Escaping the Grand Array and Returning to Earth

Zhang Mingzhen suddenly raised his hand and unleashed an Eagle Strike. The energy of the giant azure eagle tore through the mist and shot straight toward the dim sun overhead—if he was not mistaken, that was the location of the array's core!

The Kunyu Tribe warrior overseeing the formation outside immediately realized, "Oh no, he's discovered us!"

Kun Shu remained unmoved. "It's alright. If the array's core is so easily destroyed, then the 'Reverse Burial of the Xuanxin,' which serves as the array's core, cannot be called Sacred Tier array."

Before the words were even finished, the ever-fierce and unparalleled Eagle Strike energy collided with the gray sun, and as expected, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

Seeing this, many clansmen breathed a sigh of relief, and "Shi Tianyin's " tense expression eased slightly. "Is your formation truly reliable?"

"Nature..."

Before Kun Shu could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically. "Wait! What is that?!"

Even through the array, he could clearly sense the dramatic change in the aura of the person inside.

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Zhang Mingzhen did not hesitate to take out a crimson pill from his pocket and swallow it.

That's the "Bloodburst Pill" made by the Golden Toad, which can make people Frenzy quickly.

The moment it entered the stomach, the intense medicinal power exploded, causing the blood and qi throughout the body to boil.

I originally thought that this pill had limited effects; although it could greatly increase strength in a short period of time, it would also weaken defense, making it too risky.

Not only is the duration short, but it also causes a state of weakness lasting up to five minutes after consumption, during which time one cannot even use skills, almost equivalent to completely losing the ability to fight.

When the Golden Toad first developed the "Bloodburst Pill" and handed it to him, he had no intention of using it.

Firstly, he was confident in his own abilities; secondly, he felt that the pill had too many flaws, and that a slight mistake could lead to a desperate situation.

But the current situation allows no room for hesitation.

If he can break through the formation within three seconds, he will have a way to escape!

The Eagle Strike materialized once more, but this time it was no longer the giant azure bird from before. Wisps of blood energy swirled around the edge of the skill, clearly an effect of the Bloodburst Pill.

All they saw was a blood-red bird flying straight towards the center of the formation, its passage causing even space to appear to tear apart.

The array's core, which had been hit head-on, was no longer as stable as before; instead, it trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Zhang Mingzhen launched a series of attacks without hesitation, continuously unleashing his offensive on the core of the formation.

Even the hundred Formation Master maintained the array were affected and had to divert their energy to stabilize the array.

However, this level of destruction clearly exceeded the limit that the formation could withstand—fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the formation's core, and it was about to completely collapse!

"Everyone, stop him!"

Kun Shu, standing outside the formation, looked on with barely suppressed rage.

However, the core of the formation couldn't withstand the attack.

Having anticipated this, Zhang Mingzhen used "Super Armor" the instant the formation shattered to block the control skills coming from all directions, and then disappeared from the spot.

The elite forces of both races could only watch helplessly as their target vanished before their very eyes.

Kun Shu's face turned ashen; unable to accept this outcome, he immediately roared:

"Damn it, I was so close! This guy isn't invincible after all!"

"Give us some more time, and we can kill him!"

"Still standing there? Split up and chase after him immediately! He's injured, he can't have gone far!"

However, Shi Tianyin still retained a sliver of composure.

He didn't believe anyone could forcefully break through the Reverse Burial Xuanxin Grand Array without paying a price.

The Kunyu Tribe's great formation is renowned, said to be able to imprison even gods within it. If not for the limitations imposed by the formation's creator, its power would far exceed the Sacred Tier level.

That person could never be as relaxed as they appear.

So he added, "That's right, go after them immediately!"

Zhang Mingzhen had already appeared at the pre-arranged location ten kilometers away.

If he hadn't planted the Yin Banner of Reset Battle Banner beforehand, his escape would likely have been much more difficult.

The Reset Battle Banner is a one-time use item, and it comes in two types: the Yin Banner and the Yang Banner.

After planting the Yin Banner at a location no more than ten kilometers away, the holder of the Yang Banner can teleport to the location of the Yin Banner at any time, and the teleportation does not require chanting and is not restricted by the combat status.

During this trip to another world, the items he exchanged from the Legion Guild proved to be very useful, making his meticulous preparations before the trip worthwhile.

He was somewhat surprised that the Legion Guild could provide so many useful items.

