Chapter 625 - 619: Twenty-Fourth Rank · Great Annihilation
Realizing this, [Yan] felt immense pain.
If [Yan] had known the Blue Book in hand contained such immense value, [Yan] wouldn’t have leafed through it during the mission.
The best choice would have been to directly submit the task to the Endless Platform created by the three major civilizations and then stash this secret manual safely away!
Just offer enough benefits in time, using Faith Power Crystals to bribe the related operating divine beings...
The inspectors who haven’t seen the content of "Burning Martial" through surveillance, not knowing the value of this manuscript, would most likely turn a blind eye.
After all, during this task, [Yan] did not directly kill the task issuer, meeting the platform’s minimum requirement standard. It wasn’t against the rules.
[Yan] itself is a Middle Rank God, playing a bit on the edge and selling [Yan] a favor wouldn’t hurt.
As of now...
It’s impossible!
The inspectors are no fools; each one is smarter than the next!
Even if they haven’t viewed the Blue Book manuscript content through surveillance, just a glance at the spectrum of fluctuations on the Divine Soul Detector would allow them to guess [Yan] surely gained great benefits from this task.
Moreover, they would surely, through visual sharing, see everything [Yan] saw during the rescue mission!
Without needing to savor it delicately, even just a quick browse would make them aware of the value of this "Burning Martial" manuscript!
Closing the "Burning Martial" manuscript, [Yan] discovered that apart from a wisp of Inner Qi refined just now, the previously forcibly memorized text content had all gradually blurred and dissipated.
The principle of "Tao cannot be lightly passed" holds true across the cosmos.
This, [Yan] fully understood.
Otherwise, just by reading this single manuscript, wouldn’t it be possible to create many beings comparable to Upper Rank Gods?
Impossible!
Cosmic laws and rules stand firm!
[Yan] even suspects that this "Burning Martial" in the same dimension, on the same timeline, can only create one Upper Rank Divine Being.
Just like the seven Upper Rank Gods of the Divine Court.
Since those seven ascended to the peak, [Yan] has never heard of any new gods who could master similar or even related Divine Format Laws.
The path to Upper Rank God is unique!
Once proved by a god, the path becomes severed!
Though this information circulates only within a small circle among Middle Rank Gods without solid proof, [Yan] has no doubt.
[Yan] firmly believes this is the great cosmic will’s special opportunity and status elevation brought along this timeline to resist the arrival of [Revival End].
This "Burning Martial" is the opportunity for the eighth Upper Rank God to appear!
"Damn it!"
[Yan] looked at the bald deity beside [Yan] with an expression of divine wrath: "Why didn’t you warn me earlier?"
If everything could be redone, with the assistance of this "Burning Martial" manuscript, [Yan] might truly have become a [Divine Court King] that no one has achieved before!
The Bald Deity lowered its head without speaking, yet silently snickered inside.
By sensing the other party’s aura and changes in expression, [Yan] roughly guessed some things and knew the value of the "Burning Martial" manuscript just now was too great for [Yan] to swallow, which was why [Yan] was so frustrated.
Human happiness always builds on the pain of others, as with the gods.
"Get lost! Get as far away as you can! Don’t let me see you!"
[Yan] exerted Divine Power, sweeping the Bald Deity away with a single blow.
Watching the meteor formed by the bald head in the sky, [Yan] gritted [Yan]’s teeth: "Though I don’t want to hand over this manuscript, I must, or I will certainly be hunted and completely fall."
[Yan]’s origin is not noble, having hailed from a small low-level civilization with resources even scarcer than Yinghuang Star before [Yan] attained godhood.
[Yan] reached this point through a combination of talent, wisdom, decision-making under pressure, and luck, not at all by accident.
[Yan] understands deeply about the conduct, strength, and operational abilities of the Divine Court’s high-level structure, never harboring any fluke.
[Yan] knows that if [Yan] were to run away with this "Burning Martial" Blue Book, [Yan] would likely be captured in less than three days.
