Chapter 110: Myth-Grade! Two of Them!
Outside the Secret Realm, when Liu Anran, Yi Xing, and Zhou Qi were teleported out, the sixth-ranks of the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire were all utterly shocked. “They ca out alive?”
“Why are these Chinese still alive?”
All thirty-four of their nations’ Class Users had died. Every last one of them had been teleported out as a corpse.
Yet these few Chinese did not even seem especially strong, so why were they the ones who survived?
In contrast, the people of China were overjoyed. “As long as they made it out alive, that’s enough!”
The one who spoke was a mature woman of clear, unearthly beauty. A bright yellow dress draped itself over her graceful figure...She was also one of only two won among China’s sixth-ranks, the Hundred Flowers King, Shi Qing.
Liu Anran and the other two were just about to hurry to their own side’s powerhouses when Dracula said darkly, “Wait. Since you ca out of the Secret Realm, surely you should let us see what you obtained?”
“And what gives you the right?” Spear King Tong Mo said coldly.
The mont those words were spoken, the atmosphere between both sides turned razor-sharp. Especially for Dracula, Arthur, and the others, it was as if all pretenses had finally been torn away.
Since they could not seize the treasures from within the Secret Realm, then they would simply rob them!
And of course, China could see exactly what they were thinking.
Facing the enemy’s seven sixth-ranks, Spear King Tong Mo said over his shoulder, “Get the three children out first.”
“Wait, there’s still one person inside the Secret Realm. He’s clearing the final trial by himself!” Yi Xing said in a low voice.
The people of China were all stunned. “Clearing the final trial alone?”
Would he even be able to co out alive...?
But since one person was still inside, they could not just withdraw so easily.
Liu Anran secretly took out the squirrel Shadow Clone and tried to use it to inform Ye Ze of the situation outside...
Yet she discovered that after leaving the Secret Realm, although the connection between the clone and its Summoner had not been severed, ssages could no longer be sent through thought.
It was as though a friend on a list was still there, but had gone offline.
The mont she realized that information could no longer be transmitted, Liu Anran looked at the squirrel Shadow Clone in her hand and decisively said,
“You’ll have to suffer a little.”
As soon as she spoke, spatial ripples surged forth and directly crushed the squirrel Shadow Clone to pieces.
“Once the Shadow Clone dies, I hope Ye Ze notices that sothing is wrong.”
“At the very least, he can make so preparations before he leaves the Secret Realm.”
...
“The squirrel clone I sent out died?”
Sensing that, Ye Ze thought to himself, “So the clone can’t transmit information, and the situation outside is unfavorable...”
If there were no danger outside, Liu Anran would have had no reason to kill the Shadow Clone.
And if Liu Anran had not killed that Shadow Clone herself, then the situation would be even more dangerous...With that thought, Ye Ze shook his head and refocused on the trial statue before him.
“No matter what, I should clear the Secret Realm first!”
The faceless stone man before him, with its three heads, six arms, and long spear in hand, was impossible to gauge, but there was no doubt it would be anything but weak!
【The third-layer trial stage is now open — defeat the trial statue!】
【Note: The statue will possess the sa attributes as the strongest being present.】
【You may withdraw from the trial stage at any ti and claim a consolation prize.】
He could withdraw at any ti?
This stage was likely countless tis harder than the second layer!
“As for the strongest one here... that ans it’ll have the sa attributes as Panda!?”
Ye Ze was startled for a mont, and then he saw the faceless stone man’s attributes change...
800 Strength, 900 Constitution, 950 Agility! Exactly the sa as Panda!
But instead of panicking, Ye Ze was delighted. “With equal attributes, you think that ans you can win?”
He did not summon the others. He let Panda face the faceless stone man alone in single combat!
Under equal attributes, Ye Ze was confident that Panda would not lose to any opponent!
Besides, against an enemy with the sa attributes as Panda, sending the other Summoned Beasts in together would not actually do much.
Inside the trial ground, Panda’s fist and the stone man’s fist collided with a thunderous crash, and the battle erupted at once!
