The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1540–1541 Huntian Hammer_2

Since the current era had arrived, there were more and more strong cultivators below the level of True Immortal. The simple division into Supreme Strong and Supreme Overlord was no longer capable of clearly distinguishing their combat power, thus necessitating more detailed classifications.

Therefore, a new division had emerged within the ranks of the Supreme Strong, which no longer relied solely on the level of cultivation, but rather took into account an aggregate of factors like Primordial Qi accumulation, divine abilities, magical treasures, and divine weapons among others to determine a Supreme Strong’s true strength and status.

For example, the benchmark for someone newly entered into the Supreme Strong category was generally the combat power of one star, which specifically applied to those who advanced through their own abilities. However, for those who used cunning shortcuts that sacrificed their potential and damaged their foundations, the rating might only be half a star. These types of Supreme Strong were only slightly stronger than cultivators at the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Realm, making them the weakest within their rank, and even lower than average.

Such powerhouses were extremely rare, and unless by some mishap as an Independent Practitioner, generally cultivators daring to drink poison to quench thirst had impressive backgrounds. Although initially weak, their patrons sought ways to restore their foundations and grant them divine weapon treasures to enhance their combat power, which allowed them to swiftly acquire a one-star rating.

In short, a cultivator with a half-star rating was very rare and could be considered a rarity. After all, even those who advanced by luck and sacrificed their foundation had reached a pinnacle in their cultivation path and now represented the core strengths of various forces.

In this grand era of expansion, as long as they were willing to spend the time seeking Opportunistic Fortune, they could continue to enhance themselves and attain genuine combat power.

Plus, even if they couldn’t find opportunities during the expansion plans, by setting aside their pride and aligning with a few Imperial Honors of the Heavenly Court, they could receive the purification of the Immortal Pond to replenish their foundations. At worst, they would merely work for these Imperial Honors for a few thousand years.

In this era, a lifespan of over ten thousand years was commonplace for a Supreme Strong, so spending a few thousand years to restore foundations wasn’t really considered a loss.

Thus, although the combat power ranking of Supreme Strong did include a half-star, it was quite rarely encountered, with most commencing from one star.

The comprehensive strength of their divine abilities, and the attributes of magical treasures and divine weapons would then increment these cultivators’ combat power ratings.

Generally, reaching the former Ultimate Realm of the Supreme Strong could garner roughly three stars. Cultivators at that level stood on the threshold of the Immortal Path and could glimpse, and attempt to find opportunities, to ascend to True Immortal.

For example, the current combat power rating for Mo Yang of the Huntian Hammer was three and a half stars, which indicated that he had reached the limit of the Supreme Strong’s combat power.

Even for someone as powerful as Wan Fayi, their rating within the Supreme Strong was only half a star higher than his counterpart, reaching a level of four stars.

A Supreme Strong with three stars stood at the threshold of the Immortal Path, ready to ascend to True Immortal with sufficient opportune fate, while those above three stars, like three and a half and four stars, indicated they were qualified to contend with True Immortals. Although they had no real hope of winning, they were not utterly powerless.

If the combat power rating reached four and a half or five stars, such powerhouses were truly at a level comparable to True Immortals. Their capability fully matched that of True Immortals, eligible to contend with them, and even though they hadn’t certified as Tao-Certifying True Immortals, they could still suppress a True Immortal.

Such beings, though not True Immortals, had little difference from them, and were truly the pillars and foundations within various immortal sects.

Wan Fayi knew well that every slight increment in strength at the Supreme Strong level was crucial, especially the combat power evaluation. While it might seem a mere half-star difference, the actual combat capability was worlds apart.

His own strength, currently at four stars, still had a significant gap compared to those with four and a half stars who were qualified to combat True Immortals. Perhaps he could contest, but winning would be exceedingly difficult.

“You are Wan Fayi of the Shenxiao Sect’s ‘All Laws Return to One. ‘ ” Mo Yang of the Huntian Hammer effortlessly dealt with the opponents before him, then turned his gaze towards Wan Fayi, instantly recognizing his identity.

Originally, he was not in a hurry to deal with these people, and he even entertained the idea of toying with them.

But when he discovered someone approaching–and it was an extremely formidable adversary–he dared not delay any further and promptly dealt with his current opponent.

In the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm, there were countless strong contenders, and no one could guarantee they could walk unchallenged in all directions, knowing that even an invincible strong man might still be capsized in the gutter.

After all, the trial did not specify that it had to be a one-on-one duel. Even if someone was powerful, encountering dishonorable opponents who teamed up to attack could inevitably lead to being overwhelmed.

Thus, when Mo Yang sensed a strong person approaching, he immediately dealt with his current opponent and did not dare to be careless, to avoid being taken advantage of and capsized in the gutter.

And indeed, when he clearly saw who was approaching, he felt his decision was without question. The person he recognized was indeed a terrifying strong man, one of the top-tier competitors in the entire Myriad Laws Realm trial.

For any strong person aspiring to seize opportunities in the Myriad Laws Realm trial, since they came here, they might ignore other matters but they had to learn about their main opponents.

Even if they couldn’t access a lot of detailed information like Wan Fayi, who had the backing of major forces, they should at least know some names and basic information about strong rivals so that they wouldn’t be completely in the dark when they met them.

Like Wan Fayi, Mo Yang naturally would not overlook him, since the opponent was a strong contender for the next Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect and recognized as a True Immortal Seed, undoubtedly one of the strongest few in the Myriad Laws Realm. In such a situation, how could he not pay attention?

Thus, the moment Wan Fayi appeared, Mo Yang recognized his identity. His expression instantly turned solemn, and he did not dare to underestimate him at all, as such a strong person was a major threat to him and could be said to be the strongest opponent he had met since entering the Myriad Laws Realm.

“Huntian Hammer, Mo Yang!” Wan Fayi wore a smile, but his vigilance was raised tenfold in his heart.

For Mo Yang, Wan Fayi was a threatening opponent, the strongest enemy he had faced since he started the trial.

And the same could be said for Wan Fayi, couldn’t it?

The Mo Yang he encountered right now was also the most formidable opponent he had faced since entering the Myriad Laws Realm.

Do not think that just because one is rated four-star and the other three and a half stars, one can simply assume that Wan Fayi’s strength is definitely stronger than Mo Yang’s.

It’s not necessarily so, after all, as these power ratings are just a comprehensive consideration but don’t represent someone’s ability to fully utilize all their power in combat. Power isn’t fixed; it has certain fluctuations.

Although cultivators have transcended the ordinary, they are still beings, not machines. Their mindset can often be a significant factor affecting their combat power.

Often, some people possess great power but are unable to fully unleash it due to various reasons–a situation quite common.

And some, perhaps not so highly rated in combat power, might not only fully utilize their potential in special circumstances but could even exceed their current level and achieve higher enhancements.
