Apex Realm

The terrifying skill Plane, featuring all characters at the master level, caught [Jianfeng's] eye.

It's somewhat similar to the [Silk Woman] Rainbow Threads. The [Silk Woman] Rainbow Threads he saw in the insect sea in the last era was also like that, with endless skills and Attributes, totaling over a thousand, although most of them didn't have such a high level.

"My stats look pretty good... [Grandmaster of Swordsmanship Lv. EX· Apex Realm] represents 'the Way,' which is also the reason why you haven't been able to break through yet, is that right?"

There is reasonable suspicion that [Jianfeng]' Talent [Grandmaster-level Skill Lv. EX] is a purple level 40 skill, or even higher.

The [Grandmaster-level skill Lv. EX· Apex Realm] has already surpassed the category of Purple Skills; it's unknown whether it has reached the next level.

Gold?

[Scholar's Heartfire Clone]'s mind probing was extremely fast; he only lost the information about [Jianfeng]'s mind after [Man and Blade as One] returned to the state of [Man and Blade as One].

In the Chaos of the Demon Realm, that simple longsword stood proudly, Jingjing suppressing the Chaos in Four Directions.

[Scholar · Heartfire Clone] hovers in the Void, his figure serene, neither attacking nor wielding power.

[Scholar · Heartfire Clone] showed no intention of attacking and did not lower [Jianfeng's] guard.

At this level, it's very difficult to detect the attack animation before a face-to-face encounter between powerful individuals. Any attack animation can be concealed by various means, just like when [Mephisto Dark Star] broke free of his avatar to counterattack.

[Jianfeng] even suspected that the opponent had no attack wind-up.

Su Luo truly had no intention of attacking.

His consciousness had already descended upon this Clone a long time ago, and even the path [Jianfeng] took to find [Mephisto Dark Star] was secretly altered by him.

The real test had already been completed during the battle between [Jianfeng] and [Mephisto Dark Star], and even during [Jianfeng]'s previous battle with the Demon God.

[Mephisto Dark Star] has used [Jianfeng]'s Last Resort, so Su Luo no longer needs to play it safe.

"You are a pawn of [Wu Guang], preparing to use your Talent to collect the Demon God Authority in the [Demon Realm] in order to control it."

This sounds familiar.

[Wu Guang] wants [Jianfeng] to follow the path that Su Luo held in the previous era, the Heavenly Dao Authority.

Even the power of the Demon God Authority in the Demon Realm is stronger than the power of the Heavenly Dao Authority in the previous era.

The energy level carried by the [Demon Realm] is inherently stronger than that of the previous era. Each of these Demon Gods is an existence above the Dao Lord. Moreover, if [Jianfeng] takes control of the [Myriad Transformations] Authority, he will directly control one-seventh of it.

However, the method of obtaining the [Demon Realm] Authority in this era is different from that in the previous era. In the previous era, it was obtained through proving one's Dao, while in this era, it is inherent to the [Demon God].

But why didn't we see [Jianfeng] in the last era?

"Why haven't I seen you in the last era? Your strength shouldn't be unknown." Su Luo asked directly, sticking to her point.

[Jianfeng] remained silent throughout, instead keeping a close eye on the Heartfire Clone, gaining a general understanding of [the Scholar].

He seems to be in pretty good spirits.

[Jianfeng] It's been a long time since I've seen Survivor like this. Not to mention the Survivors in my own Survival World who are all nurtured by Evil Gods and their retinues.

Survivors from other worlds, whose souls have been immersed in Life and Death battles for a long time, all exude a sense of fragmentation and tension.

You're the most relaxed Survivor I've seen recently.

[Jianfeng] and [Scholar] currently have no conflict of interest.

Similarly, there are no [Wu Guang] or [Scholars ] either; the events of the previous era have no relation to this one.

One hundred and fifty Dungeon are enough to accommodate all the Rainbow Badge and powerful Gold-Label Survivors, which actually hides a better solution:

A group of people who considered themselves strong enough could easily join forces in advance to eliminate all the remaining weak Survivors and nip any potential Future risks in the bud.

Jianfeng even believes that the correct approach to this Large Dungeon be for the Rainbow Badge survivors to team up with the Gold-Label Survivors they know and work together to eliminate all the remaining Survivors.

But he didn't speak; he had already said everything that was needed to express the spirit of this era, and so he remained silent.

Su Luo to be deep in thought and remained silent.

On the massive, thousands-of-miles-long corpse of the Demon God, two figures, one human and one sword, silently confronted each other across the desolate, skeletal wilderness.

"Will the Authority of [Myriad Transformations] be of any help to you?" After a long silence, Su Luo finally spoke.

"[Wu Guang] sent you to seize the Authority of [Myriad Transformations], probably just because you have a ton of skills and [Basic Long Saber] is immune to all forms of attack, so you want to 'Myriad Transformations with your sword'?"

Su Luo paused for a moment, her gaze falling on the sword. "If you can truly gather all the fragments and seize the complete Authority of the Myriad Transformations Demon God to empower yourself, then where should you place your own sword?"

"You'll never reach your so-called 'Apex Realm' this way. In other words, your progress in this era will be negligible."

Su Luo saw the end point that Jianfeng had pursued his entire life.

During the brief glimpse into the other's mind, in the turbulent scene, the only background element was a sharp, ever-slashing longsword.

What [Jianfeng] pursues is the pure essence of the sword.

If there were no Survival Game, he would continue to suppress his enemies in his original world, wielding his long sword, until he dies along with it.

Without the Talent [Battle System], what he pursues and the weapon he uses will still be a knife. Although he may die because he cannot pass the "Survival Filter" in the struggle for survival, he will still only be a knife.

External things may change, and techniques may be innovated, but the tenacity rooted in life has never been replaced.

I can help you improve.

"How can we help?" [Jianfeng] finally couldn't help but ask.

A lone swordsman may be taciturn, but if a little more passion can improve his swordsmanship, he's willing to become a firearm.

The Talent [Battle System] can indeed consume exclusive combat resources to forcibly increase skill levels. He often relies on this mechanism to hone his swordsmanship, dismantling and absorbing the essence of others' exquisite swordsmanship, which is like art, and slowly precipitating it into the killing intent in his own bones.

However, once the Craft reaches Lv. EX, no matter how many rare resources are invested or how many life-or-death battles are fought to gain enlightenment, that invisible barrier remains unmoved.

The Craft itself has reached a certain limit; any further improvements are merely cold, hard numbers with continuously diminishing marginal returns.

No matter how much you fight or how much you try to understand, the path to the [Apex Realm] is forever blocked by a thick Mist.

Is it an insight?

Is it persistence?

Is it willpower?

He didn't know that there were no such resources in his Survival World. If it weren't for the exclusive combat resources of the [Battle System], he would have been dead long ago.

The vast majority of Survivor lack flexibility and only stick to one path have long been eliminated in round after round of selection.

[Jianfeng] is probably one in a billion, a rare exception who has survived to this day.
