Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

This miraculous rain lasted for three days and three nights.

There was no more fighting or roaring in Huangyun Valley; only 50,000 figures sitting cross-legged entered their own transformation.

Those who had been unconscious for several days were awakened one after another by the continuous soaking of the rain.

Some people were astonished to find that their torn tendons and ligaments had been reconnected, even stronger and wider than before; others lifted their severed arms and watched as the bones grew back and the meridians reconnected.

Meanwhile, the young female Heavenly Alliance soldier whose left arm had been severed had a persistent shower of light that miraculously sprouted a completely new arm.

"This... is unbelievable!" Her eyes instantly reddened, but she gritted her teeth and didn't shed a tear.

You know, not long ago, when her right arm was torn off by a skeleton, she tried many methods, but nothing worked, seemingly because the place was too eerie.

Although she was strong-willed, she was still a woman, and losing an arm would be something she would absolutely find hard to accept.

"Alliance Leader... Thank you!" She looked up at the void above, her eyes filled with respect.

And there are many people like her.

On the first day of this rain, many Allied soldiers recovered from their injuries.

So, on the second day, even more people encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation.

The light and rain penetrated deep into the body, washing over the foundation again and again, refining the originally mottled and mixed aura into a pure and solid state.

Finally, some people have begun to make breakthroughs.

As the backbone of these 50,000 Heavenly Alliance soldiers, the aura of the Heavenly Alliance soldiers in the Dragon Transformation Realm rose steadily, and one minor realm after another broke through silently. Some went straight from the fifth level of Dragon Transformation to the seventh level, and some stepped from the eighth level of Dragon Transformation to the peak of the ninth level, only one step away from the higher level.

Those Heavenly Alliance soldiers at lower levels experienced even more astonishing advancements. One soldier, newly entered the Ascension Realm, broke through three realms in three days, a feat he himself could hardly believe.

By the evening of the third day, the last ray of colorful light had quietly dissipated.

A brief silence fell over the valley.

Then, the first person opened their eyes.

Then came the second, the third... Fifty thousand gazes lit up almost simultaneously, illuminating the entire Royal Fall Valley.

The middle-aged man in black slowly stood up and looked down at his hands, which had once broken knife tips and shattered ribs.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in his palm flowed like a surging river, more than twice as powerful as it had been ninety days ago! He clenched his fist suddenly, and a sonic boom exploded in the air. Wherever the wind from his fist passed, the rubble on the ground was shattered into pieces.

"How...how is this possible? My...my cultivation..." he murmured, his voice hoarse but unable to conceal the tremor within, "Ninth level of Dragon Transformation...peak! I was stuck at the eighth level for fifteen years, but this breakthrough...only took three days!"

The young female member of the Heavenly Alliance, whose left arm had been severed and then regenerated, had tears welling up in her eyes. "My spiritual foundation is 30% stronger than before... the resilience of my meridians has doubled... In these three days, I've probably avoided decades of detours!"

"Who isn't!" A burly man with a scarred face grinned. He had originally broken three ribs and shattered half of his shoulder blade, but now his internal injuries were completely healed, and his cultivation level had skyrocketed from the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm to the fifth level. His chest brimming with pride, "I feel like I could punch that skeleton soldier from three days ago to death!"

"That's nothing," someone interjected from the other side, their voice brimming with barely suppressed smugness. "I went straight from the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm to the eighth level! Now my spiritual energy is inexhaustible; I could fight for three days and three nights without even breaking a sweat!"

"Hahaha, I haven't broken through that much, but look at this." One person raised his hand, and a blade condensed in his palm, its sharpness fully revealed, more than twice as thick as before. "The rainwater carried something I can't understand, causing the spiritual energy to become incredibly refined. The same move is at least 50% more powerful!"

Fifty thousand people looked at each other, stunned at first by the sight of each other's refreshed aura and fully healed bodies, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

The feeling was as if I had crawled back from hell and then been pushed up to the clouds.

After an unknown amount of time, the laughter gradually faded away.

It's unclear who made the first move, but almost as if by telepathy, the fifty thousand figures turned around in unison, kneeling on one knee towards the sky where the light rain was falling, their heads bowed, but their backs straight.

"Thank you so much, Alliance Leader, for this great fortune!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water, even die a thousand deaths, for the Heavenly Alliance!"

"I would go through fire and water, even die a thousand deaths, without hesitation!"

