Chapter 684: I Have Surpassed the Limit
Buzz——
A powerful and unmatched mythical might surged and spread in all directions.
The clouds above the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Fields were swept away, forming a massive vortex, or perhaps a ring, like a spectacle.
Dong——
A bell sound, from an unknown source, pierced through the entire Immortal Realm, and even the entire Spirit World. Countless residents of the Immortal Realm and Spirit World creatures heard the sound and raised their heads, bewildered and uncertain.
"A bell?"
"Praise be to the Azure King."
"It is the great Lord of the Immortal Realm and Spirit World! He is conveying good news to us! Praise the Azure King, praise the Gods!"
In the City of Cats, the originally calm and peaceful atmosphere turned lively as the bell rang. White cats, black cats, humans, and supernatural creatures all stopped what they were doing, involuntarily knelt, and felt joy and awe in their hearts, praying excitedly.
In the Dawn Cathedral, clergy members uniformly bowed in the direction of the Heavenly Fields, their faces filled with fervor and devotion as they began to chant hymns.
Far in the depths of the desert, in the City of Light, now surrounded by an oasis, the entire city boiled with excitement, and screams and cheers filled every corner.
Countless Descendants of Darkness wept with joy, raising their hands high, bowing towards the Heavenly Fields.
After the initial daze, the four queens of Matthaios looked at each other and then couldn't contain their excitement, kneeling down.
"It's the promotion of Your Majesty the Azure King!"
"He is one step closer to the throne of a True God!"
"Praise the great Lord!"
Dong——
Dong——
Then, two more bell sounds echoed through the Immortal Realm and the Spirit World.
Chen Lun closed his eyes, standing upright.
His black top hat was blown off by the gale, spinning and drifting until it landed in the hands of a man in a black robe with a mustache.
The latter showed a face of astonishment.
"I never thought, until today, you stand in the same Sequence as me..."
Oscar softly sighed.
A white-scaled giant serpent with crystallized antlers hovered above Chen Lun's head.
Its size was about one-third of the Golden Sacred Tree, quite enormous, inspiring awe.
As if called by some force, the white-scaled serpent slowly curved its body, forming an enormous ring.
But then——
It underwent an unknowable transformation under some incomprehensible power, twisting against logic, and on the foundation of the ring, flipping again, forming an infinity symbol "∞" that could not be fully observed from any angle.
Oscar raised an eyebrow, his astonishment growing.
"Indeed, you've paved your own path, a road entirely different from mine... Well done, Jack."
He continuously praised.
Quickly, the various gods of the Immortal Realm arrived at the Heavenly Fields in succession.
Besides the Proud Sun and the Destiny Giant Serpent, the Cat God, the Three Ladies of Suffering, the Gatekeeper, and Xike all kept a not-too-far but not-too-close distance, quietly observing the ceremony.
Among them, Xike still held a scroll and feather pen, earnestly recording this scene.
"Jack's Strength is continuously growing. Even though he has just ascended to Sequence One, he gives me an overwhelming feeling... It's definitely the oppressive presence that only the 'King of Angels' can have."
Cat God Maggie appeared in human form this time.
The formless might radiating from the Azure King whipped up a gale, lifting Maggie's orange-red long hair. Her charming face showed disbelief.
"How did he accomplish this?!"
The other angels also marveled.
"For this promotion, Jack prepared two Promotion Ceremonies, conducting them simultaneously, and nearly completed both at the same time... The ceremony feedback several times greater than ordinary ceremonies directly allowed him to assimilate three pieces of the Destiny's Unique Divinity, propelling him to an immeasurable level."
Oscar's gaze was fixed on the black-clothed gentleman not far away, slightly opening his mouth, speaking with a heavy tone.
"Simply being the 'King of Angels' might not be enough..."
"A dual Sequence One Promotion Ceremony?!"
Lady of Gloom, Julia, exclaimed in shock.
The angels were stunned by this revelation.
Back when they ascended to Sequence One, nearly all of them took decades or even centuries, overcoming numerous difficulties to succeed.
But Jack took less than three years to go from Sequence Two to Sequence One.
This was a miracle in itself.
Now learning that Jack conducted two Promotion Ceremonies simultaneously and completed them at the same time was even more unbelievable...
"No wonder Your Majesty the Azure King had such strength upon his promotion... Instantly, the massive ceremony feedback allowed him to fully assimilate and master three pieces of Unique Divinity, stepping into, or even surpassing, the level of the 'King of Angels.'
Lady of Sighs, Dominiya, shook her head in admiration.
This greatly impacted the angels' understanding present. Jack's courage and wisdom earned their admiration, making them feel inferior.
He was certainly the world's only Sub-God level figure to reach the 'King of Angels' level through a dual Promotion Ceremony within three years.
Truly the first of its kind and perhaps the last.
When Chen Lun opened his eyes again.
The black pupils each flashed with a pale infinity symbol, entirely different from the former silver ring.
Julia was about to step forward to speak to him, but Lady of Silence, Margaret, gently pulled her wrist, speaking warmly:
"Wait... The Azure King's ascension seems to be not yet finished."
"Hmm?"
Julia raised an eyebrow.
Chen Lun waved his hand, and a densely packed database panel that only he could see appeared before him.
"Nearly two years for the Inner Continent, nine years for the Outer Continent, players on both sides have completed their respective Main Quests... During this time, they've accumulated quite a lot of Experience Points, hmm, it's time to reap."
