Inside a temple on Demon Sound Mountain, Luo Feng, clad in Silver Battle Armor, stood like a statue on the steps, eyes closed and motionless. Yet, his soul was undergoing subtle transformations, countless secret runes merging into it, and Luo Feng's soul was growing stronger little by little.
Suddenly, Luo Feng, who had been as still as a statue, opened his eyes, a glint of brilliance in them. "Today marks the start of the Qualification Battle. This time, I will absolutely break into the Primal Secret Region!"
According to Bolan's information, Junbao's absence in the first Qualification Battle match has led many to suspect that he has fallen from grace. However, Virtual Universe Company has not confirmed the news of Junbao's fall, only stating that he is currently unable to connect to the Virtual Universe Network and has been directly disqualified.
However, such a claim could not satisfy the covetous forces. When Junbao rose to power, many chose to back down and temporarily avoid confrontation. Now that Junbao is suspected of falling, it's estimated that it won't be long before all those monsters and demons emerge.
Luo Feng looked at the temple before him, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, " Molo, I want to thank you. If you hadn't kicked me into this abyss, I wouldn't have discovered the existence of this palace, let alone unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of the Demon Sound Divine General!"
The universe is mysterious, and almost every secret realm possessed by the Virtual Universe Company holds hidden opportunities. However, discovering these opportunities is a matter of chance, not something that can be sought after. Every opportunity is accompanied by endless dangers, and to seize one's chance, one must first consider whether one can survive.
Luo Feng already knew this.
Because of Zhang Junbao's influence, Luo Feng also paid attention to many cosmic secrets and legends. The Human Race alone has 1008 Universe Country Universe Country, each of which is vast and boundless. The Universe Country Lord are all great beings who are all-powerful and can roam freely in the universe.
There are even great figures who created ' Virtual Universe '; any place in the universe may hold astonishing mysteries.
The history of Demon Mountain is extremely long, comparable to some ancient Universe Country, so he was very excited when he learned about the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance.
The Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance is a strange opportunity that allows him to rapidly increase his strength and soar to new heights.
" The Inheritance Token of the Demon Sound Divine General has continuously strengthened my soul power, making it even more powerful than the Inheritance Secret Technique by the Golden Horned Beast."
Although we don't know how long it will take to pass on this knowledge, such an opportunity is hard to come by and we absolutely cannot miss it!
During this period, Luo Feng had been cultivating frantically day and night. He was like a starving beggar who suddenly saw a plate of delicacies in front of him and ate it like a madman.
His obsessive cultivation only intensified Luo Feng's consciousness, causing it to break through the 100-amplitude limit and continue to rise.
"This is outrageous! A secret technique that can enhance the intensity of consciousness amplitude—if it were placed in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury to exchange for points, it would fetch an astronomical price that would shock me! Even the Virtual Universe Company might not possess such an incredible secret technique!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we have to give it our all, no matter what!"
Luo Feng's eyes were filled with madness. He knew that only by completely squeezing out the enhancement brought by the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance would he have a chance to go to the Purgatory Abyss in the future and rescue Zhang Junbao.
This is the only opportunity he has right now, and he absolutely cannot let it slip by!
"Hong and Thunder God have been cultivating in Chaos City for a long time. They are just members of the Apocalypse Secret Region and cannot suppress those covetous forces. Even I, Primordial Secret Realm Member, may not be able to make these forces feel fear."
Now that news has spread that Junbao has seemingly perished, Earth has lost his protection and is likely to face a catastrophe. Only by venturing into the Primal Secret Region and once again deterring them can Earth be saved from this calamity.
The universe is cruel. Back then, those cosmic forces didn't extend their reach into the Milky Way Galaxy because they were wary of Zhang Junbao's identity as a member of the Virtual Universe Network's Primal Secret Region Member. But now that Zhang Junbao Zhang Junbao suspected of having perished, there will definitely be many who want to test him, or even try to obtain the treasures he left behind.
Their idea was simple: Zhang Junbao's ability to suppress all other geniuses of his Human Race in the entire universe suggested that his home planet Earth might hold some unknown secrets.
Even if he didn't, Zhang Junbao would likely have stored some of the treasures he acquired on Earth. After he left Viska Star, the hundreds or thousands of ships transporting the treasures to the Primal Secret Region Manor couldn't be kept secret from everyone.
The items that would prompt Virtual Universe Company to dispatch so many spaceships to transport must be priceless treasures.
Although they couldn't go to Zhang Junbao's manor in the Primal Secret Region to explore, they could still investigate Zhang Junbao's hometown.
What if there's some incredible treasure inside?
As long as there is enough profit, the universe will never lack desperate people!
