"Deacon Mark, when can we enter the ancient ruin, and are there any special requirements?" Cedric asked directly in a calm tone. But his words were carrying a trace of anticipation.Oh, you're willing to go?"Mark's expression eased instantly, and the faint tension between his brows disappeared, as if a small burden had been lifted from his shoulders. It seemed he would not need to spend additional effort persuading Cedric to participate this time."Hehe, there are no special requirements," Mark replied with a light chuckle, his mood clearly improving. "The first batch of exploration teams will enter in ten days. If you arrive later, you will have to enter on your own."He paused briefly before continuing in a steady voice, "Once you reach the location, you only need to declare your identity as an external member of the corporation to gain entry. Of course, if you are willing, you may also move together with the army under the ‘Sea Dragon Pavilion,' where I am currently stationed.""S

"Whew~"The moment Cedric broke through the thin atmosphere surrounding Blazing Fire City, his vision was instantly filled with a scene that defied all common sense.The starry sky, which should have been vast and serene, now appeared as though it had been violently torn apart by some incomprehensible force. Endless cracks spread across the void like a massive web, each fissure glowing with a flowing silver light that resembled liquid energy.Through those fractured gaps, enormous pieces of land could be seen drifting slowly in the distance, their outlines blurred by the unstable space around them. From time to time, a fragment would drift too close to one of the glowing cracks, only to be instantly shredded and swallowed, leaving no trace behind.Whoosh~Cedric did not pause. His figure accelerated continuously, his speed climbing rapidly until it exceeded a hundred times the speed of sound, cutting through the chaotic region with precise control.After nearly an hour of uninterrupte

The Midnight Land is huge, with almost no end to cover.Countless races and lifeforms live in the Midnight Land. Metal Lifeform is one of those countless races.However, unlike any other races out there, be it whether it is Metal Lifeform, Fire Lifeform, Plant Lifeform, or more... such lifeforms are considered unique. A Metal Lifeform is a unique type of living entity whose body is composed entirely of metal or metal-like substances, yet still possesses consciousness, instincts, and the ability to evolve.Unlike ordinary machines or constructs, they are not artificially programmed. Instead, they are closer to natural lifeforms that just happen to have a metallic physiology.Their bodies usually behave like liquid metal or adaptive alloys, allowing them to freely change shape, compress, expand, or transform into weapons and tools depending on the situation. This gives them extremely high survivability, as physical damage can often be dispersed or repaired by restructuring their form.

"Hmm? That is..."The moment Cedric stepped into the hidden space, his attention was instantly drawn forward, as if an invisible force had seized his senses and locked them onto a single point.The chamber behind the cave was not large, roughly comparable to an ordinary bedroom from his past life on Earth, yet the atmosphere within it carried an inexplicable weight, as though time itself had settled and solidified here over countless ages.At the very center of the space, resting silently upon the ground, was a golden skeleton.The golden skeleton was not particularly imposing. Even if it stood upright, it would likely not exceed one and a half meters in height.However, its structure was distinctly unusual.While broadly humanoid, its arms were far longer than normal proportions, and atop its skull were two sharp, backward-curving horns, resembling those of an antelope, giving it an eerie and ancient appearance."This skeleton..."The instant Cedric laid eyes upon it, his heart stirr

"One at the Mortal Star Realm, one at the advanced stage of the Transcendent Soul Realm!"Cedric sensed the strength of the two people and muttered.The fluctuations in their auras were clear and undisguised. One was at the Ninth Stage of the Mortal Star Realm, while the other was at the Advanced Stage of the Transcendent Soul Realm. Neither of them had stepped into any profound threshold that would cause a qualitative change.Moreover, there was no trace of Source Law comprehension on the body of the Mortal Star Realm warrior that could suppress an opponent outright.To an ordinary Mortal Star Realm warrior, such opponents would be terrifying existences. But to Cedric, they were far from insurmountable.After his breakthrough to the Star King Realm, Cedric had not been idle. He had spent a considerable amount of time within the Mirror Battlefield, engaging in countless simulated battles against a wide variety of opponents. Those simulations were not mere sparring matches; they were b
