90: Show weakness and conceal your strength to break the demon's lair

Zhang Sheng's aura exploded like a clap of thunder!

The Swift Dragons guarding the Secret Realm were instantly alerted, turning in unison to fly toward his position.

High in the sky, Zhang Sheng held his spear in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally toward the ground.

His body dived vertically like a falling star!

His downward momentum stirred up a piercing gale, as silver moon blades of various sizes materialized out of thin air, interwoven with blinding flashes of lightning, and shot out in all directions around him!

Everything within ten thousand meters was under the shroud of his Divine Sense.

The moon blades were unstoppable; wherever they passed, the Swift Dragons were either killed or wounded!

This area was once again constructed into a Domain of death by the Thunder Moon Slash!

Occasionally, crimson light beams spat by the Swift Dragons hit him, but they couldn't even shake the eighty-one layers of Spirit Shields around him.

Although this Spirit Shield was only a first-tier Spell of the Qi Sea Realm, Zhang Sheng had Cultivated it to the Perfected State, making it more than enough to defend against attacks from ordinary Divine Breath Realm entities.

Zhang Sheng repeated his old trick, deliberately leaving some Swift Dragons for close-quarters combat to hone his spear techniques through actual combat, pushing the Realm of his Mountain-Shattering Three Extremes Spear.

"Skill: Mountain-Shattering Three Extremes Spear (Proficient: 5/10,000)"

...While slaying the Swift Dragons, he steadily approached the entrance of the Secret Realm.

In front of the Secret Realm's gate, five expressionless Indians were coldly watching Zhang Sheng's battle.

Their abnormality had already been detected by Zhang Sheng's Divine Sense—these were Puppets controlled by Spirit-Entrapping Worms! The Insect Emperor was peering at this slaughter through these "eyes."

Swift Dragons continued to fall under the silver moon blades.

Zhang Sheng's deliberate honing of his spear techniques certainly gave the Parasitic God Insect Emperor more time to observe, but it also successfully hid his true strength.

Unlike the last time in Rajshahi, this time the Insect Emperor's eyes were fixed on him! Zhang Sheng quietly stopped the circulation of his Primordial Chaos Qi Refining, cutting off the channels for his body to automatically recover Qi.

Not only that, as the battle continued, he deliberately suppressed his Qi fluctuations, creating the illusion that his Qi was about to be exhausted.

Seeing that the guarding Swift Dragons were almost all dead or wounded, with less than twenty percent remaining and scattering in flight.

The time had come!

Zhang Sheng's figure was like lightning as he charged straight for the Secret Realm's gate, roaring like thunder, "You damned Human Race traitors, give me your lives!"

Several sharp silver moon blades tore through the air, slashing straight at those five Indians!

As a second-tier perfected offensive secret art, the Thunder Moon Slash was difficult for even Divine Breath Realm Beasts to withstand, let alone these Cultivators parasitized by Spirit-Entrapping Worms.

Cold light flashed, and heads rolled like autumn leaves!

At the last moment before their consciousness faded, Zhang Sheng's figure vanishing into the Secret Realm was reflected in the Puppets' eyes.

Somewhere unknown, the Parasitic God Insect Emperor's furious voice echoed in its consciousness: "Stupid human! How dare you so arrogantly clear out my Secret Realm!"

"With such strength... he must have come into contact with the myriad worlds pearl projection in advance! The star ring must also be in his hands!"

"I was just wondering how to find you, and yet you walk right into the trap! Utterly foolish!"

"I'll make sure you never return!"

At this moment, in New New Delhi, next to the leader of the Swift Dragons, "Wing Heaven," a Qi Sea Realm Swift Dragon suddenly spoke in a low tone:

"Wing Heaven, the holder of the star ring has appeared and is attacking the second Blue-level Secret Realm in this country."

"Lord Insect Emperor? Doesn't the Secret Realm have a guarding force?"

"Wing Heaven, this person's strength is formidable; less than one-tenth of the garrison remains. Immediately mobilize all forces under your command to set a dragnet at the Secret Realm entrance! You must kill this person and reclaim the star ring!"

Once the star ring was controlled, it would be possible to influence the pace of subsequent Secret Realm descents, making it as easy as turning over a hand to destroy human civilization and occupy Earth!

"Understood, Lord Insect Emperor! I will arrange it immediately!"

