Chapter 388 - 137: Evil Gods Spread Across the World

Apart from the statues in the square, in the outskirts of the , every thousand meters, there’s a chapel for worship.

The surrounding contamination encloses the area, but it can’t penetrate the chapel.

In the center of every church, there’s a relief sculpture of a giant, imposing exotic creature, known to believers as Archangel Michael.

This image is their faith; after the Exotic Star invasion, an artist created such a relief sculpture.

After the Archangel Michael relief was completed, the originally rampant monsters seemed to fear the Archangel, so they stayed away from the chapel...

And thus the believers found a place to survive.

Therefore, every Sunday, churchgoers would go to the chapel, praying devoutly, grateful to Archangel Michael for granting them a place to survive.

For two hundred years.

This has become a tradition.

But today.

While the congregation was worshipping, in all the chapels across the continent, all the hanging images of Archangel Michael suddenly opened their eyes, becoming vividly lifelike.

...

Meanwhile, in the .

The streets are piled with garbage, the stench is overwhelming.

Countless rats and leeches pass by their eyes, hurrying towards the sewers.

Even so, people seem not to notice, lying on the ground, continuously injecting substances into their arms.

In the sewers they can’t see, hordes of rats are gathering in the deepest parts.

In another section of the sewers, it’s the same, only it’s a swarm of leeches gathering, innumerably terrifying in number.

The gathered leeches are piled up like a mountain, making one’s scalp tingle.

...

Soon, ten days passed.

.

The team gathered again at the entrance of the Secret Realm, each face full of the joy of harvest.

In these ten days, they were each clearing out the Beast Race, even Guan Xin completed her task using her physical strength, eliminating all Beast Race above 200,000 Qi Blood.

Xu Ran looked at the few people safe and sound: "In these ten days, besides clearing out the Beast Race, did you find any other opportunities?"

Zhu Yuheng shook his head: "No, even if there were, it wouldn’t benefit us much, it would be better to leave them for the cultivators entering the Secret Realm later."

Tiger Girl: "That’s right, becoming a Yue Realm expert in ten days is already very satisfying."

The rest shared the same thought.

Xu Ran slightly nodded: "If that’s the case, let’s head out."

"The people outside must be anxious by now."

After ten days without any news, the people outside must be anxious, not to mention it’s the Godslaying Squad.

Everyone nodded.

Then, they walked out of the Secret Realm together.

A streak of golden light flashed, and in an instant, they returned to Framer’s Arch.

When they regained consciousness, they saw Ye Ping standing outside, not just Ye Ping, but also their director.

The director, knowing his treasured squad entered an undeveloped Secret Realm, hastily rushed to Framer’s Arch.

Seeing them return, Ye Ping and the director eagerly approached.

"Why did you come back so soon?" asked the director, puzzled.

Xu Ran nodded: "The opportunities in the Secret Realm are no longer useful for us, and we’ve mostly explored it, cleaning out all Beast Race above 200,000 Qi Blood."

Ye Ping listened to Xu Ran’s words with a trace of doubt.

"This Secret Realm, even if it’s useless to you, should at least be useful to your other team members, right?"

As Ye Ping spoke, he sensed the Qi Blood and cultivation of the other members of the team.

"This... this..." Ye Ping stuttered.

The director noticed Ye Ping’s abnormality: "What’s wrong, is there something wrong with them?"

Ye Ping was astonished: "There’s a big problem."

"Each of their Qi Blood has reached a million!"

"What!"

The director was startled by Ye Ping’s words.

"Xu Ran, is this true?" the director asked incredulously.

Xu Ran smiled slightly: "Now, the Godslaying Squad has officially become a Yue Realm Squad!"

Hearing Xu Ran’s confirmation, the director nearly lost his footing.

In ten days, members whose cultivation was initially around 200,000 had their Qi Blood leap to a million!

Ten days, increasing by 100,000 a day, this is incredibly unbelievable no matter where you place it.

After a while, the director spoke: "Explain what happened."

Subsequently, Xu Ran narrated what transpired in the Secret Realm to the director and Ye Ping.

After hearing, both of their mouths gaped wide enough to fit an egg.

Time Gem, Earth Vein, Beast Race.

And the Exotic Giant Wood that can boost cultivators’ Qi Blood Value.

Although each cultivator can only cut down a hundred, that’s still a million Qi Blood Value!

Tens of thousands of Exotic Giant Wood can produce hundreds of Yue Realm experts, and without any side effects.

"Tens of thousands of Exotic Giant Wood can increase us by hundreds of Yue Realm experts!" the director exclaimed.

But soon, Xu Ran’s voice dispelled the director’s fantasy.

"Director, entering the Secret Realm is not that simple."

"Oh? What conditions are needed?" the director asked.

Xu Ran said: "At the very least, they need to be a Divine Squad and have certain physical cultivation."

During the clearing of the Beast Race, Xu Ran had already inquired about the Earth Vein.

This Secret Realm is a relic left by a past civilization, meant as a place of power for humanity.

Likewise, this Secret Realm, gathering all the good things a past civilization could preserve, is certainly not meant for ordinary people.

At the very least, talent needs to reach Divine Level, and it can’t be one-sided, Qi Deficiency Cultivation and Physical Cultivation need to be synchronized.

Only with both conditions met can one enter the Secret Realm for training.
