Chapter 1165: Arriving at the Fog Realm
After Liu Yan left the Flaming Mountain, he headed directly towards the island region to the east.
Of course, Liu Yan didn’t go there directly. Instead, he specifically bypassed the location of the Origin Territory.
Even though he didn’t detect any scouts from the Lakon Territory along the way, it was better to be cautious. Liu Yan didn’t want to risk the coordinates of the Origin Territory being discovered by Lakon Territory’s scouts due to his carelessness, which could bring danger to the Origin Territory.
Throughout the journey, Liu Yan continued to use the A-grade skill, Shadow Cloak, and the A- grade skill, Traceless Silence, to maintain invisibility and proceed carefully.
Liu Yan only spent half a day at the core of the Flaming Mountain. However, in this short time, Liu Yan’s progress was immense.
In just half a day, Liu Yan’s abilities underwent a dramatic transformation, directly advancing his combat strength from late-stage 22-star to early-stage 24-star.
This increase in two-star levels represented a significant improvement.
Liu Yan estimated that with his current combat strength, he should be able to defeat Lei Tianming without much difficulty.
However, it was still not enough.
After all, there was still a significant gap in overall strength between the Origin Territory and the Lakon Territory.
Even though the Origin Territory could rely on various defensive buildings to defend against the attacks from the Lakon Territory.
But at most, they could only hold their ground, which wasn’t enough.
Liu Yan’s combat strength was only sufficient to resist Lei Tianming. However, it was apparent that it was not enough to both restrain Lei Tianming and provide assistance to the frontlines and the ordinary members of the Origin Territory.
Fortunately, the rewards obtained from the core of the Blazing Mountain far exceeded Liu Yan’s expectations.
With his strengthened abilities, Liu Yan felt significantly more confident.
Although his current strength was insufficient, he believed that with continued effort, both he and the Origin Territory could overcome their challenges.
Even when facing the formidable might of the Lakon Territory, the Origin Territory could resist.
If news of this were to spread, it would be hard for anyone to believe.
After all, the power gap between a newly established territory and a long-standing one was too vast.
Who wouldn’t be considered a genius to reach the sixth level of the tower within the Wind Barrier?
Everyone was a genius, gifted with unique talents, and had experienced various trials and hardships to arrive here.
But what others couldn’t imagine was that the Origin Territory had a great opportunity to achieve this now!
Although Liu Yan was uncertain about the progress of the other experts in the Origin Territory, he couldn’t intervene at this moment.
All he could do was continue on his plan.
Now that Liu Yan had received a significant boost in strength from passing through the core of the Flaming Mountain, he could venture deeper into the fog realm of the eastern island region to seek the unknown and discover more opportunities for improvement!
With his SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, Liu Yan had countless opportunities to enhance his strength.
It could be said that whenever Liu Yan encountered a formidable opponent, he had the chance to rapidly bolster his abilities.
The true power of his SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, became increasingly evident as Liu Yan grew stronger.
When his strength was lacking, Liu Yan could rely on his SSS-grade Divine Extraction to swiftly advance his capabilities. However, other Awakened individuals had their methods for rapid enhancement.
For instance, descendants of prominent families could rely on abundant resources provided by their lineage to progress swiftly, even without extraordinary talent or fortuitous encounters. This was an advantage that ordinary Awakened individuals couldn’t match.
As their strength increased and they ascended to the ranks of experts, their approach changed. Even descendants of prestigious families would eventually see a slowdown in their progress as they relied less on rare resources.
But Liu Yan was different, having the SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, he had no worries whatsoever.
After his strength had elevated to that of an expert, Liu Yan’s rate of improvement did not slow down in the slightest. It even accelerated.
The advantages of the SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, became increasingly apparent.
At this moment, Liu Yan also recalled the message conveyed by the core of the Flaming Mountain just now.
The core of the Flaming Mountain had just indicated that once it advanced if Liu Yan needed assistance, he could call upon it for help.
Liu Yan understood that there was a favor owed from last time, the core of the Flaming Mountain wanted to repay it.
However, on the other hand, it was evident that the core of the Flaming Mountain saw Liu Yan’s talent as quite extraordinary. In just a brief moment, he experienced such a significant comprehension and gained a substantial increase in strength. That was why it sought to please Liu Yan and establish a closer relationship with him.
In essence, while the core of the Flaming Mountain appeared simple on the surface, it was quite complex. Its simplicity was only superficial.
Liu Yan sighed, as he had anticipated this.
After all, these mystic monsters had lifespans starting from a hundred years, with many even living for a millennium. They were akin to ancient monsters.
Having survived for so many years, experienced various events, and kept their minds simple would have been strange. None of them were ordinary monsters.
However, among these ancient monsters, the core of the Flaming Mountain was considered
relatively good.
At the very least, it had kept its promise and cooperated with Liu Yan to aid his
comprehension.
Now, it even volunteered to assist Liu Yan. Despite having an ulterior motive in getting close
to him, it had indeed helped Liu Yan. That was sufficient!
The power of the core of the Flaming Mountain was astonishingly formidable.
Currently, it had reached the SSS-grade Fire Elemental Law, and it had also reached 24-star combat strength, similar to Liu Yan’s after his upgrade.
Moreover, the core of the Flaming Mountain was still evolving. After its advancement, its strength would undoubtedly become even more formidable.
With such a potent ally, Liu Yan naturally felt very pleased. It also provided him with more confidence in facing the formidable Lakon Territory in the future!
Liu Yan’s principle was straightforward. As long as the core of the Flaming Mountain genuinely helped him and harbored no ill intentions, Liu Yan would be willing to repay it, even if its motives were not entirely pure.
However, at the same time, Liu Yan remained vigilant. He wouldn’t blindly trust the core of the Flaming Mountain. If he detected any malice in it, Liu Yan would not fall for its schemes! Liu Yan shook his head and refrained from dwelling on these thoughts. These were matters for the future. For now, it was best to focus on his current journey through the fog realm. Liu Yan took a detour, intentionally bypassing the Origin Territory to ensure it remained safe. However, this decision prolonged his journey.
By the time Liu Yan reached the eastern island region, dusk was approaching. Nighttime within the Wind Barrier was even more perilous, so they refrained from taking
unnecessary risks.
Hastily, Liu Yan flew towards the island region. In the outer reaches, he discovered a desolate
island devoid of any living beings and decided to spend the night there. Tomorrow morning, he would venture deeper into the fog realm, commencing his solo adventure!
