Heavenly dao-level powerhouses were basically the top existences below dominator-level.
The level was the final goal most talents and geniuses aspired to get to.
Those who were lacking innately could not make up for it no matter how hardworking they were.
Those who could achieve dominator-level had to be at least at Aeon rank-8 in terms of life level. This was the main reason why there were many outstanding entities in history who were stuck at heavenly dao-level.
Life level decided the strength of one’s physical body and God’s soul and, to a certain extent, decided the toughness of one’s Kingdom.
If one had a lacking life level, they would only be seeking death if they tried to break through forcefully.
Therefore, many powerhouses in the infinite universe were stuck at heavenly dao-level. Their number was merely slightly lower compared to the number of major dao-level powerhouses.
Since the heavenly dao-level war broke out, it almost seemed one-sided for the first few days.
All of the heavenly dao-level powerhouses in the infinite universe had over a month of preparation before joining the war.
From the two previous rounds, all the organizations had found a suitable approach. From the beginning, they would get all of the heavenly dao-level powerhouses to fight in two shifts. They would no longer fight alone. Instead, they were divided into groups of three to five.
Moreover, they would not wait for those invaders to scatter. They stood by at the entrance of the mystic territories where the invaders were being teleported out of.
This resulted in a situation of the Abyssal creatures being killed one-sidedly by the infinite universe’s powerhouses for the first few days after the third round started.
However, the Abyss very soon discovered the problem and began to send over more and more heavenly dao-level powerhouses.
Within a week, everyone started to feel the pressure.
The reason being was that there were too many heavenly dao-level powerhouses coming from the Abyss.
Lin Huang released one-third of heavenly dao-level powerhouses in his Kingdom to join the war when he saw that. It doubled the number of heavenly dao-level powerhouses in the infinite universe again and instantly relieved the pressure on the situation.
Meanwhile, the Abyss began to send more heavenly dao-level powerhouses when they realized the unusual situation that was unfolding.
Less than ten days later, the number of heavenly dao-level powerhouses from the Abyss suppressed the infinite universe again.
Lin Huang released another one-third of the heavenly dao-level powerhouses from his Kingdom into the war.
Less than a week later, the heavenly dao-level powerhouses from both sides reached a stalemate. The war fell into a stagnant state.
However, the stagnant state did not last even a week.
The Abyss finally could not hold back. A commotion broke out again.
However, they did not continue to release more heavenly dao-level powerhouses this time, nor did they enter the next phase, which was to send dominator-level powerhouses to the war.
This time, the commotion originated from the source of the war—the biggest mystic territory in the entire infinite universe!
The moment it happened, Lin Huang looked across space. He looked at the jet-black door that was comparable to the size of a chaotic cosmos.
There was thick, black fog behind the door, which shielded it from all kinds of probing techniques from the outside world.
A gigantic, skinny figure walked out of the thick fog.
The door that was comparable to a chaotic cosmos seemed just right given its height.
It wore a luxurious and colorful robe, and there was a tall crown that dazzled with golden light on its head.
It looked like a beautiful man, but there were endless squirming tentacles under the robe…
Sensing the countless Divine Telekinesis that tried to probe him, the skinny man’s red lips, that seemed to be dyed with blood, smirked.
The next second, countless powerhouses recalled their Divine Telekinesis in fear.
Those who failed to recall their Divine Telekinesis in time were smiling like they had been turned into fools.
A moment later, the heads of the people who were smiling like fools exploded directly. Tentacles appeared out of their necks at a frantic pace. They were spreading in all directions…
Lin Huang stared at him without blinking. He was not affected at all. However, he sensed the strange technique that the man had used clearly.
It was a psychic attack, but it had also combined the Abyssal contamination and some of this man’s unique characteristics.
“Nyarlathotep…” Lin Huang called out his name softly.
He was Nyarlathotep, one of the three Outer Gods!
The most powerful one under Aza’s command!
He was also the owner of the aura that Lin Huang had sensed in the large mystic territory.
Lin Huang could not help but frown when he saw him appearing.
It was not that he was afraid of his ability. After all, Nyarlathotep’s ability was similar to what Lin Huang had speculated before, which was having mastered ten quadrillion chaotic cosmoses.
Lin Huang frowned because of what it meant for him to appear.
If this guy joined the war directly, it would mean that the war had progressed to the second last stage before Aza came.
It also meant that Lin Huang did not have much time left.
While he was still thinking what would happen later on, the skinny Nyarlathotep spoke while smiling, “I’ve been so bored over these two months before my master wakes up, so I thought I’d have some fun. Everyone seems to be enjoying the three rounds of games. I’m happy because I brought everyone so much joy…”
His voice echoed crystal clear throughout the entire infinite universe. All of the dominator-level powerhouses heard him.
Everyone could not help but undergo a slight change of expression when they heard the voice.
“However, now that my master is waking up, I can only seize this final bit of time to play this last game with you guys.”
“You can treat this game as a warm-up before the war officially begins.”
A hum came from the door behind Nyarlathotep again as soon as he was done speaking.
A gigantic ball slowly squeezed itself out of the door.
The ball was totally comparable to the size of a chaotic cosmos.
However, it looked like a gigantic sarcoma with an uneven surface. To be exact, it looked more like a sarcoma with countless tentacles.
All of the powerhouses who were watching from far away had a bad feeling when they saw the sarcoma appear.
It was clearly not a living thing, but it exuded an extremely ominous aura.
To a certain extent, everyone even had a faint feeling that this thing was even scarier than Nyarlathotep, who was standing next to it.
“I’ll give everyone a brief explanation before commencing the warm-up game.”
“This is an ootheca. For now onward, it will breed all sorts of dominator-level Abyssal creatures continuously.”
“The rule behind its breeding is simple. On the first day, it’d only breed a single dominator-level rank-1 powerhouse. On the second day, it would breed two dominator-level rank-2 powerhouses. On the third day, it’d breed four dominator-level rank-3 powerhouses… On the ninth day, it’d breed 256 dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses. On the day after that, the number of dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses would be doubled.”
“On the 11th day, there will be a slight change to the rule. It’d breed one dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse, but this dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse would have mastered over one billion chaotic cosmoses. On the 12th day, the breeding number would be doubled. On the 13th day, it’d continue to be doubled… It will continue like that until the 20th day.”
“On the 21st day, it’d breed one dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse again. This dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse will have mastered over ten billion chaotic cosmoses. The number of dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses would be doubled on the 22nd day, the 23rd day… All the way to the 30th day…”
“The breeding rule would then be repeated. Every ten days, the ability of the dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse it breeds will become one level higher.”
“Of course, you guys can try to attack the ootheca directly…” Nyarlathotep’s smile was rather eerie when he said that.
“Lastly, I hope that not all of you will die before my master wakes up.”
As soon as Nyarlathotep was done speaking, He turned around and stepped back inside the jet-black door.
The gigantic sarcoma was the only thing left there. Its tentacles looked like they were squirming slowly.
