In the end, only three remained to communicate with the Sword Emperor, while one member of the Shadow Clan disappeared in a manner unique to the Shadow Clan.

Chapter 1314, Clone Contact

Hemlari has a very cheerful and easygoing personality, but is also a bit stubborn. He treats his friends with sincerity and would never intentionally deceive them. Even if there are things that are inconvenient to say, he will speak his mind.

When communicating with Hemlari, Yi Shuihan didn't have to worry about whether her words were appropriate or not, nor did she have to worry about scheming against him. In short, it was a very harmonious feeling.

From Hemlari, Yi Shuihan learned a lot about the centaur race, including their customs, values, and so on.

Most of the time, Hemlari did the talking and Yi Shuihan listened. Hemlari was surprisingly talkative, and once he started talking, he could talk for days and nights without any problem.

After all, Hemlari was a tough guy, and they were just ordinary friends, so they didn't chat for long. Half a month later, they went their separate ways.

In the palace of the True Eye Emperor, Yi Shuihan dared not enter his personal world. Although he felt that even if his personal world was discovered, the True Eye Emperor probably wouldn't do anything to him, he didn't want to gamble. He wasn't familiar with the True Eye Emperor, and it would be bad if the True Eye Emperor had some ulterior motive.

Spending a thousand years in the palace was a painful experience for Yi Shuihan, but he had no choice; the secret realm was clearly more important.

Since the palace was not a place for seclusion or in-depth cultivation, Yi Shuihan could only find ways to pass the time. He would occasionally chat with Hemlari, but most of the time he would play by himself.

"so boring!"

After playing through the game he had created 10,000 times, Yi Shuihan finally couldn't take it anymore and put the game console away in a bit of frustration.

In fact, Yi Shuihan had tried to play games with Hemlari, but the other party seemed to have a strange resistance to games, and after a few attempts, they stopped.

To keep himself from getting bored, Yi Shuihan even approached the Emperor and Shi Fei, but in the end, everyone was uninterested.

People used to play virtual reality games, and because they were all socially active, they weren't really that into games. What game could be as fun as a real game?

"Hmm, let me think, what should we be grateful for now? Sleep? That's something to consider. If we force ourselves to sleep, we'll definitely wake up. The moment we close our eyes and open them again, it'll be almost over."

As a true saint, one does not need to sleep, but if one really wants to sleep, one can, and one does not need to worry about not being able to sleep.

"Sleeping is one option, otherwise I can do some research, broaden my horizons, pursue a side career, study formations, crafting weapons or alchemy or something."

In the myriad realms, almost every cultivator has a secondary profession. After all, these skills don't fall from the sky. While some are willing to risk their lives to earn a living, most prefer to cultivate a secondary profession and use it to make money.

Many others, unable to make further progress in their cultivation, shifted their entire focus to their secondary professions.

As a cheater, Yi Shuihan could easily become a master-level secondary profession if he wanted to, since the system's abilities were too overpowered.

This time, to pass the time, Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't use the system to cheat; he relied entirely on his own research.

He started with alchemy, progressing step by step from the most basic pills for mortals to the pills for true saints. His progress was quite fast.

In a hundred years, Yi Shuihan's alchemy skills had reached the point where he could refine pills for True Saints. This speed was undeniably fast. However, considering Yi Shuihan's strength, which was comparable to that of a Chaos Emperor, everything seemed perfectly natural.

After alchemy came weapon crafting, which took him another two hundred years. In the end, Yi Shuihan successfully crafted a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

After weapon crafting comes formation. Researching this is possible, but actually implementing it is quite troublesome because many formations require a very large space, which is not feasible in a palace setting.

We can't actually do it, but Yi Shuihan can simulate it in his mind, and spending some time on it is acceptable.

Several hundred years passed, and the millennium was drawing ever closer.

On this day, Yi Shuihan was studying formations as usual when he suddenly felt a stirring in his mind and realized something.

Dimly sensing a change deep within his soul, Yi Shuihan became alert.

After carefully perceiving the source of the change and finally understanding the cause and effect, Yi Shuihan's face showed an expression of surprise mixed with some delight.

"So that's how it is!"

Muttering to himself, Yi Shuihan fell into deep thought.

