Chapter 1513: Crystal Armor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Both the human and the shura were wielding power equivalent to that of a super-class being. It was almost unbelievable.

"It's not weird to have a super-class residing someplace in the New Community, but why are there so many? The way shuras practice makes it difficult for them to become a fourth-ranked fighter. It is incredibly rare for one of them to reach the fourth rank, and it was believed that only five shuras had done so. Why would such elites end up fighting for the New Community?" Han Sen thought to himself. He thought something was wrong.

"Yuanyuan, follow after them!" Yi Dongmu said coldly, as he leaped around in battle.

"But…" Fang Yuanyuan watched as Yi Dongmu continued moving around, not doing direct battle with Shafei. If he hadn't had spatial powers, he would have been heavily damaged by now. Fang Yuanyuan had confidence in Yi Dongmu, but she knew the circumstances were still dire.

"Go!" Yi Dongmu said. His voice was stern.

"Yuanyuan, let's go. With my brother here, they'll both be fine," Han Yan comforted her.

"There are cameras. We can watch what is occurring from there." Zhao Mingze and the others all tried to convince Fang Yuanyuan to go inside.

When she did, and they reached the bottom floor of the safe zone, Zhao Mingze booted up a machine. A direct video feed appeared.

The hotel grounds were soaked in the constant flashing of swords. The hardy ground below was ruined with deep clefts, and the buildings surrounding the fight were being torn apart. Buildings that were a dozen floors high were being lopped in two, causing the earth to quake.

"A demi-god's power is too scary. Is she a demi-god, too?" Hong Lianshun asked.

Everyone felt calmer now. The scary lady, though she looked very strong, was being suppressed by Han Sen.

"It's no wonder he's called Senior Han. He drifted in the Barrens for ten years, and despite that, he came back just as strong." The others all complimented him.

Zhao Mingze watched the video feeds, but he looked strange. He was a demi-god, so he could see and notice some things that the others couldn't.

Han Sen's powers were not just scary. Zhao Mingze had seen many gemstone creatures in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, but compared to Han Sen, they all now seemed weak.

"Had he already managed to reach super-status ten years ago? Dad was right. This man can practice like crazy!" Zhao Mingze thought to himself, as he stared at Han Sen battling.

Yi Dongmu was not doing as well, by comparison. His body repeatedly flashed, as he put his space power and geno core on full-throttle. Even so, he was unable to damage Shafei. He had found himself injured, and it made Fang Yuanyuan worry a great deal.

But still, Yi Dongmu did not think of retreating. His eyes gleamed with fire, and he managed to go even faster.

"Annoying fly!" Shafei looked at him with disdain as she swung her sword. The shura practiced raw physical strength, and Yi Dongmu had the ability to teleport. There was no effective way for her to end her opponent quickly.

But she did know that it cost a lot of energy for him to teleport around the way he was. Yi Dongmu had not reached super-class yet, and he wouldn't last much longer, the way he was going.

"You'll be dead the moment you tire." Shafei then looked over to Tina and Han Sen. She was shocked by what she saw.

"How? Is Tina really being suppressed by Han Sen? Did he reach super class?" Shafei knew full-well how powerful Tina was.

Although Tina didn't have much experience, she had the scariest father in the galaxy. The chairman had helped Shafei become a fourth-ranked shura, so it was difficult to imagine how powerful Tina really was, given the fact she was the chairman's daughter.

Even Shafei didn't dare say she could beat Tina in battle, but there she was, getting suppressed.

"Powerful sword skills! It is no wonder why Naga failed. They cannot fight a human like that. This is scary." Shafei was happy she had brought Tina along now.

Shafei had believed she'd be able to take on Han Sen alone because she did not expect him to have reached super class. According to the plans she had made, she had already failed the mission, though. No matter the result, punishment would await.

But with Tina there, things had a chance of turning out differently. Her powers weren't stronger than Han Sen's, but she carried an item that bestowed her the powers of a god. Although she was too weak to use it as efficiently as was possible, she knew it might be enough to at least kill Han Sen.

"Miss! It is almost time. We have to kill him now," Shafei shouted at Tina.

Tina was annoyed, and she was confident in her own powers. Aside from her father, nothing and nobody else ought to have compared to her. She didn't expect herself to get suppressed by Han Sen, despite giving it her all.

Tina really was getting annoyed. It did not matter what skill she tried to use, her casting would always be interrupted. She had to cancel and move or otherwise risk a blow.

That feeling of not being able to finish casting her skills really annoyed her.

"Stupid human! You will pay for your rudeness." Tina suddenly retreated, as her forehead shone and unleashed a bright white light. Suddenly, a white crystal armor began to envelop her entire body.

The crystal armor made her look holy, but when Han Sen felt the energy coming from it… It was shockingly strong.

Han Sen's pupils grew smaller the moment his eyes saw the armor. It was familiar to him.

The armor reminded Han Sen of the black crystal armor he possessed in his Sea of Soul. They were visually distinct, but the power inside Tina's armor was unmistakably similar to the armor set Han Sen had.

"Ignorant human! Prepare to be judged by God!" Tina screamed to Han Sen as a scary power exploded. She disappeared and re-appeared again, directly before Han Sen. Her greatsword was ready to come down on him.

It was just a set of armor, but it increased her power and speed by an incredible amount. It was difficult to believe this was real.

Chapter 1514: Power That Exceeds the Capabilities of Humanity

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While Shafei was shouting at Tina, Yi Dongmu's eyes went cold. His speedy body suddenly unleashed an unbelievable power. It was like all the speed and power he could possibly possess was let out in a single moment.

Buzz!

His dagger and his body combined. The sky was sundered and the fabric of space was drawn tighter. The dagger was thrust into Shafei's chest.

Seeing the dagger impaled through her chest, Shafei suddenly laughed scornfully. Her hand was fast lightning, and she gripped the dagger and said, "You have a deathwish, trying to play tricks on me."

In the next second, Shafei's grip on the dagger tightened as her face changed. She had made a slip. The dagger she thought she had grabbed hold of wasn't the real threat—it was a shadow.

As this occurred, Yi Dongmu's expressionless face appeared directly behind her. He swung his true dagger, plunging it deep into her back.

Fang Yuanyuan was incredibly excited, seeing this victory. She couldn't even speak straight. Hong Lianshun shouted, "Dongmu-God, good job!"

"Letting herself get distracted before an assassin is a deathwish," Zhao Mingze said.

Blood began to ripple and pour from her punctured back, but Yi Dongmu did not look relieved. His dagger was stuck, as if it had gotten caught on a bone or something.

Yi Dongmu wanted to pull it free, but it refused to move.

Shafei swung the blade in her hand, and Yi Dongmu knew he'd have to leave his weapon and fall back.

Shafei turned around, not caring about the dagger sticking out of her back. She spoke to Yi Dongmu, saying, "I underestimated you, cheap human! You should be proud of the fact you were able to damage me."

After that, Shafei's body began to exude a horrible power. She slashed towards Yi Dongmu at a speed that was greater than before.

"No. That shura woman's body is similar to a super demi-god's. Yi Dongmu is strong, but he would have to be super class to insta-kill her. He isn't powerful enough to reach super-class, so he was unable to kill her." Han Yan frowned.

"What do we do?" Fang Yuanyuan was going to cry.

Yi Dongmu could only dodge, and after that last discharge of might, his speed and teleportation abilities had suffered. He could be killed by Shafei at any given moment.

And at the same time, Tina was clad in her crystal armor. The greatsword she wielded was coming right past Han Sen's face to cleave through his chest.

Han Sen frowned, and but he didn't panic. When he spun, it looked like he had dodged that close call by magic.

Boom!

The steel greatsword came crashing through the air, bringing devastation to the ground he'd been standing on. The crater that formed was a thousand miles deep, and it was as if she had cracked the entire planet.

That strike caused the entire planet to vibrate. Mountains shook in their place, and the seas went wild and tumultuous. Countless more buildings were brought down to their knees, all across Fantis.

Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes. She was far stronger than the demi-god that was said to have blown up a star-class battleship with her own bare hands.

"That woman, is she human?" Hong Lianshun could barely speak.

Everyone, Han Yan and Zhao Mingze included, looked pale. They could not say a single word. That was a strength far beyond the capabilities of any known human, and no one could believe this really was the result of a human's strength.

Han Sen didn't look good. The power Tina used was more than he could fathom. She was stronger than Gu Qingcheng.

"The crystal armor. That power belongs to the armor. That isn't her strength." Han Sen stared at Tina's armor.

The armor bestowed an unlimited power upon Tina. It was like the judgment of God, just as she had said, and it shouldn't have been allowed to exist in that world.

Han Sen could sense that Tina was struggling to use the armor efficiently, though. The true power of the armor was stronger than the strike she had tried to deliver.

Han Sen had a similar crystal armor, but he didn't know how to use it in the way Tina was using hers.

Of course, Han Sen didn't know if the crystal armor in his Sea of Soul was the same type as Tina's. It was similar, but there were some noticeable differences. As Han Sen pondered this, the second strike was already on its way. The power and speed that carried it were immense. It far exceeded Gu Qingcheng's power.

Han Sen could not use his own pure strength to deal with her, so he used the Dongxuan Sutra and went through the motions of his phoenix techniques. He was gunning at max capacity. With his movement and judgment capabilities, he effectively dodged her attacks.

Fantis had been scarred with countless marks, and the planet had pretty much been ruined. Fortunately, many of the humans there had managed to evacuate via the airships. Otherwise, the earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions the sword had caused would have been responsible for countless fatalities.

Fortunately, it was a vacation planet for the high-class. People that came there were rich and their numbers few. If this was a residential planet, the civilians wouldn't have been able to escape.

But there were still people who hadn't been able to escape into an airship in time. As they saw the devastation that was being caused by the sword, they thought it was only a matter of time before Tina caused the entire planet to detonate.

Tina was so annoyed. Her strength was supreme, but she was unable to hit Han Sen. It was as if he was able to predict her every move and dodge the same second she committed to it.

"Luckily, that woman is fighting Senior Han Sen. If that was me out there, I'd have died a million times already." Hong Lianshun's face turned pale.

The others all had the same thought, especially Zhao Mingze. He was currently admiring his father's foresight. Long before Han Sen had achieved such power, Zhao Seventh was already capable of seeing him as a profound enemy to have. Not everyone could do that.

Tina missed again and her eyes squinted. She didn't slash at Han Sen this time; her swing was directed at the hotel.

Han Sen's face changed. He didn't care much for the lives of others, but Han Yan was in there. Their safe zone might have blocked the attack of demi-gods, but it wouldn't withstand Tina's strength.

Chapter 1515: God's Armor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"It's no wonder. That thing is the chairman's geno armor. She might not be able to wield its full strength, but it's already so frightening. It really is the only sort of power a god could have." Shafei looked at the sword strikes and complimented what she saw.

Han Sen was still alive and had not been killed yet, but Shafei could see that he was underneath the incoming sword strike. Shafei felt incredibly happy, and she thought to herself, "I can't believe Han Sen was that difficult to kill. It is lucky she brought the chairman's geno armor with her. If she hadn't, the mission would have been a failure and I would have been punished."

Seeing Tina slash through the emptiness, Shafei was shocked. Then, she understood.

Planet Fantis had been wholly destroyed, but the hotel itself was fine. It wasn't really damaged, and Shafei understood what was happening.

Han Sen's sister and the others had only just entered the hotel, but Han Sen had saved it from annihilation.

"Scary human. Even as the lady is attacking, he can still formulate plans. He led her attacks to avoid the hotel. If the human doesn't die here, he will surely be a great threat to the New Community. It's lucky she was smart enough to notice his plan. If he is unable to block her attack, Han Yan will be killed in the hotel. What will he decide?" Shafei thought.

Han Sen saw Tina slash through the hotel. His face changed, but he did not stop. He stood before that sword strike to try his best to block it and stop its descent upon the hotel.

Tina, seeing Han Sen directly in front of her, was delighted. She exerted more force to drive her strike harder. She hadn't planned to kill anyone else, and she just went for the hotel to get Han Sen to stop dodging her attacks and confront her.

"No!" Han Yan saw Han Sen stand directly in front of Tina's sword and screamed.

Hong Lianshun and the others did not say a word. The incoming strike was too strong, and even Han Sen wouldn't be able to withstand it. Han Sen was clearly using his own body as a shield for them.

Perhaps Han Sen was only doing it for Han Yan, but they all felt the same.

Seeing Tina's shining greatsword coming down towards Han Sen's body, even Fang Yuanyuan hoped a miracle might intervene.

Amidst that scary light, Han Sen's body that was flashing red began to melt into it. Then, they couldn't see anything.

That power destroyed the entire construct of the hotel and all the nearby machines. The video feed for the safe zone was cut-off, and the image vanished.

Everyone was shocked. When they noticed what had just happened, their faces turned grave. They hoped Han Sen was able to deflect that last attack; otherwise, they'd be next.

As their hearts almost leaped out of their chests, they heard a big boom. After it, the entire safe zone began to shake.

Boom!

Outside the hotel, before Tina's strike impacted Han Sen, a dark purple armshield appeared upon his arm.

The shield swiftly became three meters tall, sheltering Han Sen. Tina's attack came down against it.

When the hit landed, the word overbearing appeared upon the shield. Han Sen was sent flying backwards into the hotel, breaking down a number of walls as he went. When he landed, he skidded across the ground for a few hundred meters.

But Han Sen was still on his feet. His mouth was bleeding, but he still held the shield. The armshield had a number of cracks across it, but the word overbearing was now shining like a sun.

At the same time, Tina screamed. The power she had unleashed was turned back on her by the shield. Tina felt a wretched strength come down upon her, and the armor that previously encased her began to fall. Her lips were bleeding.

Tina didn't own that armor set, and what's more, she couldn't control it fully. Now that the power she had unleashed was turned back onto it, it disconnected the armor, and various pieces of the armor began to fall away from her.

Han Sen, Tina, and Shafei were all shocked. They did not expect Tina to end up being shaken out of the armor she wore.

Han Sen could feel that the armor was too strong. The power he had ricocheted back was awful, but it wasn't enough to actually destroy the armor itself.

Now Tina had been bounced out of the armor, it was quite surprising.

"Is Tina the same as me? Can she not control the armor properly, either? So, when the power bounced back on the armor, she was disconnected from it?" Han Sen was thinking, heading over towards the crystal armor.

If Tina was unable to control the armor, Han Sen only needed to go and steal it. Even if he was unable to use it, asset denial was always a good idea. If she didn't have the armor, Han Sen would surely be able to beat her.

Tina's face changed. Then, she headed directly for the crystal armor at the same time.

Just as Han Sen thought, Tina was unable to properly control the armor.

The geno armor belonged to the chairman. He had taught Tina a method in which she could make use of the armor's power—a method that only worked for her. It didn't have any negative side effects, either. But that was because Tina had the chairman's genes, which allowed her to temporarily use the power of the armor.

Only Tina could do this, and not even Shafei could prompt a reaction from the armor if she tried to use it.

The chairman taught this method to Tina in front of everyone. But despite everyone hearing what she was taught, only Tina was able to make use of the geno armor. Shafei and the others believed the armor contained the power of a god. Only gods like the chairman and Tina could make use of it.

Han Sen and Tina rushed towards the armor with a similar speed. Unfortunately, Tina was closer to the armor.

Han Sen used Taia, and he began swinging it at Tina. In a flash, she deflected it with a swing of her own sword. With the room that strike had bought him, Han Sen rushed to the armor to claim it.

Han Sen grabbed it, but he immediately noticed how heavy it was. He was unable to lift the armor up, and he found himself falling down with it.

Tina, who had just been slowed down by Han Sen, laughed when she saw him. "This is God's Armor, and mortals like you are incapable of staining it with your filth."

Chapter 1516: The Power of The Story of Genes

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen didn't want to let go, so he allowed himself to fall to the ground with the armor. A crater formed in the earth, kicking up a plume of dust.

Han Sen gritted his teeth, summoning his Real Blood geno core. He wanted to see if he'd be able to control the armor that way. But when Real Blood touched the armor, it was like water dropping atop anti-stick paper. It just rolled off and was unable to gain a connection with the armor.

Tina, holding her greatsword, came forward again. Han Sen would not be able to guard the armor and do battle with Tina at the same time, and he knew that if she managed to reclaim the armor, getting her out would be harder the next time.

Han Sen used his shield to block Tina's greatsword. He used his sword to force her back and prohibit her from getting any closer to the armor.

"Guarding it is pointless. God's Armor doesn't belong to you, mortal." Tina looked at Han Sen with disdain as she continued attacking.

Shafei was looking on in shock. After she damaged Yi Dongmu, she didn't go to finish him off. She ran to Han Sen, wanting to help Tina reclaim the armor.

Yi Dongmu was too low level to be of much assistance, and he had been severely injured. He wanted to stop Shafei, but he was unable to keep up with her. All he could was watch her glide away.

Han Sen had his gold-patterned shield and his god geno core. It would not be too difficult to kill Tina, but with Shafei joining the fray, Han Sen would be the one in trouble.

With the gold-patterned shield, Han Sen wasn't in afraid of losing against the two, but the armor wasn't moving. He couldn't let Tina get any closer, and this prohibited him from fighting in the manner he wished to.

The gold-patterned shield was a berserk super beast soul, but after that horrible hit it had endured, there was a large crack across its surface. Still, as things were, Tina and Shafei were unable to penetrate his defense. And what's more, he was able to keep on reversing the damage that they tried to inflict back on them.

But soon, Shafei and Tina began attacking from both sides, which made it difficult for Han Sen to keep up the pace. He had to focus on blocking Tina first and foremost, to prevent her from getting her hands on the armor.

As his body was peppered with damage from Shafei, he began to bleed.

Pang!

Han Sen took a bad punch from Shafei, and his body touched down on the crystal armor. Tina was on the side of the armor, just about ready to grab it.

It was too late for Han Sen to stop her, so his plan next was to get up, grab Han Yan, and run. But before he could do any of that, he felt The Story of Genes flare up.

So far, it had only shown minute activity, and the reactions it had were nothing that would aid in a fight. Now it was starting to run properly, though, and Han Sen had no idea why.

The moment The Story of Genes began to run, Han Sen felt as if his body and the crystal armor inside his body had some sort of reaction.

In the next second, the crystal armor on the ground began to shine brightly. Han Sen's body felt as if it was in water. He fell into the cream-colored crystal armor.

"Impossible! How?" Shafei and Tina almost screamed. Their eyes shot open wide, as if they had just seen a ghost.

They couldn't believe Han Sen was able to activate the armor.

"No way! Father said other beings of the universe were incapable of activating the armor for themselves. Only people like us, who share the blood of a god are able to." Tina grabbed the crystal armor, wanting to use the method the chairman had taught her to get Han Sen out.

But when Tina touched the armor, she felt a force that made her scream and bounce away.

"F*ck! What happened?" Tina tried clenching her numbed hands as she looked on at the armor with a face of disbelief.

Shafei was shocked, too. Han Sen had activated the geno armor and replaced Tina as its user.

"What happened? This is the chairman's geno armor. Only people with the blood of a god can use it. How was he able to activate it? Does he have a higher permission of some kind?" Shafei struggled to think of how this was possible, and she was getting frantically worried.

Han Sen was inside the armor, which fit his body perfectly. As The Story of Genes continued to run, he felt the scary power of the armor going inside him. He wanted to scream. And the strength that entered him felt as if it could destroy the universe with only a punch.

"It's so powerful. Is this the power of the crystal armor?" Han Sen tried to move around with the God's Armor.

But after moving only a little, he felt the fabric of space crack. The power it contained was incredible.

Han Sen clenched his fist and felt a power surge there. He thought to himself, "The Story of Genes' power is to control the crystal armor? With power like this, not even super demi-god creatures are a force to be reckoned with. This was very worth it. Even if it took me a full ten years to procure this, it was still worth it."

Han Sen looked over to Shafei and Tina. He clenched his fist and launched it directly at Tina.

"Be careful, miss!" Shafei shouted, pushing her away. Tina had frozen solid.

Boom!

Shafei took that frightening blow, and her fourth-ranked fighter's body was immediately incinerated into dust.

The strength did not stop there, however. It flew upwards into the sky and blasted a hole in the atmosphere. The rift formed was held open by a beam, and it began to expand.

"Strong. So strong!" Han Sen did not have any other words to describe the power he had witnessed. He felt as if it would only take a punch to destroy Fantis in its entirety.

"No way! Father said, aside from him, across the whole universe, only I was able to make use of this geno armor. You required the blood of a god to use it, after all. But Han Sen is just a human. How is he able to use it?" This had impacted Tina a lot, and she couldn't believe another human was able to use the geno armor. Not only that, but Han Sen was using more power than she could when she wore it.

While The Story of Genes was running, Han Sen felt as if he was melting into the armor. They were not separate, and the power was running all throughout his body and armor. It was as if the armor was a part of him.

Chapter 1517: Han Sen's Return

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen's body was filled with power. He looked at Tina, whose face had now become drawn and pale. He clenched his fist and drove it right at her.

She didn't want to try to fight against a power that could break a planet. She didn't run, though; she just remained transfixed at the sight of that horrendous power coming right for her.

Just as that power was about to turn her into dust, an elegant middle-aged man appeared next to her. His hand pressed against her shoulder, and in a second, the middle-aged man and Tina vanished. The scary power was exhausted into space.

Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to search the vicinity, but Tina and the middle-aged man appeared to no longer be on Planet Fantis.

In another quadrant of the galaxy, Tina and the middle-aged man appeared again.

Tina was still shocked at what had just happened, but she was happy to see the middle-aged man. "Uncle Qingyu, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If I wasn't watching over you, you'd have been killed."

Tina was still frightened over what had transpired, and she said, "That human is too scary! I thought father said only those of our blood can use that geno armor. Why was the human able to use it too, and exude an even stronger power with it?"

Uncle Qingyu flicked her on the head with his finger. "Ouch!" she said, reeling back. "Uncle Qingyu, why did you hit me?"

"You deserved that," Uncle Qingyu said. "You snuck out of here, stealing the chairman's armor in the process. Now, that armor is gone. It was taken. How are you going to explain this?"

Tina looked upset. She tugged at his arm and pleaded, "Uncle Qingyu, you will have to say something nice to my father. If you don't, I'm sure I'll be dead!"

The man sighed. "I will do what I can. But you will have to fess up to your mistakes; otherwise, no one can help you."

