Day after day passed, and before he knew it, Huang Yi had already reincarnated to surpass level 150.
During this period, the Hero’s Continent was going through a relatively smooth phase in its warfare. After Yang Yuheng ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he was practically invincible on the battlefield, becoming the Hero Legion’s number one warrior. He led troops to reclaim many lost territories.
Coupled with Dao Feng, who was an apex existence among super-first masters, the Hero Legion was invincible in both attack and defense. Wherever they went, the enemy perished.
This allowed Huang Yi to relax and fully dedicate himself to studying at the Oskan Royal Academy. All his courses made significant progress. As of now, he had already graduated from several simple courses, with only complex ones like Formation remaining unfinished.
However, during this ti, Huang Yi distinctly felt that the catastrophic calamity encompassing The Second World was drawing ever closer.
Ever since Yang Yuheng ascended to the Heavenly Realm, it didn’t take long for an influx of demons to start appearing across the globe!
The Second World beca a playground for their rampant destruction, among which the Hero’s Continent suffered the most, becoming the most severely afflicted area of demonic infestation!
The sheer number of demons diverted the Hero Legion’s focus, making it difficult for them to concentrate solely on fighting the invading army.
Fortunately, among these demons, there hadn’t yet been any exceptionally powerful entities that surpassed the Heavenly Realm. There were only a handful of them, likely just the vanguard preparing for an invasion by the Seven Archdemons.
Although the arrival of these demons caused imnse destruction, it also brought a trendous wealth of demon cores. Many players, aside from participating in national battles, found a new fast-track leveling thod: hunting demons and utilizing their cores to level up.
Previously, many ordinary players around level 190 now ascended to the Heavenly Realm, propelling The Second World into the era of the Heavenly Domain. For now, Yang Yuheng still maintained his position as the world’s number one master. As long as those super-first masters hadn’t ascended to the Heavenly Realm, his position remained unchallenged by ordinary players.
However, only strong players could hunt demons successfully; weaker ones could only fall victim to them. The disparity among players grew increasingly pronounced—weak players were killed repeatedly by demons, becoming weaker, while powerful players obtained an abundance of demon cores and leveled up at a rapid pace. So could even leap several levels in a single day. Especially Dao Feng, a formidable super-first-class expert, whose leveling progress was astonishing.
One day, Huang Yi logged in as usual.
His main body appeared at the Oskan Royal Academy, while his incarnation remained in the Hero’s Continent, each handling different tasks.
"Brother Yi, I’ve been waiting for you for so long." At this mont, in Dragon City on the Hero’s Continent, Huang Yi’s incarnation felt a soft and fragrant warmth as a delicate figure dove into his embrace—it was none other than Qin Shiyu.
Qin Shiyu had now reached level 178, having received dozens of demon cores from Huang Yi that helped her skip dozens of levels. Coupled with her frequent appearances on the battlefield to kill enemies, her leveling speed far surpassed the Tower of the Pantheons. She was catching up on the levels she’d previously fallen behind with remarkable speed.
"Is there any news in the outside world?" Huang Yi asked while stroking Qin Shiyu’s hair.
"There’s indeed sothing." Qin Shiyu nodded, pressing her face against Huang Yi’s chest. She said, "Just yesterday, Ni Dongde led his troops to liberate the last country in the West African region. As of now, all countries in West Africa have declared their independence from the World Federation’s control. Ni Dongde is planning on switching to another battlefield soon, and he should be having Zhang Yujian notify you about the next round of coordination soon."
"That’s great. The World Federation is growing weaker, and we’re approaching victory." Huang Yi replied with satisfaction, sensing that freedom was drawing nearer to him by a step.
Qin Shiyu voiced her concern, "But now, T.N.T., Miyamoto Musashi, and others have launched the calamity of demon invasions. The forces we’ve assembled across the world have suffered varying degrees of losses. And this is only the vanguard for the Seven Archdemons; the real threat hasn’t revealed itself yet. When those Seven Archdemons descend, we can’t even begin to estimate the damage to our forces. It might even be difficult to coordinate with Ni Dongde for subsequent actions in The Second World."
Huang Yi pursed his lips without speaking. As strong as he was, he couldn’t compare to the power of the Seven Archdemons. Protecting the Hero’s Continent as their ho territory was already the limit; for other continents, they could only leave it to fate.
"Hm?" At that mont, Huang Yi suddenly noticed a change in the colors of the world outside the window. It seed as though the entire world had grown brighter and more radiant.
Qin Shiyu also noticed this phenonon and imdiately turned to look outside!
Outside the window, they saw enormous streaks of blue sword qi shooting across the southern skies like rapid lightning. Within monts, these streaks arrived furiously, filling every inch of the sky visible to their line of sight!
The entire Dragon City realized the phenonon and instinctively lifted their heads, gazing at the heavens. The sky was no longer the usual blue sky and white clouds but was entirely covered by an infinite mass of blue sword qi, an imasurable and boundless display. It was as if the entire world had beco a realm of endless sword qi.
This scene was unmistakable—soone was ascending to the Heavenly Domain level!
