Supreme Tamer

The Ghost Dome King already has Eighth-level Soul Armor, and its Ninth-Level Intermediate defense is already quite effective in the second tier. The most important thing to improve its defense is to allow the Ghost Dome King to metamorphose from the Eighth Stage to the Ninth Stage.

Chu Mu needs to maximize the use of equipment, and after this great battle, all the credit should go to Zhan Ye.

Zhan Ye used to wear Seventh-level Soul Armor, which has already shattered during continuous battles. As Zhan Ye’s strength improves, the effect of Seventh-level Soul Armor becomes quite minimal. Hence, Chu Mu plans to equip Zhan Ye with the ninth-level armor.

When Zhan Ye’s ancient horned beast power awakened, it simultaneously boosted Zhan Ye’s strength exponentially. Adding the baptism of this extreme battle that almost combined all past fights, Zhan Ye’s strength should be able to surge to the Ninth Rank Fourth Stage.

Chu Mu can’t temporarily confirm whether Zhan Ye’s battle rank has increased; the awakening of the ancient beast soul might be due to Zhan Ye’s Courageous Sting’s Heart metamorphosing into its complete tenth form. However, when the effects of Courageous Sting’s Heart disappear, the power may vanish too.

Therefore, Chu Mu conservatively estimates Zhan Ye’s strength after this battle to be Ninth Rank Fourth Stage – Intermediate Monarch.

In the second tier, the strength of the Ninth Rank Middle Stage – Intermediate Monarch is already very powerful. It is highly likely that even the hidden strong ones are no longer Chu Mu’s opponents. The problem is that Chu Mu’s enemies are not limited to the powerful ones of the second tier; they also include Xia Guanghan’s traps and the schemes of the puppet girl defector.

Chu Mu must now maximize the strength of his soul pets, and after Zhan Ye reaches the Ninth Rank Fourth Stage strength. Equipping it with the ninth-level soul armor will directly increase its defense to the mid to late Ninth-Level stage. This is equivalent to raising Zhan Ye’s strength by two levels.

Most importantly, Zhan Ye needs defensive soul pets. The stronger their resistance, the longer they can last in battle and the faster their strength can improve. As long as Chu Mu can ensure that Zhan Ye will not be restrained, sealed, or shackled, no creature in the second tier will be able to directly confront Zhan Ye!

A smile appeared on Chu Mu’s face. Ling He’s strength should be equivalent to the second tier’s strongest, Si Tian, from the Soul Covenant. Now that Zhan Ye has shown explosive power, Chu Mu has enough capital to fight against the so-called second tier’s strongest, giving him a greater chance of winning the final glory of the second tier!!

…

“Mo Ye, White Demon, you guys are tired too. Go back to the Soul Pet Space and rest.” Chu Mu said to Mo Ye and White Demon.

Mo Ye and White Demon have been summoned for many days, and they are indeed exhausted. When Chu Mu recited the spell, they both returned to their Soul Pet Space.

Most of Mo Ye and White Demon’s exhaustion was physical, and with enough rest, they should be able to recover.

Chu Mu recited the incantation, summoning the Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him.

“Ye, we need to hurry.” Chu Mu said to the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

“Hui~~~~~~~~” The Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a long cry, a wave of black air wrapped around its body, swiftly speeding towards the forest on the east side.

It’s unlikely that Chu Mu would be able to obtain the highest glory in the Seventh Realm this time, but at least he had to try and reach Chen Lake in the remaining time and complete the challenge!

…

…

Chen Lake Forest

Light penetrated through the dense foliage and cast speckled shadows on the grassland, forming a natural pattern.

The wind by the lakeside carried the scent of soil and grass, hinting at a recent rainfall. Through the sunlight shining on the forest, one could see a large area of shimmering water hidden behind rows of tree trunks.

The entire Mysterious Realm only covered half the journey, from the mountain range to the basin to the giant mountain. The forest behind the giant mountain was the true dangerous area within the realm.

This forest was vast and endless, and even without losing direction, one felt like they were moving in circles in the same place.

Chen Lake was the final destination at the eastern end of the Mysterious Realm. To a certain extent, reaching Chen Lake meant leaving the dangerous area.

Around Chen Lake, there were many second-tier members, most of whom were sitting around the lake with exhausted faces. Some sat in groups, while others sat alone.

Chen Lake was the end point, but Chen Lake Waterfall was the struggle for glory. The road to the waterfall was still a few kilometers away from Chen Lake. Everyone knew that stepping on the path leading to the waterfall meant being plunged into a fierce battle among the strong. For the strongest in the second-tier who wished to obtain the highest glory, only one of them was allowed to stand in the waterfall.

