Chapter 509: Chapter 507: Soaring Great River

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Yang saw a mass of martial artists diving together into the endless mountains up ahead, and instantly followed, sweeping in after them.

As soon as he entered the mountains, he felt an astonishing surge of Spiritual Qi erupting from somewhere inside, spreading out without stop.

"Even the leakage of Spiritual Qi from the secret realm is this terrifying—this secret realm is no ordinary thing."

Xu Yang was secretly shocked; just this scattered Spiritual Qi alone was no less than the outer area of the Fallen Land.

Absolutely extraordinary!

At the same time, he became even more curious about which person from Daqian had discovered this secret realm.

Being the first to eat the crab must mean receiving an incredible opportunity!

"The entrance is here, hurry!"

"The surging Spiritual Qi here is terrifying, even the spilling Qi is this strong—what must it be like inside?"

"No doubt about it. To birth a Tier Three Void Primordial Infinite Pure Water, such a Spiritual Object, demands astonishingly high levels of Spiritual Qi."

"Get inside, we’re already late enough—don’t let it all be snatched away!"

"Go, go, go!"

...

One by one, martial artists swarmed toward the entrance of the secret realm like locusts sweeping through a field.

The entrance was shockingly upon a brook in the mountains.

Vast mists soared, forming circular rings that enveloped several hundred meters all around.

The water mist expanded, carrying with it the permeating Spiritual Qi that filled the surrounding mountains and wilds. From a distance, under the sunlight, it looked like layers of bright halos, dazzling with ten colors and radiant lights.

Majestic and magnificent, breathtakingly beautiful!

Xu Yang dove into it with the crowd.

Whoosh!

A dense wave of mist and humidity surged toward him.

Xu Yang entered the secret realm without shielding himself with True Essence, and instantly found his clothes soaked.

Drops of water clung to his clothing, sparkling and transparent, each containing clearly concentrated Spiritual Qi inside.

At this sight, Xu Yang couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

The Spiritual Qi was simply overwhelming.

Just a single droplet of water contained this much—this secret realm...

He looked up; before him stretched a vast wilderness.

About a thousand meters away, a mighty magic river rose from the earth, flowing east to west in a torrent.

No way to tell how deep the riverbed went, but the river itself was boundlessly wide, surging atop the horizon without spilling over.

The sight was utterly soul-shaking.

Many martial artists who’d just arrived stood stupefied, stunned into silence.

While Xu Yang watched, awestruck, a middle-aged martial artist in the distance slyly glanced his way, then quickly looked away, drawing a Communication Jade Talisman with a bent palm.

"Miss, I’ve found the person you mentioned."

"Where is he?"

"In the newly revealed secret realm outside the Fallen Land!"

"Kill him!"

...

Men Qianjun put away the Jade Talisman with a flick of his hand, smiling faintly as though nothing had happened, not sparing Xu Yang another glance, and rushed toward the magic river ahead.

The crowd began to move, and Xu Yang sped off as well.

This magic river was simply too stunning, too eye-catching.

Getting closer—

The air was thick with condensed mist so substantial it was almost tangible.

Rich, suffocating waves of Spiritual Qi surged with the rushing river, radiating a terrifying impact!

Gulp!

Sounds of swallowing echoed one after another.

Countless martial artists’ eyes turned red with greed.

"My god!"

"This entire magic river is made of condensed Spirit Water—how many centuries did it take to amass this? Even the cultivation lands of the great powers don’t have Spiritual Qi anywhere near this level!"

"Every drop here is Spiritual Liquid. In a secret realm like this, there’s sure to be treasures besides the Void Primordial Infinite Pure Water!"

"Damn those Daqian martial artists—imagine what the first to discover this place gained!"

"Hurry!"

...

Everyone trembled with excitement, crazily plunging into the magic river.

No exaggeration—this astonishing river could let countless True Monarch martial artists break through their present realms!

The treasures birthed within were unimaginable!

Cultivating here was far more rewarding than practicing in the Fallen Land itself.

This opportunity was handed right to them.

It was like a brilliant mountain of gold thrown before the masses—enter and seize the treasure!

"If luck is with me, I could not just break through to high-tier, I could go even further!"

Xu Yang didn’t hesitate, diving into the river like lightning.

BOOM!

An immense, terrifying force crashed down from above, making his body shudder; he was compelled to retreat several steps in the river.

The impact alone rivaled a True Monarch Middle Realm!

With a glance, he saw twisted whirlpools and surging tides—those places would be even more intense!

Hundreds of people plunged in, insignificant against the expanse!

Xu Yang expanded his senses, plunging headlong downward.

At the same time, the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod erupted, unleashing the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill.

Wherever he went, great swaths of Spirit Water were swallowed into his body.

Even with the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill, it would take a year or two of devouring to consume even one-third of the Spirit Water here!

"What a huge piece of treasure-jade!"

Xu Yang’s eyes shrank as he saw below a flawless jade the size of a millstone floating in the river, drifting with the current.

He hadn’t even reacted before several people swept toward it, battling fiercely.

Xu Yang immediately veered away, continuing downward.

Though the jade was impressive, it wasn’t of much use to him.

Whoosh!

A milky white flash darted through the water.

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up—he sensed a surge of potent life essence.

His body flickered, swift as an arrow, tearing through the water; one palm snatched a Spirit Fish about two feet long.

The Spirit Fish thrashed violently, but could not escape his grasp, and radiated a massive breath of life.

"This fish could extend one’s life by at least decades."

"If gravely wounded, eating two of these could restore you in no time."

Compared to that treasure-jade, this fish made Xu Yang’s eyes burn with greed; he cherished it as a rare treasure, storing it away, and acutely sensing his surroundings.

Half an hour later.

Xu Yang had reached the riverbed at the bottom, brilliant with spiritual light, vast beyond measure.

The impact here was much less, but the pressure was incredibly intense.

Without High-tier True Monarch strength or a supreme treasure, you couldn’t last ten breaths here!

Over this half hour, he’d reaped quite a harvest.

Dozens of Spirit Fish, seven Spirit Pearls, and a single drop of Tier One Pure Water!

The Pure Water was precious, with countless uses, but for Xu Yang, Tier One only helped to enhance his foundation.

To actually improve his realm, to break through to high-tier, it would require at least Tier Two!

Three to five drops of Tier Two would suffice!

If there was Tier Three, that was a dream too wild to imagine!

Though the martial artists gathering had been countless, at the base of the riverbed their numbers dwindled sharply; and with the river so vast and wide, dispersed as they were, they seemed mere specks.

For this whole half hour, Xu Yang had not met any other martial artist—no need to fight here, which was ideal.

Splash splash!!

A rush of turbulent currents surged in from behind, instantly detected by Xu Yang.

He swiftly turned and raced in that direction.

In a few blinks, he saw a glowing treasure the size of a fist drifting in the water, and inside it were three clear droplets as big as dragon’s eyes!

Nearby, a martial artist had just spotted the treasure, lunging forward to seize it.

"Tier Two Pure Water!"

Xu Yang felt his spirits soar, eyes gleaming—there were actually three drops of Tier Two Pure Water!

The difference between the three tiers of Pure Water was distinct: Tier One, smallest, about as big as two or three grains of rice together; Tier Two, the size of a dragon’s eye pill; Tier Three, like a Spirit Crystal the size of an egg!

Without hesitation, Xu Yang surged his True Essence outward, condensing it into blades, tearing savagely and violently at the oppressive water around him, and hurtled forward like lightning.

Treasures of the secret realm had no master—those with strength claimed them!

If you don’t fight for it, just wait for someone else to come snatch yours!
