Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 596: Passage

A towering spatial gateway stood at the junction between Blue Planet and the Twin Moon Domain, its presence radiating turbulent energy fluctuations that rippled across hundreds of kilometers.

Even before Li Pin arrived, he could already sense the portal's disruptive influence on the surrounding energy.

Decades ago, the invasion of Blue Planet's civilization was initiated under the command of Scorching Sun, the Ancient God who reigned supreme above all deities.

As the primary point of entry, this place was fortified with countless strongholds and armies consisting of Tier Thirteen Demigods, Tier Twelve Legends, Tier Eleven Quasi-Legends, and numerous tier ten martial artists. Additionally, more than three Tier Fourteen True Gods were permanently stationed here.

In addition, there were even more True Gods closely monitoring the war, constantly mobilizing troops from their respective domains to launch infiltrations and full-scale invasions against Blue Planet.

As Li Pin arrived, he could clearly sense the number of formidable beings within.

He gazed into the distance. "Several years have passed. The power ceiling of the Celestial Barren Domain has risen from Tier Eleven Quasi-Legend to Tier Twelve Legend. Still, it's far too weak compared to the Twin Moon Domain."

Here, on the frontlines of this interdimensional war, Tier Ten Martial Artists were merely ordinary soldiers, while a Tier Eleven Quasi-Legend was nothing more than a squad captain. Even a Tier Twelve Legend, the peak existence of the Celestial Barren Domain, was at best a commander of a hundred.

True authority over the army lay in the hands of Demigods and True Gods.

The moment Li Pin stepped into the region, the stationed Demigods took notice of him.

Sensing that his energy level wasn't particularly high, only three of them moved in to intercept him. "Who are you—"

The leading Demigod had just begun speaking when Li Pin interrupted. "Not enough."

He continued, "Though you're merely cultivators of the local system and your strength is insignificant, you can still serve as a test for comparing Dao Manifestation and True Gods... But just the three of you are far from enough."

The Demigod spoke in a sharp tone. "This is the frontline. No unauthorized personnel may approach—"

Before he could finish, another among them spoke. "I can't sense the will of a God in him, but his energy level isn't weak. He's most likely someone who has consumed True God Essence. There's no way a person like him wouldn't know what we do here. He knows this is a warfront, yet he dares to come anyway... He won't be leaving. He'll join our forces and march with us into the mortal world."

Hearing this, the other Demigods nodded in agreement.

"Invade the mortal world..." Li Pin glanced at them. "Marching with the army would indeed align with my goal of entering the so-called mortal world, but I don't like that approach."

He swept his gaze past them and focused on the fortress hundreds of kilometers away.

"I'm no weaker than any True God in terms of strength. In fact, I surpass most in battle. Let the True Gods and God Kings stationed here come. All of them. I hope... they can stop me."

The three Demigods were immediately enraged when they heard that. The one leading let out a furious roar. "How dare you insult the True Gods—"

Bang!

Before he could finish, his head exploded.

A sharp, piercing shockwave followed, tearing through the air with a deafening sonic boom.

Li Pin had made his move. He simply condensed his force into a single burst and launched it with precision.

His mastery over power was so refined that no energy leaked. The Demigod hadn't even realized what had happened before his body was shattered on the spot.

The sudden turn of events sent the remaining two Demigods into a state of terror. Their very souls seemed to tremble as they retreated at full speed. "You—"

Li Pin turned his gaze to them. "I've already told you. My combat strength surpasses that of ordinary True Gods. But I know you wouldn't take me seriously unless I proved it to you. So, I let you see for yourselves. Now, will you report to the God King and True Gods guarding this portal?"

Neither of them dared to say another word. They turned and bolted toward the fortress, their voices ringing out in alarm. "Enemy attack! A True God has arrived!"

The entire fortress stirred at once. Legendary, Demigod, and even True God level auras surged into the sky, spreading above the fortress.

Li Pin didn't stop them. He didn't even rush forward. Instead, he gave them ample time to prepare.

By the time he reached the spatial portal, four True Gods had already gathered. There was also a God King among them.

Godly might radiated from them, oppressing the surroundings.

This so-called godly might was merely an extension of their spiritual presence, useful for intimidating beings with a lower cultivation realm. But to Li Pin, it held no significance whatsoever.

"I am the Eternal Night God King. Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly here?"

A vague image of a Divine Kingdom flickered into view behind the Eternal Night God King. It resembled how Legendary figures in the outside universe manifested their domains or how Legendary Celestial Martial Artists summoned their celestial projections.

"Is this all?" Li Pin glanced at Eternal Night and the four True Gods. "Are you a newly ascended True God? Or the Demigod follower of a powerful True God?"

Eternal Night's voice suddenly turned sharp. With a burst of mental spirit power, his words rang out like a mighty bell, "Answer me!"

