Chapter 304: Chapter304-The Oracle-grade Transmission of Profound Mysteries
A faint smile curved Daniel’s lips as he looked at Dustin, whose face was filled with helplessness.
Dustin gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
He had already exhausted everything he had. Every method, every trump card, every last technique he had kept hidden at the bottom of his box—he had used them all.
And yet, against Daniel’s almost unsolvable self-destruction technique, he was utterly at a loss.
"Aspect of Twilight Judgment can withstand it for a while, but the consumption is simply too great. Once the holy idol dissipates, I will have no means left to resist. Faustus’s self-destruction is practically the descent of doomsday itself."
Dustin shook his head helplessly.
He had been proud all his life and had never bowed his head easily. As for personally admitting defeat, Faustus was the first person in his life to force him to do so.
Daniel had an old connection with the Chaos Humans, so naturally, he would not strike to kill.
Seeing Dustin concede, he stopped at once.
"My Crusader’s Physique still hasn’t been adjusted to its strongest state," Daniel thought to himself. "Crusader’s Physique is a battle Constitution born for slaughter. Until now, no one has ever forced out the full extent of my Strength... and Dustin can’t do it either."
The corners of his lips rose slightly.
"Faustus is actually this powerful!"
The awakened Udi, Silas who had been watching the battle, Cold Star, and the other powerhouses were all completely numb with shock.
Their understanding of Daniel’s terrifying strength had been renewed once again.
"As expected of Boss Faustus. He really is worthy of being our leader."
James and Mosi exchanged a smile.
They had always had confidence in Faustus, so at this moment, they were not surprised in the slightest.
Harris looked dazed as he muttered, "I poured all my Strength into that attack, yet I couldn’t even shake the hem of Dustin’s clothes!"
"But Faustus defeated him with just one move and forced him to bow his head and admit defeat... This is simply like a dream."
"The Canaan Starfield truly shines with countless Stellar lights. Heroes and geniuses are emerging one after another. In the next generation’s starfield struggle, how are we supposed to contend with them?"
An Oracle-grade from another starfield sighed as he gazed at Faustus’s spirited back. Then, thinking of rising talents like James and Mosi in the Canaan Starfield as well, he suddenly felt that the future was bleak.
In comparison, his own starfield could not even produce a single genius capable of standing beside them!
"If this continues, the future of our starfield may be far from optimistic... It is time to devote our full strength to cultivating the new generation."
The various Oracle-grades secretly gritted their teeth. Each of them began calculating that after returning, they had to advise their leaders on this matter.
The long-shelved plan to cultivate new stars had to be launched immediately.
The Oracle-grade from the Samuel Starfield wore a grave expression as he thought to himself.
"Although the backbone Strength of the major starfields consists of Divine-grade powerhouses, top-tier quasi-sages absolutely cannot be underestimated."
"My Samuel Starfield may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Canaan Starfield in terms of the number of sages, but when it comes to the foundation of top-tier demi-sage ranks, we have already been left far behind... We must find a way to increase our starfield’s reserves of demi-sage rank talents. Otherwise, the future will be worrying."
If they could not surpass their rivals among the younger generation, then in the future balance of power between starfields, there would likely be no weight left for the other starfields to place on the scale!
Chanelle, however, was immensely gratified.
Although quasi-sages were like newborn fawns in the Endless Starsea, and only Divine-grade beings and existences above Divine-grade could be considered true powerhouses who had stepped into the star sea, top-tier quasi-sages were still far too rare.
Moreover, once such geniuses broke through, they could reach heights ordinary people could never hope to attain!
Therefore, every starfield’s top-tier demi-sage rank talents were treasures. Someone like Daniel was a treasure among treasures!
...
Budelica Oracle-grade swept his gaze over the many powerhouses before him, his expression relaxed.
Just now, he had truly been sweating for the contestants of his own universe.
Fortunately, Faustus had taken action and stabilized the situation, allowing the heart that had been hanging in his chest to finally settle.
"I hereby announce that the champion of this Starlight Rankings Tournament is..."
"Faustus!"
