Apocalypse: Infinite Evolution Starts from Attribute Allocation-Chapter 943: But Have You Thought About What Price You Should Pay?
He returned with a full load!
Wang Ye secured a massive private order and joyfully returned to the third realm.
Meanwhile, Supreme Yi Xiu was currently preoccupied and unable to split his focus.
The Strength race was right under his nose.
Finding them was a testament to his skill.
If he couldn't find them, it was simply beyond his abilities.
It had nothing to do with him.
"Thankfully, I made preparations in advance." Wang Ye reflected.
Dealing with these cunning Strength race schemers required caution.
Regardless, this venture yielded a bountiful harvest.
Setting aside the grand transaction ten thousand years hence, the hush money in hand was substantial.
He obtained an ancient gem treasure of high-grade material, a set of esoteric manuals for cultivating willpower, and a ten-thousand-year-old Vermillion Congealed Fruit.
"After returning to the encampment, I should be able to level up." Wang Ye mused in the third realm.
It wasn't about scavenging or causing trouble for the Dark race.
His star reserve was almost depleted, and he lacked interest in earning evolution points.
Otherwise, he'd have grown wings and wreaked havoc in the second realm.
"Sajee..." Wang Ye grimaced at the mission astrolabe coordinates.
As unpredictable as ever, Sajee's battle with other Sky race factions near the only passage was perilous enough.
Yet, he dove straight into the enemy race, entering the Dark race's territory in the third realm.
He truly didn't fear death.
However...
"This guy's sky merit is truly impressive." Wang Ye noted, eyeing the commanders' rankings.
Once on par with Ere, Sajee now stood far ahead.
From his sky merit, it seemed he had vanquished the Dark race's Venerate.
And not just one!
"They're all vying for the position of legion commander." Wang Ye knew well.
His promotion to chief commander left the sixth legion's commander post vacant.
As commander of Battle Team No. 2, Sajee was reluctant to yield to Lan Scarlet.
"This could get tricky," Wang Ye pondered.
By contributions and closeness, the legion commander post rightfully belonged to Lan Scarlet.
However, Lan Scarlet's Sky merit currently paled against Sajee's.
Considering the distribution of sky merit in this high-dimensional battlefield mission, the legion commander's position should go to Sajee.
Moreover, this guy...
"I've ascended to Sovereign Venerate," Wang Ye announced.
The weary members of Battle Team No. 2 lit up with surprise and joy!
"Legion Commander!"
"Hail, Legion Commander!"
"Why are you here?" Sajee beamed.
Injured and drained, his release of Venerable aura showed remarkable progress.
"I came looking for you." Wang Ye employed the Life Great Path at its peak, healing each member.
The green light teemed with life force, not just mending wounds but revitalizing energy.
The team members brimmed with newfound vigor and delight.
"Well done, legion commander." Sajee praised.
"You're not too bad yourself," Wang Ye replied. "When did you achieve this breakthrough?"
"During the battle with the elites of the dark abyss," Sajee recounted. "They ambushed us."
Would they have welcomed you if they hadn't ambushed you?
"We've secured first place," Wang Ye declared. "It's time to return."
Sajee chuckled. "Legion Commander, you truly have the knack. The five of us risked all, yet we're mid-tier at best. You've reached the summit."
"Mid-tier was already impressive..." Wang Ye thought.
Excluding his sky merit, he might even rank third.
Honestly, he was quite impressive.
"How do we get back now?" Sajee scanned his surroundings. "This is Dark race territory, with elites of the dark abyss all around. Going back will be quite troublesome."
"Didn't you think about that when you came in?" Wang Ye glanced at him.
Sajee shrugged. "Why worry so much? Let's do what needs to be done first. There's always a way out."
There was always a solution when faced with problems.
Wang Ye was beginning to admire him.
Allowing this guy to become a legion commander always felt quite risky...
"Follow me. I've found a secret realm that can lead us out of here," Wang Ye said.
"Well, isn't that a solution?" Sajee laughed heartily.
Wang Ye was speechless.
...
Back at the Sky race's encampment!
Wang Ye checked on the sixth legion.
The casualties were minimal.
Only a few team members had fallen.
It was mainly because Ere and Sajee had been too reckless...
But it was within acceptable limits.
Moreover, after enduring the trials of the high-dimensional battlefield, the sixth legion's members seemed transformed.
They were much more seasoned than before, no longer mere rookies.
"I declare the mission a complete success!" Wang Ye announced to the sixth legion's members.
Not long ago, the only passage had shifted positions, leading into the first realm.
The Dark race had started withdrawing, marking the end of the high-dimensional battlefield mission.
Though several Sky King Corps were still in pursuit, the outcome was clear.
Sky merit and rankings wouldn't see much change.
"First place!"
"From the bottom to the top, what a thrill!"
"Our sixth legion is amazing!"
"Let those five great legions, with their lofty ambitions, see who's the strongest!"
"Of course, it's our legion commander!"
"No, it's the chief commander!"
The members cheered enthusiastically.
The Sky race's encampment was bustling with activity.
The other legions of the Sille Little King Corps couldn't help but envy them.
The sixth legion's performance was exceptional.
Not only had they clinched first place, but the distribution of sky merits...
They were rolling in it.
If only they had such a capable legion commander.
The heavenly warriors looked at Wang Ye with admiration.
Legion Commander Ye Wang wasn't just the highest in sky merit among the six legion commanders, he was also the highest in the entire Tianjia King Corps!
He single-handedly lifted the sixth legion!
...
