Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 192 - 152: Before Ascension Heavenly Brilliance_2

No wonder Wang Rui, who had always been kind to others, hadn’t had even the slightest hint of objection when Wu Hen wanted to use them as human bait for fishing.

These Poison Sub-humans were now their adversaries.

Compared to the hypocritical Longevity Sect, they belonged to a savage, fierce, and unscrupulous gangster group within the Red Port, specializing in oppressing the weak.

"Do you know where their lair is?" Wu Hen asked.

"I do know..." As Wang Rui spoke, his gaze involuntarily shifted toward Li Feng standing beside him.

Wang Rui had long wanted to lead a group to attack them.

The actions of the Poison Sub-humans severely hindered the exploration and development of these human elites; even the Yuan You and supplies they managed to obtain were often intercepted by them.

This infuriated Wang Rui and many of the human elite teams.

At this moment, the whole outpost was noisy because a group similarly harmed by them planned to lead their brothers and wipe out that Poison Sub-human stronghold, to quash their arrogance.

But such matters required the opinion of Chief Li.

If he disagreed, the elite team absolutely could not act recklessly.

Wu Hen also understood that Chief Li’s tolerance toward the Poison Sub-humans was partly because he did not want to expose the real strength of the human elite team too early, and partly because he was amassing power to confront the Longevity Sect.

The Poison Sub-humans were just a bunch of flies in the jungle, but the Longevity Sect were the real venomous snakes, deadly ones.

"I just broke through to Third Rank Physique; I have this restless qi with nowhere to use. Shall I lead the brothers and strike?" Wu Hen proposed.

Since the Longevity Sect already knew that Wu Hen was among the strongest human fighters, and his strength was exposed right from when he awakened, there was no need for secrecy. Moreover, his hot temper and fondness for slaughter had already solidified his image as the Living Yama at the Longevity Sect, so it made perfect sense for Wu Hen, this Living Yama, to strike at the Poison Sub-human stronghold.

"The reason those Poison Sub-humans target us is intimately connected to that Left Monarch from the Longevity Sect," Li Feng, seeing that the others had already left, finally revealed the truth to Wu Hen.

"One of the Two Lords of the Longevity Sect?" Wu Hen exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Longevity Envoy Yan Yang is also a subordinate of this Left Monarch. According to my analysis, this Left Monarch’s strength should be at the same level as the Purple Robed Master," Li Feng said.

The Purple Robed Master himself has said that there are differences even among those at the Heavenly Brilliance level.

But Wu Hen currently did not have a clear concept and did not know where he stood among those in the Heavenly Brilliance level.

"According to another piece of information I have, the strength of the Poison Sub-human race is not considered strong, but peculiarly, there emerged a genius among their race possessing strength comparable to that of the Purple Robed Master. Destroying the Poison Sub-human stronghold is not difficult, but this Poison Sub-human genius is incredibly hard to deal with. If he decides to fight us to the death, we will inevitably expose one of our Heavenly Brilliance," Li Feng said.

There are those among the human elites who possess Heavenly Brilliance, but in the special environment of Infinite Red Port, the identity of one with Heavenly Brilliance is not disclosed.

The Longevity Sect has infiltrated into the Nuwa God End, and if we do not remain hidden, it is likely that the human details will soon be fully understood by them, and the subsequent annexation plans cannot be executed.

Wu Hen was actually very curious now.

Which members among the humans were of Heavenly Brilliance, had he seen any of them?

Or were they actually hiding right around him?

"Chief Li, I actually have another question. How do we differentiate True Heavenly Brilliance from the Pseudo? And how do we define the differences in strength among those at the Heavenly Brilliance level?" Wu Hen asked.

"From the information collected by us Awakeners, Otherworldly Desert Dust does not have a clear distinction in levels, including members who have contacted higher races. They also state that there is still no end above Heavenly Brilliance," Li Feng said.

"I understand that, but ultimately, we need a reference. After all, our people explore everywhere, and encountering some beings too powerful, if we cannot set a precise standard for them, it is very easy to lead to some weaker people foolishly going to their deaths," Wu Hen said.

