I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Meanwhile, Grey Harbor City is also preparing for battle.

Grey Harbor City reveres individualism and heroism, and many strong individuals have emerged from this modern city.

After figuring out the entry rules for the Land of Revelation, the Gray Harbor City leadership allocated resources to cultivate a group of elite warriors at the Third Refinement Realm. Meanwhile, at the Gray Harbor City Council...

"The Transcendent Realm and Third Refinement Realm participants have been selected, led by 'Neutron Star Aaron' and 'Storm Daughter Lyra'. Is that alright?"

A middle-aged man spoke up.

The other senior executives had no objections.

Neutron Star and Storm's Daughter are both mid-stage Transcendent beings, rising stars in Gray Harbor City. Their innate talents are top-notch, and they have the support of those at the Transformation Realm. They have already mastered several rare spells, consumed numerous secret elixirs, and possess a complete set of magical artifacts.

Even killing a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert is not a difficult task for them.

"This time, we not only want to obtain the opportunities and wonders within the Land of Revelation, but also to directly overwhelm the entire Tiannan City through competitions and drills, and seize the opportunities and treasures within the region to the greatest extent possible."

"We must make the people of Great Xia understand that only under the leadership of our Gray Harbor City can our Blue Star civilization escape this nightmare world." "However, it should not be underestimated that the strong in Tiannan City are not weak either. They also have their top geniuses."

Tiannan City has a much larger population than their Gray Harbor City, giving it a greater chance of producing geniuses.

However, Tiannan City is too foolish. They don't know how to make use of their advantages at all, and they can't even bear to conduct human experiments.

Their Grey Harbor City is different.

"The second generation of the Z-drug has been developed. It is more effective and has fewer side effects. It is sufficient for our needs."

A person from a large corporation, who had achieved the highest level of perfection, spoke up.

"Indeed." The powerful figure seated at the head of the table nodded. "With the injection of the Z-potion, our superhumans will experience a tremendous boost, enhancing their physical strength, magical power, and even innate abilities. This massive improvement will be enough to crush the superhumans of Tiannan City."

"However, the Z-potion has significant side effects, and many of the extraordinary beings are the backbone of our Gray Harbor City..."

Leaving aside those from distant past, individuals with impressive backgrounds like Neutron Star and Storm Maiden would certainly not inject themselves with a drug that would jeopardize their future. Therefore, there are two types of candidates for the Transcendent Realm: one is the selected geniuses and strong individuals, and the other is the "Consumable Transcendent" individuals who are prepared to receive the drug.

They prepared a full ten extraordinary individuals as consumables!

These extraordinary individuals were also forcibly elevated through drugs, and had little potential left. The higher-ups in Gray Harbor City weren't too concerned about expending resources on such individuals.

"The refining stage below the Transcendent Realm is much simpler. Except for a few selected elites, the rest are just consumables. They will be injected with T-potion at that time."

Agent T is much worse than Agent Z and is suitable for the refining stage.

Although the T-potion has huge side effects, and the Dream Fallen will either die on the spot or be seriously injured after the effect ends, its use in the Refinement stage brings a much greater boost to the Dream Fallen's combat power.

After being injected with the T-drug, the Dreamer's strength, speed, and magical power will far exceed the limits of ordinary people.

Furthermore, the consumables required for T-potion are easier to find; even an ordinary cultivator at the first level of cultivation can serve as a consumable.

"However, the combat power of the Dreamers largely depends on the development of cursed artifacts and the mastery and application of curses. Otherwise, we could simply inject ordinary people with T-potions, which would be much cheaper."

They did try, but even ordinary people with strength and speed surpassing the peak of the Third Refinement Realm are mostly powerless against spells.

The former is like a burly man with his bare hands, while the latter is a soldier wearing full armor and wielding sharp weapons.

Now, Grey Harbor City is preparing to inject its trained soldiers with T-potions to create invincible warriors.

On the surface, they are the elite of the selected dream-fallen individuals.

The hidden force is these mutant warriors equipped with the drug.

But this is not their ultimate weapon.

Tiannan City has also prepared some secret weapons.

The rules of the Land of Revelation limit the number of people allowed to enter and the level of those who can enter; the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm is considered the peak.