Boom!
The blue-gray ground of the trial arena cracked continuously under the force of their clashing blows, while waves of force spread outward.
This trial stone man was clearly nothing but stone, yet in close combat it was actually evenly matched with Martial Saint Panda!
The two were true equals in combat technique and killing power.
“Master, there’s Spiritual Energy inside that stone man too!”
The Fox Immortal suddenly warned him from the side.
But the instant her words fell, flas burst from the tip of the stone spear in the stone man’s hand, carving out a crescent-like arc of blazing sharpness.
Even Panda could not absorb those flas.
“Is that a mystic fla?”
Ye Ze suddenly rembered sothing. It was said that certain races cultivated unique natural elents until they transcended ordinary elental force, far stronger than common water or fire.
Among them, fire-type effects were the most outstanding, and were known as mystic flas.
For example, the Endbringer Magic Dragon’s [Cataclysmic Black Fla], that black demonic fire, could also be counted as a kind of mystic fla.
But the fire used by this stone man seed even stronger than an ordinary mystic fla!
Panda let out a roar.
Since the stone man was going to unleash such power, then he would have to fight with everything he had as well!
[Martial Saint Domain], activate!
From beneath Panda’s feet rose a Taiji pattern like a vast formation, instantly covering the entire trial arena.
The arena itself was not particularly large.
Ordinarily, when facing a stone man with terrifying close-combat strength, such a cramped space would be a natural disadvantage, because there was nowhere to dodge.
But this ti, because the arena was too small, the stone man had no chance at all of escaping the Domain!
In an instant, the stone man’s attributes fell to half of Panda’s!
At that mont, the stone man sensed the threat.
Its stone body suddenly began to swell, from three ters to five, then ten, then fifteen...
The armor on its surface and the patterns on its spear grew more and more distinct, yet its face remained a blank blue-gray void with no features at all.
“It can grow larger? Good. So can we!”
Ye Ze could not help laughing softly, clearly looking forward to what ca next.
“Super Enhancent — Primordial Phantom!”
At once, a violent wind rose, and around Panda condensed a terrifying bronze Phantom of Chi You, far more exaggerated than it had been on the first layer!
One gigantic phantom war god and one colossal stone giant swollen to dozens of ters tall.
With only two combatants, the entire trial arena already felt crowded!
“This is practically a clash between giant chs!”
Ye Ze watched with obvious interest, while before him the Fox Immortal used Spiritual Energy to construct a protective barrier, just in case the aftershocks reached them.
It turned out that this spiritual barrier was indeed very useful.
The two “giants” exchanged another punch, and the force of the collision exploded outward in waves as dust and broken stone flew in every direction.
But this ti, it was no longer a draw.
One of the stone man’s six arms was smashed apart by the Phantom of Chi You, broken rocks crashing down to the ground one after another.
If anyone else had witnessed that scene, they would likely have been terrified.
It was as though two small mountains were crashing into each other in savage combat.
After transforming, the stone man was clearly far stronger. If it had been facing any other enemy with equal attributes, victory would have been almost certain.
Unfortunately for it, Martial Saint Panda now had both [Martial Saint Domain] and [Primordial Phantom - Super].
Even Ye Ze himself had no idea how anyone was supposed to fight that!
The only unexpected part was this: the flas at the tip of the stone man’s spear actually burned the Phantom of Chi You badly in several places!
This was the first ti Ye Ze had ever seen the Primordial Phantom get injured!
No wonder the stone man only needed attributes equal to its opponent’s... this ability was absurdly overpowered!
Fortunately, though, the Phantom of Chi You could take the damage!
And since the stone man was trapped inside the Domain, its attributes were only half of Panda’s. Every punch from Panda blasted another part of its body apart.
Then, nearly five minutes later, with a crash, the stone man’s body finally collapsed completely!
Panda also returned to his original form, and the trial ground was no longer shrouded beneath those towering figures.
【You have cleared the third-layer statue trial!】
The mont he heard the clear notification, excitent surged through Ye Ze.