Either die violently on the spot or have [Yan]’s believers annihilated, hung on the Wall of the End.
"Therefore..."
[Yan] tightened [Yan]’s grip on the Blue Book, eyes sharpening: "Within the bounds allowed by the rules, I can only delay as much as possible, stay longer on Yinghuang Star, and find a way to fully comprehend the mysteries of this "Burning Martial" manuscript!"
...
At the same time.
Yinghuang Star, after a terrifying earthquake swept over half the planet.
East Longitude 115°, North Latitude 39°, in a ruined, abandoned courtyard.
Narrating a scene, Ma Ran, nearly in a blank blue state, was sitting in a chair woven from vines.
That hollow feeling was not pleasant but brought him unprecedented emotional experiences.
If this state persisted a bit longer, Ma Ran might even deduce a cultivation technique and complementary combat skills from it.
However...
Ma Ran did not waste time and energy on this.
In his previous life, he had peaked in combat skills.
To modestly say—throughout the entire cosmos, there wouldn’t be more than a handful who could match Ma Ran in combat skills.
Otherwise...
The creations of Cangming Overlords such as [Sword Master], [Demon Offspring], [Profound Immortal], [Lord of the Red Lotus] wouldn’t have been so effortless.
At this moment, Ma Ran collected his spirit, slightly closing his eyes, carefully pondering and digesting the newfound knowledge and power.
After relinquishing "Shocking Flame Human Form" with a feigned death escape, not much later, the play ability gave feedback!
Now, "Burning Martial’s" level cap had reached the Twenty-Fourth Rank!
In that "bait" thrown out, the mechanism of "Burning Martial" Twenty-Fourth Rank was similar to Twenty-Third Rank—it was a qualitative change brought by the quantitative accumulation of Starlight Cells.
The only difference lies in...
This stage incorporated some black technology principles of mecha engines, condensing Starlight Organ·Kidney. It retained normal physiological functions while more efficiently storing energy, with star power condensed into a liquid state, greatly elevating energy capacity limits.
Having finally squandered all energy, after "Burning Martial’s" rank increased, Ma Ran swiftly broke away from the blank blue state, and energy began to recover rapidly.
One after another black vortexes emerged around Ma Ran.
No!
These vortices were not "black" in color, but rather sucked in, refined, and utterly consumed all light and color surrounding Ma Ran.
Everything within the ruined courtyard seemed rubber-eraser erased, slowly disappearing without a trace.
Sunlight, sound waves, cosmic rays, wind energy, thermal energy...
Every possible source of energy was greedily consumed to the last morsel by cells within his body.
Surroundings formed an energy vacuum band, vision unperceivable, sound untransmittable.
Flowers, grass, trees, insects, birds, even the black brick floor turned into pale dust—their contained energy all devoured and digested by Ma Ran’s body cells.
Two hours later.
On Yinghuang Star, centered around Ma Ran, everything within a radius of sixty-two thousand square kilometers—matter, life—all turned to annihilated void.
...
Meanwhile.
Earth, Hubei, Xiangyang.
In the Grass Hut Academy.
A half-transparent blazing lotus pattern on Su Qiangwei’s left-hand ring fingernail suddenly turned bright red, with indistinct flames silently burning.
"Already successfully reached the destination..."
Meanwhile, the baby fat on the young girl’s face visibly reduced at an eye-catching speed.
She remained unfazed, wearing a previously anticipated look.
Su Qiangwei swiftly opened the packaging of high-calorie snacks such as duck, honey treats, chocolates placed upon the table, munching and musing between mouthfuls.
"This consumption is high indeed."
The gobbling young girl showed slightly quirky expressions.
Through the secret connection from version 2.5 of [Martial God’s Protection], she could clearly perceive Ma Ran’s condition changes and emotional fluctuations.
She understood that the ever-calm [Prophet], unshaken even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, after arriving at the Divine Court, had begun to liberate himself slightly...
