From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

To an alien civilization, the destruction of a weak planet like Earth wouldn’t even register. They would feel absolutely nothing.

So, if Shen Xuan were truly gone and Earth had no one in the Law Realm to stand against Jin Mola, then revealing Earth’s existence on our own terms would be the best choice.

Even if our fate under their rule wouldn’t be pleasant, it’s still better than total annihilation.

Li Yang took a deep breath. He never imagined Earth was facing a threat of this magnitude.

Seeing Li Yang’s solemn expression, Shen Xuan added, ”Li Yang, don’t be too anxious. That Jin Mola can’t make a move on Earth directly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed quiet for twenty years. His goal is to monopolize all resources, to strip-mine Mars and the Moon completely.”

”What we on Earth need is for someone to break through to the Law Realm before the age of thirty. As long as one person does, this crisis will be resolved instantly. And right now, you are our greatest hope.”

A fervent light shone in his eyes.

”To go from the Spirit Awakening Realm to the Law Realm, you need to comprehend a Law. The sphere of light I gave you before contains a sliver of the Thunder Law. As long as you can fully comprehend it, you’ll have a good chance of breaking through.”

Without a doubt, Li Yang was now Earth’s greatest genius, and Shen Xuan was pinning all his hopes on him.

”The sphere? The Thunder Law?”

Hearing this, Li Yang thought of the sphere from before.

He often looked at that sphere, but he couldn’t make anything of it.

As he considered this, Li Yang communicated with Soul Ink through his soul.

”Soul Ink, once my Thunder Star Beast avatar is incubated, it should be able to quickly comprehend the Thunder Law, and then I can break through to the Law Realm, right?”

A Thunder Star Beast avatar... once it was fully mature, it could even break through to the World Realm!

”Of course.”

Soul Ink was clearly in an excellent mood. ”The Thunder Star Beast will be ready in six more days. Once it emerges, I estimate it can help you break through within a month. HAHA! Heaven is truly on my side! The moment you break through, Shen Xuan will contact other civilizations, and you’ll finally be able to travel to where they are.”

’Earth is too barren. Once I get Li Yang out into the Cosmos, he’ll grow at an incredible rate!’

Ignoring the excited Soul Ink, Li Yang looked at Shen Xuan and said solemnly, ”Palace Master, I will cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Law Realm.”

’I only have to wait about a month!’

”Good.”

A smile touched Shen Xuan’s face. He had high hopes for Li Yang.

”Your strength has now reached the Peak of King Level, so your current weapon is likely inadequate. Take this.”

He waved his right hand, and a black greatsword appeared.

”This is the Obsidian Sword, a second-tier Secret Pattern Divine Weapon. It can increase your attack power fivefold!”

”Increase it fivefold?” Hearing this, Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

’With my Peak of King Level strength and a fivefold attack boost... even that Golden Charlie from the United States wouldn’t be able to take a single hit from me, would he?’

As they were speaking, an exit suddenly appeared up ahead.

They had reached the way out of the Relic Space.

”Alright, Li Yang, I’ll be going now. Cultivate well, and if you need anything, just call me directly,” Shen Xuan said.

He seemed to have many things to attend to. After speaking, his figure flickered and quickly vanished.

Li Yang was left standing at the exit. He thought to himself, ’The Law Realm, huh?’

He took a deep breath. ’In just over a month, I’ll be able to set foot in that realm!’

’And then, Earth can start making contact with other civilizations and develop rapidly!’

As he was lost in thought, a King Level Cultivator from the Celestial Origin Palace, Zhang Guolin, flew out from nearby.

Zhang Guolin’s strength was only average for the Celestial Origin Palace, but he had a rather special status: he was affiliated with the national government.

Cultivators were, in reality, separate from the state. Decades ago, there had even been battles between the government and Cultivators.

Now, however, every nation and the Cultivators within its borders worked in cooperation, though some Cultivators were still directly affiliated with the state.

Zhang Guolin looked at Li Yang, thinking, ’I can’t believe Li Yang’s strength has already reached the Peak of King Level, and he even defeated Golden Charlie from the United States! He’s only eighteen. He might just become another Shen Xuan! I have to build a good relationship with him!’

Zhang Guolin thought, ’I need to report this news at once!’

’Going from Early King Level to the Peak of King Level so suddenly... his status, position, and the importance placed on him are about to shoot up several tiers!’

But before he could make a call, Zhang Guolin’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and answered, ”This is Zhang Guolin.”

After a few words, his expression changed slightly. ”Okay, I understand. I’m out of the Relic Space. Inside, Li Yang displayed the strength of the Peak of King Level and defeated Golden Charlie from the United States. Raise Li Yang’s potential rating immediately!”

After a few more words, he hung up.

Then, Zhang Guolin flew directly to Li Yang’s side.

”Li Yang.”

”Zhang Guolin, do you need something?” Li Yang asked in confusion, seeing the middle-aged man before him.

He wasn’t very familiar with Zhang Guolin.

”Li Yang, here’s the thing. We’ve been keeping a bit of an eye on your parents,” Zhang Guolin said.

”Keeping an eye on them?”

Hearing this, Li Yang looked at Zhang Guolin. He knew Zhang Guolin was connected to the government.

”Li Yang, please don’t take it the wrong way. ’Keeping an eye’ just means monitoring their whereabouts when they go out, allowing us to quickly intervene if we detect any danger. It won’t affect your parents’ daily lives in any way.”

Who was Li Yang? He was the youngest King Level in all of Hua Country—in fact, on the entire planet! His future potential was boundless. Naturally, the higher-ups would do everything in their power to foster a good relationship with him, which included keeping an eye on his family.

Seeing Li Yang remain silent, Zhang Guolin continued, ”About twenty minutes ago, your parents were nearly in a car accident.”

”What?” At his words, the color drained from Li Yang’s face.

’His family was what he cared about most. And his parents were almost in a car crash?’

”Based on our time estimates, the car accident involving your parents happened less than ten minutes after the news of your death spread from the Relic Space,” Zhang Guolin said.

Hearing this, Li Yang’s expression instantly darkened.

”Was it deliberate?” His face was grim. He instantly thought of the Zheng family!

’Inside the Relic Space, it was Zheng Hu who had suddenly tried to kill me!’

”Was it the Zheng family?” Li Yang asked in a low, heavy tone.

”We’re not sure yet.”

Zhang Guolin shook his head. ”We’re investigating right now. The results of the investigation should be out soon! Please just wait a moment, Li Yang. And don’t worry about your parents’ safety. There are people specifically assigned to protect them now.”

Hearing this, Li Yang was silent for a moment, then said, ”Thanks.”

His eyes were now filled with a grim light. ’The Zheng family... how dare you go after my family?’

At that moment, an immense killing intent surged within Li Yang!

’Zheng Hu came looking for death, and now the entire Zheng family is doing the same!’
