Chapter 557: Miracles and Filth, The Advancement of Geniuses (4K)_2
But that was also a symbol of "miracle."
As long as he could corrupt it, he propelled himself one step closer to a greater position.
"With flesh and blood as the foundation, stepping onto the endless path of corruption, I shall eventually reach the pinnacle."
"Hehehehehe... Huh?!"
The youth with crimson eyes and black hair suddenly widened his eyes; it seemed as if a surge of scarlet blood waves tumbled in his pupils, his gaze filled with murderous intent sweeping across the surroundings.
In an instant, the whole world descended into corruption, leaving only the glaring blood red.
Countless bloody flesh sprouts materialized out of thin air, continuously growing and rapidly vanishing.
This was his rage.
It was also his bafflement.
"What happened to that massive rainbow of colors?"
"The eternal presence, untouched and undisturbed, the unreachable and unseizable rainbow of colors—how could it just disappear?!"
This was illogical!
Intense fury poured over the land beyond the fog, turning an entire region upside down, and yet the trace of that rainbow of colors was still not found. Discover exclusive tales at My Virtual Library Empire
The youth with crimson eyes and black hair had to reluctantly admit that the rainbow had vanished.
Why did it disappear?
"Was it those several legendary youth entities?"
He recalled the figures he had encountered recently, the ones faintly worthy of his attention.
The so-called children of the world, Legendary Lives.
He shook his head. "They are merely legends."
In the eyes of countless wise beings, legends were the noblest, grandest lives, but in the eyes of the youth with crimson eyes and black hair, legends were merely higher-echelon beings nurtured by the Eternal World.
His origin, his status was even higher, qualifying him to look down on legends.
Legends were even further from "miracles." If he hadn't controlled a strand of "corruption" authority, not to mention relying on the power of the Law Realm, even possessing the power of the Saint Realm, Great Lord, or even True King-class, wouldn't affect that miracle in the slightest.
This was the fundamental disparity due to the power hierarchy!
What about those youthful legends? Their statuses weren't high enough, and their power was even weaker.
He could easily disregard complete form legends, let alone mere youths.
"It couldn't be those legends. More likely, it was one of those two fellows."
"I will remember this grudge."
...
In the region of Xiji City, at the World Secret Realm entrance, the place was lively at this moment.
"Look here, behold, various Superior Remnant Souls!"
"Selling thirteen Superior Miracle Blueprints, only accepting exchanges of blueprints of the same level, with price differences compensated according to value."
"One-Handed Chamber of Commerce is purchasing all kinds of Rare Treasures, while also buying information about various strongmen."
"Freshly produced world-class strongman newspaper by One-Handed Chamber of Commerce, now on sale for a limited-time 20% discount!"
Not long ago, a small marketplace initiated and led by the Lord of Tianyuan City had, in the blink of an eye, developed into a vast market.
Many explorers with rich harvests lingered, either purchasing items of their need or selling the treasures they had recently acquired, exchanging them.
The marketplace here was incredibly huge.
After all, right in front of this modest Secret Realm entrance, had gathered hundreds of Legendary Realms, representing hundreds of territories and Great Powers.
The array of high-end goods in this marketplace far exceeded that of the official major cities.
Of course, as explorers exited the World Secret Realm and gradually returned to the closest major city, 'Xiji City,' Xiji City along with several main towns under its jurisdiction had rapidly booming markets. Several merchants smelling opportunities had long been waiting in these cities to buy these high-end treasures, which were extremely difficult to purchase with Soul Crystal Coins on regular days.
But the true top-tier chamber of commerce, powerful forces, naturally set up points directly at the Secret Realm entrance to purchase Rare Treasures from the source.
What flowed into the Xiji City market was just some less sought-after High-level Treasures.
Tianyuan City had set up its point early and naturally had procured many much-needed items.
"Boss, we have already purchased over two hundred sixty main materials for Legendary Realm breakthroughs."
Daisy approached him, rose on her tip-toes, and whispered in his ear.
Later, you could have communicated directly through the Web of Spirit.
"Not bad."
Mu Yuan thought for a moment, then placed his hand on Daisy's head, gently ruffling it.
