Chapter 866 The Final Challenge (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After winning the top spot, Su Ping received several rare cultivation resources every day.

The deep red star crystals are of extremely high quality. They are generally used by star lords for cultivation and are also a form of hard currency circulating among star lords, even more readily available than federal currency.

Crimson Star Crystal veins are extremely rare in the universe. Even those who have achieved godhood would try to seize them. Although those who have achieved godhood do not need Crimson Star Crystals, they can give them to their subordinate forces.

Most of those who attain godhood have power, while very few are solitary wanderers. Even these lone wanderers have their own followers and will plunder rare resources for their followers.

Cultivating with Crimson Star Crystals also requires certain conditions for the cultivator; below the Star Lord level, one needs extremely strong willpower.

When Su Ping obtained this resource, he also followed a Star Lord of a Secret Realm and tested his willpower inside a Divine Illusion Tablet.

In reality, it was just a formality. Su Ping's ability to rush to the 96th floor of the All-Element Illusion God Monument in one go not only demonstrated his terrifying combat power but also reflected his extremely strong mental strength.

And the test results were just as the Star Lord of the Secret Realm had guessed. In a very short time, Su Ping easily reached the passing level he had mentioned.

Su Ping didn't intend to pass the test; just passing would be enough, since the test didn't count towards his score.

Inhaling the deep red star crystal, besides the extremely pure and powerful star energy, Su Ping also sensed an extremely ethereal energy. This energy surrounded him, and during cultivation, it was as if a voice was guiding him, making his thoughts agitated and several times more sensitive, and his comprehension of the rules also accelerated significantly.

"No wonder it's a star crystal used by Star Lords. If you cultivate with this for a long time, you can easily comprehend the rules. However, for Star Lords, comprehending new rules doesn't significantly improve their combat power unless it's accumulated over time."

"This ethereal energy is somewhat like the whispers of the ancient gods in the fifth dimension. Those with weak willpower will succumb to it. No wonder one needs strong willpower to avoid getting lost in cultivation."

With the daily supply of five deep red star crystals, the energy within Su Ping's body surged ever more, reaching its limit. If it were any other Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator, they would have had to break through the bottleneck long ago, otherwise they simply wouldn't be able to absorb it.

However, the Chaotic Star Power Diagram that Su Ping cultivated exhibited extremely strong inclusiveness. His cells were like vortexes, absorbing and storing this star power. When these cells could no longer store it, Su Ping tried to start cultivating the third realm, the Star Chart Realm!

He connected the cells in his body to create the first star map within his body.

This star chart is relatively simple, with three stars facing each other like a triangle, balancing each other and generating a unique energy field in the middle.

Su Ping used cells to fuse together and construct three large cell bodies, which then propelled these cells to outline a star map within the body.

This process was extremely strenuous and consumed a huge amount of star power. Su Ping had already reached his limit and could no longer absorb star power, but as he drew the star map, the vast star power within these deep red star crystals entered his body, but it was all just a drop in the ocean and not enough at all.

"As expected, cultivation at the Star Chart Realm is even more difficult."

Su Ping wasn't discouraged. Anyway, he received Crimson Star Crystals every day, and with slow accumulation, he would eventually master it.

Su Ping was quite looking forward to seeing how his combat strength would change after he mastered the first star map.

In addition to the Crimson Star Crystal, Su Ping also absorbed all of the Star Remains Dragon Marrow provided daily, fusing it into his body.

This is pure body-refining material. Su Ping cultivates the Divine Demon Body, and his body is equivalent to a young Golden Crow. At this moment, absorbing the Star Remains Nirvana Dragon Marrow to strengthen his body is equivalent to strengthening the Golden Crow Divine Demon Body, making his physical body more and more resilient. Su Ping feels that if he finds an ordinary Star Realm cultivator and lets them attack him, he may not be injured.

His physical body alone is terrifying enough.

Keep in mind that his current cultivation level is only at the Heavenly Fate Realm!

The remaining Five Elements Divine Herbs were of little use to Su Ping. Apart from these five basic elements, his resistance to other elements had already reached the highest level, while the Five Elements Divine Herbs could only be upgraded to the advanced level, so Su Ping had no use for them.

"I can only keep it and give it to that guy later, or to another friend on Earth." Su Ping put it into his storage space, and the image of Su Lingyue flashed through his mind.

His battle pets, the little skeletons, also have top-tier resistances, so they're useless.

……

Time flies.

Su Ping remained seated atop the mountain, cultivating, while the Holy Maiden of Thousand Leaves, King Auslong, and others, after recovering their spiritual power during their spare time, entered the Illusion God Stele to train diligently.

