Competition

If a World Lord in the Primordial Secret Realm can clear the sixteenth level, it means that in the World Lord-level secret realm qualification battle ten thousand years later, those few most outstanding World Lords in the Primordial Secret Realm can basically be confirmed to be able to break into the Primal Secret Realm.

Entering the Primal Secret Realm does not mean one can rest easy; competition is everywhere, and it is eternal.

"Born in a Universe Secret Region, entering the Outer Battlefield as a Domain Lord, fighting as a World Lord for over one hundred thousand years, and clearing the thirteenth level on the first attempt at the Heavenly Bridge to enter the core Heavenly Region—such a genius, as long as he does not commit treason against the race, some minor things can be overlooked." White Phoenix Palace Master spoke, saying some irrelevant things before continuing, "I quite like his character and his way of doing things. As long as there are no issues with his talent and comprehension, what does it matter if I take on one more disciple?"

"Although I have only been in contact with him for a few short years, I feel that he is excellent in every aspect. It seems I am about to have a new junior martial brother." Heavenly Feather King spoke, and his face, which rarely showed expression, revealed a few smiles.

"Then you can tell him that if he can clear the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge during these three thousand years in Chaos City, I will accept him as a named disciple." White Phoenix Palace Master said, "After he leaves Chaos City, have him go to the Outer Battlefield again. If he can hunt down a Marquis Rank as a World Lord, I will accept him as a personal disciple."

"Understood, Teacher."

Time passed, and the many scenes within Chaos City remained nearly stagnant. After that batch of genius battle members had cultivated in Chaos City for more than thirty years, they were taken away by a Venerable, even though only fewer than nine hundred people remained at that time.

The one hundred World Lords from the Outer Battlefield, including Ye Muxuan, obtained excellent cultivation conditions and each gained quite a lot. A few World Lord Generals who were stuck at the peak of the World Lord stage were even able to use this to break their shackles and breakthrough to become Immortals!

However, because they were in this Initial Universe, even though they had broken their shackles, their consciousness could not connect to the origin place of the Primal Universe and could not receive divine power transformation, so they were currently only at a "quasi-Immortal" stage!

Once they left the Initial Universe and their consciousness connected to the origin place, a sea of divine power would immediately pour in, transforming the World Force of the World Lord into Immortal divine power.

In fact, in terms of the Heavenly Bridge levels alone, their comprehension of the lower laws had only reached the tenth level, but since they had this opportunity, they naturally had to seize it. After all, if they remained at the World Lord stage, they would only be peripheral members of the five major powers and might not even have the chance to enter the core layer. Now, they had become official members of the End Times Secret Realm as Immortal Deities, just like Li Zheng, though of course, it was only the End Times Secret Realm.

When it comes down to it, even for a World Lord in the Primal Secret Realm, becoming an Immortal is only a matter of probability and cannot be guaranteed. For example, of the one thousand geniuses absorbed from each genius battle and powerhouse battle, only about ten or so eventually become Immortals. If the average level of a certain batch of genius battle and powerhouse battle members is poor, there might not even be ten, and the achievements of these ten or so might not even catch up to them in the end.

In past genius battles and powerhouse battles, being able to cultivate one Marquis Rank is a profit, and if one King Rank is cultivated, it is an absolute windfall. In the vast, hundreds of millions of epochs of the human race's history, there are only about one hundred thousand who can become King Ranks today.

Time is not precious. As the years passed quietly, one hundred years after that group of genius battle members left Chaos City—which was the one hundred and thirty-second year since Ye Muxuan arrived in the Initial Universe—he cleared the fourteenth level! Another hundred years later, Zhendan successfully cleared the thirteenth level. Two hundred years later, Kong Yan followed closely and cleared the thirteenth level, and another hundred years later, Li Zheng cleared the twelfth level.

Of the group of World Lords who obtained quotas at the auction, a total of one thousand and eight World Lords, forty-seven had fallen by the time the thousand-year period expired. Among the remaining World Lords, three broke through from World Lord to become "quasi" Immortals.

In the same thousand-year period, the one hundred World Lords from the Outer Battlefield clearly showed more potential. Not only did none of them die, but seventeen of them broke through the World Lord shackles to become "quasi" Immortals! The remaining eighty-three World Lords also had their own breakthroughs. By the time the thousand-year mark arrived, Ye Muxuan had cleared the fifteenth level, Zhendan and Kong Yan were at the thirteenth level, Li Zheng was at the twelfth level, and Qing Lun, Bone Hand, Blood Sword, Wei Yi, and others had all cleared the tenth level.

At the Immortal level, among the Immortals from the Universe Kingdoms who obtained quotas through the auction, two out of three hundred and twenty-four Military Lord Immortals cleared the fifteenth level, with their law comprehension stepping into the Marquis Rank. Among the forty-nine Marquis Ranks, one advanced from a high-level Marquis to a peak Marquis. Among the twenty Immortals from the Outer Battlefield, three out of ten Military Lord Immortals cleared the fifteenth level, with their law comprehension stepping into the Marquis Rank. Two low-level Marquis Ranks advanced to high-level Marquis Ranks, and that high-level Marquis Rank cleared directly from the sixteenth level to the eighteenth level, successfully becoming a King Rank.

Although it was only a low-level King Rank, it was still a King Rank.

This was the first powerhouse among this batch of over a thousand people to become a King Rank. Although everyone knew that with his potential, reaching a low-level King Rank was likely his limit, this already placed him above the vast majority of people. At the King Rank celebration, these World Lords and Immortals from the Outer Battlefield gathered together. Although the gifts they brought were not shabby, ranging in value from tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, to hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan, from various materials to various spaceships, or simply giving cash gifts, in the end, this King Rank still bled heavily, and the group of powerhouses all drank until they were dead drunk!

After returning from the celebration, the group of powerhouses cultivated even harder. After all, with Ye Muxuan clearing the fifteenth level as a World Lord in just a thousand years, and a high-level Marquis Immortal successfully becoming a King Rank, the group was full of drive and confidence.

However, even so, there were still bottlenecks in law comprehension. Before the three-thousand-year time limit arrived, only a very small number of World Lords could reach the next level. Most World Lords were just spinning their wheels; at best, they were a bit more profound, but they still could not reach the level required for the next stage.

In the eighteen-hundredth year of entering Chaos City, Li Zheng made the first breakthrough, entering the thirteenth level, tying with Zhendan and Kong Yan for the first time. In the twenty-one-hundredth year, Zhendan entered the fourteenth level, and two hundred years later, Kong Yan entered the fourteenth level, once again widening the gap with Li Zheng.

What surprised all the powerhouses from the Outer Battlefield was that a World Lord General from the Seventh Battlefield, nicknamed "War Bone," made successive breakthroughs during the three thousand years of meditation in Chaos City. From just having cleared the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge when he first arrived, he advanced like a hot knife through butter, breaking four levels in a row. As the three-thousand-year mark approached, he broke directly into the thirteenth level, actually tying with "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng!

This move surprised everyone!

PS: The Chaos City plot is almost over, emmm, I also feel it's dragging.
