Chapter 822 - 447: Breaking Through to Demigod, Ascending the Divine Steps! (Part 2)
"So jealous! I wonder if the Star God still needs a boyfriend?"
This time, the full-server announcement rang in the ears of every Survivor.
Even Zhou Huang and Boundless, who had long since vanished, heard the system notification.
At this moment, Zhou Huang was following behind that woman and the Shadow Monarch.
Ever since he was taken away by that woman last time, Zhou Huang had stayed with them.
Their current location didn’t seem to be within the Holy Spirit Realm; all around them was a stretch of Void.
The two of them looked somewhat worried as they stared at the Shadow Monarch, who was in the middle of healing.
Yesterday, when the Shadow Monarch returned, his Armor was covered with dense cracks, and his body was riddled with extremely severe injuries.
He was not far from falling.
Zhou Huang and that mysterious woman were both extremely shocked.
The woman immediately asked who had wounded the Shadow Monarch like this.
And when the Shadow Monarch said it was those few Humans, the two at the scene both jumped in fright.
They both knew exactly who those Humans the Shadow Monarch spoke of were.
Aside from that group, it was impossible for any other Humans to inflict such grievous wounds on the Shadow Monarch.
Compared to the Shadow Monarch being injured, they were even more shocked by how fast Han Xing and the others were growing stronger.
They knew that with the woman’s help, after the Shadow Monarch broke through to High-tier Demigod, his strength surpassed that of ordinary peers of the same tier.
Yet even so, facing those few Humans, he had almost lost his life.
That alone showed just how terrifying their Power was!
They were probably at least on the same top level as the Elf King.
Ever since he came back yesterday, the Shadow Monarch hadn’t said a single word.
Zhou Huang and that woman could both see the frustration in this man’s heart.
As if worried the Shadow Monarch would lose his drive from now on, the woman consoled him, "Dark Shadow, just focus on healing. It was only one failure; don’t take it too hard."
"Once we use Zhou Huang’s Human Emperor’s Sword to find the remaining pieces of the Human Emperor Set, a full Set of Holy Artifacts will be enough to instantly give you Godslaying Power."
"When that time comes, those few Humans will absolutely not be your match."
She didn’t care at all that Zhou Huang was right beside her, openly stating that she intended to take his Human Emperor Set.
Yet Zhou Huang didn’t mind either.
After all, his little life was completely in this woman’s hands.
The Shadow Monarch said nothing.
Just then, Zhou Huang’s expression suddenly changed, and that system notification rang in his ears as well.
Zhou Huang murmured in shock, "Already?"
The woman sensed Zhou Huang’s reaction and asked puzzled, "What is it?"
Zhou Huang slowly said, "One of them has broken through to Demigod."
"What!?"
The Shadow Monarch and the woman spoke in unison.
Strong shock flashed in both their eyes.
Because they had just been saying that once they found the other parts of the Human Emperor Set, they’d be able to deal with those Humans.
And now in such a short time, someone had already broken through to Demigod!
"Who broke through to Demigod?"
"Was it the one who uses Bow and Arrow?"
The two asked at the same time.
They knew that all those Humans had already reached High-tier Legendary Level, just one step away from Demigod.
So who exactly had broken through to Demigod mattered a great deal.
Zhou Huang took a deep breath, then shook his head. "No, it was the Mage beside him."
The Shadow Monarch and the woman exchanged a glance, then nodded simultaneously.
"If it’s not that man, then that’s still okay..."
The woman said, "But we still can’t let our guard down. Before we possess Power that can reliably defeat them, we must not show ourselves lightly before those Humans."
"This generation of the Human Race is growing at an increasingly terrifying pace."
"It hasn’t even been five years of development, and someone has already become a Demigod..."
"Give them a bit more time, and they might even break through the barrier of the Holy Spirit Realm and become true Divine Spirits!"
...
Meanwhile.
Boundless, who hadn’t appeared in a long time, was likewise in a strange space.
Everything here was dyed in blood-red.
A mountain of corpses and a Sea of Blood, with countless corpses floating within...
Boundless floated in the Sea of Blood along with those corpses.
If Han Xing and the others were here, they would be shocked to discover:
Boundless’s aura had, without them noticing, already reached the Legendary Realm.
At this moment, the sudden system notification abruptly pulled Boundless out of that State.
"Demigod..."
"How can it be this fast?"
"Ancestor said that a Demigod has to grasp the Power of Rules, didn’t he?"
Boundless’s entire body was soaking in the Sea of Blood, only half his head above the surface.
He gazed into the distance, eyes full of resentment. "I’ve given up so much, all for the sake of pursuing greater Power!"
"I originally thought that once I broke through to Legend, I’d finally be able to catch up to that guy’s footsteps."
"Now it seems I’m only getting left further and further behind..."
...
Center of the Monsoon Islands.
On the Divine Demon Battleship.
Han Xing looked at Zhang Lianmeng, feeling the cold aura around her dissipate, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
He’d really been worried that there might be some issue with these Divine Formats, and that using them to break through would have some kind of side effect on Zhang Lianmeng.
"Lian’Er, how do you feel?" Han Xing asked.
Zhang Lianmeng nodded excitedly. "I feel great, Brother Xing!"
"The boost from this metamorphosis is insanely strong."
Then she honestly told everyone about her gains.
When they finished listening to Zhang Lianmeng, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.
"Damn... All Attributes increased threefold, Divine Power Value increased threefold! And seven Ultimate Skills, plus one Combined Ultimate Skill!"
"Isn’t that way too terrifying?"