"But this competition is not only about the strength of the geniuses in each city, but also about the foundation and methods of each city."

The higher-ups in Tiannan City had naturally begun preparing their trump cards several months ago.

For example, mechs.

However, it must be a cursed mech that is not considered an external force.

"The mechs 'Crimson Lotus,' 'Winter Snow,' 'Breaking Army,' and 'Black Crow' are ready."

Safe zone.

Shi An has full confidence in the combat capabilities of his own representatives.

but,

He also knew that powerful forces in the modern world, such as Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City, would inevitably use external forces.

The Transcendent Realm is very strong, and there are not many ways to greatly increase combat power on this basis. But the Refinement Realm is different. A peak Third Refinement Realm cultivator could be swept away and killed by a charging gun if he is not careful.

Without cultivating incantations to a high level, the power displayed in the Third Refinement Realm is not very strong.

External forces can greatly enhance the refining stage.

Shi An remembered that there were mechs in Tiannan City, although those mechs were more like weapons of war than personal weapons.

"However, the top-ranked Third Refinement Realm cultivators in my safe zone are all far beyond the ordinary Third Refinement Realm."

"Many of them have even mastered one or two ordinary spells to an extraordinary level. They have also learned more than one rare spell."

The foundation of Grey Harbor City must be very strong. Some of the Third Refinement Realm cultivators have been practicing for a long time, but they can't treat spell scrolls like rice and bread, so they can't possibly have cultivated spells to such a profound level.

It's important to know that most common spells in the safe zone now only require 30 contribution points to comprehend once.

Senior members can meditate on it several times a day without any problem.

After thinking for a moment, Shi An launched a discount campaign.

"Consider it a reward for being selected for the battle. During this period, all contribution points they need to exchange for spell scrolls will be discounted by 30%." For example, rare spells like the Spell Armor, which are in very large stock, only require 100 contribution points to comprehend once, which is extremely cheap.

After the discount, it only costs 70 contribution points.

Shi An believes that members will go crazy once this discount reward is launched.

"However, for those at the Third Refinement Realm, the consumption of the Cursed Power Armor is still too great; it's difficult for them to have the armor cover their entire body."

"willing……"

Shi An thought for a moment: "We can have the pharmacist Tan modify the Might Potion and Frenzy Potion to refine a batch of temporary enhancement potions that can be used by those in the Third Refinement Realm. Hmm, the Berserk Potion can also be improved."

"These potions, even setting aside those from the members who supported this battle, should sell quite a few on ordinary days."

He opened the list and realized that his own store also had a lot of temporary buff potions.

There are more than ten kinds.

The most powerful are the Might Potion and the Frenzy Potion.

Especially now that the safe zone has produced many high-quality potions, these potions are highly effective with very few side effects, making them very popular among members. Members carry several with them regardless of whether they actually need them.

It's just that Shi An herself rarely uses it and almost forgot about it.

"At that time, we'll provide the participating member representatives with a batch of potions and various items free of charge. Hmm, we'll also lend a set of magical artifacts to those at the Third Refinement Realm. Under these circumstances, as long as there's a possibility of conquering this Land of Revelation, our safe zone members will also have the power to conquer it, right?"

In each area of ​​the safe zone, the members who stood out from the selection process live the same daily lives as usual.

Because I usually have nightmares and train, I seize every opportunity to become stronger.

at this time,

Inside a mirrored space in the martial arts arena, Xuanjian was facing three strange late-stage Transcendent Realm experts.

The difference between the mid-term and late-term is huge; the range of his bizarre and extraordinary abilities is two or three times, or even more, greater.

A strange statue spews demonic fire.

In an instant, dozens of enormous fireballs hurtled towards us.

"But the pressure wasn't as great as when I was facing my perfect clone."

The Xuan Sword passed directly through the gaps in the fireball, and fine prisms appeared on his body surface—the fragmented application of the cursed power armor. After reaching the mastery level, this cursed art was no longer limited to the form of armor.

In Xuanjian's hands, he only consumed the minimum amount of spell power, making several small spell power shields appear precisely where needed.

Boom boom boom~!

The aftershocks of the demonic fire were blocked, and the Xuan Sword passed through the sea of ​​fire without getting its hem dirty.

