Five million new players flooded Red Moon City, marveling at its hyper-realistic sci-fi world and endless opportunities for wealth and power. Veteran players reflected on their harsher early days, but Luo Wushang warned of intensified competition from geniuses and capital-backed experts. He commanded Bone Forging Realm members to recruit high-potential newcomers using base resources, while rallying Blood Coagulation Realm players for action. Major guilds, including Celestial Might, mobilized to expand amid the player boom.

Suddenly, millions of players burst outward from Red Moon City’s core, shocking the investigators from all major factions who had rushed over.

Within merely two days, an astonishing number of Gray-clothed Disciples had appeared in Red Moon City. Though their power remains quite low, far below Martial Artists, the Gray-clothed Disciples from Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are famous across the Four Domains. Every one of them holds immense potential, far beyond what common folk can achieve.

Boasting easy entry into the Bone Forging Realm might sound overstated, yet reaching the Bone Forging Realm is practically guaranteed for them. Certain Gray-clothed Disciples could even climb to Blood Coagulation Realm mastery. Even if just one percent succeed, millions turning into a horrifying force becomes unavoidable.

Not just the major powers arriving in Red Moon City were stunned; even those from the other three Domain Cities found it hard to believe.

"How could there be so many Gray-clothed Disciples? Does the Hall Master aim to conquer the Four Domains?" Ling Ye gazed at the Gray-clothed Disciples filling every street and lane in Red Moon City, his scalp crawling with dread, and turned to his teacher nearby, unable to hold back, "Should we alert the Deputy City Lord right away?"

She understood the fighting prowess of Gray-clothed Disciples well. Each one typically battles beyond their current level.

Right now, these millions of Gray-clothed Disciples may appear weak, but once they advance to Bone Forging Realm, it equals millions wielding Blood Coagulation Realm might. A mere one percent hitting Blood Coagulation Realm means tens of thousands matching Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters.

Even uniting the other three Domain Cities, such a force would seem laughable in comparison.

The total Grandmasters in all Four Domains combined might barely reach a tiny portion of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s strength by then.

"No surprise that all three Domain Cities sent investigators at once. Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall truly harbors endless ambitions; no single domain can hold it back." The Third Elder furrowed his brows tightly, drew a heavy breath, and declared, "Our lone report won’t suffice. Link up with the other two teams; we’ll submit a joint alert to the superiors."

The early intel from Red Moon City had already shocked everyone—hundreds of Grandmasters openly acknowledged, plus four Great Grandmasters stationed there. Whispers claimed Hall Master Lin Qi had just broken through, unleashing a Qi and blood surge over dozens of kilometers, a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle that nearly forced him to his knees.

With Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now spawning millions of Gray-clothed Disciples, he questioned whether he’d stayed truly awake these days or merely dreamed in Celestial River Domain City.

Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s revealed power defies challenge from any lone city or domain; only a united front from three cities might hold it in check.

Meanwhile, inside Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the Hall Master’s office.

Transformed fully into an Intermediate Meditation Room, even regular folks lingering here turn into prodigies, their minds buzzing with constant flashes of insight.

"Level Four permissions pack real power, and the Level Four hidden permissions bring a massive leap, letting me pull out player-learned skills at will now." Lin Qi eyed the system’s player roster, letting out a soft sigh, "Too bad the success rate sits under 30%, limited to fifteen tries daily; more would be ideal."

He had ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm. Yet the Energy Blood Essence for that final push was immense—two hundred full Energy Blood Essences went into it.

Post-breakthrough, he’d evolved into a true Extraordinary Life, irreversible now. His Qi Blood Strength eclipses Luo Wushang’s by more than thirty percent, with Qi and blood density doubled. His raw power hits one hundred thousand tons, forcing careful control in every action, particularly his aura and Qi and blood, demanding strong mental restraint. Without it, Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Artists couldn’t get within a kilometer.

Today, hitting fifteen million reservations unlocked Level Four hidden permissions, bestowing a fresh extraction power.

Any martial skills or training techniques players have mastered can now be extracted with some chance of success, unbound by what he originally supplied. That’s a huge enhancement.

His initial pulls targeted the Demigod Inheritances from Twilight of the Gods and company. Sadly, low success odds yielded just four hits from fifteen tries, elevating four techniques from the Eighteen Styles of Desolation to proficient mastery—especially the ninth, ’Stars Like Rain,’ an Intermediate Ultimate Technique—greatly lifting his spirits.

Unleashed via his Extraordinary Life, this technique avoids self-damage yet drains him heavily. Still, with it plus the system-drawn mallet, he believes he can clash against average Divine Fusion Realm foes.

Should ’Stars Like Rain,’ the ninth style, hit Realm of Perfection, he’s confident facing standard Divine Fusion experts sans self-destructive arts.

As Lin Qi rued the scarce extraction slots, a woman bearing three pairs of golden wings stepped in: Xie Feina.

"Hall Master, agents from the three cities are stirring, apparently set to jointly notify the Domain City." Xie Feina spoke with evident worry, "That could prompt the Insect Race to act."

Prior to Mist Mountain Domain City merging with Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, she remained ignorant of Canglan Star’s real state. But upon complete integration, learning the Four Domains’ truths chilled her to the bone.
