More than ten thousand adventurers looked ahead. Every single one of them was wearing alloy battle armour, divided into five major groups, resembling an army of steel warriors. Under the dazzling light of the distorted lightning surrounding the Lightning Castle, streaks of blue light were occasionally reflected from their armour. Almost everyone stared at the Lightning Castle with burning eyes.
That was the treasure of the Realm Within the Realm!
“Hmm? What is going on?” The Ninth Prince Brolin frowned as he looked ahead.
“Your Highness, the adventurer army outside will still need a long time before they can reach here. We have plenty of time.” Among the nine personal guards, a green-haired woman spoke softly. “We currently have an absolute advantage. Let us watch slowly. The treasure of the Realm Within the Realm will definitely belong to Your Highness.”
Brolin remained silent as he stared ahead at the ancient castle standing proudly beneath the lightning.
Suddenly.
“Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack.”
The castle released a deep sound, and its enormous gates slowly began to open.
“The door has opened!” The Ninth Prince Brolin, surrounded by his guards, suddenly lit up his eyes. He looked as if a starving wild dog had seen a bone. “There are definitely treasures inside the castle!”
Clack.
The huge castle gates slowly opened, allowing people to vaguely see some of the layout inside. The more than ten thousand adventurers gathered outside widened their eyes and stared. Many of them even took out telescopes, all looking towards the interior of the castle with intense desire.
A ninth-level Stellar Rank expert might be able to dominate ordinary life planets like Bai Lan Star.
However, throughout an entire galaxy, and even within the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, they were merely ordinary soldiers, cannon fodder, or bodyguards.
Yet this group of cannon fodder had gained the opportunity to touch the treasure of the Realm Within the Realm because of the persistence of a well-connected woman named Qiniya. This would become the most glorious thing that almost 99% of the people present would be able to boast about for the rest of their lives.
“The door has opened.” Among the crowd, Thunder God looked at the towering Lightning Castle in the distance. “The treasure is going to be taken away.”
“It was never our share anyway.” Hong said softly.
Luo Feng smiled faintly. “This treasure is too astonishing. Moreover, there is that Ninth Prince. He is the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire! And there is also that C2-grade laser gun. Even weaker Universe-level experts can be killed by it. Let us just watch. The ones who are truly unwilling to give up are the leaders of the other four factions.”
Luo Feng remained calm.
Of course, he had the ambition to obtain the treasure of the Realm Within the Realm. Having ambition was good, but if someone lost their mind and failed to understand their own strength, they could easily lose their life.
That laser gun only needed one shot. No one present could withstand it.
“Chaos.”
“Only in a chaotic situation, or if some unexpected event happens, might there be a chance to fish in troubled waters. But right now, there is no hope.” Luo Feng looked towards the front. The leaders of the four major factions were standing there.
……
The elite leaders of the Stellar Rank adventurers from the Black Cloud Association, Hundred Tiger Tower, North Dragon City, and the sacred land Ice Sea Divine Kingdom seemed to have been intimidated by the Ninth Prince. No one attempted to stop or interfere with anything. They simply watched silently as everything unfolded.
“Clang!”
The castle gates completely opened.
Silence.
Although the castle gates were open, no one dared to enter for a moment. The Ninth Prince simply watched the castle silently, seemingly waiting to see if there would be any further changes.
“Your Highness?” The female guard behind him called out softly.
“Do not rush.” Brolin said quietly, his eyes fixed firmly on the Lightning Castle ahead.
……
Among the crowd, Luo Feng also stared at the Lightning Castle in the distance.
Suddenly.
All the lightning surrounding the surface of the Lightning Castle quickly disappeared. However, the ancient and dilapidated castle seemed to have been completely renewed.
“Chi!”
“Chi!”
“Chi!”
A series of sounds came from within the castle. Beams of light appeared across the entire castle, and soon countless beams enveloped the entire structure.
“Hahaha, hahahahaha……”
A hearty and extremely joyful laugh came from within the castle, echoing throughout the world.
“Welcome everyone to the Realm Within the Realm. I have waited for this day for more than ten million years!”
A deep voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
……
The more than ten thousand adventurers were stunned.
“What voice was that? Who is speaking?”
“I do not know.”
“Could it be that the World Master who created the Realm Within the Realm back then is still alive?”
“Stop dreaming. The Thunder World has been discovered for more than ten million years. A World Master could not live that long, unless they became an Undying.”
“If the World Master back then became an Undying and hid in the Realm Within the Realm for ten million years, is that possible? Only a freak would do that.”
Outside the castle, more than ten thousand adventurers discussed quietly. Among them, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were equally shocked.
“What is this?” Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looked at each other.
“What exactly is this?” Luo Feng whispered.
“Is it not obvious? After living for so long, it must be the auxiliary intelligence of that dead World Master.” An indifferent voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind. “Being lonely for ten million years, who knows whether this intelligence has evolved into an ‘intelligent life’. If it has evolved into an intelligent life, ten million years of loneliness could probably make it become a complete freak.”
“A freak?” Luo Feng frowned.
……
The leaders of the five factions, including the Ninth Prince, also stared at the castle.
