Chapter 1060 The Power Unleashed in the Core

"The land is moving, it’s like... welcoming us!"

"I heard that only a Holy Blooder with a bloodline rating of S-Class can trigger such a vision when entering the core palace!"

"So the boss’s bloodline is actually S-Class??? Even the top investigation teams have less than ten S-Classes combined, we’re in for a windfall, hahaha!"

Exclamations of amazement rose from the group behind them. Red Swan showed no expression; with Blue Boy present, it would be strange if the vision had not been triggered.

After a quarter of an hour, the land stopped moving. Red Swan glanced around at the sealed metal walls above and below, with the wall behind them sealing off the way they came, indicating they were on the outermost layer of the palace. In front and to the sides, there were entrances leading to the next land block.

Red Swan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as planned.

What her team didn’t know was that since entering this relic, Red Swan had occasionally seen fleeting images, as if some ancient memories were awakening in her mind.

As far as she knew, even those with S-Class did not possess such an ability; only he and Blue Boy could sense it, and Blue Boy saw more and clearer images than she did.

"These memories flashing within the palace... indeed he is the reincarnation of Bright Venerable."

A surge of excitement rose in Red Swan’s heart. Given this, there was no need to doubt anymore. No matter how rushed she felt the plan was, as long as it was Bright Venerable’s decision, it could not be wrong!

With her mind made up, Red Swan cleared her throat and said, "Since there are three entrances ahead, we will divide into three teams. I will lead one team, Uncle Sun will lead one team, and Thunder Dragon will lead one team."

"As per the usual, you are free to choose whom to follow, but those following me must contribute an extra half of their earnings. After the exploration ends, I will redistribute a portion."

The first step of the plan: Divide and surveil.

That Thunder Dragon was the most respected among the Molten Steel People in the group; he could take most of the molten steel members, leaving behind only those ’eyes’ sent by the major figures, most of which would focus on Red Swan.

And the real protagonist of this action was Blue Boy, hidden within Sun Shisan’s team!

In the past two years, Red Swan never refused any of Blue Boy’s requests but insisted on one thing: keeping Blue Boy’s identity hidden.

He was not allowed to reveal his strength in front of outsiders, not allowed to show his special ability, and even his appearance was fixed to that of a young boy of around ten before recruiting new members.

This was particularly confining for Blue Boy, who was at an age where he loved to show off and flaunt. Many in the group deliberately tried to please and get close to him, but with Red Swan’s unprecedented stern demand, he ultimately kept his promise.

Thus, although Blue Boy initially attracted much attention and investigation, by today, his identity was naturally assumed to be that of Red Swan’s younger brother.

Good talent, but not as good as Red Swan’s, so there’s no need to pay particular attention—this was the impression Blue Boy left on others.

Of course, a select few knew Blue Boy was Chu Xiu’s "Mutant Beast"; they were directly under Karsen’s command. So even though Blue Boy hid well, after the teams formed, a watchful gaze still lingered upon him.

Blue Boy looked on disdainfully. A King Tier should, in theory, be enough awareness. After all, two years ago, even a random Fierce Tier could easily thrash him, but...

"I am the reincarnation of a God, after all."

Blue Boy smiled faintly. Over the past two years, he had come to accept his identity. His incredibly fast cultivation speed, the flashbacks within the palace, and the superpower that emerged within it—all this cemented his belief in his identity and gave him unprecedented confidence.

With a move, he nimbly leaped into the next land block. Sun Shisan’s team set into motion. According to the original plan, he let the main force train within the block, while only a few scouts went forward to investigate the new one.

Blue Boy and the person monitoring him were among the few. Upon entry, Blue Boy showed no intention of hiding, dashing toward the next land block!

"Boom!"

The power that had been restrained for so long erupted at this moment, his speed suddenly surging to King Tier! According to the plan, he was supposed to find a chance to shake off his pursuer without arousing suspicion, but he had been holding back for too long and didn’t want to endure any longer!

Under the astonished eyes of other scouts, the two King Tiers swiftly flew into the next block, quickly leaving the others behind.

It was then that Blue Boy stopped. He glanced back at the person monitoring him, who was full of shock, and pointed a finger lightly.

"Crush him."

In the next moment, the entire block’s air seemed to act with awareness, rapidly converging toward the King Tier! The man’s face changed dramatically! He wanted to escape but it was too late; within less than a fraction of a second, the air in the entire block compressed to within three meters around him! His facial features began to distort, and he made a hissing struggle, but against this overwhelming force, it was all in vain. With a "boom," the man was completely crushed into a blood mist.

"Just as I thought, my authority greatly increased after entering the core area."

"And the extent of this power boost is even stronger than I imagined!"

Blue Boy’s face was full of delight.
