" The Qualification Battle is about to begin, and there's still no news of Junbao. Although the Chaos City Lord said Junbao might still be alive, even the Purgatory Abyss is now sealed off, so I have no chance to rescue Junbao!"
Inside the Primordial Secret Realm, Luo Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and his entire being exuded a murderous aura. Even Madam Fusi, the World Lord managed the Taichu Zone, was frightened by Luo Feng's gaze upon seeing Luo Feng; it was truly terrifying.
"It's not enough! My current strength is far from sufficient to save Junbao! Although I've already passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, Junbao's strength surpassed mine when he left Chaos City. At this rate, how long will it take me to have the strength to save him?"
I need more resources, more experience! I must venture into the Primal Secret Region!
" Luo Feng, are you crazy? At this rate, you'll collapse before we even get Junbao out!"
Prince of Manka Star Wuka of Manka Star, clad in Silver Battle Armor, arrived and was startled by Luo Feng's appearance. The murderous aura emanating from Luo Feng was now even more terrifying than that of World Lord who had spent years on the battlefield.
"It's you, Wuka!"
Luo Feng turned to look at Wuka, forcing a smile.
Prince of Manka Star remains the same. Although they have known each other for a hundred years, Wuka is still not an adult. Once he comes of age, he will automatically become Domain Lord Level. This is the pinnacle of human bloodline!
"I heard you've completed several missions in a row, finishing all the Dangerous Level secret realms in the Primordial Secret Realm, some of which are extremely dangerous. Are you out of your mind?"
"Fate? If it weren't for Junbao, I might have already lost my life back on Earth. Now he's in danger, and I'm powerless to help. What can I do besides force myself to become stronger?"
Luo Feng looked up at Wuka and said with a tone full of self-reproach.
The group of friends who were on good terms with Zhang Junbao, including Rong Jun, Wuka, and Bolan, all knew that Zhang Junbao had gone to the Purgatory Abyss. When news spread that the Purgatory Abyss had been sealed off, they naturally knew that something had happened to Zhang Junbao.
Over the years, Zhang Junbao has provided them with a lot of guidance. Although they are all geniuses in the same year, Zhang Junbao's actions are enough to make him a teacher to them.
However, Zhang Junbao is currently trapped in the secret realm, his fate unknown, and even these geniuses are powerless to help him.
"We desperately want to rescue Junbao, who is trapped in the Purgatory Abyss, but even the Virtual Universe Company can't do anything about it. How can we possibly save him?"
You'll only put yourself in danger this way. Not every secret realm is safe. If you continue to venture into secret realms in your current state, you might end up trapped there, or even perish!
Wuka's words were harsh. They had known each other for a century, from their fierce rivalry in the Genius Battle to their current mutual respect. They had joined forces to try and beat Zhang Junbao, and had also been beaten by him together. They had long since become like brothers. Naturally, they didn't want to see any of them in danger.
"I..."
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment. He realized that after so many years in the Virtual Universe Company, he was no longer just connected with Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God, but also with people like Wuka, Rong Jun, and Bolan, who cared about him as well.
"I understand, Wuka, thank you for reminding me!"
Luo Feng took a deep breath, and his mental state immediately became calm and composed.
It wasn't that he couldn't understand; rather, he had always wanted to shoulder everything himself. Only after Zhang Junbao disappeared did Luo Feng realize that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, almost suffocating him.
"I'm alright now. I'll definitely make it into the Primal Secret Region in this Qualification Battle!"
Luo Feng stood tall and proud, unleashing a powerful aura. His killing intent was concealed, and instead, a fierce, metallic aura emanated from him, surprising Wuka.
Luo Feng's state of mind has always remained at the first level, and he has gone further on this path than anyone else.
Heart Like a Mirror can see through illusions!
Heart Like a Blade, cutting through all illusions!
Their convictions are extremely firm, and once they see through something, they act decisively and swiftly, bringing their extreme will to its fullest extent.
Zhang Junbao's accident nearly drove Luo Feng to madness, and Wuka's words made him realize his own problems.
"Haha, I believe you can do it! You and Junbao are from the same planet, both of you are crazy!"
Seeing that Luo Feng's will had returned to normal, Wuka was also happy for him. Although Luo Feng, who had been full of murderous intent before, was quite powerful, it would have been too dangerous for him to venture into the secret realm in such a state!
" Wuka, I need to go find my teacher, so I'll be going now."
" True Yan King? Go! We'll help find a way to save Junbao. If possible, I'll ask my father to intervene." Wuka said firmly.
When they were in Chaos City, Zhang Junbao helped him a lot. Before leaving Chaos City, he even asked Venerable Guiyi to descend and subdue them. Venerable Guiyi was the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord. Even Wuka's father, the emperor of the Manka Star People, the top race of humans, did not dare to guarantee that he could defeat Venerable Guiyi. This shows how powerful he was.