For them, fighting inside the Illusionary God Monument is more effective than sitting here and mindlessly practicing.

After all, the reason for coming to this Mystic Realm of Illusion is to take advantage of the special nature of the Illusionary Divine Stele. If it's just about meditation and cultivation, there are several places in the academy with more concentrated star power.

With each challenge, the levels that King Oslong and the wooden sword boy and others reached steadily increased.

On the third day, the wooden sword boy had already broken through to the eightieth floor.

The Dragon Emperor was also in front of the 80th floor, in sight.

On the seventh day, the boy with the wooden sword reached the 83rd floor.

The Dragon Emperor has also reached the 80th floor and is now striving for the 81st floor.

Others, such as Saintess Chiba and King Oslong, are also around level 78, slightly behind by one or two levels.

Su Ping sat on a stone chair atop the mountain, somewhat addicted to cultivation, frantically absorbing the star power beneath the chair to sketch his first star map.

As for training inside the Illusionary God Stele?

He had already undergone countless life-and-death trials in cultivating the world, so this special training method that only consumed spirit without causing death was neither surprising nor attractive to him.

With his ranking on the 96th floor and the bonus points from the entire Illusionary God Monument, Su Ping's figure still loomed like a mountain, pressing down on all the geniuses.

Many people who came out of the Illusionary God Stele subconsciously looked towards the mountain peak. When they saw Su Ping sitting there cultivating, they felt a little strange, as if they were being looked down upon, but at the same time, they felt relieved.

"Why is this guy always cultivating and not challenging the Illusion God Monument anymore?"

"Even if we don't take on the challenge, we could at least train inside. This is such a rare opportunity; it would be a waste to just meditate and cultivate there, wouldn't it?"

The seven star lords also found this scene strange.

If you come to the Mystic Realm of Illusion but don't make good use of the time to cultivate within the Illusion God Stele, what is the point of coming here?

Some speculate that Su Ping may have used some kind of secret technique with serious consequences on his first day of attempting to break through to the Illusion God Stele, which is why he is recuperating during this period.

This view was accepted by many people, which made some people feel less pressured about Su Ping's achievement of taking the top spot on the leaderboard with 96 floors.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The wooden sword boy has already reached the 88th floor!

He was close to the 90th floor, but a week ago he had been stuck at the 88th floor. He had been going in and out of the Illusionary God Monument every day for the past week, but he still hadn't been able to reach the higher 89th floor. Clearly, this was already close to his limit.

The Dragon Emperor was very close behind, with a score almost identical to the Dragon Emperor's, only slightly lower, placing him in third place.

The Dragon King of Aus is ranked fourth. It is also a Dragon-type Illusion God Stele, but it is one level lower than the Dragon Emperor.

The others were slightly behind King Oslong, but not by much.

"He's still cultivating..."

The wooden swordsman emerged from the Illusionary God Stele and, as was his habit, looked towards the mountain peak. He saw Su Ping still sitting in the light array, cultivating without moving an inch.

Aside from rushing to the 96th floor on the first day after arriving at the Mystic Realm, Su Ping had been in seclusion ever since.

He didn't quite believe the rumors circulating outside, but he had another worry in his heart: Could it be that Su Ping had gained some insights during his sprint to the Illusion God Stele and was in seclusion to comprehend them during this period?

Once this thought appeared in his mind, it grew uncontrollably, making his heart feel somewhat heavy.

He rarely paid attention to others in the past, focusing only on his own swordsmanship, but here, he couldn't help but pay attention to Su Ping.

"It's been a month, and I still haven't caught up with his score on the first day..." The wooden sword boy took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, and flew to the mountain peak to prepare for training and recovery.

Not long after, the Dragon Emperor, who had emerged from the Dragon Illusion God Stele, also looked up at the mountain peak. When he saw that Su Ping was still sitting there, he snorted coldly in his heart and flew to his seat.

Time passed quickly. As Su Ping meditated and secluded himself every day, the other students gradually stopped paying attention to him and focused their attention on the active Dragon Emperor, the wooden sword boy, the Dragon King of Aus, and others. At the same time, they were also working hard to break through the Illusion God Stele and fight and hone their skills inside.

On the points monument, apart from the unshakeable first place, the competition for the second to tenth places was extremely fierce. During this period, the Dragon Emperor overtook the Wooden Sword Boy twice, but was caught up again. For most of the time, he was always one step ahead of the Wooden Sword Boy.

However, having experienced those two comebacks, Dragon Tomb Academy was able to hold its head high when facing Sword Venerable Academy.

"After a while, some people will come to visit the secret realm and cultivate at the same time. However, they will stay for only half a month. You can cultivate on your own and don't need to pay attention to them."