Above the castle, beams of light gathered together. Then, a virtual figure appeared. It was a plump old man with a white beard. The old man narrowed his eyes and looked down at the more than ten thousand people below. This made the adventurers feel somewhat uneasy, as most of them present had some knowledge.
Creating a human figure from light was usually a method of intelligence and technology.
“Little fellows, you came here because you want to obtain the treasure of the Realm Within the Realm, right?” The white-bearded old man smiled as he looked down. “That is correct. My master placed his treasures inside the Realm Within the Realm, and I am the one responsible for guarding them.”
“My master’s treasures are very numerous.”
“Look.”
The white-bearded old man pointed to his side. Above the castle, beams of light gathered together, and a huge screen appeared. The screen displayed countless item images. There were all kinds of treasure photographs, so many that they were dazzling. At the very centre was a crystal sphere with a strange colour.
“The inheritance crystal sphere!” Ninth Prince Brolin’s eyes lit up.
“It is the inheritance crystal sphere.” The leaders of the other four major factions were all excited and full of anticipation.
Among the crowd.
Including Luo Feng, more than ten thousand people looked excitedly at the many treasure images on the screen.
“My master’s treasures are numerous.”
“I have carefully classified them. There are a total of 68 types of treasures, with 312 items.” The white-bearded old man pointed at the screen beside him. A ranking list immediately appeared.
“No.1: The bank account of the complete set of Space Secret Technique inheritance crystal sphere, three-layer account.
No.2: My master’s bank account.
No.3: Domain Lord-level bloodline medicine, one portion.
No.4: ……
……
No.68: Fifth-order Origin Force weapon, Heavenly Fire Wheel.”
Silence.
Everyone stared at the screen. It was too astonishing. There were 68 types of treasures, and some treasures had three or four copies, or even six or seven copies. Altogether, there were 312 treasures.
“Too, too……”
“Crazy, this is crazy.”
“Even the worst one is a fifth-order Origin Force weapon. My heavens!”
“If I obtain just one treasure, I can become the richest person in our Kunar Galaxy.” More than ten thousand adventurers had glowing eyes, completely losing their composure.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were also excited, their eyes almost popping out.
“Too, this is too……” Thunder God’s mouth was wide open.
“No wonder the four major organisations and two sacred lands do not care about Universe Crystals! Even all those Universe Crystals combined cannot compare with these treasures. The second-ranked bank account belongs to a peak World Master expert. How much wealth would he have stored? It is definitely many times more than all the Universe Crystals in the Realm Within the Realm combined!” Luo Feng could not hide his excitement.
“This World Master is truly wealthy!”
Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind. “This is insane. This World Master must have obtained the inheritance of some Undying existence. Otherwise, it would not be this exaggerated! The inheritance of a complete set of Space Secret Techniques represents secret techniques created after completely analysing the Space Origin Laws. As for the third-ranked Domain Lord-level bloodline medicine, it represents a bloodline that allows someone to reach the Domain Lord level upon adulthood, like the Manka Star people.”
“Once consumed, it can completely replace a person’s bloodline.”
“And the ninth-ranked ‘Life Fruit’ actually has three of them! No matter how severe a World Master’s injuries are, consuming one can completely restore them. For a World Master, this is equivalent to gaining another life. I do not know how this World Master died. He did not even have time to consume the Life Fruit.”
“Truly wealthy, truly wealthy. This is comparable to a relatively poor Undying existence.” Babata was also extremely excited.
On Canglan Star, beside a peaceful lake, a wooden house had been built.
In front of the wooden house sat two men. Although they were sitting there, one of them gave people the feeling of being like a mountain, while the other carried an icy aura that made people feel frightened. Both were wearing battle armour, battle boots, and black cloaks.
The two men were drinking the finest fruit wine.
“Hmm?”
“Hmm?”
A trace of surprise appeared in their eyes.
“This Kabu World Master truly deserved to be surrounded and killed by countless forces back then. His treasures are indeed astonishing.” The cold man could not help but sigh.
The burly man slightly nodded. “He even has Domain Lord-level bloodline medicine. I wonder which race’s bloodline it is.”
Among the human race, only a handful of races could reach the Domain Lord level upon adulthood.
Only a few races possessed such a bloodline.
For example, to create a single Manka Star human bloodline medicine, one would generally need to kill six or seven Manka Star people. Therefore, such actions greatly angered powerful races. Their populations were already extremely rare, so they would naturally hunt down anyone possessing such medicine.
“Let us go to the headquarters.”
“Alright.”
The two men stood up. Swish!
Their figures slowly faded away. As for their actual bodies, they had already arrived more than ten thousand kilometres away at the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters. Their speed was astonishing, yet they did not cause the slightest damage to their surroundings.
Realm Within the Realm.
Above the castle, beams of light projected down. The white-bearded old man pointed at the screen and smiled. “Have you seen clearly? These are the treasures my master left behind.”
More than ten thousand adventurers looked up excitedly.
Who would not want them?
Any single treasure was probably worth thousands or tens of thousands of times the entire wealth of the entire Nuo Lan Shan family!
