135: The world changes again, a surge of source energy.

Above the sky, the chains' phantom, which had been flickering in and out of existence, suddenly solidified several times over!

It was thicker and clearer than when Lu Yuan first saw it!

It was as if an invisible giant hand was tightening the cage that bound this world!

The secret realm space's compression speed suddenly accelerated!

"Rumble—!"

The earth shook and mountains swayed!

The seawater around the volcano seemed to be forcefully pressed down by a giant hand!

The sea level dropped sharply at a visible rate!

Large areas of dark, slippery seabed were exposed, and some reefs and small islands that were previously hidden underwater gradually appeared.

Meanwhile, the existing islands began to collapse at their edges and shrink in overall area amidst the violent tremors!

The entire map of the Lost Water Realm underwent a drastic change at this moment!

The seawater around the volcano was even forcefully pushed aside by an irresistible power!

It revealed the complete, massive volcanic structure, thousands of meters high, and the deep, unknown darkness at the bottom of the crater.

Immediately after, another anomaly occurred!

Pure Source Power, a hundred times more immense than during the first great integration, erupted like a volcano that had accumulated for ten thousand years!

It surged out wildly from all directions—from the sky, from the ground, from every inch of the void!

The extremely pure Source Power almost materialized!

It formed a visible Source Power mist, rapidly filling every corner of the secret realm!

Its concentration was so high that even the air became viscous!

"This... this is..."

On the platform, the various factions, who had been fighting to the death, were stunned by this sudden cataclysmic change.

Duan Kong's Vajra Pestle, which was about to strike Brother Octopus again, stopped abruptly in mid-air.

The thunder roar spear in Zhang Yue's hand flickered with electricity, his expression frozen.

A Blood Fiend Blade Aura that Zhou Wanhe had just unleashed lost its momentum midway and was dispersed by the dense Source Power.

De Xiner's scattered poisonous powder andinsanity (gu) worms withered and dissipated in the face of this violent Source Power tide, as if they had encountered their nemesis.

Even the three ferocious Sixth-Tier Demonic Beasts temporarily ceased their attacks, a hint of confusion and longing appearing in their scarlet beast eyes.

The Old Flame Spirit's brows were tightly furrowed; he could feel that this new energy was incompatible with this world, making him somewhat uncomfortable, and the flames on his hammer flickered slightly.

The battle involuntarily stalled.

Everyone was awestruck by this sudden surge of Source Power!

This Source Power was too pure! Too vast!

It felt as if just one breath could make one's strength leap forward!

"Hahaha! A heaven-sent opportunity! A heaven-sent opportunity!"

Lu Yuan was the first to react, his eyes, hidden behind the clouds, bursting with ecstasy!

The concentration of this Source Power was much stronger than last time! It was simply a windfall!

He had tasted the sweetness of the last great integration, and his Source Power limit had skyrocketed.

This time, its scale and intensity were more than ten times greater than the last!

This was simply a feast tailored for him!

He instinctively, without hesitation, sat down cross-legged!

The breathing technique operated at full power!

Boom!

Lu Yuan felt as if he had transformed into a bottomless black hole, like a whale swallowing a river, frantically drawing in the dense, undissolvable Source Power around him!

Massive amounts of Source Power, as if finding an outlet, surged into his limbs and bones, nourishing every cell and every acupoint!

His Source Power reserve did not immediately change because he was already at his peak.

However, he could clearly feel that his Source Power limit, which had already reached Third Rank Three Star, was skyrocketing at an incredible speed, as if it had boarded a rocket!

Bottleneck? Non-existent!

Under this terrifying infusion of Source Power, any bottleneck was like paper, easily broken!

"Absorb Source Power! Quickly! Absorb Source Power!"

The crowd on the platform finally recovered from their shock.

When they felt the pure Source Power around them, so rich it almost dripped, their eyes all turned red!

"Damn it! This is a huge opportunity! Everyone, absorb it!"

Zhou Wanhe was the first to react, no longer caring about the heart of rules, he roared, sat down cross-legged, and frantically circulated his cultivation technique.

"Quick! Everyone, absorb with all your might!"

Zhang Yue and Duan Kong exchanged glances and immediately issued orders.

The Provincial Government team members, as if waking from a dream, followed suit.

De Xiner's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she unhesitatingly joined this Source Power scramble.

Even the few Sixth-Tier Demonic Beasts, relying on instinct, opened their huge mouths and frantically devoured the surrounding Source Power.

The 'regularization' traces already present on their bodies became clearer and more solidified at a visible rate under the nourishment of this Source Power!

The entire volcanic area fell into an eerie silence.

There was only the whistling sound of Source Power surging wildly and the heavy breathing of the crowd.

Everyone temporarily put aside their grievances and struggles, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to this sudden Source Power feast!

This was a race against time!

Whoever could absorb more Source Power within this limited time would gain greater benefits!

Lu Yuan was now completely immersed in the pleasure of his Source Power skyrocketing.

His Source Power limit, like a rocket, was climbing steadily!

1300 points!

1500 points!

1800 points!

2000 points!

Third Rank Five Star!

2200 points!

2500 points!

Third Rank Six Star!

Vast Source Power, like a surging river, roared within him, constantly scouring his meridians and expanding his Source Power sea.

Each increase in his limit brought him an indescribable sense of comfort!

"Awesome! So awesome!"

Lu Yuan roared in exhilaration in his heart.

This feeling of rapidly increasing strength was more intoxicating than anything else!

The surface of his skin even emitted faint, multicolored lights due to the overly complex Source Power absorbed, appearing extraordinarily mystical.

The Flame Sprite also poked its head out from his embrace, opened its small mouth, and then spat out, making a sound like 'pui pui,' as if it had eaten something as unpleasant as feces.

What kind of thing is this? Even dogs don't eat it!

At the same time, the others on the platform also had their own gains.

Zhou Wanhe's aura was soaring under the impact of the massive Source Power, showing faint signs of a breakthrough!

As Fourth Rank Peak Card Masters, Zhang Yue and Duan Kong also felt a long-awaited loosening; their Source Power limits were steadily increasing, bringing them closer to breaking that barrier!

De Xiner's eyes were even more alluring, and the poisonous Source Power within her, combined with the pure Source Power from outside, seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation.

Even the Provincial Government team members, the weaker Card Masters, had all broken through their original realms, each showing joyful expressions.

This was a great opportunity that affected everyone!

Time, in this frantic absorption, passed minute by minute.

Lu Yuan's Source Power limit, after breaking through Third Rank Six Star (2500 points), still showed no signs of stopping!

2600 points!

2700 points!

Still rising!

Third Rank Six Star Peak, even vaguely touching the threshold of Seven Star!

Just as this Source Power surge was raging and everyone was immersed in the joy of rapidly increasing strength—

Buzz—!!!

A sudden change occurred!

In the center of the volcanic platform, the dark red heart of rules, which had been suspended in the core of the card array, suddenly burst forth with supreme crimson light after absorbing countless amounts of vast Source Power!

The crimson patterns on its surface were completely outlined at this moment!

An indescribable pressure emanated from the heart of rules!

It had completely finished its final transformation!

At the same time, in the sky, the chains that had become clearer and thicker seemed to sense something.

They trembled slightly, and the power of confinement they emitted became even stronger!

As if to completely lock and solidify this secret realm!

The Source Power surge also seemed to be weakening, perhaps because its transformation was complete.

The feast was about to end!
