Two Realms Mountain.
"Whoosh!"
The Scarlet Sky Sword nimbly traversed the void before returning to Li Chunjun's hand.
Before him, two humanoid believers, who had completely devoted themselves to their deity in spirit and soul, had lost their life force.
...
"Killed Level 23 creature, experience +164!"
...
[Life Level: 29 (5853/90000)]
...
"As expected, Greater Kin equivalent to True Core Realm cultivators no longer grant experience, even though the kin I just killed was among the top of the Greater Kin, just half a step away from promotion."
Li Chunjun's heart tightened slightly.
Ordinary energy cannot replenish the consumption of high-energy equipment.
When the life level of "higher intelligent beings" is significantly lower than his, no matter how many he kills, there will be no experience growth.
This had been proven when he breached the capital of Great Shang.
"True Core and Greater Kin equivalent to Life Level 22 no longer provide experience, but Level 23 Golden Core and Apex Kin can still push my life level to 30. However, after reaching Level 30, to achieve full completion, I can only target Nascent Soul and Divine Spirits."
The combat power of Nascent Soul and Divine Spirits is at least a hundred times stronger than that of Core Formation and kin. By then, the difficulty of his promotion would also increase significantly.
Fortunately, by that time, his combat power should also have a new boost, and he would not be much inferior to the "Prodigy" level geniuses among the Nascent Soul Realm.
With careful and cautious actions, achieving full completion of Level 30 experience should be possible.
And this was also his goal in coming to the Two Worlds Mountain Battlefield.
"I've accumulated quite a bit of Minor Merit, soon reaching 5000. The Shadowless Pearl that Yuan Xiao mentioned costs exactly 5000 to exchange. With this Mystic Treasure, along with my Divine Sense strength that is not inferior to a Perfected Great Lord of Late Nascent Soul Stage, there is almost no possibility of my true strength being exposed."
Disguising as a Perfected Great Lord of Late Nascent Soul Stage might reduce the efficiency of killing, as Divine Spirits sensing his presence would avoid him from afar. But at least it was better than exposing his identity as the "Child of the Stars" and being relentlessly hunted by countless Divine Spirits and kin.
At this moment, Li Chunjun rode the sword light.
"Head back, while clearing out the Divine Spirits and kin along the way."
With this thought, he directly arrived at the edge of the continent.
At the edge of the continent was an endless void, gray and indistinct, its true form unclear.
Li Chunjun stood guard here while checking the map.
On the map, another "continent" with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles was slowly flying towards this direction.
Or rather, the continent he was on and the ten-thousand-mile continent were moving towards each other.
Estimating the time, it would arrive in half a day.
Li Chunjun waited patiently, circling around the surrounding thousand miles several times, slaughtering all the kin and Divine Spirits he could see.
Unfortunately, there were thousands of similar continents and islands, and on average, each continent or island had fewer than ten Divine Spirits.
The continent Li Chunjun was on had more than a dozen Divine Spirits, but after a few days, he had almost killed them all. After searching for half a day, he encountered no more Divine Spirits.
Only small fry of the kin level were eliminated.
Seeing that this continent was almost entirely dominated by human cultivators, with few Divine Race Affiliates left, he no longer competed with those Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators.
After a short while, in the vast expanse at the edge of the continent, an immense landmass that stretched beyond sight appeared before Li Chunjun.
Due to the chaotic spatial forces enveloping each continent, the two rapidly moving landmasses did not collide as they approached. Instead, they underwent a spatial overlap, merging seamlessly.
Li Chunjun soared on his sword, swiftly traversing the hundreds of miles of overlapping terrain between the two continents, and smoothly entered this new landmass, which had a diameter of approximately fourteen thousand miles.
Almost as soon as he arrived on this continent, numerous light dots rapidly emerged on the "map."
The map provided by the Multiracial Hegemony Committee was not perfectly detailed.
Although it could mark the positions of all continents and calculate their trajectories, it could only accurately mark teammates when they were nearby, at least within the same continent.
At other times, the markings of these "teammates" were often delayed and could only serve as a reference.
"In the next 30 hours, three continents will overlap with the space occupied by this continent. However, the positions where these three continents connect and move are not the shortest route back to the base. Therefore, it's best to stay here for 49 hours. After 49 hours, the continent that is the optimal choice for the return journey will move into position."
Li Chunjun used the map's built-in function to record the position of that continent.
He also marked the preliminary plan.
If he missed the continental overlap after 49 hours, another continent 66 hours later could also be used as a route.
However, that route would add several more days to the return journey.
Just as Li Chunjun was marking the route, several distress signals suddenly appeared on the map.
Moreover, these distress signals were all in the same area, less than three hundred miles apart.
This was clearly the same battlefield.
And these distress signals...
"Three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Li Chunjun scanned them one by one.
The power of the Divine Spirits on this continent seemed quite strong?
Considering that the previous battle had not been fully satisfying, and given his current strength, he could easily rank within the top hundred in the entire Two Worlds Mountain Battlefield, if not the top ten. The danger was not particularly high. Without hesitation, he quickly summoned his sword light and headed straight for the nearest distress point.
The teammate requesting aid displayed the rank of "First-Level Solar Radiance."