But this heavenly phenonon was far too overwhelming, far grander than the scene of Yang Yuheng’s ascension. When Yang Yuheng had ascended, the clouds in one region of the heavens had turned golden, visible from afar across the continent.
As for Heavenly Dao’s ascension to the Heavenly Realm, the phenonon expanded across the entire continent’s skies, unhindered by regional boundaries. Regardless of where soone stood on the Hero’s Continent, they would see the canopy of blue sword qi overhead without looking far.
This indicated that the individual’s foundation was so profound as to be beyond imagination! Previously, the most magnificent ascension phenonon had been Yang Yuheng’s, while other players’ ascensions were comparatively ordinary. So phenona were even confined to a radius of a few kiloters.
This ti, however, the phenonon had exceeded several levels of grandeur!
...
Far away on the Central Continent.
Huang Yi, located in the Oskan Royal Academy’s library, suddenly noticed faint blue light coming from the direction of the Hero’s Continent!
Startled, he never expected the Hero’s Continent’s heavenly phenonon to spread so far—visible even from the Central Continent.
Initially, he thought only his incarnation on the Hero’s Continent could witness the phenonon. Yet, even his primary body on the far-off Central Continent could see it!
Not just Huang Yi—everyone across the Central Continent turned their gaze toward the Hero’s Continent!
"Oh heavens! That’s... a Heavenly Domain ascension phenonon. Who could it be? How is it possible to observe this phenonon across such vast distances?" A nearby student who had been reading a book couldn’t help but raise his head to marvel at the phenonon, muttering in amazent.
"This is a semi-divine level phenonon that disregards distance. If you are in The Second World and can see the sky, you can witness it. Historically, those with such phenona have often grown into demigod-level figures. Who could this be, with such an imnse foundation? Such a person, even when arriving at the Central Continent, would quickly rise to dominance!" A librarian adjusted his glasses and offered his assessnt, his tone filled with awe.
At that mont, a vast and far-reaching voice echoed across the heavens—
"[System Announcent]: [Heavenly Emperor] ascended to the Heavenly Realm, triggering the first semi-divine level heavenly phenonon, earning 1,000 points of Public Prestige and obtaining the [Unique Achievent]-[Semi-divine Level Heavenly Phenonon]. Japan’s National Honor Points 1."
"So it’s Heavenly Dao!" Instantly, shock waves rippled across the global player base!
Finally, a super-first-class expert had ascended to the Heavenly Realm!
From this mont, Yang Yuheng would no longer be the world’s top master. The title would shift to Heavenly Dao!
What’s more, Heavenly Dao would claim the position as the world’s number one with an overwhelming margin. Despite Yang Yuheng’s previous excellence, he was strong only in the realm of ordinary players. His foundations paled compared to Heavenly Dao’s and posed no threat to Heavenly Dao’s reign.
"Now, the dynamics of the Hero’s Continent’s national war are surely going to get interesting." Nearby, a man holding a book in one hand turned his gaze toward the heavens above the Hero’s Continent. He was the Poet.
Turning toward Huang Yi, the Poet remarked with interest, "Heavenly Dao has ascended to the Heavenly Realm. How are you planning to confront him?"
"Not much to worry about. Dao Feng is nearly there as well. Over the past few days, we’ve secured several demon cores from foes above level 190, all reserved for Dao Feng. Heavenly Dao won’t be able to stir much trouble." Huang Yi replied calmly, unfazed.
"Dao Feng, Heavenly Dao, the Pope... these veteran masters, no matter how the era evolves, never get left behind!" The Poet sighed wistfully before turning back to Huang Yi with a curious gleam in his eye and saying, "But what I’m most curious about is you. When your reincarnation ends, what kind of heavenly phenonon will you create?"
"Just wait and see. My reincarnation has about twenty days left. During this ti, I’m rushing to grind levels as much as possible, grabbing experience points where I can. Even I’m curious to see how far I can get." Huang Yi said quietly.
Over the past period, he’d been frantically leveling up. In addition to skipping over 200 floors in the Tower of the Pantheons with the help of the Commandnt of the Pantheons, he actively hunted high-level demons, targeting monsters roughly 30 levels higher than him. The massive level disparity allowed him to earn far more experience points than others. This was one of the greatest advantages of reincarnation, and he intended to exploit the last monts of his reincarnation ti to harvest as much experience as possible.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
After Heavenly Dao ascended to the Heavenly Realm, the impacts beca evident—the invading armies on the Hero’s Continent suddenly seed reinvigorated, fighting with exceptional fervor and aggressiveness.
Huang Yi personally issued an order for Yang Yuheng and Dao Feng’s legions to halt attacks on the invading armies and instead avoid confrontation for now. He redirected their efforts to focus entirely on tracking down demons over level 190 to obtain their cores and accelerate Dao Feng’s ascent to the Heavenly Realm.
Huang Yi himself didn’t slack off either.
On this day, he arrived at the Hero Hall of the Oskan Royal Academy.
With his level now above 150, it was finally ti for him to undergo the Hero Trial—the last major task during his reincarnation. (To be continued.
