Chapter 683: Chapter 662: Shattered Altar

“Let’s go to the design room and see how to design…”

The group chatted as they walked.

“Now it weighs 750,000 tons. A ten thousand-fold standard means a weight limit of 7.5 billion tons. Hmm… the total weight of Earth’s highest peak, Mount Everest, is around 700 million tons…”

“In other words, in the future, a barbell will need to bear the weight of ten Mount Everests. It’s usually very difficult, but with your dense star cores, there is hope…”

“Our previous heaviest half-divine artifact only had a capacity of 1 billion tons. We can make heavier ones, but they become unwieldy and unusable…”

“To reach a level of 7.5 billion tons, and to fit your body, the current demigod materials won’t cut it. You’ll need to use some void god-level materials…”

“This kind of consumption is beyond the reach of the Holy Son’s allocation and even beyond the capacity of the Ice Snow Divine Sect. You will need to provide it yourself.”

The three demigod demon spirit masters looked helplessly at Zhou Leng.

“What about the bone shards of the Giant God?” Zhou Leng pulled out his spoils from the True King Land.

“So big? It’s enough, more than enough…” The three demigods nodded repeatedly.

Then, Zhou Leng spent an entire day discussing refining requirements with them. In the end, he left a hundred dense star cores and some divine bone shards. As for other materials, they will be provided by the Ice Snow Divine Sect.

He also paid five dense star cores to have the Ice Snow Divine Sect help craft or modify a few automatic, defensive and offensive half-divine artifacts that could at least defeat a Grandmaster.

Having done everything, he was about to leave Holy Snow City when he encountered the Eight-toothed Mammoth tribe coming for a trade.

The Elder of the Mammoth invited him to return together. Zhou Leng had not traveled this route before, so he followed the Elder of the Mammoth from the Demon Spirit World into the Fierce Beast World, then to Mammoth Mountain.

Because Zhou Leng had advanced to a Grandmaster, the Mammoth Tribe held a celebration ceremony, and he also received a blessing.

With this blessing, Zhou Leng was promoted to a Mammoth Elder, no longer just a guest, and now had decision-making power.

The Mammoth tribe formally allocated Mammoth Town and Mammoth Valley as Zhou Leng’s fiefdom.

The next day, Zhou Leng returned to Mammoth Lake with Huang and Xiaoba and, as was customary, collected a large amount of mammoth lake water.

The growth of the Tree of Life in the elf town outside Mammoth Town was average, but the Tree of Life by Mammoth Lake grew extremely rapidly.

In just a few months, it had become comparable to a Tree of Life decades old.

It even developed its initial consciousness, and when it saw Zhou Leng, it would actively shake its leaves to greet him.

Since Zhou Leng planted this tree, it inherently saw itself as Zhou Leng’s descendant.

The pool of life water filled up again, rich with vitality.

He took out a portion, leaving some for himself.

Finally, he headed to the Frost Giant Tree with Huang, recounting his journey.

After telling the story, he took out a large number of spoils from the True King Land from his starry sky bag and began sorting them.

At this point, Huang had also become knowledgeable and actively helped Zhou Leng with the sorting.

In the midst of sorting, Zhou Leng suddenly stopped.

“Hmm?”

From a demon’s magic spirit bag, he took out an extraordinary glass bottle.

The surface of the glass bottle was sealed with a very complex seal.

“This type of seal is definitely not from the Ten Realms. It seems… like it’s from a high-level civilization. This bottle…”

Zhou Leng held it in his hand, sensing it carefully.

Suddenly, a vast starry sky appeared before him, then an unimaginably grand and majestic power emerged, tearing planets apart and shattering stars.

Zhou Leng’s Martial Arts Will shook, and he quickly stopped sensing it.

“Starry Sky Divine Artifact…”

Zhou Leng looked at the bottle with a complicated expression, vaguely guessing its origin.

It was likely that the demons he encountered had completed a trade but were killed by him, hence it fell into his hands.

“That Celestial Calamity Envoy…”

Handing it over was reluctant.

Not handing it over, he risked being killed.

After contemplating back and forth, Zhou Leng took out the Star-shattering Bottle, put it into his backpack, and solemnly placed it under the Frost Giant Tree.

“Huang, this thing is very important. You must guard it well, don’t let anyone take it, and you can’t touch it either, understand?”

Huang nodded again and again.

Tree-man World.

Camp of the Demon Alliance Army.

A vast army of countless demons stretched endlessly, forming a city-sized camp.

In front of the newly established altar in the center of the camp’s demonized palace.

Thousands of Grandmaster demons, Grandmaster giant insects, and Grandmaster beastmen surrounded it in circles, performing a ritual.

Among them, ten demigod giant insects stood before the altar, injecting their power into it.

The Celestial Calamity Envoy stood in front of the altar, quietly waiting.

When the time came, he chanted complex divine text spells, then pointed to the altar.

Vast divine power shot out from his fingertip, causing the altar to radiate brightly.

With a rumbling sound, a ten-meter-wide beam of light shot into the sky, creating a huge swirling cloud.

Visible everywhere in the Tree-man World.

One strong Tree-man after another climbed high to watch, silent in the face of the imposing pillar of light.

Many Tree-men drooped their branches quietly.

It seemed the demons were once again using terrifying power.

The Tree-man Race was in danger.

Camp of the Demon Alliance Army.

The Celestial Calamity Envoy looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with divine light, searching for the Star-shattering Bottle through the power of the light column.

This was a Starry Sky Divine Artifact that his true body had sent using various means. It had significant use and must not be lost.