Every member of the Heavenly Alliance had a face filled with fervor, and the flames burning in their eyes were a hundred times more intense than when they first stepped into this valley ninety days ago.

However, amidst this deafening roar, that familiar voice rang out once more, clear and gentle, yet like a splash of cold water, silencing everyone simultaneously.

"Don't be too happy yet."

"Surviving these three months is merely the first hurdle. My requirements for you go far beyond that."

"I believe your expectations of yourselves are not just this."

"From now on, I will no longer restrain those skeletal soldiers. They will revert to their original strength and ferocity, showing no mercy whatsoever. Whether you can survive in this trial of the Fallen Emperor Valley will depend entirely on your own abilities."

"I hope you will take care of yourselves."

"Only those who survive to the end are true members of the Heavenly Alliance!"

As Xia Jin finished speaking, the faint but overwhelming aura of pressure that had enveloped Huangyun Valley receded abruptly like a tide.

That's right, Xia Jin is gone.

Although his words were a bit harsh, he had seen many different things in these 30,000 Allied soldiers over the past three months.

He had complete confidence in these 50,000 Allied troops.

In the entire Huangyun Valley, only 50,000 figures remained kneeling in place, after a few breaths.

The middle-aged man in black suddenly looked up, his crimson eyes flashing with unprecedented fighting spirit. He grabbed the long sword from the ground and poured his spiritual power into it.

"Did you hear that?" he roared hoarsely. "The Alliance Leader is watching us! He protected us before, and now that we have this great opportunity, if we disappoint him again, tell me yourselves, do you still have the face to leave this world alive?!"

No one answered, but everyone stood up at the same moment.

The young female member of the Heavenly Alliance drew her longsword from her waist, its blade gleaming with light. Her eyes were filled with coldness: "Ninety days ago, we withstood the Skeleton Soldiers. Ninety days later, their offense and defense have reversed!"

"That's right!"

"Fight back!!"

"Let these skeletons taste Grandpa's new fist!"

The 50,000-strong Allied forces did not hesitate at all, and no one even discussed any tactics.

After fighting side by side for ninety days, they had developed a tacit understanding that needed no words.

Some held shields at the front, some charged forward with weapons, some provided support from the center, and some flanked the enemy.

All the formations and combinations are the result of three months of hard-won experience, which has been deeply ingrained in everyone's instincts.

"kill!!"

The first roar exploded!

Fifty thousand figures surged out like a tide, rushing towards the undead soldiers standing still around them!

The eerie green flames in the eyes of the skeletal soldiers suddenly reignited, their ferocity surging. It seemed that without Xia Jin's suppression, they had regained all their ferocity and savagery.

This time, however, they were met with 50,000 fearless eyes and 50,000 bodies brimming with new life.

The middle-aged man in black swung his sword, the blade's energy tracing a distance of several feet, tearing the right hand bone off a skeletal soldier, sending bone fragments flying! He flicked the bone fragments off his sword and grinned, "Indeed... satisfying!"

The young female member of the Heavenly Alliance dodged a claw attack from a skeletal soldier. The newfound strength in her left arm made her more than 30% faster than before. She thrust her longsword forward, precisely piercing the skeletal soldier's eye socket, instantly extinguishing the eerie green flames. With a soft snort, she pounced on the next skeletal soldier without hesitation.

A young man, hiding behind a shield-bearer, seized an opening and darted out. His peak-stage Immortal Realm spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, precisely shattering the joints connecting the spine of a skeletal soldier. The soldier instantly collapsed to the ground, crumbling. He nearly jumped for joy: "I did it! I did it!"

Groups of three to five were working together throughout the valley—some were facing off head-on to draw fire, some were flanking to sever joints, and some were suppressing the enemy with their spiritual power from behind.

Each squad was like a sophisticated meat grinder, shattering the bones of skeletal soldiers and extinguishing the ghostly flames in their wake. The situation, which had been one of constant suppression for ninety days, had finally been completely reversed!

Within the Valley of Fallen Emperors, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

Meanwhile, deep within that void, Xia Jin's figure quietly emerged.

There is no sky, no earth, only an endless gray void, like the chaos before the creation of heaven and earth.

In the very center of this void, a dazzling seven-colored light, like a giant silkworm cocoon suspended in mid-air, flowed with seven-colored radiance, illuminating the entire void with extraordinary splendor.

Xia Jin stood with her hands behind her back, quietly gazing at the silkworm cocoon.

