Chapter 538: Holy Realm

[Game Announcement: Dear Chosen Ones, the secret realm trial is about to end. Please prepare everyone. Three years from now, you will return to the real world!]

On this day, all the game players in the Huayang secret realm received the game announcement.

Upon hearing this announcement, everyone grew excited.

“Heavens, over a hundred years! Do you know how I’ve spent over a hundred years?”

With the announcement, everyone burst into tears of joy.

For over a hundred years, they had only engaged in killing and cultivation, only killing and cultivating.

Almost every three days, they needed to hunt at least one beast tribe creature. If more than ten days passed without a hunt, a beast tribe creature of a higher cultivation level would come after them.

This forced everyone to actively participate in battles.

Fortunately, the game was not completely ruthless; during breakthroughs, it did not force everyone to fight.

Thus, those who had survived until now had all killed over ten thousand beast tribe creatures.

Some killing gods had even slain over tens of thousands of beast tribe creatures.

Just as everyone reveled in joy, the game announcement appeared again.

[Game Announcement: The game is coming to an end, and finally, the game officials will arrange various leaderboards and distribute rewards.

These leaderboards include the cultivation level leaderboard, magical weapon leaderboard, beast hunting leaderboard, killing god leaderboard…]

[Game Announcement: With three years remaining, the official game will unleash the last wave of beast tribe creatures. This will be your final chance to earn cultivation resources; we hope everyone cherishes it.]

Li Xiaojun had already decided to end the boring game.

This game had consumed over a hundred years of time, and he was somewhat tired of it.

In the secret realm, many soon saw the game leaderboards and claimed their rewards.

First up was the cultivation level leaderboard.

In first place was He Miaomiao, at mid-stage Great Ascension, who received a magical weapon.

Second was someone named Tuo Nan, at Late Integration Stage, who received a high-quality imperial weapon.

As for Yun Lan, who had only just broken through to the Integration stage, she received nothing at all.

Since the leaderboard rewarded only the top ten, many who didn’t make the list could only stare in frustration.

Next came the magical weapon leaderboard, not counting the weapons just awarded.

Thus, the top entry was Qing Shuang Sword, a high-quality spiritual weapon, still belonging to He Miaomiao, who received one billion superior grade spirit stones.

…

Then came the fifth-ranked Sun-Hunting Bow, a middle-grade spiritual weapon. Finally, Yun Lan made the list and earned five hundred million superior grade spirit stones.

…

Next was the beast hunting leaderboard.

When the beast hunting leaderboard appeared, many people widened their eyes in disbelief.

Surprisingly, in first place on the beast hunting leaderboard was the female demon lord, Yun Lan.

The leaderboard showed that she had killed over one hundred thirty-six thousand beast tribe creatures.

This meant that over the span of one hundred years, she averaged nearly four creature kills per day.

In contrast, the second-ranked player had only hunted over forty thousand beast tribe creatures, less than a third of Yun Lan’s count.

The beast hunting leaderboard offered extremely generous rewards.

Yun Lan, ranked first, received a large lump of Essence of Origin, almost the size of an adult’s head.

…

Finally, there was the killing god leaderboard.

Once again, Yun Lan secured the first place.

The leaderboard revealed that Yun Cang had killed over two thousand people.

The second place had only killed over fifty.

It could be said that Yun Lan was truly the killing god in this game trial.

The reward for the first place on the killing god leaderboard was a choice among attack, defense, and functional immortal tools.

In the end, Yun Lan chose the defensive immortal tool.

To her, nothing was more important than staying alive.

Without any hesitation, Yun Lan directly claimed the defensive immortal tool and equipped it.

Rainbow Feather Garment was a Heavenly Immortal level immortal tool that looked like a cloak.

The defensive power of this tool was unknown, but it had a powerful passive effect: as long as it was filled with spiritual energy, it could withstand an attack from a Heavenly Immortal level being once and had a built-in reflection damage effect.

Of course, if it could withstand attacks from a Heavenly Immortal level being, it would easily handle attacks from Spirit Realm cultivators.

However, there was a significant drawback: Yun Lan didn’t know where to find spiritual energy to replenish the immortal tool.

Based on the small amount of energy the immortal tool came with, it could at most endure dozens of attacks from a completed great emperor during the Tribulation stage.

Nevertheless, even so, it was still an excellent defensive treasure.

This immortal tool was specifically prepared by Li Xiaojun for Yun Lan’s safety.

Firstly, as a killing god, Yun Lan’s fame had spread widely in the game. Even He Miaomiao wanted to take her down, and Li Xiaojun was uncertain if Yun Lan would be attacked by a group after leaving the secret realm.

Thus, this immortal tool could be used to protect her life.

Moreover, the beast tribe would soon arrive at Huayang Star, so Yun Lan might face powerful beast tribe warriors or even a Beast Emperor.

Therefore, this immortal tool would help her survive in the hands of a Beast Emperor.

In addition, Yun Lan also received enough demon essence and five hundred million superior grade spirit stones.

These resources were sufficient for her to cultivate and undergo tribulation and ascend.

Next, Li Xiaojun decided to continue transforming life planets, so he didn’t have much time to focus on Yun Lan.

From now on, everything would depend on her to explore and develop.

If she could survive and ascend to the Immortal Realm, it would mean that her luck was good.

If she died in the battle against the beast tribe, it would be her fate.

Of course, Li Xiaojun had given her ample support, not only with the protective immortal tool but also with sufficient cultivation resources.

If she still couldn’t grow, it could only be said that her luck was too low.

…

“Dad, what brings you here?”

In the Immortal Realm, Liu Hongxia was surprised to see Li Xiaojun.

“How’s it going? How are you and the others developing here?” Li Xiaojun asked Liu Hongxia with a smile.

Before leaving, Li Xiaojun decided to check out the Immortal Realm in this star system.

“Dad, this is the progress we have made in the Immortal Realm this year.” Liu Hongxia handed a piece of jade slip to Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun received the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense, quickly understanding how Liu Hongxia and her group had developed in the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm in this star system was quite different from that of the Milky Way Galaxy.

In this world’s Immortal Realm, there were a total of eleven Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses.

Before Liu Hongxia arrived in the Immortal Realm, the Human Race was merely a middle-tier race in the Immortal Realm.

However, after Liu Hongxia and her group arrived, the Human Race had become the twelfth largest race in the Immortal Realm.

As the only Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse among the Human Race, almost all of them looked to Liu Hongxia for guidance.

Thus, the Human Race had made significant progress in the Immortal Realm.

What’s more, Liu Hongxia was able to challenge and defeat a completed Golden Immortal by herself, which forced the Golden Immortal to admit defeat.

This level of fighting power could not help but earn the Human Race’s status in the eyes of the Myriad Tribes.

In just a hundred years, the Human Race had become one of the twelve major races in the Immortal Realm, thanks to Liu Hongxia.

“Dad, I recently discovered some very special news here,” Liu Hongxia said to Li Xiaojun.

“What news?” Li Xiaojun asked in surprise.

“It’s like this: I learned that there is a legend in the Immortal Realm. To break through to a realm beyond Golden Immortal, one must enter the gigantic black hole at the center of the Immortal Realm. It is said that there is a passage to the Holy Realm within that black hole,” Liu Hongxia explained to Li Xiaojun.

“The Holy Realm?” Li Xiaojun was astonished.

“Yes, the Holy Realm, a world of higher dimensions than the Immortal Realm,” Liu Hongxia confirmed.
