerous as hell, with many bandit gangs and powerful monsters.

Many of the demonic beasts in the divine realm possess the strength of high-level deities, and can even fight against lower-level gods. As for bandit gangs, they may even have powerful members at the level of high-level gods.

Jag is currently only a lower-level god, so of course he doesn't dare to run around recklessly.

Once your soul level has improved and your self-preservation ability has increased, it's not too late to explore.

Jag sat cross-legged, preparing to use up his enlightenment attempts to comprehend the laws of space, when suddenly he felt a slight tremor in the ground.

"Rumble rumble rumble"

The tremors grew more and more intense, and Jag recognized that they were coming from deep within the mine!

"Is something wrong? Let's get out of here!"

Jag, whose strength was now weak, did not want to take any risks and ran straight out of the mine.

He had only run a few steps and hadn't even left the mine when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

When Jag turned around, he saw three burly men dressed in tight-fitting clothes, holding mining shovels, rushing out of the depths of the mine. Their movements were extremely fast, far surpassing Jag's.

"At least a mid-level god, or even a high-level god!"

Jag was shocked.

The three burly men were quite surprised to see Jag, clearly not expecting to encounter another person here.

"Hurry up!"

The burly man at the head of the group had a buzz cut, his hair as sharp as steel needles, and a resolute face. He shouted at Juggernaut.

Upon hearing this, Jag ran straight out of the mine without any hesitation.

The three burly men followed Jeg out of the mine almost immediately, and behind them, the mine walls continued to crumble, as if they had been smashed open by something terrible.

"roar"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, a colossal creature appeared in Jeger's eyes. It was a terrifying monster that was hundreds of meters long, resembling a centipede, except that it also had a long, thin tail that was at least a hundred meters long. Below its body were numerous bluish-black claws. Jeger roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds of them, each claw with ten fingers, and each finger was covered with dense barbs.

"A monster from the realm of gods!" Jag's eyelids twitched wildly.

Many demonic beasts in the divine realm have low-level souls, not even reaching the level of a preparatory god, and therefore cannot undergo the divine tribulation.

The divine realm has great constraints; demonic beasts cannot transform into human form without undergoing divine tribulation. However, their combat power is extremely terrifying. With their powerful bodies, even high-level gods find it difficult to deal with them.

After bursting out of the mine, the terrifying beast continued to chase after Jeg and his companions. Despite its enormous size, it was surprisingly fast, much faster than the four of them.

It simultaneously swung its four claws, grabbing at the four of them, including Jag.

Those claws were almost as big as Jag's body.

"Damn it, am I going to perish as soon as I arrive in the realm of gods?!" Jugg's face was extremely ugly, but he was not as fast as the monster and could not escape, so he could only fight back.

Jag unleashed the full power of the gods within him, his right fist wreathed in flames as he slammed it fiercely into the beast's claws.

"boom"

Jag was sent flying by the claw, crashing to the ground not far away, kicking up sand and gravel several meters high.

Jag felt a slight numbness in his right arm and a mild pain in his back where he had hit the ground, but he was fine!

"Um?"

A look of surprise flashed in Jag's eyes.

"It seems my body is no weaker than its!"

Jag stood up and found that the monster had also been knocked back by his punch.

However, the three strong men did not have the physical strength of Jeger. Two of them were sent flying, their bodies limp on the ground, seemingly with multiple fractures, unable to move, and their bodies were cut by the barbs on the monster's claws, bleeding profusely.

The short-haired, burly man in the lead was in a better position; he could still stand, and although he also had wounds, they were all superficial.

"Big brother, don't worry about us, you go quickly!" A burly man lay on the ground struggling. He was using divine power to heal his injuries, but it would take some time, and the monster wouldn't give him that time.

The short-haired, burly man at the head of the group seemed not to hear his companions' words. He flipped his hand and took out a black battle sword, confronting the monster without retreating.

"Focus on recovering from your injuries. We came together, and we'll leave together!"

The short-haired, burly man stood ready, his eyes fixed on the monster. To his surprise, the monster didn't seem to care much about him; instead, it was looking warily in another direction.

The short-haired, burly man followed the monster's gaze.

"It's him! He's still alive!" The short-haired, burly man was quite surprised to see Jag.

"He's just a lower-level deity, how could he withstand the attack of a demonic beast?"

He had just seen Juggernaut in the mine and realized that Juggernaut was only a lower-level god.

His two brothers were both intermediate-level deities, and they were severely injured by a single claw from a demonic beast. He himself was an advanced-level deity, and he could barely hold on. But Jeg, an inferior-level deity, was completely unharmed.

Jag looked at the monster with some eagerness. Since the monster couldn't hurt him, he could test his strength.

He slowly walked towards the monster.

The monster let out a wary roar, intimidating Juggernaut.

"You, leave!"

The monster spoke in a human voice.

The demons and beasts in the divine realm are quite intelligent, but they cannot take human form because of the constraints of the divine realm. If they were to go to the lower realm where the constraints are weaker, they could transform into human form even if they have not yet undergone the tribulation of gods.

Jag walked step by step toward the monster, showing no intention of leaving.

