Breakthrough

"Heh, heretics, they call us heretics…"

"But the four-element mages in their academy learn the same things we do, so why aren't they heretics?"

"Ten years of war, do you know how they're portraying us outside now? They say we're devils who've killed millions of civilians and soldiers."

"Those soldiers were forced by them to attack us. We fought back, and in the end, all the dead soldiers were blamed on us."

"Now, the reputation of our Four Divine Beast Magic Academy throughout the Hexionei Empire has become utterly despicable."

"In the past two years, besides the few towns around us, how many outsiders have wanted to study at our Four Divine Beast Magic Academy?"

"Not a single one!"

"If we don't make a move, at most a year from now, our Four Divine Beast Magic Academy will be completely destroyed by those guys."

"And if we attack first, their seven Saint Realms will also intervene, and our Four Divine Beast Magic Academy might be annihilated in a single day."

"Of course, at least three of their seven Saint Realm experts will be taken down by us."

Saint Realm experts already possessed endless lifespans. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to die.

This was also why, after ten years of war, the Saint Realm powerhouses from both sides had not yet entered the fray.

"Then what do we do? Can we only watch the academy be destroyed like this?"

"I still have one last method."

"What method?"

Upon hearing Winnie, the dean of the Black Tortoise branch, say this, the other three deans looked at her.

"Do you still remember what the four deans said before they left?"

"What they said before they left?"

The three deans lowered their heads to recall. After a few minutes, the three of them suddenly realized: "Winnie, are you referring to that saying from the deans: 'If one day, you are attacked by followers of other Sovereign Gods, you can send someone Saint Realm or above into the Infernal Realm to seek help from the Four Divine Beast Family'?"

"Yes, our current situation is very similar to what the four deans described."

"The magic academy of those people is called the 'Sovereign God Magic Academy.' It's very likely that they are the followers of other Sovereign Gods that the deans mentioned."

"Then, who among us will go?"

For a moment, the four deans looked at each other, unsure who should go.

After advancing to Saint Realm, they had also learned about the Seven God Planes and Four Supreme Planes from the Plane Guardians. In those places, Saint Realm experts were as common as dogs, and God-level experts were everywhere. It was much more dangerous than here.

Similarly, staying here was not 100% safe.

They had four Saint Realm peak mages, and their opponents also had seven Saint Realm mages, all at the Saint Realm peak.

If the opponents confirmed they only had three people, then the people from the Sovereign God Academy would likely launch a strong assault on the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy.

With two against one and an extra person, their side would be at a significant disadvantage.

Either way, it was very dangerous.

"Langfero should go."

Ultimately, Winnie, the dean of the Black Tortoise branch, spoke: "I am an Earth Element Saint Realm, the strongest in defense. Clapton is a Wind Element Saint Realm, the strongest in speed and attack. Frank is a Fire Element Saint Realm, the strongest in burst power."

"If the three of us stay, as long as I fight desperately, the other two have a high probability of taking down two Saint Realm experts from the Sovereign God Magic Academy with us as escorts."

"Langfero, you are a Water Element Saint Realm, so it is most suitable for you to go."

The dean of the Azure Dragon branch looked at his three old friends and finally nodded.

Indeed, as Dean Winnie had said, the deterrent power of leaving the three of them behind was much greater than leaving him.

"Alright, then you all be careful."

"Mm, you too, be careful."

With the decision made, the four no longer hesitated.

When the soldiers of the Hexionei Empire began their next attack, the dean of the Azure Dragon branch, Langfero, quietly left the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy and flew towards the Planar Teleportation Array of the Audu Plane.

...

In Roy's mind, his soul power surged, resonating with a certain profound fluctuation.

Under this fluctuation, Roy's soul power slowly but steadily increased.

Nine thousand one hundred times.

Nine thousand two hundred times.

Nine thousand three hundred times…

As time passed, a powerful pressure was almost leaking out of the training room.

As Roy's secluded cultivation neared a hundred million years, the soul power in his mind had reached nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times!

Now, Roy's sea of soul was completely filled with dense soul power.

He was only one step away from ten thousand times soul power.

Awakening from his deep cultivation, Roy scanned with his divine sense, only to discover that the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were not in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.

After sending a message to Shelley, Roy elementalized and left the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range alone.

Based on his soul power reaching a thousandfold without any heavenly laws descending, Roy figured that ten thousandfold soul power shouldn't trigger any divine interventions either.

However, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Now that he had achieved Paragon in the Earthly Laws and held a Lord Godhead, an unprovoked descent of heavenly laws would likely cause a stir even among the Lord Gods.