Tianyuan City had also recently signed a support agreement with Gemstone Country, which would soon bring a large quantity of Legendary Breakthrough Materials into their inventory.
It seemed a promising future was in store for Tianyuan City.
Mu Yuan revealed a smile.
Almost all the explorers present wore smiles on their faces.
Indeed, this exploration of the World Secret Realm was not without danger; countless explorers had perished within, and many unforeseen events had happened even in the Legendary Realm.
But when was wilderness exploration ever without danger?
These explorers, these pioneers, were essentially dancing through a sea of knives and flames. Compared to the past, the gains from this journey to the World Secret Realm were far too great!
As long as they were not unfortunate enough to die in the Secret Realm, almost everyone had seen significant improvements.
The overall strength of the Tai Xuan Alliance had significantly increased.
"In the near future, ceremonies for breakthroughs to Legendary status will be seen all over the Tai Xuan regions," Mu Yuan thought.
Even Jiang Luoxing, the young fellow, couldn't help but message him privately, confidently stating that he could break through to Legendary within a month.
"So you're saying you're going to be the second strongest in our batch?"
Stepping into Legendary in less than two years was something that could be considered prodigious even in the entire history of Tai Xuan.
He could almost match the record holder, the Lord of Han Yue City.
Had Jiang already become that powerful?
"No," Jiang Luoxing sighed, "the perennial second place in our batch is still Wangba, that kid. I heard he's already Legendary. Not just him, Liu Miumiu is about to reach Legendary too, and so are Shuang Tian, Yu She, and Da Ri. I suppose they have also created their Domains, and Legendary isn't far off for them."
"Are they already that strong?"
Mu Yuan sighed wistfully.
He recalled the days when during the selection battle for representatives of Tai Xuan, they only had a few elite-level generals.
He remembered when Tianyuan City birthed its first Legendary Realm being, the peers were only at Third-order.
And now, Tianyuan City was just within combat power at the Law Realm, and his contemporaries were already reaching Legendary status.
"This competition is getting too intense! Even I, the first among my peers, am feeling the pressure."
Mu Yuan murmured.
Jiang Luoxing: "???"
"Is that even human language?"
Did others not know? The Primordial Spirit had long nurtured world-class strongmen; no, he had already slain not just one or two world-class creatures!
He was a huge fan of the Primordial Spirit.
"Perhaps, this is why Mu Ju is so outstanding? I need to learn... no, I really can't learn this, I'd better focus on breaking through to Legendary quickly."
...
"I'm already at the Peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm, and I've refined my bloodline to Epic level; Ba Long, I'm about to be invincible."
Inside the training grounds of a great city, Ba Long was getting used to his drastically increased power, thrilled beyond measure.
To think that just a few months ago, he had stepped into the Legendary Realm.
In just a few months, he went from a recent Legendary to the peak of the Legendary Realm? It was like a dream.
"Wuji, that kid, is probably no match for me anymore. Tianyuan... ugh, if only a few more of such great opportunities came along, maybe, just maybe, I could catch up to that freak Tianyuan."
...
Shen Yao Empire.
One of the seven young generation super lords, known as the Fire God, Hale, had brilliant golden flames burning in his eyes at that moment.
Great Sun Golden Flame!
This was not only an Upper-Epic Treasure, but it also suited him perfectly.
With this great opportunity, he had completely integrated an entire cluster of Great Sun Golden Flames into his body, merging with his bloodline and his God Soul.
"My God Soul is growing; I can even manipulate strands of Conceptual Power with a body at the Soul Realm."
"Having experience using Conceptual Power will make my future breakthrough to the Principle Realm much easier!"
"This way, I can truly live up to the name 'Fire God.'"
Hale was well aware that his title of 'Fire God' was purely a result of Shen Yao Empire's promotional efforts.
He himself was certainly not bad, but to compare himself with the Lord Tianyuan of the Tai Xuan Alliance or the Lord of Han Yue City was still not enough.
He knew his limits.
However, the past was the past, and now was now.
He now had confidence.
He was already a world-class strongman, and he had a great chance to step into the Principle Realm before that extremely talented Lord of Tianyuan City!
