Chapter 249 Three Paths

A transcendent who could comprehend two domain laws was already a rare existence among fourth-ranks.

This step meant that they were not far from being "titled."

The vast majority of fourth-ranks would be stuck before this threshold for the rest of their lives...

And Qi Zhou ignited his ghost fire, desperately charging down the snow mountain, wanting to use this "resolve to die" to seek a glimmer of life in a desperate situation.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The legion commander's order spread throughout the White Whale Mountains.

The North Continent enforcers quickly moved aside... Wherever the strand of dark ghost fire passed, countless snow trees collapsed and shattered. Everyone made way, not out of fear.

If necessary.

They could use their bodies to stop Qi Zhou.

Not to mention a fourth-rank!

Even a titled expert, they would step forward!

But at this moment, their "desperate resistance" might not be a good thing.

Qi Zhou's "ghost fire domain" had already gained momentum. He was determined to break through today and advance to the titled rank. At this time, if the enforcer team clashed with him head-on, it would be like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

To break through, Qi Zhou's ultimate goal was the "legion commander." If he started killing at this moment, entering a state of invincibility, he might really have a very slim chance of completing the final "promotion."

Becoming titled, a drop of water pierces a stone.

He had already completed all the previous accumulation.

The "creation" he lacked, the legion commander did not want to give him in this battle...

"Whir!"

The snow tide rolled, Qi Zhou descended the mountain on the white waves. He was as if in a no-man's land... Indeed, there was no one around. His "ghost fire domain" expanded wantonly, and all the North Continent enforcers were hiding far away.

No one confronted him!

This situation was actually not bad... He didn't have to worry about being depleted of his strength before the final confrontation.

So the only enemy he needed to face was one!

...

...

The snow tide in the White Whale Mountains rolled more and more violently.

The sound of countless snow waves overlapping also echoed at this moment, rising and falling, and gradually becoming louder, like thunder approaching...

"Avalanche?"

"Avalanche!"

Voices of doubt and confirmation sounded in the North Continent enforcers' mental link.

Qi Zhou's desire to break through, the huge power he had accumulated, destroyed the balance here, triggering the collapse of this snow tide, causing an avalanche in the entire White Whale Mountains!

Most of the enforcers looked calm.

They maintained their formation and quickly carried out the "closing" action of this extermination... The avalanche was actually nothing. The transcendents who participated in this mission had basically reached the third-rank realm.

No matter how vast the natural avalanche was, it couldn't do anything to them.

Ordinary people, wearing source armor, could also guarantee safety.

Not to mention third-rank transcendents?

It was just that this avalanche seriously interfered with their vision... Countless white snow mists rushed down the mountains, and they couldn't see where the man who had stirred up this great snow tide had arrived.

Only those transcendents with strong enough mental strength could "see" the scene at the foot of the mountain.

.... Gu Shen put away the fire wall and watched quietly.

As a "pseudo-fourth-rank," after giving up the popular shortcut of the deep sea trial, he had been following the traditional North Continent "infiltration cultivation." His understanding of the division of high-level combat power had always been vague.

Therefore, Gu Shen wanted to know the gap between top fourth-rank transcendents... It was just that he usually didn't have this opportunity. Real top fourth-ranks were the face of a continent and would not easily fight.

Dividing transcendents into realms.

In the Twelve Layered Trials, the highest "level" was actually fourth-rank.

The fourth stage transcendent meant that they could still be evaluated. As for those powerhouses who passed all twelve levels of trials...

The Federal government would grant honors, and their level was collectively called "titled."

If a "fourth-rank" who had comprehended two laws could be considered invincible at this stage... then did it mean that Qi Zhou had a chance to challenge a titled expert at this moment?

Then, what about Lu Zhe and Jia Wei, these fourth-rank ultra-limiters, compared to him?

Taking it a step further.

It was the question that Gu Shen was interested in...

He had seen the scene of Legion Commander Ziyu attacking Grand Knight Jia Wei of Light City in the small courtyard on the Suspended Mountain.

Now, the legion commander was making a second move, and it was against another fourth-rank.

Although the two shots were different, and Ziyu's purpose and intensity were different... by comparing the different opponents of the same target, he could compare the difference in strength between top fourth-ranks.

At the moment of the avalanche.

The result that Gu Shen was waiting for appeared—

...

...

Countless snow tides rolled, and Qi Zhou, riding the snow tide, was like a sea-controlling god standing on the waves of the sea.

He was covered in black flames!

The North Continent enforcers were accustomed to wearing source armor when performing tasks to enhance their combat power.

