at the same time.
Yongkang Prefecture, the entrance to the secret realm.
Kong Hao was leading a large group of people to guard this place, surrounding the entire canyon, so that not even an ant could crawl out.
His expression was icy, and he was constantly worried about Kong Xin, Lu Tao, and the others.
He didn't know if these people were still alive after the secret realm self-destructed.
Seeing this, the others dared not provoke him and quietly guarded their own positions.
The entire canyon was completely silent.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation emanated, attracting everyone's attention, and they all looked over.
"This is... the entrance to a secret realm has opened?"
"They're still alive? They've been able to get out?"
"But there are still four or five days before they come out."
As the entrance to the secret realm slowly opened, everyone looked puzzled.
Only Kong Hao's icy expression melted instantly, revealing a look of surprise.
"They might still be alive."
Kong Hao let out a long breath, instantly exhaling the pent-up frustration in his heart.
As long as the secret realm still exists and has not been completely destroyed, Kong Xin, Lu Tao, and the others still have hope of survival.
Especially since Lu Tao has a third-tier array plate and Kong Xin also has a defensive treasure made by Yongkang Prefecture, their chances of survival are very high.
"We must get out alive."
Kong Hao prayed silently, his eyes fixed on the entrance to the secret realm.
Soon, the entrance to the secret realm was fully opened.
but--
No one came out.
"Did no one make it out alive?"
Upon seeing this, Kong Hao's expression suddenly darkened, a flash of ferocity crossing his eyes. He forced himself to calm down and pondered, "Could it be... that we can go in?"
The opening of the entrance to the secret realm means either entering or releasing people.
The secret realm has opened, but no one has come out yet; it's probably not time for them to emerge yet.
Kong Hao did not believe that all six thousand people in the secret realm had died.
After thinking for a moment, Kong Hao instructed one of his subordinates, who was at the Innate Realm, "Zhou Hong, come here and see if we can get in."
As they spoke, Kong Hao handed a piece of Tier 3 armor to Zhou Hong.
"Yes, Lord."
Zhou Hong was over forty years old. He was a member of the Yongkang City Guard. After putting on his armor, he turned and stepped towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Then I saw him—
I walked in easily.
"They really went in? Why would this happen?"
Kong Hao frowned, utterly puzzled.
After the secret realm self-destructed, it was already a pleasant surprise that it could be opened. So why was it that not only did no one come out, but people were also allowed to go in again?
Isn't it only allowed for 6,000 people to enter?
Kong Hao was very confused. "What exactly happened inside the secret realm?"
"Lord, may we go in?"
At this moment, someone couldn't help but ask Kong Hao a question. If it were before, he wouldn't have dared to speak to Kong Hao at all. He only dared to ask after seeing the expression on Kong Hao's face soften.
The Divine Platform Secret Realm is an immense opportunity; ordinary cultivators like them have no chance to enter it.
But now.
The entrance to the secret realm is open for a limited time, and they are the only ones here. If they don't go in, wouldn't it be a waste?
Although they knew that the secret realm was full of dangers, especially after the huge commotion caused by the secret realm's self-destruction, they realized that something else had happened inside.
However, they still didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Danger and opportunity coexist.
As a cultivator, I had long been aware of this.
"The secret realm is very dangerous; you should think it through carefully."
Kong Hao offered a reminder.
Zhou Hong was alright because he had his Tier 3 armor protecting him, but these people didn't, and entering the secret realm would be very dangerous for them.
Their risk of perishing is far greater than that of others who entered before them.
"Don't worry, Lord, we've thought it through."
"Then you can go."
Kong Hao stopped trying to dissuade him.
"I'm so envious. Why is it that only those below the Grandmaster level can enter?"
As more than a thousand Innate Realm experts entered the secret realm one after another, the other Grandmasters and Divine Platform experts all showed expressions of envy.
Kong Hao's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"If an anomaly occurs in the secret realm and the number of slots is increased, will the cultivation level also be unrestricted?"
Thinking of this, Kong Hao hurriedly flew towards the entrance of the secret realm, wanting to try and see if he could enter.
only--
Buzz!
Kong Hao's body, which was trying to step into the entrance, was firmly blocked outside by the secret realm, and he could not move forward even an inch.
"pity."
Kong Hao sighed, then looked at the others and said, "Let's have a Grandmaster come in and see if we can get in."
"Lord, I'll do it!"
