WITH SKILLS THAT CAN BE UPGRADED INFINITELY, IF I'M INVINCIBLE, WHO IS?
Chapter 286: Demon Race! Nether Race!
Su Yu pondered slightly and said in a calm tone, "My True Intent of Thunder has now been upgraded to Level 10, 99.99%."
He did not mention his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent; this was his true trump card and could not be exposed lightly.
Even regarding the level of his True Intent of Thunder, he did not say that he had already reached Level 10 Completion.
Normally, even with the use of the Enlightenment Pagoda, it would be impossible to raise the True Intent of Thunderto Level 10 Completion so quickly.
After all, others could not use enlightenment points as extravagantly as Su Yu, nor did they possess a True Intentinheritance that they could carry with them.
"Level 10, 99.99%!"
Senior Meng suddenly stood up, an undisguisable look of excitement appearing on his aged face, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"Good! Wonderful! You little fellow really have surprised this old man."
Senior Meng stared at Su Yu with burning eyes, his tone filled with emotion, "Perhaps this is the result of accumulating a deep foundation and letting it burst forth."
"In a Newborn Civilization, without the Enlightenment Pagoda and enlightenment points, you were still able to raise the True Intent of Thunder to Level 9. Now that you have the Enlightenment Pagoda and enlightenment points, it is reasonable for your True Intent level to soar, but this old man didn't expect it to soar so quickly."
"With your current strength, you are probably second only to the very top geniuses in the Eternal Holy Lands. As long as you are given a little more time, catching up to them won't be difficult."
At this point, Senior Meng sighed softly.
"What a pity... time is still too tight. The Eternal Ancient Realm is about to open, and you no longer have more time to comprehend the True Intent of Thunder."
"Without the Enlightenment Pagoda in the Eternal Ancient Realm, your comprehension efficiency will plummet. Moreover, you also have to spend time hunting Ancient Beasts and searching for opportunities, so you probably won't have the chance to raise your True Intent of Thunderto Level 10 Completion in the short term."
Hearing this, the corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly into a confident arc, "It's not a big problem."
His tone was calm, yet it carried an unhurried confidence.
"Once I enter the Eternal Ancient Realm, I might just break through along the way. I feel that I am not far from breaking through that bottleneck. When that time comes, I might not necessarily fail to catch up to those top geniuses."
"Besides, there are countless opportunities in the Eternal Ancient Realm. Perhaps I will run into a great opportunity and my strength will skyrocket directly."
Senior Meng was briefly stunned upon seeing him like this, but then he burst into hearty laughter.
"You little fellow are quite confident. It's really good to be young."
After laughing, Senior Meng's expression gradually turned serious, and a touch of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
"Right, there is one more thing I need to remind you of."
Su Yu straightened his expression slightly.
Senior Meng said in a deep voice, "After entering the Eternal Ancient Realm, if you encounter other peerless geniuses from the Wuji Heavenly Domain, you can consider teaming up with them to explore together. This way, the probability of obtaining great opportunities will be higher, and it will also be safer."
"They should have already received information about you. When the time comes, you can just take out your identity token to prove your identity."
"The reason I'm asking you to team up with them is also because the geniuses of other Eternal Holy Lands might team up. If you encounter them alone, the risk will be extremely high."
"Particularly the Heavenly Demon Holy Mountain and the Xuanming Holy Palace, these two Eternal Holy Lands have long-standing grudges with our Wuji Heavenly Domain. If you meet their people in the Eternal Ancient Realm, they will absolutely show you no mercy."
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
He knew that in the Eternal Continent, the two Eternal Holy Lands of the Heavenly Demon Holy Mountain and the Xuanming Holy Palace bordered the Wuji Heavenly Domain.
Over time, a large amount of friction and conflict had accumulated between them.
If they met people from these two Eternal Holy Lands in the Eternal Ancient Realm, a life-and-death struggle would probably be unavoidable.
Furthermore, he knew very well in his heart that the conflict between the Wuji Heavenly Domain and these two Eternal Holy Lands was not just a dispute over territory, but also a struggle between races.
The Wuji Heavenly Domain was primarily dominated by the Human Race, and the same was true for the Beiyun Star Domain.
The three super civilizations of the Beiyun Star Domainwere all human, and even the overlord civilization of the Beiyun Star Domain was more than half human, with the rest being other races.
The Heavenly Demon Holy Mountain was primarily dominated by the Demon Race, while the Xuanming Holy Palace was mainly dominated by the Nether Race.
Both the Demon Race and the Nether Race were top-tier races, naturally possessing great strength.
In contrast, the Human Race was naturally weak and their racial grade was not high, but their population was massive, so there would always be some unbelievable monsters born among them.
Therefore, the Human Race actually had the most top-tier experts in the entire Eternal Continent.
The three Eternal Holy Lands of the Wuji Heavenly Domain, the Taichu Holy Land, and the Wushi Dao Domain were all primarily dominated by the Human Race.
Among them, the Wushi Dao Domain was the strongest, the Taichu Holy Land was the second strongest, and the Wuji Heavenly Domain's strength was considered the lowest.
Of course, no matter how weak an Eternal Holy Land was, it was still an Eternal Holy Land.
Although the Wuji Heavenly Domain ranked low among the Eternal Holy Lands, compared to other non-Eternal Holy Land forces, it was still an irresistible colossus.
"Please rest assured, Senior Meng, this junior understands," Su Yu said in a deep voice.
In fact, with his current true strength, even if many people teamed up, they would be no match for him.
After all, he already possessed fifth-turn peak combat power. It could be said that among the peerless geniuses entering the Eternal Ancient Realm this time, no one could withstand a single strike from him.
To him, the real threats were still the unknown dangers within the Eternal Ancient Realm, as well as the Ancient Beasts whose strength reached the sixth-turn.
This was also the reason why Su Yu was so eager to raise his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Level 10 Completion.
As long as he could raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Level 10 Completion, he would possess combat power at the threshold of the sixth-turn.
When that time came, even if he encountered an Ancient Beast with combat power at the threshold of the sixth-turn, he would still be able to put up a fight.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the Teleportation Plaza now. The others should all have arrived," Senior Meng smiled.
"Mm," Su Yu nodded.
Immediately after, Senior Meng and Su Yu's figures vanished directly from the spot.
A moment later, the two of them arrived in the air above a massive plaza.
Su Yu looked down and saw that except for him, everyone else had already arrived.
For this opening of the Eternal Ancient Realm, the Beiyun Star Domain had a total of 200 slots.
Apart from the 128 slots from the Civilization Arena, the remaining 72 slots were freely allocated by the three super forces of the Beiyun Star Domain.
Swoosh!
The Heavenly Thunder Spirit Wings on Su Yu's back flapped, and he landed directly on the plaza.
Quite a few people looked at Su Yu curiously. They had not participated in the Civilization Arena, so this was their first time seeing Su Yu in person.
If Senior Meng hadn't been standing in the void, they probably would have already started whispering among themselves.
"The Eternal Ancient Realm will open in about half an hour. For the remaining time, I will explain some precautions to you," Senior Meng's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Chapter 287: Nether Abyss!
Meanwhile, deep within the Eternal Continent.
In a pitch-black abyss where even light could not penetrate, countless strands of abyss power intertwined like venomous snakes.
This was one of the permanent strongholds established by the abyss after invading the Heavens and Myriad Realms, named the Nether Abyss.
Outside the Nether Abyss lay the largest Abyss Battlefieldon the Eternal Continent, the Nether Battlefield.
In this battlefield, there were over a dozen war fortresses, and each war fortress was guarded by an Eternal Holy Land.
This was the main battlefield where the Heavens and Myriad Realms resisted the abyss, with countless powerful beings guarding it to tightly seal the abyss army within the Nether Abyss.
Deepest within the Nether Abyss, inside a massive hall built from pitch-black bones, dozens of figures sat on both sides, every single aura vast and deep like an ocean, unfathomable.
These dozens of figures were all top powerhouses in the Nether Abyss.
"Everyone, the opportune moment has arrived."
A pitch-black figure sitting at the head slowly spoke, his voice deep.
He was the ruler of the Nether Abyss, the Black Flame Demon General.
The strength of the Black Flame Demon General had already reached the peak of Heavenly God, and it could be said that unless a God King appeared, no one could defeat him.
However, generally speaking, God Kings would not enter the Abyss Battlefield, and even Heavenly Gods would not easily make a move, otherwise it would easily fast-forward directly to the final decisive battle.
Right now, neither side was ready for the final decisive battle, and they were simply continuously depleting each other's active forces through the Abyss Battlefield.
"The Eternal Ancient Realm opens once every hundred years. Previously, we were always unable to infiltrate it, but this time... we have found a loophole."