For the people of the North Continent, source armor was the best body-protecting sealed object.

At this moment, the "black flame armor" on Qi Zhou's body was a domain protective gear comparable to a sixth-rank source armor. He condensed all the flames in his domain on this "black flame."

"Ghost fire" was different from ordinary natural abilities.

At this moment, the "black flames" wrapped around him and swaying constantly emitted waves of tearing space... These flames had actually derived characteristics related to the space system.

Unlike Yuan Zhong's ability, the first domain law that Qi Zhou mastered was not so perverted that it could teleport over long distances.

But he could tear a part of the space in the narrow surrounding area.

Snow fell on the black flame armor and disappeared instantly.

Not melted.

But directly "swallowed" by the torn space.

His aura continued to rise and rise. At this moment, he almost surpassed the defined scope of the twelfth level!

And his opponent.

Was a woman who looked "thin."

The legion commander stood alone in the heavy snow.

She had originally folded her arms. After walking out of the base, she slowly put her hands down, looked up at the overwhelming avalanche, and Qi Zhou, who was riding on the hundred-meter snow tide.

.... While waiting for the snow tide to come, she stood with her hands behind her back, and then closed her eyes.

The North Continent enforcers followed the order and dispersed in time.

So this avalanche finally arrived at the foot of the mountain at the fastest speed—

"Kill!"

Above the frozen tundra, a hoarse voice sounded. It was Qi Zhou who was stepping on the snow tide. He was wearing black flame armor. Where his hands were holding, countless dark streamers gathered and pieced together, colliding to form a huge greatsword.

Qi Zhou roared hoarsely, his aura magnificent.

From the White Whale Mountains all the way to the foot of the mountain, his aura had climbed to the extreme!

And Ziyu, who was standing firmly, did not move. Her cloak suddenly rolled up, and the surrounding cold wind swelled at this moment. The rolling cloak suddenly shattered and transformed into countless flames.

Open.

She rose with the wind, or rather, the snow on the soles of her feet was affected by the avalanche, like a dragon's ridge, undulating continuously.

For a time, the heights were staggered.

The snow tide lifted her high. Between the undulations, Ziyu and Qi Zhou reached the same level—

The two were not standing on the snowy mountains, but on the surface of a vast river. The river was undulating, and they were undulating with it, colliding with each other. Only in an instant, Ziyu quickly leaned over and pulled out the war knife from her waist. It was not a precious blade. As the legion commander of the investigation corps, she had countless sharp knives and swords.

But this time, she just randomly selected an ordinary war knife worn by ordinary soldiers from the base.

This knife was an ordinary knife.

This knife was also an ordinary... knife.

After a knife, the snow tide shattered. This rainbow-like avalanche also ushered in a second collapse at the foot of the mountain. The man stepping on the snow tide was cut off his head with one knife. What black flame armor, what combination of two laws, what transcendence... Under the knife of the North Continent Investigation Corps legion commander, it was almost fragmented.

The sky above the entire North Continent garrison base was dyed red.

The rolling snow tide encountered a dam at this moment. After the collision, it burned violently.

The red snow was scattered in the sky above the White Whale Mountains. This scene was very beautiful, so beautiful that it felt a little unreal...

Warm snow fell on Gu Shen's shoulders.

His expression was a little complicated.

In the face of this encirclement and suppression, Nagano sent out four titled experts... and North Continent only sent one.

But this one was strong enough.

There were also strengths and weaknesses between titled experts. Gu Shen's realm was not enough to see the specific depths.

Although he had not seen Old Man Gu, Gu Nanfeng, Bai Chen, and Gao Tian, these four Nagano titled experts, make their full moves... but Gu Shen, as a witness to the Mausoleum incident, always felt that although these four titled experts were powerful, their "power" seemed to be different from the legion commander in front of him.

But at this moment.

Ziyu's record, an ordinary war knife, instantly killed Qi Zhou, along with blocking the White Whale avalanche with a height of a hundred meters.

This was no longer the power that "mortals" could display.

"As we all know, the combat power represented by the North Continent's Three Great Generals is not at the same level as the secular 'titled'."

.... "Rust Bone, White Lizard, Silver Fox, have almost reached the level of transcendent beings."

In the spiritual sea, Chu Ling's voice slowly sounded.

"Don't forget, this female legion commander is known as the North Continent's future Fourth Great General. If you want to choose an opponent of the same level in Nagano, the four who are on this mission are not suitable."