Even during regular gatherings, Zhang Junbao would occasionally answer their questions, which led to their rapid progress, even surprising Wuka's father.
Not only Wuka, but even Rong Jun and Bolan's teacher were surprised by the care their disciples received from Zhang Junbao. It could be said that Zhang Junbao helped them raise their strength by at least one level, the Heavenly Bridge, saving them hundreds of years of cultivation.
Although a lifespan of Universe Level is very long, for geniuses like them, a few hundred years can sometimes be enough to create a huge gap.
Looking at Luo Feng, Bolan, Rong Jun, and Wuka Ka now, it's clear that they are increasingly ahead of other geniuses in their cohort. Although they were originally exceptionally talented, their teacher, Universe Venerable level expert, could naturally assess the extent of Zhang Junbao's influence on them.
After bidding farewell to Wuka, Luo Feng transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew away into the distance.
Inside the training ground, True Yan King touched the golden down on his face, utterly astonished by Luo Feng's transformation.
"I originally thought you wouldn't get out of your predicament so quickly, and I was thinking of letting you rest for a while. I didn't expect you to overcome your inner demons so quickly," True Yan King said in surprise.
"I've also heard about Zhang Junbao's situation. Now that the Purgatory Abyss is sealed off, it won't help even if you go there now."
Your talent is exceptional, and your progress is accelerating, astonishing your teacher.
You've completed all the Dangerous Level missions in the Primordial Secret Realm, but... the Desperate Level, those are Desperate Level Mission!
"The mortality rate is as high as 90%. Everyone who dares to go in is full of confidence, but the mortality rate is still as high as 90%!"
Even a genius like Zhang Junbao has fallen into the Purgatory Abyss, and you still want to go?"
"You, a Universe Level cultivator who hasn't even participated in the first Qualification Battle, are going to challenge Desperate Level secret realm? There are many ways to improve your strength; you don't need to do this!" True Yan King said, looking at his beloved disciple.
"Teacher, I have made my decision, and I have had some fortuitous encounters during the previous mission, so I am full of confidence!" Luo Feng said firmly.
"Even the Desperate Level Mission are divided into different levels. The Purgatory Abyss that Junbao chose is the number one and the most terrifying of the Desperate Level missions."
This time, I chose Demon Mountain. Although it's also Desperate Level, its danger level is still not as high as that of the Purgatory Abyss.
Although Luo Feng appeared very humble in front of the True Yan King, his determination was unshakable.
"This disciple feels that I am not under enough pressure, and I can improve even faster. Demon Mountain is the most suitable place for me. If I can't even get through Demon Mountain, I am not qualified to talk about going to the Purgatory Abyss to save Junbao!"
"Sigh... I also know something about the Purgatory Abyss. This time, even the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company didn't expect the anomaly. The Purgatory Abyss can no longer be considered Desperate Level Mission. It's simply not suitable for you to enter."
Well, your decision may have been rash, but I know your resolve is unwavering. To become a strong person, you need to constantly reflect on yourself, but you must never waver in your confidence.
If you believe you are right, you must stick to it like a faith!
"I know Zhang Junbao has had a profound influence on you, and even if I tried to stop you, it wouldn't make a difference. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further!"
"Remember, come back alive to see me!" True Yan King looked at his disciple, whose eyes were filled with determination. In billions of years, even he had rarely seen someone with such unwavering faith.
"Thank you so much, teacher!" Luo Feng bowed in gratitude.
He had come prepared to go to the Desperate Level even if it meant defying the True Yan King, so receiving the True Yan King's support was the best thing that could happen to him!
Luo Feng returned to his manor and thoroughly investigated all the information about Demon Mountain. Even Zhang Junbao had fallen into a Desperate Level realm, so he dared not be careless. Even if Demon Mountain was not as dangerous as Purgatory Abyss, it was still a Desperate Level realm, and its level of danger was self-evident.
He also informed Hong and Thunder God about his plans to travel to the Desperate Level Secret Realm.
Within Chaos City, Hong and the Thunder God have been cultivating for approximately 27 years, while nearly 90 years have passed in the Original Universe.
The two made rapid progress during this period, but after hearing that Zhang Junbao had fallen into the extremely dangerous Purgatory Abyss, they knew that they had no time to waste.
" Junbao has fallen into the Purgatory Abyss, where even Immortal would surely die if they went in. Even the Universe Venerable dare not rashly go in to save him, while I can only hide in this Chaos City and do nothing. What am I anyway!" Hong roared, but quickly calmed down.
"Anger is useless. We have known the cruelty of the universe since the moment we stepped into it. It's just that Junbao sheltered us from the wind and rain along the way, which made us have the illusion that the universe is nothing."
Now Junbao is in trouble, and we are completely helpless. Are we destined to live under his protection all these years? We came from this earth together, but now, what can we possibly do for him?
