Some lake in Purgatory Star.
Du Tian Le stooped to watch the lake, holding the blood crown in his hand.
All of a sudden, he made a stern expression and felt surprised. He couldn't help but cry, "Ah!"
Leona could feel something too. Her line of sight fell on an area in the lake. An uncontrollable joy crossed her dark, green eyes.
"What's happening? Earth and heaven energy in that area is changing. From this situation, perhaps someone is breaking into the new realm?" Du Tian Le was startled. Then, he recalled something. "Shi Yan is in that area."
Everybody was shaken.
Rochester, Carthew, and Da Lei were surprised. Strange light shot out from their eyes as they shifted their looks to that area.
Ao Gu Duo grimaced and couldn't hide his snort. He seemed to be very irritated.
In the mirror lake, massive energy was gathering inside a cave of a hill. That kind of energy looked like immense, gray clouds. The energy seemed to be tied by an invisible entity that kept pulling them, gathering them together. Strange beams of light shot out from that cluster as if they were refining energy.
At the beginning, the mass of that gray energy was as big as a room. Gradually, the energy in its core had pulled and gathered more earth and heaven energy. Shortly, the mass of energy clustered at that area had covered ten mu (1) of land.
Peculiar energy fluctuations appeared in that area. From time to time, they could see light shoot out from a small slit in the space.
From their perspective, they could only see energy continually gathering. They could see neither what was happening inside the cave nor what Shi Yan was doing.
However, they knew that only one contestant knew how to use space power and make space crack. That person was Shi Yan.
So although they couldn't see his figure, they were sure he was the one who was creating such a tremendous commotion.
Earth and heaven energy condensed and refined unceasingly, creating the miraculous power that could change the body. This was the most evident sign that happened when a True God Realm warrior was breaking through to the King God Realm.
Apparently, at this moment, Shi Yan was immersing in his breakthrough.
"It's been just three months, a short period and he can make it to this step. Not bad. In fact, he's good." Carthew was sinking in thought. He was astounded for a while before talking, instinctively looking at Leona.
Leona wasn't shaken. She was calm, and hope could be seen through her eyes.
"If this boy can get out alive, his future potential is immeasurable." Da Lei suddenly spoke up after many days of keeping silent. His eyes raked through people then said seriously. "I met him three years ago. At that time, he had only the Second Sky of True God Realm cultivation base."
He would never mistake it. The battle that took place three years ago had left a deep impression on his mind that he would never forget.
He would never forget that Shi Yan, at his Second Sky of True God Realm, had subdued his son Da Meng three years ago.
Through that battle, he could see a shadow behind Shi Yan. The shadow that had disappeared for so many years, but he still respected it out of fear.
That's also why he didn't dare kill Shi Yan even though he felt so ashamed. He didn't dare attack him himself but he had planned some stealthy plans.
He was afraid of the shadow behind Shi Yan. He was afraid that if he made a wrong assumption, disaster would fall on him and his family.
That man was an undying legend of the Raging Flame Star Area. Whoever had known about his legend would never dare face him.
Da Lei's cold explanation had attracted many people.
Ao Gu Duo couldn't stay calm. He shot up from his seat, trying to hide the fright on his face. "Da Lei, are you sure? That kid had only the Second Sky of True God Realm cultivation base three years ago?"
Rochester expressed his admiration. "Zi Yao's good fortune is here. Finally, I know why she wanted to give Ao Gera's quota to Shi Yan. I got it now. That little girl isn't bad."
Carthew was shaken. His eyes brightened as he took a deep breath. "Three years. He needed just three years to enter the Third Sky of True God Realm from the Second Sky of True God Realm. If he had accumulated for many years, it wouldn't have been a big surprise. However, his Third Sky of True God Realm has just been established after three years. And now he was able to walk through the door leading to the King God Realm. Three years. He has used only three years. He's a monster! Such a monster!"
Carthew's eyes brightened.
In their eyes, when Shi Yan was still at the Second Sky of True God Realm, he could have a lot of time accumulating energy and perceiving his realm. Breaking through the Third Sky of True God Realm in three years wasn't something too special to achieve.
They thought that Shi Yan must have had a long time cultivating before that.
But this was different.
The time he took to enter the King God Realm from the Third Sky of True God Realm had taken him less than three years.
How can someone comprehend that?
The five great feudal vassals and Du Tian Le were startled. They all fell into silence.
