339: Chapter 340 Lilia Successfully Breaks Through

The Velos Continent is not the only landmass on this planet. On the other side of the Endless Sea, which is vast and filled with never-ending violent energy turbulence, there exists an even more ancient, wild Ferocious Beast Continent that follows the naked law of the jungle.

That continent is a true purgatory where the strong prey on the weak. No human-like civilized nations have developed there, nor is there the elegance and magical arts of the elves; there are only endless, terrifying ferocious beasts and magical beasts born, evolving, and slaughtering within the violent magical energy environment.

Their average individual strength far exceeds the legendary level of the Velos Continent, roughly equivalent to the level of a level 180-220 mythic grade BOSS in the Blue Star Class Transferee system. Among them, the top existences might even touch the threshold of level 300. The Giant Dragon race that the Velos Continent is so proud of would likely not gain much of an advantage before the top ferocious beast tribes over there.

For tens of millions of years, the two continents have been separated by an absolute natural chasm known as the Endless Storm Belt. It is a ring-shaped sea area of incredible width, with the sky above perpetually shrouded in terrifying energy clouds and superstorms over ten thousand meters thick, where lightning intertwines and astral winds cut like knives. Beneath the sea surface lie bottomless trenches, violent undercurrents, and lurking ancient sea monsters.

The level of chaotic energy contained in this death zone is so high that conventional sailing and flying are acts of suicide. Measured by the power system of the Velos Continent, without absolute strength that transcends the peak of the legendary level and reaches the threshold of a demigod (roughly equal to level 250-300 on Blue Star), it is impossible to cross. And the Velos Continent has not produced a native being of this level for thousands of years.

Because of this, the two continents have formed completely independent ecological and civilizational circles, not interfering with each other and having no specific knowledge of the other's details.

However, at this moment, the global energy tremors triggered by Lilia's absorption of the plane core had one of its strongest epicenters acting precisely on this Endless Storm Belt that maintained the balance between the two continents!

The tearing effect on the planet's rules caused by the fluctuations of the world's origin, like an invisible giant hand, violently shook the energy structure of the Endless Storm Belt. Those eternally existing, terrifying energy clouds as thick as lead were forcibly torn open with several huge rifts of varying depths, some hundreds of kilometers long!

The violent thunder and lightning storms became disordered and weakened at the edges of these rifts, and the chaotic spatial turbulence also experienced a brief period of calm. Even more startlingly, several rifts even penetrated the cloud layers, allowing the long-absent, real sunlight to pierce straight down into the inky black sea surface that had been surging for tens of millions of years, like light spears cast by a god!

Wherever the sunlight reached, the churning waves seemed to become slightly more docile. Although they still surged violently, the absolute sense of deathly silence that destroyed all life was broken.

This was not just a brief anomaly. Judging from the nature of the plane core's fluctuations and the energy traces remaining at the rifts, this tearing effect would likely last for a considerable period, and might even be permanent structural damage.

In other words, stable and passable gaps had appeared in the Endless Storm Belt that separated the Velos Continent and the Ferocious Beast Continent!

The natural chasm between the two continents, which had been isolated for countless ages, was forcibly pierced through!

It is foreseeable that before long, the top predators on the Ferocious Beast Continent, who have keen perceptions and are extremely sensitive to energy changes, will discover these newly appeared, relatively calm passages. They will be attracted by the relatively mild energy environment on the Velos Continent's side and the scent of fresh prey.

When that time comes, the surging beast tide will be like a burst flood, crashing through this fragile barrier and bringing destruction and death to all living beings on the Velos Continent—whether they be humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, or the recently surrendered Giant Dragons.

That will be a terrifying disaster sweeping across the entire continent, concerning the life and death of all races.

For the time being, Lin Muyang's group, located within the origin space of the plane core, was still completely unaware of all these potential crises. The energy there was surging and isolated from the outside; their attention was entirely focused on Lilia's promotion process.

Fortunately, even if rifts appeared in the storm belt, the top existences of the Ferocious Beast Continent would not swarm in immediately or on a large scale. They need time to discover the passages, assess the risks, test the waters, and then conduct the actual invasion. This left a buffer period for the Velos Continent, or rather the newborn Radiant Empire, that might not be long but is critically important.

Moreover, even if those ferocious beasts are powerful enough to sweep away all existing resistance on the Velos Continent, in Lin Muyang's eyes, they are still just relatively strong ants. If he truly had to deal with them, it would simply be a matter of spending more time and clearing them out a few more times. The real trouble lies in the scale—an entire continent with billions of terrifying ferocious beasts is by no means an easy task to clear and will inevitably take a long time.

Time quietly slipped away amidst the flow of energy.

Half an hour is quite long for those waiting, but for Lilia, who was undergoing a life transformation, it might have been just a blink of an eye.

Finally, the surging milky-white energy torrent that had been continuously pouring into Lilia's body began to gradually slow down and thin out, eventually stopping completely. The pulsation of the plane core's light sphere returned to its original steady rhythm, although the radiance it emitted seemed a bit dimmer than before. This was an inevitable loss after part of its origin had been absorbed, which would take hundreds of years to slowly replenish.

Lilia, suspended in the air, saw the intense halo around her body that was impossible to look at directly gradually internalize and contract. Her crystal-clear, almost light-like skin became solid and fair once more, but the luster was already different—a texture with inherent divine brilliance, as warm and smooth as jade. She slowly opened her eyes.

In that instant, Lin Muyang seemed to see two miniature, pure silver moonlight glows flash and vanish deep within her light green eyes, subsequently turning into a calm that was as clear as a spring yet as deep as a sea of stars.

Her entire temperament underwent a world-shaking change. Her former liveliness, playfulness, and agility still existed, but they were enveloped by a deeper divine majesty and ethereal holiness that naturally flowed out after her life level leaped.

Standing quietly in the void without saying a word, she naturally became the focus of this pure white space, as if she were the darling of the world and the incarnation of rules, inspiring awe and making one instinctively want to bow down in worship.

However, when her gaze fell upon Lin Muyang, that invisible divine radiance that created a sense of distance instantly melted away like ice and snow. A joyous smile, brighter and more radiant than ever before and coming from the depths of her soul, blossomed on her exquisite face. In that smile, there was still unreserved reliance, attachment, and an inseparable love for him.

"Brother Muyang~"

Her voice rang out, still crisp, but as if washed by the purest mountain spring, carrying an ethereal and distant charm like a celestial sound from the highest heavens, striking directly at the heart.

She floated lightly in front of Lin Muyang, tilting her small face up. Her eyes were shimmering with color, carrying the excitement of completing an important mission and a bit of coquettishness as she waited for praise:

"I succeeded! I've finished absorbing all the energy from the plane core! Now, my talent has successfully broken through and become a true God-level talent!"