The final trial had been cleared!
If nothing unexpected happened, he would finally get to see a myth-grade item co into being!
At that mont, the scene before Ye Ze changed again. He was teleported from outside the cave abode to its interior.
There, before him, appeared two lotus platforms...And on each of them hovered a phantom with an aura above even the legendary grade:
one was the phantom of a fla.
The other was the phantom of a spear.
“Are these my rewards?” Ye Ze rubbed his hands together in excitent.
Yet in the next mont, the Secret Realm prompt dumped cold water over his head:
【You are qualified to unlock the Secret Realm’s final exchange —】
【Spend 1000 Lotus Petals to exchange for one of them. Each reward includes one myth-grade item one Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill!】
A thousand petals for just one!?
He only had a little over a thousand in total!
“So I have to give up one of them?”
Ye Ze scratched his head helplessly.
I’m already an adult, and you still expect to choose?
Although either option was already excellent, containing both a myth-grade item and a Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill,
as Ye Ze looked at the two phantoms on the lotus platforms... one was fire, the other a spear. No matter what they specifically were, he did not want to give up either one!
“Looks like I’ll have to cheat again...”
Ye Ze decisively took out the Evil Ghost Mask. “You forced my hand.”
Then he considered how to modify the rule so that he could exchange for both at once...
“Cut the number of petals required for each reward in half!”
He had 1000 in hand. If the cost were reduced to 500 each, then he could exchange for both.
【“Modify the final exchange price from 1000 petals to 500 petals” requires 18000 Source Power!】
“How much!?”
“Are you mocking ?”
Ye Ze looked at his remaining balance of 950 Source Power and fell into silence.
After thinking for a long while, he finally understood the problem.
The rules he had modified before, such as ignoring the backpack restriction, opening the exchange point door, delaying teleportation, and the like...had all had relatively small effects on the Secret Realm itself, so the amount of Source Power required had been low.
But this ti, he was trying to forcibly snatch one extra myth-grade item from the Secret Realm itself!
That was why the Source Power requirent was so terrifying.
Thinking of that, Ye Ze tried several other thods of changing the rules: buy one get one free, changing the items required for the exchange, and so on...None of them worked. In fact, they required even more Source Power!
And so...in the end, Ye Ze took out the other two Origin Fragnts: Mirage and Ba.
Mirage had dropped from a Demon King he had killed, while Ba had been given to him by Wan Feipeng.
Although these two fragnts were not as powerful as the Evil Ghost Mask, they could be devoured by the Evil Ghost and converted into Source Power!
He had tested this before. One Origin Fragnt could restore 10,000 Source Power!
After witnessing the Evil Ghost Mask’s abilities, Ye Ze had originally wanted to keep those Origin Fragnts. Perhaps if he gathered them all, the final effect would be comparable to a myth-grade item!
But now, with myth-grade items lying right before him...Ye Ze wanted both of them.
Which ant the Mirage and Ba Origin Fragnts probably could not be spared.
He fed the two Origin Fragnts to the Evil Ghost Mask, and it erupted with purple light, absorbing both fragnts into itself as energy!
【Devoured Origin Fragnt ‘Mirage’ and ‘Ba.’ Source Power restored 20000!】
【Current remaining Source Power: 20950!】
“Rule modification! Halve the exchange cost!”
After eting the condition, Ye Ze’s expression turned urgent at once.
【18000 Source Power consud. Rule modification successful!】
Ye Ze looked at the exchange cost of the two rewards now... just as expected, each had beco 500 Lotus Petals!
In truth, the Secret Realm itself had probably never imagined that anyone could take away both myth-grade rewards.
After all, the combined total of all the Lotus Petals from the first and second layers probably did not even reach 2000!
But now, Ye Ze had done exactly that.
“Exchange!”
A thousand Lotus Petals stread like flowing water toward the two lotus platforms, slowly forming complete lotus pedestals.
Then the rewards atop those pedestals transford from phantoms into reality!
On the first lotus platform, the fla drifted into Ye Ze’s hand.