The Black Flame Demon General raised his hand, and a pitch-black light condensed in the void, transforming into a spatial map of the Eternal Ancient Realm.
On the map, at an extremely covert location, a dark red light point flickered uncertainly.
"This is the place where the spatial barrier of the Eternal Ancient Realm is the weakest. As long as we join hands the moment the Eternal Ancient Realm opens and urge the Nether Divine Thorn, we can briefly break through this spatial barrier."
"At that time, it will be the end of those peerless geniuses from the Heavens and Myriad Realms."
Low discussions immediately sounded in the hall.
"Lord Heiyan, can we directly send high-order demons inside?"
An Abyss Demon covered in scales asked in a deep voice.
The Black Flame Demon General shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Although we cannot directly send high-order demons inside, our Demon clan has a profound foundation. Third-turn demons with ancient bloodlines can completely rival the peak Fifth-turn Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms."
"I have already transmitted a message to the higher-ups in advance and mobilized 10,000 third-turn demons with powerful bloodlines, among which 10 possess ancient bloodlines."
"Their task is only one: to hunt down all the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms who enter the Eternal Ancient Realm, leaving none alive."
"This time, we will directly cut off the generation of peerless geniuses in the Heavens and Myriad Realms, causing the Heavens and Myriad Realms to never recover."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment, and then a series of low laughter erupted.
"As long as we can kill all the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms entering the Eternal Ancient Realm this time, the number of powerful experts in the Heavens and Myriad Realms in the future will definitely plummet."
"Indeed, as long as the strong of the Heavens and Myriad Realms experience a generational fault, our opportunity will come. By then, we will directly initiate the final decisive battle and turn the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms into abyss territory."
"I can't wait to see all the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms perish in the Eternal Ancient Realm."
The Black Flame Demon General slightly nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing through his pitch-black eyes.
"You all arrange this first and make everyone get ready, lest the Heavens and Myriad Realms be driven to desperation and launch a surprise attack on us."
"Yes!"
Dozens of figures responded in unison.
A heaven-shaking killing trap targeting the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms quietly unfolded like this.
In an independent space deep within the Nether Abyss.
This was a huge dark purple wasteland where a full ten thousand Abyss Demons gathered together, their majestic auras intertwining and condensing the air.
Those who could come here were all peerless talents meticulously selected by various abyss factions, possessing powerful demon bloodlines.
Some had raging black flames wrapped around their bodies, while others had endless stars reflected in the depths of their pupils.
Some just stood quietly there, resembling an abyss spear, as if they were about to pierce this space at any moment.
They were conversing, their voices rolling across the wasteland like thunder.
"Chiyuan, shall we have a competition to see who gains more battle merits this time?"
A slender demon wrapped in deep blue ice flames walked in stride toward a burly demon covered in dark red scales.
Chiyuan slowly turned around, his dark red scales shimmering with a metallic cold glow under the dim light of the wasteland.
Looking at the newcomer, he said in a deep voice, "Compare battle merits? Hanjin, have you forgotten how miserably you lost last time?"
Hanjin grinned, "Last time was last time, Chiyuan. Just tell me whether you dare to compete with me this time or not."
"The stake doesn't need to be too big. Just like last time, let's bet a drop of Abyss True Blood."
Hanjin looked at Chiyuan, his eyes filled with confidence.
According to the information he had gathered, the strongest strength of those so-called peerless geniuses in the Heavens and Myriad Realms was only around the high-order Fifth-turn, and they had no ability to fight back in front of him at all.
Their Abyss Demon clan had a huge bloodline advantage.
At low ranks, it could be said that they completely crushed those peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
For him, as long as his luck wasn't too bad and he didn't constantly fail to run into those peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, his battle merits would definitely not be few.
Besides, his luck had always been pretty good, and this time there was a high probability that he could win back what he lost last time.
Just as Chiyuan was about to speak, a lazy voice sounded.
"How about counting me in? That way, whoever wins can get two drops of Abyss True Blood. Anyway, it's just a side matter, and an extra person makes it livelier."
The speaker was a massive Abyss Demon with raging black flames burning around his body.
"Molan? You want in too? I don't have much of an opinion, it just depends on what Chiyuan says."
Hanjin smiled.
Anyway, an extra person wouldn't affect anything.
Everyone's strength was about the same, and they were all demons with ancient bloodlines.
Who could ultimately take these two drops of Abyss True Blood mainly depended on luck.
"It seems you guys think your luck will be very good. That group of peerless geniuses from the Heavens and Myriad Realms poses no threat to us at all. If we want to gain higher battle merits, we can only look at our respective luck, which doesn't have much to do with strength."
Chiyuan shook his head and said.
"You can't put it that way. Luck is also a part of strength."
Molan smiled and said, "Whoever has better luck naturally has stronger strength."
Hanjin nodded and said, "Right, right, right! Molan is right. Luck is also a part of strength, but my luck has always been a little better than yours."
Chiyuan calmly said, "Alright, then let's make an abyss contract. I'd like to see whose luck will be better."
Soon, the three of them made an abyss contract, and they were all full of confidence in winning this gambling duel.
After all, being able to possess the strength of a peak Fifth-turn Professional of the Heavens and Myriad Realms while at the third turn meant their fortune was already extremely strong.
For this kind of game dominated by luck, they never felt they would lose to anyone.
Half an hour later.
Beiyun Star Domain, Eternal Ancient City, inside a huge square.
Senior Meng's voice was like a grand bell, echoing in everyone's ears and explaining all the precautions in the Eternal Ancient Realm one by one.
"In the Eternal Ancient Realm, death is true death; there is no chance of resurrection."
"Therefore, after you enter, the most important thing is to first collect 1000 Ancient Realm points to obtain the qualification to leave the Eternal Ancient Realm, and then go explore deeper ancient realm spaces."
"You are all peerless geniuses in the Beiyun Star Domainwith infinite possibilities in the future. No matter how good opportunities are, they cannot compare to your lives. I hope you can all return alive."
As his words fell, a huge spatial vortex appeared in the void, and it was continuously expanding.
"The Eternal Ancient Realm is about to open. Everyone get ready. As soon as the spatial vortex stabilizes, enter it immediately."
Senior Meng's voice echoed across the square.
A moment later, the spatial vortex stopped expanding and had already stabilized.
"Everyone hurry up and enter immediately! The spatial vortex will only last for 30 seconds!"
Senior Meng shouted loudly.
Su Yu took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.
Without any hesitation, the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Wings behind him fluttered, directly transforming into a stream of light and rushing into the spatial vortex first.
Behind him, more than a hundred figures followed closely, entering in a single file.
At the same time, in the Eternal Ancient Cities of the major star domains of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, as well as in the headquarters of the major Eternal Holy Lands on the Eternal Continent, similar scenes were simultaneously playing out.
Wuji Heavenly Domain Headquarters.
Hundreds of peerless geniuses with astonishing auras stepped into the spatial vortex.
The leader wore golden battle armor, and his aura was as steady as a mountain.
Taichu Holy Land Headquarters.
A group of peerless geniuses wearing archaic robes filed into the spatial vortex.
The leader held an ancient sword, and his sword intent soared into the sky.
Wushi Dao Domain Headquarters.
An ordinary-looking youth in grey clothes rushed into the spatial vortex first.
Behind him, over a hundred peerless geniuses with terrifying auras followed closely.
Heavenly Demon Holy Mountain Headquarters.
A tall man radiating dense demonic qi and a pretty woman full of a charming aura rushed into the spatial vortex simultaneously.
Behind them, over a hundred peerless geniuses radiating dense demonic qi filed in.
Xuanming Holy Palace Headquarters.
The leader was a man with a paper-white complexion holding a folding fan, looking frail.
The moment the spatial vortex appeared, he turned into a stream of light and rushed into it.
Behind him was another figure shrouded in a black cloak, whose speed was not inferior at all.
Following closely, over a hundred peerless geniuses radiating dense nether qi also rushed into the spatial vortex one after another.
At this moment, almost all the Third-turn peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms gathered in the Eternal Ancient Realm.
The Eternal Ancient Realm only opened once every hundred years.
Many people could even break through to Third-turn Professionals more than a decade ago, but they still stayed here precisely to enter the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Meanwhile, in that independent space deep within the Nether Abyss.
The Black Flame Demon General and dozens of top powerhouses exuding terrifying auras appeared here simultaneously.
Every single one of their auras was like an abyss volcano about to erupt at any time, causing the entire space to tremble.
"Greetings, Lord Black Flame Demon General!"
"Greetings, Lord Commanders!"
Ten thousand Abyss Demon geniuses knelt in unison, their voices exploding like thunder.