Budelica Oracle-grade’s voice entered the ears of every spectator.
Whoosh—!
The spectator stands instantly erupted.
"Glory to Faustus!"
"Faustus is invincible! This crown is truly deserved!"
"This victory came so swiftly... Such thunderous momentum will surely forge a legendary Chapter to be passed down through the ages!"
At this moment, the Oracle-grades from the various starfields all surged toward Chanelle, their mouths full of endless praise.
No one knew what they truly felt in their hearts, but at the very least, their faces were filled with respect and compliments.
"Congratulations! The Canaan Starfield has seized the crown!"
"Chanelle, you old fellow, I’m truly green with envy. Your starfield actually has an unparalleled genius like Faustus."
"Chanelle, Faustus possesses the potential to become a great Oracle-grade. The future of your starfield is truly promising!"
Chanelle smiled and nodded to them one by one, responding with calm composure.
At this moment, he had already received a secret message from the Golden Holy Mountain headquarters.
"Faustus’s treatment has already been finalized."
Chanelle was overjoyed. This message was like sweet rain descending at exactly the right moment.
He looked toward Faustus’s tall, upright figure, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
This boy was about to soar into the heavens!
Some people sighed quietly. Some secretly clenched their fists. Others silently calculated how they should draw closer to Faustus in the future.
From this moment on, the eyes of this starry sky would gather more and more upon that rising new star.
...
Whoosh—!
The figure of the Lord of Starvault Sanctum appeared out of thin air on the high platform.
Budelica Oracle-grade bowed respectfully, then withdrew.
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum was a supreme powerhouse at Oracle-grade T8, the helmsman of the Budelica Starfield’s Starvault Sanctum.
For this tournament, he was both the organizer and the host.
Daniel and Dustin bowed to the Lord of Starvault Sanctum at the same time.
"Sanctum Lord."
"Your Excellency."
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum smiled and nodded. He swept an appreciative glance over Daniel before his gaze finally landed on Dustin.
"Dustin, how was it?"
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum smiled as he spoke.
Dustin gave a bitter smile. "I lost. I am sincerely convinced."
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum said warmly, "Winning and losing are minor matters. It is good that you were not injured. Go and rest first."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Dustin answered respectfully. Then, with a meaningful glance at Daniel, he left on his own.
Since he had lost, he ought to leave the stage.
Only the true king was worthy of standing on the platform and receiving the cheers.
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum extended his hand. Two clusters of light appeared in his palm.
"Faustus, these are your rewards for winning the championship."
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum said, "Do not underestimate them just because there is only one Divine-grade secret treasure and one Divine-grade secret art. Both of these are the very best among the best, enough for you to use all the way until you reach the Oracle-grade realm."
Daniel’s eyes lit up.
If even the Lord of Starvault Sanctum personally called them supreme-quality items, then how heaven-defying must they be?
Whoosh—!
The clusters of light slowly flew toward Daniel.
Faustus reached out, and the two clusters of light landed lightly in his palm.
Seeing that he had accepted the rewards, the Lord of Starvault Sanctum spoke gently.
"Next, I will spend three days explaining the mysteries of the universe and my insights on advancement. How much you can gain from it will depend entirely on yourself."
He paused, then deliberately added, "The content I will speak on is the path of the sage rank."
"A lecture on the Dao? And personally delivered by a T8 Oracle-grade!"
When Daniel heard this, his eyes immediately shone with brilliance.
He knew that this was the Lord of Starvault Sanctum deliberately reminding him.
The path of the sage rank!
A quasi-sage only possessed a portion of the characteristics of the Divine-grade, while the most fundamental core of the Divine-grade was the sage rank.
The Lord of Starvault Sanctum had deliberately chosen to explain the path of the sage rank. It was clearly tailored for all the demi-sage rank powerhouses present.
This was simply an unexpected delight, and Daniel was naturally filled with anticipation.
"Thank you, Sanctum Lord."
After thanking him, Daniel returned to the seats of the Canaan Starfield.
He had only just sat down when Chanelle’s voice sounded beside his ear.
"Faustus, there is something I need to discuss with you!"