He then touched her shoulder again, and they both disappeared. When they appeared again, they were in an airship outside the galaxy.

Planet Fantis was like an apocalyptic hellscape. Yi Dongmu got a grip on his pain and stood up, looking at Han Sen with a conflicted expression.

He thought Han Sen had been in the Barrens for ten years, so he'd had the chance to catch up. But there was still a big difference between the two of them; the gulf that separated their powers seemed to be ocean-wide.

Han Sen forced the armor into his Sea of Soul. While he was using The Story of Genes, the crystal armor had become a part of Han Sen. Now, he could make use of it whenever he liked.

But when he stopped running it, that feeling would be gone. He would no longer feel a connection to the armor.

"Big Brother!" Han Yan and everyone else emerged from the ruins of the hotel. Seeing Han Sen standing tall, she was shocked, and she immediately began running toward him. Her face was wreathed with dried tear-tracks, indicating that she had only just been crying.

"Where are those two horrible women?" Hong Lianshun looked afraid, unable to see hide nor hair of Shafei or Tina anymore.

After the signal got cut off, they had no clue what was occurring on the outside. When they exited the safe zone, all they knew was that Shafei and Tina were gone.

"The shura woman is dead, but the other one ran off. It is safe now." Han Sen smiled.

Zhao Mingze and the others were shocked to hear this. It made sense that Shafei had been killed, but before the signal got cut off, they saw Tina's power. It wasn't something a human could defend against. They couldn't imagine how strong Han Sen must have been to be able to block the woman's attack and make her run off.

The mere fact that they had survived was cause enough for merriment. They didn't have the mental energy to think about an alternate ending, right then.

They waited there for over an hour, and after that, the ships of the Alliance and the Zhao family began arriving at Planet Fantis. They explained what had occurred.

Han Sen asked Yi Dongmu to cover for him about what had actually happened, but even so, the soldiers of the Alliance were in absolute shock.

Seeing all the sword marks that had swept across Planet Fantis, they knew how terrifying the battle must have been. Han Sen and Yi Dongmu had managed to beat back the enemy, when the day was done, the soldiers were looking at them both in profound admiration.

Zhao Mingze quietly retrieved the video in the safe zone, though. He kept it private, and he sent it to Zhao Seventh when he was able to.

Zhao Seventh watched the tape and replayed it a few more times before speaking. He said, "Find out who that woman is and find out what her armor is, as well."

"Father, do we still need to investigate Han Sen?" Zhao Mingze couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Seventh said coldly, "No. If he can beat a woman like this, it's proof enough that he is abnormal. This exceeds all our expectations. He is stronger than us. It is pointless for us to continue investigating him. You make sure to look into the woman in the meantime. Find out who she is, but don't draw attention or invoke the ire of any potential new enemies."

"Yes, I will get right on it." Zhao Mingze was a demi-god, and Zhao Seventh was still only a surpasser. But even so, before Zhao Seventh, Zhao Mingze felt like a child who did not know too much.

After Zhao Mingze left, Zhao Seventh began speaking to himself. "It looks like our research has developed too slowly. To think that such strength exists in our world… It far exceeds the capabilities of the average demi-god. We have to quickly produce a greater Angel Gene Fluid."

Because of what had happened on Planet Fantis, Han Sen returned to the Alliance's spotlight for the first time in ten years. Everyone was talking about how powerful he had become, but no one was really able to guess correctly.

Based on the state of the planet and the things people said, it was determined that Han Sen had reached super-class. But he hadn't entered the sanctuary for ten years, and he hadn't been there for very long before his disappearance. The fact that he had been able to reach a super demi-god status in such a short amount of time was incredibly difficult to believe.

Han Sen didn't care about what others thought of him, though. To keep the New Community from trying something again, he asked his family to avoid going out or to stay inside the sanctuaries.

Ji Yanran and Littleflower were safe in the Ji house. The Ji family's planet had countless airships and defensive systems. It was not like Planet Fantis.

But Han Sen was still worried about Ji Yanran and Littleflower. They could be targets, and there were too many elites in the New Community. It would be difficult to defend against such numbers. And the man who took Tina could obviously teleport freely through space. He had to be someone of some renown. It couldn't have been some random nobody.

Somehow, Han Sen thought the man looked familiar. Despite that, he was certain he hadn't seen the man before.

Chapter 1518: Bloodthirsty Ants

Nothing happened after the battle on Fantis. Unexpectedly, it was as if the New Community forgot the entire thing transpired.

Entering the sanctuary again, Han Sen realized he was unable to use the crystal armor. Even if he wore the crystal armor on his way in, when he appeared inside the sanctuary, the connection he felt with it would be severed and its power could not be maintained.

"The crystal armor is so powerful, but it seems suppressed by the sanctuary. What exactly are the sanctuaries?" Han Sen wondered.

Han Sen gave up on his idea of slaying everything in sight with the new armor. He needed to level up, but he'd have to do it through the use of his own hard-earned powers.

Four of his geno cores had reached silver, and aside from the Crystal Core, none of the others had run the silver geno core test.

Crystal Core had reached first rank, but he had been gone for ten years and had been unable to accept challenges. Because of this, it had dropped down into the ten-thousands.

Han Sen planned on leveling up his geno cores, and when he reinforced them all nine times again, he'd be able to use the gold geno core light to bring them up to gold class.

But before he could go to the geno core storage, Ling Mei'er came looking for him. She said she was supposed to leave Dark Spirit Shelter a few days earlier, but she had remained there, waiting on Han Sen. So, when he finally did come back, she was still there waiting for him.

Han Sen followed Ling Mei'er back to Mask Shelter. Little Uncle followed after them, too.

"I'm concerned this trip might not be so safe," Han Sen thought to himself, after leaving Dark Spirit Shelter. Spirit Thirteen must have concocted some sort of scheme once he had gotten Little Uncle to go with them.

The confusing thing was that the black and white Snake King was always with Ling Mei'er. It could not be swayed, so it was very unlikely Spirit Thirteen could accomplish anything. What was the spirit really trying to do?

Suddenly, something crossed Han Sen's mind. "What if I'm the one he now wants to get?"

Han Sen thought it was possible. "Spirit Thirteen doesn't want to kill Ling Mei'er. He needs her to improve his genes. Those he actually wants to kill must be those who are stopping him. That must be why he sent Little Uncle. It's to kill me!"

Thinking of that, Han Sen actually felt relief. He had the God geno core, and even if Spirit Thirteen had super creatures, there was very little he could do now.

The three of them followed the Snake King back to Mask Shelter, and along the way, they encountered a variety of ants sticking out of a number of caves as they went.

They weren't ordinary ants. They were red, as if they were on fire, and around the size of a puppy.

"Weird. Why are there so many Bloodthirsty Ants?" Ling Mei'er frowned, seeing the ants gathered in unusual numbers.

"I was right!" Han Sen smiled darkly. He didn't know how Spirit Thirteen had attracted all of those ants, but he just knew the spirit had to be responsible.

Han Sen asked Ling Mei'er about the Bloodthirsty Ants, and he was surprised by what he heard.

Bloodthirsty Ants were mostly primitive in class, but there were so many of them, you could often see mutant or sacred-blood ones in their midst.

There were king ants, too, and they could often be super creatures.

The geno core of a Bloodthirsty Ant was its blood. When the ants entered Bloodthirsty Mode, their speed and power would increase. The defense of their shells would also increase. They were annoying.

However, there was one thing Han Sen was happy to learn: their beast souls were glyph-type. They could buff his body up. Their geno cores were difficult to retrieve, though. When you destroyed the ants, their blood would suffer and their geno cores would most likely break.

"Spirit Thirteen is playing big. With Little Uncle here, the ant king will most certainly come out to play." Han Sen was fearless, and he was actually feeling excited for this. "Maybe if I'm lucky, I can nab another super beast soul."

The group continued on their way as more and more of the Bloodthirsty Ants became visible. In the beginning, the ants only waited and watched them go by, but now, the creatures were starting to swing their claws.

Han Sen killed a few that ventured close, but they were only primitive. He didn't get a single beast soul or geno core.

But the blood of the murdered ants triggered the fury of the others. An army of ants came cascading out of their holes and caves towards the group. Their eyes glistened red like hellish demons.

In no time at all, the three of them found themselves surrounded by the ants. Aside from Little Uncle, who was a little weaker than them, Han Sen and Ling Mei'er were gemstone class. And while the ants were powerful, they didn't pose much of a threat.

The more ants they killed, the more arrived to take their places. Their swarming numbers seemed endless.

In the beginning, they only encountered ants that were primitive class. As time went by, more and more mutants and sacred-bloods began to join the fray.

"Let's run! There are too many of them, and we won't be able to kill them all. I'll run out of juice really quickly." Ling Mei'er continued to kill the ants as she spoke.

"It's okay. Carry on fighting!" Han Sen wasn't planning on leaving just yet.

Han Sen knew there'd be no point in moving on. With Little Uncle accompanying them, the ants were sure to follow.

As they spoke, a red ant that was the size of a bull emerged from a nearby tunnel.

"Oh, no! It's a Bloodthirsty Ant King." Ling Mei'er saw the giant ant, and when she did, her face changed.

The Snake King had been moving ahead of them, and when it saw the giant ant, it turned around, picked up Ling Mei'er, and went speeding off to Mask Shelter. It didn't care about Han Sen or Wang Yuhang at all.

"Sh*t! What's up with that snake? Why'd it run off and abandon us like that?" Wang Yuhang shouted.

In a cave far away, Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve watched as Han Sen and Wang Yuhang became besieged by the tide of ants. Spirit Thirteen said, "It is a shame Dollar is not here; otherwise, we could kill him, too."

"Don't worry. There are so many around her we need to kill, and we will. There is that female spirit, as well," Spirit Twelve said coldly.

Han Sen, seeing the ant king, became incredibly happy. He picked up Wang Yuhang and tucked him beneath his armpit. Then, he hop-scotched across the backs of the ants to reach a certain cave.

"Little Uncle, say something to attract them," Han Sen said to Wang Yuhang as he ran.

Chapter 1519: Ants That Don't Do Anything

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wang Yuhang didn't know what Han Sen wanted, but he still listened to him. He shouted at the ants, drawing them forward. "You rubbish ants! Come and get me."

When Wang Yuhang yelled, all the Bloodthirsty Ants stopped in their place. They looked over to Wang Yuhang with their red eyes.

In the next second, the raging ants—king included—went on a rampage in Wang Yuhang's direction.

"Han Sen, run!" Wang Yuhang began shouting.

"I am running!" Han Sen said without looking back.

Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve, seeing the stampeding ants, suddenly found themselves frightened. Little Uncle's powers were more effective than they had expected.

"He has a deathwish," Spirit Thirteen said. He didn't think Han Sen and Wang Yuhang could handle the rampaging ants.

But quickly, their faces changed. Han Sen had grabbed Wang Yuhang and run. The crowds of ants, like a dirty tide, could not catch up to them.

Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve shifted forward so they could see, but then noticed something was wrong.

Spirit Twelve reacted first, and he said, "No! They are heading for our shelter."

"They won't be able to reach it, will they?" Spirit Thirteen looked nervous.

"There's something wrong with this human: the ant king is unable to catch up with him. Let us return to the shelter. We can't let them in!"

Spirit Twelve looked ill. He wanted to stop what he had put into motion, but he couldn't keep up with Han Sen.

They realized it was too late. They were too slow, and they were already some distance away from Han Sen. It would be impossible for them to reach their destination before the human.

"They must be randomly running in a direction, yes? They cannot be deliberately heading for our shelter, surely." Spirit Thirteen tried to comfort himself.

"D*mn! This human had it all planned." Spirit Twelve was not as naive as Spirit Thirteen was. His face looked terrible, and he continued the pursuit.

Han Sen, still holding onto Wang Yuhang, kept running. Wang Yuhang could see that the legions of ants were unable to catch up, and even the ant king had been left behind. He was excited by this, and it prompted him to taunt, "You uglies! You should be thankful God let you hideous things live. It's fine if you don't want to contribute, but now you're going out of your way to kill Uncle Wang?! You filthy things are animals. God will flame-grill you into BBQ ants, and I'll be munching your roasted corpses as I sip wine."

If nasty looks could kill, the fierce eyes of the ants would have murdered Wang Yuhang many times over by now. Those eyes were bright like lanterns, flashing red as the ants skittered along with incredible speed.

This was especially true of the ant king. You'd think Wang Yuhang had personally murdered its family. It flew through the air and landed directly behind Han Sen, ready to attack Wang Yuhang.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Wang Yuhang screamed, wriggling and writhing with his hands and legs.

Han Sen summoned his God geno core to dodge the ant king.

Han Sen didn't know Wang Yuhang was that attractive to creatures. It was as if the man's taunts worked like stimulant-injectors, providing a surge of adrenaline to those that hounded him. Han Sen hadn't planned on using his God geno core, but he now realized he had to.

The ant king's claws flew towards Wang Yuhang's face, seeking to strike his eyes out of their sockets.

But when Han Sen sped up again, the ant king was left behind once more. Wang Yuhang took this as another opportunity to provoke the insects.

"Little Ants, you want to touch this pretty face? For a man like me, my face is my fate. Even if you sold all your property, it wouldn't be enough to cover a single one of my trips to the local make-up store."

Han Sen kept running as Wang Yuhang did his best to provoke the ants. The ant army was fuming with rage, determined not to let them go.

Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve looked both angry and hopeless. They couldn't catch up with the ants, and the ants were getting closer and closer to their shelter.

Without a doubt, Han Sen was intending to attract the ants to the shelter. Seeing the raging hordes, they couldn't imagine the horrors that might unfold when they reached there.

"Father, make them stop or our shelter will be no more!" Spirit Thirteen screamed.

"This is the only way." Spirit Twelve gritted his teeth and summoned a few eggs that looked like ping-pong balls. He scattered them on the ground with clear unwillingness. The juice spread everywhere and he said, "I am going to make them pay."

Spirit Twelve had used Bloodsnake Eggs. They were the babies of gemstone sacred-blood creatures. The taste could most certainly attract the ants. He used one to attract the ants to come for Han Sen in the first place. Otherwise, Little Uncle wouldn't have been able to attract the creatures from such a great distance.

But Bloodsnakes were very precious, and Spirit Twelve hated that he had to use more.

But after he threw them, the ants had no reaction to them. They were still chasing after Han Sen.

"What happened?! Why didn't the eggs work?" Spirit Thirteen's face changed.

"Oh no! They made the ants angry. The egg smell alone won't attract them." Spirit Twelve ground his teeth harder, and then he lobbed out the remainder of his eggs at the horde of ants. He couldn't afford to be stingy at this point, so he threw them all.

The Bloodsnake Eggs hit their shells, splashing juices all over the place.

Spirit Twelve thought this would get the attention of the ants for sure, but he never would have expected the ants to completely ignore them.

Even the ants that had egg juice on them did not care. They were still focused on chasing down Wang Yuhang.

"No! No!" Spirit Twelve and Spirit Thirteen screamed hopelessly.

The bunch of crazy ants after Han Sen and Wang Yuhang were now already at the shelter.

Han Sen arrived at the entrance and flew up top. Then, the ant king came forward to batter the gate.

Boom!

The ant king's body broke down the gate, tossing it aside. Countless ants then swarmed inside.

Chapter 1520: Slaying the Ant King

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Oh no!" Spirit Twelve and Spirit Thirteen felt a chill.

Han Sen led the army of ants into the shelter, and the red-eyed ants skittered everywhere once inside. They couldn't catch Han Sen, so they merely dined on whatever other creatures happened to be in their way. Even the buildings and constructs were broken in their rampage.

The ants were like an overflowing river, swamping the entire shelter. In moments, the ground was like a blood-red sea.

"I am going to kill you!" Spirit Twelve saw the creatures in his shelter getting eaten by the ants. They had been difficult to tame, and he clenched his jaw harder and harder.

Spirit Thirteen kept a hand on Spirit Twelve, prohibiting him from rushing in to attack Han Sen.

The raging ants were everywhere, and the ant king was there, as well. It was too dangerous to go.

Spirit Thirteen was glad that their Dark Spirit spirit stones were in Dark Spirit Shelter, that much was certain. They would probably have been killed, with all the ants that had now taken over their shelter.

Han Sen raced into the spirit hall and grabbed the spirit stone embedded in the statue. But the spirit stone did not belong to Spirit Thirteen, and he found that it simply belonged to a royal spirit. This disappointed him.

The royal spirit wasn't willing to pledge allegiance to Han Sen, and it self-destructed. Han Sen thought the spirit might have had a connection to Spirit Twelve.

The shelter, by this point, had been turned upside down. Han Sen led the crowd of ants outside, leaving behind a shelter that was now little more than rubble.

"I'm going to kill you!" Han Sen heard someone shouting from behind.

Han Sen cared little for the voice, though, and he just continued running with the ants.

"Han Sen, what do we do? The ants won't stop chasing us." Wang Yuhang sounded worried.

"We'll kill the ant king and everything will work out," Han Sen said, as he continued running.

"How? Are you able to kill it? It looks like a super demi-god to me," Wang Yuhang said.

"Well, we can give it a try," Han Sen said, then drilled into another passageway.

The passageway was only one-person tall, and when Han Sen went in, the ant king followed. It broke many rocks to get through.

Han Sen saw this as his opportunity. He was going to combine Taia with the red light from his God geno core. Swiftly, he stepped towards the ant's eyes.

The ant king's eyes were suddenly turned into gaping holes. The creature was instantly stunned with pain, and it reeled back with a sudden desire to flee the cave.

"Little Uncle, draw it back over here. Don't let it run off!" Han Sen quickly called.

"I'm not attracting that thing!" Wang Yuhang shouted, but ultimately he couldn't help himself. He yelled at the ant king, "Dumb ant! I thought you wanted me. Come and get me!"

The ant king had wanted to fall back, but it abandoned that desire when it heard Wang Yuhang's voice. With a murderous look, the ant king tried to rush back in. It kept digging its way through in a bid to reach Wang Yuhang and kill him.

"Good job, Little Uncle! Continue seducing it," Han Sen said, stepping back deeper into the cave.

"Could you use a different f*cking word?" Wang Yuhang shouted, as he continued attracting the ant king.

Han Sen kept running, too, but said, "You prefer luring? But that's not quite right. You really are more like a pimp."

"Sh*t! You are not educated. This is called sacrifice," Wang Yuhang said, biting his lips.

"Yeah, sure. Sacrifice." Han Sen just nodded.

Wang Yuhang sounded mad, and he retorted, "Just stop talking crap you idiot!"

Han Sen stopped talking and spent more effort on running.

Han Sen kept thrusting Taia into the ant king that was nipping at his heels. The ant king's fitness wasn't bad, and while Han Sen could damage the fiend, he found himself unable to kill it.

Every time the ant king was injured, it wanted to catch them even more. Wang Yuhang's presence maintained its aggro.

Its steel-like body pursued them, and Han Sen stabbed it in the head many times. It continued to bleed profusely, and after an hour, it began to look weak.

It took half a day for Han Sen to finally plunge his weapon through the ant king's head. The ant king crumpled to the ground and twitched for a while before it stopped moving.

The ant king's face was full of holes, showing how many times Han Sen had stabbed it. It looked really bad.

"Super Creature Bloodthirsty Ant King killed. Beast soul gained. Geno core unobtained. Flesh inedible. Consume the Life Geno Essence to gain zero to ten super geno points."

When Han Sen heard the kill announcement, he felt as satisfied as he did when he ate a lifefruit. "Hunting creatures is better. Those geno plant fruits are useless."

Han Sen had a higher chance of obtaining a beast soul by killing creatures, and now that he had gotten another super beast soul, he was incredibly happy.

Then Han Sen felt angry again when his mind returned to opening geno fruit.

The ant king's body began to fade away, leaving behind a crystal that was the shape of a mini ant king. Han Sen picked it up.

The crowd of ants, seeing the dead ant king, dispersed and ran off. They all gave up their pursuit.

Wang Yuhang wished to shout, but Han Sen held his mouth shut and said, "Don't! There are too many of them. God knows how long it might take us to kill them. Getting the ant king was enough."

"Yes, but by killing the ant king, only you were able to get a Life Geno Essence. I didn't get anything. Kill some sacred-blood ants for me." Wang Yuhang thought it had been unfair.

"There are loads of opportunities to kill sacred-blood creatures, so there's no reason for us to attract so many ants at once. And as for this Life Geno Essence, half of it can be yours. If you want, I can give it to you." Han Sen then put down the Life Geno Essence delicately.

Han Sen had other Life Geno Essences, but he had thus far been unable to absorb them. If Wang Yuhang was able to figure out a way in which it might be absorbed, there would be no harm.

Since Han Sen was able to kill super creatures now, he didn't mind giving up one Life Geno Essence. He had also managed to get the beast soul, after all.

"Really?" Wang Yuhang looked at him in disbelief. To him, Han Sen had never been that generous.

"What do you mean by that? Just take it." Han Sen threw the Life Geno Essence at Wang Yuhang.

Wang Yuhang was delighted. He held the Life Geno Essence like a son and said, "Yeehee! Thank you so much! Next time we kill a super creature, the Life Geno Essence will be yours."

Han Sen wished to say something, but suddenly, a strange sound was heard. When he turned around, his face changed.

Chapter 1521: Old Bee Tree

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

They had been too busy killing the ant king, and they hadn't paid attention to what else was going on. They heard a noise, and they finally noticed a dome-like cave ahead of them, and an old tree inside it.

The old tree possessed a lot of fruit, but they were certainly abnormal. They looked like bees, and they were around the same size as a man's fist.

The wings of the bee fruit were continuously flapping, generating the typical buzzing noise bees produced. They looked weird enough to make anyone feel itchy, seeing so many bees swarmed around the tree.

Han Sen didn't know what sort of tree it was, but after using his Dongxuan Aura, he could tell it was immensely powerful. Fortunately, the bees were just fruit. They were still attached to their harboring branches, so they couldn't attack.

While Han Sen and Wang Yuhang still marveling at their current luck, another noise suddenly sounded. One of the bee fruits twirled around and tried to strike Wang Yuhang by firing its stinger.

The stinger was too fast, and Wang Yuhang failed to dodge it in time. Fortunately, Han Sen was quick enough to react and smack the projectile down onto the ground. But even after that, Han Sen's hand began to feel incredibly numb. His face changed.

