Chapter 530: Holy Son of the Outcast

“Is this the Mystic Realm? What pathetic creatures, they die so easily?” Someone exclaimed in shock.

“Indeed, they are as weak as paper. It’s no wonder they come from the Holy Sect. What garbage,” mumbled the robed practitioner as he drunkenly sipped his Spiritual Wine.

“Truly, ignorance breeds fearlessness. You have no idea what has happened; this disaster beast is far from simple!” An elder frowned, contempt flashing in his eyes.

With just a bit of knowledge, one could understand Li Fenyun’s level.

It was not that Li Fenyun was too weak; rather, the disaster beast was incredibly strong!

The prodigy list of the Star State only recorded law realm cultivators. The main participants of the Heavenly Vault Grand Meeting were also law realm and Mystic Realm cultivators, with an age limit of sixty years.

Li Fenyun was a genius capable of breaking into the Mystic Realm before turning sixty. Although there was indeed a gap between him and true prodigies, his foundation remained very strong.

His plan was to advance to the Mystic Realm early, using the power of the Mystic Realm to suppress those law realm prodigies.

After all, theoretically, law realm prodigies were equivalent to those just entering the Mystic Realm. With his excellent talent, once Li Fenyun broke through, he might not be unable to compete.

Even though Li Fenyun hailed from the Holy Sect, he was far from as powerful as the disciples of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect. However, he was not someone an ordinary practitioner could take lightly. In the same realm, he could easily sweep aside dozens of incompetent drunken cultivators.

“Indeed, although the Mystic Realm automatically grants the ability to tear space, it still requires an enormous amount of magical power beneath that. Li Fenyun’s ability to employ Spatial Techniques shows that his self-Mystic Heaven is not weak. In such circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t be unable to escape; he must be a relatively powerful entity in the chaotic realm!” A scion from a prominent family shook his head.

“Haha, haha… I really don’t know who the ignorant one is. You have no idea what the term ‘prodigy’ truly represents!” The robed practitioner burst into a hearty laugh, seemingly emboldened by the alcohol. Slamming the table, he exclaimed, “You don’t understand a thing! True prodigies aren’t the kind of garbage that can be taken lightly!”

“The Mystic Realm has a total of five stages, and each stage sees a dramatic increase in magical power. Do you know how this enhancement is determined based on the foundation laid in the law realm and the quality of the Mystic Heaven?”

“When one first advances, magical power might increase by thirty times; that’s indeed powerful. But the next time, it could either remain at thirty times or plummet to just ten times! Do you understand anything? A true prodigy can maintain their potential, perfectly advancing five times in a row, reaching a base of twenty-four million three hundred thousand times! And this so-called Li Fenyun, forcing his way into the Mystic Realm, will undoubtedly see his power levels plummet the next time he advances. What kind of strong opponent is he, huh?”

“That kind of waste, when a prodigy merely hinges on the law realm, could crush him! Just fifty to a hundred times the magical power, and he thinks he can compete against a prodigy?”

“What a joke!”

The robed practitioner gulped down his drink. He had experienced some kind of setback, felt despair, and thus had given up on progressing; he believed it was beyond his reach.

Only those truly ignorant would think a mere mortal could stage a comeback. A weakling like him, already at his peak in the law realm, had no qualifications to advance any further.

The path ahead was only a realm of despair!

Stepping into the Mystic Realm would only make one food for the real geniuses, eaten clean without leaving a trace!

In contrast, remaining in the law realm, though tasteless, was something to be cherished; it allowed for a few more years of survival!

All the surrounding cultivators fell silent.

The elder who had spoken earlier also closed his mouth, his face alternating between shades of blue and white. He truly did not understand the Mystic Realm, and even his grasp of the limits of the law realm was shallow at best!

Just from hearing the numerical differences, he grasped how terrifying a gap between realms could be. No wonder even in the Spirit City of Ten Thousand Flowers, which was rich in spirit energy, the real gap between the Mystic Realm and common practitioners was not that substantial.

For real geniuses, Resources were never enough; they could never fill the bottomless pit of their realm limits!

No amount of garbage could ever compare to a prodigy at the peak of their abilities; that was the harsh reality!

“Here it comes again!”

Someone shouted!

In the projection, at least a dozen cultivators encountered a bizarre disaster beast, dying instantly!

“They’re coming from every direction; there’s more than one! How exquisite!”

“Hahaha!”

“Is this unexpected event set up by the Heavenly Sect? Those geniuses have absolutely no resistance!”

As these prodigies beyond their own levels fell one after another, the practitioners of the Ten Thousand Flowers Spirit City celebrated with glee. This was exactly what they wanted to see!

The scene of those geniuses falling from grace, meeting their demise in dangerous situations, was precisely the spectacle they longed for, one only visible in this trial!

When humans killed each other, they would watch invincible beings showcasing their might, but when disaster beasts killed humans, it surged their blood, filling them with excitement and joy!

…

In the Spirit Palace of the Ten Thousand Flowers, the Five True Immortals gathered together, enjoying the grand event and witnessing this scene.

“This disaster beast doesn’t seem to be the work of the Spirit Palace. Could it be that you all deliberately arranged this?” Master Luo Xin said, his eyes narrowing.

“Has nothing to do with me,” Master He Yu shook his head.

“I’ve never encountered such a disaster beast. To be honest, the one most skilled at these formless entities is Master Bai Hun,” said Master Tian Zhong.

“Has nothing to do with me either,” Master Bai Hun replied, shaking his head as vengeful spirits flickered between his fingers. “Souls may be formless, but they are not without shape. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be capable of forming power. This disaster beast is formless and shapeless, clearly having entered a stronger realm, able to maintain power in extremely small units.”

“A stronger realm? Does this disaster beast possess nation-destroying power?” The last one, Master Shi Shu, frowned. If that were the case, he would have to intervene.

The grand meeting of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect must not be disrupted by unexpected events; otherwise, they all couldn’t bear the responsibility.

“No worries, let’s watch a bit longer. It’s just that smaller units can possess power; as long as they don’t converge, the power will always have an upper limit,” Master Bai Hun said.

“Then let’s see. We just need ten people to survive; we can stop them at the end if needed.” Several True Immortals nodded.

…

Hundreds of miles away from where these practitioners died, a white-haired youth enveloped in a white magical halo easily exterminated several large disaster beasts.

Clad in a loose cloud-patterned robe with his long hair tied up in cloud wisps, he exuded a graceful aura. Although he was at the law realm, he radiated an unfathomable presence.

This was the Holy Son of the Outcast Holy Sect, ranked thirty-first among the Qilin prodigies of the Star State.

“Hmm?”

The Outcast Holy Son looked up, revealing a trace of surprise.

The trial ground of the Heavenly Vault Grand Meeting was tremendously vast, constantly monitored by the Heavenly Vault system, covering all areas outside the Ten Thousand Flowers Spirit City.

To hunt more efficiently, he had maintained his Spirit Sense over a radius of five hundred kilometers. Just now, he sensed several life signs suddenly vanishing?

Interestingly, he had not perceived any signs of an attack.

Was this a Spirit Law from some trial participant?

Or was it the work of a disaster beast?

He felt intrigued and transformed into a streak of light, closing in.

The stronger the disaster beast, the more he would gain from killing it. As a powerful being, he ought to resolve powerful disaster beasts to expand his foundation!

Only then could he stand a chance against the Super Geniuses of the Nine Star Heavenly Sect!