The source of the changes in Yi Shuihan's soul was Yi Shuihan's clone, the clone that Yi Shuihan sent into the Main God Space to plot the origin of a higher world.

Because of the advancement of his personal world, a smaller amount of advanced world origins would not be of much use. Therefore, Yi Shuihan allowed his clone to develop freely in the God Space, and he truly obtained a large amount of advanced world origins to reconnect with.

Later, after entering the Multiverse United University, Yi Shuihan found it easier to obtain advanced world origins. He bought a lot of them with boundary points and eventually invested them into his personal world. He stopped investing in them when they were no longer effective. As a result, he no longer needed advanced world origins, and his clone was basically left to its own devices. If his clone hadn't contacted him this time, Yi Shuihan probably wouldn't have remembered it for a long time.

According to the message from the clone, the clone has recovered to the cultivation level of a True Saint and possesses 80% of the strength of the main body, excluding the world it possesses. It can be considered a quasi-Emperor Peak.

Yi Shuihan was not surprised by the speed at which his clone grew, after all, it was the God's Space, which was comparable to a school.

"My clone is doing quite well in the Main God Space! It's here to enter the secret realm this time too."

That's right. According to the clone, their next destination should be the same place, the secret realm that can increase the probability of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm, if there is no other secret realm like that.

"Ten reincarnators from the Main God Space are also going to the secret realm. So, the secret realm isn't just open to the school. We might also see people sent by the company, plus other forces. This trip to the secret realm shouldn't be as simple as it seems on the surface. However, my clone and I are in the open and in the shadows, so we have the upper hand. As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Chapter 1315, Arrival of All Parties

In fact, when Yi Shuihan learned that the secret realm was not in the school, he had a vague idea that the secret realm was not exclusively owned by the school. Now, the news of the clone completely confirms this.

Different forces will certainly not be so harmonious, and it is normal for there to be competition, unless the secret realm is completely controlled and everyone who enters gets the same result.

Yi Shuihan is not afraid of competition. As long as his competitors are True Saints, no matter how many True Saints there are, they cannot defeat him. His confidence comes from his own formidable strength.

He continued to while away the time in the palace, and finally a certain day arrived. To be specific, it was the 321st day of the 999th year since he entered the palace. Yi Shuihan remembered it clearly; only he would be so bored as to calculate this.

The True Eye Emperor reappeared and gathered everyone together.

"We're almost at the secret realm. I'll take this opportunity to explain some things. It's not just our school's students who are entering the secret realm this time. In other words, there are other quasi-emperors who will be entering the secret realm besides you. I don't know exactly how many, but it should be no less than a hundred."

“You are the ten strongest students in the school. Yi Shuihan, Huang Ama, and Shi Fei all have the power to fight against the Chaos Emperor. As long as you unite, you will definitely be a powerful force in the secret realm.”

"What you need to be careful of are the reincarnators in the Main God Space. Reincarnators are a bunch of lunatics. You never know what they're thinking. If possible, it's best not to have any contact with them. As for others, such as those from the Multiverse Skills Company, you can have appropriate contact with them."

When the company was mentioned, Yi Shuihan felt that the Emperor looked at him meaningfully, clearly knowing that the company was behind Yi Shuihan.

"...Finally, I hope that when you come out, you will appear as the Chaos Emperor."

After talking for about an hour, the True Eye Emperor finally stopped.

As if timed perfectly, just a few dozen seconds after the True Eye Emperor stopped speaking, the palace suddenly paused and came to a stop as well; the secret realm had finally been reached.

They followed the True Eye Emperor out of the palace and appeared in the chaotic void.

"That is......"

The sight not far away made Yi Shuihan's pupils shrink slightly. A black hole resembling the structure of a donut was devouring everything around it, not even the chaotic energy could be spared.

An infant universe is being swallowed by that black hole at a rapid pace; it is estimated that it will be completely devoured in just a few hours.

"Is the secret realm near the black hole?"

This question arose in Yi Shuihan's mind, and he immediately began searching for places that might be secret realms.

After searching for a long time, Yi Shuihan still couldn't find a trace of the secret realm. It was highly unlikely that the True Eye Emperor had tricked them into coming here, so the secret realm must exist. The fact that they couldn't find it could only be Yi Shuihan's problem.

"That's true. If it were that easy, this secret realm might have been discovered sooner, instead of waiting until now."

