Original Secret Realm's Number One, Kan Zhao!

Chaos City, Lin Yan's Cultivation Residence.

Inside the lounge.

"The staff at the Virtual Universe Company are quite efficient. It's not even been half a day, and it's already been delivered to Chaos City." Lin Yan sat on the sofa, stroking a black World Ring, and smiled slightly.

Laugh!

A wisp of World Power seeped into the black World Ring, imprinting its own Spiritual Imprint, and simultaneously extending into A World within the World Ring.

This is a Small World, about 200 kilometers in diameter. In the center of this Small World is a lake with a diameter of over 100 kilometers. The water in the lake is pale gold and exudes a cold, chilling aura.

But this is not water; it is an extremely precious Nutrient Fluid.

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, "The Nutrient Fluid that provided me with the power to evolve to the World Lord peak is far more valuable than the 'Loch God Water' I obtained before!"

All three of his clones need to be upgraded, and there are also Special Lifeform like the Green Line Devouring Worm with heaven-defying Life Gene Level, so the Nutrient Fluid they need is naturally terrifying.

While the previous Loch God Water Lake was worth billions of Hun Yuan Unit, it was undoubtedly far inferior to this Nutrient Fluid lake.

Only powerful entities like Virtual Universe Company, with their deep pockets, can afford to bear this cost to all Core Layer members.

"Let the Xue Qiao Clone also break through to the World Lord level."

Lin Yan's heart stirred.

The Inner World.

On the vast Central Continent, the Xue Qiao Clone has returned to its original form, its massive body resembling a blood-red mountain range, with a torrent of World Power constantly flowing into its body.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." A noisy buzzing sound of bees came from the Blood Hound's body. Its body grew larger at a visible speed, and its blood-red scales became denser. There was even a faint transparent layer on the surface of the scales.

"Ao Wu..."

The Blood Hound raised its two ferocious heads and let out a joyful roar that shook the entire endless world, announcing that it had finally stepped into the World Lord level.

Whoosh!

Its body rapidly shrank to only a dozen kilometers in length before being absorbed into that Small World, where it sank into the cold and precious Nutrient Fluid with a loud bang.

Lin Yan himself also entered it.

Streams of vibrant energy rapidly penetrated deep into his body through every pore of his skin. This strange, life-giving power, once it entered the cellular genetic material, immediately began to drive the improvement and evolution of that material.

His skin became more radiant, his bones denser, his muscle fibers more concentrated, and his explosive power greater.

Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain, Original Zone.

In the study of Lin Yan Manor.

On the screen was a figure shrouded in mist, who said in a low voice, "Lin Yan, a member of the Original Secret Realm World Lord Level, you have conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Cosmic level and Domain Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain. Therefore, the Virtual Universe Company has rewarded you with 3.1 billion points. You should use these 3.1 billion points to strengthen your strength so that you will have a better chance of survival in the upcoming extraterrestrial war."

"Understood." Lin Yan stood in front of the screen.

The figure's voice paused, then subtly shifted. "I wish you a long and successful life in the extraterritorial wars, and that you will become a new super-strongman of the human race."

Then the communication was cut off.

Moment.

The chibi version of Wind Queen on his shoulder prompted, "Master, 3.1 billion points have been credited to your account."

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, sitting down at his desk. "3.1 billion points are not very meaningful. It would be more interesting if we could break through the World Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain."

World Master is the most important stage of cultivation.

The Virtual Universe Company cultivates geniuses. The Cosmic level only undertakes some Cultivation Mission and lives in the secret realm. The Domain Lord level is only given some tasks to carry out and is protected by the Guard Army. Overall, they are very safe and there is not much threat.

Even in special circumstances like Lin Yan's, in order to deal with assassination attempts by Alien Race, he would even have the top Universe Overlord "Venerable Ancestor Tree" secretly protect him during his time as Domain Lord level.

However, eagles only grow stronger by experiencing storms time and time again, and true super-strong beings must have gone through countless battles and fights.

Therefore, the benefits gained from Cosmic level and Domain Lord level Original Secret Realm Original Secret Realm not significant.

What's truly enviable is the resource allocation obtained by the "Original Secret Realm World Lord".

Taking the Original Tongtian Mountain as an example, upon becoming World Master, one will be directly rewarded with 100 million points after passing through the "Cosmic level" Original Tongtian Mountain.

