Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone’s expressions were very complicated.

Lu Benwei’s current strength was unfathomable. As for the exact level, it was difficult for everyone to guess.

Xiong Hu watched as Lu Benwei battled the kings of the Huqin Dynasty and said, “This kid might have already reached the level of an ultimate king!”

Ultimate king!

It was an unattainable existence. It was said that to reach this level, one had to sacrifice everything and start from scratch. If one was not careful, one’s body and soul would be destroyed.

As for Lu Benwei, in just half a year, he had encountered some great fortuitous events. He had risen from level 69 to this level.

The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan and the Great Peacock King were filled with emotions. Half a year ago, they were still Lu Benwei’s seniors, but now, the two of them were somewhat unapproachable to him.

Lu Benwei looked at the crowd with complicated expressions and revealed a row of white teeth. “Why are you all looking at me like that? Don’t you welcome me back?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

“You brat!”

Xiong Hu immediately took a step forward and punched Lu Benwei’s chest.

“What does the Red Phoenix divine medicine taste like?”

Lu Benwei scratched his head and said, “To be honest, I can’t remember clearly.”

“Do you still remember that after we left the secret realm, Phoenix Blood Mountain disappeared? Where have you been?” Liu Qinghe asked curiously.

“The universe above the nine heavens.”

Everyone was shocked. To them, the universe was still an unfamiliar word.

Only a few of the former who were at the peak soared straight into the universe and recorded the appearance of the universe. The book said that the universe was a boundless land.

It was tens of thousands of times larger than the Southern Desert Continent. The starry sky was vast and boundless, with stars decorating it. Those seniors said that the stars were as numerous as the sand in the Southern Desert Continent, but most of them were dead stars. What awaited them was endless coldness.

Ji Han blinked her black gem-like eyes. “Not long after the collapse of the Phoenix Blood Mountain, the Southern Desert Continent was shrouded in darkness for a month.”

Lu Benwei nodded and did not hide anything.

When everyone heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air and realized how terrifying Lu Benwei was.

The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan and the Great Peacock King looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

“Little friend Lu,” the Great Peacock King stood up and called out to Lu Benwei before pausing.

“Great Peacock King, please speak.”

The Great Peacock King heaved a sigh of relief. “I found a book in the library at home. I think little friend Lu will be interested.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and took out an ancient book.

Lu Benwei took it and looked at it carefully.

The ancient book had been well maintained. It had been through a long time, but the paper was a little yellow.

Lu Benwei looked at the large words on the cover of the ancient book and was slightly surprised.

“Southern Desert Chronicle.”

Lu Benwei was about to open it to look when he was stopped by the Great Peacock King.

“Little friend Lu, wait a moment. The incidents recorded in this ancient book are too important. I hope that young friend Lu can read it privately.”

Lu Benwei nodded and followed the Great Peacock King’s words.

Xiong Hu whistled. “It wasn’t easy for us to escape death. Let’s go drink!”

The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan was delighted and shouted, “Let’s go, let’s drink.”

Late that night, an inn in Jiao City was brightly lit and noisy.

However, no one dared to disturb them. This was because the inn was filled with big shots.

At Lu Benwei’s table, empty wine jars could be seen.

In the first half of the night, everyone was drinking happily.

Xiong Hu wanted to spar with Lu Benwei, but he fell asleep before midnight.

The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan laughed loudly. “Xiong Hu, you can’t do it. In terms of drinking, you must be from our Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan!”

After saying that, he and Lu Benwei started playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking.

After drinking thirty jars of wine, the old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan also collapsed.

Only the non-alcoholic Great Peacock King and Lu Benwei were left in the inn.

“Little friend Lu?” the Great Peacock King called softly.

Lu Benwei understood and took out the ancient book that the Great Peacock King had given him. The first page shocked Lu Benwei.

“The Southern Desert Continent is a divine land that fell from the heavens?”

“Yes!” the Great Peacock King answered.

“It’s not just this ancient book. There are records and many rumors that prove that the Southern Desert Continent is a divine land that fell from the sky.”

“Little friend Lu, you aren’t from the Southern Desert Continent, right?” the Great Peacock King asked again.

Lu Benwei’s expression sank, but then he relaxed. “That’s right, I came from a country called the Dragon Kingdom, separated from the Southern Desert Continent by a vast ocean.”

The Great Peacock King nodded. “There’s a rumor that there are countries outside the Southern Desert Continent. I didn’t expect it to be true. Then it seems that the contents recorded in this ancient book are 99% true.”

Lu Benwei flipped a page and realized that the records in the ancient book were in reverse.

The next page recorded the time when the divine land descended before the Southern Desert Continent began to have records. That was about three thousand years ago.

In terms of time, it was in the same spacetime as the Apocalypse Empire. Lu Benwei was surprised. What happened three thousand years ago?

Flipping to the third page, after the divine land descended, it turned into the Southern Desert Continent. Due to its unique characteristics, it welcomed great competition among all countries.

The more Lu Benwei read what happened next, the more shocked he became. Something told him that 3,000 years ago, a disaster that affected the entire world had descended. All countries were searching for a solution.

The Southern Desert Continent had a magical characteristic that allowed them to avoid disasters and became the target of conflict.

The battle between the Red Phoenix and a certain supreme martial artist happened here. The combat strength of humans 3,000 years ago was even more heaven-defying than now!

This was Lu Benwei’s conclusion.

Then, the ancient book recorded a phenomenon that was even grander than the descent of the divine land in the Southern Desert Continent – the arrival of the Bronze Temple.

According to the ancient book, the Bronze Temple descended upon the world, and a massive rift appeared in the sky. When it appeared, any stigma would start to tremble.

At that time, all the stigmata in the world were attracted by the Bronze Temple. They turned into human forms and knelt to submit. It took eighty-one days and nights before they dissipated.

“Oh my god!”

Lu Benwei was so shocked that he could not speak.

“The background of the Bronze Temple is so great?”

Lu Benwei continued reading.

Some five-mark and six-mark stigmata were unwilling to leave and wanted to enter the inner parts of the Bronze Temple. However, they were rejected.

“The six-mark stigma can’t enter the inner parts of the Bronze Temple? Then what about those stigmata from before?”

Lu Benwei’s head was filled with questions.