Overlooking from high above, the Black Flame Demon General swept his eyes—burning with pitch-black demonic flames—across these ten thousand demon geniuses, a satisfied arc hooking at the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad."
His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered every demon's ears, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
"You are all peerless talents meticulously selected by our Demon clan. Today is the time for you to make a name for yourselves in the Heavens and Myriad Realms."
"Your goal is only one: to slaughter all the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms who have entered the Eternal Ancient Realm this time, leaving none alive."
The Black Flame Demon General didn't waste any more words.
He raised his right hand, and in his palm, a short thorn that was pitch-black throughout and exuded a cold luster slowly emerged.
That short thorn was only about a foot long, yet it seemed to carry the power of the entire Nether Abyss.
The moment it appeared, it caused the space within a radius of a hundred miles to begin twisting violently, and pitch-black cracks spread out in the void like spider webs.
"Nether Divine Thorn!"
Chiyuan's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
The Nether Divine Thorn was the foundation of the Nether Abyss.
Precisely because of it, the Demon clan could establish this permanent stronghold in the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Whoever could wield the Nether Divine Thorn could mobilize the power of the entire Nether Abyss.
The Black Flame Demon General abruptly stabbed the Nether Divine Thorn into the void, and the abyss power within his body poured in like a torrent.
The dozens of top powerhouses behind him also did not hesitate, simultaneously injecting their respective abyss power into it.
Hum!
A spatial vortex with a diameter of about one meter slowly appeared and then continuously expanded.
After a few breaths, the diameter of the spatial vortex had already expanded to over a hundred meters.
"The passage to the Eternal Ancient Realm is open, enter quickly!"
The Black Flame Demon General maintained the spatial vortex, his voice as cold as iron.
"Yes!"
Ten thousand demons roared in unison, their voices almost shattering this independent space.
The next moment, ten thousand Abyss Demons rushed into that spatial vortex like a breached black torrent, scrambling to be first.
There was no fear in their eyes, only excitement and bloodlust that were almost overflowing.
For Abyss Demons, hunting down the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms not only granted battle merits but also allowed them to devour their bloodlines to strengthen their own demon bloodlines.
If they devoured enough peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, it might even allow their demon bloodlines to advance.
Even ancient bloodlines had the possibility of advancing into stronger primordial bloodlines.
This was a feast of slaughter and an opportunity for transformation.
Before long, all ten thousand Abyss Demons had entered the spatial vortex.
On the dark purple wasteland, the Black Flame Demon General stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the slowly shrinking spatial rift, a deep meaning flashing through his pitch-black eyes.
"Peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, enjoy this great gift properly."
Chapter 288: Demon Extermination Mission!
Eternal Ancient Realm.
On the vast and boundless land of the Ancient Realm, as soon as Su Yu stepped into this mysterious space, a wave of ancient aura completely different from the outside world rushed over him.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. To read Taiwan novels, go to Taiwan Novel Network. Read as you please.]
He looked around; in the distance, mountains rolled, and towering ancient giant trees rose from the ground.
The roars of giant beasts faintly echoed from afar, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Su Yu's ears.
[Welcome to the Eternal Ancient Realm. For detailed information, please open the Ancient Realm Panel to view.]
With a thought, Su Yu opened the Ancient Realm Panel, and his basic information was the first thing that caught his eye.
[Nickname: Yu Huang]
[Affiliated Faction: Wuji Heavenly Domain]
[ancient domain points: 0]
The content in the basic information was very simple. Su Yu took a glance and stopped paying attention to it, directly checking the introduction to the Ancient Realm rules.
Although Senior Meng had already explained all the precautions and detailed information, he still had to read it himself in case the Ancient Realm rules had changed.
"Fortunately, the Ancient Realm rules haven't changed at all." Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Aside from the basic information and the introduction to the Ancient Realm rules, there were only two leaderboards on the Ancient Realm Panel.
One was the personal leaderboard, and the other was the faction leaderboard.
The rules of the personal leaderboard were very simple: rankings were based on the ancient domain pointsobtained by each person. If the points were the same, they would be sorted in chronological order of achievement.
The personal leaderboard only recorded the top one thousand. Any trialist who could make it onto the personal leaderboard would receive an additional reward based on their ranking after the Eternal Ancient Realm ended.
As for the faction leaderboard, rankings were based on the sum of the ancient domain points of all trialists under that faction. If the points were the same, they would be sorted in chronological order of achievement.
It was worth mentioning that only the names of the major Eternal Holy Lands were on the faction leaderboard; other factions would be subordinated to the major Eternal Holy Lands.
For example, all trialists from the Beiyun Star Domainwould have their acquired ancient domain points credited to the Wuji Heavenly Domain.
After the Eternal Ancient Realm ended, all Eternal Holy Lands would receive corresponding rewards based on their rankings.
This reward had nothing to do with individuals and was only related to factions.
However, generally speaking, those who made significant contributions would also receive additional rewards from their respective factions after leaving the Eternal Ancient Realm.
After all, effort brings reward.
The Eternal Holy Lands also needed to use this to motivate their members to continue contributing to their respective factions.
Closing the Ancient Realm Panel, Su Yu thought about his next plans.
"First, I'll find a place to enter closed-door cultivation and raise my Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 completion." Su Yu quickly made his decision.
As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the woodcutting.
He estimated that it would take him at most two weeks to raise his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 completion. By then, he would possess combat strength at the threshold of the sixth transition.
Possessing combat strength at the threshold of the sixth transition in the Eternal Ancient Realm meant that the vast majority of dangers would no longer be dangerous to him.
The stronger one was, the greater the probability of obtaining great opportunities would naturally be.
After all, he dared to go to dangerous places where others did not, and he could obtain rare treasures of heaven and earth that others could not.
Usually, the scarcer the natural treasure, the more powerful the Ancient Beast guarding it would be.
Trialists with insufficient strength simply could not obtain those extremely rare natural treasures.
Even if they teamed up, it would be impossible to defeat those Ancient Beasts with strength at the threshold of the sixth transition.
Once Su Yu possessed strength at the threshold of the sixth transition, he would have the opportunity to obtain these extremely rare natural treasures.
Over so many years, the Eternal Ancient Realm had accumulated countless natural treasures, all of which were his opportunities.
Moreover, to obtain ancient domain points, besides killing Ancient Beasts, collecting natural treasures or exploring Ancient Realm ruins could also earn points.
The stronger one was, the higher the efficiency of obtaining ancient domain points would naturally be.
For Su Yu, he could not stay in the Eternal Ancient Realmfor too long. After all, his Blood God Trial IV was not yet complete.
Su Yu estimated that he could stay in the Eternal Ancient Realm for at most a little over nine months.
In the remaining two months or so, he still had to promote to the fifth transition, and then head to the Abyss Battlefield to raise his Demon Hunter rank to King One-Star, completing Blood God Trial IV.
However, if he could raise his strength to the threshold of the sixth transition, let alone nine months, he might be able to obtain more ancient domain points in one month than others did in a year.
Given nine months, he could absolutely lead everyone by a landslide. Even if he left the Eternal Ancient Realm early, it would not affect his final ranking reward.
The reward settlement of the Eternal Ancient Realmwould not become void because a trialist left early.
As long as one was still on the leaderboard when the Eternal Ancient Realm ended, they would receive the rewards of the Eternal Ancient Realm regardless of where they were.
Of course, even if he could not obtain the final ranking reward of the Eternal Ancient Realm, Su Yu would not regret it.
In his eyes, the final ranking reward of the Eternal Ancient Realm was definitely not as important as the Blood God Trial. He would absolutely not allow the Blood God Trial to fail; he knew very well which was more important.
Therefore, he had to leave the Eternal Ancient Realm early.
He had to set aside time to complete his fourth transitionand fifth transition class advancement quests.
Only by promoting to the fifth transition could one enter the Eternal Continent, and only by entering the Eternal Continent could one enter the Abyss Battlefield.
Only in the Abyss Battlefield could he kill enough Abyss Demons to raise his Demon Hunter rank to King One-Star.
Other than that, he could think of no other way to raise his Demon Hunter rank to King One-Star.
Just as Su Yu was about to find a place to enter closed-door cultivation, an Ancient Beast with four hooves and wings appeared in his line of sight.
Roar!
The Ancient Beast with four hooves and wings let out a world-shaking roar and lunged at Su Yu.
"Perfect timing. I was just wanting to test the power of the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent." A smile played on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
Swish!
Su Yu drew his shadow fang into a full moon, and a dark-red Thunder Arrow instantly shot through the air.
Bang!
In an instant, that Ancient Beast with four hooves and wings exploded with a bang, turning into countless fragments of flesh and blood.
