The Sea of Clouds Boils, Late Hegemony Realm!

Ye Li was well aware that the Gate of Heaven and Earth he had constructed was extraordinary.

Otherwise, he wouldn't possess combat power far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level.

The [Realm-Breaking Golden Vine], which could allow that Divine Dao Sect to break through to the Hegemony Realm just three inches of it, took me four feet, plus tens of thousands of Malice Points, to barely pull him to the peak of the fourth level.

This clearly shows the difference between the two.

It's like if I were to encounter that Divine Dao Sect again now, and he came back from the dead, I could easily smash his head into a bloody mist with a casual slap.

Ye Li sighed softly. An extraordinary foundation requires extraordinary expenditure.

This level of energy expenditure is normal.

Once he leaves this place, news of the Pope's death will spread far and wide, which will likely further enhance his Infamy Level.

Thinking of this...

Ye Li subtly nodded his chin, then turned his gaze to the pale blue light screen.

Regardless, the most urgent task is to improve one's strength and break through to the Ninth-Tier Mountain Sea Realm as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even with his profound knowledge and experience, he wouldn't be confident in dealing with two martial artists at the Mountain Sea Realm at the same time.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts.

On the virtual panel, text kept appearing.

[With the blessing of the flawless Spirit Nurturing Method, the speed at which you reinforce the Gate of Heaven and Earth is unbelievable. Hundreds of years of painstaking work have been poured into this, and you already know exactly what needs to be done...]

[Gained a buff: Cultivation Speed Boost by 210%!]

Not bad...

Compared to the single S-Grade cultivation method back then, the cultivation method that has been deduced now provides a much greater boost, which makes Ye Li quite gratified.

[After consuming points of Malice Points, boundless Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth surges into your Spiritual Platform, transforming into foundational materials for the strengthening of the Gate of Heaven and Earth. Your spiritual strength increases daily, and with each thought, the landscape changes color...]

[You have advanced to the fifth level of the Hegemony Realm]

Suddenly, a violent storm arose in the tranquil Spiritual Platform.

The miraculous Gate of Heaven and Earth shone brightly, continuously rising higher and larger, as vast Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth surged into its body.

Ye Li could feel that his range of perception was becoming increasingly vast.

Buzz--

Within a radius of a hundred miles, even the sound of leaves trembling was exceptionally clear.

Hundreds of miles away, the two White Country slumped in the forest, gazing up at the distant mountain peaks, their faces filled with utter awe.

Ye Li could see all of this at this moment.

And, if he so chooses.

Now, they can mobilize the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth from hundreds of miles away to easily kill the two of them.

The Baiyi wouldn't even be stained with a single drop of blood.

"This is the difference between Land Immortal and Martial Dao Grandmaster..."

Ye Li was slightly amazed by his own strength. Martial Dao Grandmaster were already rare powerhouses among nations, yet they seemed so fragile in his eyes.

Without realizing it, I had become one of the most outstanding beings on this planet.

Given that experts at the Mountain Sea Realm rarely show themselves.

Ye Li is now the undisputed head of Huaxia.

Even if he does nothing in the future, simply sitting in some part of the country, he can still intimidate all the nations of the world, making them obedient and daring not to overstep their bounds in the slightest.

However, after learning that there were civilizations beyond Blue Star.

Ye Li still felt insecure.

The mere presence of those two Mountain Sea Realm experts from the Federation abroad was enough to make him somewhat anxious and uneasy, and it took him a long time to calm down.

It's hard to imagine how many arrogant and domineering interstellar forces still exist Star Sea, and how many self-righteous Martial Dao masters there are.

Those are all Malice Points done while Walker.

"Continue."

Ye Li looked at the panel in front of him again, and a massive amount of Malice Points kept pouring into it.

Judging from Chris Zhenlin's account, even in the high-level martial arts world beyond the Star Sea, demigods are by no means just stray dogs that can be found anywhere on the roadside.

Otherwise, those two former popes of the Federation would have returned long ago; why would they have to endure such disdain from the outside world?

As for the specifics of the situation...

Once that "Pillar of the Nation" emerges from seclusion, Ye Li plans to go and find out what happened, so as to determine his next steps.

The most urgent task now is to break through to the peak of the Hegemony Realm as soon as possible.

When he then relies on the [Imperial Command Over Mountains and Seas] to refine Huaxia's vast territory, he should be able to put up a fight against even martial artists at the Mountain Sea Realm.

"..."

Besides, if some ignorant Federation Emperor were to come and demand the staff, that would be even better.

Ye Li was well aware of his situation.

If he slows down even slightly, his cultivation speed will be greatly reduced.

Perhaps it's just his personality.

When he sees people or things he doesn't like, he always wants to make them fly high.

Based on this, without the slightest hesitation or wavering, Ye Li's path to becoming an invincible Martial Dao will be clear.