An elderly man with gray hair rushed forward first, while the others were a step behind and could only watch helplessly as he charged toward the entrance.
Then--
His figure disappeared directly at the entrance.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the crowd erupted in uproar.
Those at the Grandmaster level were all excited.
Even Kong Hao was somewhat surprised; he had only intended to give it a try, but it actually succeeded.
"Lord of the Manor!"
at this time.
All the other grandmaster-level experts stared longingly at Kong Hao.
"Go ahead, and be careful."
Kong Hao waved his hand, signaling everyone to enter the secret realm.
"Thank you, Lord of the Manor!"
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed into the entrance to the secret realm, fearing that it would close once the time was up.
"Fifth Uncle, after you enter the secret realm, remember to send a message to Xin'er to see if she is... safe."
Kong Hao asked an elderly man in his sixties for a favor.
This is his fifth uncle, who has average talent and is almost two hundred years old, yet he is only at the late stage of the Grandmaster level.
Kong Anzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord, Xin'er will definitely be fine."
After saying that, Kong Anzhi also walked into the entrance of the secret realm.
Soon, hundreds of grandmasters entered the secret realm, leaving only a few Divine Platform experts here.
What exactly happened within the secret realm?
While pondering, Kong Hao relayed the events that had occurred to his Martial King Ancestor.
"The Outer Heavens".
Kong Hao looked up at the sky, his expression anxious and worried.
previously.
Shortly after the secret realm self-destructed and the gray-robed martial god repaired the spatial rift, the Great Gan and the Demon races clashed in the Outer Heavens, a battle more devastating than any previous one.
I don't know what the final outcome will be.
"Is the anomaly in the secret realm an accident, or...?"
Turning his gaze away from the slowly closing entrance to the secret realm, Kong Hao pondered for a moment before murmuring, "Perhaps we should also summon the experts from other sects."
——
On the other side.
In the demon realm, on a high mountain, dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into mist, enveloping the entire mountain peak.
On the mountainside.
Countless monstrous beasts swarmed around this place; there were all kinds of creatures, including land animals, birds, and sea beasts.
They are all at the Grandmaster level or the Divine Platform level.
Each and every one of them possesses immense strength.
They had gathered here several days ago, waiting for the entrance to the secret realm to open, but there had been no movement for several days.
The group of demonic beasts grew rather bored while waiting, and many of them even lay down on the mountain and fell into a deep sleep.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation appeared, startling all the demonic beasts.
"The entrance is open."
"Success! The secret realm has been merged."
"Charge! Seize the secret realm, annihilate the Great Gan, and devour the human race!"
"Hahaha, human blood food, here I come."
The four thousand powerful demonic beasts were all excited at this moment, roaring and shouting with excitement.
roar--
Awooo—
As soon as the entrance was secured, three thousand Grandmaster-level demonic beasts rushed in impatiently.
as if.
What delicious food awaits them, waiting for them to savor?
only.
Not long after entering the secret realm, a series of distress messages rang out.
"Boss, help!"
"Big brother, come save me! There are humans chasing me!"
"Dad, run! There's a human named Lu Tao, an invincible Grandmaster! Run!"
...
Hearing these cries for help, many of the scattered monsters were bewildered.
Even though they knew that the human race's strength had greatly increased after acquiring the Divine Platform Secret Realm, they couldn't believe it was this terrifying, could they?
not to mention.
Isn't there a demon god clone leading the team?
With his Grandmaster-level cultivation and physical body comparable to a second-tier being, shouldn't he be able to easily annihilate a mere three thousand human cultivators?
"Where is the demon god's avatar?"
Numerous demonic beasts angrily sent messages inquiring about the matter.
"Dead!"
Just two words, yet they struck the hearts of all the demons like a thunderbolt, making them unable to believe that it was true.
The demons hurriedly sent messages to inquire, and the news they received shocked them.
Lu Tao not only killed the demon god's avatar, but also killed four thousand demon beasts.
"Who is this Lu Tao? He actually killed the demon god's avatar!"
"How can a Grandmaster Level 1 kill a Demon God's avatar?"
"He actually killed three thousand members of my demon race in such a short time?"
All the demonic beasts that received the news were dumbfounded. This was not what they had imagined. Shouldn't they be the ones devouring humans?
"Why should we, three thousand great demons, fear a mere Grandmaster? Let's go, save them!"
"That's right. Moreover, we must stop him from refining our demon race's secret realm, or we will be in grave danger."