Of course, he knew that the Legion Guild itself was very poor in creativity, but strong in organization and discipline.

In terms of creativity and free expression, it is far inferior to that of the general public.

These items all came from the group of casual players who were being housed.

It now appears that humanity is not entirely without a chance of winning.

The strength of that formation was indeed beyond his expectations; even with his current combat power, he couldn't break it easily.

But...

He glanced at the Spirit Seeds lying Jingjing in his backpack. Once he fully absorbed the power of these Spirit Seeds, his strength would surely reach a new level.

By then, I doubt I'll be in such a sorry state as I am today.

There's no time to lose; before the pursuers catch up, it's best to return to Blue Star immediately.

The Cross-Realm Talisman was activated again, and intricate array patterns emerged from beneath his feet, gradually enveloping his entire body in light.

His figure gradually faded within the runes, eventually disappearing completely.

By the time the pursuers from both clans arrived at this place, Zhang Mingzhen had already vanished without a trace.

The outcome of this battle for the Spirit Seed has also stirred up enormous waves within both races, and a turmoil sweeping across the entire Cangwu Realm is quietly approaching...

After experiencing that familiar feeling of being pulled away again, Zhang Mingzhen opened his eyes and found himself back on Earth.

The seven-day journey to another world has finally come to an end.

The familiar control panel and world chat appeared before his eyes; he had indeed returned.

At the same time, system notifications that had been missed earlier began to appear one after another.

System notification: "Congratulations, player's Life Level has been successfully increased!"

"All attributes have undergone a third upgrade, and the skill mastery cap has been increased!"

World Announcement: "Congratulations to the player for Chongxing through the maximum lifespan and ascending to a new life form!"

All attributes have achieved their third enhancement!

This is to announce that we are celebrating this momentous occasion!

Because he couldn't gain experience while in the other world, his level remained at level 92.

A quick glance at the leaderboard revealed that everyone else had climbed quite a bit in rank.

Before long, other players will gradually break through to level 90.

Even without the notification of gaining experience points, the leap in life level still brought about a further enhancement of his attributes, which was far more valuable than simply increasing his level.

Ranking List:

First place: Chongxing (Level 92)

Second Place: Qin Xiao Youhui (Level 89)

"Third: Dragon Diagram Frenzy (Level 89)"

Fourth: Raphael (Level 88)

"Fifth: Hero War Sky (Level 88)"

"Sixth: Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven (Level 88)"

"Seventh: Pengpeng's Hair (Level 88)"

"Eighth: Shiyade (Level 87)"

"Ninth: Guandong Quake (Level 87)"

"Tenth: Wushuang Zhiyu (Level 87)"

These people must have consumed a lot of Honor Jade to push their levels to such a high level in just a few days. During this time, they must have been working so hard that they forgot to eat and sleep.

He stared at the message that appeared in the system. He was familiar with the attribute enhancement, but the "skill comprehension limit" prompt that followed made him feel puzzled.

Generally speaking, players of the same profession possess the same skills. Skill levels are limited by skill points, and level ten is the insurmountable peak for all skills.

As he is currently in, all his skills have been maxed out to level 10, and even though he still has a lot of skill points left, he has no room to use them.

It seems that this predicament is about to turn around?

At the same time, Blue Star all over the world received a system announcement.

The news of his Chongxing return and breakthrough in his Life Level swept the world like a storm.

Nowadays, players are already aware of the existence of life levels through various means, and they also understand that even if players of similar levels have similar life levels, their essence is vastly different.

Actually, everyone understands; isn't this just one turn, two turns, three turns, and four turns?

Each time you rotate, your attribute points will increase with each level increase.

Therefore, there is a huge difference between each rotation.

While most people are still struggling to transform into Level One Lifeform, that person has already stepped into a completely new realm of life?

He really did cheat.

Everyone cursed inwardly, but on the surface they had to smile and flatter him.

Humanity once considered itself a superior being, but now it realizes just how insignificant it truly is.

Welcome back, Master!

"I've really missed you during the time you were away."

"The Chongxing the great god Chongxing returned, he triggered a world announcement. The significance of this announcement is simply astonishing... It seems that the new realm of life is real?"

"Anything capable of triggering a global notification is naturally extraordinary."

"Someone actually spread rumors that the expert had met with misfortune? Show yourself and confess your crimes!"

"Damn, there are so many sycophants. They run away when we're in trouble, and come back when the crisis is over. What's the point of keeping these Cheater?"

