[God Realm]
As Zhang Yue and Xingtian hacked their way forward, cutting through thorns and brambles, by the time they reached the outer walls of the Blaze Dynasty's city, the dozens of emperor-class boss Hundred-Eyed Demon Bugs they had killed along the way had already rocketed Zhang Yue's level up to 350.
Yet from start to finish, it had only been a few dozen minutes.
In just a few dozen minutes, his level had gone from 300 to 350, a jump of 50 levels in one go.
Even Zhang Yue, before coming to the God Realm, had never dared to even imagine something like this.
It was simply way too ridiculous.
The top-tier gear, treasures, and skill books they had harvested from those emperor-class bosses were even more than he could count.
Any single one of these items, if brought back to the Otherworld, would be enough to shake the entire globe.
Zhang Yue increasingly felt that this God Realm was a treasure land.
Just as Zhang Yue was immersed in the joy of this bloody slaughter, Xingtian beside him was becoming more and more serious.
Staring at the Blaze Dynasty's city ahead, now not far off, Xingtian stopped in her tracks and said to Zhang Yue, "Everything before this was just a newbie challenge. Only once we reach here does the real battle begin."
At this moment, Zhang Yue's strength compared to when he had first stepped into the God Realm had already been boosted again by an enormous margin.
Because after his Transcendent Set evolved through the Divine Scroll, its nature had changed, becoming something that would upgrade as its host's level increased.
Previously, when Zhang Yue's level had been fixed at 300, the highest gear quality corresponding to that level range was 60-star, so the Transcendent Set's star level had also stayed at 60 stars.
Now Zhang Yue had already reached level 350.
In the level 350 range, the maximum star level for gear had already reached 71 stars.
So Zhang Yue's Transcendent Set had once again received a continuous increase of 11 star levels, leaping from 60 stars up to 71 stars.
With an 11-star boost, it was easy to imagine just how terrifying Zhang Yue's current strength was.
Right then, Zhang Yue suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Oh right, after clearing the God Tomb the third time, I was rewarded with a Divine Scroll and forgot to use it." [A/N: Yes, the main character forgot. The author refuses to take the blame for this.]
So Zhang Yue opened his inventory and took out the third Divine Scroll.
This was the Divine Scroll he had traded his life for.
The first two Divine Scrolls had respectively given Zhang Yue's Transcendent Set the power of infinite evolution, and upgraded all his skills to 10S-tier.
This made Zhang Yue full of anticipation for this third enhancement.
So Zhang Yue immediately crushed the Divine Scroll.
["Ding～ You used the Divine Scroll. Congratulations, you obtained the special ability: Physical Body Amplification!"]
The next moment, a panel popped up in front of Zhang Yue. The data displayed on it left him completely dumbfounded.
[Physical Body Amplification: All power-boosting effects the player has obtained through the Otherworld are increased to tenfold.]
Tenfold amplification!
Zhang Yue hurriedly opened his status panel. He saw that his attack, defense, HP, and even advanced attributes like bonus damage, damage reduction, armor-break resistance, and magic penetration had all received a tenfold boost on top of their original values.
This amplification effect was equivalent to: originally, Zhang Yue gained 100,000 attack power through leveling up, but now, with this amplification effect, it would become 1,000,000.
If one piece of gear gave him 5,000,000 HP, Physical Body Amplification would boost it to 50,000,000.
Put simply, it was a tenfold amplification to all attributes.
And it was a final-value bonus.
Too broken.
Zhang Yue couldn't help exclaiming.
Right now, Zhang Yue felt he was absurdly, overwhelmingly strong.
At this moment, Xingtian's gaze burned as she stared ahead and said in a deep voice, "They're here."
As soon as she finished speaking, following Xingtian's line of sight, Zhang Yue looked ahead and saw, from the direction of the Blaze Dynasty's main city, a large group of flame riders mounted on Blaze Warhorses, holding long spears, galloping straight toward them.
Xingtian said, "These are the Blaze Dynasty's lowest-ranked flame soldiers. Only by wiping them out will we have a chance to enter the main city."
Zhang Yue grabbed his staff and said, "Then let's begin."
With that, Zhang Yue whooshed his angel wings open.
Inside his body, a mighty force was on the verge of bursting out.
An incomparable aura of power spread from his body, to the point that even Xingtian felt it was far from ordinary.
"This is…", Xingtian sized Zhang Yue up, secretly thinking, "What terrifying power."
Zhang Yue glanced back at Xingtian and calmly said, "You rest for now. Leave them to me."
Then, flapping his angel wings, he soared into the air like a war god.
The next moment, he leaped forward, flying straight toward the flame army ahead.
Once he entered attack range, the flame soldiers all hurled the flame spears in their hands at the airborne Zhang Yue.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless flame spears engulfed Zhang Yue in an instant.
Zhang Yue remained calm in the face of danger, raised his staff, and began to cast.
However, before he could finish casting the spell…
The very next second, his vision went black.
His consciousness cut out.
When Zhang Yue came back to himself again, he found himself surrounded by that familiar flame.
'Dead again? What the hell!'
He had actually been one-shotted?
Zhang Yue scrambled to his feet, utterly stunned.
He had clearly already obtained the tenfold Physical Body Amplification effect. How could he still be one-shotted by that group of flame soldiers?
This didn't make sense at all.
After all, even before getting Physical Body Amplification, Zhang Yue had been able to easily deal with emperor-class bosses dozens of levels higher than himself.
Even if those flame soldiers were level-500 emperor-class bosses, they shouldn't have been able to one-shot him, right?
Just as Zhang Yue was completely baffled, Xingtian, who had just finished casting the revival spell on him, said, "I told you, don't underestimate the strength of those flame soldiers."
Zhang Yue asked, "What rank are those flame soldiers?"
"Beyond emperor-class," Xingtian said, "Domain-class."
"Domain-class bosses?", Zhang Yue was dumbfounded.
What kind of rank was that?
'So emperor-class isn't the end? There are beings in the Otherworld even stronger than emperor-class?'
Xingtian said, "Let me explain a bit more. Domain-class strength is more than ten times greater than emperor-class. And above Domain-class, there are two more tiers: Eternal-class and Galactic-class."
"That group of flame soldiers that one-shotted you just now are the lowest-level soldier type of the Blaze Dynasty."
Xingtian's words completely shattered Zhang Yue's confidence.
They also refreshed his understanding of this world all at once.
Then Xingtian went on, "It seems that with just our strength alone, we can't break through a dynasty and obtain its core."
"Our compatibility is too low. We can't bring out our full power."
Zhang Yue realized that he was the one dragging things down and couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed.
But Xingtian said, "There's nothing wrong with you. The problem is that our compatibility doesn't work."
"We need someone whose compatibility with you is higher, or whose compatibility with me is higher, to break this stalemate."