The cultivation realms of the demon race are as follows: Great Demon corresponds to the Grandmaster realm of the human race, followed by Divine Platform, Demon King, and Demon God.
There were three thousand Great Demons at the peak of their cultivation; even if Lu Tao were an invincible Grandmaster, they would not be afraid.
After exchanging messages.
A group of demonic beasts flew like lightning from all directions towards the center of the secret realm, heading towards the altar to provide rescue.
——
call out--
call--
Within the secret realm.
Lu Tao carried a quiver on his back. Each time he drew his bow, he would shoot out more than a dozen arrows at once without pausing for a moment.
He shot down only demonic beasts at the Grandmaster level.
As for those demonic beasts that had only reached the peak of the Innate Realm, Lu Tao didn't bother using arrows at all; he simply used his divine sense to control chopsticks to shoot them down.
But he was very tired.
Controlling so many spiritual artifacts, even though Lu Tao's divine sense far surpassed that of an early-stage Grandmaster, he still felt his soul sea tremble.
There was no other choice.
Lu Tao killed the monsters while taking pills to recover.
They slaughtered the monsters until they had nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to earth.
"Brother Lu, I've found something good."
While chasing the demonic beast, Lu Tao suddenly heard He Yuanshuang's voice. He immediately sent a portion of his divine sense into the cave and asked, "What good stuff?"
"Brother Lu, it's Dust-Removing Grass, a full twelve Dust-Removing Grasses!"
He Yuanshuang's voice was full of surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao paused in his pursuit of the demonic beasts, feeling his breathing quicken. "There are so many!"
In fact.
Lu Tao had guessed this before, but he didn't expect there to be so many. He thought that three or five plants would be good enough.
Twelve dust-removing herbs—how many geniuses could they create?
Lu Tao directly instructed, "Shuang'er, plant all the Dust-Removing Grass in the medicine garden and tidy up the rest."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
"This trip to the secret realm was worthwhile."
Lu Tao smiled broadly and murmured, "However, let's deal with these crises first."
"Shan Yu, how about absorbing memories?" Lu Tao suddenly asked Shan Yu again.
Shan Yu replied, "Master, its memories are very complex and will require a little more time."
"Hurry up."
Lu Tao casually gave an order to continue the pursuit of the demonic beast.
Of the six thousand demonic beasts, Lu Tao alone had already killed more than three thousand. With the seven or eight hundred killed by the others, there were still about two thousand demonic beasts alive.
Lu Tao wanted to kill all the demonic beasts; he didn't want them bothering him while he was refining the secret realm.
"Ancestor, help me!"
"Brother, come save me! There's a human named Lu Tao who's incredibly fierce! Please save me!"
"Help!"
All the demonic beasts were fleeing frantically, especially those at the Grandmaster level, who were being chased by Lu Tao and had nowhere to escape.
Even birds of prey could not escape Lu Tao's pursuit.
They all sought help from other Grandmaster-level demon beasts.
only.
The distance for those demonic beasts to travel from the outer perimeter of the secret realm to its center is too great; even a Grandmaster at the peak of cultivation would need several hours.
Puff puff—
They kept shooting arrows, retracting them, and shooting them again—and this process continued incessantly.
finally.
After shooting down another sixteen Grandmaster-level demonic beasts, Lu Tao stopped drawing his bow.
"We've finally killed all these Grandmaster-level demonic beasts."
Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Tao casually put the monster's corpse into his cave and had He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming tidy it up before flying off to chase after other innate monsters in different directions.
roar--
Woohoo—
One after another, the monsters fell to the ground.
final.
After a quarter of an hour of work, nearly six thousand demonic beasts were killed by Lu Tao and his group.
Lu Tao alone killed more than four thousand monsters.
"Brother Lu!"
"Sect Master Lu!"
at this time.
When Lu Tao gathered everyone together, everyone looked at him with awe.
Even the avatars of the Martial King and the disciples of the Martial God's forces are all like this.
Seven or eight hundred people killed six thousand demonic beasts, and there were not many casualties; only a dozen or so people had their physical bodies destroyed.
This is nothing short of a miracle.
Without Lu Tao's leadership, they simply couldn't have done this.
"Alright, those who are seriously injured, hurry up and heal your wounds. The rest of you, follow me to refine the secret realm."
Lu Tao gave the order.
He directly summoned the refining core of the demon race's altar using the gray bead...