One day, the Lord of the Mysterious Realm brought news.

The geniuses were slightly surprised, but they didn't pay much attention. After all, the Illusionary Mystic Realm was an S-class cosmic secret realm, which would not only host them, but also many geniuses from various forces in the universe.

In the days following the Star Lord's notification, interstellar spaceships began arriving at the secret realm. Among them were spaceships from the five major academies, carrying students who were all exceptionally talented geniuses within their respective academies. Although slightly inferior to the top figures in those academies, they were still first-rate geniuses who came here for training.

However, the intensity of their training was different from that of Su Ping and his group, who were preparing for the Star System Selection Competition.

In addition to the five major academies, there were also geniuses sent by various forces within the galaxy.

Some are descendants of a certain star lord's family, and some are prodigies cultivated by a certain organization; they all gather here.

"Is that area where the prodigies of the five major academies reside?"

"I heard they arrived a while ago, secured a direct entry spot, and are preparing for the upcoming galactic selection battle!"

"Tsk tsk, I wonder what level they are at. It's a pity I didn't go to the five major academies, otherwise I would really like to meet these people."

Many geniuses who entered the secret realm were quite curious and interested in the area where Su Ping and the others were cultivating, but with the star lords of the five major academies guarding it, no one dared to approach rashly.

"That looks like a points marker!"

"Wow, the top challenger is actually the All-Element Illusionary God Monument, and it's on the 96th floor?!"

"Is 96 stories a lot?"

"That's not just exaggerated, it's impossible! Do you know the master of this secret realm, the Illusionary Hunter God? He challenged all 99 levels of the Illusionary God Monument, and after clearing them, he gained the qualification to control the secret realm and became its master!"

"...Really? Does that mean if this person challenges three more levels, he'll be able to rival that Illusion Hunter God?"

Some geniuses who had never been to the Mystic Realm before were all terrified.

The God of Illusions is a deified being!

And not far in front of them, someone was actually very close to the achievement of a god.

Many people were initially quite dissatisfied with those prodigies who were directly admitted, but now, seeing the results on the points monument, they were all somewhat stunned. No matter how prodigies or arrogant they were, they dared not believe that they had a chance to become gods!

The Investiture of the Gods is so far away; to even reach the Star Lord realm is like finding a needle in a haystack, as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"It's him..."

In the crowd, Koro was stunned. He had also been sent by the academy, but he never expected that the top spot he saw in this mysterious realm of illusion would not be King Oslong or any other prodigy from the academy, but rather the guy who had intimidated him with a single punch and made him afraid to fight again.

He actually managed to overpower King Auslong and suppress all the geniuses from the five academies, firmly holding the top spot!

He recalled his actions when he ignored the clan chief's advice and tried to take action, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He wished he could slap himself twice.

"snort!"

On the monument mountain, some geniuses who were cultivating saw the various forces that had just arrived pointing and talking about this place in the distance. Some of them were disdainful, too lazy to pay attention to them, and too lazy to listen to what they were saying.

Time flies.

These geniuses from all sides who arrived at the Illusion God Monument halfway through their journey did not affect the challenges of the Dragon Emperor and others. Su Ping sat on the mountaintop and did not come out to challenge for a long time. They gradually stopped paying attention and focused on their own challenges and training.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The preliminary rounds of the Cosmic Genius Battle have concluded, even the small galaxy selection rounds are over, and the selection rounds for the Sylvie Galaxy have begun.

And this was also the day when the geniuses were about to leave the Mystic Realm of Illusion.

Those forces that arrived halfway through have long since left, and now only the members of the five major academies remain in the Mystic Realm of Illusion.

"We're on the 91th floor!"

"As expected of the Sword God's successor, he has finally achieved another breakthrough. His previous limit was probably 89 levels, and in just three months, he has risen two levels. This progress is truly astonishing!"

"He has a high level of comprehension; no wonder he was taken in as a personal disciple by the Sword God of the North Sea."

Before the Sword Dao Illusion God Stele, the wooden sword-wielding youth emerged, his face pale, seemingly having expended considerable energy.

His appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.

The Dragon Emperor, who was cultivating atop the mountain, frowned; the gap in points between his opponent and him had widened once again.

He suddenly stood up, preparing to rush into the Illusion God Stele.

But at that moment, his gaze suddenly changed, and he turned to look at a certain place. He saw that the young man who had been sitting in the light array for the past three months had actually walked out.

As Su Ping left the light array, the wooden sword boy noticed him, and following his gaze, everyone else also saw Su Ping. In an instant, all the eyes that had been focused on the wooden sword boy were now focused on Su Ping.
