Chapter 1517: Promotion to First-Order Supreme God! Lord Law Technique - Nine-Five Supreme! King!

Chapter 1517: Advancing One Rank to Supreme God! Lord's Technique - Supreme Ruler! King!

"It was just my imagination."

The Heavenly Punishment God nodded, his face once again softening into the familiar smile.

The Supreme Will said no more, dividing forty thousand Supreme Divine Artifacts to the Heavenly Punishment God, then vanishing entirely.

After the Supreme Will disappeared, the Heavenly Punishment God stared at the world ring now filled with forty thousand Supreme Divine Artifacts, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips. Then, unable to hold it in any longer, he burst into laughter.

"Thunder Emperor!"

He stopped laughing suddenly and issued the command.

In the next instant,

a divine being wrapped in swirling purple divine lightning appeared before him.

"Lord Commander of the Heavenly Punishment Legion—Thunder Emperor, bowing to the Majesty!"

He bowed respectfully.

"Summon all the Supreme Deities, including the solitary Supreme Deities, and have them all come to my army's arsenal, and tell them that I have something of immense benefit to discuss with them!"

The Heavenly Punishment God spoke with bold confidence.

With these forty thousand Supreme Divine Artifacts, He intended to deliver a harsh blow to this race of illusion.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Thunder Emperor was curious, yet said nothing further, and immediately dispatched his subordinates to summon the Supreme Deities.

...

The next day.

In the Realm of the Sun's Glory, within the Palace of Cycles.

Zhou Zhou sat in meditation upon the enlightenment cushion, contemplating the Law of the Lord.

Before him floated a book radiating noble, violet luminescence—the Sacred Tome of Will!

Upon his chest, a faint white glow pulsed, that of the Supreme Heart!

With the aid of these two divine treasures—the Sacred Tome of Will and the Supreme Heart—Zhou Zhou’s cultivation had ascended at a speed approaching rocket propulsion.

At that moment,

Zhou Zhan slowly opened his eyes.

And there, his eyes had transformed into a pair of blazing golden dragon eyes.

The radiance emanating from those golden dragon eyes surpassed the sun in brilliance, and surpassed holiness in dignity!

The very next instant,

Zhou Zhou erupted into a beam of golden light, shooting forth from the divine palace, piercing straight through the endless starry sky of the Divine Realm.

When the golden light faded, a magnificent Eastern Dragon, born with nine dragon legs each bearing five dragon claws, emerged and hovered among the stars.

He measured nine ten thousand light-years in length; a single movement caused the heavens and stars to tremble.

Roar!

A thunderous dragon's roar burst forth, spreading across every realm and being in the cosmos in a manner beyond comprehension. Especially among those beings bearing the title of Lord, they suddenly found themselves confronted with a vast, vivid scene—of this Eastern divine dragon soaring through the heavens.

They gazed upon the nine-tailed golden dragon, their hearts overwhelmed by an uncontrollable sense of reverence, even a deep, silent submission.

By the time they realized what had happened, a cold shiver ran through them.

What had happened to me?

How could I, without reason, feel such a desire to submit to the Supreme Sovereign of the People?

At the same time,

this extraordinary phenomenon did not merely affect ordinary lords across the myriad realms.

Even the Wàn Xié Mā Zhǔ, the Chūnqiū Fǎ Zhǔ, and the Tiān Chéng Shén Wáng turned with astonishment toward the direction of Jiāo Yáng Shén Dū.

"My fourth brother has apparently uncovered another magnificent law technique once again," said the Tiān Chéng Shén Wáng, smiling.

At the same time,

the Supreme Will, constantly shifting through the ultimate void, seemed to sense something, turning toward a certain direction behind him.

A smile flickered across His face.

"Such a truly supreme Nine-Five Sovereign!"

...

Zhou Zhou gazed upon his current divine dragon form.

"I never thought that my fifth law technique would fuse together all of my dragon bloodline and the bloodlines of the celestial and mortal dragon deities, creating this magnificent Nine-Five Sovereign Dragon God form?"

"An unexpected delight, an unexpected delight indeed."

He murmured in astonishment.

Just moments ago, he had broken through—now, he stood firmly as a first-tier Supreme God!

And it was precisely through his creation of the fifth Lord's Law Technique—Nine Five Supreme—that he had elevated his own law to the rank of Supreme God's Law.

With a mere thought, the information of the technique appeared before him.

[Technique Name: Nine Five Supreme]

[Technique Rank: First-Class Supreme God]

[Technique Ability Summary: You stand atop the pinnacle of all Lords. You are the King of Lords, the absolute Supreme. When facing other Lords in conflict, all abilities directed at you will be weakened by 10%, with a 10% chance of being completely nullified. Your vassals, when accompanying you in battle, will see their combat power amplified by 100%. Other Lords, when encountering you, will feel an innate sense of reverence—sometimes even submission. Any opinion or suggestion you express will have a certain probability of being immediately accepted by them.]

[Those who stand against you will feel an innate terror; only the most resolute in will can resist such fear.]

[You may transform into the Supreme Dragon God, your physical form invincible, eternal and unbroken—unless all your soldiers fall or the gap between your power and your opponent's is so vast it cannot be bridged. In that case, you will never perish. When you manifest as the Supreme Dragon God upon the battlefield, you will randomly bestow divine blessings upon your troops, enhancing every aspect of their abilities.]

"Such a Supreme Sovereign indeed!"

"Nothing short of my fifth lord's technique!"

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

With this lord's technique, whenever he encountered other lords in the future, they would inevitably be three steps behind—just by virtue of being outclassed. And his own ability to manifest as the Supreme Dragon God was immensely powerful.

Body invincible, eternal and indestructible!

Unless all his soldiers have perished or the gap between his power and his opponent's is so vast it cannot be bridged, he will never fall.

Zhou Zhou sensed that such a power gap would not even include the near-omnipotent willful beings; it only applied when facing true Supreme Willful Beings—only then might his immortal Dragon God form be shattered.

With this in mind, Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

As for the divine blessing from the Supreme, that would only be known upon seeing it in the battlefield itself.

Then He glanced again at his other four lordly rule techniques.

First and foremost, naturally, was the one He relied upon most—the "King."

[Technique Name: King]

[Technique Rank: First-Class Supreme God]

[Technique Ability Overview: As a First-Class Supreme God on the Lord's Rule Path, you may mark 100% of the populace within a territory, and command five times their entirety—encompassing, but not limited to, appearance, bloodline, skills, weapons, techniques, even the intangible concept of fate.

When you command every aspect that the marked populace possesses, that individual will be free from any negative effects.]

"Wow."

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

The Lord's Law Technique, once ascended to the first rank of Supreme God, retained its original mark count yet now commands five times the sum of all that they possess!

Now, under His command, there are 31 subordinate Supreme Gods.

Thus, when He activates his first-rank Supreme God Technique—The King—He commands the combined power of 155 Supreme Gods!

"One hundred and fifty-five combined powers of Supreme Gods!"

"Even without relying on the ultimate beneath, the Nine-Five Supreme Dragon God Avatar, or the extreme method of self-sacrificial Supreme God artifacts, I'd still estimate I've reached the realm of near-ultimate willpower, wouldn't I?"

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.