There are five people in the Universe Level Primal Secret Region: three elders and two newcomers.
The two newcomers were naturally " Zhang Junbao " and " Bolan " who were selected from the Genius Battle. After being enlightened by Zhang Junbao, Bolan clearly realized the path he should take, abandoned his original arrogant personality, listened to his teacher's advice, and focused on the Space Law, making rapid progress in his strength.
Moreover, Zhang Junbao explained the mysteries of the Time Law to him, which helped Bolan to make up for many of his shortcomings in Time Law.
After Luo Feng successfully passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, Bolan also passed Heavenly Bridge eighth level, a feat that rivaled that of the strongest among the three elders in the Primal Secret Region.
Among the three elders in the Primal Secret Region — Fito, Sima Yan, and Molo — Fito was the only one to have passed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, while Sima Yan and Molo were both on the seventh level.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this Qualification Battle, only Fito will have a chance to remain in the Primal Secret Region, while Sima Yan and Molo will likely be eliminated.
After all, this year's newcomers are truly terrifying. Zhang Junbao goes without saying; even though he hasn't improved at all since leaving Chaos City, he's still more than capable of crushing Fito, the strongest of the three elders.
The rise of Luo Feng and Bolan also made the three old men tremble with fear.
The younger generation will inevitably surpass the older generation, and these old folks will likely be mercilessly swept away by the rising tide. Aside from Fito having a chance to compete with Bolan for a spot, the other two have virtually no hope.
But now, Zhang Junbao didn't even appear in the Qualification Battle, losing without a fight, which gave these three old men a glimmer of hope.
At least they weren't completely wiped out and suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of newcomers.
"Hahaha, the rumors are true! Zhang Junbao is trapped in the Purgatory Abyss, and his chances of survival are slim. He didn't even participate in the Qualification Battle; he must have encountered an extremely serious crisis, and may have already perished!"
"I'm so glad," said Fito, one of the three old men.
Zhang Junbao's absence from the Qualification Battle is arguably the biggest beneficiary of this situation.
Beside the ring, Bolan stared silently at the empty arena, his face still bearing an expression of disbelief.
" Junbao, has something really happened to you?"
You showed me the path I should take, and you shattered my pride, allowing me to rediscover my martial spirit. But why, after all these years of striving to catch up with you, and finally having a chance to show you my progress, have you vanished?
I don't believe that a mere Desperate Level secret realm can stop you!
Bolan has not relaxed over the years either. He also experienced a Desperate Level secret realm and successfully returned alive, greatly increasing his strength.
But when he returned to the Virtual Universe Company, he was met with rumors that Zhang Junbao had seemingly perished, which devastated him.
It was as if the target he had been chasing had suddenly vanished, and a look of confusion and astonishment appeared in Bolan's eyes.
"Although we have never gone on a cosmic adventure together, we have fought together! I, Rong Jun, Wuka, Luo Feng, and you once made a promise that if any one of us falls, the others must help him take care of his family."
Now that you're trapped in this secret realm, we'll help you protect your homeland!
Bolan was not alone; behind him stood two Universe Country Lord: one was his teacher, and the other was the ruler of the Noah Universe Country from which he came. If it weren't for Zhang Junbao's appearance, he might be the most dazzling genius among the Human Race.
The Qualification Battle is not over yet. According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, the bottom three from the Primal Secret Region and the top three from the Primordial Secret Realm, a total of six people, are competing for the only spot in the Primal Secret Region Realm.
Both Bolan and Fito are at the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, ranking first and second among the five people in the Primal Secret Region, and do not need to participate in the competition.
Sima Yan and Molo suffered consecutive defeats, while Zhang Junbao, who did not appear, became the bottom three in the Primal Secret Region.
Luo Feng had just defeated his last opponent and was preparing to leave the Virtual Universe Network when Rong Jun, Wuka, and Bolan appeared beside him.
" Luo Feng, Junbao didn't even appear in the Qualification Battle, what happened?" Rong Jun asked anxiously.
Luo Feng glanced at them and said, "You should know the rumors from before, right? Junbao is currently trapped in a secret realm within the Purgatory Abyss, his fate unknown, and even the Virtual Universe Network is down."
But I asked the Chaos City Lord Chaos City Lord, and even he couldn't confirm whether Junbao had perished, which proves that there is still a possibility that he is alive.
The only thing I can do now is to increase my strength as quickly as possible and then head to the Purgatory Abyss to save him!
Seeing the determination in Luo Feng's eyes, they understood how deep the bond was between Luo Feng and Zhang Junbao. Luo Feng had once told them that he and Zhang Junbao were classmates from the same planet, and that they had fought their way up, defeating countless powerful beings from across the universe, before finally arriving at the Virtual Universe Company.
