Chapter 1023: Ascension of Personal Divine Arts
The Void Graveyards themselves possess exceptionally strong and comprehensive combat power.
In terms of combat power alone, they are stronger than other gods of the same level. This is because other gods, when at the Lower God level, often have very few divine arts and singular laws.
Most Lower Gods possess only two or three divine arts.
However, the capabilities of the Void Graveyard are considered divine arts, and with high compatibility, they offer comprehensive abilities during use.
In direct combat, Lower Gods of the same level are generally not their match.
Even with Fate Sharing Skill, among Lower Gods, they are invincible. The only flaw is that they themselves do not store Divine Power Crystals and cannot use them.
Ultimately, they are Divine Calamity Species, not normal divine species.
But due to their large size, they inherently possess a substantial reserve of strength.
Even many recently ascended Lower Gods, despite having reserved Divine Power Crystals, do not possess as much power as the Void Graveyard itself, which poses the greatest issue.
Moreover, during battles, Fang Jie discovered that the Void Graveyard can provide power to other Undead Gods.
Although they themselves cannot use Divine Power Crystals, they can remotely inject their own power into other gods of the Undead System, transforming it into divine power they can use, which is practically more effective than Divine Power Crystals.
The only restriction is that the recipient god must have the Death Law as their foundation.
If they have not comprehended the Death Law, this power cannot be received. Whether the Death Law is their Innate Law does not affect this.
Regardless, the Void Graveyards are qualified Lower God combat power, equipped with their own bases.
Counting self-destruction, they can even pose a threat to Middle-Level God level.
With such a troop, the battles on my border battlefield should be sufficient.
No need to overthink, after these experiments, Fang Jie also needs to enhance himself. In these past two years, he has acquired considerable origin power, which can now be used for his ascension.
Despite being busy for two years, Fang Jie's personal enhancement has been minimal.
Although he has the backing of the All Heavens Hunting Ground, the enhancement was obtained at the Lower God level, thus the effect on his current strength is minimal, and he hasn't gained much from it.
But the ascension of skills is different; Fang Jie begins to consume his own strength, ascending some of his previous divine arts.
First is his most formidable combat ability, Dead Soul Bone Dragon. This skill originally consisted of the fusion of three laws. Now, with Fang Jie's actions, those original laws are extracted from the divine art shell.
Thereafter, Fang Jie's power fills the shell, merging it and proceeding with ascension transformation.
Effortlessly, this skill is transformed from its original composition of three laws into four completely compatible laws.
Fusing his own divine power, the skill is elevated to the level of Upper Gods divine art. Subsequently, Fang Jie begins using skill runes to enhance the strength of Dead Soul Bone Dragon, augmenting it as well.
This single skill alone consumed a third of the origin power Fang Jie gained over the past two years.
"Though the consumption is a bit much, after all, it is an enhancement."
Fang Jie furrows his brows; the enhancement is slightly weaker than he anticipated, not as powerful.
There is no choice, as there are some issues with this type of enhancement. Fang Jie finds that the stronger the base of his original divine arts, the stronger the ascended divine arts become while also consuming more.
If it were a divine art formed from a single law, it would likely be impossible to ascend to the grade of Upper Gods divine arts.
Because of his own strength, divine arts formed from a single law cannot have a shell that withstands ascension.
At least divine arts constructed from two laws must qualify for transformation and ascension.
Nevertheless, this is insignificant for Fang Jie, as he had previously organized his skills. Except for some special cases, others had been transformed into divine arts fused from four laws.
Without releasing the Dead Soul Bone Dragon, Fang Jie can sense the combat power, and it's truly no match for him.
In direct combat, relying on his own strength, even ten Dead Soul Bone Dragons grouped together are no match for himself. Fang Jie knows this is due to his own overwhelming strength.
Calculating silently, when faced with other Upper Gods of the same level, Fang Jie estimates.
Approximately two Dead Soul Bone Dragons would have comparable strength to the opponent.
But Upper Gods wield numerous tactics, so two are not enough insurance. The typical Upper God would likely require three, or even more Dead Soul Bone Dragons to contend with them, whereas two would at best delay time.
Indeed, with enhanced strength, the efficacy of Dead Soul Bone Dragon continues to diminish.
Luckily, he laid a solid foundation early on, elevating the Dead Soul Bone Dragon quantity directly to ten.
Ordinary gods would merely construct one or two, not as formidable as his path. Likely these Dead Soul Bone Dragons would serve only auxiliary purposes.
Still, even as auxiliary combatants, surely they appear exceedingly powerful in the eyes of other gods.
As the base of this skill is genuinely unmatched by ordinary divine arts.
Setting this aside, Fang Jie continues ascending other skills. Accompanying the ascension of each skill, Fang Jie feels his tactics multiply, his combat capabilities intensify.
Should he again encounter the God of Radiance and the Glorious Goddess, even if they exert themselves fully in a battle against him, Fang Jie seemingly could effortlessly handle and eliminate them.
The sole frustration Fang Jie has is with the Void Barrier skill, as it genuinely rejects all laws.
His power cannot replace the original shell of laws; he must continue maintaining its current form.
Considering usage of the Void Barrier does not truly involve action with the Law of the Void, rather invoking two opposing laws to mutually cancel out, eventually resulting in some usable Void Power.
Currently, it is unchanged, and he cannot replace this skill.
If he truly replaced it, his laws would likewise be dissipated. The power of the void is excessively dominant, even the power of Upper Gods cannot contend with it, as evidenced here.
Fortunately, the inherent destructive force of this law is not overwhelming; otherwise, gods cultivating Void-type laws might be so numerous to the point of trouble.