He was likely an early-stage Nascent Soul True Lord. Upon sensing the arrival of Li Chunjun, who held the rank of "Second-Level Solar Radiance," he slightly adjusted his flight path and headed directly toward Li Chunjun.
The distance of less than a thousand miles between them was rapidly closing.
Soon, Li Chunjun was the first to sense the presence of the one requesting aid.
As he had guessed, it was indeed an elderly early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with graying hair.
"At this age... is he making a desperate final attempt?"
Li Chunjun understood.
At this moment, he also sensed the pursuer behind the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator.
A Greater Sacred Spirit equivalent to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Shortly after Li Chunjun detected this Greater Sacred Spirit, the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator also sensed Li Chunjun.
Upon realizing that Li Chunjun was only at the "early-stage Nascent Soul" level, the elderly cultivator was visibly stunned. He then gritted his teeth and said, "Esteemed True Lord, this Evil God Sacred Spirit is formidable. The two of us may not be a match for it. If no reinforcements arrive, we may have to abandon this continent."
"I just came from the other side. Is the situation here severe?"
"Yes, there are two Apex Sacred Spirits on this continent, and the number of Greater and Common Sacred Spirits combined is no less than forty. Fortunately, they haven't figured out the pattern of the overlapping continents, otherwise, blocking the overlapping zones would make it difficult for us to escape," replied the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Can we form a temporary team to resist here?"
"Not long ago, Zhao Yu Pan, the True Lord, organized a counterattack with twenty-three of us Nascent Soul cultivators. During this counterattack, another Apex Sacred Spirit and thirteen Greater and Common Sacred Spirits emerged from the Divine Race's side. Caught off guard, we were defeated and lost four True Lords..."
The elderly Nascent Soul cultivator spoke with a heavy heart: "Currently, Zhao Zhenren is covering our retreat, and we... are breaking through in all directions."
"Zhao Yu Pan?"
Li Chunjun found the name quite familiar.
He was one of the Perfected Great Lords of the Late Nascent Soul Stage who entered the battlefield between the two realms at the same time as him.
While pondering, his Sword Flight speed did not slow down: "With Zhao Zhenren here, it's not necessarily impossible to fight these Sacred Spirits."
"Not necessarily impossible to fight?"
The elderly Nascent Soul cultivator was startled: "But the enemy is..."
"I'm just disguised as an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As for my true strength..."
Li Chunjun's gaze fell on the Greater Sacred Spirit that had already appeared in his sight. In the next moment, his Sword Flight speed surged, and in an instant, he passed by the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator while unleashing the Great Perfection level Destruction Sword Intent.
The Greater Kin, locked by the Sword Intent, was filled with terror and momentarily lost composure. All his trump cards and Divine Arts were unleashed without reservation, seemingly just wanting to escape Li Chunjun's attack range as quickly as possible.
As he fully unleashed all his trump cards and Divine Arts, the Scarlet Sky Sword silently approached and, without any loss of speed, pierced through his head.
The entire process was swift and decisive.
The move was simple and brutal.
But as long as it was effective, the simpler, the better.
However, this scene, in the eyes of the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator, made him widen his eyes in disbelief.
With just one encounter, he killed a Greater Sacred Spirit!?
Such strength...
"Late-stage Nascent Soul! This is definitely the strength of a Perfected Great Lord of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!"
He suddenly turned his gaze to Li Chunjun, feeling a surge of excitement.
Late-stage Nascent Soul.
Their human race had gained a late-stage Nascent Soul expert! And from the fierce and domineering attack of this Great Lord, it seemed he was not just an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!?
"Whoosh!"
Li Chunjun slightly reduced his flight speed and with a wave of his hand, the Scarlet Sky Sword returned to his grasp.
He quickly took the Storage Bracelet from the Sacred Spirit and briefly collected the spoils of war.
"Thank you, Senior, for your righteous assistance."
The elderly Nascent Soul cultivator immediately came to Li Chunjun and bowed in gratitude.
Hearing his address, Li Chunjun's expression turned slightly strange.
Senior?
An elderly Nascent Soul cultivator, who looked like he had a decaying aura and was conservatively estimated to be at least eight hundred years old, calling him, a twenty-year-old Golden Core cultivator, Senior? However, he did not show this oddity and simply said: "Can you contact Zhao Zhenren?"
"Yes, when we planned the counterattack, we left Divine Sense marks on each other's Message Jade Talismans."
"Then let's counterattack!"
Li Chunjun said, "If we can eliminate all forty-plus Divine Spirits, it would be a significant blow to the Divine Race, especially in the early stages of the battle. It would greatly boost the morale of our human forces."
"Zhi Yuan will strictly follow Senior's orders!" the elderly Nascent Soul cultivator responded solemnly.
What is most important on the battlefield of the Multiverse Hegemony War? Luck, strength, and, most crucially, clinging to the coattails of the top-tier powerhouses. Following behind these supreme experts, even if one can only glean a fraction of their benefits, it undoubtedly provides immense security for oneself.
Moreover, this fraction of benefits often equates to gains that would take a hundred or eighty years to achieve in ordinary times. Therefore, choosing the right person to follow is of utmost importance.
In the eyes of Zhiyuan Zhenren, Li Chunjun, whose cultivation level was unknown but whose strength surpassed even that of ordinary Great True Lords, was undoubtedly the best target to follow.