" Brother Hong, I've made up my mind. We won't waste a single moment of the remaining time. Junbao is still going through some kind of life-or-death situation. The only thing we can do is become stronger as quickly as possible!"
"That's right, anger and complaints are useless. The universe is inherently dangerous, and it is Junbao has always sheltered us from the wind and rain, which is why we are where we are today."
Now that he's in trouble, even if the chances are slim, we must fight to the death and venture into the Purgatory Abyss to find out what's going on.
Our current strength is too weak; we have absolutely no chance. Only by cultivating in seclusion and becoming stronger can we possibly provide Junbao with real support!
"I discovered the former residence of the ' Mysterious Firmament Chaos Stele ' in an abandoned dwelling. A legacy remains there, but the trials there are far too rigorous. I couldn't pass them before, but now, I absolutely will not leave until I pass the test!"
After saying that, Lei Li left the Virtual Universe Network to challenge the legacy left behind by his Mysterious Firmament School. In Chaos City, each school has its own unique lineage. Just like the residence left behind by the Universe School that Zhang Junbao found earlier, Thunder God also found the residence left behind by his Mysterious Firmament School, which contained a large amount of cultivation experience from the school's predecessors.
It's not just Universe Level experts among them; some powerful figures from different schools, after obtaining permanent residency in Chaos City, also return to their respective school's ancestral residences to leave behind their insights and legacy.
To obtain permanent residency in Chaos City, one must be at least King Level powerhouse.
Seeing Thunder God leave, Hong also left, but he did not return to reality. Instead, he went to a villa on Ganwu Island in the Virtual Universe. This was another location where Hong connected to the Virtual Universe Network, unknown to others.
"Brother Hong, it's been so long since you've come to see me." In the courtyard, a pretty woman with short, ear-length hair opened her eyes and said with a smile.
" Qingqing, I'm sorry, I've been in seclusion cultivating all this time." Hong's voice was slightly tired, but he still smiled when he saw the woman.
"I don't blame you. It wasn't wrong for you to work hard in your cultivation to save your brother." The beautiful woman smiled slightly at him, then quietly embraced Hong without saying a word.
This woman was Ji Qing, whom Hong met while training with his teacher Luo in the Ganwu Universe Country. After meeting, the two were attracted to each other and quickly developed feelings for one another.
Later, Hong went to Chaos City, and the two continued to meet frequently in the Virtual Universe Network.
However, Ji Qing's background was quite King Rank. Her teacher was the powerful Illusionary Phantom Spirit King Phantom Spirit King, who required his disciples to never fall in love, or they would be expelled from the sect. Therefore, the two could only meet secretly in private.
"I'm sorry you've suffered. Now that Junbao is trapped, even Luo Feng has decided to go to Desperate Level secret realm to train in order to save him. I can't continue like this. So for a long time to come, I will devote myself to cultivation and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you," Hong said apologetically.
"I understand. Some things must be done. You two came from Earth together and created a glory that the Ganwu Universe Country has never seen in billions of years. Now that Zhang Junbao is trapped, you are desperately cultivating to try to save him. How could I not support you?" Ji Qing said gently.
"Thank you for your understanding. I will definitely work hard to get your teacher, the Phantom Spirit King, to recognize our abilities!"
After giving a few instructions, Hong hurriedly left. Whether for Zhang Junbao or for Ji Qing, he had to become stronger.
" Brother Hong, keep going! I believe in you!" After Hong left, Ji Qing's eyes showed a resolute look, as if he had made an important decision.
Meanwhile, Zhang Junbao was digesting the changes brought about by the Light Law Core within the Luanshen Mystic Realm. He was now absorbing the Cosmic Force at an extremely fast speed, and even if his physical strength was exhausted, it could be replenished very quickly.
Each cultivator has a limited Cosmic Force. Even Immortal Expert do not possess inexhaustible Immortal Divine Power. This is why races with enormous physiques are able to gain an advantage.
If two people are newly entering the Immortal Realm, but one's divine body is only a few meters tall while the other's is hundreds or even thousands of kilometers long, then the amount of Immortal Divine Power they can contain is simply not on the same level.
The Golden Horned Beast, a pinnacle race among Starry Sky Behemoth, is even more terrifying. Even among those who have just entered the Immortal, it can still sweep aside its peers. Its enormous divine body is its innate advantage.
However, Zhang Junbao now seems to have a water pipe connected to the Origin Land of the Universe inside his body. Once the power of the Law of Light in his body is exhausted, it will be quickly replenished. In this way, even if Zhang Junbao fights against those Special Lifeform with huge divine bodies, he will not be afraid at all.
Even in a contest of speed that consumes energy, his human body can still hold out, because behind him Origin Land of the Universe!
This is the truly terrifying aspect of the Law Core.
