The power exploded, setting off a boundless torrent.

Even after being blocked by the Sea of Blood and the Bright Pearl, Jiang Ming was barely able to withstand this sword. The residual power from the explosion sent Ye Bai and the others flying.

The Sea of Blood churned, and a ravine appeared above them.

Jiang Ming raised his head to see Lei San sheathing his sword, readying for another onslaught on the Blood Woman. Still, his expression wasn’t too pleasant.

The ravine closed, obstructing the senses.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. However, the corrosive power of the Blood Lake was terrifying. He quickly activated the Heavenly Stars Protection Skill, transforming his Qi into the attribute energy of light and creating a shield that encompassed Ye Bai and the others.

The corrosive, annihilating, and venomous powers quickly depleted his Qi.

He finally understood why it was so hard for Holy Heart and the others to resist.

With his amount of Qi and strength, he could only last three days at most.

He once again stimulated the Martial Arts Domain to merge into his protective method, this time with the Power of Death on the outside. As expected, the corrosion was significantly reduced.

“Terrifying!” Liu Ruyan was shocked,” If I were on the surface, I would have been easily affected and killed.”

“The Tenth Realm is so powerful!” Ye Bai was also shocked, “Before, I could easily cross two realms to fight, but now I can’t even resist directly.”

He felt a sense of defeat.

“The higher the Realm, the greater the gap. A difference in one realm is like the difference between heaven and the abyss,” Jiang Ming commented before turning his gaze to Holy Heart.

After sensing the surrounding, Holy Heart continued her previous topic, “Once your cultivation exceeds the Ninth Realm and you enter the Lost Land, you will face suppression. But there’s a condition- if you’ve always been in the Lost Land and never left, you won’t be suppressed. For instance, if the Lost Land is your home, how can it suppress your cultivation! Once you leave the Lost Land and return, exceeding the Ninth Realm will lead to suppression, unless you have peculiar treasures like the World Stone.”

“There’s such a theory?” Wang Qiutong was surprised.

“Shouldn’t be. If this were the case, it should have been mentioned in the books. Why didn’t they tell us?” Ye Bai was also puzzled, “You said it was a trick by our human upper levels, but why would they do this? It doesn’t make sense.” “I have heard something about this from the clan elders, and I can guess one or two things.” Holy Heart replied with a faint smile, “There are many humans who can reach the Eight Realms. Immensely many. But it’s relatively harder to break into the higher Realms. And under the same level, it’s difficult for humans to defeat the powerful of some special races.”

“The Eight Realm is a unique Realm.”

“The greater accumulation at this realm, the greater the potential. It not only increases the combat power but also makes it possible to go further in the future.”

“Informing you that the Lost Land can suppress the Ninth Realm Cultivation should be to make you break through more slowly, to spend more time in this realm, and to build up thicker accumulation.”

“After all, even if you encounter the Ninth Realm Powerful, their cultivation will be suppressed. By comparison, the Eight Realms are almost invincible, without too much pressure, naturally, you’d want to accumulate more.”

“It should be a public secret, after all, once you get to Sky Martial City, you will naturally know. The concealment is just for you, it should be a consensus reached by humans over the Ninth Realm.”

Holy Heart simply said.

It also explained why Chen Bei’s cultivation wasn’t being suppressed.

The reason why people like the Blood Woman and Lei San could exert all their strength.

“I see!” Ye Bai pondered. He glanced at the surrounding Sea of Blood and shook his head, “No, there are so many beings over the Ninth Realm in the Lost Land. If they don’t inform and act high-profile, won’t they be courting death?”

Jiang Ming was also puzzled.

Because they had encountered too many powerful beings above the Ninth Realm.

As for the World Stone?

Jiang Ming hadn’t seen any. Wang Qiutong, however, was familiar with them.

“In the Lost Land, there are plenty in the Eight Realms, but those who exceed the Ninth Realm are extremely rare. As for the forces that exceed the Ninth Realm? They’re extremely rare.” Holy Heart smiled, “As for Black Mountain, Blood Lake, Pegasus, and Thunder Clan that you happened to encounter, you can just say you unexpectedly hit the jackpot. Some people who have been in the Lost Land for hundreds of years might not encounter them even once, yet you continuously ran into them.”

Jiang Ming and the others were speechless.

This wasn’t luck but more like a curse.

“Additionally, once your cultivation exceeds the Ninth Realm in the Lost Land, it becomes extremely difficult to further advance,” said Holy Heart, “Despite the many opportunities in the Lost Land, its vastness reduces the chance of gaining benefits. Furthermore, with the daily midnight shifts, it’s hard to establish a fixed territory. Generally, after reaching the Eighth Realm, they would leave the Lost Land to venture outside. There they will find more chances to improve faster. Of course, it’s also more dangerous.”

To her, these weren’t really secrets.

“If it’s as you say, wouldn’t entities like Thunder Mountain, Blood Lake, be able to dominate if they stay in the Lost Land forever?” asked Jiang Ming with a frown.

“Not so!” Holy Heart said in a deep voice, “In the Lost Land, aside from the cities guarded by the World Gate, any other forces could be destroyed by the God of Lost.”

“The God of Lost?” Jiang Ming was puzzled.

“Hmm!” Holy Heart nodded, “According to various signs, the Lost Land is similar to the Initial Land, meant to allow weaker beings to survive. But entities like Thunder Mountain and Pegasus continue to live here, growing non-stop, their cultivation skyrocketing, exceeding the Ninth Realm, often breaking the balance. The emergence of the God of Lost is to hunt down these entities. They are powerful, terrifying, invincible, cold, cruel, and bloody. Once they appear, it signifies death, whether it’s in the Ninth or Tenth Realm, none can escape their clutches. Because they maintain the balance of the Lost Land, they are called the God of Lost. Perhaps because the Lost Land is vast, they don’t appear frequently, not necessarily even once in hundreds or thousands of years.”
