ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 136: Invictus



Space in the God Realm has more complex spatial laws than the Blue Polar star, and they are much more difficult to break apart.

With Yun Wuji's cultivation, it is impossible for him to use any of his space powers for long- range teleportation or large-scale attacks. In fact, he cannot even utilize his Omnipresent Domain either.

However, Yun Wuji was still far from the God Realm, and he could use his space powers to teleport. Nevertheless, he chose not to, as traveling through space involved a great deal of risk.

This was because, during the process of traveling through space, it was possible for someone to run into spatial storms as they slipped through the gaps in space.

If they were even more unfortunate, they could encounter a Universe Devouring Beast. Yun Wuji wasn't foolish enough to take such a risk just to reach his destination a bit faster. Traveling through space was incredibly boring. It wasn't his first time, so the novelty had long faded. To pass the time, he flew monotonously while chatting with his wives to get rid of his boredom.

"Finally, I'm close. God Realm, I dio...cough...I mean, I, Yun Wuji, have arrived!" Five days later, Yun Wuji finally reached the God Realm. With his spiritual senses, he could detect a Low-Rank Star Realm nearby.

This Low-Rank Star Realm was one he had visited with his Devil Body. He had already prepared a resting place there and stocked it with a decent quantity of Divine Crystals and Profound Cores for his use.

He excitedly shot toward the Star Realm, increasing his speed. However, Yun Wuji's body suddenly tensed, and he came to an abrupt halt. His expression turned serious as he stared intently at the space ahead of him.

"Hmm? You actually sensed me?" Suddenly, the space ahead rippled, and a man stepped out, his gaze fixed on Yun Wuji with a look of surprise.

"Who are you?" Yun Wuji frowned, his tone cautious as he asked.

The man before him was tall, and dressed in green robes that matched his equally green hair. His face was ordinary, almost forgettable, but his eyes gave off a deep, sinister light that immediately set Yun Wuji on guard.

"Interesting, a 4th level Divine Origin Realm cultivator actually managed to sense me," the man said, ignoring Yun Wuji's question. He scratched his chin and scanned Yun Wuji from head to toe as if appraising a rare treasure. "Good! High-quality goods! You'll fetch a high price at the auction!"

This man was part of a gang that hunted down individuals who had ascended from the lower realms to sell them as slaves. In fact, he was the leader of the gang.

He had originally been wandering aimlessly, waiting for the wife of the Realm King with whom he was having an affair. However, upon sensing Yun Wuji's aura from afar, he changed his plans and decided to ambush him instead.

'Fuck! Isn't this the kind of shit that only happens in immortality novels? Capturing ascenders and forcing them to work in mines?! And what's with this guy's cultivation? Why would someone at the Spirit Profound Realm be doing this dirty job?!' Yun Wuji cursed inwardly. The man in front of him was clearly at the 1st level of the Spirit Profound Realm!

After Yun Wuji entered the Divine Way, he could fight opponents who were two great realms above him, counting in the three extra levels.

*For example: If he were at the 10th level of the Divine Soul Realm, he could fight someone at the 7th level of the Divine Spirit Realm. Similarly, at the 13th level of the Divine Soul Realm, he could face off against someone at the 10th level of the Divine Spirit Realm.*

"Brat, you are interesting, voluntarily surrender to avoid any unnecessary pain. I don't want to damage such a high-quality prize like you," the green-haired man said, standing imposingly with his hand behind his back as he gazed at Yun Wuji.

The more he looked at Yun Wuji, the more satisfied he became. This was the first time he had come across such high-quality goods. From the man's life aura, he could tell that he hadn't yet passed his thirties. With this level of talent, combined with his unparalleled looks and aura, he could already foresee how many wealthy women would fight to claim him. Thinking of all the money he could make from Yun Wuji, the man couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!

'I didn't want to use this trump carte, especially in this place...' Yun Wuji didn't answer him. He closed his eyes, his lips moved as he whispered slowly, "Invictus."

Boom!

As Yun Wuji spoke, a resplendent silver light burst forth from his body. In an instant, it grew rapidly, becoming brighter and brighter until his entire body was consumed by its blinding radiance, shining like a silver star.

"What is that?" The man's eyes widened as he took a step forward and his head leaned forward, his voice filled with surprise and bewilderment.

Before the man could even recover from his surprise, the intense light erupted into a towering pillar, stretching upwards as if it connected heaven and earth. The man slowly raised his head, only to find, astonishingly enough, that he could not see the end of the pillar at all.

The pillar was so massive and radiant that its brilliance could be seen from far away, a shining beacon in the vast emptiness of space!

"Not good! This huge movement is bound to attract someone!" The green-haired man quickly exclaimed, panic flashing in his eyes. Without a second thought, he made his move, abandoning all caution. No longer concerned about damaging the 'goods,' his priority was now to secure him before anyone else arrived!

"Hah!" With a low shout, the green-haired man threw a palm strike toward the pillar.

Bang!

A massive green palm shot forward, its might overwhelming, surging toward the silver pillar with an earth-shattering explosion.

