Through those enormous, blood-red eyes, Qin Chuan saw a completely different scene—a place resembling a grand palace.
It was vast, luxurious yet imposing, possessing a dark quality. At the head of the hall, on a long, blood-red dragon-carved chair, sat a man dressed entirely in black. He
appeared to be middle-aged, his eyes closed, handsome, tall, and possessing an unparalleled aura. Sitting there, he exuded a mountain-like grandeur, like a solitary emperor in the empty hall.
Suddenly, as Qin Chuan looked at him, the middle-aged man opened his eyes—blood-red, radiating an aura of domineering ruthlessness and bloodlust.
Qin Chuan was slightly startled; those eyes truly shocked him. His heart skipped a beat. He knew that if he could see him, the other man could certainly see him too.
Those blood-red eyes were almost identical to those of the mysterious stone statue.
At this moment, those eyes held excitement, slight surprise, and a chilling, sinister coldness. Even with Qin Chuan's strong will, he felt a little uneasy.
There was no panic, but a slight unease lingered. The aura and impact emanating from the other party were too intense; with his current strength, he was no match.
Not at all; they were on completely different levels. However, Qin Chuan was certain the other party couldn't possibly reach this point. Although he didn't know what lay beyond, it certainly couldn't have reached here.
Therefore, Qin Chuan wasn't worried. He was even less concerned about the future; with his own strength, he wasn't afraid of anyone, regardless of who they were.
Suddenly, the man's eyes began to swirl, and for a fleeting moment, he felt as if his soul was being sucked away, causing him to tremble.
Almost instinctively, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed, a golden light appearing, and the Golden Divine Blade flew directly towards the mysterious stone statue's eyes.
The middle-aged man was startled, quickly withdrawing the terrifying attraction, and laughed, "Interesting, kid, you actually managed to block my soul-sucking. Not bad, not bad."
With that, his figure blurred, and his eyes closed. At this moment, Qin Chuan felt his body was soaked with sweat, and the mysterious stone statue closed its eyes.
Even with its eyes closed, Qin Chuan didn't intend to give up on the mysterious stone statue before him.
Qin Chuan was initially worried that the mysterious stone statue's eyes would open again, so he was on guard. However, after a while, the statue remained motionless.
This relieved Qin Chuan. The golden divine eye intrigued him; what kind of existence was it, so mysterious?
Suddenly, the demigod's divine spark that Qin Chuan had obtained long ago stirred within him, startling him and quickly making his eyes light up.
This was actually divine spark essence, used to enhance divine sparks and demigods! This excited Qin Chuan. He knew that demigods were the lowest level of existence, but this was just the beginning.
Even demigods and divine sparks were divided into different grades and levels; the higher the grade, the greater the power of the divine spark.
In fact, a demigod's divine spark is more accurately called a divine spark, the lowest level of divine spark. However, most people could only absorb a demigod's divine spark initially, and then upgrade it through essence and fortuitous encounters.
Moreover, there are actually many types of divine sparks, and each person receives more than one type, but can only possess one of each type. There are even dual super divine sparks.
While not the decisive factor, divinity is an undeniable force.
It offers vast potential for development and is highly practical. Therefore, it can be said that a martial artist's supernatural abilities, Dao, and divinity constitute the core of their combat power.
A martial artist's strength is measured by these factors, specifically the degree of their power.
Thus, the existence of divinity is an extremely important benchmark.
Qin Chuan was previously delighted to obtain a demigod, though it couldn't be of significant immediate use, despite its considerable benefits.
However, it couldn't be fully utilized immediately, as a demigod, while powerful, had a high barrier to entry and was merely the beginning of divinity.
This time, he encountered something that could upgrade a demigod, which greatly excited Qin Chuan. This item supposedly upgrades divinity, but a demigod cannot upgrade to divinity in one attempt, even after ten or twenty attempts.
Even so, this essence remains a goal pursued by individuals or martial artists. Furthermore, the essence's effect on demigod advancement is somewhat fluctuating, potentially raising it by one to three minor realms.
Whether it raises you by one or three levels depends on luck. With good luck, you can advance three minor realms at once; with bad luck, you'll still only advance one minor realm.
It can be said that this item's value is no less than a demigod, and even comparable to a god, since both demigod and godhood require this divine essence for advancement.
Qin Chuan placed his hand on the mysterious stone statue, and a stream of pure energy slowly entered Qin Chuan's body, gradually merging with the demigod within him.
Originally, Qin Chuan's demigod had always been a rather useless existence—somewhat ineffective, yet its actual usefulness was minimal.
Qin Chuan's demigod greedily absorbed the divine essence, like parched earth receiving sweet rain, undergoing a tremendous transformation.
Suddenly, the demigod emitted a dazzling golden light, breaking through—and not just a minor realm breakthrough.
Four!
This stunned Qin Chuan. Wasn't it only one to three? Wasn't the limit three? How could it be four?
Qin Chuan's demigod was now on the verge of reaching godhood, but the ability of this demigod left Qin Chuan unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Golden Armor Godhood.
This is a defensive divine spark, greatly increasing resilience and effectively defending against all attacks, including supernatural powers, Dao principles, treasures, and spiritual power.
However, it's purely defensive and has no effect on offensive attacks.
It's often said that the best defense is a good offense, but this is relative. In fact, for Qin Chuan, this golden armor divine spark is undoubtedly his best destiny.
Because Qin Chuan possesses the ability of "The Great Power of the World," his attacks become stronger with each strike. Therefore, only a strong defensive ability can prolong the battle, and as time goes on, Qin Chuan's attack power will continuously increase.
So Qin Chuan should be extremely happy to be the first to obtain the most suitable divine spark for himself; it's something many people envy.
Divine sparks are incredibly rare, and possessing one is something every martial artist desires, but less than one percent of martial artists possess them. Many of the divine sparks they possess are actually useless—they look impressive but have little practical use.
For example, a martial artist possesses a healing divine essence. It may seem useless, but it can also be useful, sometimes even saving their life. However, it's a double-edged sword for a martial artist. Even if they have the essence of the divine essence, they might not know whether to upgrade their healing divine essence, because they are a martial artist, not a healer.