"Yes, since we've reached that Life Level, we're probably all doomed. This Cheater must be safe and sound... of course it won't care about our lives."

"Alright, enough with the sour grapes. Hey boss, could you share your promotion tips?"

"I've heard that various official organizations are already researching plans to elevate the life level of all citizens; I pray they succeed soon."

Zhang Mingzhen glanced briefly at the messages in the world chat, surprised that the official organization had already found a way to overcome the players 'Life Level dilemma.

Before he could ponder it further, the message from the Red Garment arrived:

"Congratulations on your safe return, and congratulations on successfully entering a new stage of your life!"

On behalf of all humanity, I extend my greetings to you!

"Furthermore, our leaders cordially invite you to join us for a meeting to share information regarding players in another world. Are you currently available?"

Compared to the shock of others, the authorities were clearly more concerned about information from the other world.

The Red Garment then sent a specific address.

As soon as Zhang Mingzhen stepped into the designated area, he immediately felt the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone was filled with curiosity, trying to see how this new life Cheater, which had entered a completely new realm, differed from the past.

It appears that there has been no change in appearance.

While the attributes on the equipment ranking list can be hidden, the nearly doubled numbers on the combat power ranking list cannot be faked.

"Chongxing (Priest) Level 92"

"Qi and blood value..."

"Physical constitution, strength, agility, intelligence, mental strength..."

Critical Hit Rate: 3300, Combo Rate: 3300

"Physical Defense"

"Magic Defense"

These numbers completely exceed the limits of Ordinary Players.

"Welcome, Mr. Chongxing," Lu Zheng greeted him.

"We have some new research findings to share with you today."

"Our current focus is on breakthroughs in the level of life, with the primary goal of elevating the overall Life Level to the first level."

"If we cannot achieve this leap, we will be powerless to fight back when facing other races in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhen couldn't help but become somewhat interested.

He had previously heard players discussing in the world chat that the official team had some initial ideas on raising the level of human life, but now it seems that it was just a rumor and there must be a reason for it.

This is not the advancement of a single individual or a single team, but a leap forward for all of humanity.

Is this really feasible?

"Do you have a way to push humanity to a new Life Level?" Zhang Mingzhen asked directly.

If that's the case, he'll have to reassess these people's abilities.

Racial advancement is by no means easy; even those superior races may not be able to achieve it.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "In the end, I have to thank you for the clues you provided earlier."

"Me?" Zhang Mingzhen couldn't recall ever doing such a good deed.

"Have you forgotten the special abilities of the Tide Clan that you once told us about?"

"It was through our collaboration with them that we were able to discover ways to help all players break through."

"Of course, this method only applies to promotions from level zero to level one."

"The levels beyond that are beyond our control."

This is also a consensus reached after consultation among various forces on Earth.

Through a deal reached with the Azurewave Clan, the tribe provided Spirit Core, and in return, humans provided them with conveniences for survival and other forms of support.

On the basis of mutual benefit, the supply of Spirit Core is guaranteed.

However, for hundreds of millions of players worldwide, these resources are still a drop in the ocean.

To this end, the research institute has already launched a project dedicated to breaking down and refining the effective ingredients of Spirit Core into a medicine to meet the needs of players worldwide.

At the same time, similar ingredients are extracted from other substances to manufacture Medicine Making.

The project has now achieved some initial success, which is why we dared to leak information to the players.

So they're from the Azurewave Clan... I never expected them to be willing to cooperate with humans.

Zhang Mingzhen had almost forgotten their existence—after all, in his eyes, things that had lost their usefulness were not worth his time.

However, this is for the best, as both sides get what they need, and he can be said to have indirectly fulfilled his initial promise: to take care of the Azurewave Clan's future survival.

Zhang Mingzhen didn't care about his negligence in this matter; his role in it was almost negligible.

Achieving the goal is enough.

Human beings do indeed urgently need to improve their life level; life forms that have not reached Level 1 are destined to become cannon fodder in the struggle between all races.

His goal was to reach the highest rank and achieve Sainthood, thereby transcending racial constraints and avoiding the consequences of defeat.

But if possible, he still hopes that humanity can find a way to survive.

After all, he had no interest in adapting to the rules of the new world or players of other races.

So, you've succeeded?

A representative from the research institute stood up and replied, "It has been successfully verified on some players; now, only mass production is needed."

"Due to the high consumption of rare materials in the refining process, widespread adoption will take time."