It's normal that it's not easy to find, so Yi Shuihan wasn't too disappointed. Anyway, he would definitely enter the secret realm later, and then he would naturally know where it was.

"True Eye, I didn't expect you to be the first one here."

As they spoke, the void in front of Yi Shuihan and the others suddenly rippled, and a warship appeared in their sight.

The fact that the speaker can address the True Eye Emperor as "True Eye" without adding "Emperor" clearly indicates that he is also a Chaos Emperor.

"So you're the one leading your demon-slaying army this time! Baki, does that mean the seedlings you brought are quite good?"

The True Eye Emperor wore a smile on his face. The Baki he mentioned was the same person who had spoken earlier, Baki the Emperor. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite familiar with Baki the Emperor.

"Comparable to your Multiverse United High School, you've produced three prodigies!"

As he spoke, Baki looked over at Yi Shuihan, his father, and Shi Fei, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

Yi Shuihan, the true form of Baki-oh, was not discernible, but outwardly appeared as an old man who was no different from an ordinary human.

Behind Baki were 10 demon-slaying soldiers dressed in the same uniform, 3 of whom were human like Yi Shuihan.

These demon-slaying soldiers exuded an astonishing killing intent, clearly the kind of people not to be trifled with. As demon-slaying soldiers who frequently fought against evil spirits, their combat power was beyond doubt.

The Demon Extermination Army has fewer geniuses than the All-Worlds United High School, but that doesn't mean they don't have any. What Yi Shuihan is seeing now are the geniuses trained by the Demon Extermination Army. In Yi Shuihan's perception, these geniuses are no worse than Hemlari and the others, and the strongest is probably comparable to a Mad Demon.

Unlike the geniuses in schools, the Demon Extermination Army is an army, which means they are better at group battles and their teamwork is definitely more seamless. It's quite normal for them to have some kind of combined attack formation. If they all unite, they should be able to threaten someone of the Emperor's level.

Yi Shuihan noticed that the quasi-emperors of the Demon Extermination Army were very familiar with his side, indicating that they must have known each other before. This could be seen from the fact that they mainly focused on Yi Shuihan, the Emperor Father, and Shi Fei.

"The school's candidates were all decided in the school's competition, so it's not surprising that we were recognized."

The school competition is a grand event, known throughout most of the myriad worlds. There are hundreds of billions of spectators on site, and countless others watching the competition in their own worlds. It's normal for the Demon Extermination Army to know about Yi Shuihan and his group; on the contrary, it would be truly abnormal if they didn't.

Even though it was Yi Shuihan's clone, the Main God Space provided information about the top ten in the school competition.

In fact, if a conflict were to actually occur, the school would be at a disadvantage. Everyone knows some information about Yi Shuihan and his group, but Yi Shuihan and his group don't know who they are facing.

The True Eye Emperor and the Baki Emperor walked to the side and talked about something using a special method of communication. Yi Shuihan and the others couldn't hear exactly what they were saying, but the atmosphere between them seemed quite good.

After some time, the participants of the secret realm arrived one after another under the leadership of the various Chaos Emperors. Soon, more than a hundred Quasi-Emperor Peak cultivators arrived, and the number of Chaos Emperors also exceeded ten.

This was the first time Yi Shuihan had seen so many Chaos Emperors. With so many Chaos Emperors around, Yi Shuihan felt considerable pressure and couldn't help but tense up.

Chapter 1316, Entering the Secret Realm

Yi Shuihan certainly didn't care about one or two Chaos Emperors, since he himself possessed the strength of a Chaos Emperor. Although his strength as a Chaos Emperor was definitely among the weaker ones, he could at least easily escape from a Chaos Emperor.

There were more than a dozen Chaos Emperors, none of whom were weak. Yi Shuihan estimated that even if he could fight them to a draw in a one-on-one fight, he would be lucky; he would more likely be defeated.

When there are stronger people around you, the best thing to do is to keep a low profile and not attract attention. However, Yi Shuihan wanted to keep a low profile but couldn't. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his reputation as the top student in the school competition was too famous. Most of the people present were focused on him, as if he were a big star.

Everyone was observing Yi Shuihan very discreetly, afraid that if they were too obvious, they would be noticed by Yi Shuihan, and they didn't want to offend this prodigy.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan's intuition was too sharp. No matter how careful they were, Yi Shuihan still felt threatened from behind, which was not pleasant at all.

