Chapter 710: Merely the First Level of the Boundless Realm

The vast divine domain stretched endlessly.

Even powerhouses at the Divine King realm could not glimpse its full scope.

The spatial structure here was extremely stable, and the elemental energy was exceptionally abundant—a paradise for martial artists to cultivate!

The divine domain was so vast that the human-inhabited area alone was divided into hundreds of domains, large and small.

And the smallest domain was still more than a hundred thousand times larger than the Boundless Realm!

Thus, in the divine domain, most martial artists could only spend their entire lives within a single domain.

The divine domain was too vast, so the various powers, large and small, were intricately intertwined.

But in the divine domain, there were eight recognized super holy lands!

The jurisdiction of the eight super holy lands spanned several large domains.

To qualify as a super holy land, one needed at least ten or more Divine King realm powerhouses!

The Divine King realm was not a specific cultivation stage but a title.

After the Boundless Realm, the three upper realms were the Heavenly Revelation Realm, the Formless Realm, and the Dao Mystery Realm.

The so-called Divine King realm specifically referred to powerhouses at the ninth level of the Dao Mystery Realm!

Only by reaching such a level could one truly become a pinnacle existence in the divine domain!

And martial artists who reached the Dao Mystery Realm were qualified to establish a holy land in the divine domain and dominate a region.

However, the divine domain was so vast that even the eight super holy lands could not extend their influence to every corner.

The eight holy lands occupied nearly half of the divine domain, while the other half was a chaotic mix of various powers, with constant warfare.

Wars often broke out between holy lands and between powers.

At this moment, in Gufeng City under the Crimson Cloud Holy Land of the White Martial Domain, two fully armored middle-aged men were conversing.

“Hey, today is really strange. The ascension pool usually has no activity for a month, but today three batches ascended all at once.”

“Isn’t more better? We brothers took this lousy job, guarding this ascension pool day in and day out, with no benefit all year. If there weren’t a few ascendants, we’d be drinking the northwest wind.”

“Haha, big brother is right. More is better, more is better! But these newly ascended are all a bunch of paupers, with nothing good on them.”

“Sigh, even a mosquito’s leg is meat; it’s better than nothing, right? With just that meager salary, we brothers won’t amount to much in this life.”

Before them was a pool ten zhang in diameter.

Beside the pool was a platform, where stood an old man and a young man.

Both had grim expressions, clearly having been extorted by the two soldier-like middle-aged men.

At that moment, the light in the ascension pool gradually brightened.

Soon after, the light faded, and two figures appeared before everyone.

“Haha, is this the divine domain? It’s amazing! The elemental energy here is so abundant; my cultivation speed here is at least five times that of the Boundless Realm!” exclaimed a tiger-headed, tiger-brained youth excitedly as soon as he appeared.

This tiger-headed youth was naturally Bai Guang, who had ascended from the Boundless Realm.

The other person was naturally Ye Yuan.

Bai Guang steadied himself and felt the abundant elemental energy almost burrowing into his body, every pore seeming to open.

This feeling was indescribably refreshing.

“Eh? Big brother?”

Bai Guang looked around proudly for a moment, but when Ye Yuan didn’t respond, he couldn’t help turning back.

At that glance, Bai Guang was startled.

Ye Yuan had somehow already left the ascension pool and was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance, slightly surprised.

It seemed this newly ascended youth was about to break through on the spot?

“Hey, this kid is interesting! Cheng Jiang, we brothers have guarded this ascension pool for many years, haven’t we? This is the first time we’ve seen a newly ascended lower-realm martial artist break through a realm right away!” said the slightly older soldier.

“Yeah, that’s a rare sight! This kid is only at the first level of Divine Travel; he probably ascended from some low-level minor world, right? But breaking through right after ascension—what’s that about?” Cheng Jiang looked baffled.

In truth, their surprise was understandable; Ye Yuan was simply too abnormal.

Other martial artists ascending to the divine domain had usually just broken through a major bottleneck, so they wouldn’t choose to break through again immediately upon arrival.

But Ye Yuan was different; his cultivation level hadn’t even reached the limit of the Boundless Realm—he was far from it.

Ye Yuan’s ascension was triggered by his actively releasing energy that exceeded the limit of the Boundless Realm, thus provoking the heavenly tribulation.

Speaking of which, only a freak like Ye Yuan would dare to do this.

For others, doing so was no different from seeking death.

Having the ability to trigger the heavenly tribulation also required the ability to survive it!

In the past six months, Ye Yuan hadn’t actively cultivated, but his state of mind had unconsciously improved, and his cultivation level had unknowingly reached the peak of the first level of Divine Travel.

Breaking through now was like water overflowing when full, triggered by the impact of the dense elemental energy in the divine domain.

The breakthrough process didn’t last long; the abundant elemental energy of the divine domain allowed him to quickly break through the bottleneck of the second level of Divine Travel.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and took a fresh look at the divine domain.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was also slightly excited.

Reborn into this life, Ye Yuan had gone from a mere Qi Realm martial artist to ascending to the divine domain, experiencing countless hardships along the way.

Unlike the comfort of his previous life, his path of rise in this life was filled with slaughter and turmoil.

Several times, he had been trapped in desperate situations, yet he had pulled through.

Now, having ascended to the divine domain, his path of revenge was steadily advancing!

This familiar elemental energy fluctuation, this familiar spatial structure—it was still the same divine domain.

But now, as Ye Yuan returned to the divine domain, his state of mind was vastly different.

“Kid, stop gawking! Are we brothers invisible?” Cheng Jiang said rudely, seeing Ye Yuan had finished his breakthrough.

Ye Yuan’s thoughts were interrupted by Cheng Jiang, but he smiled and said, “May I ask what advice you have, brother?”

“Brother? Heh, kid, you should call us ‘sir’! A newly ascended brat, you really don’t know your place!” Cheng Jiang sneered.

“Sir? You are merely at the first level of the Boundless Realm; do you deserve the title ‘sir’?” Ye Yuan said with a wry smile.

“Merely the first level of the Boundless Realm? Heh, quite the big mouth! Every ascended brat is more arrogant than the last! Go ask those two over there if they’re willing to call me ‘sir’ obediently!” Cheng Jiang sneered, as if used to Ye Yuan’s attitude.

Hearing this, the old man and young man over there turned pale.

They had already been taught a lesson and had many of their treasures looted.

When Cheng Jiang asked, the young man had to nod and say, “Brother, you’d better put away that arrogance from the lower realm. Here… it’s not appropriate!”
