Orderly tyrant

If newborn demons are the infants of the Star Abyss demon race, then original blood demons can be considered toddlers.

Their body proportions are also more than ten times larger, with the tallest life-type original blood demons reaching over thirty meters in height!

Even as toddlers, even the weakest original blood demons, as the difficult hurdle of the Star Abyss's fifth layer, can only be overcome by primitive divine functionaries who have engraved multiple sets of holy characters.

This shows the power of these original blood demons.

At this moment, the six original blood demons from different factions charged from the surroundings simultaneously, accompanied by soul-shaking roars, death aura that corroded everything, illusory and bizarre illusions, terrifying and pure power… all sorts of terrifying methods descended at the same time.

But Lin Qing seemed unaware.

He allowed the pain mirror reflecting his soul to reveal cracks, letting the pain constantly shatter layers of illusions, allowing his life force to continuously deplete in place of the soul's injuries.

He simply closed his eyes, wholeheartedly controlling the divine weapons and domain, allowing the streams of light transformed from the ninety-nine divine weapons to continuously surround and travel around him, colliding and intersecting with each other along strange laws and trajectories.

"Star Spin!"

In an instant, the flying streams of light transformed into a frantically rotating sphere of light, with a radius of only six meters, but it seemed to isolate everything.

At the same time, the attacks from the original blood demons arrived.

If the power of each attack were converted into pure energy, it would be enough to shatter mountain after mountain!

Compared to their massive size, this sphere of light with a radius of only six meters was more like a spinning soccer ball.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Terrifying power crashed down, but whether it was pure destructive force, or invisible corrosion and penetration, or bizarre fluctuations, when they touched the frantically rotating sphere of light, they were like clay oxen entering the sea, unable to produce the slightest effect.

No matter what kind of attack, the rotating sphere of light was unharmed, only slightly trembling, as indestructible as a reef washed by waves!

The demons roared or screamed, constantly using new methods to frantically attack the sphere of light.

"The consumption is really high…"

Inside the rapidly rotating sphere of light, Lin Qing floated in the center, feeling the constantly consumed energy within his body, and couldn't help but be secretly startled.

Fortunately, his energy reserves were already extremely large, and he had a pseudo-divine spark with an energy recovery speed thousands of times higher, so maintaining it for a period of time was still no problem.

However, for him, the limitation on the duration was not energy consumption, but the overdraft of mental strength.

Using this move required simultaneously controlling ninety-nine specially made divine weapons, and the burden on mental strength was conceivable. After using this move, even if he learned other divine skills, he probably wouldn't be able to use them at the same time.

"However… Star Spin's defense can indeed withstand it."

Lin Qing was still very satisfied in his heart.

Very few high-level primitive beings can pass through the Star Abyss's fourth layer without obtaining a primitive-level divine function. Generally, they must have a rare divine function and possess multiple sets of holy characters that increase combat power to have a chance to barely pass through the fourth layer.

Even if they only barely pass through the Star Abyss's fourth layer, they are close to the upper echelon in the metropolitan area.

But even with such strength, they would be instantly killed in the Star Abyss's fifth layer. Being able to withstand a single blow is worthy of praise.

But he was able to withstand the attacks of six original blood demons in the Star Abyss's fifth layer without any damage!

"Ignoring the duration, the defense should be comparable to those councilors who specialize in defense…"

Lin Qing secretly assessed his current level.

The councilors of the Star Patrol Council are all primitive-level divine functionaries, and they can all enter the Sky Islands. With the blessing of multiple suitable sets of holy characters, many can pass through the Star Abyss's fifth layer.

Ignoring holy characters and divine skills, the difference between him and the councilors is that the councilors possess primitive-level divine functions, while he is equivalent to being one level behind.

However, even holy characters specializing in defense can at most improve one level.

And divine skills of the same energy level, once cultivated to perfection, can improve nearly two levels!

"For me, holy characters in terms of defense are no longer meaningful. The small bonus from holy characters can basically be ignored. Instead, holy characters that reduce the burden on mental strength are more useful…"

While maintaining the Star Spin divine skill, Lin Qing allowed the Star Abyss demons to attack frantically, and even had the leisure to ponder the current situation.

"In the future, after I master a set of combat-oriented divine skills, I can also adjust the holy characters to special types."

For example, holy characters like 'Life Affinity' have a great effect during cultivation.

'Source Soul' and 'Pain Mirror' are also very useful.

