Chapter 343: Three Extra Stages of God King Realm
Hu.
After passing through the spatial rift, Qin Jue felt as if the space in front of him had suddenly opened up. The first thing he saw was an endless gully that almost split the entire continent in half. Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed, making it a horrifying sight.
"This is…"
Qin Jue was puzzled.
"Ah! My palace! My herb garden!"
Kui Mie, who was following closely behind, screamed and hurriedly pounced forward. Unfortunately, he only found a shattered piece of tile on the side. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"How could this be?!"
Kui Mie roared towards the sky, his eyes almost splitting open. He looked as if he wanted to eat the person who had destroyed his herb garden and palace.
"…"
Although he was somewhat dumbfounded, Qin Jue suddenly reacted. Could it be that he was the one who caused this gully?
After all, the source of this gully happened to be connected to a spatial rift. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be caused by the aftershock of his punch.
On the other side, Kui Mie also thought of this and suddenly turned around, as if he wanted to fight Qin Jue to the death. However, in the next second, Kui Mie suddenly forced a smile and said, "Forget it, they're all useless things anyway."
Kui Mie's heart bled when he said this, but he had no choice but to act indifferent.
The palaces were secondary concerns. As long as he was willing, he could construct more at any time.
What was most important was his weapons and the herb garden in the palace!
Those were all good things that he had spent hundreds of thousands of years collecting from various places. In the end, they were all gone.
If it were anyone else, Kui Mie would have already fought the other party to the death, but Qin Jue was too terrifying!
Kui Mie could not muster the courage to fight at all!
After all, the other party had broken the realm barrier with a single punch. Just the aftershock alone had caused such great destruction. What would happen if it landed on him?
Kui Mie didn't dare to imagine it.
"Cough cough, where is the God Realm?"
In order to resolve the awkwardness, Qin Jue changed the topic.
"Senior, are you really going to the God Realm?"
Kui Mie's expression was rather strange when he heard this, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
"What's wrong? Can't I?"
Qin Jue frowned.
"Sure, but…"
Kui Mie hesitated.
"Speak."
"Yes!"
Kui Mie did not dare to disobey and explained, "The Heavenly Dao laws in that world are somewhat strange. They don't allow experts above the upper realm God King Stage to enter."
After a pause, he added, "I tried a few times, but I was pushed out. If Senior forced his way in, he might not be pushed out, but there's a chance the God Realm won't be able to withstand the pressure and will be directly destroyed."
"I see."
Qin Jue pondered for a moment and asked, "What realm is above the God King Stage?"
"Uh… what do you mean?"
Kui Mie was stunned.
Qin Jue was helpless and could only ask again.
"Senior, you don't know?"
The corner of Kui Mie's eyes twitched slightly, thinking that he had misheard.
With the strength Qin Jue had displayed just now, how could he not know about this?
Seeing Qin Jue remain silent, Kui Mie couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly said, "In fact, the God King Stage doesn't just have a lower realm and an upper realm…"
Under Kui Mie's explanation, Qin Jue quickly understood what was going on.
It turned out that there were three more stages in the God King Stage: Heaven Ascension, Dao Validation, and Dao Integration. They were also known as Heaven Ascension God King Stage, Dao Validation God King Stage, and Dao Integration God King Stage.
The current Kui Mie was at the Heaven Ascension God King Stage. The reason why he had devoured worlds everywhere was because he wanted to reach Dao Validation with evil techniques. Unfortunately, he had never succeeded.
Unlike before, after reaching the Heaven Ascension God King Stage, Kui Mie had gained more insights into the "Dao". Otherwise, no matter how much spirit qi he absorbed, he would not be able to break through.
Kui Mie knew this very well. He had already devoured countless low-level dimensions, but he was still far from reaching the Dao Validation Stage. He was even unable to cross it.
According to Kui Mie's deduction, since Qin Jue could break the realm barrier with a single punch, he had very likely reached the Dao Integration Stage. This was also why Kui Mie was so afraid because he had never seen a Dao Integration God King Stage expert before.
A Dao Integration God King Stage expert was a legendary being who could be said to be invincible in any dimension!
"Heaven Ascension, Dao Validation, Dao Integration…"
Qin Jue muttered to himself and looked down at his hands.
In fact, Qin Jue had never had any concept of his realm.
In the beginning, Qin Jue thought that he was at most slightly stronger than a Great Sage Stage expert, but after the series of events that happened later, Qin Jue realized that his strength far surpassed his understanding. What True God Stage or God King Stage expert? In front of him, they were almost no different from ants.
If Kui Mie was a Heaven Ascension Divine King, then what realm was he at?
Dao Validation? Dao Integration?
Or was he stronger?
Why did he possess such powerful strength?
Qin Jue didn't understand.
After calming down, Qin Jue indifferently said, "You don't have to worry about anything else. Take me to the God Realm."
"Yes."
Since Qin Jue insisted on going to the God Realm, Kui Mie naturally wouldn't stop him. In any case, he couldn't wait to send Qin Jue away.
However, what Kui Mie didn't know was that although Qin Jue was strong, he would still be fine. As long as Qin Jue didn't release his aura, he wouldn't alert the Heavenly Dao laws, nor would he affect the surrounding environment. Otherwise, the Spirit Central World would have long been unable to withstand the destruction.
Three minutes later, Kui Mie led Qin Jue and the others to an open space.
This continent was Kui Mie's private property, so there were no other living beings on it.
Before he could approach, he could already see the dense array formations and runes in the surroundings that covered an area of 5,000 kilometers. They were complicated, obscure, and difficult to grasp.
"This is the dimensional formation I built when I first connected to the God Realm. It's been tens of thousands of years since then. I wonder if it can still be used."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of black light shot out from Kui Mie's fingertip and fused into the ground.
Buzz!
In an instant, countless array formations and runes lit up, creating intense spatial fluctuations that spread out.
The spatial fluctuation lasted for a few seconds before it forcefully tore open a rift that gradually widened.
Seeing this, Kui Mie was overjoyed. "Hahaha, looks like it can still be used."
Crack!
Right at this moment, one of the array formations suddenly collapsed, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated.
After losing an array formation, the spatial rift immediately produced layers of ripples that faintly showed signs of shrinking.
"…"
"Hu, fortunately, there's still one more."
Kui Mie heaved a sigh of relief.
Crack! Crack!
As if a fuse had been lit, more and more array formations collapsed, and the spatial rift became more and more unstable, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"…"
Kui Mie's expression changed drastically. He wanted to remedy the situation, but it was already too late.
Seeing that the spatial rift was about to close, golden light bloomed, instantly enveloping all the array formations, runes, and spatial rifts. The spatial rift that was about to close forcefully stabilized!
"…"
Kui Mie did not know how many times he had been shocked today. The other party could even forcefully stabilize the collapsed array formation. Was this the strength of a Dao Integration God King Stage expert?
How terrifying!
"A familiar aura. I knew it."
Qin Jue smiled and said, "Let's go home."
Just as Qin Jue was about to cross the spatial rift and enter the God Realm, a figure flew out!
"???"
What was going on?
Boom!
The figure smashed straight into the distant mountain peak, raising smoke and dust that filled the sky and blocking one's vision.
"…"
