Chapter 184: God-level Powerhouses in the Demon Space
Lei Chen's figure silently vanished as if merging with the void, and the supreme majesty that enveloped heaven and earth also receded, as if it had never descended.
It wasn't until she confirmed that the Plane Master had truly left that Zhang Lexuan, who had been standing still, finally let out a slight breath, her taut mind relaxing a little.
Although Lei Chen's attitude remained peaceful, facing an existence who controlled the entire plane and could decide the fate of all beings with a single thought, the invisible pressure stemming from the difference in life essence and absolute authority still made her dare not be negligent in the slightest.
Now that the pressure had dissipated, she could more truly feel the surging divine power within her body, countless times purer and vaster than Soul Power, and the close connection with the mysterious 'Love' Law between heaven and earth. The 'myriad spirit synchronous moon' in her hand conveyed a warm sensation, connected to her mind, as if it were an extension of her new life.
However, her moment of tranquility did not last long.
"Lexuan!"
"Senior Sister!"
"Look, the pillar of light has disappeared!"
Excited and noisy shouts, accompanied by chaotic footsteps, approached from afar, breaking the tranquility of the Lakeside of the Sea God.
Led by several vice deans, a large number of Shrek Academy's inner court teachers, elite disciples, and even some reclusive elders who had been in seclusion for years, could not contain their excitement and curiosity. They surged from all directions like a tide, instantly surrounding the elegant small courtyard, making it impenetrable.
Everyone's faces were filled with irrepressible excitement, curiosity, and immense reverence. They had personally witnessed the pink pillar of light connecting heaven and earth and felt the sacred aura that warmed the mind and cleansed the soul. Now, their gazes towards Zhang Lexuan were no different from looking at a deity walking among mortals.
"Lexuan, did you... did you really succeed?" a white-haired, extremely senior vice dean asked with a trembling voice, his beard quivering slightly with excitement, tears glistening in his eyes.
He was one of the academy's elders who had watched Zhang Lexuan grow up, and his emotions were now complex and hard to describe.
Facing the surging crowd, Zhang Lexuan displayed a gentle and familiar smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze, just as in the past. However, this smile now carried an added sense of extraordinary tranquility and holiness.
She nodded lightly, her voice clear yet possessing a calming power: "Yes, Elder Li, I did not fail my mission, and fortunately broke through."
"Excellent! Heaven truly blesses our Shrek!" another, more hot-tempered vice dean couldn't help but punch the air and exclaim loudly, his voice booming with triumphant relief, "Hahaha! Our Shrek Academy finally has a God-level powerhouse of its own! Lexuan, you are the pride of our Shrek!"
These words instantly ignited everyone's emotions, and they all echoed in agreement, discussing excitedly.
"Indeed! It wasn't easy! Thinking back to these past few years, God-level powerhouses have appeared one after another on the continent. The Sun Moon Empire has Kong Deming, the Body Sect has Du Busi, the Soul Beast side has Di Tian and the Xue Di, and even the Evil Soul Master side probably has... But our Shrek, as the oldest and most profound academy on the continent, has always been absent from the God-level tier! This frustration has been suppressed for too long!"
"Now that Lexuan has become a god, I'd like to see who dares to underestimate our Shrek!"
"Senior Sister is mighty!"
The students were even more excited, their faces flushed. Zhang Lexuan had always been their revered Senior Sister, and now, having ascended to godhood, becoming a top existence in the academy and even the entire continent, a sense of shared pride filled the hearts of every Shrek student.
Facing the crowd's ecstasy and praise, Zhang Lexuan remained humble, smiling as she responded to every teacher and friend who came to congratulate her. Yet, she could clearly feel an invisible, subtle barrier, a 'divide between gods and mortals,' had quietly emerged between her and her once intimate companions.
This was the inevitable sense of distance brought about by the leap in life essence, not alienation, but a real presence. She sighed inwardly, understanding that from now on, she needed to fulfill her responsibilities to the academy and the plane with a new identity and perspective.
...
In the Plane Origin Sea, Lei Chen, who had already returned, still paid a slight amount of attention to the situation with Zhang Lexuan.
When he heard that vice dean praise Zhang Lexuan as "Shrek Academy's first God-level powerhouse," a faint smile flickered in his profound and calm eyes, and he shook his head slightly.
"The first?" he murmured to himself, "In terms of chronological order, she might only be the third."
His gaze penetrated layers of spatial barriers, looking towards the Demon Space, which had completely merged with the Douluo Plane and was now governed by Du Busi.
In the year that Zhang Lexuan had been in seclusion, striving for godhood, the Demon Space had already undergone a complete transformation.
After annihilating the demon creatures and dividing the vast, pure energy capable of creating two Second-Tier Gods, Mu En, Xuan Zi, and other powerhouses who participated in the battle did not return to the Douluo Continent. Instead, they all remained in the Demon Space, entering seclusion to digest the spoils of war.
One year, for these powerhouses at the pinnacle of mortality, under such superior conditions, was enough to bring about earth-shattering changes.
The first to benefit were the original three demigod powerhouses—Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui.
They already possessed incredibly profound foundations, and the energy they acquired this time was the most immense. After several months of seclusion, all three naturally broke through the level 100 chasm. The surging divine power fluctuations once startled the entire Demon Space, and their radiant, sacred aura even briefly dispelled some of the sulfurous mist in certain areas.
Following closely, Xuan Zi, Zhongli Wu, and other Limit Douluo were not to be outdone. They had already reached level 99, and their accumulation was more than sufficient. What they lacked was precisely the massive energy boost for that final push.
Not long after the three demigods broke through, they also, relying on their profound accumulation and the energy they received, successfully took that crucial step, attracting divine power to infuse their bodies and achieving godhood.
It wasn't just the two of them; several other level 98 Super Douluo, such as a royal enshrinement from the Star Luo Empire and a protector Douluo from the Heaven Dou Empire, also achieved breakthroughs one after another within this year. Some successfully advanced to level 99, becoming new Limit Douluo; and two particularly talented individuals with exceptionally deep accumulations even glimpsed a hint of divine opportunity, and although they did not directly become gods, they firmly stepped into the demigod realm, paving the way for their future.
It can be said that after this battle, the overall strength of the top powerhouses of the Douluo Plane who participated in the Demon Space cleansing achieved a collective leap. However, some of them had not yet fully refined the energy they gained from this expedition, so they remained in seclusion within the Demon Space. The commotion of their breakthroughs was also somewhat isolated by the spatial barriers, which is why it did not attract widespread attention on the Douluo Continent.