Faced with this situation, Yi Shuihan could only endure it, though he secretly hoped to enter the secret realm as soon as possible.

"Taiyi, why do I feel like you're somewhat similar to Yi Shuihan?"

In the Main God Space faction, next to Yi Shuihan's clone, a pale-faced man, looking like someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activity, spoke in a sinister tone.

"Such a keen sense."

The clone was slightly startled, but on the surface remained calm, making it impossible to discern its thoughts.

"So what do you think our relationship is?"

"Is he your older brother?"

"Heh, if I had an older brother like him, I wouldn't be standing here today."

"That's true. If he really is your older brother, or has some relationship with you, you should be enjoying yourself at the Multiverse United High School instead of fighting in the Main God Space."

The reincarnator who communicated with Yi Shuihan was nicknamed Yin Xu. Yi Shuihan felt that Kidney Deficiency was more suitable for him. He had some grudges against Yi Shuihan because Yi Shuihan had climbed to the top by stepping on Yin Xu. Therefore, Yin Xu often targeted Yi Shuihan.

The relationships among the reincarnators in the God Realm are complex. Among the 10 reincarnators who came to the secret realm this time, many of them have grudges against each other. If it weren't for the Chaos Emperor above them keeping things in check, it would be normal for them to fight amongst themselves.

Of course, as a seasoned reincarnator who has experienced all kinds of torment in the God Space, he knows how to assess the situation and cooperate with others. However, he may be unreliable at crucial moments and will not entrust his back to others.

For a reincarnator, the most important thing is not combat power, but the ability to survive, because as long as they are alive, everything can be started over. It can be said that among the hundreds of quasi-emperors present, the most difficult to kill are these reincarnators.

"This secret realm was discovered by my Demon-Slaying Army. Originally, we intended to keep it for ourselves, but the purpose of our Demon-Slaying Army is to slay demons and cultivate more Chaos Emperors for all the heavens and myriad realms to enhance our strength. This is what our Demon-Slaying Army wants to see, which is why you have come."

As Baki-Oh's voice spread, Yi Shuihan realized that the discoverers of the secret realm were the Demon Extermination Army.

"The fact that you can come here shows that you have the potential to become Chaos Emperors. I don't ask anything of you, I only hope that you will kill more demons after you become Chaos Emperors. If any of you do not want to kill demons after becoming Chaos Emperors, you can say so now, and you can choose not to enter the secret realm."

Demons can be considered the negative force in all the heavens and myriad realms. Unless a being is determined to destroy all the heavens and myriad realms, no one will have a good impression of them. Therefore, killing demons is an easy thing for the quasi-emperors to accept. At this moment, naturally no one would be so brainless as to think that they do not want to kill demons.

Baki nodded, then flew out towards the black hole, arriving at its outer edge to everyone's astonishment.

The black hole's suction force is considerable, but a Chaos King can still handle it.

After arriving at a certain spot on the outer edge of the black hole, Baki stopped moving. Then, he took out a key-shaped object and threw it out.

Strangely, the key was not affected by the enormous suction force, but slowly merged into the void, and where the key merged, specks of light began to flicker.

A vortex slowly appeared, growing larger until it was large enough for three people to pass through.

"That's the entrance to the secret realm!?"

It is easy to determine the true nature of the vortex.

It must be admitted that this secret realm is really well hidden. Not only is it near the black hole, but the entrance also requires a special method to open. It is unknown how the Demon Extermination Army found this secret realm.

As the entrance appeared, the Chaos Emperors also took action, escorting their respective Quasi-Emperors to the entrance of the secret realm.

The suction force of this supermassive black hole is still very strong. Without the escort of the Chaos Emperor, even a Quasi-Emperor Peak would be in some danger.

"The entrance can only be maintained for 100,000 years. After 100,000 years, it will automatically close. You must come out before then, otherwise even if you break through to the Chaos Emperor level, you will only face death."

"Baki-sama said solemnly."

The danger level of a secret realm where even a Chaos Emperor could perish is unimaginable. Immediately, even a quasi-emperor became alert and remembered the 100,000-year timeframe.

"To prevent any accidents, it's best to leave the secret realm beforehand."