"You want answers?" said Li Pin

As energy surged within Li Pin, a towering figure, dozens of meters tall, emerged from him.

It was the Dao Manifestation Realm recorded in the Three Thousand Dao Scripture—the third stage among Golden Core, Primordial Spirit, Dao Manifestation, and Dao Integration.

This stage corresponded to the ranks of True God, God King, and God Monarch.

Past that, Dao Integration aligned with this world's Ancient God realm, which also corresponded to the Planet Lord Demigod level in the outside world, where one fused with their Natal Planet.

"If you can defeat me, I will tell you everything," Li Pin's spiritual fluctuations echoed through his Dao Manifested form.

"What is this?"

"A True God's body? But why does it seem... different from ours?"

"A corrupt being!?"

Before the God King and the other True Gods could fully grasp the nature of this "monster", Li Pin's Dao Manifestation moved.

"Now, use your full strength and resist with everything you have," said Li Pin.

In the next moment, his towering manifestation charged forward with terrifying momentum.

What's more unbelievable was, despite its enormous size, its movements caused no disturbance to the surrounding environment. It was as if gravity and air resistance had ceased to exist for it.

In a single leap, it appeared directly before the Eternal Night God King, as though moving through a vacuum.

No—this was no mere vacuum. Li Pin had perfectly integrated external forces—gravity, air resistance—into his own power, turning them into an extension of himself. Rather than hindering his strength, they became a part of it.

As he appeared beside the Eternal Night God King and unleashed a punch, the God King was facing more than just a mere strike. It was the entire world. The weight of this domain itself!

The Eternal Night God King let out a furious, alarmed roar. "You are... an Ancient God's Demigod!?"

The once-faint projection of his Divine Kingdom instantly solidified. Within it, countless Demigods and Sacred Spirits emerged, chanting in unison as they poured their strength into the Divine Kingdom. But even with their combined strength, the entire Divine Kingdom collapsed at an unimaginable speed the moment the punch landed.

The destruction barely caused any disturbance.

It was as if a red-hot iron had been dropped onto an ice sculpture. Wherever it touched, everything melted away in an instant.

The terrifying precision and absolute control over power made the Eternal Night God King's expression stretch taut.

"Attack!"

"Divine Technique! Return to One!"

The remaining four True Gods struck at once. Two of them rushed forward to intercept Li Pin, while the other two prepared their divine techniques.

But to Li Pin, none of it mattered.

Through his Clairvoyance, he saw through every movement—every shift in energy, every fluctuation in their Divine Techniques. Nothing could escape his perception.

He flickered about, slipping effortlessly through the combined strike.

With a light tap in midair, invisible ripples spread outward.

The ripples swept across the divine techniques the other two were preparing, instantly disrupting their structures. The backlash nearly turned against them, forcing them into a desperate scramble to stabilize their powers.

"Too weak," Li Pin muttered.

These so-called True Gods... they were too ordinary.

Outside this divine treasure world, they were no different from Tier One or Two Legendaries—on par with Yu Shengjin, Xue Feng, and Qi Yan.

Unremarkable. Lacking anything truly divine. Even in battle, they could only rely on Legendary-level strength and techniques. freёnovelkiss.com

Forget comparing them to Li Pin, whose power already surpassed the norm of Astral Gods. Even against Huang Ze, Xuan Zhi, and Wu Tian, they were clearly inferior.

Simply put, if Huang Ze, Xuan Zhi, or Wu Tian were here, they could defeat these so-called True Gods and God Kings even with their lower cultivation realms.

Li Pin collected his thoughts. "I shouldn't have expected too much."

It was just like a player fighting a game boss—a boss could only challenge players because of its overwhelming health, attack, defense, and abilities. But if a boss were stripped of those advantages, left with the same stats as a player, how could it possibly win?

Li Pin took a deep breath. "This is enough."

His Dao Manifestation unleashed its punch. The force behind each strike wasn't earth-shattering, but under this barrage, the Eternal Night God King and the four True Gods' Divine Kingdoms and bodies shattered one after another.

No matter how they resisted, how they struggled, it was pointless.

Within just a few breaths, the Eternal Night God King and the four True Gods let out agonized screams as they fled into the distance.

Li Pin did not pursue them. He swept his gaze over them. Their faces were twisted in horror, staring at him as if he were a monster.

He retracted his Dao Manifestation and took a single step forward, heading toward the spatial gate.

Though the God King and the four True Gods were tasked with guarding this gate, not one of them dared to stop him.

The overwhelming power he had displayed in that instant made it clear that if he wanted them dead... none of them would survive, not even the Eternal Night God King.

And so, they could only watch helplessly as he crossed the void... and vanished into the spatial gate.