By passing through the "Domain Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain, one will be directly rewarded with 3 billion points upon becoming World Master.

Passing through the "World Lord level" Original Tongtian Mountain will directly reward you with 100 billion points.

Lin Yan had conquered the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Cosmic level and Domain Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, and was now World Master. Naturally, he was rewarded with 3.1 billion points. However, since he already had wealth of hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, he didn't feel much about the 3.1 billion points.

"Master, if others hear you say that, they'll be furious."

Wind Queen said speechlessly, "3.1 billion points is comparable to the entire wealth of Feng Wang expert. Other World Lord level members can't even dream of it. You actually said that the 100 billion points of the World Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain are only 'somewhat interesting'!"

There are 100 spots available for the Original Secret Realm World Lord level members.

After becoming the Original Secret Realm World Lord, the first "World Lord level Qualification Battle" will reward the first-ranked player with 1 billion points, the second to tenth-ranked players with 300 million points, and the eleventh to 100th-ranked players with 100 million points.

Certainly...

This resource reward is only valid for the first Qualification Battle; there will be no reward for the second, third,... tenth, or hundredth Qualification Battle.

Because each World Master may need different secret techniques, treasures and other resources, it is simply to issue points. However, the chances of getting into the top ten in the first World Lord level Qualification Battle are extremely low, let alone first place. The vast majority of people will get 100 million points.

Unlike before, items that were very cheap now, items worth 1 Hun Yuan Unit may cost 10 points. The purchasing power of these points increases as the game progresses.

Many things cannot be bought with Hun Yuan Unit, but the treasure vault is all-encompassing and can be easily exchanged for the secret techniques, treasures, and so on that one needs.

These 100 million points have a purchasing power exceeding 100 million Hun Yuan Unit.

The assets of Feng Wang Immortal God are mostly in the tens of millions of Hun Yuan Unit.

Therefore, each Original Secret Realm World Lord is relatively wealthy and can use these points to have excellent development opportunities.

However, it is basically impossible for them to obtain 3.1 billion points at the World Lord level. Only a very few geniuses or those with extraordinary opportunities will have this possibility.

"Even if Mother Emperor Ilina Law Comprehension enough, she will still need hundreds of billions of points to break through to immortality. The resources and treasures required for the evolution of the Sha Luo Flower are even more expensive, and the probability is low." Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Trillions of points... even if she had passed through the World Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain, she would still be far from it."

"But once they reach immortality, they can be called 'invincible below the Universe Venerable,' and through certain means, they can even improve further, making them of great value for cultivation."

Ordinary Plant Lifeform means little to him.

The Sha Luo Flower represents a tenfold Gene Level, and the Zerg Mother Queen is equally extraordinary. Lin Yan naturally wanted to cultivate her, but the exorbitant cost of trillions of points was simply too much for him.

His current Law Comprehension is at the 18th Floor of the Tongtian Bridge, but there is a major gap every three levels of the Tongtian Bridge. Even with the amazing Soul Amplitude, passing the 19th level is the limit, and there is a huge gap to the 20th level, not to mention the World Lord level Tongtian Mountain.

He thought to himself, "First, I need to push my body to the World Lord peak and wait for the Green Line Devouring Worm to evolve as well. Then my strength will be able to withstand risks. The Sha Luo Flower and the Zerg Mother Queen are not the most urgent matters. The most important thing is that my own strength needs to be further improved!"

"The only pity is that... the Black Hole Sacred Body has not yet reached the second level. If it could have a similar ability to 'teleport,' it would be an extremely valuable trump card!"

The cultivation of the Black Hole Sacred Body is indeed more difficult than imagined. He has not yet reached the second level. Therefore, even though he has comprehended the second level of "Wormhole Effect" in "The Primordial Beginning", he still lacks the necessary conditions to apply it to his own trans-space transformation.

But...

Lin Yan raised his eyes, a hint of anticipation in them.

One must always take things one step at a time. He still has many shortcomings, so there's no need for him to dream of instant success.

Virtual Universe.

Original Zone, Lecture Hall No. 1.

It is 80 kilometers long and 60 kilometers wide, much larger than an average city on Earth, but the chances of it actually opening are not many.

Hall 2 is open to lectures by King-level Immortal God, while Hall 1 is only opened when Universe Venerable gives a lecture.