Holy characters like 'Blood Edge' and 'Endless Divine Power' are all for increasing combat power. After he masters attack-type divine skills, he can also replace them.

"Well, that's about it. These demons don't have any other tricks."

Lin Qing used Star Spin to withstand the attacks of these six original blood demons. After a while, he also confirmed that the Star Spin divine skill is very good at dealing with attacks of various materials, especially in dealing with strong kinetic energy attacks, it can easily dissipate the force.

However, it is not good at resisting illusory mental penetration, and it is still very effective against psychokinesis.

"Look for the sixth layer…"

Lin Qing unfolded his domain, while maintaining the Star Spin divine skill to move, he used his domain to explore the dark vortex leading to the Star Abyss's sixth layer.

Although the domain of the sixth energy level can expand to a range of hundreds of kilometers at full power, the world of this fifth layer of the Star Abyss is also quite vast, and it is not easy to explore it all.

Even if the erosion of the fifth layer of the Star Abyss storm cannot penetrate the defense of the Star Spin divine skill, it cannot withstand such a waste of mental strength.

Moreover, when maintaining the Star Spin divine skill, his speed cannot be too fast.

Theoretically, entering the next layer of the Star Abyss does not require killing all the demons in this layer, as long as you can find the entrance to the next layer of the Star Abyss alive.

But these original blood demons are good at all aspects when cooperating, and may even hide the entrance to the next layer of the Star Abyss.

"I can withstand it for a while. If I'm lucky, I might be able to find the entrance to the sixth layer…"

Lin Qing maintained Star Spin, keeping the highest speed to search around with his domain for the entrance to the next layer.

"If it doesn't work once, I'll search a few more times. I can always find it…"

He was not obsessed with the number of Star Abyss layers or ranking.

It was because the detection secret technique he learned in the Sky Islands was effective, and whether he could get started depended on the number of layers he tried in the Star Abyss.

If he could enter the Star Abyss's sixth layer, the possibility of getting started would definitely be greater.

"Where is it?"

Lin Qing maintained the Star Spin divine skill, allowing the six demons to attack frantically, looking everywhere for the possible dark vortex.

However, the mental energy consumption of fully maintaining the Star Spin divine skill was too great.

Before long, Lin Qing reached his limit.

Under mental trance, the operation of the Star Spin divine skill became a bit more sluggish and flawed.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment the Star Spin divine skill shattered, all kinds of terrifying power directly submerged Lin Qing.

…

After regaining consciousness, Lin Qing continued to try the Star Abyss trial.

He rushed to the fifth layer in one breath, maintained the almost invincible defense of the Star Spin divine skill again, and began searching again for the entrance to the passage leading to the Star Abyss's sixth layer.

The second time, he searched for a while in the fifth layer, persisted to the limit, but still couldn't find it.

The third time, it still failed.

The fourth time…

Each Star Abyss trial's terrain will change, especially the location of the passage entrance to the next layer of the Star Abyss, which will randomly appear anywhere.

Lin Qing could only persist for so long each time, and the time to search the fifth layer was limited. If he was not lucky enough, he would not have time to search for the Star Abyss's sixth layer entrance at all.

Until the twenty-second search of the Star Abyss's fifth layer—

"Hmm? This is…"

This time, Lin Qing finally discovered the dark vortex leading to the next layer, but the surface of this vortex, which was only dozens of meters in range, had already been covered by a layer of invisible power, which not only acted as an obstacle, but also hid the entrance to this passage.

If the pseudo-divine domain could not judge the influence of space through the substance and energy itself, I am afraid that the existence of this passage could not be discovered.

This layer of secret protection, is it prepared by the order-type original blood demon?

"Break."

Lin Qing manipulated the sphere of light composed of the Star Spin divine skill, and directly landed on this invisible protective layer.

The sphere of light, which rotated hundreds of thousands of times per second, was affected the moment it came into contact with this invisible energy protective layer, stirring up layers of various colored energy ripples!

Although this Star Spin divine skill is a pure defensive move, if it can touch the enemy, it is not without lethality.

After all, its own rotation is to repel and throw away all attacks that approach it.

Especially the impact on energy beings is the greatest.

"Boom!"

The sphere of light of the Star Spin divine skill rotated frantically, and the energy protective layer was like a vortex appearing on a calm water surface, expanding rapidly at an alarming speed, so that the entire energy protective layer became extremely unstable.

