Someone spotted a white warhorse descending from the sky in the distance. It seemed to soar through the air with thunderous power, and atop it rode a young man in white robes, exuding an overwhelming aura. The sight captured everyone's attention, causing their expressions to turn into ones of awe.“It’s Greg!”The crowd was astonished, not truly expecting Greg to appear.“He’s already broken through to the Nascent Stage and reached the Astral Stage!” an old man exclaimed.Others were equally shocked. The presence of such a prodigy made people widen their eyes in awe. Greg was an extraordinary genius, unmatched by ordinary individuals.The crowd’s expressions grew complicated. With such a prodigy among them, they felt they had little chance of competing for the treasures within the secret realm. The thought alone brought a pang of bitterness. Such a genius was truly intimidating.“Who do you think is stronger? Adrian or Greg?” Suddenly, someone’s voice cut through the murmurs.Th
"Don't do it, Tyron. That guy’s not just a genius, but far from ordinary. If you face him now, you'll lose for sure," Adrian warned. It felt as though someone had purposely set him up to confront this highly favored individual. Naturally, Adrian remained cautious."So what? Should we just let him provoke us? It's completely intolerable!" Tyron retorted.Adrian shared the frustration. Being provoked like this was unsettling for anyone, but he knew they couldn't act rashly. He and Tyron communicated telepathically, so no one else could hear."Greg, what do you think you're doing?" Bryn suddenly appeared and demanded, his expression dark. He had expected someone might push Greg into a confrontation with Adrian today. Adrian had been getting a lot of attention lately, while Greg was notoriously proud. If the two fought, one of them would surely be seriously injured or even die, and that would be a disaster.The Universe Alliance couldn't allow such a clash. Both Adrian and Greg were im
Bryn noticed the cold look in Greg’s eyes and frowned slightly. There were too many things beyond his control—this was the nature of geniuses, often swayed by their pride.Sweeping his gaze over the crowd, Bryn said, "Since you're all here, I will open the gate to the secret realm. Remember, you have only one month inside. After that, I will summon you, and when I do, do not resist."If anyone gets trapped inside, we will be powerless to help. The secret realm is dangerous, and one wrong move could cost your life. This is your last chance to reconsider. If anyone wants to withdraw, now is the time."Many hesitated. Bryn’s warning reminded them how treacherous the secret realm could be, and survival would require exceptional skill."We’re willing to try," one young man declared boldly.Bryn smiled faintly at the show of determination. "I’m glad to see your resolve but remember, just do your best to stay alive. Now, step forward."Suddenly, the ground began to tremble as green rays
Revealing one’s aura was no small matter. If there was anything suspicious about someone's aura, wouldn’t Bryn eliminate them on the spot? Everyone was eager to enter the secret realm and seize spiritual treasures to advance their strength.Most weren’t too concerned about releasing their aura. Unless they were daemons, they had nothing to fear. With this in mind, many accepted the situation, though some hesitated to release their aura completely.Suddenly, one person took the lead, fully revealing their aura, surprising the crowd. Bryn scanned the area as if searching for something. Adrian, too, was surveying the surroundings, clearly looking for Oscar.Noticing this, Tyron asked in surprise, "Adrian, are you looking for Oscar? Could he be hiding in the crowd?"Adrian nodded. "I sensed his aura earlier. I’m not sure if he’s here, but if he reveals his aura, I’ll know, and I’ll kill him on the spot."Tyron smiled. "Adrian, no need to be so tense. I suspect Oscar has some kind of t
Adrian's gaze was sharp and determined. He intended to enter the abyss and obtain the Prism Stone beneath the Phoenix Tree. Although he wasn’t entirely sure of the Universe Alliance’s interest in the stone, he guessed it was extremely important. However, he doubted they were relying on him alone; they had also sent Greg with the same goal.Finding the treasure would depend on their abilities and luck. Adrian sensed that Greg harbored significant resentment toward him. If Greg tried to harm him, Adrian wouldn’t show any mercy.As the crowd surged into the rift, Adrian stayed behind, watching the void. He understood that timing mattered—those who entered first might secure the most treasures, while those who came later could face the toughest challenges. Ultimately, it all came down to fate, as everyone’s fortune varied.As time passed, two-thirds of the people in the square had already entered. Only a few dozen remained, and Adrian hadn’t seen Oscar among them. He was certain Oscar w
Adrian chuckled lightly. “Tyron, there’s no need to be so anxious. We’re here to experience something. If nothing happens, entering this place would be pointless, wouldn’t it?”Tyron smiled faintly. “Haha, your mindset is admirable, Adrian.”As they were rapidly transported through the realm, gale winds swirled around them, but neither seemed alarmed, assuming this was a result of the powerful spatial teleportation waves. They soon arrived in a void-like space, with flashes of light sparkling around them. The environment seemed ominous, and Adrian’s expression grew cold.“It seems we’ve arrived in a place that’s far from ordinary,” Adrian remarked, surveying the surroundings.Meanwhile, Tyron was quietly astonished. Wasn’t this supposed to be the secret realm? Why were they met with such strangeness instead of a defined space?As Tyron pondered, Adrian seemed to sense something unusual.“Adrian, do you have a plan?” Tyron asked.Adrian gave a slight smile and looked at Tyron. “I
Tyron watched in disbelief as waves of energy shattered the space around them, creating a truly terrifying sight.Adrian sneered and said, "Trying to stop me? You'd better have the strength to back it up."Tyron, awestruck, responded, "Adrian, your power is incredible. I wouldn’t dare oppose you. If I tried, I’d probably be dead."Adrian paused briefly before replying, "Let’s go."Calmly, the two of them stepped into the void. The formation around them collapsed instantly, and they descended from a great height. They quickly adjusted their stances as they fell. Below them, a vast forest came into view, filled with occasional low growls. It seemed the forest was teeming with dangerous beasts. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the pair suppressed their energy, choosing to stay low-key in the secret realm. With such dangerous creatures around, acting boldly could lead to a swift demise.Adrian’s goal was to find the Prism Stone, though he had no idea where it was. The Universe Alliance h
Tyron was taken aback by Adrian's impulsive plan. The situation seemed precarious, and any mistake could be disastrous.Adrian smiled faintly and said, "Tyron, sometimes you have to take risks to gain rewards. We'll stay at a safe distance. We can’t afford to advance recklessly."This cautious approach seemed wise. Tyron hesitated but understood Adrian’s underlying message: observe from a distance and act only if an opportunity arose. After a moment’s consideration, Tyron nodded.As the pair moved forward cautiously, they soon felt the tremors of a fierce battle ahead. The sounds of a brutal clash echoed through the forest, with the ground shaking as if the surroundings were on the brink of destruction.They drew closer and sensed the immense power at play. Adrian stopped by a large tree and, feeling the overwhelming force, grasped Tyron's arm. "We shouldn’t advance any further. Look." He pointed into the distance.Tyron saw two colossal figures locked in battle—a Crimson Blood Py