Wang Yuhang felt much relief, but now all the bees on the tree had propped their stingers up to take aim at him. Like rain, the stingers all fired needles at Wang Yuhang.

"Oh no!" Wang Yuhang shouted. He was unable to dodge a single one, and now that they were all firing his way, he pictured himself ending up very swollen.

No matter how fast Han Sen could swing his sword, he wouldn't be able to take down all the toxic needles, either. He summoned his Overbearing Shield to cover both of them.

Many toxic stingers struck the Overbearing Sheild, battering it with the patter of a rainstorm. They were unable to break the defense, though.

The gold word overbearing then began to glow atop the shield, ricocheting the force of the stingers back at the tree they had been fired from.

Han Sen thought firing back might allow them to damage the bee fruit or perhaps even kill a few, giving Han Sen a chance to discover what they were.

When the toxic stingers were pinged back, at about halfway in their return flight, it was suddenly as if they possessed minds of their own. They turned around in mid-air and came back for Han Sen.

But the toxic stingers didn't come straight for them this time. Their flightpath curved to go around the shield and get Han Sen and Wang Yuhang. They were like small daggers.

The Overbearing Shield was strong, but it could only protect one side. It could not protect against stingers that came from a variety of directions. This turn of events wasn't making Han Sen happy, so he picked up Wang Yuhang and decided to run.

Fortunately, the toxic stingers couldn't fly very far. When Han Sen had run the distance of a mile, the stingers flew back and returned to the tails of the bee fruit.

"What are those things? They can reattach their stingers?" Han Sen looked back at the bee tree, seeming surprised.

"A whole tree full of bees. That's disgusting! Let's run," Wang Yuhang said.

"Stop. The old tree might be decent. The toxic stingers are quite strong and likely super in class, but perhaps the bee fruits are super creatures. If we kill them, that is a lot of Life Geno Essences for us to harvest. And we're sure to get a beast soul with those odds," Han Sen said.

"No way. How can one tree possess so many super creatures? Are they that cheap now?" Wang Yuhang struggled to believe him.

"It's worth giving it a shot. What if I'm right?" Han Sen didn't want to leave, but he hadn't yet thought of a way in which he might kill the bee fruit.

Their toxic stingers were too small, and they had a distant operational range. Furthermore, the Overbearing Shield would be incapable of blocking them all. Han Sen didn't want to risk getting stung, so he paced back and forth for a while thinking. He still couldn't come up with a firm solution.

"If those bees are all super creatures, this'll be hard. Perhaps we should go back and make a plan." Wang Yuhang seemed to be afraid of bees.

Han Sen looked around and noticed there was only one path leading to the tree. If Han Sen had to retreat, it'd be difficult to make use of the exact same path again.

"Fine, let's go back. We'll return when we come up with a solution." Han Sen then took Wang Yuhang back to Mask Shelter.

Ling Mei'er, seeing them both return safely, was very happy. She thought Han Sen and Wang Yuhang might have been unable to survive the wrath of the ant king.

When Han Sen retired to his room, he had the time to inspect the Bloodthirsty Ant beast soul.

Super Beast Soul Bloodthirsty Ant King: Glyph-Type

Han Sen already knew about the ant king's beast soul type, so he summoned it out. The tattoo of a red ant king appeared on his body, and when it did, a strange heat surged into him. With this intense warmth, it soon began to feel as if his blood was boiling. His strength and speed had definitely increased.

Han Sen, feeling this power inside him, was quite pleased.

When Han Sen used the God geno core, his power reached that of a super demi-god. But that was only because he used the red light from the God geno core and the abilities granted by the butterfly wings.

Han Sen's strength was still stuck at the tier of a gemstone-class creature, but the ant king glyph increased his power and speed. Now he really was very close to super.

"Not bad. This is actually pretty nice. I suppose it was worth my time and effort." Han Sen was really fond of the ant king's beast soul.

The ant king was strong, but it didn't help him with a plan for killing the Old Bee Tree. He couldn't just run up to the tree and kill all the bees.

"It'd be great if I had a super armor. If I did, I could totally block the stingers and kill the bees. It's a shame that pet armor can only be used on a pet. Unfortunately, I don't have any strong pets. If Meowth went up to the old tree, it's unlikely it'd be able to damage the Old Tree Fruit. I need to find a super pet," Han Sen thought to himself.

It was a shame Han Sen had been unable to get one of those so far. Unless Little Angel evolved, his super pet armor would be useless.

"Little Angel, come out soon." Han Sen missed the time he had spent with Little Angel in the past.

"Dad, I miss Littleflower. Shouldn't we go and visit Little Brother?" Bao'er asked.

"Okay, let's go and find Littleflower." Han Sen took Bao'er to a teleporter to leave.

Han Sen was living with the Ji family, currently. When Han Sen came out on the other side of the teleporter, he raised his head. Someone was coming his way. When Han Sen saw the person, he realized it was Ji Qing.

Chapter 1522: Jade Little Lion King

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Qing was the most talented young person in the Ji family. When she was in the First God's Sanctuary, she managed to kill a super creature. She had gone on to max out her super geno points, and she possessed a Swordsoul super body.

The Ji family spent a lot on making her this strong. She had worked hard and she had already become a surpasser. She had almost maxed out her super geno points there, as well. She was going to become a demi-god in the very near future.

Han Sen heard Ji Qing's Swordsoul super body was very strong, but he had never seen it in action. They didn't maintain contact much, if at all. In fact, they'd only encountered each other at a few important events, and even then, their exchanges had been brief.

"Brother-in-law, your sword skills are good. I have almost become a demi-god. I would like to fight against you and see which of us is better with the blade." Ji Qing, seeing Han Sen, smiled.

"You have a sword-based super body. There is no chance of me beating you." Han Sen was passed the age of wanting to win for bragging rights. There were no benefits to fighting Ji Qing, and if he ended up hurting her feelings, it'd only invite the complaints of other members of the Ji family.

Ji Qing blinked and said, "Well, that is something we'll have to find out when we fight. When I become a demi-god, I'll have to fight against you for real."

"We can cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I have duties I must attend to. And what's more, your sister is waiting for me at home. I'm going to leave now," Han Sen said that so he could get away.

After taking Bao'er with him, Han Sen thought to himself, "I want to stay in the sanctuary. If I'm there, there's no way she could seek me out. And besides, she won't be able to fight me unless she spawns right beside me when she ascends. The sanctuary is so big, the chance of her ending up near me is minuscule."

Back with the Ji family, Ji Yanran was sunbathing in the garden alongside Littleflower. Zero was also there, drinking tea. Bao'er jumped down near Littleflower, stroked his face, and said, "Did you miss your big sister?"

"Big… sis…?" was what Littleflower could manage to speak. That being said, he was only comfortable saying Mom, Dad, Sister, Granddad, and Grandma. Still, that was very good.

"Anything new happen recently?" Han Sen asked as he sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea.

Ji Yanran knew he was referring to the New Community, so she shook her head and replied, "Nothing. It's as if they've forgotten all of that took place."

Han Sen frowned. "No way. I stole their treasure; there's no way they'd sit back and do absolutely nothing. Their tempers cannot be that composed."

In truth, it wasn't about their tempers. They just hadn't been able to figure out how Han Sen had been able to make use of the geno armor. If Han Sen was able to use it, they didn't think it'd be worth taking him on when he could use it against them. That was why they had decided to do nothing in retaliation.

In the New Community, there was only the one geno armor. Unless the leader himself went to fight, no one there could beat Han Sen.

The body of the New Community's chairman had yet to fully recover, and it was due to this mixture of reasons they hadn't formulated a plan to exact revenge on Han Sen.

Tina was punished for her actions. Even though it was a grand mistake she had made, the punishment she received wasn't very harsh. The chairman was obviously fond of her.

If Han Sen had killed Tina, things might not have ended up as they had. The chairman might have revealed himself to Han Sen so they could fight, no matter what.

After resting for two days, Han Sen returned to the sanctuary. Then, he went to visit the geno core storage. He wanted to level up his geno cores.

Han Sen used his Crystal Core as a key to open the geno core storage this time, as his Crystal Core's ranking was low. It was weak, and he knew he had to get it to first place.

Over the course of ten years, people had forgotten all about Crystal Core. So, Han Sen went on to challenge the geno cores ahead of him. His challenges were accepted. Han Sen managed to get under the ten-thousand bracket, and he eventually went sub-one-thousand. After that, Han Sen had to challenge those in the hundreds all the way to the tens, and from there, ten and below.

But when a geno core in the thousand-and-below bracket challenged those that were below one hundred, it wasn't easy. The geno cores there would not accept a challenge very easily, as they were afraid of dropping a rank. Han Sen sent a number of challenge requests, but none gave him a reply.

"If this goes on, when will I ever reach first place?" Han Sen was used to getting number one as soon as he entered. He wasn't fond of—or used to—working his way through the ranks, step-by-step.

There was nothing else he could do for the time being, at least. Han Sen looked at the silver geno core leaderboard, and whenever a name lit up, he'd send an invite and wait for a potential opponent to accept.

But none of his challenge requests worked, despite repeated sending.

As Han Sen increased his pace to full-on invitation spam, the leaderboard lit up and sucked Han Sen in through a portal.

"Someone accepted my challenge?" Han Sen was very happy about this, but because he had been spamming, he wasn't sure which invitation had been accepted. When he reached the battleground, he was eager to get a look at who his opponent would be.

A white lion appeared across the battlefield. It was so strong, and it looked bigger than an elephant. Its body appeared to have been crafted from white jade, and its hair was like luscious silk. It looked powerful.

Han Sen did not remember who this white lion might have been. If Han Sen had grown up there and met a lot of spirits and creatures along the way, though, he would have definitely known.

The White Lion King was from Lion Mountain, and it was a berserk super creature. It was a famous beast all across the Fourth God's Sanctuary due to the grudge it had held against an emperor that occupied land nearby Lion Mountain. The lion had destroyed a thousand shelters that belonged to that emperor, wiping them all off the map. The emperor fled and disappeared, never to be heard from again.

The white lion Han Sen was now seeing was the heir of that White Lion King, and although its blood was not pure, its mother was a super creature, and so its genes shouldn't have been too bad.

The jade-looking body it possessed came from its mother, who was called Demon Lion.

It had White Lion King and Demon Lion's blood, and it had earned the creature the nickname Little Jade Lion King. It was a famous second-generational creature of the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

His parents were very strong, and so was he. After running the test, his geno core immediately hit number eleven.

Han Sen had challenged many geno cores, but none had cared until now. Little Jade Lion King didn't care too much who its opponent was going to be, as this was the first time someone had willingly challenged him since he had arrived there.

Chapter 1523: Never Reach the Top Ten

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Little Jade Lion King stepped onto the battlefield and let out a lion roar that sounded like thunder. The entire arena trembled at the sound.

Han Sen was not scared; he was actually happy. He could immediately tell it was the heir of a super creature. Killing spirits on a geno battleground was useless, but killing super creatures was useful. You could get their beast souls, their Life Geno Essences, and in some instances, their flesh.

When the lion saw Han Sen, it looked murderous. It opened its maw and cast out a laserbeam towards Han Sen. It was so fast, it came right at him. Not wanting to scare the lion off, Han Sen wasn't going to stand and block the roarborne blast. Instead, he just moved like a bird to dodge the attack.

Seeing its attack had failed, the lion king looked incredibly angry. It opened its lion mouth and continuously shot out a flurry of beams. It really wanted to kill Han Sen with its roarblasts.

Han Sen continued to dodge, ever so slowly inching his way closer to the lion. He wanted to one-hit-kill the fiend and keep it from running off.

Real super creatures couldn't fight Han Sen, and at the end of the day, his opponent had a silver geno core. His super spank should have been able to kill the lion in a single strike.

Little Jade Lion King wasn't aware of Han Sen's purpose, and it had grown used to being the champion of its battles. No opponents of the same level had proven they had the strength to beat it. And now, because it had missed every shot at Han Sen, it decided to leap right at him.

"Good timing!" Han Sen was so happy. He was wondering how he might get close enough to the Little Jade Lion King, and he had never expected the creature to be so eager to deliver itself right to him.

Han Sen's body gathered power in his right hand, imbuing it with primal magic. It was as if it could transcend the veils between space and reality.

Pang!

His right hand did tear through space, and it struck against the Little Jade Lion King's claws. His fist went right inside, and it felt as if he had broken one of the little lion's strings. He tugged it.

And then, the Little Jade Lion King's body turned into dust that scattered everywhere. But Han Sen thought what had occurred was strange. He hadn't heard the usual killing announcement.

The fight was over, and Han Sen's Crystal Core leaped to number eleven. It replaced Jade Lion, which had now been bumped down to twelve.

In the geno core storage, a white lion's mouth was dripping with blood. It angrily said, "That b*stard. How dare he destroy my geno core Jade Lion! I'm going to kill him."

Han Sen didn't know all he had done was destroy the Jade Lion geno core, but he guessed it had to be some sort of doppelganger or something. It was a shame he hadn't been able to kill the super creature, but at least he had managed to bump himself up to the eleventh rank. He had finished his current task, and he would only need to reach the top ten next.

Han Sen kept on spamming invites, but no one gave him a response. He didn't dwell on it though, as he knew there was nothing he could do about it.

Han Sen came back to send challenges each and every day, and aside from the person in first place, every participant had to challenge someone at least once a month. It was only a matter of time before Han Sen got his guaranteed turn.

But strangely, he had tried challenging others for many days and none were willing to take him up on the fight.

Han Sen thought others recalled how famous Crystal Core had once been, and that was why they did not challenge him.

On the next day, Han Sen entered the geno core storage again. There, someone had challenged him. He took a look at the name and noticed it was Jade Lion.

"Since I'm free, I suppose it'll be worth seeing this Jade Lion again. I'm keen to learn why I didn't kill him." Han Sen accepted the challenge.

After entering the battleground, Han Sen saw Jade Lion once again. When the creature saw Han Sen, it shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

Han Sen was clad in armor, and he used his Dongxuan Aura to mask his true strength. The Jade Lion couldn't tell whether Han Sen was a spirit or a creature.

"It doesn't matter who I am. All I need to do is beat you." Han Sen smiled.

Jade Lion grunted and said, "Beat me? You can turn back now, but I'm warning you right now that your path to leveling up has come to an end."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I've only just started on this road, and the way to the top is clear of obstacles." Han Sen didn't know what Jade Lion had changed or found to make it say this.

"Top?" Jade Lion laughed coldly. "I have met every combatant in the top ten, and none there will accept your challenge. You will never breach that bracket unless you beg before me, right here and right now. Then you can go."

"If the top ten are stronger, why would they listen to you?" Han Sen looked at the lion with surprise.

Jade Lion said proudly, "I am the son of White Lion King. Everyone across the Fourth God's Sanctuary shows me respect. You destroyed my geno core, so if you can't make me happy, you'll never reach the top ten."

Now Han Sen understood why no one was accepting his challenge requests. It wasn't because they were afraid of Crystal Core; it was because this was all a ploy orchestrated by the lion.

"Okay, and how can I make you happy?" Han Sen smiled while looking at the lion.

"Give me an opportunity to release my anger, and maybe then we can talk," Jade Lion King said with a snarl.

"Okay." Han Sen walked towards it, but before the lion could attack, Han Sen moved.

This time, Han Sen didn't use super spank. He used his full strength to strike the lion's chin. It sent the beast flying.

Han Sen's legs were like blades, swinging through the air after that. He kept kicking the lion over and over, keeping it airborne before blowing it up in the air entirely.

Blergh!

In the geno core storage, the Little Jade Lion King spilled even more blood. It had spent a lot of treasure to recover its geno core in such a short space of time. It had wanted to exact its revenge, but instead, it had been assaulted like that and then blown up. It hadn't even been given a moment to concede.

"D*mn! I'm going to kill you." Little Lion King was incredibly angry.

It couldn't fight Han Sen out of the geno core storage, and it had no clue who he was. Revenge didn't seem likely. It was so mad, it called on the top ten to refuse Han Sen's challenges no matter what. That would at least mean Han Sen would not reach the top ten.

Chapter 1524: A Way to Absorb Life Geno Essences

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Little Jade Lion King was worried about the geno core in second place, She-King Blade. The ones between third and tenth place were known to him, and he only had to tell them not to accept any challenges from Crystal Core. They'd listen.

She-King Blade, the one in second place, belonged to a human. He had never seen the human before, but he did know that the human was strong. The spirits that challenged her would usually get killed straight away.

If the person in first rank hadn't avoided her challenges, she would have most certainly reached first place already.

"Ah, of course, it's okay if he challenges that human. He'll die to her, anyway," Little Jade Lion King thought in anger.

He had no idea Han Sen was a human, though. And Han Sen himself knew that She-King Blade was his little sister.

Han Sen observed the top ten. He was unable to challenge first place, and neither could he challenge the person in second place, which was his sister.

"It looks like that lion knows how to bluff, saying I'll never be in the top ten. I don't know the others, but I do know Little Yan. I think I'll have to ask for her help," Han Sen said to himself.

Han Sen left the geno core storage and returned home. Little Yan was still in the sanctuary, so he left her a message and went back to the sanctuary himself.

Han Sen was holding a Life Geno Essence at the time, wondering how he might absorb it.

Han Sen had been researching the Life Geno Essences of Shell King and the Ruby Cricket, but he had yet to come up with a solution that would allow for their absorption.

Han Sen tried to communicate with them, as that was what Six Paths had once said. Unfortunately, he did not know how to obtain their approval.

When he was thinking about Little Yan that day, he thought of something else. Real Blood geno core was the power of blood, and it could control geno cores. Perhaps it could also control Life Geno Essences. If Real Blood was able to control Life Geno Essences, then absorbing them should be fairly easy.

Han Sen decided to give it a try. He brought out Shell King's Life Geno Essence and dropped Real Blood on it. Han Sen was nervous.

Real Blood didn't seem to slide away, and it remained fixed atop the Life Geno Essence. It was slowly being absorbed by the item, and after an hour, only a tiny amount had managed to go inside. It seemed as if it would take at least ten days for full-control to be obtained.

"It looks like Real Blood geno core is at too low of a level. That must be why it's so slow. Still, if this can lead to the absorption of the Life Geno Essences, it'll be great nonetheless." Han Sen was getting very excited.

Han Sen hoped Real Blood would be able to control Life Geno Essences, so he could see if they could be absorbed. Han Sen wanted to level up his Real Blood geno core. If he could get it up to gold class, then the process would surely be faster.

After waiting two days, Han Yan returned from the sanctuary. When Han Yan saw the message, she had waited to see Han Sen.

"Big Brother, why did you want me to wait for you?" Han Yan asked Han Sen.

"I saw your She-King Blade on the silver geno core leaderboard. Why are you number two?" Han Sen asked.

Han Yan heard Han Sen and then looked angry. She said, "That guy is a b*stard! He won't accept my challenge, so I can't level up. The first one was Dragon Eye, and I thought when he leveled up to gold, I could be first. But before he went, he deliberately lost to the person in third place: Blood Wave. I'm only in second place because he refuses to accept my challenge."

Han Yan was complaining, saying if she was in first place, she'd have been gold class already.

"Ah, so you want first place?" Han Sen squinted his eyes and looked at Han Yan.

"Of course! If it wasn't for the nine reinforcements, I wouldn't be this slow. You gave me so many resources to speed me up in reaching demi-god, but ever since, I've been so slow. I'm so sorry," Han Yan said.

Han Sen smiled. "This has nothing to do with your power. It's not difficult to reach the first rank with me, though. But you're going to have to lose once."

"Lose once?" Han Yan looked at Han Sen with confusion, not sure what he meant.

Han Sen explained, "I just got to the eleventh rank in silver class. But unfortunately, I offended a second-generation super creature. In spite, the guy made those ahead of me refuse to accept my challenge requests. When I reach the top ten, I'll find a way to make us both number one."

Han Yan was shocked. "Big Brother, you only have a silver geno core?"

Han Sen had shown off a crazy amount of power on Planet Fantis, and she earnestly believed he had reached super class.

"I have more than one self-geno core," Han Sen said.

"Two self-geno cores? That's very rare. Amidst human demi-gods, only two are known to have two self-geno cores. I didn't know you had two, as well. I am going to the sanctuary now, then. I will help you get into the top ten." Han Yan then asked, "By the way, what is your geno core's name?"

"Crystal Core," Han Sen answered.

Han Yan heard this and was shocked. She asked Han Sen, "Crystal Core? The one that reached first place through the testing on the bronze geno core and silver geno core leaderboards? That was your geno core?"

"Yeah." Han Sen smiled, and then went on to say, "But don't tell anyone else, okay? We don't want any unnecessary trouble."

"I understand. All right, I will go to the sanctuary now." Han Yan didn't ask how Han Sen would later reach first rank.

Han Sen then also returned to the sanctuary and entered the geno core storage. There, he saw She-King Blade light up.

But before Han Sen challenged Han Yan, the Jade Lion challenged him again.

Han Sen didn't say anything and simply accepted the challenge invitation to see what the lion wanted.

Han Sen entered the geno battleground, and when the lion saw him, he immediately said, "See? You can't enter the top ten. You are free to beg me now."

Han Sen smiled and said, "It's not that difficult, you know. I can go whenever I want."

"Pah! Bluffing about this is useless." Little Jade Lion King lifted his lips. This time, though, it was clear he was keeping his distance from Han Sen. If Han Sen tried to kill him again, he could make a quick getaway to keep his newly generated geno core from being destroyed.

Chapter 1525: Back on Top

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"You'll soon find out whether or not I'm lying. And I'm striving for more than just being in the top ten; I'm going to be first," Han Sen said coldly.

"If you ever do become number one, I'll cut my head off and be your chair." Little Jade Lion King scoffed.

Little Jade Lion King thought it might be possible for Han Sen to reach the top ten, but he never believed it'd be possible for him to reach the number one position.

That was because the first rank belonged to Blood Wave. Blood Wave was a subordinate of Little Jade Lion King's father, White Lion. It was very possible for Little Jade Lion King to reach first place, for when he did reach the top ten, his challenge against Blood Wave would be accepted.

Han Sen had no way of challenging Blood Wave, so his opportunity for reaching first place seemed unlikely.

Han Sen laughed and said, "You don't need to cut your head off. But, if I do reach the top, how about you obey and serve me?"

Little Jade Lion King was enraged by this, and he said, "Okay, and if you are unable to reach first place, how about you obey me?"

