At that mont, three consecutive system alerts chid in Lance’s mind. Originally, Lance had planned to conclude his seclusion after an extra half hour.
However, he ended up staying for over forty minutes, pushing his Constitution to the powerful Great Grandmaster (Rank 3) level!
After all, only with sufficient strength could one truly be prepared for any contingency.
System Alert: Congratulations! Your Martial and Soul realms have both reached the Great Grandmaster level! Your mastery over the Undying God-Body and the Primordial Law Body has increased!
Undying God-Body: Physical repair speed x10! Soul repair speed x10! Physical fragntation threshold x10! Soul fragntation threshold x10! Combat power multiplier increased to 1000%!
Primordial Law Body: 10,000,000x talent boost activated!
The three alerts made Lance’s eyes light up.
The physical fragntation threshold ant that while Lance previously needed at least one-thousandth of his body to regenerate, he now only needed one-ten-thousandth!
As for his Soul, the threshold had reached one-thousandth!
This ant his Soul could be torn into a thousand pieces. When that happened, the level of his Eternal Soul Protocol would jump straight to Tier 7 Fragntation!
At that point, the explosive power Lance could unleash would skyrocket to 128 tis its base!
Furthermore, since his physical fragntation limit had increased tenfold, the benefits gained after regeneration would also multiply several tis over. Combined with a tenfold increase in repair speed, his cultivation speed would effectively be dozens of tis faster!
However, Lance could still upgrade his Furious Absorption.
Once Furious Absorption reached the Perfect mastery level, his cultivation speed would increase even further.
With all these buffs stacked together, he should be able to reach a hundredfold cultivation speed.
Before, he could gain 25,000 Soul points per minute. After this upgrade, it would be a staggering 2.5 million per minute!
That was 150 million per hour.
With that kind of efficiency, his realm would soar by four or five levels in a single sitting.
What’s more, Furious Absorption hadn't even undergone Reconstruction yet. If it did, the effects could double or triple again!
"In that case, I’ll increase my fragntation threshold and push Furious Absorption to Perfect mastery before I head out."
Without hesitation, Lance sacrificed his Soul and flesh!
Boom!
In an instant, Lance’s entire being dissolved into a cloud of blood mist. This ti, he left behind only a single scrap of flesh no larger than a fingernail.
Hum!
Suddenly, a surge of power flooded into that tiny piece of flesh.
In a heartbeat, Lance’s physical body was completely restored!
The repair speed was terrifying.
Simultaneously, within his Consciousness Hub, Lance’s Soul began to reconstruct itself at a frantic pace.
It took only a few seconds to fully recover.
In that mont, Lance felt a sudden shift in his Soul.
His entire Soul felt ten tis more condensed than before. Furthermore, while his energy absorption speed remained constant, the rate at which his body was damaged by the strain significantly decreased!
System Alert: Congratulations! Your mastery of Furious Absorption has reached the Perfect level! CON peak absorption speed increased from 40x to 80x! Soul peak absorption speed increased from 25x to 50x!
System Alert: Congratulations! Your Soul fragntation level has reached Tier 7! Combat multiplier: 128x!
A flurry of alerts echoed in Lance’s mind.
The mont his mastery over the Primordial Law Body increased, his talent multiplier also increased tenfold. Consequently, Lance instantly pushed Furious Absorption to the Perfect level.
He had already been on the cusp of reaching it anyway!
Between the level-up of Furious Absorption and his enhanced repair speed, Lance’s CON and Soul absorption rates had both doubled!
This effectively doubled his cultivation speed once more.
With everything combined, his cultivation speed had indeed surpassed the hundredfold mark!
Lance didn't hesitate. He sacrificed his flesh and blood again, cultivating for a single minute to test the results.
System Alert: Congratulations! One minute of body repair completed. Gained 4,000,000 CON!
System Alert: Congratulations! One minute of Soul repair completed. Gained 2,500,000 Soul!
In just sixty seconds, Lance’s CON value had exploded by 4 million, while his Soul value had surged by 2.5 million!
"This speed is absolutely insane!"
At this rate, in less than an hour, both his CON and Soul realms would leap through several minor sub-ranks!
Lance imdiately opened his Status Panel.

Lance’s comprehensive combat power had jumped five minor ranks, even though his actual level had only increased by two.
In other words, the remaining three-rank jump ca from his newly upgraded talents and abilities.
This eightfold power difference was enough to push Lance’s talent to yet another tier. Of course, even Maya couldn't accurately estimate his talent level now, because Lance had never once been forced to use his full strength!
"My talent level is at least Prival Grade now, maybe even Cosmic Grade! If that’s true, I should be able to clear that secret realm easily. Still, I need to watch out for those so-called universal powerhouses. It would be a real pain if one of them tried to possess ."
Lance’s eyes flickered. His current strength was formidable.
Unfortunately, he might eventually face Universal Class or even Domain Lord Realm super-powerhouses. Such beings possessed lifespans of over a hundred million years; they wouldn't die easily.
There was a high probability of lingering remnant souls. If they tried a soul-snatching possession, Lance would gladly show them the aning of soul-refining techniques.
But if they used other underhanded thods, he might find them difficult to resist.
Regardless, he had to make his move.
He checked the ti. Only five hours remained until the next day’s Reconstruction Quota reset.
This trip to the secret realm certainly wouldn't be over in five hours.
"Ti to go. I need to grab the good stuff before the other four major races show up!"
With that thought, Lance stood up!
Buzz!
A mont later, the space around him rippled, and Lance instantly appeared by the hatch!
Clang!
