Chapter 668: Chapter 424: Instantaneous Sea Region

The Secret Sea churned.

Lu Cang saw the Red Legion marching over the horizon! He also saw Angels shining in the sky, sending down thick pillars of golden light!

The weaker creatures in the Secret Sea had already been annihilated in the aftershocks.

This land seemed like a prize waiting to be carved up.

Every powerhouse wanted to claim a piece of this great sea for themselves.

The Original Sea and the Lord of the Sea—two great seas—were merging.

Kumironi was also in the turbulent waters, his face contorted in pain, his eyes vacant.

"Even the Red Legion is here..."

"Starting a war in the Secret Sea... It seems they intend to eliminate key figures from other factions."

In Low Tier battles, superior numbers can still play a role.

For example, between a Level 2 and a Level 3, the gap isn’t that significant.

But the difference between Level 3 and Level 4...

A Level 4 Mage can already influence legion-level battles, with a single Tornado sweeping an area hundreds of meters wide. Meanwhile, a Level 3 Mage is still using Flame Spear Technique and Ice Wave Technique to attack targets a dozen or so meters away.

The gap is already immense.

That’s why in High Tier battles...

...the advantage of numbers becomes negligible, especially with a two-level difference, like a Level 6 fighting a Level 8...

As long as it’s a normal Level 8 Reincarnator of a Battle Profession, it doesn’t matter how many Level 6s show up.

Unless.

The Level 6 is an absolute, era-defining genius like Izparut or Lu Cang.

"The Red Legion is Bani’s personal army."

"In a state of war, the legion’s coordination allows them to accomplish the feat of killing enemies of a higher level."

"There’s a record of such a feat. A troop of just 500 Level 6 Reincarnators surrounded and killed a Level 8 Archer."

"But that was tens of thousands of years ago."

Lu Cang spoke up, "From the looks of it, they’ve mobilized far more than five thousand men this time."

The distant crimson stretched across half the sky.

Looking out, he could make out sparse figures even at such a great distance.

There might have been tens of billions of them.

"Heh, I said they could use an elite force of five hundred to kill a Level 8 Archer..."

"But I never said their entire legion was only five hundred strong."

"When fully mobilized, the Red Legion’s strength can rival that of a true Level 9 Reincarnator."

"This Secret Sea is really getting lively."

A Tier Nine Demon, the "Lord of the Sea"; the fundamental origin of the Ocean, the "Original Sea"; the distant Red Legion... and these were only the things visible on the surface.

What lurked in the shadows was completely unknown.

"Kid, if this keeps up, you’ll be dragged into it too."

"But, I see you have the means to survive the aftereffects of the Original Sea..."

"Are you planning to get involved as well?"

"But they’ve likely all come with a purpose. If you get involved, have you thought about what you want to get out of it?"

Lu Cang: "Hmm... no, I’ll pass."

’Yelieya is no longer in the Abyss of the Sea.’

’The Sword of Purifying Fire and Judgment, which Roya had used to land that one blow, vanished while it was falling toward the sea.’

’Yelieya has already escaped the Secret Sea.’

’The "Core" is now in the distant Moon Sea.’

’I should be able to reach the Moon Sea directly through the Core on Yelieya.’

’Forget it.’

’If I get exposed, then so be it.’

Lu Cang had a thought.

BANG!

The Core on Yelieya broke out of her Spatial Bag and appeared outside.

The outside was a desolate battlefield.

It was also the ancient ruin he had wanted to explore before.

Yelieya and Rhine were both there, discussing what had just happened in the Secret Sea.

When they saw Lu Cang’s Core suddenly appear, Yelieya jumped in fright.

But she quickly calmed down.

Rhine was there too.

’I remember Rhine being absorbed into Sophia’s body. I thought he was really dead for good.’

’After all, the Divine Authority of resurrection was said to come from Sophia.’

’It seems...’

’...it might not have anything to do with Sophia after all.’

’What Aigemisa said wasn’t necessarily the truth.’

’But since they’re already back in the "Moon Sea", I have a way back now. I don’t need to die here to return.’

Lu Cang left a "Core" where he stood.

Immediately, his physical body vanished, reappearing the next second from the Core next to Yelieya.

With this method, he returned directly to the ruins.

SWOOSH—

Seeing Lu Cang suddenly appear, Yelieya’s heart skipped another beat.

Lu Cang landed steadily, as if nothing had happened.

’Hmm...’

’I left the Core in the Secret Sea.’

’So that means, using this method, I can travel back and forth between the Secret Sea and the Moon Sea...’

’Next time I reset to this timeline, I can try leaving a Core in place right from the start.’

’Next time, maybe I won’t need an exact Replica... I’ll see if that changes anything.’

"Lu Cang?"

"You..."

The Sword of Purifying Fire and Judgment had reappeared in Yelieya’s Storage Space.

’Returning after dying in the Secret Sea.’

’Lost items return... and everything I gained in Aigemisa’s Trial is also preserved.’

"Sister Yelieya."

"I’m not too clear on what happened in the Secret Sea..."

"But I have more important things to do right now."

Lu Cang exchanged a few pleasantries with Yelieya.

Then he immediately vanished from the spot again.

SWOOSH—

In just a few flickers, Lu Cang returned to Atlantis City and left his "Core" in his room there.

’Leaving a "Core" in the ruins is too unsafe.’

"Kid..."

"This is the Moon Sea, isn’t it?"

An Su said in his mind.

"How did you cross such a vast distance?"

"Getting from the Secret Sea to the Moon Sea isn’t instantaneous. Not even the Perception of a Level 9 Reincarnator can cross the vast expanse of sea from the Secret Sea past the Muddy Sea to reach the Moon Sea."

Between the Secret Sea and the Moon Sea lies the Muddy Sea.

The two seas are not adjacent.

"It’s just a Skill achieved through Magic."

"It is a bit difficult, but not impossible."

If it were ordinary Magic Control, this would naturally be impossible. Perception is the limit of one’s awareness; where Perception cannot reach, Magic cannot be controlled.

Therefore, the control and casting range of normal Magic cannot exceed one’s Perception Distance.

An Su found it hard to understand.

But it was indeed difficult to comprehend, as it required the interaction of multiple Root Magics, each with different principles, to accomplish.

An ordinary Mage could never master so many Root Magics on their own.

’Returning to the Secret Sea now would be too dangerous.’

’The battle over there is gradually escalating to a Level 9 conflict.’

’The aftershocks of the battle alone could kill me.’

’Although even if my physical body were destroyed there, I could still undergo Rebirth using the Core I left here in the Moon Sea...’

’But it’s better to be safe.’

Lu Cang slowly closed his eyes.

The Core he had left in the Secret Sea grew eyes, and through the eyes of this "Core", Lu Cang watched the events unfolding in the Secret Sea.