The six original blood demons roared and screamed, and attacked the sphere of light where Lin Qing was even more frantically.

Lin Qing didn't care, and continued to maintain the Star Spin divine skill, like a mixer, stirring frantically on the energy protective layer.

More than ten seconds later—

"Hua!"

This powerful energy defense completely failed to maintain its stability, and finally completely shattered.

The dark and deep Star Abyss entrance was also exposed.

"It's done!"

Lin Qing was overjoyed, and immediately unhesitatingly manipulated the Star Spin sphere of light, and flew directly into this Star Abyss passage entrance leading to the sixth layer.

In the blink of an eye, he threw the angry roars and screams of the original blood demons behind him and entered the sixth layer of the Star Abyss.

After arriving in the world of the Star Abyss's sixth layer, Lin Qing only felt that the gravity had weakened a lot, but before he had time to feel it carefully, he found that the invisible storm formed by the Star Abyss energy began to penetrate frantically.

The erosion ability of the wandering Star Abyss energy alone was many times stronger than the fifth layer.

Immediately afterwards—

Lin Qing's domain suddenly discovered a remnant shadow transformed by a red-armored original blood demon, and the terrifying speed suddenly made his pupils shrink slightly.

"Boom!"

…

On the cloud-shrouded mountain peak, Lin Qing opened his eyes and rubbed his nose a little helplessly.

"The gap is a bit ridiculously large…"

The Star Spin divine skill can easily resist the attacks of the fifth layer, but in front of the original blood demons of the sixth layer, it is extremely fragile and cannot withstand a single blow.

After all, if he didn't have holy characters and divine skills, his own strength would only pass through the Star Abyss's third layer.

It was the terrifying defense of the Star Spin divine skill that allowed him to pass through the Star Abyss's fifth layer.

As for the sixth layer, any of those original blood demons can slaughter the councilors of the Star Patrol Council. The horror of their strength has far exceeded the limit that primitive divine functionaries can bear.

Being able to pass through the sixth layer is the president of the Star Patrol Council.

And those presidents are all star beings, and they also possess primitive-level divine functions, and holy characters can accommodate nine sets, which is a much greater advantage than him.

"Master, did you pass the fifth layer?" Morning Light looked at Lin Qing in disbelief.

For her, an AI with a three-no setting, showing this expression already shows the impact this has on her.

If it were a normal AI, it would definitely be shocked and shout on the spot.

"It's just good luck, I died in an instant on the sixth layer." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Master, the Star Abyss's sixth layer is a difficulty that only the presidents of the Star Patrol Council can pass."

Morning Light couldn't help but said, "And Master, you don't even have a primitive-level divine function. Normally, it is difficult to even pass the fourth layer. You actually passed the fifth layer? Even some primitive-level divine functionaries on Earth cannot pass the fifth layer."

On Earth, primitive-level divine functionaries can explore the Sky Islands of the Second Universe Network, and the probability of owning high-configuration holy characters is much higher than normal level one civilizations.

In other words—

If you look at the level one civilizations in the universe, most primitive divine functionaries are only at the Star Abyss's fourth layer!

Being able to pass through the Star Abyss's fifth layer is definitely a minority among primitive-level divine functionaries.

Someone who doesn't even have a primitive-level divine function can actually pass through the Star Abyss's fifth layer, which is definitely enough to shock countless people!

"I just withstood it." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Then Master is considered one of the strongest defensive types among the councilors of the Star Patrol Council." Morning Light speculated.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Look at the Star Abyss ranking."

Morning Light nodded, and immediately pointed her finger, and a black background gold letter list appeared in the air.

"Master, you are now 99th, just entering the top 100," Morning Light said.

"99th?" Lin Qing nodded slightly, "It's not as high as I thought. When I passed the third layer, I was ranked more than 300th. Now that I passed the fifth layer, I'm only in the top 100?"

"Master, only some of the characters who passed through the Star Abyss's third layer have Star Transmission Towers, but almost all of the characters at the level of the Star Abyss's fifth layer definitely have Star Transmission Towers."

The latest novel is first published on 6⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥!

Morning Light said, "Moreover, the Star Abyss trial will also be evaluated according to the number of demons killed, the time consumed, and the life force. Of course, the ranking will also be different for the same Star Abyss layer."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

When he passed through the Star Abyss's third layer, he directly slaughtered and killed his way through, and the time it took was not long. He himself was unharmed. In the third layer level, he must be ranked quite high.