Zhang Junbao provided Luo Feng with tremendous assistance throughout their journey, a fact that Bolan and his companions deeply appreciated. They too had received guidance from Zhang Junbao, and even had the opportunity to request Venerable Guiyi Top-tier Universe Overlord like Venerable Guiyi. Bolan and his companions remembered this kindness with deep gratitude, which is why they were so concerned about Zhang Junbao's situation.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!"
"Since that's the case, we won't say anything more. When you prepare to go to the Purgatory Abyss, we will go with you. We can't let you go to save him alone, can we? We have also received a lot of kindness from him!" Wuka stretched out his hand and punched Luo Feng in the chest, saying firmly.
Rong Jun and Bolan nodded in agreement with Wuka's statement.
"You..."
Luo Feng looked at the three of them in surprise. Bolan and the others knew how dangerous the Purgatory Abyss was, but under these circumstances, they were still prepared to venture into the Purgatory Abyss with Luo Feng to find Zhang Junbao, all for a possibility that even the Chaos City Lord could not be certain about.
"Don't even think about refusing. You're not the only one who's been guided by him. The three of us owe a lot to Junbao for where we are today."
We can't just stand by and watch him fall into the secret realm while we do nothing!
"But with our current strength, it's probably no use. At the very least, we should wait until we're stronger than when Junbao entered the Purgatory Abyss before we can go to save him. Going now would be no different from sending ourselves to our deaths," Wuka said.
As a prince of the Manka Star People, Wuka possessed exceptional judgment and was well aware of the dangers of the Purgatory Abyss. However, as Manka Star People, representing the pinnacle of human blood in the Cosmic Humans, he had his own pride and would absolutely not allow Zhang Junbao to perish in the secret realm without explanation!
Rong Jun and Bolan were the same; both were extremely proud, but Zhang Junbao was someone they truly admired. If they couldn't fight for Zhang Junbao, they would probably still feel uneasy even if they became super strong in the future.
"Compared to that, I think what you need to worry about right now is how to prevent other forces from invading the Milky Way Galaxy."
"What?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.
"I received a message that ever since the rumors about Junbao's accident came out, a superpower has been investigating information in the Milky Way Galaxy."
"This force is definitely not small; it may very well involve powerhouses at the level of King-level Immortal!" Wuka said solemnly.
The information resources that Wuka possesses are completely incomparable to those of Luo Feng and his group. As the pinnacle bloodline of the Human Race in the universe, the Manka Star People hold an extremely high position among Human Race and naturally possess a vast power that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
" King-level Immortal?"
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that even if Zhang Junbao was gone, the forces that Earth could be involved with would at most be some Ordinary Immortal.
After all, both Luo Feng and Zhang Junbao had warned their families not to easily offend Immortal Expert.
The Milky Way Galaxy is located in a remote area of Ganwu Universe Country, belonging to the Black Dragon Mountain Galaxy. And the strongest being in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is nothing more than an Ordinary Immortal.
There's no way that it could involve King Rank Immortal Expert!
The King-level Immortal is on par with Luo Feng's teacher, True Yan King, second only to the great Universe Country Lord, making him a super strong person among humans.
"Why would Earth attract the attention of those who have been granted the title of King-level Immortal? Has Earth's secret been exposed?" This was the first thing Luo Feng could think of.
Aside from the secrets of Earth itself, nothing else should be enough to attract a powerhouse at the King Level.
If he is truly King Rank expert, then even if he enters the Primal Secret Region, it probably won't be of much use.
The status of King Rank expert is absolutely incomparable to that of a genius from a Primal Secret Region realm.
Although geniuses in the Primal Secret Region Realm hold a high status, they are still just geniuses. How many geniuses can become Immortal, let alone super powerhouses like King Level Immortal?
They are the true asset that enables the Human Race in the universe to compete with other races in the universe.
"Even if Junbao isn't here, it shouldn't have attracted King Rank expert!" Luo Feng said.
"I don't know the specifics either, but this powerful figure's influence is probably considerable. Even our forces on Manka Star can only find out a little bit of information."
Don't worry, I'll let you know immediately if there's any news.
Although Junbao is not here, his hometown is not a place where just anyone can wander in!
Wuka's eyes flashed with a fierce light. At this moment, he was the proud prince of Manka Star People, the heir to a top-tier power among the Human Race in the universe!
"Although we don't have access to Wuka, we will keep an eye on Earth. If necessary, we will ask our teacher for help!" Rong Jun and Bolan said firmly.
"Earth, I will never let my home and Junbao's home fall into the hands of others!"