The beast roared and slapped at Jeger with its claw. It was indeed somewhat wary of Jeger, thinking that he would be troublesome to deal with, but it was not afraid of him. Since Jeger was not leaving, it would not be polite.

"Well done!"

Jag threw a punch, his fist wreathed in flames.

"boom"

Jag slammed his fist into the monster's claw. The huge recoil sent him staggering back ten steps before he stopped. Luckily, he was prepared and didn't get slammed to the ground like last time.

The monster's claw split open, bleeding profusely. However, it had hundreds of claws, so the injury to one claw wasn't considered a serious injury.

However, it wasn't just its body that was injured; its soul was also attacked, and its eyes briefly lost focus.

Jeger's punch unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element. The fire element is extremely powerful in both physical and spiritual attacks. Jeger had already reached the pinnacle of the fire element, and his punch contained both physical and spiritual attacks.

Jag's soul is at the Golden Core level, which is higher than that of a demon beast, making his soul attacks very effective.

On the other side, the short-haired burly man was shocked to see Jag fighting the monster.

"This person's strength is strange. His divine power and soul realm are very weak, only at the lower level of gods, but his body is extremely strong, even stronger than this demonic beast. He looks like a newcomer who ascended from the lower realm who is good at body tempering, but his moves are very mysterious. I can't see through his physical attacks and soul attacks."

The short-haired, muscular man couldn't understand why some powerful beings existed in the divine realm or in some cosmic spaces skilled in body refinement.

After these beings survive the divine tribulation and become gods, there will indeed be cases like Jeg, whose divine power and soul realm are relatively low, but whose bodies are extremely strong.

However, these creatures generally don't have very distinctive attack moves.

The short-haired strongman had been in the divine realm for many years and knew that the so-called profound techniques in the lower realm were no match for those in the divine realm. Generally, the most exquisite techniques came from the powerful forces in the divine realm.

"But this guy doesn't look like he comes from a powerful family."

The geniuses cultivated by the major powers in the divine realm are all focused on cultivating the laws of space to improve their divine power and soul realm, aiming to reach the level of a celestial god or even a god-king as soon as possible. Other attack techniques are merely auxiliary.

After all, whether one becomes a Celestial God or a God King, it all depends on the progress of comprehending the laws of space.

It's rare for a genius from a powerful organization to have low divine power and soul realm yet possess exquisite techniques.

The short-haired, muscular man was full of questions, but he quickly shook his head and put them aside.

"No matter who he is, as long as he's fighting against monsters, he's a comrade-in-arms!"

The short-haired, burly man, wielding a black battle blade, charged towards the monster while shouting to Jeg, "Brother, let's join forces and kill this monster!"

"Okay!" Jag readily agreed.

He also realized that although he was not afraid of the monster, killing it would be troublesome, as his divine power level was still too low.

The two charged towards the monster together.

The monster roared and swung its hundreds of claws, aiming for Jeg and his companion.

The short-haired burly man quickly dodged. Although he was a superior god, his physical strength was not outstanding. He could withstand a single claw, but with so many claws attacking at once, he could only dodge.

These claws were covered in sharp barbs, and the beast's first attack had left him with many wounds, so he dared not not dodge.

Jag was much more ferocious; the barbs on his claws didn't even leave a white mark on him.

"It seems that even in the realm of gods, the body of a main artifact is not something that ordinary gods can possess." Jag felt more confident.

In the realm of gods, the physical body is not of great importance, because even the strongest body cannot withstand the laws of space and time. The powerful beings in the realm of gods will focus their energy on comprehending these laws.

Jag threw a punch, blocking the monster's attack, while simultaneously unleashing a soul attack into the monster's body.

The constraints of the divine realm were too great; his divine consciousness could not leave his body, and his soul attacks could not be launched from a distance. He could only penetrate the opponent's body through physical contact.

Jag's soul power transformed into a transparent scythe, slicing into the soul of the demon beast.

The monster's movements froze instantly.

"A great opportunity!"

The short-haired, burly man leaped high into the air and slashed at the monster's head with his sword, simultaneously unleashing a soul attack.

"Brothers, this monster's vital point is its head, attack together!" shouted the short-haired burly man.

Like gods, demons and beasts have their souls in their heads. By shattering the head and destroying the soul, one can kill the beast.

"good!"

Jag also punched the monster in the head.

Both physical and spiritual attacks were unleashed.

The demon beast, affected by Jeger's soul attack, has not yet recovered and is only relying on the original hardness of its physical body to resist the attack, so its defense is naturally greatly reduced.

Jag smashed the monster's skull with a punch, spraying blood everywhere. Not far away, the short-haired strong man slashed into the monster's head with a knife.

The two men's soul attacks continued to assault the monster's soul.

"Brother, don't give it a chance to breathe, keep attacking!" The short-haired burly man swung his sword again and again.

Because of the constant soul attacks, the monster was unable to regain its senses and could only passively endure the beatings.

Jag also understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot, so he punched the monster in the head again and again.

Finally, under the relentless attacks of the two, the monster's head was smashed and its soul was completely shattered, causing it to collapse and die.
