“Realm Within a Realm?” Luo Feng looked at the screen, and his heart immediately tightened.
Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind. Logically speaking, the fact that he had participated in the Universe Trainee Mercenary Examination should not have spread. Very few people knew about it. Although He Ruo knew, He Ruo was from Beilong City and was not qualified to contact someone as powerful as Ming Yu. Then, how did this Domain Lord, “Ming Yu”, know that he was in the Realm Within a Realm?
“Don’t be surprised. When I spoke with the three of you back then, I could tell that you had thoughts of exploring the universe. With your strength, if you wanted to venture into the universe, the first thing you would do would probably be to participate in this Universe Trainee Mercenary Examination. The examination location for the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is a Thunder World.” Ming Yu answered straightforwardly.
Luo Feng looked at the tall and sturdy man on the screen. “Lord Ming Yu, why did you contact me?”
“This Realm Within a Realm was created by a famous World Lord from our Black Dragon Mountain Star Region millions of years ago. His name was Kabu, and he was known as the Thunder World Lord.” Ming Yu quickly explained. “World Lord Kabu had extremely good luck. Among World Lords, he was considered extremely wealthy. He also possessed several famous treasures that made even World Lords envious.”
Luo Feng’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked, “Then Lord Ming Yu, why didn’t you enter the Realm Within a Realm?”
This was something he, Hong, and Thunder God had been puzzled about for a long time.
“It’s a long story. Once you return from the Thunder World, you will understand.” Ming Yu’s voice was deep and powerful. “I contacted you to tell you something. Although it is true that anyone who is not a ‘Stellar-level adventurer’ cannot enter the Thunder World, the treasures within this Realm Within a Realm are simply too attractive. Therefore, all the major organisations and forces in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region have sent armies formed from Stellar-level ninth rank warriors into the Thunder World.”
“What?” Luo Feng was shocked.
An army formed from Stellar-level ninth rank warriors?
The entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region had more than 8,000 galaxies. There were also more than 500 vassal states, including the Silver Blue Empire. With such a vast star region, just how many Stellar-level ninth rank warriors could be sent?
“How many are there in total?” Luo Feng asked hurriedly.
“The strongest peak experts from the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region gathered together and held a ‘World Lord Conference’. In the end, they decided that all sides would send out nearly two million adventurers combined.” Ming Yu said in a deep voice.
Luo Feng fell silent.
Two million?
There was a saying that once the number of people exceeded ten thousand, it would already feel like a mountain and sea of people. Once this army of two million was formed, it would become an endless ocean of people, impossible to see the end of at a glance. Every single one of them was a Stellar-level ninth rank warrior. Even Universe-level experts would be frightened when facing a million-strong army of Stellar-level ninth rank warriors.
Even ants could kill an elephant!
To Universe-level experts, Stellar-level ninth rank warriors were merely ants. However, two million ants would be enough to exhaust all the origin energy in their bodies if they wanted to kill them all.
“The adventurer groups have large teams and small teams. Some belong to World Lords, some belong to Domain Lords, and some belong to Universe-level experts.” Ming Yu smiled and encouraged him. “Because they are not united, you do not need to worry too much. As long as you hide and avoid them, you still have a chance of staying alive.”
“Yes.” Luo Feng still could not relax.
Two million Stellar-level ninth rank warriors!
It was enough to make anyone’s scalp go numb. If a single World Lord wanted to produce two million Stellar-level ninth rank subordinates, it would be extremely difficult. But this time, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region’s forces were working together, so it was naturally easy.
“Spectacular.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
“Lord Ming Yu, why did you contact me?” Luo Feng asked again.
“Of course, I have a reason for finding you.” Ming Yu smiled. “I will tell you this. Although an army of two million Stellar-level ninth rank warriors will enter, Canglan Star is a rare gathering of experts from the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. The experts from all sides have gathered there to guard the entire Canglan Star and prevent other adventurers from entering the Thunder World. At the same time, once someone comes out of the Thunder World, for example, you, Luo Feng, as long as you are not from our two holy lands, four major organisations, or sixteen great families, the consequences are something you can imagine.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed greatly.
This was too despicable!
The major organisations of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region had clearly joined forces, determined to swallow the treasure known as the “Realm Within a Realm”. Anyone who was not from their forces would be threatened and forced at best, and would very likely be killed and robbed.
“Right now, there are a large number of Universe-level experts on Canglan Star!”
“There are more than a hundred Domain Lords!”
“There are also nearly ten World Lords!”
“Luo Feng, tell me, if you come out of the Thunder World, how miserable do you think your fate will be?” Ming Yu looked at Luo Feng with a smile, but the smile on this tall and muscular man was truly frightening.
Luo Feng was indeed frightened.
World Lords?
A single palm from such an existence could cause a life planet like Earth to face complete destruction. The so-called space fleets were like toys in front of a World Lord. Even the Silver Blue Empire would tremble before a World Lord. Compared to a World Lord, the Nuolan Shan family was like ants. And there were nearly ten such existences gathered on Canglan Star?
My heavens!
“Lord Ming Yu, what should I do then?” Luo Feng looked at Ming Yu, while he had already guessed the thoughts of this super expert.
“You should already have guessed my thoughts.”