The heavy hatch slowly hissed open.
"Lance is awake!!"
Within that fractured expanse of starry space, Guardian Aether perked up, his gaze snapping toward the distant spacecraft.
The surrounding crowd followed suit, their eyes fixed on the hatch.
A youth hurtled toward them at a terrifying speed, a black spear strapped to his back. His velocity was staggering—it had already surpassed the limits of most Great Grandmasters!
"Look at that speed... how is that possible? Wasn't he just entering the Grandmaster rank?"
"Wait, look at his aura. He's at Grandmaster (Rank 8)! How the hell is that possible!?"
Soone sucked in a sharp breath. "Grandmaster (Rank 8)? At fifteen years old!? You’ve got to be shtting !"
Lance’s incredible speed caused the expressions of every powerhouse present to shift instantly. However, as they sensed his cultivation level, their faces turned bone-white.
They weren't just surprised; they were terrified.
"A fifteen-year-old Grandmaster (Rank 8)... he’s an SSS-rank genius. A definitive SSS-rank! Humanity is truly blessed!"
"It’s true. He really is an SSS-rank genius... but how?"
"Hahaha! Brilliant! This is fantastic! Even if we don't get anything from this secret realm, our race is destined to rise!"
The most ecstatic among them were Guardian Aether and the other mbers of The High Guardians. They broke into fits of wild, joyous laughter.
Watching the High Guardians react with such fervor only confird the truth for the other powerhouses in the distance: Lance had indeed reached Grandmaster (Rank 8). For a fifteen-year-old, such a realm was nothing short of monstrous.
Yet, amidst the celebration, several moles hidden within the human ranks were already covertly transmitting this intelligence to the outside world.
"You’re finally out of seclusion!!" Guardian Aether exclaid, rushing forward to greet him.
"Yeah," Lance said with a faint smile. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
"Not a problem at all! We’d wait a thousand years if we had to, no complaints!"
"Hahaha, exactly!"
The surrounding High Guardians laughed with genuine excitent.
Soon, Guardian Aether’s expression turned solemn as he began to brief Lance on the current situation.
"Given your current potential and the fact that other races might arrive at any mont, we’ve decided... you shouldn't go in," Guardian Aether finally admitted.
With SSS-rank talent, Lance was guaranteed to reach the Galactic Realm eventually, and likely even the Star Sea Realm, even without this inheritance. If sothing happened to him now, while he was still growing, they would never be able to forgive themselves.
"I appreciate the concern," Lance replied calmly. "But if I’m afraid of a little risk like this, how can I ever beco a true powerhouse? Don’t worry. I’m not that easy to kill."
The High Guardians fell silent at his words.
"Fine. Just be careful!!" Guardian Aether finally said, his eyes still clouded with worry. The others also looked on with heavy expressions.
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
Lance gave a slight nod. With a sudden burst of power from under his feet, he tore through the void, streaking toward the spatial rift.
Buzz!!
After a brief ripple in the surrounding space, Lance vanished into the secret realm.
Following another wave of spatial distortion, he found himself standing in a different expanse of starry sky. Below him lay a continent so vast that its edges were nowhere to be seen. Lance estimated its diater to be at least several hundred billion kiloters—perhaps even more.
What did several hundred billion kiloters an?
For perspective, Mother Planet’s diater was only about twelve thousand kiloters. A diater of several hundred thousand kiloters would be a hundred tis that of Mother Planet. Tens of millions would be ten thousand tis. A diater of several hundred billion kiloters was ten thousand tis larger than that of tens of millions. Its surface area would be a trillion tis larger, and its volu... staggering.
If it truly spanned hundreds of billions of kiloters, its surface area alone would be a trillion tis that of Mother Planet.
And this wasn't the open universe; this was a secret realm. In such dinsions, every inch of space was worth more than gold. A realm this massive was sothing even a Domain Lord Class expert could likely never afford.
"So it really is a Domain Lord's secret realm. Looks like I’ve hit the jackpot this ti. But why would such a place exist within human territory?"
Lance was puzzled, but he didn't dwell on it. Perhaps this sector had been a hub of power hundreds of billions of years ago.
Shaking off the thought, he dove toward the location where the human experts had gathered.
[System Alert]: Talent criteria t. Entry permitted.
As Lance passed through the atmospheric film of the continent, a chanical voice echoed from the sky.
"Wait, soone else arrived!?"
"Is that a kid? And is he wearing the Martial Paragon set that only the High Guardians are supposed to have?"
"Hold on... is that the legendary SSS-rank genius, Lance!?"
"Damn, I’m finally seeing him in the flesh!"
Lance’s arrival was imdiately noticed by the geniuses below. They stared at him with wonder and a hint of excitent.
"Lance!!!" Raya Kincaid called out, flying over to greet him.
"Looks like you guys have been waiting a while," Lance said with a smile.
"Yeah, about forty minutes already. What took you so long?" Raya Kincaid asked curiously.
"I reached a breakthrough point in my cultivation, so I waited until I finished. Sorry for the delay," Lance explained casually. His gaze then drifted toward a corner, landing on an inconspicuous figure: Selina.
Wait. That Soul fluctuation is wrong. That’s not Selina.
Lance’s sharp senses imdiately detected an anomaly. He instantly activated the Eternal Soul Protocol.
In a heartbeat, he realized that the "Selina" standing there, who had barely reacted to his arrival, was a fake.
"I see. She must have already t the requirents and gone to claim the inheritance. Sovereign Glacia must be helping her cheat again. That bitch is really starting to get annoying."
Seeing this, Lance knew Selina had a head start.
