Chapter 1892: God For An Instant!

All of the 10 abyssal sovereigns had their own trump cards, and they were able to truly draw upon the power of the abyssal plane.

The ball of light that the Black Sovereign had just summoned was the planar core that belonged to her abyssal level.

Each abyssal ruler was the core of their corresponding abyssal level, and if a core were to be destroyed or devoured, then the entire level would be doomed.

However, after attaining the sovereign status, abyssal rulers would be able to draw upon this power, which meant that they could focus all of the energy in their entire abyssal level on themselves. Essentially, she was devouring and absorbing the power of all of her brethren and feeding it to herself.

Why was it that the Spirit Sovereign was able to further elevate his spiritual power from the Divine Origin realm to a higher level during his battle against Gu Yuena? This was precisely because he had also drawn upon the power of his abyssal level at the time, temporarily taking all of the power of the entire Abyssal Spirit Dragon Race for himself.

Taking this measure would allow an abyssal sovereign to instantly enhance their powers drastically, but there was also a very prominent downside, which was that it was impossible to recover from this type of exertion; it would take many years or an enormous amount of life energy for the abyssal plane to recover on its own.

Furthermore, if the Black Sovereign were to use this power for any extended period of time, then her abyssal level would be taxed so severely that her entire race would fall in the abyssal rankings, in which case she would no longer be an abyssal sovereign. If she were to push the duration even longer and completely exhaust the power of the planar core, then the entire Black Empress Race would be destroyed. 

Thus, the Black Sovereign would never use the power of her planar core unless there was absolutely no other alternative.

Guan Yue’s expression changed slightly at the sight of the impossibly heavy purplish-black ball of light that had been hurled toward him, and he retreated slightly before gripping onto his Sky Crossing Divine Spear with both hands, then made an upward swiping motion.

He appeared to be moving very slowly, but his movements were very calm and steady. The tip of his spear struck the ball of light, and it was diverted up into the sky.

Right at this moment, the Demonic Sovereign returned, and the Dark Heaven Domain appeared. Under the enhancement of the Dark Heaven Domain, the Black Sovereign’s aura swelled drastically, and even her planar core began to glow more brightly as it came crashing down again like a shooting star.

Guan Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see Dong Zi’an throwing himself at the Demonic Sovereign and the Rising Sun Heavenly Zither struggling to withstand the Dark Heaven Domain.

If he were to make a big move, then it had to be now!

The overall power of both sides was very close, but on a one-on-one basis, the human camp was still at a clear disadvantage.

The death of the Sickle Emperor hadn’t managed to shake the foundation of the enemy camp, but if the Rising Sun Heavenly Zither were to be overwhelmed here, then it would be next to impossible for the human camp to attain victory.

“Come!” Guan Yue suddenly roared as his Sky Crossing Divine Spear turned a scorching white color. At the same time, raging flames began to burn over his entire body.

He had just ignited his four-word battle armor! Just like Nan Gongyi, he had ignited his own battle armor without any hesitation, completely unleashing the battle armor’s power.

A white hexagram appeared beneath his feet, and in that instant, his essence, energy, and spirit were immediately elevated to a peak. His eyes began to glow with brilliant light, and enormous vitality surged through his body. In that instant, it was as if he had returned to his youth.

His body was rejuvenated and returned to a youthful appearance, and even though he wasn’t strikingly handsome, there was a special ethereal disposition about him.

He took a step forward, and it really was as if he had crossed the entire sky as he thrust his Sky Crossing Divine Spear forward in what appeared to be a very slow and steady strike, but was actually as fast as lightning.

A stunned look appeared on Demon Sovereign’s face as she appraised the battle from afar.

As soon as those flames were ignited on Guan Yue’s body, she was struck by the exact same feeling that she had experienced back when she was making her breakthrough. Furthermore, Guan Yue was making a breakthrough in both his spiritual power and soul power at the same time, which meant that in this instant, Guan Yue was no longer a quasigod; he was now a true god!

The entire process had seemed so simple, as if he had just completed this near impossible breakthrough without actually putting in any effort.

The spear strike that he was unleashing now was his first attack as a true god, and all of his essence, energy, and spirit was concentrated in this single spear strike.

Never did the Black Sovereign think that Guan Yue would be able to unleash an attack like this at this critical juncture, and even Guan Yue himself was in a very profound state.

Countless thoughts were surging through his mind, and he felt as if he had returned to his younger days.

He had always possessed exceptional aptitude, and in terms of potential alone, he was on par with the likes of Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming.

Yun Ming had once told him that all he was lacking was a competitive heart; his personality was simply too placid. Thus, even if he could reach the peak, he would’ve gotten there through a different path from Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming.

Guan Yue had always been the epitome of placidity and consistency, and cultivation had become an essential part of his daily life. Every single day, he was striving to improve himself, and no one had a more solid foundation than he did in the Soul Master world.

All of his improvements and breakthroughs were very natural, and there was nothing forced about them.

However, after becoming a quasigod, he hadn’t attempted another breakthrough like Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming had strived for.

Did he yearn for the godly level? Of course he did.

However, he wanted to remain true to himself and complete the breakthrough naturally rather than trying to force the matter.

Thus, even after becoming a quasigod, he still cultivated arduously every single day, not stopping or getting discouraged due to a lack of progress. He was constantly accumulating, but he never attempted a breakthrough.

He knew that he didn’t possess the sharp edge that came naturally to Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, so there was no way he would succeed even if he were to attempt a breakthrough. Thus, he continued to cultivate and experience the world around him.

He couldn’t reach the godly level, but all quasigods were able to sense the existence of that level. Among all of the quasigods, he was the most steadfast and conscientious, so he was able to experience the world on a deeper level than anyone else.

Thus, he slowly came to find his own path.

Even as he continued to age, he was getting no closer to a breakthrough, and he knew that there was no way he would attain godhood in this lifetime. However, he wasn’t overly disappointed by this. Furthermore, he had decided that he was definitely going to find an opportunity in this lifetime to reach the godly level, even if it were only for a single instant, just to experience what it would be like.

He couldn’t truly make a breakthrough, but if he were to let go of everything, he would be able to temporarily reach that level by igniting the core and essence of his being.

Through the instantaneous sublimation of his power, he would be able to temporarily reach the godly level.

The duration would be very short, but the possibility only existed due to his decades of consistent accumulation. If another Limit Douluo were in his shoes, they could ignite every single cell in their body and it would still be impossible for them to reach that level.

Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie had chosen to do everything in their power to try and make a true breakthrough, while Guan Yue had chosen to reach that level for only an instant.

Even he didn’t know how long he would be able to last after reaching the godly level, but that wasn’t important; he had already made up his mind to attempt this before his body gave out, and this was one of the few dreams he had in life.

This dream was about to be fulfilled on this very day!
