I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 703 Two Years in the Blink of an Eye
Time flies, and the stars shift and the constellations change.

Two years have passed since the mission to hunt down the Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape ended.

Two years ago, the Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape, a seventh-level Transcendent Realm cultivator, was successfully killed by the combined efforts of Carson and Zhou Qiyuan.

That battle was quite a big one.

The battle between the two people and the beast could be clearly detected within a radius of several kilometers.

That level of combat completely surpasses the power that a grandmaster can unleash.

Carson's terrifying fist techniques, Zhou Qiyuan's sword light tearing through the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and the Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape's frenzied roar as it lay dying still leave many people with lingering fear.

Of course, although the Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape was killed by the two, the two of them were also seriously injured.

Carson's right chest was pierced by the demonic ape's dying counterattack, exposing his pale white bones.

Zhou Qiyuan's arms were completely shattered, and his right hand, which was holding the sword, was almost completely crippled.

The two of them each used 1,000 points to exchange for a bottle of level 6 healing potion, and spent a whole month recuperating in the safe zone before they could barely recover.

The strength of the seventh-level mortal beast far exceeded their initial estimates.

The Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape was not only terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary human Grandmasters, but even more frightening was its combat intelligence, which was completely different from its crazed appearance.

It knows how to take advantage of its environment, it can feign attacks, and it may even deliberately show weakness after being injured to set a trap.

Carson's horrifying chest wound was inflicted when the demonic ape suddenly erupted, just as he thought victory was assured and was about to deliver the final blow.

Zhou Qiyuan also took that blow head-on in order to save Carson, which resulted in both of his arms being shattered.

Of course, it's worth it if we can kill it!
15000 points, each person can get 7500 points.

Even if you use 1,000 points to exchange for a level 6 healing potion, each person will still have 6500 points left.

With the points they earned from this mission, and the little they had left, they all chose to exchange them for a Tier 3 Qi and Blood Treasure.

Carson went bankrupt to exchange his money for the Broken Army sword he had his eye on from the beginning.

Worth 9000 points.

The sword that Zhou Qiyuan exchanged was cheaper, costing only 7000 points.

After their injuries healed, the two of them broke through to the Grandmaster level and went to the inner ring area.

Over the next two years, the former sixth-level Transcendent Grandmasters also entered the inner ring area one after another.

The sixth-level Transcendent Transformers who remain on the outskirts are either those who broke through from the fifth level of Transcendent Transformation or those who obtained too few points and were unable to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Anyone who can break through to the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm has already entered the inner ring area.

In total, more than 90 people have successfully entered the inner ring road in the past three years.

It occupied 80% of the original sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

With the departure of these top experts, a new generation of geniuses in the outer regions began to emerge.

For example, Qi Hui.

After three years of cultivation on the Heavenly Road, he had already broken through to the third stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Not only that, his martial arts realm has also broken through to the mid-stage of Dark Force, and his Fire Intent realm has reached the second stage.

This is even though he spends most of his time hunting monsters; otherwise, his cultivation would only be faster.

He has even stopped hunting monsters of the same level and is now looking for monsters with higher cultivation levels than himself.

As a result, Qi Hui's total points have now exceeded 30,000, placing him in second place.

There's a little anecdote about Qi Hui.

Six months ago, Zhang Ming led six Transcendent Second Stage cultivators to lure and kill Qi Hui, but in the end, not only did Qi Hui escape, but Zhang Ming also killed three of them.

This incident also forged a deep-seated hatred between the two peerless talents of Lingxiao Academy.

Qi Hui naturally wanted revenge, while Zhang Ming and the others wanted to eliminate Qi Hui as a potential threat.

However, the two groups have not met since then.

Apart from Qi Hui.

The person ranked first in points is Gao Fenghua.

He topped the list with 38650 points, leading Qi Hui, who was in second place, by a full 7,000 points.

Three years have passed, and Gao Fenghua has broken through from the second stage of the Transcendent Realm to the fourth stage.

His most glorious battle was a month ago when he killed a sixth-level Transcendent Beast, a monster two levels above him.