[Congratulations on killing a fifth transition mid-tier Ancient Beast. You have obtained: fifth transition mid-tier Ancient Beast Core +1, ancient domain points +100, Skill Points +9, Infinite Points +7.]
"As expected, killing Ancient Beasts yields Infinite Points." Su Yu was all smiles.
Although he could not use Infinite Points yet, as long as he could acquire them, it was fine.
In the future, once he promoted to the fifth transition, he could immediately use Infinite Points to deduce the True Intent skill most suitable for him.
After killing the Ancient Beast, Su Yu flew directly toward the mountains not far away.
For him at the moment, raising his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 completion was the highest priority.
Soon, he arrived before a mountain cliff.
Boom!
With a thought, he blasted a crude cave directly into the cliffside.
"Fortunately, I have the enlightenment futon and the enlightenment source crystal. Otherwise, even if I spent half a year in closed-door cultivation, I might not be able to raise my Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 completion." A smile played on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
It was great to have portable enlightenment treasures and True Intent inheritances; no matter where he was, he could enter closed-door cultivation at any time.
Just as Su Yu was preparing to take out the enlightenment futon, a system notification sounded in his ears.
[The spatial barrier of the Eternal Ancient Realm has been eroded by external forces, and Abyss Demons have taken the opportunity to sneak into the Eternal Ancient Realm. An Emergency Demon Extermination Mission is now being issued to all trialists of the Heavens and Myriad Realms!]
Chapter 289 Demon Extermination Leaderboard!
"Abyss Demons? Sneaking into the Eternal Ancient Realm?"
"Demon Extermination Mission?"
Hearing the system prompt ringing in his ears, Su Yu not only did not show any look of panic, but instead, a flash of light crossed his eyes.
"For me, this is a good thing."
The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly as he quickly calculated in his heart.
Originally, he had planned to leave the Eternal Ancient Realm early, then advance to Tier 5, head to the Abyss Battlefield to kill Abyss Demons, and raise his Demon Hunter rank.
As a result, these Abyss Demons delivered themselves right to his doorstep now, and it even came with an urgent Demon Extermination Mission.
This was simply a pie falling from the sky.
Su Yu's thought stirred immediately, and he reopened the Ancient Realm panel.
Sure enough, on the Ancient Realm panel, besides the previous basic information, introduction to Ancient Realm rules, personal leaderboard, and faction leaderboard, two brand-new sections had appeared.
One was the Demon Extermination Mission introduction, and the other was the Demon Extermination Leaderboard.
Su Yu first clicked on the Demon Extermination Mission introduction, and a piece of detailed information floated up before his eyes.
[Demon Extermination Mission Introduction: The spatial barrier of the Eternal Ancient Realm has been eroded by external forces, and Abyss Demons have taken the opportunity to sneak into the Eternal Ancient Realm. Trial participants of the Heavens and Myriad Realms can kill Abyss Demons to obtain Demon Extermination points.
Demon Extermination points are issued according to the strength of the killed Abyss Demons. The stronger the strength of the Abyss Demons, the more Demon Extermination points are obtained.]
[Number of surviving Abyss Demons currently in the Eternal Ancient Realm: 10,000.]
[Demon Extermination points will be calculated separately and will not be confused with Ancient Realm points. After the Demon Extermination points reach a certain amount, the Demon Extermination Mall will be unlocked, and rare resources can be exchanged in the Demon Extermination Mall.]
[The Demon Extermination Mission will continue until all Abyss Demons are killed, or the Eternal Ancient Realmends.]
[Note: The Abyss Demons sneaking in this time are extremely strong, with the weakest having the strength of Tier 5 intermediate. Among them, there are even 10 Abyss Demons with ancient bloodlines, whose strength is as high as Tier 5 peak. Please respond with caution, trial participants.]
"The strength of these Abyss Demons sneaking into the Eternal Ancient Realm seems a bit strong." Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
Although the number of Abyss Demons was not large, only 10,000, their strength was extremely strong.
You must know that the weakest among them had the strength of Tier 5 intermediate. For Professionals in the Heavens and Myriad Realms, being able to possess the strength of Tier 5 intermediate at Tier 3 was already the top genius of major star fields.
For Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, wanting to possess the strength of Tier 5 intermediate at Tier 3 required elevating the True Intent level to levels 9-10.
Although in terms of quantity, among the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms entering the Eternal Ancient Realm this time, those with Tier 5 intermediate strength should be no less than 10,000 people.
However, Tier 5 intermediate was merely the weakest strength among these Abyss Demons sneaking into the Eternal Ancient Realm.
They had 10 Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength, and an unknown number of Abyss Demons with Tier 5 advanced strength. To the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, this was definitely a huge challenge.
Especially those 10 Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength; apart from Su Yu, everyone else was most likely not their opponents.
Moreover, Su Yu's current strength was only at Tier 5 peak. He estimated that at most he could only defeat these 10 Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength, and wanting to kill them was extremely difficult.
If his luck was slightly worse and he encountered several Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength, even he could only flee in panic.
"It seems that now it is even more necessary to upgrade the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 perfection before coming out of seclusion." A flash of sharp light crossed Su Yu's eyes.
As long as he could upgrade the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 perfection, he could possess the strength of the Tier 6 threshold.
By then, even if 10 Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength joined forces, they would not be his opponents.
The gap between the Tier 6 threshold and Tier 5 peak was just this terrifying.
"I wonder if killing these 10 Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength can raise my Demon Hunter rank to King 1-Star." Su Yu held some anticipation in his heart.
Killing Abyss Demons with Tier 5 peak strength all the same, whether they possessed powerful bloodlines naturally made a difference in the improvement of the Demon Hunter rank progress value.
Abyss Demons with powerful bloodlines had greater potential and greater threat, and killing them would definitely yield more Demon Hunter rank progress value.
Su Yu felt that he should have a huge probability of directly raising his Demon Hunter rank to King 1-Star within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
By then, he could directly complete the Blood God Trial IV. For him, this was definitely a heaven-sent good thing.
Not wasting the time of the Eternal Ancient Realm and also being able to complete the Blood God Trial IV, this was simply the best of both worlds.
Moreover, the Demon Extermination points obtained from killing Abyss Demons could also be used to exchange for rare resources by then.
This was completely a triple win, and Su Yu directly won three times.
Afterwards, Su Yu closed the Demon Extermination Mission section and opened the Demon Extermination Leaderboard.
In the Demon Extermination Mission introduction section, he did not see any information related to the Demon Extermination Leaderboard.
However, since there was a leaderboard, there was a high probability that there would be corresponding rewards. Regarding this point, Su Yu believed that the rules of the Eternal Ancient Realm would not be so stingy.
Soon, Su Yu obtained the information he wanted on the Demon Extermination Leaderboard.
Just like the personal leaderboard, the Demon Extermination Leaderboard only recorded the top 1,000, sorted according to the height of the Demon Extermination points, with identical points sorted by the time of achievement.
When all Abyss Demons were killed, or after the Eternal Ancient Realm ended, all trial participants who made it onto the Demon Extermination Leaderboard could receive an extra reward according to their final ranking.
At the same time, it was specially mentioned above that if the first place on the Demon Extermination Leaderboard had an extra 50% more Demon Extermination points than the second place, they could also obtain an additional exclusive reward.
Equivalent to saying that if the first place on the Demon Extermination Leaderboard had an extra 50% more points than the second place, they could obtain a total of two rewards.
"First place on the Demon Extermination Leaderboard, I'm taking it for sure." Su Yu licked his lips.
Whether it was Ancient Realm points or Demon Extermination points, as long as they were points, he wanted them all.
What he lacked most right now was time. As long as he was given another week or two, he could upgrade the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 perfection.
By then, no matter how strong the Abyss Demons were, they could only become his defeated opponents.
"Seclusion! Upgrade the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 perfection as soon as possible!"
Su Yu withdrew his gaze, closed the Ancient Realm panel, directly took out the enlightenment futon and the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent inheritance booklet from his backpack, and sat cross-legged.
Afterwards, in one breath, he used 40 enlightenment points, sinking most of his consciousness into the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent inheritance booklet.
Leaving only a wisp of consciousness to monitor the surroundings at all times to prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack.
Chapter 290: Winds and Clouds Surge!
After the Eternal Ancient Realm officially opened, a huge viewing space was also opened up within the Eternal Realm.
In the viewing space, dense figures gathered here.
They were all elders or senior elders of the major Eternal Holy Lands.
At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on the huge light screen in the void.
On the light screen, two leaderboards were displayed side by side.
On the left was the personal points leaderboard, and on the right was the faction points leaderboard.
However, the personal points leaderboard here was different from the one seen by the challengers in the Eternal Ancient Realm; this one would display all challengers.