"Sure. That sounds fair." Han Sen nodded.

"Okay; if you reach first place, I will consider you my master. Otherwise, I will become your master," Little Jade Lion King said fiercely. He wasn't dumb, and he insisted on a time limit of one day.

"Then it is settled. If you lose, don't think about fleeing." Han Sen laughed.

"Who do you think I am? Everything I speak is the truth," Little Jade Lion King said proudly.

He was confident that Han Sen would never achieve first place while Blood Wave was there, and Blood Wave would never accept a challenge from anyone except Little Jade Lion King.

"So, do you want to concede? Or do I need to force you out?" Han Sen said.

"Enjoy this boisterous attitude for one more day. On the next, you will be totally screwed," Little Jade Lion King said angrily, then stomped out of the battleground by conceding.

Han Sen went back to the geno core storage to accept the challenge Han Yan had already sent him. After accepting Han Yan's challenge, he entered the battleground again and met Han Yan there.

When Han Yan saw Han Sen, she was so happy. "Big Brother, you really are the master of Crystal Core? Let me see how strong a core must be to put you on top through the test alone."

"Um, no." Han Sen didn't want to hide things from her, as there shouldn't have been anything he had to hide from his sister.

Han Sen thought the Crystal Core looked like an egg, and its appearance alone made it difficult to believe it was the almighty Crystal Core. He actually thought it was embarrassing that a man's geno core was an egg.

"Are you going to hide something from your cute sister?" Han Yan lifted her lips.

"Um, today is not a good day. But how about I show you another geno core a little later?" Han Sen coughed.

"I've seen your other one. There's nothing else for me to see." Han Yan did not force him, though. After they talked for a bit more, she eventually conceded. Then, Han Sen was able to take her second position, and the She-King Blade fell to third place.

Little Jade Lion stared at the leaderboard, eager to see what Han Sen was doing.

Suddenly, the leaderboard flashed. She-King Blade, which had previously been in second place, fell down a rank. And then, Crystal Core took her place.

"Something is wrong with this human. Is that *sshole another human, too? Did he pay her off with something, so they could switch position?" Little Jade Lion King's face looked grim.

The biggest risk he had taken in his wager with Han Sen was the other human on the leaderboard, and now she had proven that she really was a liability. It made him furious.

"Hmph! But even if you do get to second place, it's pointless. You'll have no hope of replacing the core that's currently in first place." Little Jade Lion King, thinking about this, suddenly felt much better.

Just in case, though, Jade Little Lion King decided to exit the geno core storage. He went looking for Blood Wave so he could stay next to him, in the event something tricky happened.

"I'm not letting Blood Wave out of my sight. After today, I'm going to kick that guy's *ss." Little Jade Lion King was getting himself worked up as he thought about Han Sen again.

Han Sen took the second position. He didn't say goodbye to Han Yan, and he simply left the geno core storage. Then, he used Real Blood as a key for re-entry.

Han Sen planned to use Real Blood to leapfrog to first place. Then, with Real Blood, he would lose to Han Yan. Then, Han Yan could lose to the Crystal Core, and all the geno cores could have their nine reinforcements.

Han Sen had a few other geno cores, but he could only use one geno core at a time and he could not challenge himself. Since he had Han Yan there to back him up, though, it was no longer an issue.

"Starting test." Han Sen didn't speak to the Rockman. He simply allowed it to go ahead and calculate the starting rank.

Rockman's third eye fired a light at the Real Blood geno core as numbers scrolled quickly.

Little Jade Lion King was talking with Blood Wave in Lionheart Shelter at the time, and all of a sudden, Blood Wave blurted out, "Oh no!"

"What happened?" Little Jade Lion asked him, frowning.

"I lost my first position in the geno core storage." Blood Wave looked ill.

"How?! You're kidding, right? You are here. How could you lose your place?" Little Jade Lion's heart jolted.

"I don't know, Little King. Let's enter and find out," Blood Wave said.

Little Jade Lion and Blood Wave quickly scrambled into the geno core storage. They looked at who was in first place, and they were frozen.

The first position of the silver geno core leaderboard was no longer occupied by Blood Wave. It now read, "Real Blood."

"No way! How is that possible?" Little Jade Lion was frozen.

Han Sen's Real Blood geno core reached first place through the placement test. Without hesitating, after reaching that first place, Han Sen sent a challenge request to Han Yan.

Han Yan was wondering what Han Sen might be able to do for them both to touch the top rank, and as she thought, the request for a challenge popped up. She wasn't in the mood for an actual challenge, so she planned on declining it. But then she saw the name of the geno core. It looked very familiar.

"Real Blood? Real Blood…" Han Yan suddenly thought of something. She looked over to the leaderboard and noticed Blood Wave had dropped down to second place, having been replaced by this Real Blood.

"Ten years ago, Real Blood reached first place in the bronze geno core leaderboard. Now it has appeared here? No way…" Han Yan's eyes opened wide, as if she was seeing something unbelievable.

Chapter 1526: Getting Super Geno Points

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Yan accepted the challenge and entered the geno battleground with excitement. There, she saw Han Sen standing.

"Big Brother, how is this possible… The Real Blood geno core is yours? You have three self-geno cores?" Han Yan had always thought Han Sen was strong; he was her role model, after all. But even for him, this was shocking.

Two geno cores that managed to leapfrog to first place had been owned by Han Sen, and Han Sen had a super geno core on top of all that. He was like a monster, and few people would even be willing to believe such tall tales.

"If other people find out Crystal Core and Real Blood are owned by the same person, I fear the entire populace of spirits and creatures in the Fourth God's Sanctuary would go insane." Han Yan felt proud, knowing this was an accomplishment of her big brother—her idol.

"I'll give you first place. Then, I'll challenge you again with Crystal Core," Han Sen said and then conceded, leaving the geno core storage shortly after. Han Sen couldn't explain everything in a couple of short sentences, so he couldn't be bothered to say anything else.

Han Sen re-entered the geno core storage and challenged Han Yan's She-King Blade. Crystal Core was back on top, and it received its ninth reinforcement.

Now the silver geno core leaderboard displayed Crystal Core at the top, then She-King Blade, Real Blood, and Blood Wave. Blood Wave was out of the top three now.

When Little Jade Lion King and Blood Wave entered the geno core storage, they saw the rankings and were stunned. They could not believe what their eyes were telling them, and they were wholly frozen in place.

"How is that possible? No way." Little Jade Lion could not think straight. He did not know how Han Sen had actually reached first place while Blood Wave wasn't even in the geno core storage.

The others in the geno core storage saw Real Blood suddenly jump up into the number one slot, and they all knew what had happened.

The top rankings now kicked off a big fuss. Everyone wondered who the masters of Real Blood, She-King Blade, and Crystal Core were, and if they were in any way related.

There were many wild conjectures, but the thought that Crystal Core and Real Blood actually had the same master did not even cross their minds.

Normal people didn't think it was Han Sen because he had already shown off his Butterfly geno core in the Alliance. Many people had a video of the battle. Because everyone thought Han Sen had a super geno core, no one would link him to two minor-by-comparison silver geno cores.

If Han Sen didn't say anything, no one would know he had four self-geno cores.

After leaving the geno core storage, he started to use his gold core lights to level up Real Blood geno core to gold class.

The gold class Real Blood geno core did not look very different. It still looked like a simple drop of blood, but the interior of the core began to look a little strange. There was a flicker of gold within it, like the sunset.

In Han Sen's body, his Blood Pulse Sutra leveled up with his Real Blood geno core. His body was improving as well.

The Real Blood geno core, which had just appeared on the silver geno core leaderboard, now disappeared. It had only been there for an hour.

Han Sen tried using his Real Blood geno core to absorb Life Geno Essences again. Now that it was gold class, it spread across the items incredibly quickly. Within two days, the Life Geno Essences would be wholly soaked by Real Blood.

"I hope I will be able to absorb it when it is soaked." Han Sen wasn't in the mood to do anything else over the course of the next couple of days. He stared at the Shell King's Life Geno Essence to pass the time.

Real Blood worked more quickly than Han Sen had expected, and after thirty-six hours, the Life Geno Essence had been wholly covered by Real Blood. Han Sen felt when the connection was completed, and then it was as if the Life Geno Essence was an extension of his being.

Han Sen tried to run his Dongxuan Sutra to absorb the Life Geno Essence next. He didn't even need to simulate the Shell King's lifeforce.

"Life Geno Essence absorbed. Super geno points 1."

Hearing this voice, Han Sen became incredibly excited. He could finally start collecting super geno points once again.

"Haha! I'm going to max out my super geno points again." Han Sen looked to the sky as he laughed. He was supremely happy.

External power could be handy, but it was the power that resided inside your body that was the most reliable. Han Sen was extremely excited about leveling his genes up further.

The energy inside the Life Geno Essence entered Han Sen's body. The cells that had stopped evolving began to improve, and his genes were getting better already.

In the end, Shell King's Life Geno Essence gave Han Sen a total of nine super geno points. And after Han Sen absorbed the Shell King's Life Geno Essence, he placed his Real Blood on the Ruby Cricket's Life Geno Essence.

Little Jade Lion was very unhappy about all this. After Crystal Core reached first place, he ran straight out of the geno core storage. He didn't want to go back inside, as he was now afraid Han Sen would seek him out.

He did not want to accept Han Sen as his master, but he wasn't obscene enough to deny such a bargain ever took place.

Spirits, creatures, and humans all valued different things. To the White Lion family, loyalty, bravery, and trust were of the greatest importance. That was why Little Lion's mind was in two halves.

"Little King, the time to go to the Ice Ruins has practically come. Have you sufficiently prepared?" Blood Wave came to ask Little Lion.

"The Ice Ruins are opening?" Little Jade Lion was shocked.

"Yes. Lion Boss asked you to get going to the Ice Ruins tomorrow," Blood Wave said.

Little Lion nodded and said, "Okay. At least very little will trouble me. Will you come?"

Blood Wave nodded and said, "I can come with you. Tooth Beast, as well. He will be in charge of keeping you safe, but that will only apply outside the ruins. Once we're in, grabbing the treasure is down to you and me."

"Of course. Who else, of this same level, could possibly be stronger than us?" Little Jade Lion spoke proudly, but his mind did drift to Han Sen.

As this was happening, Han Sen was simply waiting for the Ruby Cricket's Life Geno Essence to get completely soaked. But before it was absorbed, Shadow Shelter's Cheap Sheep delivered a report. A creature had paid them a visit, asking to see Han Sen. They were told he was a good friend of Han Sen's.

"No way…" After Han Sen heard Cheap Sheep describe the creature, his mouth opened wide.

Report chapter

Han Sen quickly walked to the shelter's hall. There, he saw a creature floating inside.

"Little Fairy? You're a demi-god now?" Han Sen looked at the small, fairy-like lady with surprise.

"What? Only you are allowed to be a demi-god, and I'm not?" Little Fairy lifted her lips. It seemed as if she didn't like what he had just said.

"No, I just didn't expect you to ascend so quickly." Han Sen smiled.

Han Sen had first encountered Little Fairy in the Second God's Sanctuary, not the Third God's Sanctuary. For a creature, leveling up was a much more arduous process than it was for a human. Han Sen was genuinely surprised she had become a demi-god already.

"Pfft! I became a demi-god before you did." Little Fairy looked at him with disdain.

Han Sen then realized why he hadn't seen Little Fairy in the Third God's Sanctuary; it was because she had already become a demi-god.

"How did you find out where I've been staying?" Han Sen asked Little Fairy. The Fourth God's Sanctuary was massive, after all.

"That does not matter, but I found you because I know something that will interest you." Little Fairy smiled.

"What good deeds can you do for me? Forgive my dubiousness," Han Sen said. Little Fairy was a heartless little creature, and she never even looked back when she ascended to the Third God's Sanctuary. She just followed the other person through. Han Sen didn't trust her, and he couldn't imagine her going out of her way to do something nice for him.

Little Fairy looked visibly annoyed, and she said, "You are a really unappreciative person. I came all this way to take you to God's Ruin. I thought you'd benefit from the venture, but never mind then. I'm going now."

Little Fairy said she was going, but her wings flapped at a snail's pace. She wasn't leaving anywhere.

"Drop the act and just tell me what this is all about," Han Sen said. Little Fairy hadn't changed a bit, and her personality was the same as always. The only difference was that she was now smarter and stronger.

Little Fairy didn't feel awkward, and she explained why she was there.

She had been living well for herself. When she ascended to the Third God's Sanctuary, a powerful spirit had taken her. After a few years, it had helped her open ten gene locks, and when the spirit ascended to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, it brought her along.

Little Fairy was living a nice life. She wasn't doing as well as she had in the Third God's Sanctuary, but she had managed to reach gemstone class. She was very talented and powerful, and the spirit continued to help her.

It was a good thing that Little Fairy had come looking for Han Sen. She wanted Han Sen to go to God's Ruin with her.

God's Ruin was a sacred place in the Fourth God's Sanctuary. The item that was said to lie inside possessed a power that distorted dimensions. This was what made it special.

The item had other powers as well, and it appeared in a number of different locations.

Little Fairy was journeying to a ruin that was covered in ice. The place's power was based on ice, just like Little Fairy herself. So, Little Fairy fancied testing her luck to see if she could get the item.

If she didn't get it, there was still plenty of stuff for them to get there. She wasn't lying to Han Sen.

"Many would enjoy visiting such a place. Won't it be suicide for us to go with the power we have?" Han Sen asked quietly.

Little Fairy smiled and said, "If super class elites were allowed, I wouldn't have come looking for you. It only lets gemstones and those below inside."

"Well, in that case, I guess there's no harm in trying," Han Sen said.

"Don't hesitate. Let's go! The heirs of many elites will be headed there, those from a variety of super shelters," Little Fairy said.

Han Sen wanted to go, but he didn't know if he could still enter the ruin if he had a God geno core. A God geno core was a super geno core. If entry was restricted to gemstone geno cores only, he might not be allowed inside.

Han Sen, after thinking things over, decided to give it a shot, regardless. A God geno core was different from a self geno core, so maybe there was a chance he'd be allowed inside.

Even if he couldn't, he might learn something by going along with the venture for the time being.

"Are there any people from Outer Sky or Sacred going?" Han Sen asked.

"Yeah. Yu Miao from Outer Sky is going, and so is Goddess from Sacred," Little Fairy said, after thinking.

"Okay. I'll follow you." When Han Sen heard those two were going, he definitely wanted in.

Han Sen wasn't on pleasant terms with either of those women, but it would be ridiculous for Han Sen to go to their respective shelters to try to kill them. Even if Han Sen didn't earn any relics or items, killing them would make this trip worth it.

That was especially true for Goddess and her cheap dog. He wanted nothing more than to slice them both up. But Han Sen still worried about whether or not he'd be able to go in. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.

Han Sen wasn't afraid of the potential fallout from killing them both, though. Shadow Shelter now had Gu Qingcheng and Red Pony for back-up. They were powerful.

Gu Qingcheng was a powerful person from Elysium Shelter, and since she feared Red Pony, it couldn't possibly be any weaker. Even if Outer Sky and Sacred came after Shadow Shelter, it was difficult to tell which of the two would win.

And Outer Sky knew Gu Qingcheng had taken over Shadow Shelter, too. They hadn't dared to send anyone there, and they didn't know Han Sen had returned to control it now.

Han Sen packed a few things. He wasn't going to bring anyone, but Bao'er, Little Silver, and Starsea Beast caught wind of his venture and wanted to come along.

When Little Fairy saw Little Silver and Starsea Beast, her eyes beamed brightly. She convinced Han Sen to bring them along for additional firepower.

Cheap Sheep and Green Cow were loyal, and they wanted to go, too. But Little Fairy turned them down in case they died.

"Little Silver and Starsea Beast have gemstone geno cores, so we can bring them. They aren't weaker than any super creature's heir. If I can go, they shouldn't have to worry about anything." Han Sen thought about it and decided to let them come.

But Han Sen thought that if he was unable to go inside, he wouldn't risk them going inside alone. It'd be too dangerous.

Plus, Han Sen was still worried about Little Fairy. There was always the possibility that she was trying to trick them.

Chapter 1528: Frozen Forest

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen packed some things and followed Little Fairy to God's Ruin. Bao'er, Little Silver, and Starsea Beast were coming along with them, as well.

Starsea Beast had grown much bigger by now. Its body was big like that of a dinosaur's. But even so, its eyes remained as innocent-looking as ever. Every time Han Sen saw them, it made him feel as if he was meeting the eyes of a child.

Bao'er had been staying in Han Sen's arms for the trip, not wanting Little Silver to come any closer. But Little Silver just jumped onto Han Sen's head instead, looking like a fur cap. It sat there, waving its fluffy tail merrily. That really aggravated Bao'er.

In the time that Han Sen had been in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, he hadn't traveled or explored very far. As a result, Little Fairy had to lead the entire way. Little Fairy knew the way, though, and there were no dangers along their path. It made for a pleasant and relaxing journey.

After walking for half a month, the terrain around them became decked in snow. To the north of where they stood, enormous glaciers reached up into the sky like crystal swords.

Little Fairy lowered her voice at that point, and she told Han Sen, "There is a scary creature guarding the entrance of the God's Ruin. We will need its permission if we are to enter. We are weak, and because we don't know its full strength, we won't be able to go through him if he refuses to let us pass."

Han Sen had expected Little Fairy to not be 100% reliable. He had prepared himself for unannounced challenges, and so he said coolly, "Still, you must have a plan? Why else would you come and fetch us?"

Little Fairy blinked. She flew onto Han Sen's shoulders, smiled, and said, "You know me well. If we go straight ahead, we won't be able to make it in. What we can do is sneak inside."

"And how do we sneak inside?" Han Sen asked.

"God's Ruin is veiled in a special power of sorts: one that cannot be broken by others. The primary entrance is an opening in the valley, where the creature also resides. That's the entrance we won't be able to go through."

After a pause, Little Fairy said, "But aside from that opening in the valley, I know of another way that can be accessed. It is to the north-west of the glaciers. We can get in from there, but…"

"But what?" Han Sen asked.

Han Sen could guess the spirits and creatures would still select the ordinary way through the valley, because Little Fairy's proposed route was likely harder. He wasn't expecting anything to be easy.

Little Fairy shrugged and said, "There are no scary creatures guarding that way, but there are dangerous geno plants called Frozen Trees. We must go through the Frozen Forest that is eight hundred miles long. Only then can we get in."

"Tell me more about the geno plants," Han Sen said.

"They are super plants attuned to the ice element. And their attunement with ice is very strong. Normal gemstone creatures that step into the forest are instantly frozen, and even super creatures and the heirs of emperors are unable to stay inside for very long. If you are frozen, you cannot even commit suicide. The scariest thing is that this area is also a part of the ruins. And the super class beings aren't able to get in, either."

After that, Little Fairy smiled. "Don't worry, though; I'm good with ice. With me here, I can assure you safe passage through the forest. If I wasn't sure of this, I wouldn't have asked you to come here."

"Okay, let's take the path through the Frozen Forest." Han Sen didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Little Fairy was surprised that Han Sen was so quick to agree. She was touched by this, and she said, "If you guys are so willing to trust me, I'll bring you safer than ever."

Han Sen smiled. He didn't trust Little Fairy, and his faith still solely resided in himself. Even without Little Fairy, Han Sen knew he could keep himself and the others protected. The only thing he was still concerned with was whether he could enter at all. If he wasn't allowed to go in, everything would have been for nothing.

Little Fairy didn't say anything more, and she just brought Han Sen over to the glacier mountains and then went north-west.

Han Sen watched the glacier mountains for a while, and he could see the jutting of numerous peaks. He also sensed a certain aura of power shrouding the mountains, too.

When they entered the fields of snow, it was snowing 80% percent of the time there. It was a very cold place to tread.

Fairy wanted the others to believe in her, so she controlled the descending snow to divert each snowflake from falling on her companions. She wanted to show she really was good when it came to the ice element.

"Where is the spirit that brought you to the Fourth God's Sanctuary? Was she unable to come?" Han Sen asked, out of mild curiosity.

If the spirit hadn't leveled up to super, then it should have come as well. If it was super, it could have at least talked to the creature in the valley and allowed her simple access that way.

Little Fairy immediately looked glum, and she said, "She died. She was killed by a powerful elite. Even though she was very strong, I suppose not even the mightiest of beings can deny a grizzly fate, if that is what awaits them."

Han Sen was surprised. To be able to bring Little Fairy to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, the spirit must have been immensely strong. The person that was able to kill her must have been incredibly powerful.

"Who killed her?" Han Sen asked.

Little Fairy shook her head. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will kill that *sshole. That's why I need to level up to super and grab the relic inside. If I can't do this, then I will be unable to avenge her death."

Han Sen did not say anything. Little Fairy's expression was enough to show that her master spirit's death had really done a number on her. She really wanted revenge. But the opponent would be very powerful, and Little Fairy's vengeance would be supremely difficult to achieve. She might even end up getting herself killed.

After a few more days of traveling through the snow, they arrived at the Frozen Forest just as Little Fairy had said.

There were many frozen, ice-wrought trees in there. They were like the immense crystal sculptures one might read about in fairytales. The freezing force of that place would have been able to instantly freeze anything in a ten-mile radius.

Some parts of the Frozen Forest extended beyond the glaciers, but many of the trees were also inside the glaciers themselves. That was why Little Fairy said the Frozen Forest was part of God's Ruin. It made sense.

"Let's go." Little Fairy looked disheartened. Outside her body, a glowing snowflake appeared and expanded to provide cover for them all. Under the protection of that snowflake, they were all warmed. They no longer felt the chill of the outside.

Han Sen felt relieved as he walked through the Frozen Forest, as this was proof he really could go into God's Ruin.

They walked into the Frozen Forest, and Han Sen did not feel cold due to the warming boon imparted by Little Fairy. He did feel a little uncomfortable, though. As soon as he entered the area, he felt as if he was being watched, like a pair of eyes was fixed on him.

Chapter 1529: The Seahorse Pulling a Chimenea

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Although they were still under Little Fairy's protection, as they traveled deeper into the forest, the chill of the cold began to return, ever so slightly. Even Little Fairy was struggling to withstand the pressure of the freezing force.

Most of the cold air was held back, but some gusts managed to break through. Fortunately, Han Sen's fitness was of high enough to resist it doing any harm.

Han Sen continued to look around as he went. He had his Dongxuan Aura firing on all cylinders as he tried to find out what was watching him.

