Vol 26 Chapter 30 (2/2)
“The second stratum holds more formidable cultivators Some have unique treasures or techniques, such as special spells or powerful golems Others have reached at least the supreme World-level of power
“The third stratuenerally where most supreme World-level cultivators reside, or those who possess extremely special techniques I’ I’ my opponents to face my attacks head-on, which is my position within the third stratum is quite secure
“The fourth stratuenerally filled with transcendent World-level cultivators, as well as soed to the fifth stratum but ere temporarily beaten down by other cultivators from that stratum
“The fifth stratu securely within that stratum is an utter monster Most of them probably have the power of Daolords of the First Step, and many have very unique skills and abilities Who knohat special skills or trump cards they have up their sleeves? All I know is that I’ve never run into them before There are only twelve individuals total on the fifth stratuht are special lifeforms while four are cultivators”
Ning was secretly shocked upon hearing this
The twelve on the fifth stratum all had the power of Daolords of the First Step? How terrifying Still, most were special lifeforms There were certain powerful races that were born with trees over normal cultivators!
“There’s only a single cultivator on the sixth stratum I hear that his na figure” The pudgy youth shook his head “What a freak! He’s a special lifeform as well Not even those other freaks on the fifth stratu”
“Bertulu?” Ning silently memorized this name
“Fortunately, there is a rule in the Astral Islands that anyone who makes it to the fifth level will be protected, even if they are temporarily knocked down to a lower level That’s why the only reason why Bertulu hasn’t completely demolished all of the other freaks” World God Pillsaint shook his head and sighed
Ning understood the purpose of this rule The Astral Islands existed in order to help the Brightshore Kingdom select some of the most powerful World-level cultivators to join its ranks The three hundred thousand-plus cultivators within the Astral Islands right now included dom had abducted from the outside world, but it also held htshore Kingdom’s own territory Ordinary World-level cultivators simply couldn’t compare to them
Given how st the three hundred thousand, for a few absolute e was normal
Generally speaking, anyone who could make it to the fifth stratum was a freak in some way Any such person would be protected by the Astral Islands Even if other cultivators defeated them, they would at acy treasures It was forbidden to kill them! It was also forbidden to seize any of their other, personal treasures!
But of course, this was just a doo crazy over theh they were monsters now, they wouldn’t necessarily be monstrously powerful Daolords in the future
In the AllGod Estate, the formation-spirit of the Ten Thousand Mountains had encountered quite a few freakishly talented figures over countless eons, but the only truly fore was Daolord Badlands
But of course, Bertulu was so incredibly, freakishly talented that even the htshore Kingdom, rarely encountered his equal He had already found his path and was capable of beco a Samsara Daolord whenever he wished The way they treated him was naturally different
“It seeh toit to the fifth stratum will I be protected”
Although Ning was confident in his abilities, he wasn’t confident in his abilities to defeat Bertulu of the sixth stratuacy, the heartforce legacy, a long tio Cultivators skilled in heartforce were quite terrifying to fight, and Ning wasn’t confident in his ability to withstand him
“I need to seize every ht appear”
After this first battle, Ning began to accept one challenge after another He kept a low-profile as he dueled other cultivators on the first stratued
There were also tied refused In that case, he had no choice but to wait and rest for a day
And so, just like that…
Ning ended up spending twelve days before advancing to the second stratum
After spending another twenty-six days, he advanced to the third stratum
After spending another fifty-one days, he advanced to the fourth stratum
Ning didn’t encounter any of the freaks who had previously made it to the fifth stratum Since everyone who had been on the fifth stratum was under protection, it was very rare for other World-level cultivators to challenge theenerally spent acies they had acquired It was entirely possible for the’s sudden rise to power did attract the attention of two ‘protected’ World-level cultivators, but those two didn’t e him Instead, they watched quietly
