Chapter 107 - CHAPTER 107 – THE SECRET REGION OF THE BEYOND REALM (2)

Following the map, Solanky appeared in the 30th zone of the secret region, south of Karan's zone. Before him was a vast icy land spanning several light-years in the void. Solanky was taken aback because the various secret regions differed significantly in appearance from one another. Still, they all had something in common, which was higher spiritual energy fluctuation. Off in the distance, Solanky sees multitudes of beings converging on a stone platform. He realized that the stone platform was a teleportation array that led into the true zone of the 30th zone, which was hundreds of billions of light-years wide, making it the largest of the zones and the most dangerous. Solanky joined the multitude on the stone platform. After a brief moment, they were all teleported into the core of the 30th zone. Upon arriving, Solanky's senses picked up a powerful, potent, poisonous invisible gas spreading quickly towards the multitude he was part of. This poison was very powerful and ranked second beneath the velvet cloud of contamination on the hierarchical list of deadly poisons. Those who controlled the velvet cloud of contamination didn't fear this poison, but the same couldn't be said for the other beings. Activating his observational technique, he deduced the origins of this invisible, poisonous gas and wanted to seize the opportunity to learn more about it. Solanky's body dissolved into velvet mist and flew towards the origins of the gas; the other saint emperors who were there to look for opportunities paid no heed to him as they knew he was heading into a very dangerous part of the zone. After becoming a transcendent entity, he could change the appearance of his body and make it tangible or intangible based on his will. He entered through a hole that was a few meters in width, and around the hole were dead venerable saints and saint emperors, level beings who were caught off guard by the spreading invisible poisonous gas. Solanky, after passing the hole, was bewildered because before him was the dead, lifeless body of a contaminated special lifeform true peak-turn being whose body was giving off the poisonous invisible gas. As a result of that, the lifeless true peak-turns body had formed a core as a result of the countless years of being lifeless and immobile for hundreds of trillions of years. Solanky, with his little knowledge of peak-turns beings, the lifeless being before him might be killed by an immensely powerful peak-turns being several turns/levels above it to leave its physical form intact and completely annihilate its will, spirit, and soul. Velvet mist Solanky moved closer to the body, which was seven trillion light-years tall as it sat cross-legged with its head facing downwards. At that instant, Solanky understood why the 30th zone was the largest, as the space he found himself in now was a hundred trillion light-years in diameter and volume. Making the space have the shape of a perfect sphere, this meant that there were several hidden mysteries of the 30th realm that awaited to be uncovered. Solanky transformed into his original body and let out his velvet world domain to enshroud the core formed by the body of the lifeless being. He formed seals with his hands and summoned his defying flames. He wanted to use this opportunity to refine the core of the being and strengthen his domain's power and elevate it to the level of the true peak turns. He understood that in order to achieve, he had to perfectly decode the secrets of this true peak-turn being's lifeless body. He increased his size to its optimum size, which was a hundred billion light-years tall, compared to the previous seven trillion light-years, as he looked small. Activating his observational technique, he deduced that the being before was a second peak-turn being with 2000 times the strength of a regular peak-turn being on the same level as it was. After analyzing the lifeless body, Solanky found out that the being still had its treasures stored on its body, although they were hidden in separate spaces. Solanky couldn't have noticed the hidden space if he hadn't activated his observational technique and, cautious as ever, sent a wisp of spiritually powered avatar into the space. The moment he entered the world, he discovered the world lacked the will and presence of the being; this only meant that the one responsible for killing this being was very cautious and extremely powerful. To be able to break the defenses and sense every will and consciousness mark on everything in this being's secret space in its body, one was required to be at least two levels above their opponent. Solanky's spiritually powered avatar appeared before the world, whose protective layer was shattered. He stepped through and saw several treasures suspended in the space. Amongst these treasures, only three were true peak-turn level treasures, with the rest being suitable for half-step peak-turn beings. The three true peak-turn treasures were a scimitar-like blade, a shield, and a blue net-like treasure, which Solanky instantly knew was a domain-assisting treasure. He carefully checked the treasures for marks left behind by the being, but he found none. This terrified him to the core, and he