Chapter 544: Chapter 40 The Real Target of the Invader
Eighth Realm!
Huangtian couldn’t even begin to fathom what kind of realm this was.
You must understand that aside from Wang Sheng, the strongest entity in Datong was at the Fourth Realm.
That’s a whole four major realms away.
Being of the Fourth Realm himself, Huangtian was very clear about the vast gap between each major realm.
It simply wasn’t something one could overcome.
He had no doubt that should Wang Sheng wish it, he could annihilate Datong with ease.
Wang Sheng was not surprised to see Huangtian so shocked he couldn’t speak.
For Datong, the Eighth Realm truly was an invincible enemy.
However, he wasn’t speaking thoughtlessly.
Once, the sovereign of an ordinary dynasty was a Master of Destiny, equivalent to the Fourth Realm; the sovereign of the First Dynasty was the Fifth Realm.
When he had slain Zhong, Zhong had once again made a breakthrough, reaching the Sixth Mirror.
At that time, there was also the sovereign of the First Dynasty, Jiang Yun, whose strength was formidable. Even the post-breakthrough Zhong was no match for him, but when Wang Sheng arrived, he also noticed that relative to Zhong, Jiang Yun was of the Sixth Realm too, just further along.
After all, as one ascends, the gaps within the same realm only grow wider.
Back then, he had just made his breakthrough, entering the Fifth Stage of the Qi Refining and God Transformation, and could easily crush both of them. Having made a qualitative breakthrough, he could be considered as being in the Seventh Realm.
The Hanhai Dragon King he later encountered was also roughly in the Seventh Realm.
Now that he had broken through again, with his Spiritual Body and Primordial Spirit transformed, he wasn’t comparable to his former self, hence he could be considered a powerhouse of the Eighth Realm.
Faced with True Monarchs from hostile worlds, when he was in the Seventh Realm, he could resist a degree of their power, but now if he took action, the outcome remained uncertain; they too were most likely strong entities of the Eighth Realm.
Only a powerhouse of the Eighth Realm could create something akin to the Seventh Realm’s Hanhai Dragon King.
However, creating such a being carried a steep price and came with significant side effects.
The Hanhai Dragon King was likely the result of the combination of many beings from that world.
Even now, he found it somewhat difficult to create a Seventh Realm creature.
Therefore, upon reaching the Eighth Realm, he did not let his guard down.
Thinking this, he heaved a sigh and said, “What of the Eighth Realm? That world has no shortage of Eighth Realm beings, and there might even be stronger entities.”
This was no idle exaggeration.
The world of the Kui Tian Monarch was filled with True Monarchs, and it was uncertain if they were of a particular realm. If so, they were at least Eight Realm beings.
And among those he had encountered were the Heavenly Demon True Monarch, the Kui Tian Monarch, and the Martial Arts True Monarch.
Three entities of the Eighth Realm, and without Wang Sheng, this world would stand no chance at all.
Huangtian naturally heard what Wang Sheng said.
He was well aware of what his mentor was referring to.
“Is the Eighth Realm unstoppable?”
“I don’t know; we can only do our best.”
Wang Sheng didn’t say much more, and Huangtian didn’t ask further. He knew that no matter how much he inquired, it wouldn’t be of much help.
After some brief conversation, the two had already arrived at the most mysterious place in the Eternal Heavens—the Immortal Heaven.
According to Wang Sheng’s senses, there was a Fifth Realm powerhouse here.
But when they arrived, both Wang Sheng and Huangtian were somewhat surprised.
This Fifth Realm entity was actually restricted.
“Internal strife?”
It was quite evident.
Sensing newcomers, Lian Yun lifted his head.
“It seems that changes we were unaware of have already occurred in the outside world…” Even without knowing anything, Lian Yun could guess the outcome, “Esteemed lords, could you perhaps help me?”
Wang Sheng casually waved his hand, lifting the restriction. He wasn’t fearful of this person causing any trouble.
“Much gratitude, my lord. My name is Lian Yun. If there’s anything you need to inquire about, I shall tell you all I know.” Lian Yun’s thoughts were clear, showing no resistance.
Wang Sheng smiled and said, “It’s nothing much; I just want information on this Secret Realm to facilitate movement.”
If he had to gather this information himself, it was uncertain how long it would take.
Finding a Fifth Realm being fused with the Secret Realm, he could achieve what he wanted in one fell swoop.
“Alright, I will immediately have someone prepare the information, but it will require some time. May I inquire about some external matters?”
“No problem,” Wang Sheng nodded.
There were still people in Immortal Heaven, who had learned about the situation at the entrance and did not dare to resist, and they went to organize the information immediately.
After Lian Yun had recovered a bit, he directly asked, “May I ask… Tianxing, the one with strength similar to mine, is he dead?”
“He is not.” Such good training material—how could he possibly be dead?
And besides, he still wanted to know if that person was one invaded by others!
According to the Planet Will, those who were invaded might not even be aware, being subtly changed at any moment, which could lead to invasion at any time.
The stronger the individual, the greater the likelihood, because the more power they gained after being invaded.
Wang Sheng wanted to gain information about the outside world from the invaders, so he was willing to wait as long as possible.
Aside from the initial deterrence, he wouldn’t kill those above the Fourth Realm.
After all, those who consumed no external beings would gradually die within a few years. During this time, if invaders truly existed, they would eventually slip up.
Upon hearing that Tianxing was not dead, Lian Yun appeared somewhat disappointed, “Ah, so he’s not dead!”
“Do you wish him dead?”
“Of course.” Lian Yun admitted candidly, quite unfazed, “If he doesn’t die, given the chance, he would surely kill me. Why would I feel any sympathy?”
“Then you have nothing to worry about. He’s currently being used as a trial subject, and he’ll die in a few years, just like you.” Wang Sheng bluntly stated their fate.
“Die outright?” Lian Yun had yet to respond when Huangtian appeared somewhat surprised. He had hoped to subdue these powerful beings within the Secret Realm; after all, so many strong entities could be helpful, “Mentor, what is going on?”