These elders of the Eternal Holy Lands were generally the branch heads of the major star domains.
They came here mainly to observe the personal points ranking of the challengers in the branches they were responsible for.
After the Eternal Ancient Realm ended, the headquarters of the major Eternal Holy Lands would compile and rank them in units of star domain branches, obtaining the final ranking of each star domain branch.
The final ranking of the star domain branches would affect their contribution rewards; the higher the ranking, the higher the contribution rewards they would obtain.
"Look, whose luck is this good? To actually obtain 100 Ancient Realm points right upon entering, could it be that they picked up a heaven and earth rare treasure?"
"Yu Huang? From the Beiyun Star Domain branch of the Wuji Heavenly Domain, interesting. I didn't expect a Professional from a star domain branch to actually seize first place on the personal points leaderboard."
"It's just starting now, he's just lucky, he will soon be surpassed by others."
"Luck is also a part of strength, right? To be able to obtain 100 Ancient Realm points, he probably picked up a divine-grade heaven and earth rare treasure. This luck is really not bad."
"Normally, wanting to obtain 100 Ancient Realm points requires killing at least 10 early fifth-turn Ancient Beasts, or 1 mid-fifth-turn Ancient Beast. For a branch Professional, this difficulty is not low at all."
"The kid from the Beiyun Star Domain really has good luck; he actually stole the limelight right at the start."
The discussions rose and fell one after another, mainly because the Eternal Ancient Realm had just opened, and someone had already obtained 100 Ancient Realm points, directly taking first place. It was simply too eye-catching.
However, they also knew that this was just a flash in the pan and wasn't worth paying too much attention to.
Hum!
Suddenly, the light screen shook violently, and its area directly increased by half.
A brand-new leaderboard appeared out of thin air on the light screen, with the six characters 'Demon-Extermination Points Leaderboard' impressively written on it.
At the same time, a flash of crimson prompt flashed across the center of the light screen.
[The spatial barrier of the Eternal Ancient Realm has been eroded by external forces, and Abyss Demons have taken the opportunity to sneak into the Eternal Ancient Realm. An emergency demon-extermination mission is now issued to the challengers of the Heavens and Myriad Realms!]
Immediately after, below the Demon-Extermination Points Leaderboard, another section called 'Demon-Extermination Mission Introduction' appeared.
In an instant, the entire viewing space fell into dead silence.
"Abyss... Demons?"
"How could the spatial barrier of the Eternal Ancient Realm be eroded? For tens of thousands of years, this has never happened before."
"10,000 Abyss Demons sneaked into the Eternal Ancient Realm? The weakest have the strength of mid fifth-turn? There are also 10 Abyss Demons with ancient bloodlines whose strength reaches peak fifth-turn?"
Swish!
The entire viewing space instantly exploded into an uproar.
"Even the top-tier Third-turn Professionals of the headquarters cannot defeat Abyss Demons whose strength reaches peak fifth-turn. What should be done about this?"
"The Professional with the strongest strength in my branch is only at mid fifth-turn. They might not even be able to beat the weakest Abyss Demon. I hope they can return safely."
"If the top-tier Third-turn Professionals from the headquarters of the major Eternal Holy Lands join forces, there should still be a chance to defeat them."
"The strength of these Abyss Demons is so strong, won't the great fortunes in the Eternal Ancient Realm all be taken away by them?"
The expressions of the elders from the major star domain branches all became extremely ugly.
Most of the challengers in their branches had the strength of early fifth-turn, and very few possessed mid fifth-turn strength.
Facing Abyss Demons whose weakest strength was mid fifth-turn, this gap was simply worlds apart.
...
"Abyss Demons... actually sneaked into the Eternal Ancient Realm..."
In a corner of the viewing space, Senior Meng muttered to himself, a trace of worry flashing through his aged eyes.
The moment before, he was still excited about Su Yuclimbing to first place on the personal points leaderboard, but the next moment, this crimson prompt directly caused his heart to sink to the bottom of the valley.
Senior Meng took a deep breath and thought to himself: "Given Yu Huang's current strength, facing mid-fifth-turn Abyss Demons shouldn't bring too much pressure."
"As long as he doesn't run into Abyss Demons with high fifth-turn strength or even peak fifth-turn strength, there shouldn't be any danger to his life."
He knew Su Yu's potential very well; it was completely no weaker than the top-tier peerless geniuses of the headquarters.
Unfortunately, the time given to Su Yu was still too little.
If he were given a little more time to elevate the True Intent of Thunder to level-ten perfection, it would be much safer.
Even facing high fifth-turn Abyss Demons, he would have the power to fight a battle.
As long as he didn't encounter those 10 Abyss Demonswith peak fifth-turn strength, there basically wouldn't be too much danger.
"Forget it, as long as he can return alive, it will be fine." Senior Meng prayed silently in his heart.
He had managed with great difficulty to unearth such a peerless genius; he must not let him prematurely perish before growing up.
As long as Su Yu could return alive, there was a high probability in the future that he could become a peerless Divine Lord, or even a True God. The benefits he could obtain by then would definitely not be few.
...
In the Eternal Ancient Realm.
When the system prompt of the Abyss Demons sneaking in sounded, the vast majority of challengers were stunned.
"What? The Abyss Demons have sneaked in?"
"The weakest have the strength of mid fifth-turn, what kind of joke is this?"
In a dense ancient forest, several challengers gathered together with pale faces.
"We only have the strength of early fifth-turn. Running into mid-fifth-turn Abyss Demons, isn't that just courting death?" A young challenger's voice was trembling.
"Don't panic!" A leading man forced composure: "There are so many spaces in the Eternal Ancient Realm, we might not necessarily run into the Abyss Demons that sneaked into it."
"Next, as long as we find more teammates and act together, if we encounter a solitary Abyss Demon, maybe we can even directly counter-kill."
"Right! The most urgent thing right now is to find a few more teammates, or even go join teams that possess mid fifth-turn or even high fifth-turn strength!" Another person quickly said: "Fighting alone is a dead end."
As he spoke, he quickly took out his identity token from his backpack.
Hum!
The token vibrated slightly, and a faint light flickered.
"I sense it, there are still two members of my Qingyun Palace in this space." Joy flashed in his eyes: "Let's go, hurry up and rendezvous!"
"Alright, let's go! Let's rendezvous quickly first! Next, all challengers must cast aside previous ill will and unite before there is a chance to survive."
Similar scenes were being staged in various spaces of the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Facing the pressure from the Abyss Demons, they had to join forces with other challengers to fight the enemy. Otherwise, there would only be a dead end.
After all, the advantages of Abyss Demons at low tiers were simply too huge; their strength far exceeded Professionals of the same tier.
Chapter 291: Rank 6 Threshold Combat Power!
In a space within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
"Is this the Eternal Ancient Realm?" Chiyuan sized up his surroundings, a smile playing on his lips.
He had heard of this mysterious trial ground of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, but he never expected that he would one day enter it himself.
"However, I don't seem to sense anyone else's presence here," Chiyuan thought aloud.
After entering the Eternal Ancient Realm, everyone would randomly appear in different locations.
If they entered through the same entrance, there was a certain probability that they would appear in the same space, or even directly together.
If they entered through different entrances, they would definitely be in different spaces.
Although their group of ten thousand Abyss Demons had all entered through the same entrance, they didn't seem to have appeared in the same space. Perhaps the Eternal Ancient Realm was targeting them.
However, since they were not natives of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, it was normal for the Eternal Ancient Realm to target them.
Although the Eternal Ancient Realm could not directly attack them, it was probably still possible for it to play some small tricks.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter even if the Eternal Ancient Realm targets me. In any case, I am practically an invincible existence here."
"It's said that there are countless opportunities in the Eternal Ancient Realm. Aside from hunting down the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, the opportunities here are also not to be missed." Chiyuan's eyes were filled with excitement.
"First, I'll hunt Ancient Beasts to obtain ancient beast crystal cores, then enter deeper spaces to hunt the peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms and harvest the opportunities in the Eternal Ancient Realm."
Chiyuan then picked a random direction and directly transformed into a streak of crimson light, sweeping away.
...
In another space within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
An ordinary-looking youth in grey robes stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking ahead.
This person was named Feng Yu, and he came from the headquarters of the Wushi Dao Domain. He was universally recognized as the number one Rank 3 genius of the current generation in the Wushi Dao Domain. His strength had already reached high-tier Rank 5, and he was not far from the peak of Rank 5.
"Abyss Demons?"
He spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of panic in his tone, but rather a trace of excitement.
"Interesting."
An azure spear appeared in Feng Yu's hand. The spear trembled, and a terrifying aura surged into the sky.
"So what if they are Abyss Demons with peak Rank 5 strength? Give me some time, and sooner or later, I will slay you all beneath my spear."
