"Boom!"
A rich Spiritual Power permeated Lu Li's meridians.
The base of his Dantian trembled incessantly.
As the energy surged, the base became more rounded, and its edges began to glow.
When this foundation is completely perfect, that will be the time for Lu Li to Core Formation.
At this moment, Lu Li had only refined a small portion of the mysterious Dao Fruit.
His pure cultivation power surged forth wildly.
It flowed rapidly within his body.
The Second-Tier Five Elements Essence Condensation Scripture naturally activated.
In no time at all.
An even more ethereal and profound aura emanated from his body.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes.
Exhale the stale air.
" Foundation Establishment... Mid-stage!"
"This Dao Fruit is truly wondrous; I've only refined about two-tenths of it, yet I broke through to the next level on the spot."
"It saves years of arduous cultivation; if it is completely refined..."
As if he had just thought of something, Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
Based on the effects of this Dao Fruit, if it were completely refined, wouldn't it be able to push his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm!
"No wonder... no wonder the True Lord Chiyang said this fortune is immense."
" From the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Great Perfection Realm, even those with average to above-average talent need to cultivate for decades or even a hundred years."
"With the attainment of the Dao Fruit, one can break through to the next level in two or three years at most."
"This fate is truly wondrous."
Suppressing his excitement and calming his breathing, Lu Li stood up.
Ye Chenfeng then walked over, limping.
Seeing Lu Li absorb the Dao Fruit and break through his cultivation level, he showed no joy at all.
Instead, his eyes were bloodshot and his body trembled slightly.
" Senior Brother Ye, what's wrong with you...?"
Lu Li was taken aback by the other party's reaction.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw that the two Dao Fruit in the distance seemed to have finally chosen their masters.
It shot towards Xuanming Yuanyan, and was swallowed whole by the two in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the Foundation Establishment went even more crazy upon seeing this.
Even the cultivators of Supreme Origin Peak turned against each other on the spot.
He charged toward the two men, intending to disembowel them.
The scene was in complete chaos.
Half an hour later, Xuanming Yuanyan finally managed to refine the Dao Fruit after struggling to withstand the attacks of the crowd.
A strange aura surged from their bodies, leaving the Foundation Establishment cultivators extremely frustrated.
Even more agitated, one of them glanced at the three of them and spoke with agitation.
"Life and death are indiscriminate within this secret realm! If we don't act now, what chance will we have if they reach the Golden Core?"
"Who can guarantee they won't seek revenge after they get out?!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Foundation Establishment cultivators changed.
This year's Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly has no limit on the number of participants, which has many drawbacks.
It's now crystal clear.
Everyone's gaze swept back and forth between Lu Li, Xuanming, and Yuanyan.
Clearly, they were considering it.
Obtaining the Dao Fruit greatly increases one's cultivation level and significantly raises the probability of Core Formation.
If they were to attain the Golden Core, those who had offended the True Lord would likely not be able to escape.
Upon thinking of this, everyone's gaze turned cold again.
He took a step forward and charged towards Lu Li and Xuanming Yuanyan.
"Court death!"
Xuanming's expression darkened, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
Just as they were about to retaliate, the secret realm suddenly trembled.
The crimson veins in the sky seemed to come alive.
A bright entrance suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, revealing the Azure Pool Mountain Gate outside.
It's clear that the secret realm has ended.
"This... this..."
"My life is so miserable!"
Time waits for no one!
"..."
The Foundation Establishment, seeing the True Lord outside the secret realm, dared not make another move.
All that remained in my heart was regret and remorse.
Xuanming's eyes turned cold as he glared at everyone, determined to settle this score later.
Unwilling to get entangled with the crowd any longer, he leaped towards the exit of light.
Yuanyan quickly followed.
Seeing this, Lu Li didn't delay and immediately began to cast a spell to leave.
But to everyone's surprise, the moment he made a move...
My inner mind suddenly trembled!
It seemed as if something was about to burst forth from its body.
"This... this is!"
Lu Li's expression visibly turned to fear.
The next second.
In his vision, a fish-shaped jade pendant emerged from within his mind.
It hovered upright in the secret realm, exposed to his eyes.
"Not good!"
Lu Li was shocked and quickly used his Law Power to try to retrieve the jade pendant.
The magic Law Power surged forth, but there was no reaction whatsoever.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Lu Li with a strange expression.
His expression was puzzled.
" Junior Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Why did you suddenly activate your Law Power?
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression turned even more astonished.
His gaze swept over the people around him, and he found that no one was looking at him.
It was as if only he could see this jade pendant at this moment!
"What... what's going on?"
"Why did the jade pendant suddenly react again? There was something unusual when I came in."
"It actually left my body when I went outside! What happened?!"
Lu Li was still wondering when a loud bang suddenly rang in his ears.
"Boom!"
The sound was like a mountain roar, like the rage of the sea.
And this time, it resounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone heard the sound.
Everyone was startled, wondering what had happened.
The once brightly lit exit vanished in an instant.
An extremely terrifying will emerged in the sky above the secret realm.
Like a mountain, it pressed everyone to the ground.
"What's going on?!"
"Hasn't the secret realm ended?"
"Why... why is there another noise?!"
"What's that noise?"
"..."
The Foundation Establishment were shocked and began to speak, looking up at the sky.
But the blood-red patterns on the sky continued to twist and turn.
In her shock and anger, Xuanming Yuanyan, the leader, dared to use a magical Law Artifact to try and break open the newly closed entrance to the secret realm.
"Go!"
With a low shout, the flying sword was launched.
But they vanished like Dahai, disappearing into the blood-red world.
Before the two could make another move, two strange black grasses suddenly curled up from the blood-red ground and lashed out at them.
Its speed far exceeds that of the Foundation Establishment.
There was simply no time to react.
The two prodigies of Azure Pool who had just attained the Dao Fruit were instantly drained of their blood and exploded in mid-air.
That terrifying will lingered around everyone.
It seemed to be searching for something, or perhaps it was like a headless fly.
I can't find it no matter how many times I look for it.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li was even more astonished.
He could clearly feel that the powerful will was as if it were alive.
"No, it's not just that will... this secret realm... this secret realm is also strange!"
"How could life have suddenly emerged?"
Lu Li's gaze swept around.
In his Divine Sense perception, the entire secret realm seemed to be alive.
The pulse of life was incredibly vibrant, as if... as if they were inside some kind of living being.
And that will...
Feel the actions and behaviors of that will.
Lu Li swallowed hard, guessing with some disbelief.
"This will... could it be searching for my jade pendant?!"
The moment this thought arose, the jade pendant suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
This time, the entire secret realm began to tremble violently!