"Wing Heaven! I want you to personally deal with him! Do you understand?"

Wing Heaven's narrow dragon eyes squinted, a cold light flashing through them: "Insect Emperor... this time, I'll listen to you."

The Qi Sea Realm Swift Dragon controlled by the Spirit-Entrapping Worm instantly returned to its dull state.

Wing Heaven suddenly spat out a mass of flames, burning it to ashes.

"Damned parasite! You really think you're the Insect Emperor?"

"A piece of trash that only knows how to hide!"

"Wait until I Breakthrough to the True Embryo and refine my True Body, I will find your main body and roast you on a skewer!"

"Boys! Follow me! Let's see what this human is capable of!"

A sharp dragon roar resounded for miles! Tens of thousands of Swift Dragons currently preying on humans all stopped their claws, gathering like a cloud that blotted out the sun, and flew rapidly toward the Secret Realm!

Among the ranks, there were several newly promoted Divine Breath Realm Swift Dragons!

Inside the Secret Realm,

Zhang Sheng looked around.

Before him were continuous steep mountain ranges, where towering ancient trees were shrouded in Spiritual Qi and miasma, and the rich Spiritual Qi nourished rare and precious herbs everywhere.

In the distant forest, a few ape-like Yao Beasts could be seen climbing and jumping among the branches, full of vitality and showing no signs of having been suppressed.

Limited by the rules of the Secret Realm, Yao Beasts that descended into the mortal world could not enter this place, and even Puppets controlled by Spirit-Entrapping Worms were no exception.

Checking the time, there were still twelve hours left until the deadline agreed upon with Commander Wang.

Plenty of time!

"This time, I will push the Mountain-Shattering Three Extremes Spear to the Transcendent level!"

Zhang Sheng put away the Thunder Moon Slash, maintaining only the eighty-one layers of Spirit Shields for protection, and held his spear to meet the demon apes rushing from the mountain forest.

These demon apes were pitch black all over, their fur glinting with a cold metallic luster; the higher their Realm, the deeper and sharper that luster became.

According to the "Yao Beast Compendium," these were Iron-Backed Black Apes, naturally fierce and brutal.

Their temperament didn't matter—once a human stepped into a Secret Realm, they automatically became a target for hunting; this was the iron rule of the Secret Realm!

Zhang Sheng actively released his Qi aura to attract the demon apes to besiege him.

A Qi Sea Realm demon ape was over ten feet tall, and with the support of the Talent Spell "Bronze Skin and Iron Bones," its Physical Body was powerful, and it preferred close-quarters combat. It was the perfect sparring partner for honing spear techniques!

Spear shadows flew as one demon ape after another died under the spear, and his spear technique Realm soared accordingly. Even the three-zhang-tall, terrifying Divine Breath Realm Iron-Backed Black Apes eventually could not escape the fate of becoming souls under his spear.

"Skill: Mountain-Shattering Three Extremes Spear (Proficient: 6,741/10,000)"

...Nowadays, although the drop probability for killing Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts had decreased, every Jade Slip containing a Cultivation Technique was extremely precious.

Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beasts basically no longer dropped items. All spoils were collected by Zhang Sheng into his storage ring.

The Divine Breath Realm Iron-Backed Black Apes were full of treasures, so he naturally collected them all.

For the Qi Sea Realm demon apes, Zhang Sheng only used the Object Manipulation Art to take some Yao blood for other uses.

Three hours passed,

Countless combat insights flooded into his mind like a tide.

The rushing trajectory of blood and Qi in his Meridians, and the exquisite coordination of his movement, footwork, and spear momentum, were all clearly understood, as clear as a mirror.

With a thrust of the spear, the intent moved, and the spear arrived!

"Skill: Mountain-Shattering Three Extremes Spear (Transcendent: 1/1,000,000)"

Following the comprehension of the extreme of power—Mountain Collapse,

As his spear technique reached the Transcendent level, Zhang Sheng simultaneously comprehended:

The extreme of speed—Rainbow Piercer!

The spear shot out like a rainbow, silent and stealthy, piercing armor and breaking defenses; a single instantaneous strike that was unavoidable!

The extreme of momentum—City Destroyer!

With a spear in hand, mountains crumble and the heavens overturn!

Before the spear tip even arrived, that majestic momentum that crushed everything had already descended!
