Chapter 1242 - A Lineage Full of Legends
While Luo Hao, Ye Yuanming, and the others were planning to surround and eradicate Chen Fan's group, the Peerless Peak freaks were seeking treasures and opportunities to help Zhu Yue, Zhuge Mingyue, and Jian Qi advance into the Legendary realm.
News spread of others stumbling upon powerful relics and rising rapidly in cultivation.
Someone obtained a warhammer that unleashed lightning with unmatched force when activated. It was an immortal artifact.
But its allure proved overwhelming. Bloodshed followed, and in the end, no one knew who claimed it.
Another person accidentally entered a dangerous zone. Barely escaping, he emerged with a skeletal hand bone and fused it with his palm. Though only an early Lesser Legend, he could unleash power comparable to a mid or late-stage cultivator. The bone had come from an immortal.
One more obtained an immortal's legacy. Now cloaked in black sand, they were indestructible.
The appearance of such opportunities stirred the world. Some were left by the Featherlight Immortal Sect, and others had been buried here long ago. Whether they could be claimed depended on luck and strength.
Alongside this, there were also reports of whose immortal affinity had reached a thousand feet.
After all, people chose different paths: some sought strength first through treasure hunts; others targeted those with high immortal affinity before chasing power.
Over a month later, some had plundered enough immortal affinity to surpass the thousand-foot mark, earning the qualification ticket to open the Door of Immortality.
Chen Fan's group roamed the lands and encountered quite a few people, including Legends.
However, the fierce reputation of Chen Fan's group had spread. Although everyone knew they possessed many treasures, even immortal artifacts, few dared to try robbing them.
Moreover, many who spotted them from a distance avoided them altogether, fearing they'd be robbed instead.
By now, quasi-Legends had become the lowest tier. Lesser Legends were common, barely worth mentioning. Only Greater Legendary realm experts remained truly dominant.
A few days later, Chen Fan's group was fortunate enough to discover several treasures.
In a small pond, dozens of jade-like blood beads floated on the surface. They held no trace of immortal affinity, suggesting that the Featherlight Immortal Sect hadn't left these behind. It was native to the land.
No one knew how long they'd been there, or whose blood it was. The pond was eerily quiet—no fish, no plants, just cool, clear water and the drifting blood beads.
Swallowing a drop ignited one's insides, burning their skeleton, blood, and flesh, and turning them bright red. The pain was unbearable.
After the excruciating pain subsided, one felt indescribably comfortable and relaxed. They felt thoroughly cleansed, both inside and out. In Zhu Yue's words, it felt like he had ascended to immortality, or his soul had left his body.
After Chen Fan and the others consumed several blood beads, all their hidden injuries were healed. Duanmu Lingxing, who had only recovered thirty to forty percent, almost fully recovered. The blood beads proved far more effective than top-grade recovery elixirs.
As for Zhu Yue, Zhuge Mingyue, and Jian Qi, their auras became even more robust, reaching the peak of the quasi-Legendary realm. They were a light push from breaking through to the Legendary realm now.
Next, they found a stalk of White Jade Old Ginseng growing atop a humanoid statue. As soon as they pulled it out, the statue collapsed, turning to dust, drifting all over the air, and dissipating into nothingness.
The old ginseng emitted a rich, intoxicating medicinal fragrance that refreshed one's mind. Anyone could tell that it was extraordinary and became the key to the trio's breakthrough.
Huang Wuji discovered a rotten, wooden casket in a dark crevice. There was no corpse inside it, only a purple-gold battle halberd resting in silence, as if echoing the glory of past battles fought beside its master.
It was an immortal artifact—one perfect for Huang Wuji
Being a Greater Legend, the halberd was like adding wings to a tiger. It could greatly amplify his power.
After that, they stumbled upon one opportunity after another.
"It's about time."
On this day, Chen Fan's group stopped their search for opportunities and treasures, as what they'd gathered was more than enough for the trio to break into the Legendary realm and stabilize their cultivation.
The trio's eyes lit up brightly. They could finally make their breakthrough to the Legendary realm.
They found a secure location and began their breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the others spread out to form a perimeter to prevent any interruptions.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
A month and a half had passed, so half the three-month limit was gone. Only about six weeks were left before the final test ended.
None of the eight had yet reached the required thousand feet. Huang Wuji, who had the most among them, was still over a hundred feet short.
However, they were in no hurry. Once the trio broke through, it would be their turn to act. Zi Dongyang's group was the prey, and the hunt was about to begin.
Boom, boom!
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above. Terrifying heavenly might swept out.
The five of them looked up, eyes narrowing.
It had begun.
After ten days, the trio had finally started their breakthrough into the Legendary realm, triggering their legend tribulation.
All three were monstrous talents; naturally, their tribulations were extraordinary, drawing massive energy and attention.
The other five all became vigilant. Over the past few weeks, they had picked up scattered rumors.
Zi Dongyang and the others had regrouped and were preparing to launch a large-scale attack to wipe them out. They were currently searching for their whereabouts.
Furthermore, according to their information, the enemy force was strong enough to eliminate them.
This was a critical moment. The trio needed absolute focus. The others had to stay sharp and ready to intercept any threat.
Fortunately, this place was too remote. Although the trio's tribulation caused a huge commotion, few noticed. The breakthroughs went undisturbed.
Now, with the trio ascending, all eight Peerless Peak freaks had stepped into the Legendary realm. It was a truly legendary achievement.
"Congratulations on stepping into the Legendary realm," said Chen Fan with a smile.
Zhu Yue smiled frankly and said, "I can't compare to you. You advanced not long ago, but you are already in the middle-stage Lesser Legendary realm.Tsk tsk."
While the trio had been in secluded cultivation, Chen Fan had also used some opportunities, and his cultivation had broken through to the middle-stage Lesser Legendary realm. His strength had risen to another level again.