What he had comprehended was the Feng Shui Fusion True Intent, which had currently reached Level 8, 99.99%.
As long as he could obtain some opportunities in the Eternal Ancient Realm to raise his Feng Shui Fusion True Intent to Level 9, he would be able to possess peak Rank 5 strength.
At that time, even if he faced an Abyss Demon with peak Rank 5 strength, he would have nothing to fear.
Had it not been to wait for the opening of the Eternal Ancient Realm, he would have already broken through more than a decade ago.
This infiltration by the Abyss Demons was both a crisis and an opportunity.
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to make his foundation even deeper, which would also increase his chances of ascending to a True God in the future.
...
In a frozen tundra space covered in ice within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
"Abyss Demons! Good! Well met!"
His name was Qin Zhantian, and he came from the headquarters of the Wuji Heavenly Domain, renowned for his fierce and domineering style.
"First, I'll hunt low-tier Abyss Demons to gather Demon Extermination Points. Perhaps I can exchange them for some rare resources in the Demon Extermination Shop to directly break through in strength."
Qin Zhantian licked his lips, his eyes burning with raging battle intent.
What he had comprehended was the Gold-Thunder Fused True Intent. Although it was currently only slightly past Level 8, he still had the ability to preserve his life even when facing an Abyss Demon with peak Rank 5 strength.
After all, once his Gold-Thunder Fused True Intenterupted, his movement speed would be extremely fast; even an Abyss Demon with peak Rank 5 strength might not necessarily be able to catch up to him.
If he could find a few more geniuses of the same rank who had also comprehended a Fused True Intent, then by joining forces, it would be entirely normal for them to even turn the tables and kill an Abyss Demon with peak Rank 5 strength.
...
Scenes like this were playing out in many spaces almost simultaneously.
For the top peerless geniuses from the headquarters of the various Eternal Holy Lands, they all possessed high-tier Rank 5 strength.
Even if they knew they were no match for a peak Rank 5 Abyss Demon, they still had their own pride and confidence; at least, they wouldn't be scared into losing their battle intent right away.
Although in the early stages, the advantage of the Abyss Demons was much greater than that of the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, in the later stages, the strength of the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms could easily surpass that of Abyss Demons of the same rank.
The reason why the Abyss Demons' early-stage strength was so formidable was because they possessed powerful bloodlines.
Bloodlines allowed them to mobilize more of the world's power, and could even let them master True Intent skills in advance.
The boost that True Intent skills provided to one's strength was simply too massive.
Purely from the perspective of True Intent level, even those Abyss Demons with peak Rank 5 strength had at most raised their True Intent level to the stage of Level 10 Completion.
For the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, those top-tier geniuses had likewise raised their True Intent levels to Level 10 Completion, and some of them had even comprehended a Fused True Intent.
Although the level of their Fused True Intent was at most raised to the level of Level 7 or 8, from the perspective of comprehension talent, they were far stronger than those Abyss Demons.
This was also why in the later stages, a Professional's strength would instead be stronger than an Abyss Demon of the same rank.
Because the comprehension talent of the Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms for understanding True Intent was stronger than that of the Abyss Demons.
Because of the boost from their bloodlines, the Abyss Demons were extremely powerful in the early stages.
Furthermore, they could also obtain insights related to True Intent from their bloodlines, which made it very easy for them to raise their True Intent levels to a very high stage.
However, every advantage comes with a disadvantage; this actually had a very major impact on their later comprehension of Laws and Rules.
After all, the foundation they laid in the early stages was not solid enough, so naturally, every step in the later stages would be more difficult than for others.
The Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realmsfocused primarily on the late game.
Especially the human Professionals of the Heavens and Myriad Realms; they were considered weak among all the races in the Heavens and Myriad Realms during the early stages, but once they developed in the later stages, they would become the top-tier existences.
...
Time passed, and soon, twelve days had gone by.
Within a crude cave in the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Su Yu sat cross-legged, the enlightenment futon emitting a faint glow that enveloped his entire body.
Suddenly, he abruptly opened his eyes, a smile gracing the corners of his lips. His Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent had finally been raised to Level 10 Completion.
Now, he already possessed Rank 6 threshold combat power. These past dozen or so days of bitter cultivation had indeed not been in vain.
"Demon Extermination Points, here I come..." A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Chapter 292: The Current Situation!
Su Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air as the dark-red lightning of slaughter around him gradually receded.
He stood up and stretched his limbs, his entire body producing rumbling sounds akin to thunder.
After stowing away the enlightenment futon on the ground and the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intentbooklet in his hand, Su Yu directly opened the Ancient Domain panel.
Over the past dozen or so days, he had barely shifted an inch, entirely focused on comprehending the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent.
Now, he finally had time to check the status of the various leaderboards.
First, he opened the personal leaderboard.
"Well, as expected, my rank has dropped to 1000+," Su Yuchuckled and shook his head.
When he first entered the Eternal Ancient Realm, he had killed a mid-stage fifth transition Ancient Beast, earning 100 ancient domain points straightaway and claiming the top spot on the personal leaderboard.
Now that a dozen days had passed, he had long been pushed off the personal leaderboard.
Su Yu estimated that he was probably among those ranked at the very bottom right now.
After all, in ten-plus days, as long as one hadn't perished, earning 100 ancient domain points shouldn't be too difficult.
Su Yu then checked the faction leaderboard.
The Wuji Heavenly Domain was ranked fifth from the bottom, which was roughly consistent with its standing among all Eternal Holy Lands—a standard showing.
Currently, first place on the faction leaderboard was the Wushi Dao Domain, second was the Eternal Divine Court, and third was the Myriad Demon Sect.
The ancient domain points of these three Eternal Holy Lands were very close, meaning their rankings could shift at any moment.
This was likely also related to the fact that the Eternal Ancient Realm had not been open for very long.
Currently, everyone was probably still in the outer space of the Eternal Ancient Realm; the strength of the Ancient Beasts, as well as the quality and quantity of natural treasures and Ancient Domain Ruins, were far inferior to those in the inner space.
The further one advanced into the Inner Layer of the Eternal Ancient Realm, the more efficient earning ancient domain points would become.
Harvesting top-tier natural treasures and slaying powerful Ancient Beasts could yield massive amounts of ancient domain points.
In particular, clearing a top-tier Ancient Domain Ruinswould effortlessly grant an immense amount of ancient domain points.
Finally, Su Yu opened the demon extermination leaderboard.
The names at the top of the demon extermination leaderboard nearly matched those at the top of the personal leaderboard, differing only slightly in order.
Ranked first was Feng Yu from the Wushi Dao Domain, with 1,500 demon extermination points.
Ranked second was Huang Wuya from the Myriad Demon Sect, with 1,200 demon extermination points.
Ranked third was Heng Yao from the Eternal Divine Court, with 1,100 demon extermination points.
"Interesting. These three are likely the strongest trial takers to enter the Eternal Ancient Realm this time, aside from myself," Su Yu thought to himself.
Thanks to the information jade slip Senior Meng had provided, he was quite familiar with the backgrounds of these three.
Feng Yu was the strongest third transition genius of this generation from the Wushi Dao Domain, belonging to the human race.
He had comprehended the Feng Shui Fusion True Intentand was said to be only a step away from elevating it to Level 9, possessing the combat power of a peak fifth transition.
Huang Wuya was the strongest third transition genius of this generation from the Myriad Demon Sect. Belonging to the demon race, his true form was a Purple Cloud Heavenly Wolf.
He had comprehended the Wind and Thunder Fusion True Intent and was likewise said to be just one step shy of raising it to Level 9, boasting peak fifth transition strength.
As for Heng Yao, he was the Ninety-Seventh Prince of the Eternal Divine Court and also their strongest third transition genius of this generation, belonging to the god race.
What he had comprehended was the Light and Dark Fusion True Intent. It was said he was similarly just a step away from advancing it to Level 9, possessing peak fifth transition strength.
If these three joined forces, they could contend even with Abyss Demons possessing peak fifth transition strength.
Moreover, even if they faced an Abyss Demon of peak fifth transition strength alone, they most likely had the confidence to survive.
Whether it was the Wind and Thunder Fusion True Intentor the Light and Dark Fusion True Intent, both were Fused True Intents extraordinarily adept at movement speed.
Even the Feng Shui Fusion True Intent was faster in terms of movement speed than ordinary Wind True Intent.
For them, as long as they didn't run into two or three Abyss Demons with peak fifth transition strength at the same time, they were essentially guaranteed to preserve their lives.
Furthermore, their True Intent levels had been stuck at Level 8, 99.99% for a long time. In a life-or-death crisis, a breakthrough could happen at any moment.
