Chapter 1086: Actions Across the Board! Li Chen
When Zhou Yuanwu made arrangements for who would enter the secret realm, other supreme forces were also acting.
United States, Holy Church.
Evelyn's holographic projection appeared in the palace, still tall and elegant.
"Philip, Cain, you two will lead the team into the secret realm this time."
Her emerald eyes fixed on the two figures standing at the very front of the palace.
William Philip, the strongest under the United States' supreme, and also the founder of the Philip family.
At peak ninth-rank, his power had reached the level of invincibility within ninth-rank.
Originally, he possessed only a Strengthening-type S-class ability.
But after being strengthened by the divine blood Cain brought back from the Breakthrough Tower, his ability had evolved into SS-class!
As for Cain, the Grand High Priest of the Holy Church, a peak ninth-rank Law Saint, his power was equally formidable.
"Yes!" Both nodded in unison.
"Be especially cautious of Xu Jingming from Great Xia—this man, even I cannot fathom."
After a pause, Evelyn added another warning.
"Even among peak ninth-rank, there are differences—I've been stuck at this stage for decades.
Now that my ability has evolved into SS-class, a mere Xu Jingming is no threat."
Philip grinned, his smile tinged with disdain.
If his ability were still S-class, he might have feared him.
But now that his ability had evolved into SS-class, he had no reason to worry.
"Hmm." Evelyn gave a slight nod, her mind slightly reassured.
It had been less than ten days since Xu Jingming broke through to ninth-rank mid-level.
In such a short time, even if Xu Jingming were a prodigy, his power couldn't have changed much.
"The secret realm from ten thousand years ago! The primordial mysteries! Gaining even a glimpse of information will greatly benefit us!
Henry, Freya, you two will lead this ninth-rank team."
In the European Union, Charlotte's holographic projection was also making arrangements.
Before him, a pair of siblings with strikingly similar faces had eyes glinting faintly, appearing deeply eerie.
"By divine mandate, the God Eternal!
The God has sent forth His decree: explore the secrets of the secret realm.
I will assign you to the team entering the secret realm.
For this mission, spare no cost—bring back the most valuable information!"
In a dimly lit palace, a massive blood moon pattern hung across the wall.
Beneath the blood moon, the voice of Tianming, founder of the Tianming Sect, boomed with irresistible allure.
"By divine mandate, the God Eternal!"
In the palace, each ninth-rank figure's eyes glowed crimson, radiating lethal aura...
Xu Jingming had originally intended to rush full speed toward Heizhou.
But since the supremes had already set the rules, there was no need to hurry.
He ordered the Black Radiance-class fighter to fly toward Heizhou at a comfortably slow pace.
Along the way, Xu Jingming took time to ease the longing between Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang...
Three hours later, the fighter arrived near the secret realm's entrance in Gomoro, Heizhou.
Hss—
The fighter's hatch opened, and the three stepped out.
Leading was Xu Jingming, with Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang behind him.
Their fair, delicate faces still bore a faint blush, not yet fully faded, breathtakingly beautiful.
Their curvaceous figures were unmistakably outlined by their battle suits.
As their long, beautiful legs stepped through the air, their rounded, firm hips swayed slightly—a scene as lovely as a painting.
"It's Xu Jingming from Great Xia—he's arrived too."
"Ninth-rank mid-level at twenty-one—truly extraordinary."
"Extraordinary? Hmph, bringing women along to such a crucial secret realm—what great future can he have?"
"......"
Around the secret realm's entrance, numerous ninth-rank warriors from various nations had already arrived.
The moment Xu Jingming appeared, every eye turned toward him.
Their gazes held awe, admiration, disdain, and contempt—each emotion different.
"These bastards!"
Su Qingli, hearing some of the disparaging remarks, grew angry.
"Don't mind them, Qingli-sister. Once we enter the secret realm, we'll show them what for."
Hearing Ling Shuang's fair face also grew slightly cold.
These ninth-ranks clearly saw them as mere ornaments.
Yes, compared to Xu Jingming, their power meant little.
But one is a ninth-rank mid-level Lightning SS-class, the other a ninth-rank low-level Space SS-class.
If they truly underestimate us—
Let them find out why the flowers are so red once we're inside the secret realm!
"Teacher Ling is right."
Xu Jingming laughed heartily and gently wrapped his large hand around Ling Shuang's slender waist.
A vase? Only a Rank Nine invincible could say that.
With the strength of these two women, they could sweep away the vast majority present!
Moreover, Ling Shuang's spatial ability, even if not used in combat, would be immensely helpful within the secret realm.
"Your servant bows before the Hall Master, my lord."
On the ground, Zhang Hengyang and several other Rank Nines who had been deciphering the secret realm flew up and bowed respectfully.
"Hmm, how is the secret realm deciphering coming along?" Ling Shuang nodded slightly and asked.
Xu Jingming, meanwhile, looked with interest toward a distance.
There, a hazy mirage-like illusion floated.
This was the secret realm space, though unlike ordinary secret realm spaces.
Around this illusion were countless tiny spatial fissures, densely packed.
Even though Xu Jingming was not a spatial ability user, he could sense that this space stood on the brink of collapse.
"It will take roughly another ten hours to lock onto the target of this secret realm space and forcibly construct a teleportation portal," Zhang Hengyang replied.
"Good. I'll join you in deciphering it—this will speed things up."
Ling Shuang went with Zhang Hengyang and the others to decipher the secret realm space, while Xu Jingming received a mental transmission from Zhou Yuanwu.
This secret realm was located above Karan City in Gomoro.
Though not in the city center, it was equally bustling, with towering skyscrapers surrounding it.
The nearby citizens had long since been evacuated.
Through Zhou Yuanwu's mental transmission, Xu Jingming soon met him atop a nearby skyscraper.
Besides Zhou Yuanwu, the rooftop held Xue Jian and two other Rank Nine powerhouses.
"Brother Zhou, Lord Xue Jian," Xu Jingming called out with a smile.
Beside him, Su Qingli also bowed slightly.
"Xue Jian and the other two will also enter the secret realm this time—you can all discuss strategy together," Zhou Yuanwu said with a smile.
Xu Jingming was about to speak when suddenly, Eva's excited voice echoed in his mind:
"S-rank! Results are in! Li Chen, that old scoundrel, has been gravely wounded by Uncle Su and is now missing, his fate unknown!
Uncle Su has already set out for the Lei Ting Martial Arts Headquarters!"
"Oh?" Xu Jingming's heart stirred.
More than ten minutes earlier, while still in the fighter jet battling the two women, he had already received the news.
Su Tianrui, whose ability had evolved to SS-rank, had arrived in Qingjing and clashed with the Li family—but he hadn't expected results so fast.