quickly understood why Supremo said he stood no chance against the true body of the levian progenitor. He sent a wisp of his spiritual power into these treasures, brandishing them with his spiritual life force. The weapons, which had remained dormant for countless years, now recognized him as their owner. Solanky was about to leave the space until something caught his attention in the distance. Solanky flew towards it and discovered that it was a message carved by the killer of this being on a stone tablet. The message was short, and it read, "This being full of life and power began to misuse his power and life lifeform to kill over a thousand half-step peak-turn beings of the forsaken realm during the war outside the wars of the beyond realm. He turned his back on the realm and allied with enemy forces, so I, Behan, had to take care of him. I used him to serve as a deterrent to other beings who wanted to do this in the future. I annihilated his spiritual power and will, surgically cutting every snippet of consciousness from his physical body, and with the beyond realm denying him reincarnation or reform. If you find this body, the treasures are yours to claim, but you need to not walk in his steps. He isn't the only being here, as he is one of twenty beings who rebelled or sided with the calamitous beings." After reading, Solanky turned back to leave, but before he could leave, he deliberately left behind two treasures at the half-step peak turns level behind to prevent other lucky, powerful beings from thinking that someone looted all the treasures. Compared to the hundreds of treasures at the half-step peak-turn level, these ones he left behind were nothing, and he knew that these treasures he kept would be of great use in the coming war of the forsaken realm. Erasing traces of his presence, he disappeared from the internals of the lifeless being. His spiritual avatar disappeared into the body of Solanky together with the treasures he had obtained. He sat down to absorb the remaining energies of the halo, but this time his spiritual body grew by 0.5 trillion light-years. The spiritual body now began to look exactly like his physical form. After absorbing the energies, he stood up, transformed into the velvet mist, and moved as per the information on the stone tablet. There were other beings at the true peak-turn level, lifeless in this space beneath the 30th zone. He moved for several light-years before he encountered the second corpse of another lifeless body of a peak-turn being. Without wasting much time, he entered the internal world of this being and found several precious herbs and pills. He was very elated because the others who thought he was doomed to die were the ones fighting over useless saint emperor-level treasures on the surface, while he was the one who benefited from this space. He visited all twenty corpses, and he had accumulated the most treasures and opportunities this time. The corpse he had seen belonged to a fifth-level peak-turn being, and the treasures of that being were mysteriously dismantled, leaving behind fragments of the old, glorious weapon. But the most important treasure he obtained from this fifth-turn lifeless body was two pairs of wings formed by the merger of the being's wings and a treasure. These pairs of wings, although damaged, could allow him escape whenever he faced a true peak-turn, being at the first or second turn.… After visiting these corpses, Solanky got to know that most beings at the peak-turn level, due to the great disparity in strength based on the origins of their lifeform, defaulted to the calamitous beings who had forbidden ways to slightly raise the base strength of their lifeform by several hundred times. That was why some of these lifeless corpses lost their sanity to have greater power and help them stand among the legendary beings. Solanky, looting treasures, returned to the surface of the 30th zone. Before he returned, he deliberately adjusted his power to 50% before he entered the space to convince the other beings he hadn't had it easy. The beings believed him because no other being had learned of the secrets within that space and lived to tell the story. One greedy saint emperor rushed towards Solanky to rob him of his treasures due to his weakened state. The others watched calmly as this being had 4.5 billion times the strength of an ISG, placing him among the top three strongest present. But before he could reach a hundred meters of Solanky, the space of a hundred thousand kilometers solidified and turned velvet. The beings present were all shocked, including the strongest among them, who was 5 billion times stronger than ISG. The strongest one frowned and said, "This guy is very unlucky to provoke an old monster. The moment he appeared, I was afraid that he won't survive this if he doesn't give it his all..." His words didn't even spread to the last person as the being attacking Solanky disintegrated at a rapid speed, and Solanky's power surged slightly. This turn of events shocked them to the very core, as a single exchange completely annihilated a being of that caliber. Among the shocked beings was one being, who was the most terrified, as she had already made an enemy of Solanky, and it was none other than the female officiator.