"What?!" The man's eyes widened in disbelief.

The attack, which he had poured 60% of his strength into, had actually failed to even make the pillar flinch, let alone budge!

Swoosh!

As the man stared in astonishment, the blinding silver pillar began to fade away. In an

instant, Yun Wuji's figure emerged from within.

Silver light flowed over his body like gentle waves. His black hair changed to a beautiful silver-white, gleaming softly in the light. His eyes, once dark as night, now shone with bright silver, a deep light glowing from within them like tiny stars.

Normally, when Yun Wuji activated Deus Ex Machina, he would take on this form. But this time, something was different. His face was cold and detached, and his silver-white eyes were indifferent and unfeeling as if stripped of any trace of emotion.

A few years ago, when Yun Wuji visited his adoptive father's grave, he experienced a profound epiphany. In that moment, he gained a deeper understanding of the laws governing the world and uncovered new insights into the nature of emotions.

Later when he did it with Xia Qingyue, he gained the Nine Mystical Exquisite World.

Thanks to these two factors, Yun Wuji was able to significantly enhance the power and effectiveness of Deus Ex Machina!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unlike before, when it had only one effect, this time it possessed three distinct effects. The first effect: the technique retained its original ability to elevate his cultivation by one

great realm.

Secondly: While in this state, Yun Wuji would gain a 'Battle Instinct.' Under its influence, he discarded all emotions and became utterly detached. This allowed him to grasp the flow of battle and assess his opponent's abilities even in unfavorable circumstances. Unburdened by distractions, he could analyze prior combat experiences and execute them with unparalleled precision, maximizing their success rate instantly.

Thirdly: In this state, he was invulnerable. No matter the strength or intensity of an attack, it would simply dissipate upon contact, unable to harm him in the slightest.

After refining the technique, he renamed it to Invictus, because, in this state, he truly became undefeatable and unconquerable. However, Yun Wuji still doesn't know the limits of his

power.

Could he withstand an attack from a divine master? That remains to be seen, for now.

"How... how is this possible?! Your cultivation raised by an entire great realm?! How did you do it?!!!" Sensing Yun Wuji's cultivation jump from the 4th level Divine Origin Realm to the Divine Soul Realm, the man's hands trembled, his whole body shaking violently. His eyes, which were full of malice, were now trembling, and his pupils rapidly enlarged, almost covering the entire eyeball.

"..." Yun Wuji didn't answer, silver light erupted from his body and he shot toward him.

At this moment, Yun Wuji was feeling cold-headed. No, he wasn't "feeling" anything since he didn't have any feelings at this moment. He was like a program with only one goal: to get rid of the obstacle in front of him in the shortest and most convenient way possible! "Brat! I don't know how you pulled off this trick, but do you think you can defeat me with your Divine Soul Realm cultivation?!" The green-haired man snapped out of his shock when he saw Yun Wuji daring to actually attack him. He roared, "After I take you down, I will slowly torture that method out of you!"

He clenched his fist and punched the air, sending a surge of green-colored profound energy shooting toward Yun Wuji. As it traveled, the energy transformed into a massive cyclone!

The giant cyclone spun at an incredible speed, hurtling toward Yun Wuji. As it neared him, he felt a powerful pulling force, drawing him toward it.

Facing the tornado, Yun Wuji didn't dodge the attack; he met it head-on. The moment they collided, the tornado engulfed his entire body, expanding into a giant ball of condensed wind. "Oh? He actually met it head-on? Is he crazy?!! He won't die right?!" The man's angry expression stiffened as he saw this. The attack he launched had used 80% of his strength, and it was not something a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivation could resist, much less a weakling from the Divine Soul Realm.

However, at this moment, before the wind ball faded, Yun Wuji suddenly charged through it and suddenly appeared before the man.

Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World's Fifth Stage - Golden Annihilation!

"Ah?!" The man's eyes suddenly shrank, his heart clenched, and his body stiffened as if the feeling of death was closing in on him. Before he could react, a flaming golden sword appeared in Yun Wuji's hand, and with a swift motion, he swung it, cutting off the man's head

instantly!

"What... what happened?!" As his head separated from his body, the man's only thought was

how this had happened.

Yun Wuji slashed with his sword again, splitting the head into two. The golden flame burned at the edges of both split halves, reducing them to ashes in an instant!

The last thought that man had before his consciousness faded into nothingness was, 'Is this my karma for giving the Realm King a green hat?'

If it had been the previous Yun Wuji, he would have taken the attack and toyed with the man for a while, breaking his spirit and cognition before crushing him. However, under the influence of battle instinct, Yun Wuji now always sought to maximize his chances of success and finish the battle as quickly as possible.

In his current state, he judged that it was more efficient to pass through the attack, lowering

the man's vigilance, and then launch a surprise attack when his guard was at its weakest.

Yun Wuji grabbed the man's body and began searching for anything valuable.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

But before he could even deactivate Invictus, the sound of clapping echoed from above.

Slowly, a figure descended in front of him.
