128: Chapter 128 Virtual Realm Details
Aside from his Physical Body, he continued to examine the surging energy within him. Compared to when he was Silver Rank 10, his energy had almost doubled.
The increase in energy doesn't necessarily mean Gold Rank Professionals can maintain full power for longer.
The double power boost comes at a cost, so a Gold Rank One's burst duration is even shorter than that of a Silver Rank 10.
After all, a massive increase in power means massive consumption. A normal Gold Rank One can only sustain a full power burst for two hours.
However, even without energy, a Gold Rank Professional can still suppress a Silver Rank Professional relying solely on their Physical Body.
Finally, there was the extraordinary sensory perception unique to the Gold Rank. This ability was simply Heaven-Defying, far exceeding Fang Yuan's expectations.
Under extraordinary perception, even if a Silver Rank Professional possessed the same strength as a Gold Rank Professional, the latter could easily defeat the former.
Perception grants unparalleled insight into subtle movements, allowing one to easily discern another's next move.
Its greatest power lies in the ability to control one's own strength more perfectly, effortlessly unleashing powerful energy attacks to strike targets over a wide area.
Before the Gold Rank, True Spirit Talents without long-range attacks, like 【Strength Enhancement】, gained relatively long-range attacks upon reaching the Gold Rank.
A single punch could hit targets dozens of meters away... After Breaking Through to the Gold Rank, Fang Yuan and Gu Yue were unsure what to do in this steel fortress.
The Hidden Mist Forest no longer offered them much help, and Li Xuefei and Lin Zhizhi still needed to stay here, so they too could only remain.
In the following days, with nothing to do, they operated their identity bracelets, browsing through the information within.
After encountering a wider world, as newcomers who knew almost nothing, it was indeed necessary to delve deeper into more common knowledge.
Sea City was too small, with very little information. Not to mention understanding how the calamity events occurred, they could barely survive in the fog.
As the strongest collective—the Human Alliance—they could already begin conquering the Void Realm, treating it as a dungeon for people to level up. The difference was very clear.
Various images and texts scrolled across the identity bracelet, and Fang Yuan gradually delved into much information he didn't know.
First, there was information about True Spirit Professionals.
True Spirit Talent is an manifestation originating from the core of one's Soul. The stronger the True Spirit Talent, the stronger the Soul.
Ranks are divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. An Awakener can have a maximum of four attribute branches.
Even special Talents like Fate's Guidance (Talent) and 【Absolute Frost】, no matter how Heaven-Defying their ability branches, did not exceed this limit.
The Rank classification for Fate's Guidance (Talent) is a Silver Rank special Talent. As for the Rank attribution of the Ice God's 【Absolute Frost】, only she herself knows.
The stronger the Soul, the fewer Bottlenecks one encounters, and the faster a Professional's strength improves.
There was also the Rank classification of True Spirit Professionals. Besides the Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold he already knew, there were also the legendary and highest Epic Rank.
Above these Ranks, there was an even more powerful and unknown Mythic Realm. Even the strongest in the Human Alliance, the Ice God, was still a vast distance from the Mythic Realm.
Fang Yuan couldn't imagine how powerful this unknown Mythic Realm would be.
According to the known strongest Epic War Gods among humans, especially those with Transcendent True Spirit Talent, each of their casual strikes could cover tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand meters.
If Sea City were to face such an existence, it probably wouldn't last a minute before the entire Sea City would turn into ruins.
The unknown Mythic Realm above this must be several times more Heaven-Defying, but currently, no one likely knows how terrifying it would be.
Besides the Ranks of True Spirit Professionals, the information scrolling on the identity bracelet also included various rare treasures, true spirit artifacts, Inscription Masters, and other miscellaneous details.
What particularly caught Fang Yuan's attention was the Rank classification of the Void Realm.
After exploration by more than a dozen Epic War Gods of the Human Alliance and all human Professionals, people discovered that the Void Realm is divided into Surface and Deep layers.
The Surface Void Realm refers to Tianlan Star and other assimilated semi-Void Realms/Void Realms.
Tianlan Star, for instance, has actually been assimilated by the Void Realm all along, it's just that the degree of assimilation isn't deep. Over twenty years of exploration by the Human Alliance, forty-eight worlds similar to Tianlan Star have been discovered.
These semi-Void Realm worlds still have intelligent beings resisting the Void Realm's assimilation, and a large portion of them have been assimilated by the Void Realm for much longer than Tianlan Star.
A very few semi-Void Realm worlds have even given birth to powerful existences in the Mythic Realm. It was through these places that the Human Alliance learned of the Mythic Realm Rank.
Corresponding to these unfallen semi-Void Realm worlds are the Void Realms that have been completely assimilated, such as the Land of Evil, Earth Demon Territory, and so on.
These types of Void Realms have completely become part of the unknown Void Realm, and the creatures within have entirely transformed into monsters. Many of the strongest monsters in the Void Realm are the creatures that originally lived there.
Once a world is assimilated by the Void Realm, if its creatures do not escape, they will contract monster syndrome, transform into monsters, and become part of the Void Realm.
The same is true for humanity's Tianlan Star. If the Human Alliance cannot resist the Void Realm's assimilation, then they must escape to other worlds not yet assimilated by the Void Realm.
Otherwise, the fate awaiting humanity on Tianlan Star will be erosion by the monster factor, becoming a monster.
The Surface Void Realm even has sub-Ranks, namely the Fringe Void Realm and the Near-layer Void Realm. Among them, Void Realms with only Epic Rank Monsters as the strongest are called Fringe Void Realms, and they are the most numerous type of Void Realm in the Surface Void Realm.
The Near-layer Void Realm, on the other hand, possesses Mythic Realm monsters. It is a massive Void Realm that emerged from the Fusion of multiple Fringe Void Realms, and this type of Void Realm currently poses the greatest threat.
Even more terrifying than the Near-layer Void Realm is the Deep Void Realm, whose slightest trace is difficult to glimpse in the endless abyss.
This is the collective term used by Mythic Realm powerhouses from other worlds for the even more terrifying abyssal calamity beneath the Near-layer Void Realm.
Even they do not know if there are truly more terrifying Void Realms deeper within the Near-layer Void Realm.
Based on current observations, although the existence of the Deep Void Realm cannot be witnessed firsthand, almost all rumors suggest that the Deep Void Realm truly exists.
The Human Alliance does not have Mythic Realm powerhouses, so in recording information about the Deep Void Realm, they rely on rumors from other semi-Void Realm worlds.
...!
The discussion of the Void Realm made Fang Yuan's heart race. The source of all calamities, the Void Realm, was so mysterious that humanity couldn't even approach the Near-layer Void Realm.
As for exploring the origin of the Void Realm, that was even more distant and unreachable. No one knew what the starting point was that triggered the Void Realm assimilation phenomenon.
The more he understood the Void Realm, the more he felt how weak he currently was, without any sense of security.
The immense pressure from the Void Realm filled Fang Yuan with a sense of urgency, causing him to become even more diligent in the following days, striving to improve his strength...
