From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

BOOM!

A total of seven King Level experts now stood in the void, their auras radiating outwards. In one area, the void began to tremble violently.

After about a minute, cracks began to appear out of thin air.

”It’s appearing!”

Everyone present grew excited as the cracks appeared.

Through the cracks, they could faintly see a strange space within.

The cracks continued to widen. When they reached two meters in length, the surrounding space suddenly collapsed, and the trembling void fell still.

The fissure stabilized, no longer changing!

”Wang Bing, Lin Shuyu... the Relic Space is open. From here on, it’s every man for himself,” Shao Jie said with a faint smile.

SWOOSH!

His figure flashed as he became the first to charge into the fissure, entering the Relic Space!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

After him, Wang Bing, Zheng Hu, and the others followed close behind!

”Haha, the Relic Space is open!”

”Quick, get in!”

Behind them, the other Cultivators were ecstatic. Their figures shot forward as they unleashed their full power, hurtling toward the fissure!

A grand treasure hunt was about to begin!

...

Somewhere in the Relic Space, a young man was sitting cross-legged in silent meditation.

In his hand, he held a shriveled white fruit.

As he operated his Cultivation Technique, the Spiritual Power within the white fruit was continuously drawn into his body.

Finally, all the residual Spiritual Power in the white fruit vanished!

The young man stood up. Feeling the new increase in his strength, a smile touched the corners of his lips.

”Haha, my strength has improved again. I’m not far from the Peak of Heaven-level now.”

The young man’s face was wreathed in smiles. It was none other than Li Yang!

He had been in this space for over two hours, and in that time, Li Yang had found a total of twenty-four fruits. Ten of them could directly increase his strength.

As for the other Spirit Fruits, they had different effects; refining their Spiritual Power offered no help in raising Li Yang’s strength.

The dozen or so remaining fruits were now in his backpack.

No one knew how long this trip to the island would last, so every Cultivator had brought a backpack with essential supplies like water and food.

But to make room for the Spirit Fruits, Li Yang had thrown out many of his own things.

Although only ten of the Spirit Fruits could increase his strength, in just over two hours, Li Yang’s power had progressed tremendously!

After refining the very first one, his strength reached the Mid-Heaven Level!

After refining the sixth Spirit Fruit, his strength had reached the Late Heaven Level!

Now, even if he hadn’t reached the Peak of Heaven-level, he wasn’t far off.

Such a rate of progress was simply heaven-defying!

’I’ll keep searching. I estimate that if I can find two or three more Spirit Fruits, I should be able to break through to the Peak of Heaven-level!’ Li Yang thought, his gaze shifting to the distance.

Aside from the fewer than ten King Level Cultivators in Hua Country, the strength of the Peak of Heaven-level was undoubtedly the strongest!

At this moment, Li Yang’s strength probably ranked among the top twenty in all of Hua Country!

His figure shot forward as he raced into the distance. His strength had increased, and so had his speed. Compared to when he had just entered this Relic Space, his power had surged dramatically!

As he was thinking, Li Yang’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

’The Relic Space is open!’

Although he himself was inside the Relic Space, his octopus clone had been lying in wait beneath the island the entire time.

It was hidden in the sand and gravel of the seabed, its aura completely concealed, with only its eyes exposed.

Having cultivated to the Celestial Level, the octopus clone’s vision was extremely powerful; even from the depths of the water, it could still faintly make out the scene on the shore.

Right now, all the Cultivators’ attention was on the Relic Space, so naturally, none of them had the energy to pay attention to the seabed. Thus, no one knew that the octopus clone was silently observing the changes related to the Relic Space on the island.

From the ocean floor, it watched figures flash and disappear one after another, clearly entering the Relic Space.

Since people were entering, there were bound to be King Level Cultivators among them!

Compared to the King Level Cultivators, Li Yang’s speed at finding treasures was surely far inferior.

His expression only flickered for a moment before Li Yang regained his composure.

’No matter what happens next, I’ve already reaped huge rewards. Even if I don’t find anything else, I’ve still made out like a bandit!’ Li Yang thought to himself.

Not to mention his strength soaring from the Initial Tier Celestial to near the Peak of Heaven-level, he also had over a dozen precious Spirit Fruits in his backpack!

Based on Li Yang’s previous assessment, some of these Spirit Fruits were for healing and recovery, while others provided a short-term burst of power.

Although they didn’t help raise his permanent strength, they were certainly very precious. Li Yang planned to take them back, look up more information, and then let his parents try them.

For instance, Li Guohai had been in the hospital for over a year. Even though the cancer in his body had disappeared, his physical condition was still terrible, much worse than it had been a year ago.

But these healing-type Spirit Fruits could allow Li Guohai’s body to recover quickly, and even surpass its previous state!

’Let’s go!’

With this thought in mind, Li Yang’s figure flashed and he sped off into the distance.

Seven minutes later, Li Yang found another shriveled Spirit Fruit, but unfortunately, it wasn’t one that could increase his strength.

Spirit Fruits had many uses; those that increased one’s strength were only a small fraction.

After twenty minutes, he finally found one that did.

More than forty minutes later, he found a second one.

Li Yang chose to refine both Spirit Fruits on the spot.

He refined Spirit Fruits very quickly. Back at the Initial Tier Celestial level, it had only taken him a minute to finish; now, it took even less time.

Once he finished refining them, Li Yang felt his own strength and a smile crept onto his lips.

’I’m even closer to the Peak of Heaven-level now. Just a sliver away. As long as I find one more strength-enhancing Spirit Fruit, I can break through to the Peak of Heaven-level for good!’

Li Yang was overjoyed.

After the Peak of Heaven-level came the King Level, who were like Land Immortals.

”Hm?”

In the midst of his joy, Li Yang suddenly looked up.

He was currently hiding in a fissure in the ground. Now that the Relic Space was open and all the other Cultivators were inside, it was best to find a hidden place to refine Spirit Fruits.

In the sky above, a figure flew past rapidly—clearly a King Level Cultivator.

’Have the King Level Cultivators already found this area?’ Li Yang wondered silently.

Every time a Relic Space opened, the strongest were undoubtedly the ones who benefited the most.

’I need to hurry!’

Li Yang left the fissure and sped off in a certain direction.

However, his pace of finding Spirit Fruits slowed considerably. After more than twenty minutes, he finally found one, but to his regret, it wasn’t a strength-enhancing type.

Of course, Li Yang had already gained a great deal, so he wasn’t worried in the slightest.

After advancing a bit further, Li Yang’s gaze suddenly fixed on a spot ahead.

”Get out of the way!”

”This is mine!”

Not far away, a fight had broken out. Several Cultivators were fighting over Spirit Fruits.

In the distance, even more Cultivators were joining the fray.

Looking over, he saw four Spirit Fruits had appeared on the ground there!

BOOM!

While they were fighting, a figure rapidly approached, the excitement in his eyes impossible to conceal.

”Haha, my, Zheng Qian’s, luck is simply heaven-defying! To think I’d stumble upon such a huge find all at once!” Zheng Qian’s face was filled with ecstasy as he stared at the four Spirit Fruits.
