As for the others, they also received divine power, allowing their realms to breakthrough to the Peak of the Sealess Realm. Their bodies were nourished by the power of divine energy, successfully embarking on the path of divine power. However, whether they can continue on this path depends on their own destiny.
The divine power here is not the same as the kind Mu Chen and others have. It is simply a form of energy, similar to the energy in martial arts realms. But in front of beings like the Moon God, who possess special divine power, this kind of divine energy is quite insignificant. Mu Chen has mastered an astonishing amount of divine power, truly defying the heavens.
However, regardless of the kind of divine power, there is a hierarchy: First Level, Second Rank, Third Level, etc. The higher the rank, the stronger the power. The divine power obtained by everyone saw most of the women barely reaching Second Degree Divine Power. Powerful beings like the Netherworld King and the Poisonous Toad at the eighty-plus steps obtained Third Degree Divine Power. The Ancient God was rather fortunate, initially possessing Third Degree Divine Power, and after a fateful opportunity, advanced to Fourth Degree Divine Power, becoming even more formidable. The Emperor and Su Fei also achieved Fourth Degree Divine Power, but even so, they pale in comparison to Athena and others of the same rank. In general, this opportunity to obtain divine power was an unbelievably great fortune.
The cultivation of divine power is not as simple and easy as the cultivation of martial arts realms. It's not something that can be easily mastered through casual practice; it requires insight, a catalyst, and factors like the divine power origin. They happened to receive such a catalyst, gaining a legacy of divine power, paving the way to cultivating divine power in the future.
Thus, the people who obtained divine power were gradually repelled by the energy, stepping back and leaving the golden staircase, watching others with keen eyes from below.
At the same time, there were still four people on the golden staircase. The first was Mu Chen, gritting his teeth as he fought to the ninety-seventh step, blocked by countless golden energies, seemingly unable to advance another step.
The second was Liu Yuxi, whose white eyes appeared. It seemed the golden energy sensed something and applied less pressure, allowing Liu Yuxi to reach the ninety-fourth step.
The third was the Devouring Qilin, who reached the ninety-second step. The Devouring Qilin was special, progressing slowly instead of rushing upward.
The fourth was the Moon God, wielding divine power. It was unbelievable how the Moon God emerged so prominently, ascending to the ninetieth step, far beyond imagination. Despite the Moon God's weak initial strength, the ability to ascend so many steps was remarkable.
However, after reaching the ninety-first step, the Moon God could advance no further, receiving an epiphany of divine power, climbing to Fourth Degree Divine Power from Second Degree. The Moon God finally felt immense strength, nearing Mu Chen's level, or one might say reaching the tier of powerful beings like Athena.
"Soaring to great heights!" After returning outside, many congratulated the Moon God.
The Moon God merely smiled, feeling slightly embarrassed.
After some casual chatter, everyone turned their attention to Mu Chen, keen to see how far these three could go.
The second to find their limit was Liu Yuxi, who defiantly reached the ninety-sixth step but could proceed no further, receiving an epiphany of divine power at this moment. Everyone was curious about what level Liu Yuxi's divine power attained and what benefits were gained.
Liu Yuxi's aura surged wildly, ascending directly to the Peak of the Sealess Realm, continually rising. The divine power also elevated, creating a divine power space. From First Level to Second Rank, it kept soaring.
An hour later, Liu Yuxi's epiphany finally ended, reaching the legendary Divine Return Realm, with divine power reaching the Peak of Fourth Degree, surpassing even those like Athena.
"My God, amazing."
"Incredible, the cause must be those eyes, eyes not of this realm indeed do make a difference."
Many were astonished by Liu Yuxi's defiance of the natural order.
"Remarkable to reach ninety-six steps. This woman's future potential is limitless!" exclaimed a young man in white. However, he merely found it astonishing, as even the Divine Return Realm was merely ant-like before him.
After Liu Yuxi descended, many congratulated her, as she instantly became the strongest under Mu Chen.
The second-to-last was the Devouring Qilin. Adorably persistent, the Devouring Qilin seemed to battle fate and bloodline itself, ultimately defying odds to reach the ninety-sixth step, receiving divine power at the peak of Fourth Degree, and ascending to the Divine Return Realm. The benefits paralleled Liu Yuxi's.
However, both Liu Yuxi and the Devouring Qilin noted that despite breaking through to Divine Return, no Heavenly Punishment descended. It seemed something during their breakthrough had shielded them, preventing the punishment, which was a truly joyous outcome.
At this moment, all eyes were back on Mu Chen, who had reached the ninety-eighth step and had been stalled for half an hour. If he couldn't reach the ninety-ninth step, it would signify the end.
"What is going on? The golden energy here, the soul, talent, comprehension, strength, and everything else is emanating, yet it remains unattainable. What is the reason?"
Mu Chen was puzzled. Since strength alone couldn't lead to ascension, he released other attributes. Yet, upon reaching the ninety-ninth step, he found himself unable to advance further.
"What about the Divine Dragon Eye?" Mu Chen said, as his eyes transformed into the Divine Dragon Eye, surveying his surroundings.
"These golden energies blocking access are pervasive and insurmountable, stopping entry to the ninety-ninth step. The only way to ascend is through devouring," Mu Chen declared seriously, sitting down earnestly to devour the energies.
"Reaching ninety-nine is, to begin with, unbreakable, unless one can contend with these golden energies. Without that, there are no methods, no matter how extraordinary one's talents. However, this kid intends to refine them—what audacity or perhaps foolishness," commented the young man in white, scornfully. He knew the nature of the golden energies, things of despair, inconceivable to refine.
"Husband, keep pushing." the women urged collectively, hoping for Mu Chen's growing strength to change fate.
"Kid, concerning the Evil Worm King and Divine Dragon, I underestimated everything. All is beyond my imagination, yet I believe in you, and you will undoubtedly change the future." The Emperor said earnestly.
"Brother Mu Chen, you saved me, and I have faith in you," said the Netherworld King sincerely.
Many voiced their encouragement simultaneously.
"It's possible." With fervent refinement, Mu Chen felt the golden energies enter his body of their own volition, merging with the Seven-Colored Energy. This energy was not something he refined; it chose to fuse with Mu Chen.