The Frozen Forest was very strange. It was no wonder the area was a part of God's Ruin. Despite giving it his all, Han Sen's Dongxuan Aura could only cover a hundred-meter radius. He couldn't see anything beyond that. And furthermore, he was unable to see where something might have been watching from.

As they traveled deeper into the forest, the sensation of being watched continued to increase. Han Sen kept a permanent frown on his face. It wasn't a good thing to know you were being watched in such a perilous place as God's Ruin.

"This area's security is high, but surely nothing can stay here for very long," Han Sen was thinking.

Soon, Little Fairy quietly shouted, "Be careful! Something is up ahead."

Han Sen, Little Silver, and Starsea Beast looked over in the direction she was referring to. Something was moving through the Frozen Forest.

The Dongxuan Aura wasn't very helpful there, so Han Sen had to resort to his basic, no-frills eyesight. Now, he was seeing things like Little Silver did.

Since they were already there, it wasn't as if there was a point in heading back, either. So, Han Sen looked at Little Fairy and continued walking. Unsure of what lay ahead, and wishing to find out, they exercised more caution as they moved forward.

Not long after, the shadow in the woods became clearer to them. It was a one-meter tall seahorse. Its body looked to be completely made of ice, and it wriggled as it floated by, as if it was swimming through the air. It was silent in its passing.

The Ice Seahorse saw the group, but it did not appear to be hostile. It just continued floating by, on its way to wherever it was going.

"Daddy, look. Many seahorses. So beautiful." Bao'er was pointing at the other side of the forest with a happy expression.

Han Sen looked over to where Bao'er was pointing, and he noticed there were twenty or thirty seahorses floating around in the same manner. The smallest one was only a meter tall, but there were others amidst them of various sizes. The tallest one they could see was four meters high. As the creatures bobbed forward, they looked almost funny.

The seahorses looked very tame, and they all seemed to want to keep to themselves. Han Sen was curious about them, but his Dongxuan Aura had been stifled by God's Ruin, so he couldn't tell what power resided inside the seahorses.

Bao'er laughed and jumped onto the back of one of the Ice Seahorses. She held onto its neck like it was an average mare.

Han Sen was shocked by her actions, and he wished to call her back immediately. They did look tame, yes, but who knew if they would remain so docile after being provoked?

Little Fairy made a hushed call. Han Sen turned to look at her, and he noticed she was staring at something that was behind the Ice Seahorse. The expression on her face made it look as if she had seen a ghost.

Han Sen looked over there and was shocked, as well. Behind the Ice Seahorse was another bunch of seahorses.

The heads of these seahorses were bigger, and they were all at least four meters tall. Their bodies looked to have been made of black diamonds, and they looked hardier than steel. They were different from the other Ice Seahorses that the group had previously observed.

Strangely, there was a chain as thick as a human's arm wrapped around the Black Seahorse's bodies. It looked like a steel chain, and there were many symbols engraved into the metal.

There weren't many Black Seahorses, and Han Sen was able to count eleven of them. They all looked the same. They floated in the air, but they weren't doing so as randomly as the other Ice Seahorses were. They were all aligned, traveling in perfect tandem with each other.

Behind the Black Seahorses, their chains all seemed to connect to something. It was a big, black chimenea that was eight meters tall. It looked like a tall black furnace. The chute had blue flames coming out of it, which were burning fiercely inside it.

But strangely, Han Sen couldn't feel any warmth coming from it. And when the chimenea came closer, they actually felt colder. It was as if it was releasing cold instead of heat.

The strong, icy force was getting stronger, and even with the shielding provided by Little Fairy, Han Sen felt extremely cold. Not even her control of the ice element was able to protect them from that abhorrent force.

Everyone was trying their best to resist the cold with the power they had, but it didn't seem to be working very well. Slowly, they were all beginning to freeze.

"We should run and wait until the chimenea has passed! We can come back later," Han Sen said.

Little Fairy agreed, as did the others. They were all of the mind to vacate the area at once. But unfortunately, their bodies weren't listening. Their legs were sheathed in a layer of ice.

Quickly, that ice was spreading across their bodies. None of them were able to move. They felt as if they were robots, only able to move a tiny amount.

Only Bao'er, who was sitting upon the back of an Ice Seahorse, was okay.

Everyone was shocked by what was going on, so Han Sen summoned his God geno core. It spawned ruby wings behind him, and his whole being began to glow red.

That power pushed the cold back outside of him and kept the icy force from affecting him.

Han Sen wanted to bring his companions away, too, in case something even worse was about to happen. But suddenly, they saw the Black Seahorses stop pulling the chimenea. Then, they all looked at Han Sen.

Han Sen's heart jumped, and he said, "Oh, no! Has my performance made them hostile to me?"

It was then that Han Sen realized they weren't looking at him; they were looking at Bao'er, who was back on his shoulder.

Bao'er was not affected by the cold at all, and she sat on Han Sen's shoulder, dangling her legs. She was checking out the Black Seahorses and their black chimenea.

Chapter 1530: The Elites That Are Fighting

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the Black Seahorses looked at Bao'er, they did not do anything. They simply resumed pulling the chimenea and kept on moving. They moved at a faster pace this time, though, and within a few seconds, they had crossed a great distance.

When the big chimenea left the area, the freezing force reduced. The accumulated frost began to fade, and the ice that trapped Han Sen's companions began to thaw.

"That was way too scary. What was that?" When Little Fairy had recovered, she spoke with a look of fear.

They both had mastery of the cold. Little Fairy had reached gemstone class, so she should have still had some resistance against super class foes. But even with her strength, her body was frozen stiff by that chilling instrument.

"It's none of our business. Come on, let's keep going." Han Sen put away his God geno core and headed deeper into the Frozen Forest.

Little Fairy looked at Han Sen strangely. She had ice powers, yet she could not resist the frosty air. The fact that Han Sen could move amidst it without restraint surprised her a lot.

Han Sen, as they went, still felt as if something or someone was watching him. But when they exited the Frozen Forest, no trouble occurred. They were able to safely enter God's Ruin proper.

The ruins were choc-full of glaciers. It was as if they had entered an ice world. The surroundings were so clean and so virgin, it almost made them feel uncomfortable.

The reflective surface of the snow was so intense that it made the group dizzy, and their eyes struggled to cope with the glare. Although Han Sen and the others had a strong fitness and wouldn't be permanently affected by this, he still pulled out three pairs of sunglasses. One for him, one for Bao'er, and one for Little Silver.

Starsea Beast's eyes were too big, and try as he might, he hadn't been able to find a pair suitable for that companion.

"Didn't you say there is a tunnel inside the ruin? Where is it?" Han Sen asked Little Fairy.

The Godlight Tunnel was formed by the relic they sought, and they would only truly notice the relic's special power once they entered the Godlight Tunnel. And when their bodies went against that power, their bodies would become stronger.

The reinforcement would not appear in your data, but it would help your body, nonetheless.

Han Sen thought Yu Miao and Goddess would make for the Godlight Tunnel. So, that was his next targeted destination. Even if he was unable to find the pair, Han Sen could at least make use of the tunnel for practice.

"I think it's on the left. Perhaps we'll reach the Godlight Tunnel in a thousand miles that way," Little Fairy said, while looking around.

"What do you mean by perhaps?" Han Sen frowned.

Little Fairy opened her arms and said, "I've never been here. I've only heard of this place, and if the intel I obtained was correct, it's a thousand miles to the left."

Han Sen just nodded and did not say anything. Starsea Beast lowered his body and let Han Sen, Little Silver, and Bao'er mount his back. Then he took them in the direction Little Fairy had told them to go.

While Starsea Beast ran, stars appeared all around them like a shining sea. He was very fast. And while Starsea Beast was huge, he wasn't clumsy. He gave the illusion that he was dumb, but his agility was high.

"Slow down! This is God's Ruin, and there are sure to be many dangers lurking here." Little Fairy flew up beside Han Sen and warned Starsea Beast.

Han Sen didn't let Starsea Beast adhere to the warning, though, and it trotted on at the same speedy pace.

He was no longer afraid of the potential dangers of the ruin. More than anything, Han Sen wanted to see if traveling quickly would make the feeling of being watched go away.

But it turned out not to help. Despite Starsea Beast's incredible quickness, that constant feeling of being watched remained.

Han Sen had thought that they might leave the watcher behind in the Frozen Forest, but that didn't seem to have happened. He was being watched with every step he made inside God's Ruin, as well.

"Does this mean the relic itself has a mind of its own, and it can keep tabs on all occupants of the ruin?" Han Sen thought this might have been the only possibility.

Han Sen didn't think the super elites in the Fourth God's Sanctuary could possess the power the relic seemed to have, should his theory prove true.

Han Sen's God geno core put him in super class, but this did not change things for him in the ruin, at all.

"If the relic is watching us, then there is no need to worry. Many creatures have been to this place before. Sure, a bunch of them may have gotten unlucky, but most were able to make it back out. I don't think the relic's intent is to kill people." Han Sen was deep in thought. "But still, why is it watching us? Is it simply curious? Or is it looking for a particular type of person?"

"If it wants to find someone in particular, shouldn't it search for a super elite? But if that were so, why doesn't it allow supers to enter God's Ruin?" Han Sen did not understand, so he stopped thinking. He let Starsea Beast slow down a bit, and the creature continued on its way towards the Godlight Tunnel.

Not long after, they heard the sounds of a battle. It sounded fairly vicious.

When Han Sen heard it, his face changed and he said, "Six Paths is here? Who is he up against that's making him fight like that?"

Han Sen was familiar with Six Paths' sword skills, and just from hearing the sound of the clanging, he knew who it was. Strangely, Six Paths was exhausting all the energy he had for this fight.

Six Paths' geno core hadn't yet gotten back to super class, but his body was up there. To be able to fight Six Paths with such vigor, his opponent must have had a super body.

"I thought those above gemstone level can't get in? Why is there such a strong elite in God's Ruin? Is it another elite that destroyed himself to start all over again?" Han Sen hesitated a little, but he still allowed Starsea Beast to proceed. He wanted to see who Six Paths was fighting.

The fighting was fierce, and the glaciers began to break. They were special glaciers, too, and they'd be difficult even for a gemstone elite to break. Through this metric, you could tell how powerful the fighters must have been.

When Han Sen neared the site of the battle, he saw two beings engaged in combat. One of them was indeed Six Paths Emperor, who was gemstone class. His sword was more frightening than ever.

Six Paths was fighting a human, and when Han Sen saw the person, his eyes opened wide in shock. He knew who it was.

Chapter 1531: Making Something Complicated Something Simple

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"God's Retribution is here?" Han Sen looked surprised as he watched the human fighting Six Paths.

God's Retribution wasn't using a weapon; he simply used his body to fight. He didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, either. His body was stronger than Shafei's, who was a fourth rank shura fighter. And up against Six Paths, he wasn't breaking a sweat.

"You crazy man! I have no qualm with you. Why do you insist on fighting me?" God's Retribution shouted as he fought.

"You are a good opponent. You should really fight with me. Unleash all your power!" Six Paths kept swinging his sword towards God's Retribution.

God's Retribution looked depressed, and he said, "Are you insane? There are many more elites. If you want a good fight, go find one of them. I don't have the time for this!"

God's Retribution wished to leave, but Six Paths' skills were too much, and they prohibited him from making an escape.

"Why would such powerful competitors be in God's Ruin? They must both be super classes. But if so, how were they able to enter?" Little Fairy was shocked at the display of what she saw.

She thought there'd only be gemstone class or second-generation creatures that could compete with her. And after she found Han Sen, she thought for sure the relic would end up being hers. She didn't expect to find two super elites such as that after entering the ruins.

Han Sen, on the other hand, was at ease. He knew Six Paths wouldn't bother him. God's Retribution didn't have much of a grudge with him, either. While those two super elites might have been there, there was no great conflict to put them at odds. And he didn't think they had any connection with Outer Sky or Sacred. Their presence wouldn't affect Han Sen's personal mission.

Han Sen made Starsea Beast park someplace near, so Han Sen could dismount, get comfy, and watch for a while. Han Sen had learned a few of Six Paths' tricks, but aside from Heart Sword, he hadn't really spent time practicing anything else. Han Sen had never seen Six Paths fight with all his strength before, but now that he saw it, he was able to learn a lot.

Han Sen was surprised by the method of fighting that God's Retribution used. Han Sen knew he was a current member of Blood Legion, and due to his blood, he was unable to take advantage of the elemental powers of the sanctuary. He had to use raw, physical damage whenever he fought.

But God's Retribution's combat power surprised Han Sen. He was almost as good as a super demi-god, and his body and combat skills were strange.

His fists looked simple, and it seemed as if Han Sen was watching something incredibly basic. In fact, most of the skills were something you'd easily find in school. But it was frightening to watch such normal punching skills deflect Six Paths' sword skills. It would shock any spectator.

After Han Sen watched them for a while, his surprise deepened. He noticed that the simple-looking punches were actually very complicated. While they looked simple, the timing and application of the skills were deeper than it first appeared.

After watching God's Retribution fight for a while, Han Sen was able to comprehend what he was doing.

"That's a strong fist skill. And God's Retribution is strong, indeed. This is definitely not something the average human can do. It's no wonder he is a member of Blood Legion." Han Sen complimented him, in his heart.

Han Sen was also very happy. Those punching skills suited him.

While the skills were simple, they would still be difficult to learn in the way Han Sen would want to.

It was tricky to simplify a complicated skill. You had to have a deep understanding of the complete complexities before you could concentrate the skill down to its pure essence. If you started from the simplified version, you wouldn't understand what was really inside what you learned. It was pointless to just learn the shell.

You couldn't live life to its fullest without struggle.

Learning Ghost Sword had been complicated, but seeing God's Retribution's punching skills, he felt as if he was learning so much more. He wasn't going to copy God's Retribution; he was just finding things that could be changed and adapted into a sword skill.

God's Retribution didn't want a fruitless fight with Six Paths, but Six Paths was keeping him there, regardless. And although his punches were strong, they weren't enough to suppress Six Paths. If they had a genuine fight, determining a winner would be difficult.

But God's Retribution didn't plan on fighting. He just wanted to leave, and that upset Six Paths.

Suddenly, Six Paths and God's Retribution saw Han Sen and the others, as he wasn't a great distance away. They started to approach Han Sen as they fought.

Han Sen knew exactly what God's Retribution was thinking, and he told Starsea Beast to run off and keep away from Six Paths.

God's Retribution looked depressed, as he was hoping Han Sen could be drawn into the fight and left to deal with Six Paths, who was crazy. But Han Sen knew what his true purpose was, and he wouldn't let God's Retribution come close.

The pair couldn't move very fast while they were fighting, so they couldn't catch up with Han Sen.

God's Retribution clenched his jaw, then shouted at Han Sen, saying, "Kid, help me get rid of this maniac and I'll tell you where the relic is!"

Han Sen didn't believe him, and he raised his voice to respond, "Keep the relic to yourself. I'm not interested."

God's Retribution was disheartened once more. He rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to know the biggest secrets of Blood Legion? Help me here and I'll tell you."

Han Sen grinned. "I already met the leader of Blood Legion. You have greater secrets than him?"

God's Retribution couldn't fool Han Sen, and he was surprised by what he heard. "What? You met him?"

"Yeah, and he told me you were a traitor. He told me if I ever find you, I should cut you up into little pieces." That was just Han Sen bluffing.

Surprisingly, God's Retribution believed what he had been told. He sighed and said, "I was tricked by Han Jinzhi, that *sshole! He made me an enemy of the leader. But the leader wasn't right, either. Blood Legion should not have gone down that path."

"Which path?" Han Sen asked.

God's Retribution stopped talking. It looked like he had just thought of something unhappy, and his mood turned foul. He then began fighting Six Paths like mad.

God's Retribution was extremely serious now, and their fight became crazier than ever. It was a much better spectacle to watch, and now Han Sen could learn even more.

Chapter 1532: Traveling Through a Sea of Stars

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The two continued to fight, as glaciers all around them were destroyed.

"You guys should take a look at this!" Little Fairy suddenly shouted, as Han Sen was fixated on watching the fight.

Han Sen turned around and looked at Little Fairy, then followed her extended arm to see what she was pointing at. There were cracks in the ice, and blood was beginning to seep out of one of them. It started to pool and run towards them.

"Oh, no!" Han Sen's face changed. It wasn't actually blood; in fact, it wasn't even liquid. It was a swarm of red bugs, each the size of a sesame seed. There was a countless number of them, all racing out of the ice cracks in a stream.

Anything those red bugs ran across was eaten, save for the icy ground itself. Their passing made the mountain of ice look even more dead, and there wasn't much there to begin with.

"Stop fighting! Look at what's coming!" Han Sen shouted at God's Retribution and Six Paths.

When they heard Han Sen's call, Six Paths did not listen. He merely continued his rampage of attacks. God's Retribution was able to see the threat, though. His face changed, and he too shouted, "Oh, no! They are God's Corpse Bugs! Run!"

God's Retribution turned around, wishing to flee. But he was immediately blocked by the manic Six Paths.

"Are you crazy?! If we don't run now, and the bugs reach us, we will all die!" God's Retribution shouted his case at Six Paths.

"You and I have to settle this fight. Not even God himself can stop us from finishing this," Six Paths said coldly, as his sword continued to swing wildly.

"Sh*t! Meeting this nutcase was so unlucky!" God's Retribution shouted out loud. Then he turned to shout at Han Sen. "Find a way to get rid of this madman! If you don't, we won't be able to run away. These bugs claim they ate God's dead body. I can't confirm the validity of the tale, but whatever the case may be, they can assuredly eat us!"

"How can I stop him?" Han Sen turned around, ready to run. If God's Corpse Bugs claimed they ate the remains of God, they must have been powerful to some degree. Han Sen didn't want to risk finding out whether or not they could eat him.

"That's why I asked you to think of a way. I want to live. I don't want to die here, alongside this madman!" God's Retribution shouted.

Han Sen noticed that the bugs weren't traveling at a very alarming pace. They weren't a direct threat—not yet. God's Retribution and Six Paths were ahead, though. If the bugs attacked, they would go after those two first.

"Six Paths, if you want to fight him, at least make it so that he wants to fight with you. Right now, he obviously doesn't. So, for the time being, perhaps you should let him go?" Han Sen said, hoping it would help the situation. Then, he hopped onto Starsea Beast to make his escape.

They crossed a distance of ten miles before looking back, and when Han Sen did, he saw Six Paths and God's Retribution following from behind. They were actually running faster than Starsea Beast, and they shot right past him.

Han Sen turned his head and his face changed. The legion of God's Corpse Bugs looked like a rush of blood, and they were coming extremely quickly. They weren't slow like before.

Not long after, the bugs had closed the gap to a mere mile. They were racing for him like a raging river.

The bugs, as they skittered across the snow, were silent. They did not make a sound.

Han Sen was ready to get off Starsea Beast's back, as it was slower than the bugs. He had to find another way to gain a lead on them.

But Starsea Beast's body suddenly exploded with an array of stars. Stars formed across its skin and encompassed the atmosphere around it. Then, Starsea Beast's speed increased. It was like traveling through hyperspace, as the world around them became nothing but a blur.

Starsea Beast's body looked like a shadow, and amidst the rain of stars, it was headed right for the side of a glacier.

"Sh*t, Little Star! Is your head broken? Are you going to commit suicide?" Han Sen's face changed, and in a blink, Starsea Beast ran right into the glacier.

Han Sen was shocked. Starsea Beast, with the stars all around, had blinked right through it.

Amidst the starlight, Starsea Beast did not slow down. They traveled through the entire glacier, managing to emerge safely on the other side. The bugs came quickly, but they had to skitter around the glacier to resume the chase. This slowed them down by a considerable amount.

Starsea Beast relentlessly went forward, ignoring the presence of any glaciers that might have been in his way. They were able to avoid the bugs and even gain a lead on Six Paths and God's Retribution.

A strange look appeared on God's Retribution's face when he saw Starsea Beast. He shamelessly approached Han Sen and leaped upon the creature's back.

"Haha! Give me a ride." God's Retribution laughed.

Six Paths quietly came to take a seat on Starsea Beast's back, as well.

"Bro, your pet is pretty good. It can go through physical objects. This ability is pretty gnarly." God's Retribution gave a thumbs up, seeing Starsea Beast proceed through another glacier.

"It's not a pet! It's a creature from my collection." He raised Starsea Beast like a human child, but he hadn't been able to teach it a new language with any success.

It was smart and docile. It never really seemed to display much aggression.

Starsea Beast traveled for half a day, and when the bugs were gone from sight, Han Sen brought the ride to a stop.

"Little Star, good job!" Han Sen patted Starsea Beast's head and complimented him.

He didn't know Starsea Beast had those abilities until now. He thought it was awesome.

When Han Sen had tried to teach Starsea Beast language and other skills, Han Sen had always assumed it to be an underperforming creature. But this latest act was worthy of compliments, which made Starsea Beast happy. The creature knew it had done well.

Han Sen now realized that trying to teach it language and knowledge was too harsh for the creature.

God's Retribution and Six Paths jumped off the back of Starsea Beast and took a look around. Although they were still someplace amidst the glacier mountains, the ice around them was now sprinkled with colored flowers from every spectrum of the rainbow.

"Oh, no! Why are we here?" God's Retribution's face changed after looking around.

Chapter 1533: The Chimenea That Went By

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Is there a problem with this place?" Han Sen frowned as he looked around. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

God's Retribution looked serious when he spoke next. He said, "It's more than just a problem. It's a big problem! I have been to this area before, and these flowers are frightening things. You'd do well to avoid touching them."

"The flowers are strange, that's for sure. They are very vibrant, but they lack a lifeforce," Six Paths chimed in, as he looked at the colorful flowers all around.

"What happens if I touch them?" Han Sen asked.

God's Retribution laughed and said, "I accidentally touched a red one once. I had to cut off my finger to save my life. If you want to give it a try, be my guest."

Han Sen looked at the man's hands and noticed he had all his fingers intact. Perhaps the missing finger had regrown, but he couldn't know for sure. And that meant he didn't know if God's Retribution was lying or not.

But to remain on the safe side, Han Sen followed the man's advice and avoided interaction with the flowers.

"It would be best for your pet, Little Star, to take us away from here. He can avoid touching these flowers, so he won't be affected," God's Retribution said.

