--- Chapter 77 ---

Yu Long laughed when the so-called thief proudly exclaimed himself as the best in the Profound Sky Continent. It was funny for Yu Long because no one would have the same confidence when meeting him.

Even the Primordial Azure Dragon won't be so smug.

Yet Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand possesses such a quality. He didn't know about Yu Long's status and power, so this ignorant reaction was 'easily' expected.

"So, what do you want from me?" The thief opened his mouth. 

"No funny business because I'd kill you if it's a half-assed offer." 

Yu Long rubbed his chin and answered casually, "Well, I've come to recruit you." 

"Test?? You're blowing my cover just for this?" The thief was speechless.

"You gotta be kidding me? What makes you think I won't kill you right fucking now?" 

Yu Long glanced at the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, who currently wore the noodle stall owner's disguise, and commented, "You can try." 

"But it wouldn't be a good time for you." 

"Hmph!" With a flash of lightning, the dagger behind Yu Long's back traveled at a sharp point and reached his neck.

Yu Long nonchalantly yawned and ignored the dagger that soon broke because of its low quality.

Crack!

Upon reaching Yu Long's neck, the dagger snapped into three pieces. 

"..." Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand.

My dagger!!

Fuck!

The thief grimaced as he realized this handsome-looking young man wasn't your typical young master with low cultivation and strength.

'He's a monster! My dagger was created with Profound Yin Steel, so nothing below Emperor Profound Realm could break it!' He stared at Yu Long solemnly.

Are you telling me this young man's body is that of Emperor Profound Realm or above? 

Hell no, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand won't stay here any longer.

"First test, you may run as far as possible. I'll give you a ten-second head start." Yu Long stated while chewing on a meat jerky.

"Go." 

'I would be at a loss if you're testing my prowess, but run?' Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand snorted and disappeared with a flash of lightning. In terms of speed, no one could rival him.

In a third of a second, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand has traveled several hundred meters away. He also changed his appearance and steps.

Unknown to Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, no matter how far he ran, he wouldn't escape from Yu Long's grasp.

[Abyssal Hunt Mark]

Yu Long can detect his target like a predator by placing a 'certain' scent on his prey. This ability won't get repelled by Spatial Movement and also weakens the target's sense by consuming their blood essence.

Not everyone is like Yu Long because a 'normal' cultivator has a limited blood essence.

Three 'great' changes when entering Sky Profound Realm are profound energy, perception, and body. Upon entering this realm, one's energy gained a qualitative transformation and evolved as if it had wings.

The energy becomes one with an atmospheric environment, allowing Sky Profound Realm Experts to use the Profound Floating Technique and fly.

Their perception also increased as it opened a new realm: the Gate of Sky to them. 

Gate of Sky is the opening realm when one's profound art sublime under continuous accumulation, which allows one to comprehend a domain.

Of course, comprehending it doesn't mean using it.

And body. The body of Sky Profound Realm Expert is different than Earth Profound Realms.

As if practitioners' bodies were 'randomly' blessed with profound strength in the atmosphere, they cracked out of their mortal cocoon. They started their path into immortality, in this case, a 'bigger' profound way known as the Divine Realm.

Their blood essence multiplied by a hundred times that of Earth's Profound Realm. Their bodies gained rapid explosive power and could decimate small mountains with enough preparation.

"But it's far from enough to run away from Abyssal Hunt Mark." Yu Long enjoyed his jerky. "Nine seconds would be the limit Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand has." 

Eight seconds later.

Several kilometers away outside the Divine Phoenix City, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand suddenly kneeled on the ground and panted like a sick dog.

"What??" A confused expression plastered his new disguise, a young woman in a black robe.

"Since when did my stamina become so poor? I can outrun Throne-level experts, but this..." 

"I felt so weak." 

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand blinked and saw Yu Long leaning on a tree before him. 

"..." The disguise's red lips twitched in disbelief.

"W-When did you get here?" 