This time, he passed through the fifth layer, he didn't kill a single demon, and he passed the level directly by resisting. Although he was unharmed, and the time spent was not too long, the evaluation was definitely not very high. It is normal for the ranking to be in the middle and lower reaches of the fifth layer.

"So it seems, there are probably only a few dozen people in the entire metropolitan area who can kill me," Lin Qing thought to himself.

The Star Observation Council has the largest power and the highest proportion of strong individuals. Most of the original-level divine enablers in the entire metropolitan area join the Star Observation Council. There are twenty-two councilors alone, and most of these twenty-two councilors can pass the fifth level.

After all, strong individuals from various forces mostly join the Star Observation Council to gain benefits from it.

Or rather...

As long as they are cosmic citizens of Earth, they will almost all join the Star Observation Council before obtaining enough benefits. Only top-tier powerhouses like Qi Lingxiao don't care about the Star Observation Council.

Calculating it, there are at least thirty to forty original-level divine enablers in the entire metropolitan area, belonging to the true upper echelon of the metropolitan area.

Adding those top-tier powerhouses at the star level, and some people using alt accounts, it's normal for him to be ranked 99th.

"Regardless, it's already amazing that you, Master, can pass the fifth level of the Star Abyss with your current strength," Morning Light exclaimed, "To pass the fifth level of the Star Abyss after only three years of cultivation, and without even obtaining an original-level divine enabler, you are a legendary genius even in a level-one civilization. You can definitely pass the original-level divine enabler trial for the Commander of Troops with ease!"

Lin Qing nodded slightly, without much emotion.

From the moment he awakened his authority and became a God's Chosen, it was destined that he would crush geniuses from level-one civilizations.

He didn't really take the original-level divine enabler trial for the Commander of Troops to heart.

Even for a rare divine enabler, the competition is still okay, it's just too rare.

This kind of original-level divine enabler trial has a good chance of success as long as you have multiple sets of holy characters, not to mention mastering powerful divine skills.

But Lin Qing was also clear in his heart that his future situation would be different.

The Godchild's divine enabler trial is destined to have God's Chosen competing with him.

Almost certainly from at least level-two civilizations!

Now Lin Qing has confirmed that God's Chosen are actually just pseudo-divine bodies in terms of combat, not particularly outstanding. Their greatest advantage is their ability to understand the essence of cognitive power, making it much easier to master divine skills than others.

He doesn't even need to think to know that when he participates in the Godchild trial in the future, he will inevitably be competing with a group of God's Chosen who have mastered divine skills!

The competitive pressure is unimaginable.

"99th place..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "This kind of strength is considered upper-level in the metropolitan area, but it's far from enough to compete with other God's Chosen..."

He can only pin his hopes on the divine skill of the God's Chosen. He also needs to master the Detection Secret Art as soon as possible.

"The next time the Azure Sky Islands open will be in about a year."

"If I can successfully cultivate the divine skill of the God's Chosen within this year, there will be a great chance."

"And... I can also enter the No. 1 relic, the Vacuum Grand Tomb."

Lin Qing thought to himself, and exited the Star Transmission Tower.

It is said that the Detection Secret Art is related to the number of levels in the Star Abyss Trial. The secret art has a spirit. This time he passed the fifth level of the Star Abyss, so he immediately took advantage of this time to start trying this Detection Secret Art again.

The entry requirement for cultivating this Detection Secret Art is actually to visualize a majestic cosmic god figure composed of stars. As long as the consciousness can get close to the cosmic god, it is considered entry.

"Hmm?"

This time, Lin Qing clearly felt different from the past.

He actually faintly felt that this majestic cosmic god seemed to have a will.

"There is hope for entry!"

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel happy and continued to sense carefully.

"What's different about me this time compared to before? Why can I enter this time?"

"Could it be because of... the aura of the sixth level of the Star Abyss? Has my consciousness changed?"

Lin Qing gradually had a guess in his heart.

Although it is a simulated Star Abyss, the aura of the sixth level of the Star Abyss is richer than the previous five levels, and the impact on the mind and consciousness is stronger.

This can also explain why the higher the number of Star Abyss levels, the greater the hope of entry.

Not long after.

"Entered."

Lin Qing felt that he had truly glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the cosmic god's will, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Order."