Although its searing heat felt capable of burning all things beneath heaven, once it landed in Ye Ze’s palm, it felt only warm, as natural and obedient as though it were part of his own body.
【Reward obtained: Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill ×1, myth-grade mystic fla - Samadhi True Fire!】
“Samadhi True Fire!!!”
Ye Ze was stunned. Looking at the fla in his hand, which seed almost alive, he was filled with delight.
He knew this fla all too well!
He suddenly realized that the fire which had burned the Phantom of Chi You earlier had most likely been Samadhi True Fire!
And now, Samadhi True Fire was completely under Ye Ze’s control. It could be used however he wished, for attack, defense, and more...
【Samadhi True Fire: A divine fla, the fire that burns all things. It will not vanish before the enemy is burned to death; it may also be used to refine essence, concoct pills, and forge artifacts.】
From this one reward alone, Ye Ze already felt that this trip into the Secret Realm had earned him a fortune.
Yet that was not all.
On the other lotus platform, the spear condensed into reality.
Its central spearhead curved slightly, with two sharp side prongs. Its tassel was made of violet flas, and snake-like patterns coiled around the shaft. It looked incomparably majestic!
【Reward obtained: Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill ×1, myth-grade weapon - Purple-Fla Serpent-Spear Fire-Tipped Lance!】
It was actually this spear!
Perhaps so people would not recognize it, but Ye Ze knew it very well.
This was Nezha’s weapon from myth!
When its radiance flared, heaven and earth grew dim; when it breathed forth cold mist, even the sun lost its light!
Even in mythology, it ranked among the great divine weapons and immortal treasures!
The mont the Fire-Tipped Lance fell into his hands, heaven and earth trembled, as though endless power had co surging forth!
That made Ye Ze say with a hint of amusent, “Both of these items seem to belong to Nezha...”
“At this rate, I’m practically looting Nezha clean.”
And at that very mont, a flash of inspiration struck him, and it was as though the na of this Secret Realm suddenly appeared in his mind...Qianyuan Mountain.
【All rewards have been exchanged. Secret Realm - Qianyuan Mountain will now close permanently!】
Since both rewards had gone to Ye Ze, it was only natural for the Secret Realm to close permanently.
The Secret Realm was finally over.
Looking at this round of gains—two Seventh-Rank Advancent Pills, Samadhi True Fire, and the Fire-Tipped Lance—Ye Ze was overwheld with excitent!
There were still dozens of pieces of snatched equipnt in his backpack that he had not even had ti to feed yet.
He had profited beyond asure!
“Wonderful!”
Ye Ze sighed in satisfaction, only to discover that he had been teleported straight out of the Secret Realm.
It seed the Secret Realm itself did not want him lingering inside any longer.
The instant Ye Ze appeared at the entrance to the instance, he saw that the experts on both sides were already locked in fierce battle!
Only sixth-ranks were participating. China’s four were fighting against the seven from the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire.
This ti, for the sake of myth-grade items, Dracula, Arthur, and the others were fighting with everything they had. Several of China’s people were already wounded.
Tong Mo and the Azure-Robed King in particular were badly injured. As the strongest on China’s side, the two of them were being suppressed by four opponents at once.
The mont Ye Ze appeared, soone imdiately roared, “The last one is out!!!”
“Seize him!!!”
Dracula’s face twisted savagely as he instantly turned and charged at Ye Ze.
Tong Mo and the others were being suppressed even more heavily, and had no ti to rescue him. Liu Anran, who was being protected in the rear, imdiately prepared a spell to teleport Ye Ze over.
But Dracula moved too quickly. His pair of vicious blood-colored claws had already reached Ye Ze’s face!
A smile of savage delight appeared on his pale face.
“The myth-grade treasure is mine!”
In the very next second, the corner of Ye Ze’s mouth curved up as well.
Samadhi True Fire suddenly ignited before Dracula’s face!
Then a scream rang out—agonized, shrill, and utterly horrifying.
“Arghhh—!!!”
