Free Web NovelChapter 382: Chapter 378: Legend of the Extreme Realm
"Forget him. The guy’s just incorrigible," the newly-awakened Turtle Egg grumbled. "I was nice enough to leave some for him, and he refused it. Then, the moment I looked away, he licked the whole jar clean."
In truth, Turtle Egg had no idea that Chu Yanwu was scared to death of him; how would he ever dare to accept his wine?
"You... My eyes aren’t deceiving me, are they?" Turtle Egg muttered, his gaze fixed on Lin Hao.
He had seen through to Lin Hao’s cultivation.
After circling Lin Hao twice, Turtle Egg finally confirmed it and cried out in shock, "The Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm! Three days! It actually took you only three days to break through to the Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm!"
"’The Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm?’ What does that mean?" Yunxi asked from the side, perplexed.
Thanks to that cup of wine, she had awakened her Divine Soul and her cultivation had broken through to the First Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm. If Chu Yanwu hadn’t used some technique to restrain her, she would have taken action long ago.
Now, hearing Turtle Egg’s shouts, Yunxi began to size up Lin Hao.
As she did, Yunxi discovered that she couldn’t comprehend Lin Hao’s cultivation level at all.
He clearly hadn’t reached the Soul Gathering Realm, yet he was somehow beyond the Ninth Layer of the Elemental Realm. It was too bizarre.
"The Extreme Realm is the absolute highest state one can achieve within a given realm. You think there are only nine layers to a realm? The truth is, every major realm has a Tenth Layer, which is known as the Extreme Realm! This guy broke through to the Extreme Realm in the Blood Coagulation Realm, and now he’s done it again in the Elemental Realm."
Turtle Egg’s eyes never left Lin Hao as he spoke, almost mechanically.
Yunxi was dumbfounded.
It was the first time she had ever heard of the Extreme Realm, yet she never imagined someone had already taken that step. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
At that moment, Yunxi felt a sense of defeat she had never experienced before.
Her physique was the Beast Taming King Physique, one of the twenty-four King Physiques, and yet she had only managed to reach the First Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm with the help of a divine brew. Lin Hao, on the other hand, had a mediocre constitution but had actually cultivated to the Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm!
It was utterly demoralizing.
But she wasn’t the only one in shock.
So was Chu Yanwu.
Chu Yanwu had just woken up to hear Turtle Egg’s words.
This wasn’t the first time he had heard the term "Extreme Realm," but no one had reached that state in over a thousand years. Yet now, this master he was bound to had not only reached the Extreme Realm of the Blood Coagulation Realm, but had now also stepped into the Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm!
An achievement this heaven-defying was enough to shake the past and illuminate the present!
Chu Yanwu felt as if he were witnessing the rise of a Great Emperor!
But the shock wasn’t over, because Turtle Egg spoke again.
"I have to admit, this guy’s a true cultivation genius. To go from the Third Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm to the current Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm... it’s taken him less than a year!"
At these words, both Yunxi and Chu Yanwu felt as if they were suffocating.
’To reach his current cultivation level in less than a year... How is that possible?!’
If what Turtle Egg said was true, Lin Hao’s cultivation speed didn’t just completely eclipse everyone in the current generation; even the Great Emperors of old would have to bow their heads in defeat before him.
After the initial shock, they both shook their heads.
’This information is more than just shocking. It can’t possibly be true.’
However, Turtle Egg didn’t even glance at them, speaking solemnly only to Lin Hao. "Kid, you need to be careful. If your old acquaintances were to see you now, they would surely stop at nothing to eliminate you. After all, your rate of growth is just too astonishing."
Lin Hao just smiled without saying a word.
’It seems what this big, ugly turtle said is true,’ Yunxi murmured to herself, her expression becoming incredibly complicated.
She finally understood why Lin Hao paid her no mind, even after learning she was a princess.
She was arrogant because she had the right to be. But when her reasons for pride were compared to Lin Hao’s, they instantly amounted to nothing.
An utterly absurd thought even flashed through Yunxi’s mind. ’Maybe I really should stay by his side and serve as his maid. If I don’t, I’m afraid I won’t even be qualified for the position in the future.’
The thought vanished as quickly as it came, immediately dismissed by Yunxi.
But the look in her eyes as she watched Lin Hao was incredibly complex.
She wasn’t the only one; Chu Yanwu felt the same way.
Originally, he had only acknowledged Lin Hao as his master because of the Blood Oath.
Furthermore, Lin Hao could activate the grand formation within the mansion, leaving Chu Yanwu no choice but to concede.
Back then, Chu Yanwu had felt nothing but humiliation, a deep and utter disgrace. That was why he had licked the wine jar clean. He was desperate to improve his cultivation and avenge his shame.
But since then, everything Lin Hao had revealed left Chu Yanwu utterly shaken.
Putting the peerless divine brew aside, Lin Hao’s cultivation alone had already soared far beyond his imagination.
Especially now, after learning that Lin Hao had broken through to the Extreme Realm, his entire mindset had shifted dramatically.
The Extreme Realm, after all, existed only in legends. An Emperor Venerable was once said to have broken through to it, but that was merely a legend, and it was only for a single realm at that.
But now, Lin Hao had broken through to the Extreme Realm in two major realms. If he were allowed to fully develop, he would absolutely become an Emperor Venerable—and likely one who surpassed many Great Emperors.
To be the servant of an Emperor Venerable was not a disgrace, but an honor.
"Master, this old servant shall devote my life to your service." With this thought, Chu Yanwu abruptly dropped to his knees, once again pledging his loyalty to Lin Hao.
"That won’t be necessary. Just go and take care of the situation outside for now," Lin Hao said, conjuring a wicker chair out of thin air.
He placed the wicker chair in the pavilion and sat down, looking perfectly at ease.
Only then did Chu Yanwu raise his head, seeming to notice for the first time that someone was attacking the mansion.
"Yes, Master," Chu Yanwu replied respectfully, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Lin Hao took out a jar of wine and tossed it to Yunxi without a second glance.
Yunxi caught it, biting her red lip as she poured a cup of wine and offered it to Lin Hao.
"Kicking back in a wicker chair to watch the show, with a princess for a maid to pour you peerless divine brew. Damn, you sure know how to live, kid! Watch out you don’t get struck by lightning!" Turtle Egg cursed, then vanished as well.
WHOOSH!
He was incredibly fast. When he reappeared, another wicker chair had materialized next to Lin Hao.
Turtle Egg leaped onto it, mimicking Lin Hao by flopping into the wicker chair. Then it hollered, "Little maid, pour this divine turtle a cup, too!"
Turtle Egg looked as comical as could be.
Yunxi was fuming, but she didn’t dare lash out. She had received a voice transmission from Turtle Egg—a threat, to be more precise.
The turtle had threatened that if she didn’t obey, he would turn her Beast Taming King Physique into a useless one, incapable of taming any beasts.
Yunxi had already experienced this firsthand, so she didn’t doubt the turtle’s ability in the slightest.
Handing a cup of wine to both Lin Hao and the turtle, Yunxi felt utterly wronged.
’What sins did I commit in my past life to end up meeting a freak like Lin Hao and this perverted, ugly turtle in this one?!’
’To think that I, a grand princess and possessor of one of the twenty-four King Physiques, have actually been reduced to the status of a maid.’
"Old Chu’s not very reliable, is he? It’s been this long and there’s still no sign of any activity." Lin Hao’s words shifted Yunxi’s line of sight.
She raised her head and looked toward the mansion’s main gate, her expression filled with worry.
She knew Marquis Mo was surely outside. ’How will Chu Yanwu handle him?’