When that time came, they would even have a chance of defeating an Abyss Demon with peak fifth transitionstrength.
However, actually slaying an Abyss Demon with peak fifth transition strength would still be exceedingly difficult, requiring at least the strength of a standout among peak fifth transitions.
"It seems that large-scale clashes have yet to occur between the Abyss Demons and the trial takers from the Heavens and Myriad Realms," Su Yu mused thoughtfully.
Right now, there weren't even 300 names on the entire demon extermination leaderboard—only 272.
After all, when teamed up, as long as a single Abyss Demon was slain, everyone in the party received demon extermination points corresponding to their contribution in battle.
Knowing that Abyss Demons had infiltrated, the trial takers from the Heavens and Myriad Realms would definitely band together.
Slaying just one Abyss Demon could result in ten or twenty people from a single team appearing on the demon extermination leaderboard.
With only two hundred-odd names in total, it was clear that large-scale conflict between the Abyss Demons and the trial takers from the Heavens and Myriad Realms had not yet erupted.
Still, Su Yu could deduce the current situation.
In all likelihood, the trial takers from the Heavens and Myriad Realms weren't rushing to advance; instead, they were exploring steadily in the Outer Zone space without hurrying toward deeper spaces.
Only teams led by trial takers with high-stage fifth transition strength had ventured into the deeper spaces and encountered Abyss Demons.
Even so, the probability of them encountering Abyss Demons right now shouldn't be very high.
Although ten thousand Abyss Demons sounded like a lot, the layers of countless spaces within the Eternal Ancient Realm were vast and overlapping; running into an Abyss Demon in such immense space was actually quite unlikely.
It would most likely take until everyone reached the relatively deeper spaces.
With fewer deeper spaces, the probability of crossing paths with Abyss Demons would naturally rise.
Next, Su Yu glanced at the introduction to the demon extermination rules; the number of surviving Abyss Demons displayed was still as high as 9,588.
Su Yu suspected that the number of Abyss Demons slain by the trial takers of the Heavens and Myriad Realmsmight not even exceed 300.
The rest had most likely been slain by the Ancient Beasts of the Eternal Ancient Realm, or had fallen into hazardous areas and perished under the perils' local laws.
"It's time for me to get moving too, and strive to boost the Wuji Heavenly Domain's ranking," Su Yu murmured with a faint smile tugging at his lips.
The higher the Wuji Heavenly Domain ranked, the more bonus rewards he would receive upon returning to the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Besides, he needed to raise his own ranking on the personal leaderboard anyway, which was essentially killing two birds with one stone.
Swish!
With a flap of the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Wings on his back, Su Yu transformed into a streak of purple lightning and shot out of the cave.
His current goal was to hunt Ancient Beasts to acquire ancient domain points and ancient beast crystal cores, which would then allow him to journey into deeper spaces.
Chapter 293 Senior Meng Was Relieved!
In the spectator space of the Eternal Ancient Realm within the Eternal Realm.
Suddenly, Senior Meng noticed Su Yu's name on the personal leaderboard jump, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Yu Huang's ancient domain points have finally changed, going from 100 to 110." Senior Meng's mouth curved slightly upward.
More than ten days had passed, and Su Yu's ancient domain points had finally changed, causing the hanging heart to finally settle.
As soon as Su Yu entered the Eternal Ancient Realm, he rushed to the top of the personal leaderboard, which had excited Senior Meng for quite a while back then.
Unexpectedly, the prompt about the Abyss Demonsinfiltrating followed right after, which naturally made Senior Meng worry about Su Yu.
Especially since ever since then, Su Yu's ancient domain points had not changed at all, making Senior Meng doubt life for a time.
You must know that if a trial taker perished in the Eternal Ancient Realm, their name on the personal leaderboardwould not disappear.
Only after the Eternal Ancient Realm concluded would people know who had perished within it.
Su Yu's ancient domain points had remained unchanged all along, which truly made Senior Meng extremely worried.
However, Senior Meng also held a glimmer of hope; after all, given Su Yu's strength, as long as he didn't run into those Abyss Demons with the strength of the fifth transition high stage or above, there would basically be no danger to his life.
Senior Meng refused to believe that Su Yu was so unlucky as to run into the infiltrated Abyss Demons right after entering the Eternal Ancient Realm, and furthermore perish at their hands.
Senior Meng was more willing to believe that Su Yu must have found a place to go into closed-door cultivation.
After all, before entering the Eternal Ancient Realm, Su Yuhad already raised the True Intent of Thunder to the level of Level 10 99.99%, and he had also said that he felt he was not far from breaking through this bottleneck.
Perhaps after learning that the Abyss Demons had infiltrated, Su Yu decided to break through this bottleneck before exploring the Eternal Ancient Realm, which would be safer for him and yield even greater gains.
If Su Yu had truly gone into closed-door cultivation, Senior Meng felt that this was indeed a very good choice.
As long as Su Yu could elevate the True Intent of Thunderto Level 10 perfection, he could possess the strength of the fifth transition high stage.
By then, even if he encountered an Abyss Demon with the strength of the fifth transition peak, there would still be a certain possibility of escaping.
After all, once the True Intent of Thunder reached Level 10 perfection, Su Yu would be able to activate the third-layer Dao pattern of the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Wings, which could push his movement speed to a limit by then.
As long as he didn't run into Abyss Demons extremely adept at movement speed, there was basically a possibility of escaping in almost any scenario.
"However, it's only been a dozen days, and this little fellow Yu Huang has already broken through the bottleneck of the True Intent of Thunder?" Senior Meng found it somewhat hard to believe.
For an ordinary person at the bottleneck of Level 10 99.99%, it was completely normal to be stuck for two or three years.
Su Yu did not have the blessing of the Enlightenment Pagoda in the Eternal Ancient Realm and could at most use some enlightenment points, yet he could break through this bottleneck in just over a dozen days—just how terrifying must his comprehension talent be?
Even if he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through before entering the Eternal Ancient Realm, it was still enough to show just how terrifying his comprehension talent was.
After all, he had only spent about eight days raising the True Intent of Thunder from Level 10 to a level close to Level 10 perfection, which was unimaginable even with the blessings of the Enlightenment Pagoda and enlightenment points.
Suddenly, Su Yu's name jumped again.
"It seems Yu Huang has indeed finished his closed-door cultivation. Now his ancient domain points have reached 120, indicating that he is rapidly sweeping through nearby Ancient Beasts." Senior Meng nodded in satisfaction.
Next was the moment to watch Su Yu perform.
If Su Yu had truly elevated the True Intent of Thunder to Level 10 perfection, then his strength would be enough to rank in the top one hundred even among all the geniuses who entered the Eternal Ancient Realm this time.
You must know that each Eternal Holy Land at most dispatched three or four geniuses possessing Level 10 perfection True Intent.
Coupled with those top geniuses who comprehended Fused True Intent, on average, each Eternal Holy Landonly had four or five people possessing the strength of the fifth transition high stage.
With a total of more than twenty Eternal Holy Lands, under very conservative circumstances, Su Yu was still enough to rank in the top one hundred.
Just as a myriad of thoughts were swirling in Senior Meng's mind, a slightly teasing voice came from behind.
"Elder Meng, the ranking of your Beiyun Star Domain Branch doesn't look too pretty this time."
Senior Meng turned his head to see a middle-aged man wearing brocade robes walking toward him with a smiling expression.
This person was named Zhou Yuanhua, in charge of the Dongsheng Star Domain Branch of the Wuji Heavenly Domain, and could be considered Senior Meng's old rival.
"What, Elder Zhou, is your Dongsheng Star Domain ranked very high?" Senior Meng glanced at him faintly.
Zhou Yuanhua laughed heartily and pointed at the personal leaderboard on the light screen: "You'll know if you just calculate it simply yourself. My Dongsheng Star Domain is currently ranked 47th among the various star domain branches of the Wuji Heavenly Domain, while your Beiyun Star Domain... Hehe, you're ranked 82nd, fifth from the bottom."
As Ninth Revolution Divine Lords with powerful souls, they could easily aggregate and analyze the numerous names on the personal leaderboard to derive the rankings of their respective star domain branches.
Senior Meng's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "It's only been a dozen days since it just started, what's the rush?"
"You can already see the subsequent ranking trend after a dozen days." Zhou Yuanhua shook his head, clicking his tongue as he said, "That Yu Huang from your Beiyun Star Domain was said to have a potential rating of a third-grade true god seed, so why has there been no movement after getting 100 ancient domain points at the start? Could it be that he ran into some trouble?"
Senior Meng's gaze turned cold: "Take another good look, he now has 120 ancient domain points."
Zhou Yuanhua was slightly stunned, glanced at the personal leaderboard, and said, "Yo, it really is. Elder Meng, how about I make a bet with you?"