He moved with the Phantom Step, even dancing on the edge of a knife amidst the bizarre combined attack of three late-stage Transcendent Realm experts.

He trained himself in this way!

Through trials by martial arts and the bizarre and extraordinary, and after experiencing countless failures and deaths, Xuanjian found that even in such "desperate situations," he gradually adapted. He even felt that the pressure was not enough.

"I'm actually that strong?"

"No, it's the training ground that has provided such a significant boost, but I'm still being crushed by the perfect clone, which means I still have a lot of room for improvement. Continue!"

Xuan Jian used to think that his combat experience and skills were not bad, but looking at it from his current perspective, he only felt that his past self had flaws everywhere in battle.

Moreover, what he possesses now goes far beyond combat skills.

A sword strike in an instant...

"boom!"

A strange, nascent demonic flame exploded in mid-air, and Xuanjian manipulated this instantaneous strike, making eleven turns in mid-air. He passed through the gaps in the bizarre killing move and pierced directly through the eerie eyeball.

Half an hour later, the three late-stage Transcendent Realm experts collapsed mysteriously.

Xuanjian was panting, but his armor was not badly damaged.

In another space, Xi Xue was also engaged in a fierce battle.

She didn't have any fancy techniques; all she had was power accumulated to its peak.

Left fist, high damage.

Right fist, high damage.

"Explosive Flame Fist!"

"Frost Fist!"

"Explosive Frost Fist!"

Ice and fire clashed, creating a hymn to death.

A terrifying shockwave raged through the training space, rapidly engulfing the three late-stage Transcendent Realm beings and continuously extinguishing their life force. After a long while, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated…

"Ahem!"

Xi Xue climbed out of the ruins; the magical armor she had conjured was tattered and torn.

However, even more tattered than her armor were the three completely destroyed extraordinary and bizarre figures.

"I did it! This genius's self-created killing move is complete! Hahahaha~!"

So Xi Xue went to challenge the perfect martial artist.

Ten seconds later, Xi Xue walked out of the training ground with a dark expression.

Martial Arts Training Space No. 1.

Three eerie late-stage Transcendent beings stood before Shi An.

The three eerie figures had already pounced on them, some unleashing a barrage of fiery meteors, others emitting eerie gazes from their eye sockets. Shi An simply stood still.

Crackling sounds

The Thousand Transformations Umbrella in his hand transformed into a sword-shaped magical artifact, and at the same time, mysterious and eerie patterns spread out from the sword.

Life-Slaying Rune!

Shi An's internal magical power surged, far exceeding that of others of the same level, and flowed into the sword, condensing into a dazzling sword beam several meters long on the blade. Earth-Splitting Slash!

Before he could even unleash his attack, ten strands of "qi" as thin as hair appeared around Shi An's body.

This is the aura surrounding the incantation.

The beginner-level aura can accumulate a total of ten strands of special aura.

A trace of "cursed energy" merged into the Earth-Splitting Slash.

Shi An slashed out.

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed a second sword strike 0.3 seconds later.

Then, without hesitation, he unleashed a third sword strike.

Three sword energies were unleashed in succession, extinguishing the sea of ​​fire and shattering the gaze, before slashing across the three eerie late-stage Transcendent beings.

boom!

A thin line first appeared on the three enormous, bizarre bodies, and then the three bizarre bodies exploded one after another. Chunks of flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and a rain of blood fell in the training ground.

In an instant, these three extraordinary late-stage Transcendent beings died on the spot.

They were instantly defeated.

"good."

"With the amplification from the surrounding curse energy, the Life-Slaying talent has also been significantly enhanced."

"Now, without using the power of conviction, could I exchange a few blows with a strange being in the Ascending Transformation Realm?"

He felt he could do it.

Although Shi An couldn't even last a few moves against his perfect clone.

The martial arts performers in the training ground are categorized into three levels: ordinary martial arts performers, elite martial arts performers, and perfect martial arts performers.

After defeating the Perfect Martial Artist, you will have the opportunity to awaken for the second time.

Shi An can only defeat ordinary martial arts students, mainly because his abilities are too strong, and his clone is naturally as strong as if he has cheated.