At this moment, the cocoon was covered with dense cracks.

Fine cracks spread from the top to the bottom, and seven-colored light overflowed from the cracks, growing brighter and more intense, illuminating the surrounding void as clearly as crystal.

Xia Jin's lips slowly curved upwards, and a rare look of anticipation appeared deep in her eyes.

"After waiting so long, is it finally... time to be born?"

Sure enough, less than an hour after his arrival, the seven-colored cocoon suddenly began to tremble violently!

The cracks spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the seven-colored light on the surface of the cocoon suddenly surged, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it!

"Click, click, click!"

The sound of shattering continued incessantly.

at last,

"boom!!"

A deafening explosion!

The seven-colored cocoon burst open from the very center! Countless fragments of the cocoon shell transformed into streams of light that shot out in all directions, each trailing a seven-colored tail.

Like a cascading galaxy, it transformed the entire void into a dreamlike fairyland.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.

It was a figure that looked exactly like Xia Jin.

His eyebrows, eyes, facial features, figure, temperament, and even the faint disdain between his brows were all perfectly matched.

The only difference was that the aura flowing around this figure seemed to be slightly weaker than Xia Jin's.

He stepped out from the dazzling light, his bare feet treading on nothingness. The shattered cocoon fragments seemed to come alive, gathering towards him, adhering to his body one by one, and then merging into his skin. With each fragment that merged, his aura grew stronger.

The moment the last piece of the cocoon merges into the body,

An extremely terrifying aura suddenly shot into the sky without warning!

The entire void trembled violently, and the gray-white void was torn apart by that aura, creating dark spatial rifts. Seven-colored light spread wildly in all directions from him, as if a brand new world was created in the chaos.

That aura—the realm of mythology.

Looking at the figure before her, so identical to herself, and feeling the immense, abyss-like pressure, Xia Jin could no longer hide the smile on her face.

He slightly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, his tone filled with undisguised satisfaction:

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your ascension to the Mythical Realm."

The figure opposite slowly opened its eyes, a flash of seven-colored light appearing and disappearing in its pupils.

He looked at Xia Jin, a smile playing on his lips, his voice exactly the same as Xia Jin's:

"Thank you for granting my request."

"We are one, and the stronger you are, the more advantageous it is for me."

Xia Jin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the figure opposite him who was identical to himself. His tone was calm but sharp as a blade, "Now that we have both entered the realm of mythology, our joint efforts against enemies will no longer be as simple as one plus one."

He paused briefly, his gaze fixed on the dark, deep expanse of the void, as if piercing through endless space and landing on the boundless sea stretching to the ends of the earth.

"I've sensed the source of darkness on the other side of the Boundless Sea more than once. Its aura is deep and dark, far from ordinary. What's even more troublesome is that there are at least two or three Mythical Realm beings of the same level lurking around that source."

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze and looked at the avatar. "Although there are two of us, our souls are of the same origin and our minds are connected. When we join forces, we are not afraid of them. But this time, I do not intend to seek only to remain undefeated."

His tone became slightly more serious: "What I want is absolute certainty."

Upon hearing this, the avatar nodded slowly, the composed smile on its face, identical to Xia Jin's, not fading but rather deepening slightly: "That is how it should be."

He took two steps forward, his bare feet stepping on nothingness, and a circle of seven-colored ripples spread out from his feet.

He looked down at his newly formed body, his fingers slightly flexing and extending as he felt the power flowing through his palms. He said, "Although I have broken through to the Mythical Realm, this body is still newly formed. I am not yet fully familiar with many powers, and there are occasional stagnations in its operation. It is far from being perfectly smooth and complete."

He looked up at Xia Jin, his eyes gleaming with a seven-colored light: "How about... we practice together here with our true forms?"

Xia Jin raised an eyebrow, then chuckled softly, looking around at the boundless gray-white void: "This place is inherently separate from heaven and earth, the space is exceptionally stable, and there is no one to disturb it, so it is indeed an excellent training ground."

He took a step forward, and his aura suddenly surged. The vast and abyss-like pressure of the mythical realm spread out as if it were a tangible force, causing the surrounding void to be slightly distorted.

"Perfect timing. I also need to get to know how well your avatar can work with me."

The avatar smiled as well, its aura rising accordingly. The two identical pressures collided and merged in this void, without any sense of repulsion. Instead, they subtly created a harmonious and complementary relationship.

"Then please, Your Excellency, enlighten me."