"I think after a warrior reached the Third Sky of True God Realm, even if he uses magical pellets and medicine every day, he can't fill the Essence Qi ancient tree within three years, let alone spend countless days comprehending his powers Upanishad. Three years is just a flash in our life, a small ripple in the long river of life. It isn't worth mentioning. But he..." Rochester shook his head, forcing a smile. "I had spent almost one hundred years to find a chance to leap up from the Third Sky of True God Realm. This is considered fast already. Many have spent several hundred years to reach the King God Realm!"
Everybody stayed silent..
Even foul-mouthed Ao Gu Duo had zipped his mouth with a gloomy and uncertain face. No one knew what he was thinking.
"If he can maintain this cultivating speed," Leona gloomy voice arose before pausing from looking at the grimaced Ao Gu Duo, "his boasting words can become true. Within one hundred years, he can take the head on your neck, Ao Gu Duo. These are no longer the words of a madman."
Everybody else recalled this event. They shifted their strange looks toward Ao Gu Duo.
Under their scrutinizing looks, Ao Gu Duo darkened his face and said nothing. He grimaced more, his sturdy body trembling. Apparently, the other had poked his wound.
"I think she had just bragged. I never thought that I had underestimated him." Carthew suddenly laughed. He picked up the strong liquor from the maid standing next to him, gulped, then laughed louder. "I've drunk and chatted with him. Perhaps I can brag about this later. Haha. Interesting. Maybe I can witness a miracle. A new star is rising in the sky of the divine nation with its glorious light."
"Seems I will have to flatter him when he gets out of there. Haha." Rochester added with an odd look.
Ao Gu Duo looked like he was about to shoot fire from his eyes. He was shivering indignantly. His face had darkened to the acme.
"Don't get too excited. Breaking in the Extreme Purgatory Field isn't always a good thing. Did you forget where he is?" Du Tian Le suddenly spoke up, frowning deeply. "How many could have a decent end breaking to a new realm in this Extreme Purgatory Field?"
Hearing him, the shaken Ao Gu Duo laughed sinisterly. "Oh yeah. No matter how endless his potential is, risking his life to break through the new realm in the Extreme Purgatory Field is no different from finding a way to death. Haha!"
Leona remembered the special features of the Extreme Purgatory Field. She couldn't hide her pale face as she felt a little anxious.
What happened was not different from what they anticipated.
After Du Tian Le finished, new changes happened in Shi Yan's area.
Within one hundred miles around, many prisoners were hiding. From the peculiar change of earth and heaven energy, they knew what was happening.
Someone was about to break through in the Extreme Purgatory Field! This realization stirred up the prisoners. They didn't hesitate. All started to move toward Shi Yan's location.
Any warrior breaking through to the new realm shouldn't be disturbed. Especially when they were about to break through a big realm! This breakthrough needed to be carried out discreetly. They even needed strong warriors to guard them. Once they got attacked, it wasn't uncommon if they got killed.
It was different from the time Shi Yan broke through to the True God Realm. To reach the King God Realm, he needed to gather earth and heaven energy, which couldn't be done quickly.
At this moment, he couldn't be distracted so he couldn't urge his power to resist the enemies. He needed to focus wholeheartedly to break through. If he got a lot of enemies waiting for this moment, he would be surrounded and have no means to withstand.
Every one of the prisoners knew that it was convenient for them to attack him at this moment. Thus, all of them started to flood this place.
Soon, savage villains appeared one by one in front of Shi Yan's cave. There were around ten with several Second Sky of King God Realm warriors.
"Haha, everyone has their own fate. He doesn't know the dangerous features of the Extreme Purgatory Field, and he dares take such risks. Haha." Ao Gu Duo calmed down as the big rock hanging in his heart seemed to disappear. He could smile now.
Rochester, Carthew, and Du Tian Le were solemn. They all frowned and sighed inwardly. They thought that Shi Yan was acting rashly. He wasn't careful as he had made so many ferocious villains surround him.
Even Leona was restlessly agitated. She scolded him in her mind, thinking that Shi Yan was too arrogant. He understood the perilous characteristics of the Extreme Purgatory Field, but he dared to break through in this evil place.
Her worries weren't only because of a life star but something else...
Shi Yan's life was related to one of her secrets and even her future. She shouldn't be tense, but she didn't want to stand and stare at the prisoners taking Shi Yan's life while he was in the middle of his breakthrough.