"But Little Blood and the others are relatively weak, and they still haven't been able to beat Perfect Martial Artist."

This perfect martial arts performance is also open to senior members, but the "All Martial Arts Initiation" program has not been mentioned.

To this day, none of the members know about this project.

Because no one can defeat the perfect martial artist.

Let alone defeating him, very few people can even withstand ten moves from a perfect martial artist.

"I haven't figured out yet whether the All Martial Arts Initiation can definitely awaken a superhuman's innate talent a second time. But even if it can... I estimate that very few people will have the opportunity to receive the All Martial Arts Initiation in the future."

The Perfect Martial Artist is a powerful being simulated based on the extraordinary individual.

Moreover, the power was used perfectly, and the operation was pushed to the extreme.

The stronger the extraordinary individuals are, the stronger the martial artists become.

Without sufficient talent and aptitude, even at the Transcendent Realm or the Ascending Realm, one might never be able to defeat a Perfect Martial Artist in their entire life.

Shi An had given up on himself; he could only hope that Xiao Xue and Ming Yi could clear the game as soon as possible.

During this time,

During this period, Li Feng and Ji Gui have been cultivating excellent-level spells. With Shi An's almost unlimited supply of spell scrolls, their progress is also very rapid.

Each of them has already mastered the superior-level spells to the proficient level.

That's enough.

It's impossible to reach the proficiency level in a short time, let alone the pinnacle. With just an extraordinary physique, one probably wouldn't even qualify. "The proficient level of spell energy aura can accumulate up to 50 strands of spell energy, and can fuse ten strands of spell energy into one, greatly enhancing instantaneous burst power."

"The Eye of Clarity can see the flow of magical power and predict the enemy's attack, which is also a key to defeating the strong with the weak."

"This strength and this setup are more than enough to challenge a true Ascension Realm monster!"

Li Feng Si Gui's combat power has not yet reached the limit of the extraordinary realm.

However, Shi An believed that they already had the strength to fight.

At least we can give it a try and see the difference between them and the bizarre transformation realm.

Even if they can't win, Lifeng and the others can retreat to the safe zone at any time, and he can close the gate to the safe zone, and nothing will happen.

稳~

Shi An's chosen target was a location on the outskirts of the Pale Wasteland.

Here, a terrifying and eerie creature dwells.

The lord type is bizarre.

However, based on all the clues, Shi An could determine that the territory ruled by this strange being was not large. This indicated that this strange being was relatively ordinary among those at the Ascension Realm, making it an easy target.

Pale wasteland, tulip district.

This area is relatively close to Baijiang City, and many of the Dreamers of Baijiang City are active in the surrounding neighborhoods.

For this reason, the map of the safe zone in the southern part of this pale wasteland is very detailed, marking many areas that have been conquered and dangerous areas that are recommended to be avoided.

at this time,

A ten-man squad is resting somewhere in the ruins.

The captain took out the map and examined it. "About two kilometers ahead, there is a huge and strange group of more than three hundred people. This marker was just confirmed two days ago and its accuracy is extremely high. We must detour."

The captain moved his fingertips to the upper right and then shook his head.

"Captain, what if we go around via Tianshui Street?"

"No, Tianshui Street is too close to that place. Although theoretically there's no danger, we can't take the risk. Because if something happens in that area, not only us, but even those at the Transcendent Realm would be doomed."

Members who frequent the Tulip Street area know that there is a forbidden zone there!

They had also used witchcraft to see from afar.

It was a gigantic, terrifying octopus-like creature perched atop the building, almost completely enveloping the upper part. Even just seeing it from afar, even through the sorcery of the flying eyes, sent chills down their spines.

It's as if looking at it for even a second would make you faint.

While the team was still debating which route to take, suddenly...

"boom!!"

A deafening roar came from the direction of Tianshui Street.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, their first thought being—had the strange king in that forbidden zone awakened?

They quickly sent a magical eye into the air.

Once the wizard's teleportation reached a high vantage point, with no buildings obstructing his view, he could see it in the distance...

At the top of the distant building, the giant octopus that had been dormant for so long has awakened.

On its whiskers, thousands upon thousands of eyes opened.

Lord One-Ten-Thousand-Eyed Octopus.
