Chapter 314 Progress So Far 2

With regards to the Revenant universe that caused Portia's death, both Dante and Portia pretended like they did not exist for now. They allowed them to grind down Dante's troops and provide them with field training, but neither of the two who could likely wipe out the entire universe made a move.

After all, they had other things to focus on right now, and they wanted to deal with those fellows slowly and methodically, carving out their flesh inch by inch while they screamed in agony. When that time came, the Revenant Universe would pray for a quick death.

As for Dante's Martial Artist Army, it was something inspired by Beatrice again. After settling down with Antonia in the First Gate, Dante finally managed to pressure Beatrice to accept the Heavenly Scroll of Infinite Paths, which would awaken her latent Internal and External Arts abilities in reality.

Beatrice took the Divine Empress Fist for her External Art since her preferred weapon was her hands and the underlying element was that of the holy one. It was just as potent and powerful as the Raging Blood Halberd Technique Dante had, which could easily lead her to the Martial God realm.

And in fact, with no distractions over the course of the year unlike Dante, who had to jump about here and there back then, coupled with her high stats, Beatrice had already reached peak Martial God and had even surpassed Dante's blood qi accumulation a little.

After all, she diligently cultivated that single power system every day when she was alone, while Dante had stopped cultivating it altogether and only relied on stats to raise it.

What was more impressive was her Internal Art, the Luminous Ascension Technique! It was the holy element counterpart of his Inferno Ascension Technique, and while there were other radiant element arts Beatrice could have chosen, she intentionally chose this one to match her husband!

[Luminous Ascension Technique - Stages for the Technique

Level 1 - Radiant Initiation: This is the initial stage that allows one to embark on the path of Inner Radiance. The practitioner ignites the spark of their spiritual essence, forging a connection to radiant energy. The resulting Inner Light takes root within the dantian and emits a gentle, luminescent glow. This grants the user the ability to wield basic radiance for various applications.

Level 2 - Celestial Illumination: The user's mastery deepens, and their connection to Radiant Energy strengthens. They invoke the brilliance of celestial radiance, allowing their consciousness to transcend their physical form and manifest a spiritual aura. The strength of this aura is directly linked to the user's mental fortitude.

Level 3 - Virtuous Radiance: With each step forward, the practitioner fans the flames of virtue and nobility, enabling them to influence the thoughts and emotions of others briefly, depending on the purity of their intentions. Strikes infused with virtuous radiance deal profound spiritual harm, bypassing physical defenses with ease.

Level 4 - Compassionate Luminescence: The radiant flames of Compassion empower the user to absorb and purify the life force, spiritual essence, and mental energy of selected targets, transforming it with the purest radiance to create nourishment for themselves. They can also share this converted and purified essence with others, granting various beneficial effects.

Level 5 - Enlightened Resonance: Upon reaching this level, the practitioner can harness the harmonious flow of enlightenment, creating additional dantians to accommodate more Inner Energy. Their Inner Energy capacity surges significantly, doubling or more, based on their constitution and the number of activated sub- dantians.

Level 6 - Serene Blaze of Tranquility: The user taps into the tranquil fires of Serenity, channeling their inner calm and peacefulness into raw power. Strikes imbued with serenely radiant energy become nearly unstoppable. The practitioner can momentarily enter a state of profound serenity, rendering them impervious to pain and bestowing rapid regeneration and a direct power boost, at least doubling their strength, depending on their inner tranquility.

Level 7 - Sanctified Illumination: At this stage, the practitioner gains the ability to manipulate their sacred radiance in ways that defy conventional martial arts. The sanctified essence of radiance, upon contact with an opponent, purifies their mind and spirit, transforming them into Lesser Angels under the user's control.

Level 8 - Resplendent Tempest: Drawing from the peacefulness of Inner Radiance, the user creates a tempest of radiant energy, enveloping their dantian and greatly amplifying the purity and potency of Inner Energy. This radiant tempest allows for passive cultivation and facilitates the efficient use of Inner Energy for large- scale, low-cost area-of-effect attacks.

Level 9 - Luminous Mirage Mastery: The user, at this level, becomes a master of weaving illusions with radiant energy, crafting deceptive mirages that bewilder and misguide adversaries. This expertise in deception allows them to generate radiant duplicates capable of autonomous action, serving various purposes.

Level 10 - Ascendant Luminary Awakening: The zenith of the Luminous Ascension Technique merges the radiance of all preceding levels into a transcendent blaze. The practitioner becomes a vessel of pure luminosity, radiating an aura that envelops the surroundings. In this state, Inner Energy condenses and transforms into Radiant True Qi, an exceptional and unparalleled energy comparable to the Spiritual Energy of Immortal Realms.]

In a year, Beatrice had already reached the 10th level and created her Radiant True Qi. Because she mostly focused on raising Antonia and had lost her drive for battle, she did not create any Lesser Angels of her own nor did she fight much on the frontline, but she occasionally sparred with Dante's quantum clone since they had the same stats.

However, it was difficult for her to keep up even though her Blood Qi was superior to his and her True Qi was slightly more refined because even if Dante did not use magic, he could not suppress his Life Essence as a knight nor his Concoction of Absorption, which gave him near limitless energy to fight.

Because of this, Dante's words in trying to convince her to take on new superpowers or fix her current ones made her waver. In as much as Beatrice was tired of battle, she also did not want Dante to surpass her too much until she became a typical flower vase heroine in the shows she watched.

Back then, when she was alone, she always insulted those heroines as useless since she was in her violent phase of life and did not love anyone. Now that she was here, she understood how these heroines felt, but she also knew she could not take the same path as them in the end.

While she pondered this, an event occurred 2 months ago that shook the Eternal universe. After their wanton conquering, Portia had increased her captured ten-itories to 1,098 in total while Dante had taken down over 3,998 territories.

Coupled with those from before, they had over 5000 territories now, and while many of the early ones only gave 1 Chaos Will Unit due to the basic capture, all of Dante's nearly 4,000 territories were at the Grandmaster rank, paying out 10,000 Chaos Will!

The exact number of territories and their difficulties were:

3998 territories = 39,980,000 Chaos Will per year.

1063 territories = 1063 Chaos Will per year.

50 territories = 500 Chaos Will per year.

Usually, most universes earned Chaos Will in 1 point or 10 points per year, even the top ones. So having nearly 40 million territories like the number 1 Holy Universe meant around 40 to 50 million Chaos Will per year, giving their universe great benefits over time.

However, through Dante's work over this time, the Eternal Universe practically earned the same Chaos Will as the Holy Universe!

Please remember, before Portia was brought back, they only had 15 territories total, all giving only 1 Chaos Will unit! Even then, as Levi said, the Eternal Universe's will was able to manage operations and even have some savings on the side.

It was only when Portia came back and exploded in power, increasing the costs, and Antonia, who was coming to add new heavy bills due to her exceptional talent, that the Eternal Universe had to overspend to maintain them.

A person who received a yearly salary of $15 and was able to get everything they wanted and even save some now received around $40 million without any inflation or change in objective value of the currency.

What do you think would happen to them?

There was an explosion in the Eternal Universe two months ago on the 1st of January of 11000. From the center of the universe to the very edges, a wave of strange power erupted that struck every being and every planet within the universe, causing them to undergo great changes.

The changes were not immediate, but various medical records said that each and every species saw a steady increase in SDI values, and newborns during this time had an increased 30% chance to be born with a random special ability, while there was a 5% chance to awaken a superpower across all species!

This was across the entire known universe, consisting of a zillion and more beings!