"I speak rather slowly, so just listen as I explain slowly..." Li Feng indeed spoke at a slow pace, which could frustrate a person who is impatient.

"No rush; how about I go fetch our seafood, and we can grill it while we talk slowly?" Wu Hen suggested.

"Sounds good, great idea; I’ll go do it!" Wang Rui agreed.

He was about to leave, but Wu Hen stopped him.

Although that previous fishing intention was indeed there, Wu Hen still worried that Yan Yang might fiercely retaliate.

"You all take a seat, I’ll send someone to fetch it," Li Feng shook his head but ended up calling his aide.

"We’ve prepared a lot, remember to share some with the other injured brothers at the station," Wang Rui instructed.

After saluting, the aide then went to carry the seafood.

"You should know that all of the Human Clan’s Ten Thousand Veins like to mention ’Ascension’; the methods of ascension vary, and if we can create a Red Port Starship, it too can be called a technological ascension, possessing absolute combat power among All Races," Chief Li said.

Wu Hen and Wang Rui had both settled down, resembling two eager elementary students.

"In fact, all Desert Dust Life that reaches the Heavenly Brilliance Level are candidates for ascension," Chief Li explained.

"But this ascension is very difficult, akin to a Dragon Gate placed before all Heavenly Brilliance beings; we are like fish in a pool under a turbulent waterfall, very few can truly swim upstream, overcome the tribulations of ascension, and leap through the Dragon Gate!"

At this moment, Wu Hen couldn’t help but raise his hand.

He needed a clear reference to understand which beings had truly transcended the Dragon Gate and which were still searching for the methods of ascension beneath it.

"May I ask?" Chief Li pointed at Wu Hen, still very much the professor he used to be.

"Is the Purple Robed Master ascended or not?" Wu Hen asked.

"Not ascended; of course, he is among the strongest in the unascended tier," Chief Li replied.

Wu Hen gasped.

He had thought the Purple Robed Master was an ascended being!

Those confirmed to have completed ascension were only the Female and Male Dragons and his own Black Divine Miracle, Little Yi.

No wonder, Little Yi, in slaying Zai Wu and conquering the Yin Pole Heavenly Court, was basically slaughtering them; this was the difference between the ascended and the unascended.

"The ascended are called Hua Chen," Chief Li continued.

"So, there are still clear realm classifications?" Wu Hen couldn’t help but complain.

Would have been nice to say earlier that beyond Heavenly Brilliance, there’s a Hua Chen Crown Realm.

"Wu Hen, have you ever noticed something — if our world was virtual, then why, when we look up at the sky, do we see so many stars, are they mere decorations the Nuwa God End added for us to feel the vastness of the world?" Chief Li said.

"Well, I don’t know," Wu Hen replied.

"Then, have you ever looked up at the night sky carefully while in the Otherworldly Dust?" Chief Li asked.

Hearing this, a flash of insight suddenly struck Wu Hen’s mind, perhaps realizing some extremely important information, but he could not organize his thoughts immediately.

After a long pause, Wu Hen seriously said, "The starry sky we see from our homeland is consistent with the starry sky seen from the Otherworldly Dust." Continue your adventure at NovelBin.Côm

"Exactly, it’s consistent!" Chief Li showed a look of approval and continued, "In fact, the starry sky we see from our homeland is the real starry sky; Nuwa God End did not create any Truman’s set for that part."

"What then is the relationship between the starry sky and the so-called Ascension Heavenly Brilliance?" Wu Hen wondered.

"Each star we see with the naked eye at night represents a being from the Otherworldly Dust who has ascended, so one day, if you also complete your ascension, a star in the vast starry sky will represent your supreme divine radiance," Chief Li explained.

"No matter where in the Otherworldly Dust, from any hidden civilization, as long as you look up at the starry night, you can find your own — Hua Chen."

"You will possess a Star Name recognized by Desert Dust."

Star Name???

When this term was mentioned, Wu Hen suddenly recalled the two proud brothers he met in the Scroll Realm!

Du Mao, Star Name Earth Battle!

Gong Qin, Star Name Yaoguang!