Ming Yu said casually, “It is simple. You were among the earliest group to enter the Realm Within a Realm. Although the other Stellar-level ninth rank armies have many people, they arrived too late. You are the ones with the greatest chance of obtaining the treasures. World Lord Kabu’s treasures are numerous, and even World Lords are envious of them. Naturally, even a Domain Lord like me would be very interested if I could obtain just a little.”
“What you need to do is obtain treasures, and then give me the treasures that can move my heart.”
“Of course, I will not treat you unfairly either.” Ming Yu smiled.
“Furthermore, with my name behind you, the various organisations and forces naturally will not make things difficult for you.”
……
Everyone who could become a strong expert was intelligent, so Luo Feng naturally did not refuse.
After finishing his conversation with Ming Yu, Luo Feng left the virtual universe network.
“Sister-in-law, did my brother just come back?” Luo Hua walked out of his wooden house looking somewhat tired. Xu Xin was sitting outside on a chair checking information. She smiled and nodded. “Yes, he only came to the virtual universe network just now. However, he has already returned to reality again.”
“I had something to discuss with him. Ah, I missed the chance.” Luo Hua frowned.
“What is it?” Xu Xin closed the virtual notebook displayed in front of her. In the virtual universe network, the browsing screen could be adjusted into any form one wanted. Xu Xin came from Earth and was already used to using notebooks, so she simply modified it slightly through her auxiliary optical computer.
“It is about the Earth Summit.”
Luo Hua explained, “The leaders of various countries on Earth discussed it. They want to send some advance teams into the universe. They want to officially make contact with the universe.”
“What?” Xu Xin frowned.
“That is how people are. After obtaining the consciousness sensor and connecting to the virtual universe network, they are still not satisfied with only relying on the network. They want to make contact in reality as well.” Luo Hua shook his head. “They asked me to pass the message to my brother. I am only delivering the message anyway, I do not have the authority to make decisions.”
“Don’t worry.”
Xu Xin frowned and said, “Your brother is very busy right now. Wait until he finishes this period of work, then tell him about it.”
Luo Hua thought for a moment before nodding. “Mm, that works too.”
……
Realm Within a Realm.
In the grass, Luo Feng’s five-man team was crouching there.
“Third Brother, agreeing to Lord Ming Yu was the right choice.” Thunder God nodded thoughtfully. “What he said makes sense. Those large organisations will definitely join forces. They absolutely will not allow some small fry without any background to take away the treasures.”
“I thought the same, which is why I agreed.” Luo Feng nodded.
“However, I am worried about one thing now.” Thunder God frowned. “When we leave, we will have to go with Ming Yu. But what if Ming Yu secretly kills us and takes our treasures? That way, he would not need to pay any price and could obtain everything we found.”
“Yes, we cannot ignore this possibility.” Hong nodded.
“I am also worried about this.” Luo Feng was troubled.
Cooperating with Ming Yu would allow them to avoid being targeted by other powerful experts. However, if Ming Yu played dirty and killed them, what could they do?
A Domain Lord expert could kill them as easily as turning over his hand.
“Relax, Luo Feng.” A clear voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind. “Ming Yu contacting you is only because he wants to have another option. You should know that there are tens of thousands of people who entered the Realm Within a Realm in the first batch. With tens of thousands competing for treasures, Ming Yu does not have much confidence in you either. It is only that compared to the later army of two million, your chances are much greater.”
“Furthermore!”
“Right now, a large number of Universe-level, Domain Lord, and World Lord experts have gathered on Canglan Star. This is a rare grand gathering in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. If anyone dares to rob and kill others on Canglan Star, those World Lords would probably discover it immediately. That Ming Yu is not so shameless as to act in a place like Canglan Star. Strong experts care greatly about their reputation and dignity.”
“Believe in the promises of strong experts!”
“Especially in places where strong experts gather, such as Canglan Star. Even the most sinister and cunning people must maintain the most basic dignity of a strong expert.”
Babata’s words allowed Luo Feng to relax.
That was true.
A Domain Lord expert was powerful enough to make even an initial-level universe country fear them. Especially in such a grand occasion, they indeed would not risk their reputation.
……
“Right now, the two million adventurer army is continuously entering the Thunder World. They only need seven or eight days to reach the Realm Within a Realm. Therefore, we cannot continue wandering around the outskirts of the Realm Within a Realm.” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “We must hurry to the core area of the Realm Within a Realm!”
“Mm! Universe crystals are precious.” Thunder God nodded. “However, those treasures that make even Domain Lords and World Lords envious are the truly valuable ones.”
Hong nodded slightly.
“However, we must also be careful. There were already tens of thousands of people in this Realm Within a Realm from the beginning.” Luo Feng frowned. “Especially those large organisations and powerful forces, their teams have joined together one after another. Compared to them, our five-man team is far too weak. So we should keep a low profile and first understand the situation in the core area before making plans.”
“That makes sense. The core area has the highest concentration of universe crystals, so that place must have already become a battlefield covered in blood.” Thunder God was somewhat excited.
For eight days in the Realm Within a Realm.
Luo Feng’s team had not dared to go to the core area because they had guessed that place would be filled with slaughter and chaos.
But now, they had no choice.
Because after seven or eight days, when the two million army entered through the entrance, they would first appear in the surrounding areas.
“Set off!” Luo Feng gave the order.
The five-man team immediately transformed into five streaks of light and flew towards the centre of the Realm Within a Realm.