At the very back of Hall 1 are more than a hundred seats. Now, every now and then, members of the Original Zone transform into streaks of light, rushing across dozens of kilometers to arrive at their seats.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan also appeared in Hall 1.

As one of the three personal disciples of the Mu Xing Country Lord, and the only one who is not Universe Venerable, Lin Yan can now consult his teachers at any time. Moreover, he also has King Tian Yu teacher and King Tong Nan teacher. In addition, his Law Comprehension is already very high, so Lin Yan rarely attends classes anymore.

After all, those Feng Wang Immortal God give lectures are not necessarily much stronger than him, so it's unlikely he'll gain anything here. It's really unnecessary.

But today is special. The lecturer is not only the Universe Venerable, but also the Nine Swords Venerable who presided over his year's Genius Battle!

Even if his situation prevents him from being placed under the Nine Swords Venerable's command, attending the lecture today is simply a matter of basic etiquette.

Wow!

The moment he appeared in the lecture building, the entire Hall 1 fell silent. Almost all of the nearly one hundred Primal Secret Region Member who came to listen to the lecture stared at him.

It was as if Lin Yan was at the center of the vortex.

This was his first public appearance since becoming the World Master.

Unlike before, when Lin Yan was just a newcomer to the Original Secret Realm, Lin Yan is now a household name in the Core of the Human Race, let alone the Primal Secret Region Member. There is no one who is unaware of the many feats he has accomplished.

In such a short time, they have managed to reach this point, making even the most outstanding geniuses of Cosmic Humans pale in comparison.

It was as if they were merely the light of fireflies, which could no longer Fensun when the sun rose to the top of the sky.

They witnessed the birth of a legend, but what destined them to suffer was that they were born in an era where they could only play a supporting role.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan looked around and randomly found a seat near the front.

From the moment he sat down, the entire Hall 1 fell silent, without a single whisper.

Surprisingly... because the Domain Lord level Qualification Battle had not yet begun, the entire Original Secret Realm still maintained a total of 115 people, who gradually gathered here, with no one absent.

This scene is almost unprecedented.

World Lord level members are usually undergoing Life and Death Hone. Even when Universe Overlord is giving a lecture, it is almost impossible for them to all gather. But this time... they all came for the first time ever.

Suddenly--

"Hello, Lin Yan." A voice with a metallic quality sounded beside him.

Lin Yan looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a burly man, eight meters tall, with bronze skin and a robust build, standing a few meters to the right front of his seat. He was wearing a strangely styled black battle suit and looked rather simple and honest, but his eyes were very bright, as if they contained the light of a blade.

It was immediately apparent that this burly man belonged to one of the most terrifying and powerful human races— the Aragami Race.

The Aragami Race and the Manka Star Race joined forces to rule a powerful human Universe Country called the "Barbaric Universe Country." Although the two races had very small populations, they were the core of the entire Barbaric Universe Country, the truly supreme royal families!

The name of the Universe Country also reveals that among the two races, the Aragami Race is more powerful and has extremely strong combat talent. Together with the Yan Poluo race, they are known as the "Battle Races"!

According to Lin Yan, the Tribe Leader of the Aragami Race is also a Universe Overlord of humanity.

Lin Yan nodded. "Hello, Kan Zhao."

There were only about a hundred people in the Original Secret Realm, so he naturally knew the other party's identity: Kan Zhao, Original Secret Realm World Lord -level member.

Information about the other party quickly flashed through his mind.

Kan Zhao, who entered the Original Secret Realm as the number one genius in the entire universe during a Genius Battle hundreds of thousands of years ago, was an extremely brilliant genius who went on to become Original Secret Realm World Lord.

After nearly 100,000 years of cultivation at the World Lord level, he passed the 17th level of the Tongtian Bridge. In the first Qualification Battle the Original Secret Realm World Lord, he directly achieved 9th place. In the second Qualification Battle, he achieved 4th place. After that, he achieved 1st place in the 3rd to 5th battles!

It can be said that he is undoubtedly the number one person in the Original Secret Realm!

Lin Yan comprehends realms extremely quickly, but after all, he has only cultivated for a few hundred years. Although these Virtual Universe Company' Original Secret Realm World Lord are far less efficient than him, they have cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, so their Law Comprehension is naturally astonishing, and each of them is at the level of Marquis.

It can be said that... in the Original Secret Realm World Lord, everyone can achieve the World Lord peak and kill an ordinary Immortal God.

