88: Chapter 88 The Man Who Gave Everything for Prison Six

At the instant the Demon-Sealing Array broke, apart from a brief moment of initial panic, a calm settled in, and immediately everyone in the Sacred Realm sprang into action.

It had been said back during the time of Prisoner 4 that the Sacred Realm was not some paradise or hidden Secret Realm; it was, through and through, a military camp.

But knowing it and seeing it with one's own eyes were two different things.

Orders exploded from the Sacred Realm's command center, and three command sword beams shot out simultaneously, dragging long trails of spiritual light across the gloomy sky. Immediately after, countless communication talismans flew out from every camp. The entire military camp was like a fully wound war machine, with all its gears meshing at once.

Red combat readiness interfaces popped up simultaneously on the electronic screens in every barrack, all non-essential equipment automatically locked down, and the Martial Artists who were still resting flipped up, grabbed their tactical vests and weapons, and rushed toward the doors.

They had just heard the announcement that the Demon-Sealing Array had fractured, yet there was no panic on anyone's face; obeying orders was the only thing they needed to do now.

The entire military camp was like a fully wound war machine, with all its gears meshing at once, operating in an orderly and disciplined manner.

You held Mu Xue's hand and watched the soldiers constantly walking past you, feeling a bit strange.

You were only twenty-seven years old this year; why would the Demon-Sealing Array break?

If following the normal timeline, it should have happened around when you were forty-five, when a Martial Artist named Chu Nanxuan would suddenly appear, force his way into the Sacred Realm, cause the Demon-Sealing Array to fracture, and then the Sacred Realm would fall when you were about fifty.

Because you had always thought this way, you hadn't really paid much attention to the affairs of the Sacred Realm, and you were even planning to go kill Chu Nanxuan when you were in your forties!

Could it be that something you did caused the timeline to be disrupted?

You couldn't help but look at Mu Xue; could it be because you saved Mu Xue?

"No?" You quickly shook off this thought. If Mu Xue were truly that important, then the Zhou Family wouldn't be the only power deciding her fate; at the end of the day, this was just a matter for the Zhou Family itself.

A figure suddenly descended rapidly from the sky, landing steadily in front of you.

It was a Martial Saint, wearing the standard combat uniform of the Sacred Realm, with a communicator that hadn't been closed in time hanging on his tactical belt. He gave you a crisp military salute: "Senior Lin, please come this way! Marshal Ye is waiting for you at the command center."

You nodded and, with Mu Xue in tow, went with him to the command center.

You stopped thinking about why the Demon-Sealing Array had suddenly cracked this time. Since this was already an established fact, rather than pondering why it happened, it was better to think about how to solve the problem.

You had confidence; right now, you were invincible in this world!

Even a Martial Arts Myth was nothing but an ant in front of you!

You followed the Martial Saint through the busy corridor of the command center and arrived at a small room. When you pushed the door open, Marshal Ye was standing in front of the main screen.

The Head of Zhou Family, whom you had just met at the Zhou Family, was also in the room. He was wearing a military uniform, his expression calm as he looked at the paper report in front of him, showing no emotion. After seeing you come in, he just nodded slightly.

Besides them, there were a few other figures you didn't recognize, all of whom were at the Peak of the Martial Saint Realm.

Your gaze turned to the big screen, where dense large red dots and even more small red dots were constantly advancing.

Marshal Ye flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, took a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to you.

You didn't take it, instead reaching into Mu Xue's pocket to pull out a lollipop, saying, "I'll have this instead."

"I see." Marshal Ye nodded and said to you, "Those large red dots represent Martial Arts Myths, and those small red dots represent Martial Saints."

He sighed: "Originally, with the protection of the Demon-Sealing Array, even if they were Martial Gods, at most only about four could enter at once. I could fight two, and the rest could be barely held off using numerical superiority and military Formations."

"But this time, it's clear that these Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons are playing for real!"

You sucked on the lollipop and glanced at the screen; there were about sixty-two large red dots and over one hundred and forty small red dots.

You remembered that during the time of Prisoner 4, a total of fourteen Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons at the Martial God level had come. Using military Formations, it would take the death of about three or four generals at the Peak of the Martial Saint Realm to repel one Martial God.

Sixty-two Martial Gods this time; this number even exceeded the total number of Martial Saints at the Peak Realm in the entire Sacred Realm.

