Chapter 680: Chapter 409: Flamefire vs. Mysterious Forces, Which is Stronger? (6K for Monthly Votes)

In the Secret Realm, the trial land, every gaze involuntarily converged on the petite figure of the wine-red haired girl, be it from the young participants or the ancient veterans aged hundreds or even thousands of years.

She... is under thirty?

No way, how is that possible!

"Although Miss Yiluo Xi appears quite young and possesses the pure innocence of youth, is she really... is she really a dignified mythical figure?"

Someone whispered softly.

Those familiar with Yiluo Xi, the mythical figure, found it hard to believe that she was only in her twenties. And for those who didn’t recognize her, at first glance they would certainly believe this girl was young... very young; they would believe she was under twenty, even under eighteen because she indeed looked tender and youthful, and the innocence she revealed was... comparable to their ten-year-old granddaughters.

Describing Yiluo Xi as young, they would believe! But saying Yiluo Xi was a mythical figure... could it be that the trial officer had made a mistake?

The trial officer deemed such low-level questions beneath the need to respond.

However, a few mythical figures spoke up, their expressions complex.

"Miss Yiluo Xi is indeed a mythical figure and possesses not insignificant combat power," they stated.

They had been with the Ancient Moon Dynasty during an extermination operation and had witnessed Yiluo Xi’s power firsthand. She was not only a mythical figure but far from a mere neophyte at that!

But they too found it impossible to conceive that such a prodigy could exist in this world. To what extent did her talent and flair reach?

As a young Demigod, Chen Tianxuan felt he could drop the ’young’ prefix from his title.

He had advanced to demigod status before the age of forty and was hailed as a super-prodigy, a Star of the Demigods. He had thought that although Yiluo Xi looked young, she must be around his age. To his surprise, she wasn’t even thirty yet. Moreover, judging by the combat strength Miss Yiluo Xi had demonstrated, she must have been a demigod for a few years at least, meaning she might have entered the Realm of Myth around the ages of 24 or 25.

Not just the older mythical figures, but even Chen Tianxuan felt unworthy of the name prodigy.

"However, becoming a demigod is just the real starting point on the mysterious path, and I, Chen Tianxuan, refuse to lose to anyone!"

His gaze toward Yiluo Xi was filled with fighting spirit.

...

The focus of all eyes, the supremely young mythical figure Empress Yiluo Xi, was not in a good mood at the moment.

She kicked at the inspection and transport platform beneath her feet, her face full of gloom.

Seeing the shock on the faces of powerful beings about her prodigious abilities, she proudly puffed out her chest, but she wasn’t satisfied.

She was a super-prodigy and needed no validation from the ordinary; what she desired was to sweep through the thirteen challenges of the trial, forging an unprecedented reputation as Empress Yiluo Xi, not to simply stand on a stage as a figurehead.

But what kind of lousy trial land was this!

Looking at the white light barrier not far away, which segregated the trial area, Yiluo Xi was tempted to blast a hole and make her way in, yet she felt instinctively that she couldn’t break through. Of course, her real reason for not trying was not due to any intuition but the fear of being thrown out, losing the chance to continue her impressive performance.

Considering this, she glared angrily at the trial officer once again. She wanted to leave a poor review, a very poor review!

...

The trial officer was indeed very troubled.

She truly believed that Yiluo Xi was a top-tier prodigy, capable of entering the domain of myth at such an age, which said it all. After all, breaking through to demigod status certainly indicated one’s willpower, depth of accumulation, vigorous foundation, and profound skills.

A demigod could not simply be built up reliant on resources alone.

Even back in the days of the Candela Empire, which had pathways leading directly to demigod status and venues for high-end Awakening Ceremonies, the path was not easy to tread. Those with talent and those without could exert the same effort, yet the benefits might differ tenfold, the real discrepancy being in potential; those lacking in talent might strive as much as they could but would still struggle to improve, and thereby face greater dangers and the likelihood of failure in the process of Awakening.

Even if the Water of Origin elevated a mediocrity to a ’genius’ status, that mediocrity remained no more capable than before. Mud can’t be turned into gold.

And now, in this less luminous era, she had witnessed a prodigy who would have been considered top-tier even during the Candela Empire’s time. For such a prodigy, if the Empire still existed, it would surely invest more resources in her development. The diverse awards and mechanisms for clearing the trials in the Secret Realm were one of the Empire’s means of granting privileges to the prodigies.

Like Miss Yiluo Xi before them, if they could clear the trials, they might pass the ninth or tenth challenges, acquiring some rare treasures... even if she found no use for those treasures, she could sell them, exchanging them for demigod cultivation resources.

However,

"I too would love to see how far you can go in the trials, but the rules do not permit it, and I do not have the authority to change the fundamental rules of the Secret Realm," she explained.

"But given your age, undergoing demigod-level trials could earn you the highest category of rewards."

...

Sure enough, she still wanted to leave a poor review for this trial land!

Yiluo Xi muttered to herself but still stepped down from the elevated platform and returned to the campground of the Blazefire Commerce Guild.

Yes, the various forces had begun to establish camps. The trial period would last three months, and since the peaks with buildings were inaccessible, the forces had no choice but to build their individual camps.

The mythical figures were not in a hurry to take action.

However, they urged the geniuses from each force to hurry up, to stop dallying about.

With ’peerless prodigy’ Yiluo Xi setting a precedent, the various geniuses were somewhat disheartened, but most of them had the right mentality and, with a bit of adjustment, gradually regained their composure amidst their turbulent emotions.
