Chapter 538: Heavenly Spirit City

“Here, our technology has been applied, and the spirit energy is being continuously extracted. It’s just too vast, and it still needs time. It seems the bloodline factor has a rather large scope, possibly without any limits,” Yun Ye suddenly said, pointing to the underground.

“Perhaps this is the meaning of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect, gathering all spirit energy, allowing only my own rules.” Mingri pondered.

The Star State consists of nine cities, each corresponding to a level of the heavenly dome, with entirely different powers in control, each having its own policies.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Spirit City, under the hold of several external sects, is more like a resource transfer station and lacks any real significance.

Important technological research and Dao artifact collection are all located in various Secret Realms.

In fact, the Nine Star Heavenly Sect had long discovered that while the strength of one’s power does affect the resonance obtained, the enhancement is quite limited, and the input does not correlate proportionately with the output.

According to the calculations of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect, the most efficient allocation would be for the highest rulers to possess unmatched and undefeated power, the mid-level to have the strength to defeat the weaker opponents, and the lower level to hold no power at all.

This arrangement would ensure absolute stability in order, leading to a very high efficiency of resonance.

Thus, after obtaining the technology from Tomorrow Society, the Nine Star Heavenly Sect began to set up various advanced formations throughout the Star State, directing spirit energy toward the nine major Spirit Cities.

Aside from areas filled with many demons where formations could not be arranged, the ultimate goal of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect is to leave no spirit energy for the outside world, enclosing vast regions to raise the human race, thus obtaining Dao Artifact Resonance through their large population.

If this era truly arrives, the greatest value of the weaker opponents would be to generate resonance, while their consciousness will be completely blocked as they live out their lives.

“Is Lack of Shadow’s strength at the True Realm only S-? There seems to be still some distance from truly reaching peak individual power,” Yun Ye reflected. Now, Yun Ye could see the panels of the vast majority of life forms and could set specific conditions, such as within the True Realm or within the Honored Position.

After several evolutions, Lack of Shadow’s strength remained at S- level, not yet entering the next tier.

Based on Yun Ye’s experience, along with the explanations provided by the Rebirth Book, a C-level strength can already be deemed as a genius in the overall context, while B-level is classified as a Super Genius. B+ is approximately at the level of the Star State’s outstanding talents, and A/A+ levels are considered peerless and true dragons or phoenixes, standing at the pinnacle of their time.

As for the S level, it represents the peak among all human geniuses in the entire border state, at least being at the True Dragon and True Phoenix level, potentially even obtaining titles like Unmatched or Undefeated, while EX level would definitely earn one of those titles and might contend for the strongest title of Unmatched and Undefeated across all other states.

Lack of Shadow’s S- indicates that a part of its power has reached S level, yet there’s some flaw present.

Yun Ye contemplated, feeling that it should not be the power of Reverse Liberation against the Honored Position, but rather some other flaw. What serious defects might Lack of Shadow possess?

Titles like Outstanding Talent and Peerless are essentially honors awarded to those capable of challenging beyond their current realm.

The talent rankings of the Luo Dynasty are set within the spiritual realm mainly because very few law realms can challenge the Mystic Realm.

Since the Star State’s talent rankings are set within the law realm, it indicates that the outstanding talents there have met the conditions for challenging beyond their realm, being able to overcome the Mystic Realm through the law realm.

But that’s all there is to it, for even the Mystic Realm cannot challenge the True Realm, let alone the True Realm challenging the Honored Position.

The Honored Position is too special; aside from a few truly defiant beings, even the prodigies who reach the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings cannot challenge the Honored Position.

Moreover, the Star State does not even have a True Realm Dragon and Phoenix Ranking!

Currently, the focus in the Star State is mainly on the law realm talent rankings; however, there is still a spiritual realm talent ranking, though its value is not as high as that of the law realm, so it is not deemed necessary to focus on.

Under such circumstances, it is unlikely for the True Disciples of the Star State to obtain the power needed to confront the Honored Position, even if they have EX level talent.

What exactly is Lack of Shadow missing?

With the Ten Heavenly Arts as its core and the rules of slaughter to enhance it, one could say it adapts to all powers; how could such a flawless existence have any weaknesses?

“Bang!”

The barrier on the first floor of the Spirit Law Tower was shattered, and Lack of Shadow’s high-speed growth had overwhelmed this final line of defense.

Through Lack of Shadow’s assault, Yun Ye glimpsed a sliver of the power contained within the Spirit Law Tower.

While it was indeed the power of the Honored Position, it merely projected a protective form that could only be powered by immense spirit energy. This projection appeared as a star, resembling a flickering cross aurora in the night sky, without a clear shape, only vaguely perceptible, hanging in the heavens.

“King of the North Star!”

Similar to the king of the Manifest Realm, upon seeing the Honored Position’s power, he instantly recognized its name. The specific abilities of this power remained unclear but belonged to the North Star Honored Being.

Lack of Shadow breaking through this power was far from the end, as a luminous veil descended from the sky, enveloping the Spirit Law Tower and reflecting the presence of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect.

“Crush!”

Two large characters appeared in the sky, triggering the automatic counterattack mechanism of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect, launching an assault with the combined strength of all the spirit veins in the Star State.

This could undoubtedly unleash an overwhelming and endless power, furiously washing over and trying to eradicate Lack of Shadow.

Such massive force, under the compression of the formation, could directly obliterate a perfect True Disciple.

But Lack of Shadow was too powerful, showing no fear, instead devouring all the radiant energy to evolve itself, completely surpassing what the Nine Star Heavenly Sect could handle.

This was clearly a feast delivered right to its door, only making it even stronger.

…

In the core area of the Star State.

The First Spirit City, Heavenly Spirit City.

This place was filled with countless splendid sights, with vast celestial light spreading everywhere. Each ray matched a peak strike from a perfect True Disciple, forming a foundation that instilled despair in all invading enemies.

The entire Heavenly Spirit City was designed in a floating form, resembling a certain celestial realm, while vast expanses of the human dynasty lay beneath it.

With countless humans living there, the population reached into the billions, continually gathering immense resonance at all times.

To the beings on the ground, the Heavenly Spirit City was akin to a celestial realm, a place of eternal life that everyone fervently pursued.

Only by becoming a ruler and awakening as a king-ranked being would one gain recognition from this celestial realm and step into the legendary land of immortality and enjoyment.

Of course, even while deceiving mortals, the Heavenly Spirit City wouldn’t dare to use the title “celestial.”

Although the word “celestial” holds no special power, it’s a title uniquely reserved for the highest Status beings; how could a mere three heavens-level power dare to bear this name?

Once claimed, the consequences could be a reduction in fortune and a collapse, leading to great calamities and possible annihilation.

At this very moment.

Outside the Heavenly Spirit City, the struggle for the Heavenly Vault Grand Meeting had concluded, with several peerless beings sweeping through numerous opponents to secure the top ten spots.

While this was the time to shift focus to other Spirit Cities, there was no movement in the Heavenly Spirit City, and most True Disciples were gathered within the Heavenly Spirit Palace.

Seated in the main position was the master of the Heavenly Sect, who held partial authority over the Nine Star Heavenly Sect, the chosen True Disciple of Xuxin.

He was aware of Wanqing’s death and sensed the unusual flow of energy.

Even the process of the battle had been fully recorded.

“The mindless disaster beasts, following their instincts, have invaded the area with the most abundant spirit energy. I wonder if there is a controller,” the chosen True Disciple of Xuxin shook his head. “During the time when the Heavenly Sovereign returns, we must assume there is a controller even if there isn’t. I wonder if there are any other traps…”