"We can't fight this!" the only woman present said—oh wait, except for Mu Xue.

This female general looked pessimistic: "The gap is too large. I think we should surrender to the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons and make other plans!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Head of Zhou Family spoke up: "Surrender! What kind of surrender? Those guys look at us and the first thing out of their mouths is 'ants.' Surrender to them? Can they even understand you?"

"Can't those Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons at the Martial Saint Realm communicate a little?" the female general retorted.

"You know it's only 'a little'!" another general at the Peak of the Martial Saint Realm spoke up. He had graying hair but looked like an irreverent old man. He was also the only one present not wearing a military uniform, and he carried a wine gourd at his waist.

"Alright, surrender is impossible. If the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons could communicate, we wouldn't have been fighting until now." Marshal Ye turned his head and said, "Now, the only thing we need to do is think about how to fight!"

Marshal Ye looked at you and sighed: "Kid Lin—no, Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder how many Martial Gods you can handle at once?"

Marshal Ye's gaze was filled with anticipation. Although you hadn't explicitly stated it, he had already guessed that you had likely reached the fourth Realm of martial arts. If that was the case, they still had a chance to fight.

You would be everyone's hope!

You took the candy out of your mouth, spun it in your hand, and looked at them, lifting your chin slightly.

Then Mu Xue gave you a knock on the head: "Speak quickly, stop showing off here!" As she said this, she even snatched the lollipop from your hand.

You clutched your head and gave Mu Xue a pitiful look, then straightened your expression and said to Marshal Ye and the others.

"You don't need to do anything from now on; with me here, we are invincible!"

...

My name is Venerable Li Kun, and I am the Soul Transformation Cultivator who is about to enter the Secret Realm to seize the supreme treasure. I discovered this Secret Realm about three hundred years ago. At that time, I was being hunted by enemies, was severely injured, and fell into this place.

I didn't expect that a misfortune would turn into a blessing, allowing me to see such an undeveloped Secret Realm.

I don't know much about the Secret Realm, but I know there must be good things inside. Unfortunately, I was severely injured at the time and couldn't explore it myself. Helpless, I could only secretly bewitch a few villagers, using a secret method to raise their cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and let them go in to explore.

They had no consciousness and could only obey my orders.

Soon, I learned information about this Secret Realm. It appears to be a naturally formed Secret Realm, or a Small World that has undergone Fusion with the Tianheng Continent. Whichever it is, I have struck it rich!

For me, the safest method would be to sell this news to a major power and obtain some rewards. But at that time, my enemies were still hunting me, and I also had ambition; I wanted to possess this Secret Realm exclusively.

Soon, I learned that the strongest living beings inside this Secret Realm were only at the Golden Core Realm. I was overjoyed, overjoyed; I just needed to wait for my strength to recover a bit, and I would be able to completely dominate this Secret Realm!

But my hopes were dashed. The Golden Core Cultivators inside the Secret Realm actually created a Formation to prevent me from entering. I don't know what kind of Formation Master Genius that was, but with my cultivation at the Peak of the Nascent Soul, I was actually unable to force this Formation open!

However, I discovered that this Formation could still allow Foundation Establishment Cultivators and a small number of Golden Core Cultivators to pass through. Thus, I continuously sent Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators to attack this Secret Realm to seize resources, while also recovering from my injuries.

In this way, this matter continued for four hundred years, but right now I cannot wait any longer; a supreme treasure has appeared inside this Secret Realm!

A Cultivator's Magic Treasure is divided into ten Ranks, with Rank One being the lowest and Rank Ten being the highest. Anything that can be called a supreme treasure is at least Rank Seven or higher.

As long as I obtain this supreme treasure, I can take off, so I cannot wait any longer!

I directly consumed a Medicinal Pill to forcibly raise my cultivation to Soul Transformation. A Soul Transformation like me is generally called a Pseudo-Soul Transformation. Although it cannot compare to a true Soul Transformation, it is still Soul Transformation.

I threw a punch and broke the Secret Realm's Formation.

Although I don't know what kind of Genius laid down this great Formation, after all, the Formation Master only had Golden Core cultivation. Blocking a Nascent Soul is one thing, but can it really block my Soul Transformation!

At this moment, I have given everything, but as long as I obtain this supreme treasure, it will be worth it!

Supreme treasure!

I, Venerable Li Kun, am coming!
