All the heads of foreign forces were alarmed by the resurgent voices of the gods and went to their respective holy lands for an audience.
At the same time, they all received a supreme command.
Find the source that made the gods tremble with apprehension.
This command posed a severe headache for all the leaders of the forces; not a single bit of information was provided. It was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, if even the gods were wary of it, weren't these people just delivering themselves as a meal by attempting to locate it?
But they had no room to argue.
Within the Great Xia Realm, at the Tiger-Dwelling Mountain Secret Realm.
Luo Tiance and the others were completely unaware of the brewing storm outside, related to Luo Yu's breakthrough progress. Once the glow around Luo Yu receded and calm was restored, the quaking Secret Realm finally settled down.
The moment Luo Yu opened his eyes, he saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
"What is this?" he asked.
Chang Yin Shan was the first to inquire, "What realm have you broken through to? The magnitude was so great, yet we couldn't determine it."
Luo Yu shook his head, choosing not to hide much.
"I've made a breakthrough in the cultivation technique I practice, but my realm doesn't seem to have changed much."
Shi Kai and the others were astounded, shaking their heads and expressing their surprise, "This is strange, the level of spiritual power and vitality you're displaying now far surpasses that of a regular First Rank Martial Artist, but you show no signs of breaking through to the Second Rank."
Yang Cang nodded, "Breaking through to the Second Rank requires one to comprehend their own path and evolve their Domain into a Dao Ze World, yet your foundation is this solid without even a Domain."
Luo Yu spoke candidly, "On this point, I am also unclear. In fact, I've not been cultivating for very long, and there's a lot that I don't understand as well as all of you seniors."
This statement nearly shattered the composure of the seniors and members of the Martial University team present.
Is this genuine modesty, or is he just showing off??
Without cultivating for long or taking it too seriously, you've reached the level where you can kill a quasi First-Rank Xue Can and, with the help of external forces, a Mountain Lord at the First Rank Summit.
If you've cultivated for a longer period, should the rest of us even bother living?
Cao Ritian in the distance no longer wanted to speak. He originally thought he was pretty good at showing off, but now he's realized his way of bragging was too low-level. He had to learn from Xia Luo, no, Godchild Luo Yu.
Thinking of Luo Yu's true identity, as someone owning over a hundred Deity-level Ancient Spirits, Cao Ritian, Zhu Qing, and the members of the Martial University team present shuddered.
Having displayed the strength of just two Ancient Spirits, it was already terrifying. If Luo Yu were to command all his Ancient Spirits, what a horrifying extent would that reach?
"Hiss—"
Cao Ritian shuddered, already starting to worry about his elder brother.
He always thought his elder brother, Little Cao Zei, was the most amazing, but after witnessing Luo Yu's heaven-defying actions, he began to feel less confident.
Luo Yu had a faint feeling in his heart.
His path of cultivation should be different from that of a normal Martial Artist. Although he couldn't yet break through to a true Second Rank, not even seeing the shadow of it, his strength was continually increasing. He had a premonition that once he truly broke through to the Second Rank, it would be earth-shattering.
"God's Child, at such a young age, how did you manage to cultivate to such an extent? We old folks are truly curious." Cao Ying couldn't help but ask.
The other First Grades perked up their ears to listen. After all, knowing Luo Yu's true identity, they found it hard to believe. After all, God's Child had only just awakened the Ancient Spirits this year, and the speed of his cultivation had surpassed normal human understanding.
Competing with First Grades within less than half a year of cultivation, and potentially ascending on the spot after three years of cultivation?
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a cold snort startled everyone.
Luo Tiance stood in front of Luo Yu, his sharp eyes scanning the others as he spoke indifferently, "Is such a secret really something that can be told?"
"My grandson is God's Child, sheltered by the divine spirits of Great Xia. Isn't it very normal for him to cultivate rapidly?"
"Look at those foreign Godchildren; nowadays, which one of them isn't a First Rank Summit in terms of strength, possessing an abnormally strong physique and talent far beyond ordinary people?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people who were initially joyful suddenly turned sour.
That's right.
According to intelligence gathered by Great Xia, the power of Godchildren who accepted the heritage of deities overseas increased rapidly, rocketing to the First Rank Summit, and it wasn't just the level of an ordinary summit.
And Great Xia had only one Godchild, Luo Yu.
Although his future was promising, he wasn't fully grown yet.
"Don't be so pessimistic!" Cao Ying started, "Our Great Xia has Luoshenzi, and with the other seven of the Eight Great Families' Young Masters not being pushovers, if foreign powers' Godchildren should invade, we will not necessarily be powerless to fight."
Shi Kai and the rest thought of the Young Masters from the top eight great families in Great Xia and immediately felt a little alleviated.
Although they had no heritage from deities, each of the eight Young Masters demonstrated strength transcending mortals. Young Master Qin Qi from the Qin Family was one of them.
At that moment, Shi Kai recalled the upcoming fight between Luo Yu and Qin Qi, addressing Luo Yu, "Brother Luo Yu, about your match with Qin Qi..."
Luo Yu's lips twitched, "At your age, is it appropriate to call a youngster like me a brother?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Is it embarrassing to call God's Child a brother? Not at all! It's an honor!!!" Shi Kai declared loudly in front of everyone.
Others rolled their eyes, seeing that he would discard his dignity to curry favor with Luo Yu!
Luo Yu said, "Since I have agreed to a match with that Qin Qi, why would there be any reason to back down from the fight?"