"What bet?"
"Let's bet on whether the final ranking of our Dongsheng Star Domain and your Beiyun Star Domain will be higher or lower after this Eternal Ancient Realm ends." Zhou Yuanhua held up a finger. "Let's bet 1 million Wuji Heavenly Domain points, how about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several surrounding star domain persons in charge also gathered around.
"Yo, Elder Zhou is stirring up trouble again."
"Beiyun Star Domain is indeed in a precarious spot this time; their ancient domain points are currently too low."
"Didn't they say that Yu Huang has the potential rating of a third-grade true origin person seed? Maybe he was in closed-door cultivation to improve his strength earlier."
Senior Meng directly ignored the surrounding discussions and said in a calm tone, "I bet! But the stake needs to be changed. If we bet, let's bet 5 million Wuji Heavenly Domain points. That's too little, I can't be bothered to bet with you."
"Oh?" Zhou Yuanhua raised an eyebrow. "Elder Meng, you wouldn't be pinning your hopes on that Yu Huang, would you?"
"One word, do you bet or not?" Senior Meng said in a deep voice.
"5 million it is, I take the bet." Zhou Yuanhua laughed loudly. "Elder Meng, don't feel heartbroken when you lose by then."
"Same to you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, each harboring their own thoughts.
As Ninth Revolution Divine Lords, they earned a lot, but similarly, they spent a lot as well.
5 million Wuji Heavenly Domain points was also a considerable sum for them.
Chapter 294: Ranking Skyrocketed!
Within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Su Yu was flying rapidly through the void, and wherever he went, not a single Ancient Beast could survive.
Although he only displayed the 10th-grade consummate True Intent of Thunder, it had already reached the strength of a high-stage fifth transition.
If he activated the third-tier Dao pattern of the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Wings, his strength could even reach the pinnacle among the high-stage fifth transition.
Even if he encountered an ordinary high-stage fifth transition Ancient Beast, he could resolve it within a dozen moves.
Although there were no other trial takers nearby and he could completely let go and fight, under such a state of rapid flight, omissions were inevitable.
If someone discovered that he possessed the 10th-grade consummate Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent, it would be troublesome.
After all, for a Professional from a Newborn Civilization to possess the 10th-grade consummate Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent, there must be a huge secret behind it.
Naturally, Su Yu would not place himself in such a dangerous situation.
About half a day later, Su Yu had collected enough ancient beast crystal cores.
With a thought in his mind, he directly communicated with the rules of the Eternal Ancient Realm.
As the ancient beast crystal cores in his backpack disappeared, a spatial vortex with a diameter of about three meters appeared in front of him.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu stepped directly into the spatial vortex.
He only felt his vision blur, and as the space around him shook, he arrived in another space.
Immediately, he felt that the surrounding space had become more solid, and the gravity had also become stronger.
However, it did not have much impact on him; it only slightly accelerated his physical stamina consumption rate and slightly reduced his movement speed.
"As expected." Su Yu was not surprised by this.
He had long memorized the rules of the Eternal Ancient Realm by heart. The deeper the space, the more solid it was, and at the same time, the stronger the gravity would be.
It was said that in the extremely deep space, even Professionals with mid-stage fifth transition strength would lose the ability to fly.
Even Professionals with high-stage fifth transitionstrength would be greatly restricted.
Of course, the Ancient Beasts living within would also be restricted accordingly. Everyone was on the same starting line, so the impact was not significant in essence.
"Let's continue and strive to enter the Inner Layer space as soon as possible." A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
The further inward they went, the stronger the Ancient Beasts' strength, and the greater the probability of top-tier rare treasures of heaven and earth and Ancient Domain Ruins appearing.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of top-tier opportunities in the ancient realm were within the Ancient Domain Ruins.
Exploring an Ancient Domain Ruins could yield a massive amount of ancient domain points and various benefits.
Inheritances of True Intent, law inheritances, various enlightenment resources, and all kinds of top-tier rare treasures of heaven and earth were all likely to appear in the Ancient Domain Ruins.
It could be said that the Ancient Domain Ruins were the greatest opportunity in the Eternal Ancient Realm.
The rare treasures of heaven and earth usually found in various spaces of the Eternal Ancient Realm were merely an appetizer.
The Ancient Domain Ruins were the hardest main course of the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Of course, corresponding to the Ancient Domain Ruinswere some unknown dangers within the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Triggering the Ancient Domain Ruins and triggering some unknown dangers in the ancient realm were extremely similar.
If one suddenly fell into an unknown space, this space could be the Ancient Domain Ruins, or it could be an unknown danger.
Of course, it could also be an Ancient Domain Ruins filled with unknown dangers.
It could be said that some unknown danger zones in the intelligence information were very likely an Ancient Domain Ruins; it was just that the people who entered them did not have the qualifications or ability to obtain the opportunities within.
All in all, the Ancient Domain Ruins did not only represent opportunities, they also represented risks.
...
Time flew by, and soon it was three days later.
In the Eternal Realm, within the spectator space of the Eternal Ancient Realm.
"Good, good, good! Yu Huang's personal leaderboardranking has already rushed into the top 300. At this promotion speed, there is a very good chance of even rushing into the top 100 in a few more days."
Senior Meng looked at the personal leaderboard on the light screen, the corners of his mouth unable to stop curling upward.
Over these three days, he had watched Su Yu's ranking on the personal leaderboard skyrocket continuously, going all the way up from nearly hitting rock bottom, and had now reached 299th place.
In his view, Su Yu had lagged behind by a full dozen days, yet caught up in just three days; he definitely already possessed the strength of a high-stage fifth transition.
With the strength of a high-stage fifth transition, it was very normal to even enter the top one hundred of the personal leaderboard.
Among all the trial takers who entered the Eternal Ancient Realm, probably only about a hundred people possessed the strength of a high-stage fifth transition.
As long as Su Yu's luck was slightly better, entering the top 50 was also quite normal.
Right now, Su Yu's ranking was already the highest ranking of the Beiyun Star Domain Branch. As for the others, even Luo Jingtian, who ranked second, had not entered the top 1000 of the personal leaderboard.
The top 1000 of the personal leaderboard were almost entirely occupied by trial takers from the headquarters of the major Eternal Holy Lands, with only a very small number of people coming from the star domain branches of the major Eternal Holy Lands.
However, this was also very normal. After all, the Third-turn Professionals dispatched into the Eternal Ancient Realm by the headquarters of the major Eternal Holy Lands had all elevated their True Intent to at least grade 10; they were simply not comparable to the Third-turn Professionals of the star domain branches.
"Elder Zhou." Senior Meng suddenly turned around, looked at Zhou Yuanhua not far away with a somewhat unnatural expression, and said in a leisurely tone, "Would you like to recalculate the ranking of our Beiyun Star Domain now?"
The corners of Zhou Yuanhua's mouth twitched slightly, and he did not reply.
Because of Su Yu's individual results, the ranking of the entire Beiyun Star Domain Branch had now rushed from 10th from the bottom previously to 29th place.
Meanwhile, their Dongsheng Star Domain was still lingering around the 40-something position, and there was an obvious gap between the two.
Moreover, looking at Su Yu's current momentum, 29th place should not yet be the limit of the Beiyun Star Domain Branch; he might even end up entering the top five, or even the top three.
Senior Meng didn't mind either and continued on his own, "In my opinion, the ranking of our Beiyun Star Domain will have to go up even further. This fellow Yu Huang is much more formidable than you imagine."
He paused and smiled, "As for those 5 million Wuji Heavenly Domain points, Elder Zhou must prepare them in advance. My memory is not very good, and I'm afraid you might welch on the debt when the time comes."
Hearing this, several surrounding star domain leaders successively revealed playful expressions, their gazes shifting back and forth between the two.
"Elder Meng, where are we even at? It seems you are very confident."
"Indeed, it is still early before the Eternal Ancient Realmends. Anything can happen next."
Senior Meng smiled faintly, "Just keep watching."
Zhou Yuanhua's expression turned somewhat ugly, and he stared fixedly at Su Yu's name on the light screen.
Three days to rush from rock bottom to 299th place—he was extremely clear on what this meant.
This meant that Su Yu's hunting efficiency was extremely high, and his strength possessed an overwhelming advantage against Ancient Beasts.
In other words, Su Yu most likely elevated the True Intent of Thunder to 10th-grade consummate, reaching the strength of a high-stage fifth transition.
According to the intelligence he understood, when the Civilization Arena had just opened, Su Yu's True Intent of Thunder was at most grade 9.
Yet how long had passed now, and he had already elevated the True Intent of Thunder to 10th-grade consummate. This comprehension talent could be called terrifyingly monstrous.
