The immense tremor caught the attention of all humans in the valley, and even the Black Ants, tens of kilometers away, could hear the commotion.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of humans, the colossal coffin could no longer withstand the tempestuous surge of True Essence emanating from Ye Yun and finally exploded. Zhao Youqin, who had been suspended, was finally freed from his torment.
Witnessing the massive wooden coffin shatter into fragments, everyone was struck with terror and a profound sense of relief. They realized that without the coffin's obstruction, countless lives would have been lost to the impact of the True Essence.
"So that outsider human is that powerful! Could it be that we..."
A middle-aged man with a large belly watched with his numbness slowly receding, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
"Boss, perhaps we can escape this suffering!" His companion gazed at the shattered coffin from a distance. Their spiritual senses could extend for nearly ten kilometers, yet at that moment, none dared to use them.
"A thousand years! Our ancestors have been trapped here for over thirteen hundred years! Perhaps in our generation, we can see the light of day again."
Countless people watched the center of the True Essence storm from afar, their expressions losing their vacant look. More and more people knelt down.
"This is bad! That coffin was reinforced with the Great Yan's Grand Sword of Suppression. Now that the coffin is destroyed, it means the formation there is broken, and that great demon will surely sense it immediately!"
"Xiao Wu, take a few people to our previously scouted location. Make sure to keep a close watch on the demon race's movements within a thirty-kilometer radius."
The middle-aged man spoke to his companion.
As humans being herded by demons, they, as intelligent beings, were constantly seeking a way to escape.
However, Ye Yun was completely unaware of all this. At this very moment, he was trembling as he stared at his divine skill, "Golden Touch," its cooldown timer having reset.
It was not easy, not easy at all!
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player **** for leveling up their Talent to the max level of Fang Max 7! Reward: 200,000 attribute points. Due to the protection period, the full-server announcement has been canceled."

...
Ye Yun felt as though he had gone deaf, his mind flooded with system notifications. However, one piece of information stood out particularly: his 30-day protection period was about to expire in less than a week!
A week seemed like a long time, but for Ye Yun now, it was far too short. Even with a 5% cooldown reduction, his "Golden Touch" still had over 31,000 hours remaining. This meant that his next talent upgrade would be known to everyone on the server, and possibly even to other worlds and races.
At this moment, Ye Yun stood within a secret realm dungeon. Behind him, seven halos shimmered, and a Dharma Aspect phantom, fifteen feet tall, had already begun to take on a human silhouette, surveying the world with an imposing gaze.
True Fire Dharma Aspect (Supreme) - Permanently increases Fire Resistance by 30% and grants the player 100,000 attribute points daily!
After the Dharma Aspect's enhancement, his Fire Resistance had increased from 20% to 30%. The most terrifying aspect was the daily automatic attribute points received, which had surged from ten thousand to one hundred thousand! The value of these attribute points alone was ten billion. A daily income of over a billion was something even Fortune 500 companies would struggle to achieve.
Of course, these were secondary. What moved Ye Yun the most was the automatic manifestation of his talent, meaning he could possess such terrifying talent in reality as he did in the game! His cultivation speed would ascend to a whole new level.
This talent upgrade alone yielded 105,200,000 free attribute points. Combined with previous items, he had accumulated 1 Battle Power Manifestation Card, 4 Skill Manifestation Cards, 1 Physical Manifestation Card, 1 Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the Game event card, and 1 upgrade card for levels up to 20.
Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the Game Event Card - Countdown: 10 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes, 42 seconds. The system will synthesize the player's various attributes. The top ten players on the server who possess the event card will be directly teleported to the battlefield. This card cannot be traded within 24 hours of the countdown.
Finally, this item could be used! In his previous life, he had never heard of any top players participating in this event. He wondered what it would be like.
"Use Battle Power Manifestation Card!" Ye Yun would never let an opportunity to increase his strength go to waste.

"Senior Brother, where did you find such a monster? The True Essence he just broke through with feels so much more terrifying than Master's, almost boundless." Having broken free from the shackles of the iron chains, the raging True Essence fluctuations slowly subsided. Zhao Youqin, enduring the pain all over his body, sat directly on the ground.
Damn, he hadn't sat down in over a thousand years.
"Compared to him, I'm more curious how you got in. I recall that the demonic cave can only be entered by those holding my Southern Sect token, correct?" As the waves subsided, Xue Daoguang also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if this continued, it was hard to guarantee his cheap junior brother wouldn't be crippled.
Zhao Youqin was not a Southern Sect disciple. It was True Person Shi Tai who had coincidentally taught him the Southern Sect scriptures. He and Xue Daoguang shared one thing: they were both once eminent monks. However, after studying under Shi Tai, Xue Daoguang abandoned Buddhist enlightenment and pursued the supreme Golden Core path.
Zhao Youqin was different. He cultivated both Dao and Buddhism, with Dao as his primary focus and Buddhism as a supplement. In terms of achievement, he was no lower than Xue Daoguang. However, they were nearly a hundred years apart, and they had almost no prior interaction, even arguing from afar over Zhao Youqin's book, "The Origin of Immortals and Buddhas."
"Master brought me in, saying he wanted me to bring my disciples for a demon-slaying trial," Zhao Youqin said with a wry smile.
"Master? Where is he then?" Xue Daoguang was taken aback and quickly asked.
"Master... he..."
BOOM!
Innumerable True Essence surged again, and a vast aura pressed Zhao Youqin, who hadn't had time to be swept up by the True Essence storm, flat onto the ground...
Even Xue Daoguang, as a spiritual entity, was involuntarily pushed back seven or eight meters by this aura.
What was happening!
