--- Chapter 236 ---
An unknown place.
A smoldering creature cried in the burning star.
"Again."
"Not again."
"God, when will you hear my prayer?"
"I have been hurting myself thirty-two times, opening the sky for you."
"Yet here I am, waiting for your light."
"..."
"..."
"I'M GOING TO BREAK THE SKY FOR THIRTY-THIRD TIMES, EVEN IF I HAD TO PAY IT WITH MY LIFE!" The creature roared at the void and caused multiple explosions.
BOOOOOM!!
CRACK!
Cracks appeared in the air as if they were 'poorly' made of glass.
Flickering candlelight flashed in the area, and they vanished,
Leaving nothing but a silent void.
...
Blue Pole Star, Illusory Demon Realm.
On top of a mountain, two figures are staring at a particular spot.
Yu Long waited for the Secret Realm to open and calculated something in his mind. He kept rubbing his chin as if in deep thought, making Chu Yueli curious about what he was thinking of.
Chu Yueli feels this Secret Realm has a connection with her master. Call it her woman's intuition, but something as absurd as dimension alteration in a place like this with Domain's power means one word.
Kaiju.
Yes, Kaiju.
Chu Yueli believed the Secret Realm was 'truthfully' caused by one of Yu Long's Kaijus.
The problem is that Chu Yueli doesn't know how powerful this Kaiju is. Chu Yueli couldn't imagine how strong a monster could be to alter dimensions like this.
"What?" Yu Long felt Chu Yueli's gaze.
Chu Yueli smiled, "Nothing."
"What do you think of the Illusory Demon Realm so far, Master?"
Yu Long stared into the distance, "Better than Profound Sky Continent."
"Really?"
"Mm. Although the Profound Sky Continent is overall stronger, something I like about the Illusory Demon Realm is the fact all races lived together in harmony."
"They embraced their differences and cultures, becoming strong together."
The Heavenly King of Stone carried a lump on his back, making him look weird. This 'lump' is his secret trump card in the incoming Secret Realm's opening.
"Have you learned about the human who killed Burning Venom?" The Heavenly King of Stone asked his wife.
The Heavenly King of Song shook her head weakly, "Tempest and The Old North have sealed all information. They even killed the spies I planted in their forces."
"One thing for sure..."
"We can expect him to appear in the Secret Realm."
"After all, killing Burning Venom grants him the key to enter the area."
"Stone, honey, do you think he would be a problem?"
The Heavenly King of Stone grimaced, "I don't know..."
"My ability can't read the lines of this mysterious expert."
"How is that even possible? Your ability is the strongest after the Greed Monster."
"My ability is strong, but it's not absolute. It has a flaw."
"And I hope the flaw is not too big..."
The other Heavenly Kings also gathered around the Secret Realm and saw a blinking light falling from the sky. They braced themselves and were ready for the fight.
Back to Yu Long.
He stared at the falling star in the middle of the day and smiled, "So, it is you, huh?"
"As expected, things are going to be chaotic."
"Yueli, is everyone ready?" Yu Long glanced back.
Chu Yueli nodded, "Our force is ready."
"Well, let's enter the Secret Realm, shall we?"
As the falling white star descended the atmosphere and touched the ground with silent sound, an invisible barrier surrounded the mountain, forest, and a small portion of the sea.
"Let's go!" Yu Long and his people quickly reached the barrier and entered a completely different world.
Yu Long watched the dimension transforming rapidly, leaving little to no imagination on how it actually works. But Yu Long knows the truth.
"Wait, where is everyone?" Yu Long exited the deep thought and realized he was the only person in the area.
He looked around and found himself in an underground cave that led to a white light.
Yu Long frowned and mumbled, "Don't tell me you're playing around right now?"
He walked along the path and kept his Profound Sense active. He reached the end of the path and arrived at a creepy-looking, tube-shaped hall with statues on the walls and an altar in the middle.
A flash of golden light appeared in the corner of Yu Long's eyes.
It was a petite young lady in a purplish-black dress.
Yu Long couldn't see her face because she wore a dark veil, which seemed to be a Profound Artifact.
"You. You stare too much..." The young lady coldly stared at Yu Long.
"Come here and kneel before this empress."
"Pardon?" Yu Long was speechless.
He didn't expect this at all.