Although that demonic beast had only just broken through, it was already extremely exaggerated that it could kill a sixth-level Transcendent Demonic Beast.

This is even more shocking than when he killed a fourth-level Transcendent being at the second level of Transcendent Realm two years ago.

Gao Fenhua thus earned 6000 points.

The reason he was able to kill him was twofold: firstly, he possessed a third-tier Qi and Blood Treasure; secondly, his martial arts realm had reached the late stage of Dark Force, and he had created his own sword technique.

However, although this sword technique is an extraordinary martial art, it can only be called a sword technique, not a sword manual.

Of course, there aren't many extraordinary martial arts techniques that can be called martial arts manuals these days!

The entire human race has never produced more than ten martial arts manuals to date; most extraordinary martial arts can only be called martial techniques.

The so-called martial arts techniques are those that can be completely integrated with one's own martial will and blood circulation system to form a unique and inheritable complete "Tao" and "principle".

Such martial arts contain the creator's unique understanding and application of martial arts and the laws of heaven and earth, and have unlimited growth potential. They can be continuously deduced and improved as the cultivator's realm advances.

Of course, how far the model can be refined and perfected depends on the creator himself.

But martial arts are different.

Martial arts are more about the application of skills and strength. They may incorporate a certain artistic conception and be powerful, but they lack that core that runs through the whole.

It is more like a meticulously crafted tool. Although it is useful, its upper limit was almost predetermined at the beginning of its creation, making it difficult to accompany cultivators to higher realms.

Most extraordinary martial arts created by superhumans are nothing more than martial arts techniques.

However, it is already extremely exaggerated that Gao Fenghua was able to create extraordinary martial arts with the cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm!
Prior to this, only Augustus had created extraordinary martial arts at the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Even Xuan Yuan Yun Gui created extraordinary martial arts at the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Of course, Xuanyuan Yungui was the founder of extraordinary martial arts.

The construction environments for each of them at this time are also very different.

There is no comparison at all.

If we really compare them like this, there are plenty of people who cultivate faster than Nangong Hong now.

Does that mean their talent is superior to Nangong Hong's?
Everyone lives in a different era, and the opportunities and challenges they face are also very different.

As one of the first awakened beings, Nangong Hong forged his own path despite having no prior experience and far fewer resources than he does now.

The significance and hardship of its pioneers far surpasses that of those who came later and rapidly improved in a superior environment.

The same applies to Xuanyuan Yungui.

……

The third-ranked player in the outer area is a fifth-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator named Natalia.

This person has been at the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm since he entered, and his cultivation level has not improved at all.

But her score reached 30150 points.

He is one of only three people in the outer region to have a score of over 30,000.

Besides the top three, there are more than two hundred other people with over 10,000 points.

They comprise one-tenth of the number of extraordinary individuals in the outer region.

As for the remaining 90%, most of them have less than 5,000 points.

There are actually fewer than a thousand people who can reach more than five thousand points.

outside world.

Inside the command center, someone asked curiously:

"What do you think the minimum points threshold will be when it's about to be announced?"

"It's hard to say, there have been quite a few people eliminated in these three years."

One of the people next to him shook his head, then continued:

“In particular, the number of superhumans in the outer areas has decreased from the initial 3193 to the current 2552, a reduction of one-fifth.”

This number clearly far exceeded their previous estimates.

It was estimated that at most 300 people would be eliminated in three years, but the number actually doubled.

In such a situation, it is very likely that no one will be eliminated, or the points threshold will be quite low.

Just as everyone was discussing, a figure walked in from outside.

"team leader!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone immediately fell silent.

The person who came in was Luo Feng, the person in charge of monitoring the data of the outer area of ​​Wanxiang Tianlu.

His face was stern, and his gaze swept over the researchers present before finally landing on the central projection screen, which was displaying the number 2552 in real time.

"The notice has been issued. This time, the minimum score is 1000 points. Anyone who scores below 1000 points will be eliminated."

really!

Hearing this number, no one was surprised.

The 1000-point mark is basically just a formality; they don't intend to eliminate many people.

Currently, only 87 people have a score below 500.

This number of eliminations is quite moderate compared to the overall decrease in the number of employees.