Slowly, the aura of the Star-shattering Bottle grew stronger, as if it would soon be found.

Suddenly, the Celestial Calamity Envoy’s pupils trembled, and countless defensive divine lights erupted from his body, even the divine-level power blessed by his true body surged forth.

Numerous protective powers intertwined into a grand celestial stele before him.

In an instant, he retreated backward, flying out at over twenty times the speed of sound.

The moment the Celestial Calamity Envoy left, the light column in the sky exploded.

An unimaginable extreme coldness descended upon the altar.

The entire altar instantly turned into ice, and then exploded.

Boom!

The fragmented ice from the altar shot out in all directions at speeds hundreds or thousands of times the speed of sound, with the fastest ones approaching a terrifying ten thousand times the speed of sound.

Nearly one percent of the speed of light.

A giant flower of ice and snow bloomed in the center of the Demon camp.

Tens of thousands of ice bloomed, divine brilliance flowing.

The space within a radius of a dozen kilometers seemed to be frozen.

All creatures inside, whether Grandmasters or Demigods, whether Demons or giant insects, were turned into ice sculptures, covered with holes.

Several dozens of seconds later, when the wind blew, countless ice sculptures turned into powder and drifted away with a strange sound.

In the far distance, the Celestial Calamity Envoy looked at his right arm.

Crack.

His right arm fell off at the shoulder, broke on the ground, and shattered into ice dust.

A trace of uncontrollable panic flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Calamity Envoy.

“This kind of power…”

He didn’t dare to think about it, not even a deep thought.

He knew very well that he didn’t need clear insight, just deep thought, just perception, could be enough to attract the attention of that unimaginable great power, and then be annihilated.

He immediately used power to forcibly seal his thoughts.

He forbade himself from thinking about this matter, to never touch the untouchable existence.

Including his true form.

After a long time, he sighed deeply.

He no longer considered which terrifying Divine Spirit made the move, but for the time being, there seemed to be only one possibility.

His stellar smuggling of the Star-Destroying Bottle had been discovered by a great being, which used high-level power as a warning.

“Forget it…”

He completely gave up the idea of pursuing the Star-Destroying Bottle, but then surprisingly smiled a little.

The Star-Destroying Bottle had drawn the power of a high-level civilization’s punishment, but nothing else had.

It indicated that the great being didn’t care about those little actions.

Or rather, he was not worth that level of power intervening.

This time, it was likely an accident and not the great power targeting him.

“Although the loss is great, I must accelerate the progress…”

The Celestial Calamity Envoy looked far away, where the crown of the Mother Tree towered into the sky, with branches and leaves like mountains.

The Fierce Beast World.

Zhou Leng stayed under the Frost Tree for a few days to cultivate, then opened the World Instrument to browse Crystal Sky Dust’s offline “circle of friends.”

While in the True King Land, he had already downloaded all the circle of friends from Crystal Sky Dust, including some emergency posts.

The World Instrument was not text or pictures, but a “full simulation” virtual world.

Zhou Leng first clicked on the last video from Crystal Sky Dust’s circle of friends.

“Goodbye, True King Land.”

With a mental click, Zhou Leng’s entire consciousness entered the video world.

Looking around, it was a completely real True King Land, indistinguishable in sight, sound, smell, touch, or all other senses from the real True King Land.

A projection of Crystal Sky Dust inside even greeted Zhou Leng, and while walking, introduced the True King Land, much like someone on a trip introducing it to family and friends.

Zhou Leng explored inside, and when he ran to the distance, some places fell into darkness.

But wherever Crystal Sky Dust had passed, it was identical to True King Land.

After understanding the virtual world, Zhou Leng exited and viewed Crystal Sky Dust’s other videos.

Sure enough…

There was a video world of Crystal Sky Dust’s school, a video world of high-level civilization cities, various martial arts cultivation video worlds…

The most delightful surprise was that there were actually videos of true gods explaining martial arts.

Some were posted on the cosmic network, and some were lectures that Crystal Sky Dust participated in at high-level academies.

Since it was a simulated virtual world, it was equivalent to a Divine Spirit teaching him directly.

Quickly, Zhou Leng came across many mind-stirring video worlds.

They were images of Divine Spirits battling in the starry sky, with unimaginable grand power.

The feeling was akin to primitive people from thousands of years ago seeing fighter jets flying at high altitudes.

Soon, Zhou Leng saw the most stunning video.

Star Emperor’s teaching.

In the video’s description, Crystal Sky Dust was extremely excited, as this level of video world had very high value in the cosmic network, all priced high and prohibited from indiscriminate spreading.

This video’s dissemination rights were only “10,” meaning it could only be shared with ten people.

Zhou Leng was the ninth person to obtain this video, and it was non-transmittable.

If discovered, he would be heavily penalized.

Unfortunately, this Star Emperor was not a human martial arts Divine Spirit but an alien Divine Spirit, mainly discussing spell-like knowledge and involving little in close combat.

However, some combat thinking was universal, and Zhou Leng silently learned and memorized.

But much of it was unlearnable.

The power gap was too vast.

In the video world, this Star Emperor was in the starry sky, treating stars as targets.

In his view, the explosion of a star was no different from throwing a stone.

Apart from cultivation knowledge, these videos also contained various universal knowledge, which he slowly sorted and recorded.

However, since all the information was in Divine Text, it quickly became exhausting.

But Zhou Leng delighted in it.

He was like a child from the mountains encountering the internet for the first time.

The purest curiosity formed a tremendous driving force.
