Chapter 385 - 136: Evil Gods Awaken Across the Federations

"Big brother, I’ve been promoted to a Yue Realm expert." Tiger Girl quickly came to Xu Ran’s side, her face a picture of joy.

Zhu Yuheng, Tang Chichi, Guan Xin, and others were the same...

They all gathered around, sharing the joy of becoming Yue Realm experts.

This joy was undeniable!

Because it was too surprising!

As if they had won a grand prize!

You know, no matter how hard they worked, reaching the Yue Realm would still take at least two and a half years!

But now...

They reached it with just one exploration of the Secret Realm!

It’s like a leap!

A transformation!

They looked at Xu Ran, eyes full of smiles.

Xu Ran nodded slightly, observing everyone.

Compared to their strength before entering the Secret Realm,

the aura around them had undergone an earth-shattering change!

Like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis!

If they were a group of Divine Level geniuses before, they were now beginning to slowly realize their talents.

This is great!

Xu Ran clicked his tongue in amazement, "Hmm, not bad! With a Qi Blood Value of 1.3 million, you are formidable experts!!"

"You can participate in most battles!"

Tiger Girl swung her fist, "Hahaha!"

"Now I can train with big brother!"

Zhu Yuheng: "Little Liuli, don’t get complacent. We’re still far behind Xu Ran."

Upon hearing this,

Xu Ran shook his head, smiling lightly.

Comparing with me?

That’s not a fair comparison.

He had fully absorbed the Wood Heart, bringing his Qi Blood Value to 5.4 million.

Tiger Girl, Zhu Yuheng, Guan Xin, Tang Chichi, Ningshuang combined could only surpass him...

However,

even if their Qi Blood Value surpassed his, they were still not a match for Xu Ran in a group fight.

Because Xu Ran was a complete monster...

"You can’t compare with me. But you can assist me in battle now."

"Ningshuang’s amplification, Tang Chichi’s shield, they all can make a difference!"

Tiger Girl stretched her arms and roared, "And me! My little tower can shatter defenses with 7 million Qi Blood Value!"

Zhu Yuheng was not to be outdone, "I can also immobilize a monster with 7 million Qi Blood Value!"

The girls shared their progress.

A burst of amazement, they could hardly believe it, "We never expected to advance to the Yue Realm so quickly."

"Secret Realms are just amazing!"

"How long have we been here? Yu Heng absorbed a Time Gem the size of a house, and we encountered a Giant Wood Forest."

"The Secret Realm left by past civilizations is truly a boon for humanity, opportunities abound everywhere."

The group was immersed in joy.

But Xu Ran reminded them, "Although your Qi Blood has reached a million, you are not truly Yue Realm experts yet."

"Your Physical Cultivation hasn’t reached a million, you’re only halfway to Yue Realm."

The group, in their excitement, had forgotten this fact.

Tiger Girl was eager, "Then let’s continue exploring the Secret Realm and see if it can boost our Physical Strength to a million."

Zhu Yuheng agreed, "Even though there are very few cultivation manuals for Physical Strength, it’s rare to reach a million, but the Secret Realm from a past civilization might have such a manual."

"That’s right."

"No time like the present, let’s go now."

Saying this, they were about to leave.

Xu Ran stopped them, "Did you forget how I helped Yu Heng increase her Physical Strength?"

These words immediately reminded Zhu Yuheng of the experience of absorbing the Calamity Flame, a painful memory etched deeply in her mind, unforgettable for a lifetime.

But she had to agree with Xu Ran, the physical strength gained through the Calamity Flame was undeniable.

Currently, using the Calamity Flame to boost their Physical Strength to a million seemed the best method.

The team also remembered the pain Zhu Yuheng endured from the Calamity Flames before.

"Last time Yu Heng survived the Calamity Flames with the Heaven-Gifted Passive of the Time Root Bone, but can we withstand it?" Ningshuang was concerned.

Tang Chichi, Guan Xin felt the same.

But Tiger Girl was excited, "Bring it on, I’ve long wanted to try the Calamity Flames."

Xu Ran smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, with your current million Qi Blood strength, you can withstand the burning of the Calamity Flames."

Tang Chichi took a deep breath, "Let’s do it then, our captain wouldn’t lie to us."

Ningshuang nodded, "Since the captain has decided, let’s go for it."

Guan Xin felt the same, "If the captain says it’s fine, then it’s fine."

Zhu Yuheng also expressed no objections.

With everyone in agreement, Xu Ran extracted the Calamity Flames from his heart.

As soon as the Calamity Flames appeared, the surroundings seemed engulfed, the space twisted, a slight touch and it would spell eternal doom.

Tang Chichi, Guan Xin, Ningshuang felt the terrifying aura, swallowing hard, a trace of fear flashed across their faces.

But it was fleeting, replaced by a determined look.

To shine in public, suffering in private is inevitable.

Tiger Girl and Zhu Yuheng were calm, having undergone the tempering of their bodies by the Calamity Flames.

"Big brother, let’s start."

Xu Ran nodded, several streaks of Calamity Flames shot out, beginning the tempering of their bodies.

Faces twisted in pain, even Tiger Girl’s.

The Calamity Flames burned on their bodies, and within just a breath, there was no intact spot on the five of them, shattered limbs, broken bodies, broken souls.

If they had tempered their bodies with the Calamity Flames before absorbing the Wood Heart, the only outcome would have been death.

But now, each had the resilience of a million Qi Blood, their bodies, though burnt and tattered, maintained vitality through their strong regenerative abilities.
