Mu Yuan had once witnessed an extreme powerhouse break through to the Legendary Realm in Panshi City.
At the time, Lord Zhuo, a top-ranked Dragon Gate List powerhouse known as the Desert Mad Axe, had spent 170 seconds breaking through the Barrier of Heaven, beginning to command the power of heaven and earth and stepping into the Legendary Realm.
What about General Duo Lai? It had taken only 20 seconds.
Most of that time had been spent adjusting and elevating its ultimate sublimation. As the first general in Tian Yuan Territory to attempt a breakthrough into the Legendary Realm, it lacked experience and sufficiently detailed guidance. During this breakthrough, several of its steps had indeed been less than perfect.
Mu Yuan could tell.
For example, at the very beginning, when Duo Lai underwent ultimate sublimation, it had not pushed its momentum to the absolute peak. As a result, it had later needed to spend several more seconds adjusting its ultimate sublimation state.
This had not only wasted time but also consumed a huge amount of "firewood."
If an extreme powerhouse could not break through the High Barrier of Heaven before its firewood burned out, it would either fall or suffer severe injuries, with its life force greatly diminished.
If a minor mistake like Duo Lai's had occurred in another extreme powerhouse, it might well have meant the difference between life and death, or between a successful breakthrough and serious injury.
"After all, Duo Lai has no experience. The time it truly had to prepare for a breakthrough into the Legendary Realm may have amounted to only a few days."
What could a few days accomplish? It could not even finish reading all the relevant material.
Lord Exquisite, on the other hand, had studied, reviewed, and repeatedly gone over the materials
