CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: ASCENDING TO OVERLORD, FORCEFUL COERCION

Bang!

Su Qi’s Divine Sense soared infinitely, and the phantom of the vast river of history descended once again.

"Hmm!?"

"Have I broken through to the Twentieth Level Dominator Level and triggered the Mysterious Path again?"

Looking at the familiar scene, Su Qi immediately understood.

Activating the God’s Favored One state with all his strength near the Energy Node brought more benefits than he imagined.

The confidence to advance to the Overlord Level and kill Shang Kun increased infinitely!

However.

Now is not a good time to trigger the Mysterious Path. The situation is dire, with a group of Overlord Level Transcendents eyeing him covetously.

Therefore.

After the surging knowledge flooded his mind.

He unhesitatingly severed the connection to the Divine Sense, exiting the Mysterious Path without even glancing at the Heavenly Dao Panel.

At the moment the Divine Sense returned.

Su Qi felt a sense of rebirth, with the endless secret power fully absorbed into his body, and his gaze becoming sharper.

Vaguely, his entire being seemed to exude a certain ’force’.

At this moment.

He instantly understood that the aura controlled at the Overlord Level was actually a ’force’ burst forth when Spiritual Power reached a certain level and resonated with the heavens and earth!

Heaven and man’s resonance, mastering great trends!

If other Overlord Level Transcendents knew he comprehended this so quickly, their jaws would drop in shock, as most Transcendents take months to even grasp a hint at the Overlord breakthrough.

However, Su Qi knew this was the divinely authoritative aspect of being God’s Favored One, lofty and versatile.

Like a C programming language master who, upon encountering any new computer language, can quickly grasp it!

"What is that!?"

"It seems the Energy Body split in two, emerging a blazing sun!" In the distance, those at Control Level Transcendents widened their eyes in shock.

The distance was a bit far, and they couldn’t see very clearly.

Likewise, some with deep, extraordinary gaze denied excitedly: "No! It’s not the Energy Body splitting in two, but a mysterious strong force extracting the Energy Body, causing a vision!"

At these words.

The nearby Transcendents were all stunned.

"My God, could someone have reported the situation here, and an Apostle Level supreme powerhouse descended to forcibly suppress the Dimensional Passage that is about to open!?"

"No way, did an Apostle Level powerhouse really descend?"

"Spread the word, the mysterious person is suspected to be an Apostle Level supreme powerhouse!"

In an instant.

The crowd boiled.

In their understanding, only an Apostle Level could suppress the Dimensional Passage, so anyone able to cause the Energy Body to split is infinitely close, even if not at the Apostle Level!

"Apo... Apostle Level..."

On a nearby hill, the True Tiger Squad heard keywords like the mysterious person and Apostle Level.

Suddenly, there was the sound of gulping, and everyone’s faces turned ashen.

Pairs of eyes instantly dimmed, as if they lost all light.

Suddenly feeling so tired, it might be better to just let it end...

They had just confirmed that their group might have seized the hill of an Overlord Level powerhouse.

Not long after.

Someone told them that the mysterious person might be an Apostle Level supreme powerhouse!

"???"

...

At this moment, near the Energy Body, Shang Kun watched the mysterious person remain indifferent under Elder Fei and others’ probing.

The greed in his heart could no longer be contained.

If truly strong enough to ignore everyone, how could such a powerhouse tolerate these nuisances?

Could it be intentionally putting on a profound front, using a Foreign Treasure to make a huge profit and then run!?

Shang Kun felt his guess was close to the truth, so he boldly stepped forward.

"I also think using a Foreign Treasure might be a bit overdone."

"However, the energy at this node is too enormous, even an Apostle Level powerhouse cannot fully absorb it, so how about this, we offer a high price to borrow your Foreign Treasure!"

"Everyone can take turns extracting the node’s energy, which could downgrade the Permanent Dimensional Passage to a long-term one, avoiding a disaster and maximizing benefits!"

It must be said.

Shang Kun’s words had great persuasive power, and everyone was eager to move upon hearing them.

If everyone could, like this mysterious person, use a Foreign Treasure to extract energy, the improvement would be unimaginable!

"My friend, we can assure you that everyone will only borrow it for a short time, and will not covet your Foreign Treasure!"

"Right, anyway, as a single person, the energy you can absorb must already be at its limit, we can offer a price."

"If you truly agree to lend the Foreign Treasure, we could join forces to calm this disaster and share the spoils of the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal brushed out!"

For a time.

The crowd was excited, stimulated directly by Shang Kun’s suggestion.

And within Shang Kun’s pupils flashed a trace of ruthlessness that was hard to perceive. Once he confirmed it wasn’t a manifestation of the Mysterious Path, he would stop at nothing to seize it.

He deeply understood that this Foreign Treasure was of even more importance than the opportunity from the Dimensional Passage!

The gathering of Energy Nodes by the Dimensional Passage was already a rare encounter, whereas this Foreign Treasure could constantly amass energy to speed up cultivation!

Besides.

The strength he disclosed to the public was only Level Twenty One Overlord Level; in reality, he had already entered Level Twenty Two Overlord Level!

Coupled with the Rakshasa Path’s dominance, he still had the power to confront a Level Twenty Three Overlord!

This was his always haughty confidence!

Su Qi felt the warmth from the Holy Spear and was reassured.

The charging time had exceeded five minutes by now, but he was not in a hurry to make a move.

The increase in strength had significantly accelerated the charging speed of the Holy Spear; to be sure, he continued to infuse energy rapidly!

"Sorry, I don’t have the Foreign Treasure you mentioned..."

Even if he did, he wouldn’t foolishly lend it out.

He was still biding his time!

However, Elder Fei and Shang Kun’s group could no longer afford to wait.

Because the Dimensional Passage could activate at any moment.

Once it did, the Energy Node would be sucked in to consolidate the passage.

Then, even possessing a Foreign Treasure would greatly reduce efficiency.

Immediately, dozens of terrifying auras spread forth, pressing forward.

It was less borrowing and more coercing Su Qi to hand over the Foreign Treasure!

Su Qi didn’t take it to heart, patiently storing the energy of the Holy Spear.

Yet.

Nearby, Yun Jin accidentally panicked under the prying gaze of various Overlord Level powerhouses, fingers moving unnaturally.

This subtle movement was noticed by Shang Kun, whose thoughts churned instantly.

This person’s companion panicked...

That means this person’s strength can’t handle everyone present!

In other words, he was bluffing!

At this thought.

Shang Kun’s eyes filled with killing intent, red aura swirling around him, instantly forming a blood-soaked Rakshasa phantom behind him, emitting a terrifying aura.

Forcing nearby Overlord Level Transcendents to instinctively retreat a few steps.

His figure was robust and unrivaled, aura increasingly astonishing, coldly saying: "Whether you have a Foreign Treasure is not up to you."

"Since you are so ignorant, I will personally come to take it."

The tone was domineering to the extreme.

This scene caught those present by surprise.

Watching Shang Kun reveal his ferocity, advancing with an unparalleled stance.

Su Qi’s lips curled into a smile, originally intending to kill this person, and surprisingly, he jumped out on his own.

Truly loading the ’seeking death’ buff to the brim!

So.

Su Qi stopped drawing energy, revealing the gleaming golden Holy Spear in his hand, coldly saying: "Is this what you want."

"Here you go."

Bang!

Overlord Level aura erupted, various enhancement buffs instantly applied, and the golden Holy Spear was coated with a pure white sheen, flashing with a chilling gleam!

At the same time.

All of Shang Kun’s body hair stood on end, an extremely horrifying sense of crisis surged to his Skull.

As if the sky was collapsing!