After he silently called out the Entropy Inverter panel, he glanced at the pre-payable items, and sure enough, there was the word "Detection Secret Art" among them.

As long as he pre-pays, he can directly master it.

"Unfortunately..."

Lin Qing glanced at the current pre-payment situation with some regret.

The five pre-payment slots, not to mention the authority, which he currently cannot afford to repay.

Of the other four pre-payment slots, three are also the power essence of the three sixth-level energies, which have not yet been repaid.

And the last pre-payment slot is the one he pre-paid today, condensing the nine power essences into one, perfectly forming the Vortex Star Divine Skill.

Although the power essence of the sixth-level energy is complex, it is not difficult to repay. With the Black Flame burning frantically, each power essence can be repaid in about a month on average.

And comprehending and mastering the perfect Vortex Star Divine Skill is a matter of proficiency and comprehension. This kind of repayment is the simplest.

Practice it more, and a few days should be enough.

"Hmm... let's wait a bit, anyway, there are still a few days until January."

Lin Qing thought and made a decision, "Pre-pay the Detection Secret Art first, and after obtaining the divine skill inheritance of the God's Chosen, go to the No. 3 relic, the 'Starlight Secret Vault'. Perhaps it will be useful there?"

The entry requirement for the No. 3 relic is that the transformation to original must not exceed 380 days.

He transformed to original in early January 2123, so the maximum deadline is the end of January 2124.

In short, prepare as thoroughly as possible.

...

While Lin Qing was silently cultivating and repaying his debts, a small storm was brewing in the metropolitan area.

Because...

Various parties have discovered that there is a new name in the top 100 of the Star Abyss rankings.

"Who is this? Did they dig out Lei Tong's third eye?"

"This person suddenly appeared and passed the fifth level of the Star Abyss?"

"At first glance, they are not from our extraterrestrial civilization. At least the various parties are in an alliance. They shouldn't use this kind of name, right?"

"If it was Qi Lingxiao, it wouldn't be strange to use this name at all."

"Qi Lingxiao's insulting names are all at the eighth level of the Star Abyss. This person is at the fifth level. It's definitely not Qi Lingxiao."

"There are only six original divine enablers among the Earthlings. The three dogs of the Upper Three Families, Ye Chen and Kevinson of the Rising Sun Martial Hall, but these two don't look like them..."

"Or is it a new original divine enabler? I have a feeling that this person is newly emerged."

Although there is only one name, after the intelligent systems of various forces analyzed and calculated, they all came to a conclusion:

This powerhouse who recently passed the fifth level of the Star Abyss has a high probability of being a newly emerged original divine enabler, or possibly a disguised top-tier powerhouse at a higher level.

As for below the original divine enabler?

Then they almost certainly must have mastered divine skills to be possible.

However, since the Azure Sky Islands appeared, many people have obtained divine skill inheritances, but very few have mastered divine skills.

And the hidden divine enabler 'God's Chosen' does not exist in the intelligent systems' database at all. Who would have thought that... such a difficult thing as understanding the essence of power actually has a divine enabler that exists specifically for understanding the essence?

According to normal theoretical calculations, even the most ordinary and basic divine skill has a probability of less than one in ten thousand of being mastered by an original creature!

And the existence of Qi Lingxiao, who has mastered high-energy and powerful divine skills, is even rarer.

Therefore, almost no one thinks in terms of divine skills.

Except for a very few people.

Dawn Group, in an extremely spacious laboratory.

Chu Hongjun, wearing a white coat, stood at the edge of a silver-white platform, looking expressionlessly at the elevator platform that was slowly rising below, watching this huge and cold machine, his brain constantly calculating and operating.

"Fifth level... has the divine skill been completed? Faster than expected..."

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the last night of 2123.

In another twenty minutes, it will be 2124.

Lin Qing quietly closed his eyes.

His consciousness was in the Star Transmission Tower space, constantly practicing the already perfect Vortex Star Divine Skill.

To repay the debt of condensing the Vortex Star Divine Skill, he needs to keep the Vortex Star Divine Skill in a perfect state for more than fifty-seven hours.

However, this is purely a matter of experience and comprehension, and he can repay the debt even in a virtual space.

Suddenly—

[The 'Sixth-Level Vortex Star Divine Skill Foundation' has been completed]

Lin Qing opened his eyes and didn't waste any time.

"Order."

"Pre-pay the 'Detection Secret Art'!"
