Millions of Gray-clothed Disciples suddenly appeared in Red Moon City, shocking investigators from the major forces across the Four Domains who marveled at their potential to become a massive army. Personnel from the three Domain Cities coordinated to report Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's alarming growth and ambitions to their higher-ups. In the Hall Master's office, Lin Qi reflected on his Heavenly Human Realm breakthrough, new Level Four permissions allowing skill extraction from players, and received Xie Feina's warning of impending actions from the three cities and possible Insect Race involvement.

Who could have imagined that Domain City, idolized across the Four Domains, turned out to be a mere Insect Race slaughterhouse. They had flocked there willingly. Thankfully, the destruction of Mist Mountain Domain City happened; else, the newcomers from the three Domain Cities would still be ignorant, just like those fools.

At first, she intended to warn the three Domain Cities' personnel outright, yet she hesitated, fearing leaks would spread the truth throughout the Four Domains, enraging the Insect Race into a brutal extermination campaign that spelled doom. The Insect Race's might is overwhelming; Azure Blue Star serves merely as one of their cultivation grounds. Should they grow furious, wiping out the whole planet would pose no challenge. Preserving a facade of peace remains the wisest path for the moment.

Yet now, reports from the three Domain Cities detailing Red Moon City's chaos have left her anxious, lest the Insect Race perceive the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall as a danger and unleash a total purge, returning to their brutal old ways of control.

"Pay them no mind, carry on as normal." Lin Qi nodded calmly and stated flatly, "Deploy extra hands to City 41 and push them to hasten the energy blood essence conversion."

At present, Azure Blue Star's troubles barely faze him, for without intervention from Prison Dragon Star's Star Lord, no force there endangers him. Still, wary of that Star Lord, he aims to hasten his efforts, demanding greater quantities of energy blood essence to attain the Heavenly Human Realm.

With Prison Dragon Star's Star Lord yet unaware of him, accelerating advancement for more players is essential. Players surge forward rapidly, particularly from Blood Coagulation Realm to Heavenly Human Realm, facing scant bottlenecks thanks to the Training Technique; ample energy blood essence ensures swift breakthroughs.

The current daily yield of ten thousand energy blood essences falls short. He seeks to boost production threefold or fourfold before the Star Lord stirs, allowing a surge in Heavenly Human Realm players within days.

"Understood." Xie Feina gazed at the composed Lin Qi, her unease easing somewhat. She departed the office to oversee City 41's arrangements.

Xie Feina's exit prompted Lin Qi to detect a mighty aura erupting far off in the Wraith Mountain Range.

"What's that? Such an aura and bond—what's Luo Wushang up to in the Wraith Mountain Range?" Lin Qi instinctively pulled up the player list via the system panel to inspect Luo Wushang's status.

The display revealed an endless chain of peaks, with Luo Wushang commanding Blood Coagulation Realm players in a frenzy of slaughter against hordes of Catastrophe Level Monsters. These behemoths, soaring a hundred meters high and a nightmare for Celestial Human Grandmasters, crumbled like soft tofu before Luo Wushang. She felled them effortlessly, sans finesse, and soon stood before a grand, imposing peak.

"President, a massive energy ore vein lies beneath this mountain. Claim it and erect a town, and energy ore shortages won't plague us for decades." Twilight of the Gods gestured at the colossal height, voicing concern, "But our scouts' prior probes revealed a horrifying beast dwelling here, hailed by NPCs as the Wraith Mountain Range's sovereign. Even peak Blood Coagulation Realm warriors crumple under one strike from it."

Celestial Might now eyes a town foundation, with multiple Wraith Mountain Range sites available. Though fearsome beasts guard those too, elite Blood Coagulation Realm fighters can trade blows for moments. Here, however, a full-powered energy burst from a top Blood Coagulation Realm expert ends in instant defeat. Without doubt, it's the game's mightiest beast yet.

"A peak Blood Coagulation Realm expert falls to one hit?" Luo Wushang's excitement surged at the words, "Fine, I'll take the lead. Wait for your opening."

Since entering Heavenly Human Realm, Catastrophe Level Monsters shatter under a single strike from her, offering no real sparring. This presents the ideal chance to gauge her power against the Wraith Mountain Range's overlord.

Luo Wushang then stormed toward the vast, sky-piercing mountain.

As Luo Wushang barreled toward the peak, a piercing alarm shrieked from a hidden cavern scores of kilometers distant.

"What's this? That vitality signature—could it be a Great Grandmaster?"

"The king-level monster's territory. Does that fool aim to slay the king-level monster?"

"Has this human lost her mind? Subduing that king-level monster demands multiple lords uniting. And one lone Great Grandmaster challenges it?"

More than a dozen Insect Race captains gawked at the monitor, watching a Human Race female charge the Hell Snake King's den. Shock gave way to mocking laughter.

A Tier 4 beast like the Hell Snake King, mid-tier no less, overpowers even elite legion leaders of equal rank—let alone some Human Race Great Grandmaster.

As the intruder neared the mountain, the buried Hell Snake King roused abruptly, erupting from the soil and lashing its tail at her. The devastating swing ravaged the landscape, engulfing dozens of kilometers in devastation.