"in addition."

Just then, Luo Feng continued:
"Starting from the back, except for those at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm, other trial participants will not gain points for hunting monsters of the same level."

"As for the points for killing monsters of a higher level, they remain unchanged from before."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the command room was stunned.

But it wasn't exactly unexpected.

The number of monsters in the outer area has now dwindled to just over 1,800, only half of what it used to be.

If things remain the same as before, then in six years at most, there probably won't be many monsters left in the outer areas!

Moreover, those who can enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road are the most outstanding geniuses of the entire human race.

After three years of training and elimination, the extraordinary individuals still inside have actually completed the initial adaptation and selection process.

They became familiar with the rules of the Sky Road, and their combat capabilities improved significantly.

They can hunt down most of the monsters of the same level.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the difficulty in such situations.

"Finally, here's the reward for the first phase!"

Luo Feng stepped forward and manipulated the control panel a few times, and the central projection immediately switched the image.

The entire command center's attention was instantly drawn to it.

The specific reward rules are clearly stated above; the top 100 in the first phase will receive rewards.

[Ranked 51-100: 25 Level 4 Origin Potions]

[Ranks 11-50: 10 Level 5 Origin Potions]

【第4到-10名：一级水灵药剂（火源药剂）X5，五级本源药剂X10，五级精神力药剂X10】

[3st Place: 2 Level 2 Water Spirit Potions (Fire Source Potions), 1 Tier 3 Vitality Treasure (worth 5000 points)]

[2st Place: 5 Level 2 Water Spirit Potions (Fire Source Potions), 1 Tier 3 Vitality Treasure (worth 5000 points)]

[1st Place: 10 Level 2 Water Spirit Potions (Fire Source Potions), 1 Tier 3 Vitality Treasure (worth 5000 points)]

Seeing the rewards for the top three, even everyone present couldn't help but show envy.

After all, they didn't have the authority to exchange for either extraordinary potions that could help them comprehend the essence of things or third-tier qi and blood treasures.

But now it's being used directly as a reward.

Luo Feng turned off the projector and looked around at everyone:

"These are all the reward rules. I will update and release all the information I just mentioned."

"Yes!"

Three days later.

When the complete message appeared on the Tianlu certificate, everyone was instantly thrilled.

On the one hand, it's because of the rule change that hunting monsters of the same level no longer earns points, and on the other hand, it's because of the generous rewards that would make anyone's heart race!

The rule changes mean that it will be much more difficult to earn points in the future, which will have a significant impact on those with average skills.

After all, not everyone can fight beyond their level, and even those with second-tier refined artifacts who can fight beyond their level are still few and far between.

There are probably no more than a hundred people who would try to advance beyond their level with their bare hands.

The rewards, however, are what truly make countless people envious.

The top three winners will receive a Tier 3 Qi and Blood Treasure, with the first-place winner receiving a reward worth 10,000 points.

Damn it, there are only a little over two hundred people in the entire outer region who have earned more than 10,000 points in three years.

This reward is equivalent to three years' worth of their earnings.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

As for the threshold for elimination, not many people pay attention to it anymore!
After all, this requirement is far too low.

If you can't even get 1000 points in three years, then it's better to be eliminated directly.

Staying inside would only be a waste of time.

In the safe zone.

Gao Fenghua was also stunned when he saw the list of rewards on the Heavenly Road Certificate.

"so much?"

To be honest, he originally thought that a reward of one or two thousand points would be pretty good!

But to his surprise, it far exceeded his expectations.

The ten bottles of level-two fire source potion are worth five thousand, not to mention the third-tier qi and blood treasure weapon worth five thousand points.

Although the "Blazing Flame" in his hand is only of the third rank, who would complain about having too many magical artifacts?
Even if you don't use it yourself, you can sell it to others.

A level three Qi and Blood Treasure is guaranteed to sell.

"Do you only get points for killing monsters that are higher level than you?"

Seeing this, Gao Fenghua smiled and shook her head.

This is actually a good thing for him.

The number of high-level demonic beasts is already decreasing.

The new rule that hunting monsters of the same level will not earn points is effective in curbing the decline in monster numbers.

