Chapter 240: Natural-Born Deity! Fire Nether Divine Beast

Li Yang had now displayed immense talent, but this also put him in a precarious position.

However, with an expert at the Divine Realm level protecting him, Li Yang was absolutely safe!

With Lu Kaluo’s protection, if the Alien Races dared to make a move, they would have to dispatch a Deity-level expert. Using a Deity for a Law Realm cultivator like Li Yang was obvious overkill.

After all, the most likely future for Li Yang was becoming a Deity, and there was a high probability he wouldn’t even make it that far and would just perish along the way.

And if an Alien Race were to dispatch a Deity, it would be equivalent to exposing and sacrificing their own pawn.

It wasn’t worth it at all.

Soon, Lu Kaluo led Li Yang to a massive palace. At its forefront stood a blank screen.

"Li Yang, you can use the screen to exchange for Cultivation Techniques, weapons, Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs, and more."

Geniuses from the Yangyuan Empire’s other training grounds all had their own Identity Tokens, which they could use to make exchanges directly.

But Li Yang did not, so he had to come here to make his selections.

Li Yang nodded and activated the screen in front of him.

Streams of information instantly appeared before him.

After a moment’s thought, Li Yang went straight to the entry for the Hexagram Spear.

He had previously cultivated the Hexagram Spear, but he had only redeemed the first three forms. Mastering the third form alone granted one unrivaled power within the Longevity Realm, which had been more than enough for him.

But to his surprise, he had completely mastered the third form in just a few short years!

The Hexagram Spear had a total of eight forms. The third and fourth forms corresponded to the Longevity Realm, the fifth and sixth to the Star Lord Realm, and the seventh and eighth to the World Realm.

Now that he had completely mastered the third form, Li Yang naturally had to begin cultivating the fourth.

He tapped the entry for the Hexagram Spear Cultivation Technique, and the detailed information immediately appeared.

Hexagram Spear, Forms One and Two: 10 contribution points.

Hexagram Spear, Forms Three and Four: 100 contribution points.

Hexagram Spear, Forms Five and Six: 1,000 contribution points.

Hexagram Spear, Forms Seven and Eight: 10,000 contribution points.

’These contribution points are really valuable.’ Li Yang was a bit surprised as he looked at the prices.

Back in the Milky Way Galaxy, when he redeemed the Hexagram Spear Cultivation Technique, the third form had cost one hundred billion Galaxy Coins, and the fourth form cost one trillion Galaxy Coins!

At that rate of increase, the eighth form would cost as much as ten quadrillion Galaxy Coins!

Only a Star Lord, or a World Lord above them, could possibly afford such a price!

And now, redeeming the entire manual only required a little over ten thousand contribution points.

Li Yang currently had one million contribution points; he could afford nearly a hundred Cultivation Techniques on par with the Hexagram Spear!

’Redeem it!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Yang redeemed the entire manual of the Hexagram Spear.

No matter what, this was the primary Cultivation Technique he practiced; he couldn’t just abandon it.

After completing the redemption, Li Yang looked at the other options.

Wheel of Time, Sword of Flame... There was a whole list of powerful Cultivation Techniques, as well as various precious Spirit Fruits, treasures, and even potions that could directly boost one’s strength at the Longevity Realm!

That potion could allow someone in the Early Longevity Realm to easily ascend to the Peak of Longevity Realm!

At this very moment, Li Yang could break through to the Longevity Realm without the slightest bottleneck!

Are you kidding? His current comprehension of Laws had already pushed his combat strength to a level where he was unrivaled in the Longevity Realm; breaking through would naturally be a breeze.

Beside him, Lu Kaluo watched Li Yang looking at the Longevity Realm-level potions and said with a smile, "Li Yang, you have no need to redeem a strength-enhancing potion like this. Even after you break through, it’s best to progress gradually from the Early Longevity Realm to the Peak of Longevity Realm. It will likely take a good six months to truly reach the peak."

A gradual increase in strength is always best. A sudden leap from the Early Longevity Realm to the Peak of Longevity Realm—a sudden power boost of at least a thousandfold—is of no benefit to a cultivator.

When Li Yang had previously broken through to the Law Realm, it also took him quite some time to advance from the Early Law Realm to the Peak of Law Realm.

He had to gradually acclimate to his own strength and improve step by step, leaving no hidden weaknesses.

Lu Kaluo looked at Li Yang and said, "In a few months, you’ll be arriving at the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. You can improve slowly there. The hall will provide you with free resources to help you better advance to the Peak of Longevity Realm."

’Oh, really?’ Li Yang’s interest was piqued.

Since Lu Kaluo had advised against it, he naturally wouldn’t purchase this cultivation opportunity for the Longevity Realm.

He continued to browse.

There were numerous treasures to choose from, and Li Yang quickly browsed through them. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a particular item.

"Corpse Fragment of a Longevity Realm Fire Nether Divine Beast: The Fire Nether Divine Beast is a born Deity. At maturity, it can master four profundities of the Fire Element Law. Its skin fragments are of immense benefit for comprehending the Fire Element Law! Price: 10,000 contribution points."

The information appeared before Li Yang.

’A born Deity?’

Li Yang was shocked. He quickly asked Soul Ink in his mind, "Soul Ink, do born Deities really exist in the Cosmos? Didn’t you say before that the number of beings like the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, who are born mastering the profundities of three Laws, could be counted on two hands?"

Hearing Li Yang’s question, Soul Ink replied placidly, "That’s right. In the entire Cosmos, you can count the number of beings like the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon on two hands. As for born Deities like the Fire Nether Divine Beast, you can count them on one."

Li Yang was speechless.

He gazed at the creature on the screen, which looked like a ball of burning fire, his thoughts unreadable.

He asked, "Soul Ink, the Fire Nether Divine Beast must be incredibly powerful in the Cosmos, right?"

’It’s a born Deity! Once it reaches maturity, its lifespan is eternal. Their race must be incomparably powerful!’

"Wrong."

However, Soul Ink directly refuted him. "The Fire Nether Divine Beast’s life form is of a very high order, but their race isn’t powerful."

"Not powerful?" Li Yang was stunned.

’How could the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, which naturally matures into Deities, not be powerful?’

"Li Yang, the Cosmos is fair."

Soul Ink explained, "The Fire Nether Divine Beast are born Deities, and their life form is of a high order, but they can only comprehend the Fire Element Law."

"Take the Human Race for example. Some comprehend the Metal, Wood, and Fire Element Laws. Others comprehend the Space and Time Laws. Still others comprehend the Dark and Life Laws. Many of our experts can master multiple Laws. But the Fire Nether Divine Beast cannot. They can only master the Fire Element Law!"

"And a Deity who has mastered only one Law is the weakest kind of Deity! Furthermore, it’s impossible for them to break through to the Emperor Level. Now, do you think the Fire Nether Divine Beast race is powerful?"

Li Yang was taken aback.

’They can only master the Fire Element Law? The weakest kind of Deity? Unable to break through to the Emperor Level?’