Han Sen nodded. That would be the only way. There weren't many flowers, but Little Star was huge, and he might have touched them if he walked normally.

Everyone climbed atop Starsea Beast again, and Han Sen asked God's Retribution, "So, you have been here before? Which way should we go to leave this place?"

"I have come to this place, but I've never been to this spot precisely. I have no clue, either." God's Retribution shrugged.

Six Paths remained silent, but he didn't know this place either. Six Paths was a born-emperor, and he couldn't have come inside before. This was his first time here, as well.

"Then we will have to try our luck then, won't we?" Han Sen randomly selected a direction and allowed Starsea Beast to take them forward.

Amidst the starlight, Han Sen traveled between, across, and beyond the glaciers and flowers. Nothing was able to touch them, so they weren't in any danger. But as they walked, they felt something was wrong. When they went past the next glacier, they saw a whole host more flowers.

"I think you've selected the wrong direction. There are more flowers here than ever. We're just going deeper into the meadow!" God's Retribution said.

"I told you I was guessing. If you don't like this direction, then how about you choose a way?" Han Sen shrugged.

"That way." God's Retribution pointed out the direction he wished to travel in.

Han Sen made Starsea Beast head in that direction, but after some time, Han Sen noticed the number of flowers had actually increased. They still seemed to be going deeper.

"Go back! We can't go any further here. There are too many of the flowers," Little Fairy said.

At the same time, Starsea Beast's starlight began to dim. Its body was going back into a solid state.

Han Sen checked the creature's body and noticed its lifeforce was much weaker. Traveling that way must have cost it a lot of energy, and it wouldn't last much longer.

Han Sen let Starsea Beast rest in a place that had no flowers.

"It'll be difficult for us to return," God's Retribution said, while panning the area.

Aside from the basketball court-sized patch they were in, the flowers covered every inch of ground that they could see.

Unless they could fly through the sky, he did not know how else the flowers could be avoided. Starsea Beast's body was so big that without its special traveling skill, it'd end up touching each and every flower, after all.

Han Sen considered flying, but he saw some strange clouds in the sky above. It made him have second thoughts about that idea.

Little Fairy had already told him he couldn't fly too high while in the ruins, too. He most certainly couldn't go much higher than the glaciers. If he did, the clouds would unleash a strange power. It was a force that had killed many creatures in the past.

Han Sen thought about what he should do next. But suddenly, they saw a few shadows in the sky. Eleven of the Black Seahorses were flying by. They were pulling the same black chimenea behind them. Its snout flickered with the presence of blue flames, and it looked as weird as ever.

"What is this?" God's Retribution hadn't seen those Black Seahorses before, so he frowned.

Six Paths looked at the Black Seahorses in the sky and then appeared to think of something.

Han Sen had seen them only once before, but he had no clue what they were doing or what they might have been after.

They did appear slightly different than they had the last time Han Sen encountered them, though. That was because there were only Black Seahorses this time. There were no other Ice Seahorses around. Perhaps something had occurred, and they remained in the Frozen Forest.

"They can fly in the sky? If they can, I can do it, too. Let's try flying away." God's Retribution made a decision, seeing the Black Seahorses flying above.

Han Sen wasn't that hopeful, though. He shook his head. "You can try it, but I'll stay here and wait for Little Star to recover."

God's Retribution wanted to move, but he too decided to stay. He couldn't truly fly, as his ability was more akin to jumping very high.

The eleven Black Seahorses, pulling the black chimenea, eventually disappeared from sight.

Six Paths had been frowning at them the entire time, and it seemed as if he knew thing or two about them.

"Six Paths, do you know anything about the Black Seahorses and their chimenea?" Han Sen asked. He wasn't blind, so he knew Six Paths knew something.

Six Paths maintained his silence for a little while longer, before asking, "Have you heard about the big fight of the Fourth God's Sanctuary? The fight was huge, and many elites participated. Emperors and berserk super creatures abounded in it."

"I heard the super elites signed a Hundred Tribe Deal. Was it a result of this fight?" Han Sen asked.

Six Paths nodded. "It was, but I wasn't born yet. I don't know the details all too well, but one berserk super creature who took part said they were fighting over a relic. Most of the spirits had never seen or heard about it, but they were dragged into the conflict by family or friends."

No one said anything. They merely allowed Six Paths to continue, as they knew he wouldn't bring up the story for no reason.

After a brief pause, Six Paths said, "I knew that berserk super creature. He was one of the creatures that managed to steal the relic itself. It was said to be that black chimenea."

Everyone was shocked, and they all exclaimed, "Surely it cannot be the one we just saw."

Chapter 1534: Destiny's Tower

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Is that the big chimenea?" Little Fairy looked in the direction that the chimenea had flown.

Six Paths thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. What it looked like was never described, but I'm sure there was never a mention of blue flames or a number of Black Seahorses dragging it around."

"So, was it that relic or not?" Little Fairy frowned.

"No matter what it is, it has little to do with us. So many elites have come here to retrieve it, but none ever do. It'll be just as impossible for us to get it," God's Retribution said.

"I suppose. But we should still figure out how to get out of here." Han Sen was not very interested in the chimenea.

They hadn't gotten remotely close to the object in the Frozen Forest, but the frosty air in its proximity had still almost killed them. Han Sen thought the Black Seahorses were scary, and he agreed with what God's Retribution had said. Even though so many elites wanted to come and get it, it didn't mean it was something any of them could have.

The ice around them possessed so many flowers. They exuded no smell, and there were no bees flying around them. And while they were beautiful to look at, there was an undeniable strangeness to them.

The flowers had no lifeforce, and while the sea of flowers was beautiful to look at, staring at them too long was unsettling.

Han Sen walked closer to them to examine a yellow flower. The stalk was very clear, and there was no denying its authenticity. It had to be a real flower, and it was in no way fake.

"You guys should take a look at this." God's Retribution had seen something, and he pointed towards a mountain.

Halfway up an ice mountain, Han Sen espied the presence of a building that was half-invisible. It was made from white metal, which made it difficult to discern amidst the ice. They had been too focused on the flowers to notice it any sooner.

"That place looks really strange. It can't be where the relic is, can it?" Little Fairy's eyes opened wide.

"It's possible," God's Retribution agreed.

"You said you knew where the relic was," Han Sen said to God's Retribution. He had lied about the relic to Han Sen once already.

God's Retribution did not feel embarrassed about this, though. He just smiled and said, "The relic? The relic is a mystery! It can be here. It can be there."

Han Sen wasn't in the mood to debate with the man, so he just continued to peer at the white metal building.

The ice mountain was not too far from their current location. Han Sen could discern the shape of the white metal building, but he was still only able to see one side of it from where he was.

Over the building's door was a tablet, and upon the tablet was the word destiny. It was something Han Sen thought was very familiar. He had seen another tablet similar to that one, possessing the same word destiny, too.

"Does this place have something to do with that tablet?" Han Sen was shocked.

Somehow, the tablet had been destroyed by someone or something, and bits of it had been scattered across the different sanctuaries. This was something known only to Han Sen.

The tablet was incredibly hardy, and try as he might, not even Han Sen had been able to deal it a speck of damage. For it to have been chopped into many pieces like this was crazy. One piece had even ended up inside the Valley of Time. It was all so very weird.

Suddenly, he was seeing another piece of the tablet. And this was attached to a building. It made him think, "This place is God's Ruin. Does that mean the tablet is related to the sanctuary's god?"

"There are many flowers between us and there, but we should be safe as long as we don't touch them. Let's go take a look at that metal tower," God's Retribution suggested.

Everyone had a brief discussion about the notion, and they eventually decided on leaving Little Silver behind with Starsea Beast while the rest went to check it out.

Starsea Beast's body had not yet recovered, so it might be risky for it to go. It couldn't protect itself if danger arose.

Furthermore, it was too big. There were so many flowers, and who knew what would happen to the creature if it stepped on one.

Han Sen left Little Silver behind because if something bad was to happen to Starsea Beast, Little Silver could protect him.

After their discussion was done, everyone carefully traversed the meadow of flowers, headed in the direction of the white tower. There were so many flowers, but thankfully, there were a few empty patches. Overall, it wasn't all that dangerous.

And without trouble rearing its head, they soon arrived safely before the white tower.

When they got close, they saw the tower was huge. There were only seven floors, but each one of them was at least a hundred meters tall. The door itself was twenty meters high. The tablet over the door, as they had seen, had the word destiny on it. When Han Sen looked closer, he could even tell the word had been written in the same handwriting.

The tower was octagonal in shape, and each corner possessed a metal bell. They walked around it for a bit, but eventually, God's Retribution frowned and said, "This tower is strange. Aside from the tablet, there's not a single carving. There aren't even any paintings or beast statues. There's nothing. It doesn't… suit the tower at all. It's almost as if this construct was built elsewhere, and simply moved all the way out here."

Six Paths nodded and said, "Yes. This tower wasn't built here."

"Will the relic be found someplace inside the tower?" Little Fairy asked.

No one answered her because no one knew anything about the tower. They surely wouldn't know what it contained.

"Do you want to take a look?" God's Retribution pushed the door open as he spoke. He was just trying, and he didn't expect the twenty-meter-tall door to actually open with such ease.

God's Retribution was frozen. In disbelief, he muttered, "It really opened."

Everyone looked through the doorframe and noticed that the room inside was empty. Aside from a single statue, there was nothing else there.

The statue was weird. It wasn't of a Buddha, Fairy, God, or anything. Not even Jesus. The statue had a body, but it was missing a head.

It was like a headless corpse, just sitting there. Who destroyed it, they did not know.

Six Paths and God's Retribution noticed the absence of danger, and so they decided to walk in. Han Sen brought Bao'er with him, and when they entered the tower, Han Sen was quickly given a shock.

Through the doorframe, Han Sen saw the place was indeed quite empty. But after entering, he saw words scrawled into the walls. The content of the writing made Han Sen surprised.

Chapter 1535: Eastern King Was Here

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The text Han Sen saw across the tower was in a human language, but he was too lazy to think about that. The content spoke about the Blood-Pulse Sutra. This surprised him, though.

The text didn't concern itself with the main parts of the Blood-Pulse Sutra, and neither was there anything applying to Life Door. But when Han Sen read it, he noticed it was a secret method that could trigger a hidden power of the blood. It was similar to the shura triggering their Shura Change.

Those who hadn't studied the Blood-Pulse Sutra would believe the text upon the wall made no sense, but Han Sen and God's Retribution ended up looking at each other in shock.

"Does this place have a connection to the Blood Legion creator, the Human Emperor?" Han Sen was merely guessing, as he tried to remember each and every word and sear them into his memory.

Little Fairy was spinning around in circles on the first floor. The broken statue and the text meant nothing to her, and she was eager to proceed. She went ahead to the second floor.

She followed a staircase that led up, and when she reached the top, she was surprised to see that the room was completely empty. There was neither a statue nor text. It was as if a thief had just visited.

"Why is there nothing? Has someone already been here and taken all the good stuff away?" After that, she went ahead to the third floor.

Everyone followed after her, and just like the second floor, there was nothing at all there, either.

"It looks like someone's been here before us. Something ought to have been here, but it looks like it's been taken," Six Paths said, as he walked around.

"That means there won't be a relic to find here. If the relic was taken, then that also means the ruin will have lost the power to protect itself," God's Retribution said.

Little Fairy was disappointed. She thought the relic might have been there. But there was nothing to be found. No relic, nothing.

"Well, since we're here, we might as well proceed to the top." Han Sen held Bao'er and went ahead.

"Yes. Maybe not everything has been removed. There very well could be something left." Little Fairy maintained a smidgen of optimism.

They walked up a few more floors and noticed there was nothing more. The place was cleaner than it would have been if the tower's owner had hired a cleaning company.

After the repeated disappointment, Little Fairy had lost all hope of an interesting discovery. But nevertheless, they all went up to reach the seventh floor.

When they entered the seventh floor, though, everyone was frozen. It was not a shock of horror, though; it was a shock of joy.

The seventh floor wasn't empty. Many things surrounded them.

The seventh floor had seven stone pedestals, and each had an item upon it. There was a sword, a shield, a staff, a cauldron, a seed, gloves, and a vase. They all looked very special.

At the same time, they also noticed that the pedestals possessed a few words. The writing wasn't original, and it looked as if it had been done at a later time.

"Eastern King was here!"

The words were written with perfect symmetry across each pedestal, flawlessly. Even the exclamation mark.

Han Sen was frozen. Eastern King had been there before them, but the words he wrote sucked. It was like something the average traveler would write when leaving their name someplace.

Little Fairy wasn't in the mood to read, though. She flew straight over to the treasure, wishing to claim the items.

But swiftly, Han Sen grabbed her by her wings and held her back.

Little Fairy looked annoyed, and she asked, "What are you doing?"

Han Sen let her go and asked, "Eastern King might have taken everything on the lower floors. If he did that but left these here, don't you think that'd be a little strange?"

Little Fairy was feeling a mixture of disappointment and excitement. She had been so hyped, but after hearing what Han Sen had to say, she couldn't help but think there had to be a problem, too. She turned to look at the items again, but this time, stayed where she was.

"The way I see it, there are two possibilities. Firstly, Eastern King might have simply been nice. He took what he wanted but left the rest for others to claim. The chances of that happening are slim, though. The second possibility might be that he couldn't carry anything more with him," God's Retribution said.

Six Paths looked at one of the stone pedestals and said, "There is something wrong with the pedestals. There is something moving upon them. It is weak, but I am sure of it."

God's Retribution took out a stone from his pocket. Where he got it from, nobody knew; it looked to be an ordinary rock. He threw it at the cauldron.

Pang!

The rock did not hit the bronze cauldron. As soon as it came near the stone pedestal, the dimensions around it began to twist. The stone fell into a portal of sorts and disappeared.

When they looked at the pedestal again, the dimension was fixed. It looked as if nothing strange had transpired, at all.

"A Space-Vortex Shield?" Six Paths and God's Retribution frowned.

Han Sen's face looked dim. If the master of the tower had used that power on a stone pedestal, he must have been very powerful.

The tower's master hadn't just cast a dimension twist, either; he had created a vortex that lasted forever. It was something that far exceeded Han Sen's capabilities with Ghost Slash.

"Someone that strong exists? I wonder who he is. Might he be a god in the Fifth Sanctuary?" Six Paths looked at the pedestals and spoke to himself.

Even Six Paths Emperor believed the master of that place did not belong in the Fourth God's Sanctuary. For him to think that, it was easy to imagine how powerful that entity must have been.

"If such a strong power protects them, maybe they are the relics we seek. There are seven of them, too. So, there's at least one for each of us!" Little Fairy spoke with a renewed joy.

Everyone contemplated her words, wanting one of the items. But they simply didn't know how they might pass the space vortex to grab the gear.

Everyone was quiet as they thought; even Six Paths and God's Retribution were silent. They were looking at the items, thinking about how they might break the barrier.

Little Fairy was flying around as this occurred, not daring to get close. She was the weakest of the bunch, so if Six Paths or God's Retribution weren't willing to make a move just yet, she sure wasn't going to.

"I have a way we can try." After a time of silence elapsed, Six Paths spoke.

Chapter 1536: Secret Skill

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"And what method would that be?" Everyone turned to look at Six Paths. Little Fairy was the one who asked, desperate for a solution.

Six Paths said quietly, "The Space-Vortex Shield means there is a dimension beyond it. No matter how strong we are, we will be sucked inside. That is, unless we have the necessary power to break through space. If we don't have that power, we can't break through the barrier."

After pausing, Six Paths pointed at one of the pedestals and said, "These are different. If that king was able to leave text on them, that means they are not protected by the Space-Vortex Shield. If we get rid of them, perhaps it will be possible for us to deduce the blind spot of the shielding."

"Although there may not even be a blind spot, it is still worth a try. This is the only opportunity we might get," God's Retribution added.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's break those pedestals." Little Fairy had calmed down. She spoke quickly, but she wasn't actually in a great rush, and she didn't move.

Six Paths summoned his Six Paths Sword and pointed it towards the pedestal which carried the sword. Then he said, "If this works, I want this sword."

Six Paths then struck the pedestal. A metallic clang rang out. All his strike did was leave a white mark. Six Paths looked stunned, and the others all looked on in surprise.

They all knew how strong Six Paths was, and if his damage output could only render a white mark across the surface of the pedestal, it meant they had drastically underestimated the strength of the stone.

Six Paths stared down at the pedestal. The power across his body began to surge into a single spot—the tip of his sword. When he had gathered it all, he unleashed another swing.

This worked far better. He inflicted a half-decent mark across the pedestal. It was still rather shallow, though, and shallower than the inscriptions left by Eastern King.

"The rock is hard," God's Retribution couldn't help but say.

"This top surface of the pedestal is one meter in length. If we can't do any better than this, trying something else like drilling might work, but it would take us a long time." Six Paths frowned.

"Then how about we all take shifts, chipping away at one?" Han Sen said. "If we can end up getting the items inside, then it will be worth the time spent trying to extract them."

Everyone started to discuss the suggestion. In the end, they settled on working in shifts to drill a hole into the pedestal from below. They really wanted to see if they could grab the items that were upon them.

The pedestals were hardy, but definitely diggable. They dug into them nice and slow, and after a few days, they managed to dig a hole far enough to allow them to reach the treasure. ( NovelFull )

But, to their mild disappointment, the relics were still on the surface. The shielding vortex was wide, and it still prohibited them from reaching in and grabbing what they had worked for.

"It is no wonder Eastern King didn't bother taking these items. Unless he was able to break through space, he wouldn't have been able to grab them." God's Retribution sounded extremely disappointed.

Han Sen knew it would be difficult to break space. He'd only be able to do it if he was like Dongxuan Zi, who really could break through space and punch a hole into an entirely different world. If they could do that, they could grab the items.

The treasure was in front of them, teasingly. And yet, none of them had the required strength to nab it.

The treasure might not have been obtainable, but at least Han Sen had earned something out of the affair. He recalled the Blood-Pulse Sutra's secret technique, and after giving it a go, he realized he could practice with it.

Han Sen returned to Starsea Beast and Little Silver each and every day to check on the pair and see if they were fine. God's Retribution took the opportunity to leave the white tower with him, as well.

"Bro, did you practice the secret scrawled upon the wall?" God's Retribution asked Han Sen in a hushed voice when nobody was around.

"Not yet. Why? What's wrong?" Han Sen knew the man wouldn't randomly ask him about this. Something had to be up.

God's Retribution went on to say, "You can tell that the secret skill written on the wall is related to our Blood-Pulse Sutra. I think this white tower is connected to Blood Legion. This skill might be the key to grabbing the loot. But when I practice it, I have no synergy or reaction with it. Maybe I'm doing it incorrectly, I don't know. But I just figured I should ask you."

When Han Sen heard what he said, he thought to himself, How is this happening? Can God's Retribution really not practice this? This is a skill that is connected to the Blood-Pulse Sutra. Blood Legion members must be able to learn it. And if he really can't, then how am I able to? The only possibility that I can think of is that maybe God's Retribution did not practice Life Door. He didn't activate the breakthrough and learn it in its complete form.

That option seemed to make the most sense.

"You are a member of Blood Legion, so if you can't learn it, I definitely cannot." Han Sen shook his head.

God's Retribution thought that was likely, too, but he still said, "You should still try practicing it, anyway. Perhaps there's something wrong with me or something."

Han Sen pretended to agree, and in two days, he was going to tell God's Retribution that he had achieved no reaction with what was written on the walls.

If the skill was the key for obtaining the items, there was definitely no chance Han Sen was going to admit he had learned it. If someone from Blood Legion found out that an outsider was able to learn their secret skills, but an actual member could not, it would direct a lot of ire and jealousy his way. Plus, it really could have been the key to obtaining the items.

Han Sen did not want to leave his fate up to God's Retribution's kindness. So, he couldn't admit to the man that he had success with the secret skill.

Of course, God's Retribution might have been just acting, too. Perhaps he was able to practice it, and he was just pretending so he could snag all the treasure for himself.

Han Sen went to the place where Little Silver and Starsea Beast were. Starsea Beast was lying down, simply staring at the tower. Seeing Han Sen come near, it stood up happily and ran over to him. Its big tongue licked him across the face.

"How many times have I told you? You can't greet people with your tongue." Han Sen had taught Starsea Beast the many manners of humans, but the creature was still unable to deny its nature.

Starsea Beast had recovered now, and although Han Sen had learned the basic nature of the skill, it was not something he could fully accomplish in two days. So, he planned to leave the place and return when he had mastered the technique.

Chapter 1537: Godlight Tunnel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Because they were unable to nab the treasure inside, Six Paths and God's Retribution also planned on leaving. Little Fairy did, too, despite her reluctance to abandon the treasure.

Just in case they got lost again, Han Sen allowed Starsea Beast to guide them back to where they had been before they encountered the flowers.

Starsea Beast went back through the glacier mountains, returning to where they came from, back when they first saw the God's Corpse Bugs. Fortunately, there were no more of the creatures to be seen. Perhaps they returned to the ice.

"It's safe now. I should go. Whoever gets the treasure, it'll be done so through their own work." God's Retribution quickly took his leave.

Han Sen thought it was suspicious he left. It made him wonder whether or not the man could practice the secret skill.

But that had to be impossible. Even if he was able to practice it, without Starsea Beast's powers, it would be very difficult to return to the tower.

After all, Starsea Beast went there in a straight line. God's Retribution would have to traverse many mountains if he did not have a creature like that. Walking back to the tower would take a very long time, provided he could even relocate it once again.

Six Paths also bid his departure. They usually preferred working alone, and they were never very fond of sharing treasure with others. Han Sen decided to let Starsea Beast rest for a while so it could recover its energy. Then, they resumed their journey to the Godlight Tunnel.

There were many strange places in God's Ruin, but very few creatures. Aside from the God's Corpse Bugs and the Ice Seahorses, they hadn't seen anything else.

"There's a rocky mountain up ahead. This has to be right. This is where the tunnel is!" Little Fairy, who was up front, began to shout excitedly.

Han Sen was sitting on Little Star's back. He looked forward and saw a few grey mountains resting between two glaciers. It looked to be where the tunnel was said to reside.

Starsea Beast moved his legs quickly in a frantic rush to get there. But before they could reach that rocky mountain, they encountered many creatures.

Han Sen looked at them all closely, and that was when he froze. He had managed to catch sight of the angelic-looking woman and the cheap dog that was her pet.

