🕑 Added 2024-10-03 07:56:08 +0000 UTCLin Luoluo didn’t immediately kill Spettare. Instead, she watched as his body was burned to ash, leaving nothing but a charred corpse.
[Martial Master killed, Evolution Points gained: 100,000]
She now had a total of 3.6 million Evolution Points!
From Spettare’s charred remains, traces of blood were still being absorbed into the Soul Severing Sword.
[Absorbing Martial Master’s blood essence, Energy Points gained: 10 points]
[Absorbing Martial Master’s blood essence, Energy Points gained: 10 points]
...
The notifications of gained energy points kept coming.
Not bad!
Now her Energy Points had surpassed ten thousand!
Lin Luoluo deactivated the Hell Cross Array and Bloodthirsty Frenzy states. Although she had consumed a significant amount of blood essence to gain power, after killing so many Martial Masters, her strength had been fully restored.
"This is terrifying..."
Shang Pei felt his scalp tingle. So many Martial Masters, all dead by Lin Luoluo’s sword. And after such a brutal battle, not only had her power not diminished, it seemed to have grown even stronger.
"Could it be because of the energy she gained from the first lotus platform?"
Thinking this, his eyes gleamed with envy.
The other warriors watching from a distance dared not even breathe loudly. Even though Lin Luoluo was standing far from them, her body radiated an intense, eerie energy. The sword in her hand exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Lin Luoluo’s cold gaze swept over the surrounding warriors. As her eyes passed over them, their bodies shuddered involuntarily, and they instinctively took several steps back.
This secret realm, while it indeed contained many treasures, had claimed too many lives.
Even before entering the secret realm, countless warriors had died, and since then, the casualties had only mounted.
Despite the carnage, Lin Luoluo understood that to become strong, this was a path one had to tread. Only by standing out among countless warriors could one become the most powerful.
And she had a goal—she had to become powerful.
Boom boom boom—
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently.
"What’s happening?"
The warriors around her, feeling the vibrations, looked shocked.
"Watch out!"
As the tremors intensified, massive rocks began falling from above!
Boom boom boom—
The surrounding warriors quickly dodged the falling debris.
"It’s over... The secret realm."
Lin Luoluo glanced up as a huge boulder fell toward her. But before it could reach her, a powerful force shattered it into dust. The source energy radiating from her body formed a protective shield, keeping the dust and debris at bay.
Above her, a bright light appeared.
At that moment, everyone’s bodies felt weightless, as though they were being lifted into the air.
"What’s this...?"
The group looked around, bewildered.
As their bodies were lifted, they soon arrived in what felt like a different area, surrounded by white light.
The ground was littered with weapons.
"Congratulations on reaching the final part of the secret realm."
A voice suddenly echoed.
Who is that!?
Startled by the voice, everyone turned to look ahead.
There, they saw a transparent old man with white hair.
Lin Luoluo’s gaze focused on the figure. She could feel a strange and oppressive aura emanating from the old man, something even she found unsettling.
"Who... are you?"
A warrior asked, his face full of awe.
"I am the Guardian of this Secret Realm."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
Guardian of the Secret Realm!?
Shang Pei’s pupils contracted. He had entered this secret realm years ago but had never encountered anything like this—no lotus platforms, no treasures. This time, it seemed as if a plethora of things had appeared.
"From the moment you all entered, I have been observing your every move," the old man said. "Based on your performances, you may now choose items from this place. But be warned, you may not take more than what is allowed."
The old man’s gaze shifted to a group of warriors on the side.
"Those of you who took items earlier, return them from your storage rings."
The old man’s tone was calm, but his eyes sharpened as he spoke.
The warriors in question had hastily snatched treasures and stored them in their rings upon entering.
"We didn’t take anything," one of the warriors denied immediately.
But as soon as they spoke, the old man waved his hand.
In an instant, their storage rings flew off their fingers, and all the treasures they had hidden floated into the air.
The warriors' eyes widened in shock.
"Goodbye."
The old man smiled. In the next moment, their bodies disintegrated into dust, as if blown away by the wind.
Everyone else froze in fear.
Those warriors... had they just vanished!?
"Are they dead?"
A warrior gulped nervously.
Among the vanished warriors were Martial Masters. To see them reduced to dust so easily was terrifying beyond words.
Even Lin Luoluo, who had fought and killed numerous Martial Masters, had needed time to defeat them.
"No, I merely sent them away," the old man chuckled.
"Now, each of you may choose one treasure from here. After you’ve chosen, you will be transported out of the secret realm."
"However, those I name may choose three treasures," the old man added.
He then pointed to a dozen warriors, allowing them to select three treasures.
While the others were limited to one choice, they quickly accepted it. After all, having something was better than nothing.
"You, come here," the old man called, turning his gaze to Lin Luoluo.
"What is this old man up to?" Ye Fan muttered curiously.
Lin Luoluo was slightly taken aback but, after a brief hesitation, followed the old man deeper into the area.
"What does he want with her?"
Shang Pei and the other warriors watched with confusion in their eyes.