In fact, this rule is good news for top talents.

At least they no longer have to worry about the number of monsters decreasing too quickly, making it difficult to earn points in the future!

"However, I will have to spend more time cultivating from now on."

Putting away the Heavenly Road Certificate, Gao Fenhua muttered to himself in a low voice.

His goal is not just to stay in the inner ring area, but to become a Unity Realm cultivator and enter the core area.

Therefore, he cannot waste too much time in the outer areas.

We must break through as soon as possible to enter a higher level and obtain a better cultivation environment.

If he really only wanted to stop at the Grandmaster level, he wouldn't have needed to come to the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road.

In thirty years, even if he were outside, there is a high probability that he could cultivate from the second level of the Transcendent Realm to the ninth level, or even break through to the Unity Realm.

We come to the Heavenly Road seeking to be faster and stronger!
He set himself a goal: to enter the core area within twenty years.

There are still seventeen years left.
Another place.

"A third-tier Qi and Blood Treasure?"

A glint of light flashed in Qi Hui's eyes. He had originally planned to buy a third-tier Qi and Blood Treasure.

Now it seems there's no need for that!

Although it was only the cheapest third-tier Qi and Blood Treasure, it was more than enough for him, and there was no need to buy a better one.

It's better to use these points to buy cultivation resources.

……

At almost the same time, the rewards for the inner ring area were also announced.

Compared to the 100 people in the outer area who can receive the reward, only 20 people in the inner ring area can.

After all, the entire inner ring area only has a population of just over five hundred.

However, the rewards in the inner ring area are greater than those in the outer ring area.

The prize for first place is a top-tier health and vitality artifact worth 20,000 points.

As for who won first place, it was naturally Augustus.

His points reached 50,000.

However, he didn't kill many demonic beasts, only five.

All five of these demonic beasts were at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm.

With just these five demonic beasts, he gained over 40,000 points.

Three years later, there were fewer than 150 monsters left in the entire inner ring area.

It's almost two-thirds less.

Therefore, the competition in the inner ring area is actually quite fierce now.

Apart from the top-tier ninth-level Grandmasters, most Grandmasters were inevitably affected.

It was only because Augustus displayed such immense power that many people would have been eyeing him.

Now that he has obtained a powerful artifact with 20,000 points, even fewer people will dare to provoke him.

After all, no one wants to offend such a top genius unless they are confident of killing him.

……

at the same time.

The external world is also changing rapidly.

On Mars, with the combined efforts of three thousand grandmasters and subsequent reinforcements, the first permanent base, "Hope City," has begun to take shape.

Accommodating several thousand people is no longer a problem!

From near-Earth orbit, a massive, semi-circular dome constructed of a silver-gray special alloy can be seen, resembling an inverted bowl firmly embedded in the rust-red Martian landscape.

The dome surface is covered with the latest solar energy collection film and radiation protection layer, providing continuous energy and protection for the interior.

Beneath the dome are well-planned living areas, research centers, energy stations, and ecological agricultural parks using closed-loop technology, which are already capable of achieving self-sufficiency in basic crops.

One of the base's core achievements is the successful drilling to a depth of 1,000 meters underground, where a stable layer of liquid water was found, and a complete system for water extraction, purification, and recycling was established.

This not only solved the basic need for survival, but also laid the foundation for subsequent expansion and the establishment of an industrial system dependent on water resources.

Inside the central command tower of Hope City, Hai Yunfan stood in front of a huge porthole, gazing at the vast, desolate landscape outside that was so different from Earth.

Over the course of more than two years, while his cultivation level improved to the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm, his engineering practice ability and decision-making ability in extreme environments also greatly improved.

He has now become one of the heads of the base's energy and life support systems.

"Master Hai, the air pressure and radiation shielding layer of the No. 3 dome extension area have completed the final sealing test, and all indicators are better than the design standards!"

A third-stage Transcendent being reported excitedly.

Hai Yunfan looked at the green data flashing on the control panel, a hint of surprise crossing his face.

If the experiment succeeds, Hope City will expand at least five times.

Only then can they truly say they have established a foothold on Mars.