"Old Man is old, Gu Nanfeng and Bai Chen are too young..." Gu Shen murmured, "As for Uncle Gao, as a free man, he doesn't care about the position he can reach at all."

"Yes."

Chu Ling said, "Gu Qilin at his peak, might be able to burst out with this level of combat power. Give Gu Nanfeng and Bai Chen some time, and they may be able to do this step. If you have to choose an opponent of the same level as Ziyu among the Nagano titled experts... probably Gu Lushan, who has been hiding his strength for twenty years, is the most suitable."

Gu Lushan...

From the Mausoleum incident, it could be seen that this madman was indeed more powerful than other titled experts.

"Really... eye-opening."

Gu Shen murmured, "I just wanted to see the difference in strength between top fourth-ranks at first... I didn't expect to have these 'unexpected gains'."

"Did you see it?"

Chu Ling smiled, she always understood Gu Shen's thoughts. However, with her huge computing power, some questions already had answers.

"I should have seen it."

Gu Shen said softly, "Jia Wei is stronger than Qi Zhou... Although the legion commander's two shots were different in strength, if Jia Wei were to resist the attack just now, I think even without the 'Bright Light Armor', he could withstand a knife."

"Let's start with the conclusion. Your hunch is right... Fourth-rank Ultra-limiter Jia Wei is indeed stronger than Qi Zhou. And putting aside sealed objects and all other external factors, in a real fight, Qi Zhou would be beaten to the ground by Jia Wei."

Chu Ling said calmly, "Do you know why?"

Gu Shen was a little confused, he shook his head.

"In the data from the small courtyard on the Suspended Mountain, I felt the fluctuations of three laws on Jia Wei's body. At the moment when he fought against Ziyu, he summoned the power of three laws."

"Three?!"

Gu Shen was shocked by the reason Chu Ling said.

Now, it was extremely difficult for Chihuo to cultivate a complete law... The formation of a domain was not just completed by comprehending it thoroughly.

The Fire of Life needed a huge amount of source material.

Gu Shen immediately asked, "Are three laws a prerequisite for fourth-rank Ultra-limiters?"

"If I use's perspective to answer... I would tell you that this question is beyond the scope of's calculation."

Chu Ling continued, "The reason why the deep-water area is not continuing to open testing is because at the fourth-rank stage, transcendents have mastered the 'power of the domain'. With the start of the domain war, the methods of cultivation and becoming stronger have also become more and more diverse... It is impossible to give a standardized, complete cultivation program."

"But if I change my identity, I can tell you... three laws are not a prerequisite for fourth-rank Ultra-limiters."

"Lu Zhe, as another 'fourth-rank Ultra-limiter'."

.... "The fluctuations of his laws are only two, very ordinary, and haven't even started to 'unite'."

Chu Ling said seriously, "The reason why Lu Zhe is an 'Ultra-limiter' is because the estimated scale of his spiritual sea is ten times that of Qi Zhou. In terms of the scale of the spiritual sea alone, many titled experts do not have such a large spiritual sea."

"I see."

Gu Shen recalled his previous peep into Lu Zhe. He could see the approximate scale of Zhong Yuan and Fisher's spiritual seas, but he could not see through this team leader at all!

Too much difference!

Gu Shen summarized: "So, what Ultra-limiters have to do is to complete a significant lead beyond the current realm in one aspect... either have one more domain; or have a wonderful encounter and have a huge spiritual sea; or comprehend a shocking perfect domain..."

"Yes."

Chu Ling said, "The further you go, the harder it is to maintain a high standard. And the rewards brought by Ultra-limiters are extremely rich. If you want to become 'top', you have to compare horizontally at the same level. As long as Qi Zhou's two domains are not united and he does not become titled, he will never want to beat Jia Wei, and he will never want to beat Lu Zhe."

"I understand..."

Gu Shen stood in the snow, pondered for a long time, and asked, "I have a question buried in my heart for a long time."

"Back then in the Mausoleum, Bai Shujian killed Gu Lushan. Mr. Bai Shu's strength..."

That was a duel between top titled experts.

If Gu Lushan was benchmarked against Legion Commander Ziyu, this kind of transcendent existence close to the limit of human beings.

Then Bai Shu...

How should it be calculated?

"Mr. Bai Shu has become a god now."

Chu Ling said softly, "And before becoming a god, he was the person closest to God."

Transcendental cultivation is a long "road to becoming a god."

Everyone wants to transcend the mundane.

But if you remove the seven supreme people, you will find that... the former Bai Shu was the climber standing at the highest point on this road to becoming a god.