The hundreds of thousands of Malice Points were consumed rapidly, and the Spiritual Energy of the entire Secret Realm began to tremble!

Until the winds howled and the waves surged.

Boom--

At the summit of the towering mountain, an extremely terrifying demigod aura enveloped the entire forest. Huge clouds spiraled down towards the mountaintop, and the sound of spirit trees cracking and breaking was incessant.

Hundreds of miles away, two Martial Dao Grandmaster from the White Country were heavily pressed to the ground, their faces filled with utter shock!

This magnificent phenomenon...

Senior Ye Li from Huaxia has made another breakthrough!

Are you kidding me? Isn't he already Land Immortal?!

[After consuming some points of Malice Points, the Gate of Heaven and Earth within your Spiritual Platform has begun to take shape, giving rise to a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura. Your control over the omnipresent Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth has reached a new level!]

[End of skill point allocation]

[You have advanced to the seventh level of the Hegemony Realm!]

[Current Malice Points: Points]

The ever-surging light screen revealed the young man's new realm of Martial Dao.

Peak of the seventh level of the Hegemony Realm.

This is already the only top-tier combat force in Huaxia territory besides the [Pillar of the Nation].

Only...

"What a pity."

At the mountaintop, Ye Li frowned slightly, a sigh escaping his lips, "Still quite a bit short."

As expected.

I want to increase my skill points from the fourth level of the Hegemony Realm to the peak of the Hegemony Realm.

The enormous number of points required cannot be filled by a single pope.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Li quickly set his sights on the high-level Mutant Beast in the area.

Judging from the Malice Points released by the Earth Vein True Dragon at the Hegemony Realm, it can be seen that high-level Mutant Beast with the ability to transform, after acquiring most of the emotions and intelligence of humans, can release Malice Points comparable to those of martial artists of the same level.

Although it does not have the added benefits of things like a position of Dao Heart.

But it's still a very considerable income.

"..."

Thinking about this...

Ye Li immediately spent 10,000 points of Malice Points to reconstruct the shattered soul of the Earth Vein True Dragon.

Through its memories, Ye Li successfully learned that the ultimate treasure of this Secret Realm was not the [Realm-Breaking Golden Vine] on the mountain peak.

Instead, it was a [Heaven and Earth Hegemony Tree] that had already borne fruit.

It was guarded day and night by a Golden Plume Peacock King in the mid-stage of the Hegemony Realm, and the fruit that grew on it was incredibly miraculous and had extremely powerful medicinal properties.

Although it cannot allow beings in the Hegemony Realm to directly break through and advance, it can enable them to rise from the ashes in dire circumstances and make further breakthroughs.

Back when their realms were similar, the Earth Vein True Dragon successfully fought the Peacock King to a draw, but unexpectedly, the latter, relying on the miraculous effects of the [Heaven and Earth Hegemony Fruit], directly broke through to the mid-stage of the Hegemony Realm.

This saved them a thousand years of arduous cultivation, truly making the other dragons envious.

However, this Earth Vein True Dragon is too aloof. For thousands of years, it has spent most of its time cultivating in its own underground palace. Apart from its mortal enemy Peacock King, and many other Nascent Martial Infant Realm dragons who came to join it because of its strength, it does not know any other Mutant Beast.

That's a bit of a pity.

With his remaining Malice Points nearly depleted, the peak of the Hegemony Realm remained a distant dream. Before leaving the Secret Realm, Ye Li still planned to thoroughly conquer the core area of this place.

They also packed up and took away many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Just because he doesn't need it for those below the Hegemony Realm doesn't mean there's no need to collect it. He also has many old acquaintances at Fengyun University who will need Treasure Medicine to enhance their strength in the future.

Even the Treasure Medicine at the Jade Veins Realm level could be sent to Jiang Qingzhu, whom he met at Linhai First High School.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen this young lady from the Northern Extreme Jiang Family. She left Fengyun University in a hurry last time, but I can go and see her next time.

When I was at a low level, others helped me a lot. Now that I've improved, I should give them something in return.

The problem is that this earth vein dragon only has the location of the [Heaven and Earth Hegemony Tree] in its memory.

He knew nothing about the other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

While Ye Li could certainly use his powerful perception at the Hegemony Realm to probe the area inch by inch, that would inevitably waste a lot of time.

"... Got it."

Ye Li pondered for a moment, then his eyes brightened slightly.

If I remember correctly, the representative from the White Country possessed Martial Arts Talent for finding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Why not just use it as Tracking Compass?

At worst, we can split the profits 90/10...

Ye Li tapped his chin almost imperceptibly.

He immediately took a step forward.

Boom!--

A streak of azure-gold aurora suddenly pierced the sky and disappeared from the mountaintop.