"Just now?" Yu Long smiled at him.

'Just now? Like I'd believe that!' Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand stared at Yu Long dumbly. 

"Oh, you ran 33.5 kilometers away in just ten seconds. Could be better, but not bad." Yu Long observed the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand's profound veins.

"Your profound energy circulates smooth enough to put you above the rest of the similar realm. But it won't cut it for me." 

"Too much inefficiency and waste of energy is made when using your profound arts. Your presence concealing is strong but flawed in a certain way." 

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand shivered.

Not because Yu Long could catch up to him but because he could tell his profound energy and presence

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand cultivated [Extreme Mirage Lightning], and it was a movement skill hereditary to his clan.

[Extreme Mirage Lightning] has two core usages.

First, Hidden Flowing Lightning. 

It allows the user to suppress his profound energy aura within a range determined by the user, and it also allows the user to display an energy that would seem far weaker than it was. At peak, one could hide and manipulate energy to the 'weakest' feeble stage.

Simply put, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand could turn himself(on top of disguise) into an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever. 

Yet Yu Long could still catch the subtleness of his energy.

It is terrifying!

Second, Extreme Mirage Lightning itself.

A movement skill that even gods and devils could not fathom. It would allow the user to outrun opponents that are realms above their own!

However, this terrifying young man could outpace him.

"Let's start with the second test." Yu Long crossed his arms.

"All you need to do is resist my aura." 

"If you pass this, you will become my direct subordinate and be gifted with a chance to fulfill your wish." 

"Ready?" He flashed a smile at the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand.

The thief swallowed nervously, "R-Ready." 

[Ultimate Predator's Gaze]

Under the thief's watchful eyes, Yu Long's golden eyes suddenly emitted an intense, bloody aura.

The world lost its color.

The air became stagnant as the single thing Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand could sense right now was his own beating heart.

His instinct screamed, telling him to run away.

Nevertheless, every inch of his muscle seemingly gave up. 

He couldn't gather any energy.

Thud!

Thud! 

Thud!

The loud sound of a heart beating comes from the thief's chest.

Coldness washed his body.

An image of a woman flashed in the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand's mind, and countless hatred toward one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds. He didn't know, but this buried feeling burst out at this very moment.

'As expected, he has a special bloodline as well.' Yu Long's eyes lit up because a sleeping beast inside this man was about to awaken.

In the original story, thanks to the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, Yun Che obtained [Extreme Mirage Lightning] and escaped from near-death experiences several times.

Not only that but [Extreme Mirage Lightning] is also suitable to be paired with other movement-type profound art because it carries the concept of lightning and speed.

Such a profound art carries a 'mystery' that shouldn't exist in the current era.

Yu Long suspected it came from the era near the Age of Gods. 

Yes, An inheritance from a God or Devil Race. 

"At least some of the essence is still there." Yu Long grinned slightly.

BANG!

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand stood up and successfully broke into 1st level of Emperor Profound Realm. He gasped for air and stared at Yu Long as if he were a monstrous entity, a god.

Yu Long gave off a feeling of boundless sea.

"T-Thank you for helping me, your highness!" He kneeled on the ground fearfully and gratefully.

Yu Long chuckled and waved his hand, "Haha, it's nothing." 

"I simply open a gap for you to enter." 

"And you pass that gate and my test." 

"Congratulations, you're qualified to join my Shadow Realm." He extended his hand. "By taking my hand, your fate will change drastically..." 

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand's heart shook as he remembered Yu Long's godly prowess earlier. He grasped Yu Long's hand, "Please take care of me well from now on, your highness!" 

"Good, good." 

"By the way, what's your name again?" Yu Long asked cluelessly.

Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand once again felt speechless.

His mouth and eyebrows twitched, "M-My name is Hua Minghai."

Unknown to Hua Minghai, this is the starting point for him to become Divine Commander of Speed and Yu Long's right hand.
