Chapter 998: Chapter 533: Inside and Outside the Secret Realm, Evolving Guardian Angel (5K)_3
“Go!”
“Ah?”
“With the Nether Crow Sophia present, if we don’t leave now, we might not get a chance to escape! Don’t forget, brother, we both are still high on the wanted list in Tai Xuan.”
Exploring the Secret Realm often required backing from the outside for protection.
But Tianyuan City was the backing in itself, an ancestor-level backing.
Seeing the squad reach the intended area, Mu Yuan withdrew his gaze.
He didn’t have the time or energy to keep his attention there, with Deng Long commanding nearby and Lu Liu and Dead Bone providing oversight from a distance, nothing could problematize the matter.
The Starry Sky Gate would also soon be anchored.
Mu Yuan was more concerned about the affairs of the neighboring Great Domain; according to his estimate, relying solely on Sario’s Nine Great Legendaries, the probability of defeating the Orochi Servant was only at 45%, and the possibility of killing the Orochi Servant was even lower, at 1.1%.
If they located the Orochi Servant, the Great Lord Shepherd would initiate the backup plan.
It was time to reveal a little of his power.
However,
One day, two days, three days, several days passed, and Sario’s squad made no gains.
Not to mention seeing the Orochi Servant itself, they hadn’t even glimpsed its avatar or a single scale.
Naturally, Sario and his team couldn’t just stay in the Shen Luo Domain forever; that would be too wasteful of time.
“If we really can’t find it, let’s just take the payment and return.”
On the other hand,
The elites of Tianyuan City were venturing within the World Secret Realm and had brought back firsthand intelligence.
“The Secret Realm itself holds no direct danger, danger comes from the other competitors, as well as the Wisdom Monsters exploring the Secret Realm.”
These Wisdom Monsters were strong, not from some large tribes.
Mu Yuan, who had faced monster powers of various levels, knew very well that though Fourth-order Monsters were considered ‘fodder’, there were still differences in their strength.
And within the Secret Realm, loads of Fourth-order Monsters were tribe chieftain-level powerhouses.
Their strength was formidable, and they were numerous; human… explorers of living beings were, in fact, at a disadvantage, which is why conflicts among creatures rarely occurred, unless a treasure was in question.
“The Secret Realm is safe, but many treasures in it require sufficient strength to be acquired.”
For instance, some treasures required crossing a channel of magma;
some treasures continuously shifted their locations;
some treasures required one to endure psychic coercion to get close;
And in certain special areas, one must possess extreme strength to proceed.
This was also why the alliance analyzed that reaching the depths of the Secret Realm was possible only at Heaven and Earth Realm or even Soul Realm, Law Realm levels.
“The Exploratory Team has obtained some Superior-grade treasures, not many, since the treasures at the outskirts had been taken by the previous batches of explorers.”
“However, once the Secret Realm can accommodate those in the Legendary Realm, we can compete for them.”
Thus, Mu Yuan called Sario back.
Lu Liu was already on standby; he was one of the top strongest in the Heaven and Earth Realm of Tianyuan City.
Mu Yuan had a bit of confidence regarding the conflicts within the World Secret Realm.
However,
He had just stepped out into the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion when, in the next moment, he rose straight up into the sky.
“Step.”
Mu Yuan stood high in the air, on the dome of the Miracle Building, the Staff of Divine Right.
“Lord’s Stance – Enhance Mode.”
Whoosh–
Great Force surged forth from within his body, and behind Mu Yuan, the Starry Eyes manifested. His pupils scanned the surroundings, gazing at the landscapes hundreds to thousands of miles away.
He frowned.
“I had a vague feeling that someone was spying, but even with the demeanor of a lord, I couldn’t detect it. Could it be because of the great distance?”
“Could it be surveillance through some conceptual power, across the Great Domain?”
He pondered.
But he couldn’t come to a conclusion.
These days, he had vaguely sensed surveillance, as if prompted by intuition, or perhaps it was an illusion.
Mu Yuan trusted his intuitive judgment.
“Heading to the World Secret Realm for exploration during the Heaven and Earth Realm period, Lu Liu, Sophia, and Tree Demon Granny will be the main forces. But if the secret realm is open to a level that the Soul Realm could pass through, then…”
Lu Liu and Tree Demon Granny, these strongmen, might not be enough.
They were world-class strongmen. However, as new talents constantly emerged in the Eternal World, Mu Yuan would not assume that there were no competitors left in the Soul Realm for Lu Liu and others just because he had killed a few Grand Dukes of the Hunt.
The waters in this world were deep!
He had not yet seen the peak Soul Realm strongmen.
By that time, Dead Bone, Duo Lai, himself, and Isloa, these Soul Realm strongmen, might also have to join in.
Some benefits and opportunities within the secret realm could only be obtained by going there personally.
But if they all went to explore the secret realm, there would be nobody left to guard Tianyuan City.
At least one T0 strongman needed to stay to guard.
“But for Dead Bone, Duo Lai, or even Isloa, this exploration is a rare opportunity that should not be missed.”
“So…”
Mu Yuan took a deep look towards the end of the sky and then floated down into the air.
Whoosh—
Pat.
He fell like a meteor. As he neared the ground, his body became as light as a feather.
He gracefully landed not far in front of City Lord’s Mansion, before a majestic, noble, sacred statue.
The Guardian Angel statue.
“Lapis.”
He called the name of the angel.
“I am here.”
The Six-Wing Angel statue immediately shrank and transformed into a majestic angel in battle armor, kneeling on one knee.
“Master, what do you command?”
Just like when it had been first created, the Six-Wing Angel Lapis had no expression, and her voice was as unemotional as a machine.
Apart from a slight increase in strength, this Guardian Angel remained unchanged, cold and unalive.
Even though Duo Lai had stuffed her with a lot of food and taken her around, it didn’t give her even a hint of clarity or foolishness.
“If the evolved Guardian Angel could have a significant increase in strength, she could be left to guard the realm. Otherwise, Duo Lai, or Dead Bone, or myself, at least one of us must stay behind to guard the territory.”
He beckoned, and the Guardian Angel followed him into the Dragon Mound Secret Realm.
Hum—
The Tianyuan City enchantment activated, and preparations were set in motion.
“Evo-power -500W!”
The Miracle Evolution Power cascaded down.
A pure white light soared into the sky.
In the light, the formerly expressionless Six-Wing Angel Lapis seemed to finally come alive a bit.
At the same time, at City Lord’s Mansion, the base of the angel also glowed, beginning to slowly transform.
“Warning: Epic Building ‘Guardian Angel’ is receiving special power infusion, advancing…”