Of course, this is only based on their own combat strength. Each of them has hundreds of millions of points to develop, and they also have their own methods.

Furthermore, the top 20 or 30 ranked individuals are approaching the level of enlightenment required to King Rank.

Even the top few have reached the Tongtian Bridge 18th Floor Law Comprehension.

However, the gap between them and "Ke Di" is still very, very large, because the further they go in their Law Comprehension, the more difficult it becomes to advance to the next level. For example, the True Yan King and others are stuck at the 20th level and have not been able to step into the 21st level for hundreds of millions of years, which shows how difficult it is to advance to the next level.

The difficulty increases exponentially.

So the 18th Floor and 20th levels seem very close, but almost every generation of Original Secret Realm World Lord has reached the 18th Floor, but reaching the 20th level... it might only happen once in tens of millions of epochs.

Without a doubt, Kan Zhao is the most dazzling figure in this generation of the Original Secret Realm.

Certainly...

After Lin Yan appeared, that was no longer the case.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Yan asked softly.

He wasn't very familiar with these old people in the Original Secret Realm, but there hadn't been any conflicts between them, and they were still able to maintain a basic friendly relationship.

"I know you've already passed the Tongtian Bridge 18th Floor, and I admire you greatly." Kan Zhao's eyes shone brightly. "Therefore... I hope to fight you in the final battle arena!"

And this scene!

Naturally, this was observed by the other Primal Secret Region Member present. Most of them were not lacking in self-awareness, knowing that they were no match for this peerless genius who had already crossed the 18th Floor of the Heavenly Tongtian Bridge.

But this one is different; this is Kan Zhao!

It is Kan Zhao, who has been the number one person in the Original Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of years!

"What is that Martial Madman Kan Zhao thinking?"

"He actually wants to challenge Lin Yan? He has been through the 18th Floor of the Tongtian Bridge for hundreds of thousands of years and even created his own top-level martial arts technique. How can he still want to challenge Lin Yan, who just passed the 18th Floor of the Tongtian Bridge?"

"Could it be that he's trying to take advantage of Lin Yan's recent breakthrough to become a World Master and give him a hard time? This is ridiculous!"

"Based on my understanding of Kan Zhao, could it be... that he really believes Lin Yan has the strength to fight him?"

"Impossible!"

"How is this possible? Even if the Universe Tongtian Bridge is indeed the most difficult, Lin Yan is still no match for Kan Zhao!"

"Um!"

"Even if Lin Yan is incredibly talented, he hasn't yet experienced the Life and Death Hone, hasn't started Self-created secret technique, and has only been through the 18th Floor for a very short time. Kan Zhao's proposal of this duel is completely meaningless."

The World Master present whispered among themselves.

Each of them had experienced the Qualification Battle for the World Lord level, and they knew Kan Zhao, who had won first place several times, all too well. With his strength, he was enough to suppress the Original Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter how outstanding Lin Yan was, he was not strong enough to be qualified to fight him now.

Of course, things might be different in a few hundred years.

Although their voices were not loud, Lin Yan and Kan Zhao could hear them clearly.

"I know this is an unfair duel," the man from the Aragami Race Clan said apologetically, "But your Law Comprehension the laws is just too fast. Maybe next time we meet, you will have already crossed the 19th level of the Tongtian Bridge."

He paused for a moment.

Then he looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly, "Moreover... I have a feeling that you are still holding back some of your strength, so you may be the most suitable opponent I can meet right now."

These words were spoken.

This surprised and puzzled the group of World Master and domain lords present... After hundreds of years, having achieved such accomplishments, how could they still be holding back?

How is that possible?

But those were Kan Zhao's words, and they didn't seem fake, because he... was indeed a guy with extraordinary combat intuition.

Is it really possible for Lin Yan to defeat Kan Zhao?

This is absolutely insane!

Everyone was waiting for Lin Yan's reply.

Will he really accept Kan Zhao's challenge?

Or will you choose to refuse?

After all, he had no reason to agree.

At this moment—

A figure walked into Lecture Hall No. 1.

It was a man in green robe. He had a handsome face, but his head was covered with purple scales, and his eyes were full of smiles.

He stood there as if he didn't exist, as if he were in a completely different time and space from everyone else.

"Hmm?" He smiled as he looked at the Primal Secret Region Member present.