The Divine Realm, within the sixth legion's domain.
Wang Ye led his team back.
Last to depart, first to return.
He was a model worker of the modern age.
For now, he couldn't leave. Once Sharuth returned, all the legion commanders would gather to commend, distribute sky merits, and... confirm the position of the chief commander!
That was just a formality.
Once everything was settled, he'd return to the Ancestral Star, spend time with his girlfriends, figure out how to get some local specialties, and then prepare to go home.
His true home.
Things were bustling over at Primordial Star.
---
In the cultivation chamber, Wang Ye retrieved the treasures obtained from the Strength race.
The ten-thousand-year-old Vermillion Congealed Fruit!
The crystal-clear fruit brimmed with unique energy.
They were quite similar to the million-year Senlo Fruit he had consumed before.
They shared a common name... Chaos Fruit.
The fruit was nurtured by chaos energy.
In the high-dimensional cosmic, they existed only within the Primal Chaos Stars, exceedingly rare.
But in the vast expanse of the Primitive Cosmic Sea, they were quite plentiful.
Whoosh...
Wang Ye swallowed it directly.
Instantly, his body surged with full energy!
The essence of heaven and earth energy pervaded his entire being!
Thread by thread, it seeped in, swiftly absorbed by his Eternal body!
85%, 90%, 95%...
Wang Ye watched as the numbers on the interface continued to climb.
The saturation of his Eternal Body rapidly increased, the remaining void within him instantly filled with the brimming energy!
100%!
Boom!
He broke through directly!
No bottlenecks at all!
Wang Ye's formidable willpower controlled the top-rank internal world, swiftly transforming!
Vast, boundless energy unleashed, Wang Ye effortlessly commanded the pinnacle of the Life Great Path within his top-rank internal world!
His astonishing mastery of the Great Path was as effortless as breathing!
Expanding the top-rank internal world held no challenges.
In an instant, from a trillion-fold to a quadrillion-fold, expanding like the area of a low-dimensional cosmic to its ultimate limit...
One trillion-fold!
The pinnacle of perfected innate attainment!
Throughout history, attaining a trillion-fold in cultivation was exceedingly rare!
Each one was a pride of the heavens!
At the very least, they were all Supreme!
After breaking through to become a High-Dimension Lord, his body transformed into a small cosmic.
The rank and size of the top internal world, the larger, the better. The more perfect, the better!
This was the upper limit of advanced cultivation!
"Not bad." Wang Ye sensed that his empty top-rank internal world needed an enormous infusion of energy.
A trillion-fold increase in size was undeniably powerful, but it also consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
A grand endeavor!
However...
In the end, things would mend.
Wang Ye wasn't concerned.
Most importantly, he had successfully ascended to the Superior Eternal level!
Life level upgraded, Eternal Body transformed!
Refreshed!
The capacity of the Eternal Body, originally 100 times that of innate energy, doubled to 200 times!
The vast majority of Eternal Lifeform couldn't achieve such a multiplier even at their peak!
He had only reached the Seventh-degree Eternal, yet he had already achieved this!
And there would be more expansion to come!
The foundational enhancement, paired with the highest grade of high-dimensional life origin!
The Primordial Great Path, the great path of the primordial soul, the path of nine calamities...
The might of the Eternal body was comparable to that of a top-tier supreme saint body!
"The effect is excellent." Wang Ye absorbed the remaining one-thousand-year-old Vermillion Congealed Fruit.
At the seventh-degree Eternal, 11.1%!
The Strength race hadn't deceived him. Indeed, the effect was slightly better than the million-year Senlo Fruit.
"I wonder how effective this Nether Ganoderma is?" Wang Ye mused while eating, contemplating another dish.
After cultivating for so long, Sharuth should be back by now, right?
Wang Ye stood and exited the cultivation chamber.
Hmm?
As soon as he emerged, he spotted a familiar figure.
The dutiful vice legion commander Shakima, and... the first legion commander, Lu Nai.
Nowadays, she was no longer as spirited and confident as when they first met, but what remained unchanged was her stunning beauty and flawless figure.
Yet now, there was a hint of vulnerability and uncertainty that hadn't been there before.
"Brother Ye, I have been waiting for you for a long time," Shakima said.
"Sorry for the interruption." Lu Nai's smile seemed somewhat forced.
"No worries. Come in, let's talk." Wang Ye smiled and ushered Lu Nai into the cultivation chamber.
Shakima understood his glance and nodded.
Bang!
The cultivation chamber's door closed, sealing them off from the outside world.
"Please, have a seat. What brings you here?" Wang Ye seated himself on the floor.
"It's nothing," Lu Nai said softly. "I just got back and wanted to congratulate you."
"Is that all?" Wang Ye smiled at the once brilliant commander of the genius battle team. "Now that it's just us two if you have something on your mind, speak freely."
"I..." Lu Nai hesitated. "You performed exceptionally well. I concede defeat wholeheartedly."
"You've waited this long just to tell me that?" Wang Ye chuckled. "But have you thought about the price you're willing to pay?"
Lu Nai bit her lip, a blush spreading across her face. She seemed torn between speaking her mind and holding back.
Wang Ye gazed at her deeply, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Some things you don't say aloud. How do you know if they're impossible?"
Lu Nai's breathing quickened slightly, her chest rising and falling. She looked up at Wang Ye. "I want to become the Chief Commander! Can you make that happen? I know it's probably not possible, but..."
"But have you thought about what it might cost?" Wang Ye's gaze remained steady.
Lu Nai was momentarily stunned.