The lakeside of Chen Lake was safe, and the contestants who stayed here were indicating that they would not provoke any further conflicts. All they had to do was wait for the arrival of the Race Members.

“Your Highness, are you talking about the women wearing a veil?” The female guard of Princess Jinrou looked vigilantly at the woman sitting on the grass on the other side of the lake, with her eyes empty.

Next to this woman were two Soul Pet Masters with considerable fame in the second tier, and behind her was Shen Yicheng, who was burnt black and wearing a pained expression.

At this moment, the hollow-eyed woman was staring at Princess Jinrou. Her gaze showed no trace of emotion, but the staring itself sent shivers down one’s spine.

Princess Jinrou still harbored resentment because this very woman had killed her Rock Type Monarch, causing her to lose a spirit.

However, the princess knew that she was no match for the woman, and she had to be on guard in case the woman tried to harm her again.

Princess Jinrou was smart. Upon entering Chen Lake, she made a point of standing with the other members of Nightmare Demon Palace while using her influence within the younger generation to gather admirers and powerful people to her side.

These strong individuals, like her, were waiting for the arrival of race staff members. Major powers had an unwritten agreement to cease strife, so everyone coexisted peacefully.

Although the power of the veiled female leader was formidable, Princess Jinrou was sure she wouldn’t expose herself in the presence of so many people.

…

“Annoyed with the crowd? If you’re brave enough, head to Chen Lake Waterfall, where there are only seven people at most. It’s very quiet there!” A young Soul Pet Master suddenly pushed away the man in front of him and said.

“Does anyone know who went to Chen Lake Waterfall?” A few people nearby quickly expressed curiosity.

Most of those stationed at Chen Lake were Soul Pet Masters with limited strength. After experiencing the Seventh Realm’s Mysterious Realm, the distinction between true strong and average strong would be rather apparent.

At the very least, anyone who made it through that dangerous realm and still had the strength to fight at Chen Lake Waterfall, striving for the highest honor of the Seventh Realm, was significantly stronger than them.

“I was the first to arrive here, but I only saw Xue Qing from the Soul Pet Palace and Li Zhan from Soul Hall heading towards Chen Lake Waterfall,” said a Soul Pet Master who was feeding Soul Crystals to his soul pet.

“Li Zhan? Isn’t he Li Hen’s younger brother? Isn’t his strength rather average? How could he possibly have the power to fight for the highest honor of the Seventh Realm after passing through it?” Many people were puzzled.

Princess Jinrou’s female guard could hear the nearby conversation. She glanced at Princess Jinrou and whispered, “Princess, is Li Zhan from Soul Hall a deeply concealed powerhouse?”

“Yes, the strongest in Soul Hall’s second tier is Young Master Fang Ze, followed by Luo Bing, and then Li Zhan. Including their own members, not many people know that the three of them are the highest in Soul Hall’s second tier,” Princess Jinrou whispered.

In fact, Princess Jinrou wasn’t overly concerned about the powerhouses of the major factions at this moment. What made her uneasy was the marionette-like woman sitting across the lake.

Her calmness, lifelessness, and hollowness made her appear nonexistent. Yet she was as terrifying as a female devil!

“Princess, you were previously teamed up with Chu Chen from Soul Hall. Where do you think he ranks in Soul Hall?” The female guard asked.

“About equal to Li Zhan,” Princess Jinrou pondered for a moment and replied.

“Doesn’t that make him one of the top three powerhouses in Soul Hall’s second tier? Haven’t you previously estimated that he would be unlikely to make it into the top ten?” The female guard asked in amazement.

“That was before…” Princess Jinrou said.

When it came to Chu Mu, Princess Jinrou’s face darkened.

The sixteenth day was approaching, and the realm-passing time was about to end. Princess Jinrou didn’t know whether Chu Mu could make it in time or if he had died in Thousand-leg Centipede’s Abyss while adhering to his beliefs…

Princess Jinrou entered a trance. She didn’t know how long it lasted when the admirers close to her suddenly started making a commotion, as if arguing about something.

“What’s going on?” Princess Jinrou noticed that two Soul Pet Masters were angrily cursing each other, and they even began reciting spells.

“I don’t know. These two started fighting inexplicably, and it looks like they’re about to use force,” the female guard said.

Princess Jinrou furrowed her brow, and after a moment of silence, she deliberately looked at the veiled female leader across the lake.

The female leader was still sitting on the grass, and if it wasn’t for the knowledge about her terrible nature, Princess Jinrou might have thought she was just a lost and melancholic girl, wondering what to do next.

However, Princess Jinrou knew that she couldn’t be that simple and would not just sit there…

“Quick, stop them! They’re trying to provoke a fight on purpose!” Suddenly, Princess Jinrou understood the intentions of those two seemingly quarrelsome people! (.)