As he continued to look around, Han Sen also caught sight of Yu Miao and Yu Xuan. It looked as if they had brought companions along with them, to keep them protected in their journey to God's Ruin.

Much to his surprise, Han Sen saw another familiar face aside from Yu Miao and Goddess. It was Little Jade Lion King; the creature he had met in the geno core storage on more than one occasion.

They weren't very strong, but the biggest problem was the sheer number of gemstone class creatures they had brought with them. They were all as strong as Goddess and Yu Miao herself.

The reactions and facial expressions of each of them were different when they saw Han Sen.

Yu Miao and Goddess frowned, not expecting to see him there. Little Jade Lion King didn't think much of him, as he had yet to realize that Han Sen was the owner of Crystal Core.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Xuan asked Han Sen.

He thought Han Sen's soul was damaged beyond repair, so he didn't take the human seriously.

"I'm here for the Godlight Tunnel. I don't see another reason why I'd have come." Han Sen squinted his eyes, examining each of the creatures around him.

They had a few dozen spirits and creatures following them. Han Sen calculated whether or not he could destroy them all and kill his favored targets: Goddess, the dog, Yu Miao, and Yu Xuan.

Goddess and her dog would his primary targets. They were both creatures, too; if they died, they died.

If Han Sen killed Yu Miao and Yu Xuan, they'd respawn. But murdering them would still feel good, even if it wasn't permanent.

Han Sen looked at the creatures behind Goddess, and that was when he saw a familiar human face. It gave him a shock.

"Why is she here?" Han Sen saw Queen Huangfu Jing.

When he returned to the Alliance, he had learned Queen was a demi-god. But she herself never returned to the Alliance, so he wondered what might have happened to her.

He would never have guessed that Queen had ended up in Sacred Shelter with Goddess and was now accompanying her to God's Ruin.

Queen recognized Han Sen, but she didn't show any expression of it. Perhaps she didn't want to cause any trouble by showing it.

Han Sen didn't know if Queen was trapped by a contract or not, so he didn't show he recognized her, either. He didn't want them to hold her hostage and use her to threaten him.

Even more surprising, when he looked even further into the lot there, he saw someone else he recognized. It was Tang Zhenliu. He was standing behind a spirit that was behind Yu Miao.

They were both the same. They held their acknowledgments to avoid causing a scene, but they were definitely worried.

Yu Miao, having just been insulted by Han Sen, looked grim. He responded unpleasantly, "Do you think the Godlight Tunnel is a place just anyone can enter, if they so please? Outer Sky owns it now. Give me a gemstone geno core, if you want to enter."

Before Han Sen replied, Little Jade Lion said, "What do you mean the tunnel is owned by Outer Sky? This is ours! It belongs to Lion Mountain."

"What are you both talking about? Sacred is the true master of the Godlight Tunnel. Gods are sacred, and so are we!" The cheap dog next to Goddess muttered.

Now Han Sen knew why they were all stuck on the outside, with none having entered. That was because each of the three factions wanted to assert ownership and start a tollbooth.

Around the mountain, there were a number of other creatures and spirits watching. They didn't belong to any renowned faction, just like Han Sen. Most seemed to have come in a party of three or so.

"You guys are so selfish. You want to claim the Godlight Tunnel for yourselves? Aren't you afraid of offending the countless spirits and creatures that simply want access?" A lone spirit spoke in an annoyed tone, having been prohibited entry.

"If you don't agree with me, then perhaps you'd like to taste my Lionheart Stamp? If you can withstand a stamping, I'll let you in." Little Jade Lion was not afraid, and he went ahead to summon his Lionheart Stamp geno core.

Han Sen, when seeing the geno core, frowned. It was not his self geno core. It was very powerful, and it was definitely super class.

Now, Han Sen knew that anyone could bring a super geno core in, as long as it wasn't their self geno core. You wouldn't be allowed in if your self geno core was super.

It seemed that the lion wasn't the only one playing by these rules, either. Goddess and Yu Miao must have brought supers of their own, too.

Chapter 1538: Super Geno Core Battle

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The spirit, seeing the lion's stamp, looked frightened. He didn't say anything more, and simply turned around to take his leave.

The other spirits and creatures remained where they were, but they didn't say anything. They still wanted to get into the Godlight Tunnel, but they were curious as to how things might develop first.

After thinking for a minute, Han Sen decided to leave, too. He wanted to see how things went, as well. Waiting until the three factions had fought amongst themselves and then picking off the survivors would be better than going up against all of them at once.

Yu Xuan, seeing Han Sen leave, grunted and said nothing more.

Tang Zhenliu was currently quite depressed. He had been having quite the streak of bad luck. When he entered the Fourth God's Sanctuary, although he managed to survive, he was captured by spirits from Outer Sky Shelter and forced to sign a contract.

He couldn't return to the Alliance, and he had to risk his life frequently, despite only possessing a bronze geno core. And since the spirit he had signed a contract with decided to join the mission to God's Ruin, he had to tag along, too.

He was very happy to see Han Sen was actually still alive, but after being captured by a big faction like Outer Sky, he didn't think Han Sen could save him.

"It's so sad. I couldn't catch up to Han Sen, despite having a ten-year headstart, and what's more, I haven't even been able to determine my own fate." Tang Zhenliu sighed.

Queen and Tang Zhenliu were in the same situation as each other, but Queen wasn't too concerned. She stood behind Goddess, waiting for her moment to come. She was very confident in Han Sen, and she earnestly believed he would save her and get her free.

Han Sen then watched the three factions get into a fight outside the tunnel, and he made sure to watch from a distance. He was thinking about how he could save both of his human friends, more than anything.

"If they haven't signed contracts, this will be easy. If they have, it'll be annoying," Han Sen thought to himself.

"Don't waste time! The ruin is only open for a limited amount of time. Lion Mountain will control this tunnel, so just go elsewhere." Little Jade Lion spoke with a cocky confidence. ( NovelFull )

Although he only had a silver self geno core, because of White Lion King, he wasn't afraid of Outer Sky or Sacred.

"Little Lion King, Outer Sky will leave, but only on one condition," Yu Miao suddenly said to the lion.

Little Jade Lion replied, "If it's on a ridiculous condition, then no thank you. But go ahead and feel free to let me know."

"It's not ridiculous. If Outer Sky does not fight for your tunnel, you must let us enter the tunnel freely, without taking our geno cores," Yu Miao said.

"Sister, how could you…" Yu Xuan sounded nervous. Ownership of the Godlight Tunnel might have been the biggest potential gain of the entire God's Ruin. Yu Miao, by proposing such a deal, would let them lose a lot.

Yu Miao waved her hand to stop him from talking, and she did not mention any further conditions.

"Okay, I promise you Outer Sky spirits can enter the tunnel." Little Lion King, hearing Yu Miao say this, immediately agreed.

"Okay, then." Yu Miao waved her hand and brought the Outer Sky followers along with her into the tunnel's entrance.

"Sister, if you leave like that, we cannot get anything!" Yu Xuan said to Yu Miao.

"What's the rush? Goddess is still there. They won't back off, and there'll be a big fight. Determining the victor won't be easy," Yu Miao said calmly.

"What if Goddess doesn't fight?" Yu Xuan asked with worry.

"Impossible. With Goddess' personality being what it is, she won't back off," Yu Miao spoke with unwavering confidence.

The black dog, seeing Outer Sky leave, lowered his voice and said to Goddess, "Miss, that Yu Miao is so evil. She must be waiting until we fight Lion King, and we're injured. What should we do? Should we go back, in case they take advantage of us?"

"That won't be necessary. Yu Miao thinks she has tricked us, but in fact, she has provided us with an opportunity. If we beat Lion King, we can claim the entrance to Godlight Tunnel." Goddess stared at Lion King as she spoke.

"The little lion is young, but the Lionheart Stamp is a powerful super geno core. With those spirits guarding him, he will be as strong as us. I don't think things will be as easy as you seem to believe." The black dog looked worried.

"If things were easy, Yu Miao wouldn't have given us this chance," Goddess said, and then walked close to the Lion King.

"Goddess, my father and your father are friends. You can leave now, and if you do, I won't fight you." Little Lion King continued to speak with pride.

Goddess smiled. "Sacred's relationship with Lion Mountain has been good, but you are too naive if you think we are actually going to give up."

"Lion Mountain has its own strength. Its relationships aren't necessary. Are you saying you'll fight me for the Godlight Tunnel?" Little Jade Lion seemed upset.

"We have to fight, but there's no need to harm our relationship and allow others to gain an advantage," Goddess said while looking at Yu Miao, who was in the midst of leaving.

Little Jade Lion was boisterous, but he wasn't stupid. He knew Yu Miao was simply hoping to take advantage.

"Then what do you suggest?" Little Jade Lion asked Goddess.

"How about we fight? If you lose, you leave. We can avoid loss, and we can avoid being taken advantage of," Goddess said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You are gemstone and I am only silver. Why would I even think about fighting you?" Little Lion King smirked. He was not interested in her proposed deal.

Goddess then said, "We only battle with non-self geno cores. We won't be relegated to fighting with our actual power. You did bring Lionheart Stamp with you, yes? We have the God Ring. Do you think Lionheart Stamp can resist the God Ring?"

"Really? Only fighting with geno cores?" Little Jade Lion looked confused, unsure of what she was thinking.

Little Lion's Lionheart Stamp and Goddess' God Ring were not their self geno cores. The combatants' personal power would not affect the fight. There had once been an event between the two shelters, and it proved that God Ring was actually weaker than Lionheart Stamp, but now she was willingly going to use something that was weaker. Little Lion King wasn't sure what she was up to.

But he was confident in his stamp. He didn't see a reason why he should reject the fight, and if he didn't accept, he'd simply look weak. People might think he was afraid.

"Okay, then. Lionheart Stamp versus God's Ring. Whoever loses will leave Godlight Tunnel alone." Little Jade Lion wasn't dumb. He said this out loud, so all could hear which geno cores were to be used. He didn't want her summoning another.

Goddess smiled and summoned God Ring. It seemed as if she wasn't playing around.

Little Jade Lion saw that Goddess really was going to use God Ring to fight the Lionheart Stamp, and when he did, he felt far more secure.

"Sister, what is Goddess doing? God Ring used to lose against Lionheart Stamp. Does that mean she is going to lose again? If that's the case, then the lion really is going to claim the tunnel," Yu Xuan said.

Yu Miao frowned and said, "Goddess must have a trick up her sleeve. That naive Little Lion is going to lose."

As they both spoke, God Ring and Lionheart Stamp engaged in battle.

Lionheart had been left behind by a super lion on Lion Mountain. It was one of the famous super geno cores of the place. One side of its shape possessed a gold lion head, which had a number of strange symbols upon it. In the language of lions, they merged together to form the word heart.

Lionheart Stamp was incredibly powerful, and its stamping ability was capable of suppressing everything. A weak super creature would easily find itself crushed beneath the weight of Lionheart's demi-god body. It was quite a frightening item.

God Ring had been left behind by one of Goddess' elders. It was shaped like a halo, and it even possessed a holy-like light. Creatures that came into contact with it would have their lifeforce absorbed. It was a very powerful super geno core.

The Lionheart Stamp was shining gold towards God Ring, while God Ring shone a holy-like light back at Lionheart Stamp. Lionheart Stamp's gold light soon started to suppress the God Ring's light, making it clear that it wouldn't take long for Goddess to lose.

Han Sen found it interesting to observe. He was a good distance away from the super geno cores, but he could still feel the earthy rumble of the combat. Due to the amount of power colliding, it put stress on the glaciers and began to break them. Everything within a few klicks was utterly destroyed. ( NovelFull )

This was taking place inside God Ruin, thankfully. If this was happening outside, entire mountains would have been sundered.

"There's such strength in these cores, but strangely, they're no better than my God geno core. I don't know if they have any others that are better, but if they don't, I can definitely strike." Han Sen's eyes shone while he thought.

Seeing Lionheart Stamp's gold light crush and diminish the light exuded by God Ring, it was evident its enemy wasn't going to last very long.

Lionheart Stamp's gold stamp was preparing to deal a final blow and crush the ring for good. If it was stamped, it had no hope of withstanding the force, and it would shatter.

Little Jade Lion was feeling very cocky now, but when Lionheart Stamp decided to drop down on God Ring, he suddenly saw the holy light increase in volume. It shone brightly to absorb its bully, and in a flash, Lionheart Stamp disappeared into the blinding light.

When the light dimmed again, the white halo ring had grown smaller to tighten itself around Lionheart Stamp like a constrictive band. Lionheart Stamp's gold light had also been extinguished in the grip of the ring.

Goddess held out her hand, and shortly after, God Ring landed in her palm with the shrunken Lionheart Stamp inside it.

"How is that possible?" Little Jade Lion's face changed, and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He could not believe Lionheart Stamp had been taken away from him by God Ring.

Lionheart Stamp had gone up against God Ring a few times in the past, and not once had God Ring won before. It had constantly ranked below Lionheart Stamp, as well. But suddenly, it had been given the necessary power to constrict and lock-up Lionheart Stamp. It was an act Little Jade Lion struggled to believe he was seeing.

"How is that possible? Surely that cannot be God Ring. How can God Ring possess enough power to snare Lionheart Stamp?" Yu Xuan was shocked, too. He couldn't believe Goddess was holding the ring with Lionheart Stamp trapped inside.

"That is God Ring, yes, but it is the complete version." Yu Miao spoke with a serious tone.

"A complete version? Did it used to be damaged?" Yu Xuan looked at Yu Miao. He knew about God Ring, but he had never heard that it was damaged.

But Yu Miao shook her head and said, "It wasn't damaged, but the ring has a very special history."

Yu Miao paused for a minute, and then spoke again. "Goddess and her people are creatures, but they claim to be the heirs of a god. Whether that is true, I do not know, but their race does have many berserk super creatures. The most famous was undoubtedly God Lord of Sacred. Around the same time God Lord was among us, there was another powerful being in existence. It was a berserk super creature, and it was almost as famous as God Lord. Unfortunately, it lost in a pivotal battle and failed to become Sacred's leader."

"Was he the one that had God Ring?" Yu Xuan looked shocked.

Yu Miao nodded. "The power of the Protoss was special, and that was because half of their blood did not belong to them. Perhaps it came from their mother, but their powers were not purely Protoss. The berserk super geno cores, even if used by the Protoss, could not exert their full power. The powers displayed were no different than an average super geno core. And as time has gone on, few people remember that this is one such geno core. They have forgotten it is an actual berserk super geno core."

"You mean to say Goddess is able to use all its strength? Is she a pure Protoss? If others of her kind were unable to make use of its full power, how can she?" Yu Xuan was now looking Goddess with a disbelieving look.

Yu Miao shook her head. "I don't know, but that matters little right now. The important thing to know right now is that this puts us in a bad situation. I seriously hope the lion isn't as stubborn as his old man. Otherwise, there'll be no chance for us to take Godlight Tunnel."

Goddess took her ring and returned Lionheart Stamp to the lion. Then, she said, "Little Lion King, will you keep your promise?"

Little Jade Lion King took the stamp. His face had turned green, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything about breaking the deal.

"Little Lion King is no stranger to defeat. We can guard Godlight Tunnel together and reap the benefits ourselves," Yu Miao shouted out, from across the way.

"If I lose, I lose. This Godlight Tunnel has nothing to do with Lion Mountain anymore." Little Jade Lion gritted his teeth, then signaled those from Lion Mountain to vacate the area around the tunnel.

"Wait!" Before Little Lion King could leave, someone was heard shouting from beyond the valley.

Everyone looked over and saw the person shouting at Little Lion King was none other than Han Sen. They were shocked, and they did not know what he wanted.

Chapter 1540: Slaying the Black Back Dog

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen was approaching Little Lion King, prompting Yu Miao and Goddess to look at him. They were unsure of what he wanted.

Although Little Jade Lion was still young, Goddess and Yu Miao did not dare harm him. Goddess had taken his Lionheart Stamp, yes, but she made sure to give it back to him. They were all scared of incurring the wrath of White Lion King.

When Little Jade Lion's company saw Han Sen draw near, they looked to be quite alert. They all stared down at Han Sen angrily, as if they were ready to rip him to shreds.

"What are you doing?" Little Jade Lion wasn't in a good mood. He asked Han Sen the question coldly, and if the answer displeased him, he was ready to lunge at the human and rip him apart. It'd at least be an outlet for the anger he felt, after having lost the battle he just had.

"Don't you remember our deal?" Han Sen said.

He wanted to see if the Little Lion King would keep the promise he had made. If he did, he'd help the Little Lion King retake the Godlight Tunnel. If he did that, at least the creature would benefit in some way.

Han Sen did not have many people working for him, and if he took the Godlight Tunnel, he wouldn't have the numbers to safeguard it. If Han Sen could get Lion King's party on his side, it would be ideal.

If Little Lion did not keep the promise, though, it wasn't as if Han Sen would lose much. He saw the fight against Goddess, and if he had to fight the lion, he wasn't afraid of the prospect.

( NovelFull ) "It's you." Upon hearing Han Sen say this, Little Jade Lion King's face became distorted by shock.

He hadn't expected Crystal Core's master to be human, and he hadn't expected to see him there. He had no clue how to respond.

Yu Miao and Goddess saw Little Lion King's expression, and it made them frown. They didn't know anything about the deal between Han Sen and the Little Lion, or why it was important enough to make him react the way he was.

Han Sen stepped closer to Little Lion King, and the creatures behind began roaring at him. They were ready to rip him limb from limb.

"Stop." Little Jade Lion King's face looked weird, but he still brought his creatures to heel.

Han Sen walked in front of Little Jade Lion King and leaned near his ear to whisper, "You help me out in God's Ruin, and after that, you're off the hook. I won't own you."

Little Jade Lion King's mood was renewed with happiness. Just moments before, his heart had been knotted with contradictions. He didn't want to betray his dignity and obey a human as his master, but a deal was a deal. It wasn't as if he could have said no.

Now Han Sen had just told him he'd only want help in God's Ruin, Little Jade Lion was beaming with happiness. He said out loud, "No problem! If there's anything you need, just tell me. With me here, I'll give you my aid for everything."

Yu Miao and Goddess frowned, not having the faintest idea what Han Sen had said to the lion to make him behave in such a way.

Han Sen smiled. "I won't need much, but I will be taking Godlight Tunnel. And when it's taken, you and your people can protect it. From there, any findings we make can be shared half-and-half, as well."

"Okay," Little Lion King agreed. Although he felt that he wouldn't be of much help in claiming the tunnel, he'd still prefer this to being enslaved. So, he wasn't going to hesitate in his contribution.

"Little Lion King, are you going to go back on your word and disobey a promise?" Black Back Dog addressed Little Lion King with fury.

Little Lion King looked shocked, and he said, "I didn't break a promise. It won't be me fighting you. It's this guy that'll be doing that. It's his idea, and there's nothing I can do about that."

Yu Miao and Goddess heard what Little Lion King had to say, and they immediately looked confused. He used to do things as he pleased, but now Little Lion King seemed afraid of a human. They weren't quite sure what was happening.

Han Sen ignored the others and walked towards the entrance. Without delay, he was going to take the entry point of Godlight Tunnel.

This movement shocked even Little Lion King. Although he was cocky, he wouldn't ignore Goddess, surely. Clenching his jaw, he brought his troops forward to follow Han Sen.

Little Lion King hadn't expected Han Sen to want to start a fight, but Han Sen really wanted to kill Goddess and her dog. This would be the perfect opportunity for that.

When they stole the Starsea Orb, Han Sen was in his super king spirit mode. They didn't know it was Han Sen they had almost killed, but Han Sen remembered their cruelty without forgetting a single detail.

"F*ck! You're just a human, and yet you're being so arrogant! Do you really want to die?" Black Back Dog shouted angrily. The creatures of Sacred then ran forward to block the advance of Han Sen, Little Jade Lion King, and his entourage.

"Whoever gets in my way will die." Han Sen had a thirst for blood, so he didn't talk or negotiate any more than that. He shone with a red light, and then, the ruby wings spawned behind him.

The red light was like blood, and when Han Sen pulled out his Taia sword, he swung with wretched strength right across Black Back Dog with a flap of his wings.

Black Back Dog only had a gemstone geno core, and he hadn't expected a human would lash out at him so boldly. He hadn't prepared himself, so it was too late for him to dodge. He spat out some black light and tried to block Han Sen.

But the red light cut through the black light in his mouth, and the moment Han Sen flashed past the Black Back Dog, he whispered into his ears, "Remember the Starsea Orb?"

Black Back Dog's pupils went small. He looked at Han Sen, trying to figure out what he might have wanted, but Taia had already lopped his head clean off. The dog's head, with an expression of fear and confusion, rolled through the air. Everyone was frozen. It had happened too quickly for anyone to react.

No one had expected a human to kill a creature from Sacred like that. Goddess' eyes opened wide, and she too was frozen still. She couldn't believe Han Sen had killed her dear Black Back Dog.

Little Jade Lion King was frozen, too. He had not expected Han Sen to immediately start killing, and start with Black Back Dog, no less.

Black Back Dog's history was something special. It was a super creature's heir that had grown up by Goddess' side. It was a famous and renowned character of Sacred Shelter.

The scary thing was, it had been one-hit killed in a grisly fashion. It hadn't even been given the opportunity to fight back. The dog might have been reckless, but the human that killed him obviously had to be someone special, too.

Han Sen was in the air, still glowing red with his wings flapping. Everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.

"You are dead!" Goddess' eyes were filled with a murderous rage. Black Back Dog might have been a subordinate of hers, but he had become more than that over the years. They had grown up together.

Black Back Dog getting killed made her very angry. She couldn't hide the fact that she wanted to kill Han Sen now.

Chapter 1541: Strong Killing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Goddess' mind was still clear, despite her anger. She could feel that Han Sen's butterfly wings were emitting a horrible aura. It wasn't anything normal, and she could already guess it was most likely a super geno core he was using.

Goddess did not know where Han Sen's super geno core had come from, but she wasn't going to be careless. She pulled out her God Ring again and tried to capture Han Sen and bind him.

"Young Super Creature Black Back Dog killed. No beast soul gained. Geno Core unobtained. The flesh is edible. Collect the Life Geno Essence to gain zero-to-ten super geno points."

The announcement played in Han Sen's head, but he did not have the time to listen. The God Ring was coming for him.

