[Yang Dingtian's guardian bird has broken through to the third realm, but you're not worried at all.]

[The opponent only has three yellow feathered crests on their head. Although they are still stronger than pure demons without high-level bloodlines, they are at most equivalent to more than twice the combat power. Currently, the gap between them and you is... more than seven times!]

[A difference of more than seven times means that even if you survive a hit, you'll be severely injured. If you didn't have the ability to instantly recreate the future, allowing others to stand still with the same stats, you really wouldn't have lasted those few dozen seconds!]

"Now that things have come to this, even the formation that would allow us to fly back and borrow a divine intervention can't withstand it."

[Your only option is to raise your hand: "Battlefield of a Hundred Races, kick! This third-realm bird appeared in the second-realm zone, forfeit!"]

[The blazing sun casts its rays across the sky; the three crests atop the guardian bird's head gather power, unleashing three scorching rays aimed at you from both sides!]

Three crimson-white rays swept across the earth, triggering a series of explosions. They swept through the forest, blasting trees into flames; they swept across the lake, sending plumes of white mist rising, and revealing a scorching fissure hundreds of meters deep at the bottom!

No matter how the guardian bird's three rays swept across the area, you barely managed to dodge them. Ten breaths, twenty breaths—you felt that if that attack hit you even once, your flesh would be burned raw, your bones exposed!

[If those "top 100" creatures from the Yuanjing Giant Mine were here, they'd be melted in one hit, unable to last five breaths!]

Sensing the growing repulsive force emanating from its body, the guardian bird grew increasingly anxious, its anxiety tinged with fear: How could a second-realm human possess such power and such combat awareness!?

[If it were just one of these, it could be understood as an effect of the Holy Body... but how could it have both!?]

"A raging inferno!"

"Golden Crow Flame!"

The Guardian Bird cleared its skill set, unleashing a barrage of large-scale attacks... but it still wasn't enough!

[Until an unseen force enveloped it, a power even the True King had not mastered—the power of space.]

Yun Shou: "..."

He discovered that there are always some strange limitations in this world.

The level of spatial power is extremely high; even a true king who can destroy thousands of miles in an instant cannot control it. Moreover, spatial rings, which are commonly used in other fantasy, immortal, and high-martial arts novels, are extremely rare.

"Or is space technology another kind of extraordinary system? Like a sorcerer who can freely change his form, that's flesh compression that even the true king of the demon race can't do."

Considering that some people described the Seven Realms as "gods" and "immortals" after their creation, does this mean that other realms have systems of faith and incense offerings, or cultivation systems?

The guardian bird vanished from the battlefield of the Hundred Races, thrown out from an entrance somewhere in the Demon Land, angrily unleashing its blazing solar radiation, burning countless lesser demons of the Boundless Realm alive.

[And you finally relaxed, thankfully your opponent had only just broken through and hadn't mastered many of the techniques of the Third Realm Yang Bird, otherwise this time it would have been truly hopeless.]

"The gap is still too big. If the reward Yang Dingtian received wasn't Yuan Liquid, this time it would truly be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. But if it was Yang Dingtian who broke through... it's a ten-out-of-ten chance of death!"

"...Why did I still run into this kind of trouble when the Hundred Races Battlefield seemed so safe?" you couldn't help but think. "Is this the price for killing the future Golden Crow True King?"

"Luckily, Yang Dingtian stayed here for three years, causing its guardian bird to become complacent, otherwise how would we have had a chance to kill it..." You return to the Yuan Crystal Mine, where some of the burns on your body are rapidly healing under the nourishment of Yuan Qi.

Then you notice that the Taiyuan Crystal Core has stopped spraying.

The five "top 100" humans who had previously been your supporters now all turned their attention to you.

【you:"……"】

【them:"……"】

[You take out a video recorder made from a byproduct of the Golden Spirit and click play.]

Two days ago, the six of you swore an oath together: "We, the Top 100, may abandon treasures, but we will never betray ourselves!"

[Without external threats, they began to focus on internal matters.]

One of them coughed lightly: "Now that the alien races have been eliminated and the Primordial Crystal Heart has fully emerged, it's time to decide its ownership."

Another person said, "The strongest enemy was undoubtedly Prince Yangniao, but it took the combined efforts of all six of us to defeat it."

[Another person said, "It should be distributed according to contribution. Brother Yun, you went to chase after the Yang Bird Prince, so you neglected to guard it. Cough cough, anyway..."]

The first two people they encountered, Jiang Yuan and Tu Yan, suggested, "How about we split the value of the Taiyuan Crystal Heart in two parts, with Brother Yun keeping two for yourself?"

[If this were before the emergence of the Taiyuan Crystal Heart, your stats would only be slightly stronger than those of a peak Celestial Being, less than twice as strong. Back then, relying on the Momentary Future Body, dealing with these five "Top 100" individuals, who were at least twice as powerful, would have been quite difficult.]

But your current value is more than ten times higher!

Since we're dissatisfied with the distribution of contributions, let's resolve everything by force.

This was all planned in advance... they just didn't expect you to be so much stronger after your trip!

[And that terrifying combat talent—only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly feel the overwhelming pressure. Before, they only saw you effortlessly defeating the Golden Crow and other alien races; they just thought you were a skilled fighter.]

[But what's the use of just being good at fighting? Can one of them take on all five of us?]

[When I actually faced you, I realized how incredibly skilled you were!]

In less than a minute, they had beaten a whole group of them to the ground.

Seeing that they weren't too ungrateful and didn't use any formations against you, you didn't go all out.