At that point, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods wouldn't be able to protect him!

His divine sense spread out, and Roy quickly found the most suitable location for his breakthrough.

...

This was a perilous area in the Infernal Realm.

Boundless pale purple seawater, like silken mist, with cool water vapor rising and forming a purple fog in the air.

This fog covered an area of tens of millions of miles.

Countless lightning bolts flashed within the dense fog.

Occasionally, flying magical beasts that ventured into the mist were instantly obliterated by the lightning emanating from it.

A dark yellow light converged within the dense fog, and Roy's figure appeared within it.

"Crack, crack..."

Just as he finished elementalizing, the lightning in the fog enveloped Roy's divine body.

However, in the face of his Lord God Artifact-level divine body, these lightning bolts couldn't even tickle him.

The Sovereign Power within his body transformed into divine sense, spreading out, and Roy quickly understood the situation in the Star Mist Sea.

Perhaps due to the allure of the Lord Godhead, the more than ten prefectural cities and hundred great cities within the Star Mist Sea had no powerful auras.

The number of High-level Gods did not exceed one hundred, with tens of thousands of Middle-level Gods, and less than a million Demigods.

It was perfect for his breakthrough.

Roy then began the final step of his breakthrough in the deepest part of the Star Mist Sea.

"Rumble..."

A thousand years later, Roy's soul power finally reached ten thousandfold.

When Roy's soul power reached nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninefold, his sea of souls had already been filled with dense soul power.

This final increase of onefold soul power was like dropping a drop of water into a hot oil pan, causing Roy's sea of souls to surge. The amount of soul power had exceeded the sea of souls' carrying capacity, as if it would explode at any moment.

"Damn it, after my soul power reached ten thousandfold, it didn't automatically condense into a Soul Golden Core?"

At this moment, Roy felt he had made a huge mistake.

The violent expansion of his soul space gave Roy a splitting headache.

"Quick, think of a way..."

"I must condense this surging soul power into a Soul Golden Core before my sea of souls explodes from the pressure."

"Otherwise, if my sea of souls shatters, even Hong Meng won't be able to save me!"

Struggling to suppress the pain caused by the chaotic surges in his sea of souls, Roy maintained his composure, keeping himself in a state of "unity of heaven and man."

"First, I need to organize this chaotic and unruly soul power into order."

Slowly controlling the soul power around his Godhead within the sea of souls, Roy made these first portions of soul power that he regained control of revolve around his Godhead. Then, through the rotating vortex, he gained control of more soul power.

As Roy gained control of more and more soul power, the vortex in his sea of souls grew larger and larger.

Finally, using the rotating vortex, Roy gained complete control over his tenfold soul power.

However, the rotating soul power placed an even greater burden on his sea of souls.

"I need a central point for the soul power to attach to and compress..."

"The Godhead..."

A Godhead is a treasure bestowed by heavenly laws upon a person who has comprehended the Profound Mysteries of Laws to a certain extent, and it perfectly integrates with the owner's soul.

"If I use it as the core for my soul power..."

"No more hesitating, I'll take the gamble!"

With that thought, Roy gritted his teeth and poured the rapidly rotating, immense soul power into his Godhead.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The colossal soul power surged into the Godhead within Roy's sea of souls, emitting a deafening roar.

It was as if a new space was being carved out within the Godhead, and endless soul power poured into this space within Roy's Godhead.

As more and more soul power integrated into the Godhead, the pressure on Roy's sea of souls greatly decreased.

"It's working!"

A surge of joy filled him, and Roy continued to increase the infusion of soul power.

This immense soul power was being continuously condensed within Roy's Godhead.

Within his small Godhead, as more and more soul power was infused, the misty soul power began to condense into droplets.

One by one, the soul droplets gradually filled the illusory yet real space within the Godhead.

Then, under the pressure of the soul power continuously surging from behind, the soul droplets began to transform into a solid state.

"Boom!"

A powerful roar erupted in Roy's mind, a roar so intense it stunned him.

After an unknown amount of time, Roy regained consciousness from his daze.

"I'm not dead yet..."

This was the first thought that flashed through Roy's mind.

Then...

Roy unconsciously waved his hand, and the dense fog that had shrouded the Star Mist Sea for trillions of years was instantly swept away by him.

"This is..."

Roy marveled inwardly.

"So strong!"

With a mere thought, Roy's divine sense instantly spread out, and the seven continents of the Infernal Realm appeared completely within his mind.

His divine sense now encompassed the entire Supreme Plane; this was already the willpower of a Lord God!