Little Jade Lion King's mood was a little conflicted, at the moment. Although Lion Mountain was strong, Sacred wasn't weak. He didn't really want to fight Goddess; after all, it was why he had chosen to stall her earlier.

Now Goddess was mad, and many creatures lunged forward to engage with Han Sen at once. Little Jade Lion was of a split mind in what to do.

Ultimately, Little Jade Lion gritted his teeth and yelled to Goddess, "Goddess, stop this! Otherwise, I'll have to be cruel."

Goddess harshly responded, "This human is dead! It's none of your business, but if you choose to help him, I won't be letting you go again."

Little Jade Lion King saw that she was fully committed to murdering Han Sen, so he commanded his subordinates to move forward and do battle with the rest of Sacred's troops. He didn't fight, but he didn't stop Goddess directly, either.

Little Jade Lion didn't want this to go any bigger than it already had, so he thought he had discovered a way in which he could quell the madness.

Han Sen did not care much for anything else. He flapped his wings and evaded the incoming God Ring. He was flying directly towards Goddess.

"Is that guy really Han Sen? Why does he have a super geno core?" Yu Xuan couldn't believe that was Han Sen, and he thought the human looked like a god as he attacked.

Yu Miao looked at the battle with excitement. "It doesn't matter how or why he has a super geno core. Our chance to proceed has come. When Lion Mountain and Sacred are both injured, we can strike and claim the Godlight Tunnel for ourselves."

"Sh*t! Han Sen is really that strong? He killed a high-level creature of Sacred just like that! This is crazy." Tang Zhenliu was in shock at the spectacle.

Queen had been forced to fight Lion Mountain's creatures alongside her companions. Her eyes looked bright.

She became one of the early demi-gods of humanity, but she had been unlucky to end up in Sacred Shelter as the subordinate of creatures. Her leveling process had been extremely slow, and she had only managed to obtain a gold geno core.

Queen knew the Black Back Dog was strong, but Han Sen had managed to kill it with one strike. It showed her that Han Sen was again the best of the best, possibly out of everything and everyone in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

"He hasn't been heard from in ten years. I didn't know he had actually come so far." Queen sighed.

By using time and space in her movements, she put on the show of fighting, more than anything. She disappeared and jumped around a lot, not really engaging them. Above all, she wanted to focus on watching how Han Sen battled Goddess.

Goddess saw Han Sen dodge the ring and come for her, but she wasn't afraid. She summoned a short sword and swung it towards him.

The short sword was black, and when she swung it, it emitted a black light, as if it was tearing a veil through space.

"Split-Knife? Goddess brought out her Split-Knife! The Sacred master must be very fond of her." Yu Miao sounded jealous.

Split-Knife was a famous geno core belonging to Sacred Shelter. It could cut through anything, and it was said to be indestructible.

When the master of Split-Knife was still alive, it broke countless geno cores belonging to super creatures. Its name was quite well-known across all of the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

Although Split-Knife was not a berserk super geno core, its power was still better than many berserks, anyway.

"If Goddess brought Split-Knife here with her, Han Sen is sure to die. He is so ignorant. He manages to get a little bit of power and then acts stupidly reckless. He deserves to die, really," Yu Xuan said dismissively.

While Yu Xuan and Yu Miao discussed this, Han Sen moved in front of Goddess. The Split-Knife in her hand was being swung right at him.

Little Jade Lion King was shocked, and he said, "Goddess brought Split-Knife? He is so dead. It's not like I don't want to save you, it's just that I really can't."

Dong!

When everyone thought Han Sen was dead, they saw him raise his arm to try to block her attack.

"He is too naive. Not even super creatures can block that knife," everyone thought.

The next second, Han Sen's arm displayed a shield that looked like a black crab. It managed to successfully block the strike.

Split-Knife's black swordlight crashed into the shield, but not even that was able to penetrate the defense of the arm shield. It only left a scratch that was around one inch deep.

"How is that possible? And what is that shield? How could it block Split-Knife?" Yu Xuan screamed.

The faces of those watching changed. No one had believed that Split-Knife could be blocked.

Pang!

The Overbearing Shield displayed that word overbearing, sending the Split-Knife's power back to its owner. Goddess' wrists were broken, and her Split-Knife was sent flying out of her hands. She coughed up blood and found herself barreling through the air, too.

Although she could use Split-Knife's power, her body and self geno core weren't super yet. They could not withstand the backlash.

Han Sen flapped his wings and the red light arced across the sky. Taia came forward like a wild wind, and Han Sen cut Goddess in half while she was still airborne.

She was the favorite daughter of Sacred Shelter's leader. Even if Yu Miao or Little Lion King possessed Han Sen's power, they would never have dared to do this.

Now Han Sen had just killed her mercilessly, and they all froze. Yu Miao, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, was left in shock. This was beyond all her expectations, and she didn't dare make a move.

Han Sen frowned. He had killed Goddess, but he did not hear an announcement. The two halves of her body faded into the God Ring, and then the God Ring disappeared.

"I will kill you!" The angry voice of Goddess echoed through the air.

Chapter 1542: Claiming Godlight Tunnel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen, seeing Goddess had not died, thought that it was a great shame. Little Lion King felt relief, though. If she had really been killed, and he was involved with the incident, it might have started a war between Lion Mountain and Sacred.

Although Lion Mountain was not afraid of Sacred, it'd be a clash between two super shelters. The loss of lives would not be worth it.

Han Sen noticed the Split-Knife had not disappeared alongside Goddess, however. So, he picked it up.

"Super Geno Core Split-Knife obtained."

Han Sen was delighted. He took the knife. If it could carve a mark into the Overbearing Shield, it had to be a very powerful weapon. It was great for Han Sen to obtain a super geno core out of the endeavor.

Taia was simply tough, and its effectiveness and power depended entirely on Han Sen. Split-Knife was incredibly strong all by itself, so for Han Sen, this would definitely increase his damage output and be particularly helpful when tackling super creatures.

When Goddess disappeared, the creatures of Sacred Shelter all ran off. Little Jade Lion did not ask his troops to pursue, as he did not want to make them particularly resentful.

Han Sen saw that Queen hadn't run off, so he walked before her and asked, "You aren't under contract, are you?"

( NovelFull ) Queen shook her head. "If I was, even I wouldn't stay."

"Good. When we leave God's Ruin, I'll take you back to the Alliance," Han Sen said, then went back to the Little Lion. "Tell your guards to protect the entrance of the Godlight Tunnel. Without my explicit permission, no one is allowed inside."

Little Jade Lion swiftly agreed, then ordered his company to guard the entire valley.

Little Jade Lion was a little scared of Han Sen now. He had originally thought that Han Sen wanted to use his power to take control of the tunnel, but it wasn't like that.

Han Sen had killed Goddess with a single hit, and Little Lion King was worried about upsetting him. He thought if Han Sen was displeased, Little Lion King might get cut in half too.

Even with a super geno core like Lionheart Stamp, he wouldn't feel safe.

Before Han Sen, even Little Lion's title didn't bring him a sense of security.

Yu Miao had wanted to make a sneak attack earlier, but seeing Goddess almost die that way and have to use God Ring's power to escape, she didn't dare try anything.

"Little Lion King, according to our deal, we can enter the tunnel now, yes?" Yu Miao said, walking into the valley to speak with Little Lion.

Little Lion King gave a wry smile. "If I took the tunnel, of course. But that isn't my call to make anymore."

After that, Little Lion King turned to look at Han Sen.

"You can go into the Godlight Tunnel, but the price of admission is two gemstone geno cores. Each," Han Sen said coldly.

Although Han Sen wished to kill them both, they were spirits. It was ultimately pointless. Han Sen just wanted them to act more careful with him. If Han Sen wished to kill them, they knew he could do it in one hit. If he wanted to kill them and keep them from respawning, though, Han Sen would have to destroy their spirit stones.

"Don't be ridiculous." Yu Xuan spoke with an annoyed tone. The people who took the tunnel last only asked for one.

"Is it? Then you can pay me three," Han Sen said quietly.

"You…" Yu Xuan sounded angry.

"Four." Han Sen's face was emotionless throughout. He spoke even before the spirit could respond.

"Two then," Yu Miao frowned. She was not sure if she could kill Han Sen in God's Ruin, so she was regretfully going to have to oblige him.

"Now it is four each. None less." Han Sen pointed at Tang Zhenliu then, and said, "But you can swap them out for other things, if you'd like. That being said, I'll give you 50% off if you're willing to release this man."

"I can give him to you, and the contract, but that means entry is free." Yu Miao looked at Tang Zhenliu as he spoke to Han Sen.

To her, Tang Zhenliu was just a bronze geno core grunt. If she could get a benefit such as that out of it, acknowledging he was important to Han Sen, she was going to bargain for the best deal possible.

Yu Miao thought of using Tang Zhenliu to threaten Han Sen, but she didn't do it.

She didn't know just how important weak humans like Tang Zhenliu were to Han Sen, so she was worried about being tricked, too.

If she wasn't successful in bargaining, she'd have to spend a lot of resources in gaining access to the tunnel, and Han Sen could go mad and kill them like Goddess, anyway. Although they could respawn with their spirit stones, it'd put an end to their relic hunt in God's Ruin.

"Half. He doesn't deserve more," Han Sen said coldly.

It was quiet for a bit, and Han Sen wasn't going to back off. Yu Miao agreed to the deal in the end, using Tang Zhenliu as the bargaining chip for having 50% off. Four gemstone class geno cores was too expensive, especially if they had to pay so many for each person. Not even Yu Miao had that many.

But they still had to pay two gemstone geno cores, and that was the double the price they were going to pay before Han Sen showed up.

Yu Miao and Yu Xuan thought Han Sen would charge the others that price, too, but when the solo creatures or spirits came to ask for entry, they were allowed in for the price of one gemstone geno core. This really peeved them.

Yu Xuan wished to say something and complain, but Yu Miao stopped him and just pulled him into the tunnel.

"Don't say anything. In God's Ruin, we can't fight him. Once we return to the outside, though, there'll be plenty of ways for us to exact our revenge." Yu Miao said darkly, as she entered the Godlight Tunnel.

"I'm going to chop him into pieces." Yu Xuan's eyes flared with the want of murder.

Tang Zhenliu, having gotten his freedom back, cried his eyes out. "Old Han, whenever you need me—whatever you want—please, just tell me."

"I will have a lot to ask you, actually. When Littleflower goes to your school, you should give us a discount." Han Sen laughed.

"No discount. We'll have him for free and we'll give him the best treatment," Tang Zhenliu patted his chest.

"Thanks, but we'll talk more about that in the Alliance. Since we're here now, though, we should head into the tunnel and try our luck. Maybe we can level up our geno cores." Han Sen brought Queen and Tang Zhenliu with him into the Godlight Tunnel.

Godlight Tunnel was a tunnel that went through the belly of a mountain. It was around ten miles long, and a weird power permeated the atmosphere inside. The humans felt a lot of pressure as they entered, and the deeper they went, the harder the pressure became.

If a person was talented, with a good fitness level, they might learn something when they went against that strength. Their skills might be improved and perhaps level them up straight away.

Chapter 1543: Leveling Up Under Pressure

The tunnel had the same width as an air raid shelter. It was wide enough for a car to pass through, but that was about it. Every one mile, a beam of sunlight would bathe a portion of the tunnel from above. It made the place seem longer than it actually was, and it felt extremely weird.

After each checkpoint of light, the pressure permeating the atmosphere of the tunnel increased. The gemstone class creatures that were the heirs of super creatures could only make it through fourteen of those checkpoints. They were unable to go any further than that.

Looking down the tunnel from a distance, the pools of light looked like the illumination of street lamps, all the way down. There were nineteen of them in total.

Up until now, no one had been able to figure out what lay at the end of the Godlight Tunnel.

Even the creatures that leveled up to super while inside the tunnel were unable to reach the end of it.

( NovelFull ) Little Lion King followed along and said with a smile, "We met each other on the field of battle. Let's encounter one-another again sometime. I am Little Jade Lion King of Lion Mountain. What is your name?"

"Han Sen. I'm human," Han Sen answered. He still wasn't fond of Little Jade Lion King, but it wasn't as if he hated the lion's guts. He wasn't entirely against having a conversation with him.

As Han Sen and Little Lion King spoke, Yu Miao stared at them coldly. She despised Han Sen.

And as they were having their discussion, someone else entered Godlight Tunnel. Han Sen thought it was just some creature or spirit, but it was in fact Six Paths.

Yu Miao's heart jumped when she saw Six Paths. Six Paths Emperor wouldn't hand over a geno core, and if Han Sen had any form of conflict with the spirit, she believed Six Paths would kill him with ease.

Yu Miao, who was going to continue following, stopped where she was for a spell. She waited for Six Paths to catch up and see if a conflict between the two would break out.

"Sister, Six Paths Emperor is here. I'm not sure Han Sen knows who he is. If he doesn't, given Six Paths' personality, a fight is sure to break out." Yu Xuan told Yu Miao giddily, in hushed excitement. He was thinking along the same lines.

Six Paths soon approached Han Sen, and crushing the expectations set by Yu Miao and Yu Xuan, Six Paths spoke to the human like an old friend. He asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm in God's Ruin. How could I not spare the time to visit the Godlight Tunnel?" Han Sen smiled.

Six Paths nodded and said, "Good timing, then. Now we can compete and see which of us can walk the farthest in this Godlight Tunnel."

Yu Miao and Yu Xuan wore strange expressions. They hadn't expected Han Sen to be personally acquainted with Six Paths Emperor. And again, knowing Six Paths personality to be what it was, it was perplexing to see him address Han Sen as if he was addressing an equal. They were flat-out shocked.

Little Jade Lion King, seeing Han Sen talk to Six Paths Emperor like his buddy, had an even greater admiration for the human. He thought to himself, "It's no wonder he is so strong. To kill Goddess as he pleases, he must indeed be quite the character. Before Six Paths Emperor self-destructed, he was more famous than my father. If Han Sen can talk to him like a friend, then Han Sen really must be strong."

Six Paths wasn't an avid talker, though, and after a few brief verbal exchanges, he went ahead and focused on getting deeper into the Godlight Tunnel.

Han Sen, Queen, Tang Zhenliu, and Little Lion King followed.

Bao'er was in Han Sen's arms, and Starsea Beast was following behind Han Sen. Little Silver was on the big creature's head, staring at the light up ahead.

The light sources above were like small suns, and they managed to light up the tunnel rather well. The first curtain of light fell on Han Sen, draping him with what felt like water. The light was tangible.

But the feeling was not heavy, and it did not feel burdening.

Everyone walked through the first curtain of light with ease. But after passing through the light, the gravity felt much heavier. Still, it did not slow them down or affect their passage too much.

They continued walking until they reached the fifth curtain of light. There, Tang Zhenliu could not take the pressure of what came next. His entire body was wet with sweat, and it felt as if he was carrying the whole weight of a mountain. It took a lot of effort just to make one step.

Of course, he only had a bronze geno core. His fitness and geno core level were still very weak, so it was fairly impressive he had managed to make it that far.

"Can you still go on?" Han Sen asked Tang Zhenliu.

"It's okay. I can keep going. I must make it to the sixth, at least." Tang Zhenliu gritted his teeth.

Han Sen didn't say anything. He just walked by Tang Zhenliu's side. The pressure there was of no bother to Han Sen.

Tang Zhenliu could see everyone else walking forward freely, and he even saw Little Silver lying on Starsea Beast's head in a relaxed posture as if there wasn't a single ounce of additional atmospheric pressure. He sighed and thought to himself, "Han Sen's companions are so scary. How long will it take me to catch up to his level?"

Tang Zhenliu did not want to give up, and onwards he continued. He eventually ended up far behind the others, as his pace was extremely slow. His muscles tightened, as if they were going to tear through his clothes at any given moment.

Han Sen didn't make it obvious that he was deliberately watching the man struggle as he was, but he did keep an eye on how he was doing. If it was becoming too much, and Tang Zhenliu could no longer stay upright against the gravity, Han Sen would take him out of the tunnel before he collapsed and died there.

Surprisingly, as hard it was for him, he managed to hold on strong. And when he almost reached the sixth light, his very bones began to creak. His entire skeleton sounded as if it was going to break.

Boom!

When Tang Zhenliu stepped into the wash of the sixth light, his entire body glowed with the color silver. It looked as if his geno core had managed to reach silver class.

Yu Miao and Little Lion King looked at him. Although it was not a rare thing to level up in the Godlight Tunnel, simply being able to meant he was talented.

Tang Zhenliu was tired, so he sat down and stopped moving forward. His geno core leveled up, but his body didn't. His body could not take any more pressure, either. He couldn't walk an inch further.

"I can't walk. You guys go ahead and I'll wait here." Tang Zhenliu spoke in between deep gasps.

Han Sen nodded as he went on alongside Queen.

When they reached the ninth curtain of light, it was Queen's turn to have difficulty. And when she reached the tenth curtain of light, Queen's body began to slow and her geno core leveled up.

"Godlight Tunnel gives the opportunity to level up a geno core, but the other creatures and spirits don't show any changes. Tang Zhenliu and Queen both leveled up. Is this just coincidental, or is there a reason for this?" Han Sen wondered.

Chapter 1544: Why Didn't They Level Up

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After leveling up, Queen didn't walk any further. She said, "My fitness isn't good enough to proceed. I won't bother trying to go any further, and I'll simply wait for you guys here."

Han Sen could see she was actually able to go forward a little bit more, but chose not to. Han Sen really admired her character, and he imagined Queen's Heavenly Go must have been fiercer than ever by now.

After the tenth curtain of light, some creatures showed signs of leveling up. But it seemed the chances of them leveling up were low. The ratio was around one in twenty. The others, even if they reached a point where they could no longer go on, were unable to level up.

In order to level up at those stages, you had to be below gemstone class. Those possessing gemstone self geno cores could not have their geno cores ascend to super class.

After the twelfth curtain of light, most of the creatures and spirits stopped. And when they reached the thirteenth, even Yu Xuan had to stop. There was only Yu Miao from Outer Sky Shelter who could keep going.

Yu Miao looked at Han Sen and was shocked. She wasn't surprised Han Sen could keep going, but the two creatures and the baby in his arms were also able to keep going. That was what surprised her the most.

The creatures that were able to go passed the thirteenth curtain of light were those that were the best of the gemstone tier. The fact that Han Sen's creatures could keep going was rather shocking to Yu Miao.

Little Lion King was showing even more shock than her. He was able to reach this point because the way creatures leveled up was different than how humans did so.

When the geno cores of humans leveled up, it was dependent on their skills. But that ascension did not greatly affect their bodies. If humans wished to level up their bodies, they had to absorb the genes of creatures.

The way creatures leveled up was different from this, as their geno core and physical strength were both tied to the same scale. When their geno core leveled up, their fitness would go along with it.

So, when creatures leveled up to a gemstone class fitness, that was that. There was no need for them to focus on ways that might increase their body specifically.

Little Lion King's genes were strong, and his geno core kept rising. He had come from silver to gemstone class, and through this, his body had developed as well. This was different than Queen and Tang Zhenliu. When their geno cores leveled up, their fitness didn't go with it. This meant they couldn't go any further.

Little Lion King was satisfied with his current performance, but seeing Little Silver and Starsea Beast travel all that way without breaking a sweat, he thought to himself, "Han Sen is scary. Even his creatures are this good. I don't know if they can reach the fourteenth, but if they can, they are undoubtedly the greatest heirs of super creatures."

Han Sen didn't know this was what Yu Miao and Little Lion King were thinking about. Thus far, he just thought it was strange that Tang Zhenliu and Queen had both leveled up, and he hadn't yet.

Han Sen had four self geno cores. Three of them were silver, and one of them was gold. Leveling them up should have been easy, but he had reached this point and hadn't heard a peep out of any of them.

Now, there was only Yu Miao, Little Lion King, Six Paths, and Han Sen left. They were all deep in their own thoughts, with not a single one of them saying a word.

After the fourteenth curtain of light, everyone's speed slowed down drastically.

The elites there were gemstone class. Through the fourteenth light and onwards, gemstone geno cores could become super.

Yu Miao's purpose for being here started now, but when she looked at the creatures around Han Sen, she saw they were all able to be there just fine. She was given another shock. "Are the creatures all around him heirs of super creatures? How can they reach this point with such ease?"

Little Lion King confirmed Han Sen was powerful through this, too. If he wasn't, there was no way he could possess so many scary pet creatures.

Han Sen was not surprised, though. Little Silver had eaten a lot of Lifedrops and his potential was high. He wouldn't be any weaker than a super creature.

Han Sen was surprised Starsea Beast was able to come all this way, though.

When Han Sen saw Starsea Beast's body, though, his geno core was only gemstone class. Han Sen thought it was just a sacred-blood creature, but it didn't seem that way anymore.

The way Starsea Beast could travel through objects was unique, and it was definitely something ordinary scared-blood creatures couldn't do. Now that he had walked up to this point with ease, it meant he was extremely talented. Leveling up had to be within the beast's reach.

"Weird. Why was the parent of Starsea Beast only a gemstone class? Was it not little Starsea Beast's actual parent?" Han Sen guessed.

Starsea Beast wasn't exerting much strength, but he was still able to keep going. Han Sen was impressed.

Little Silver was sitting upon its head. He hadn't walked a single step.

But the pressure permeated every corner of the tunnel, so it would have still affected Little Silver. But he appeared unmoved and unchallenged. He wasn't tired at all, and it made the fox look even more powerful.

Yu Miao wished to fight Han Sen, but the further she went, the harder it would be. She felt as if she wasn't half as good as Han Sen's creatures.

When they approached the fifteenth curtain of light, Yu Miao was having difficulty taking every next step. She ground her teeth and kept going, though.

When Yu Miao hit the last bath of light, her body glowed white. Her geno core had managed to level up.

Yu Miao was exuberantly happy now, and she thought to herself, "I should thank Han Sen for giving me the correct motivation. If I was alone, I don't think I would have reached this far and managed to level up."

Han Sen looked at Yu Miao. He knew she had now reached super because she was gemstone previously.

Little Lion King felt depressed. After leveling up twice, his body was not showing further changes. He hit the fifteenth light but failed to level up again, and now it felt as if he couldn't take one more step.

"Now I'm super class, so my power will be the top. I think I'm going to win. Except maybe for Six Paths, I will definitely be walking the furthest," Yu Miao thought to herself.

Little Silver and Little Star managed to go through the fifteenth light, but they didn't level up either.
