Chapter 828: Chapter 429: Why is it Azure Dragon again? Trial of the Achiever

Watching the intense gaze of this guy, the Observer explained: "To obtain the Blood of the World, it requires extraction from the Dimension World of the Transcendent Level through special methods."

"From the Dimension World?" Li Ming noticed the distinction and then asked: "Not from the main life forms of the Dimension Realm?"

The Observer further explained: "No, to be precise, the main life forms of the Dimension Realm are just one form of manifestation of the Blood of the World."

Li Ming frowned; the Dimension World at the Transcendent Level only exists in the deep layers, and it still requires extraction from the Dimension World itself, which is not an ordinary level of difficulty.

The Observer added: "Or through the Transcendent Level trial, each successful attempt grants you an additional reward, which is the Blood of the World."

"An additional reward?" Li Ming was surprised, but after a moment’s thought, he realized that the Blood of the World was a valuable item for the Titans.

At this level, the difficulty of the trials increases exponentially, so getting more good items is quite normal.

But thinking about the astonishing difficulty made Li Ming shiver involuntarily, as if he faintly felt the sensation of being pulverized into a bloody pulp.

Fortunately, these guys couldn’t bear weapons.

Yet, in the Transcendent Level trial, there should only be four stages; beating them all would only amount to four pieces of Blood of the World, counting the one in hand, at most five pieces.

Far from enough.

After pondering for a while, Li Ming asked again: "Do you know how to extract the Blood of the World from the Dimension World?"

"I am just an Observer; such technical data is not under my custody." He shook his head.

Li Ming looked at the Observer, hesitating to speak, but ultimately said nothing, merely shaking his head with a trace of disappointment.

The Observer’s processor was running rapidly, causing some redness on the forehead area, and he disappeared expressionlessly.

Opening his eyes, Li Ming returned to the reality universe, his gaze flickering, and couldn’t help sighing as the difficulty of obtaining the Special Energy increased yet another level.

The Terrax Stone was still severely in short supply; currently in his Control Bar, there was an [Earth-shattering Giant Fist] as his A-level Controlled Object.

"Compared to the Blood of the World, the difficulty of obtaining the Terrax Stone is relatively low." Li Ming pondered, knowing many forces had stockpiles.

Logged into the Azure Dragon’s account, opened up that series of communication friends, pondering about something.

...

In the Empire Capital, the dusty Costate passed through the luxurious, long corridors, and met Adam.

"I relaxed my vigilance, thinking after detection, that thing would be fine."

In the room, Costate’s face was full of shame, behind him was an enormous portrait of the First Holy Emperor, majestic and holding a golden sword, overlooking the earth.

"You can’t be blamed for this." Adam in front turned around, shaking his head, "You are of Prince Level specifications, the detection process exceeded twelve stages, from [molecular level material detection] to [information state measurement], all complete."

"Not even the Divine Craftsman can hide anything, but the Azure Dragon’s methods are different, I don’t believe that attacker didn’t seal the surrounding space, his so-called replacement, I don’t know what kind of method it is."

Costate’s face was tense; it was precisely this habitual thinking that things detected should be free of issues, which led to this incident.

Seeing he was silent, Adam again comforted: "The matter has passed, don’t pay too much attention; besides, without him, you probably wouldn’t have come back this time."

This was Costate’s conflicting point, after all, he was saved by the Azure Dragon. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "Holy Emperor, what’s the situation with that Alchemy Baron; is what the Azure Dragon said true?"

"There’s some clues." Adam nodded, casually creating a virtual screen, where a series of data refreshed: "Based on preliminary interrogation and data aggregation, it can be confirmed that someone indeed appeared around Ryan, the timing should be about six months ago."

"Another ambitious character popping out of nowhere." Costate looked at the data on the screen, eyebrows furrowed, "That guy is quite powerful, suspected of possessing the means to temporarily create X-level Life Forms, likely similar to the method used for reinforcing Ryan."

Adam calmly said: "He can’t hide for long; we’ve already gathered quite a few clues, and have identified several civilizations within the Sea of Stars, the few biological companies he holds proxy in interstellar space, annually dealing with massive amounts of wealth and purchasing all kinds of materials."

"Also, suspected of instigating several small-scale interstellar wars."

"That quickly?" Costate looked surprised.

"Ha..." Adam laughed, "No one could possibly appear out of thin air, the things we wish to investigate, how many can go unchecked..."

Halfway through speaking, Adam paused, and Costate also looked over.

Their eyes met, then tacitly averted.

They both thought of a name, Azure Dragon.

The Empire had always secretly sent people to investigate, even finding numerous ambitious figures acting in the shadows, but unfortunately, many clues after verification still couldn’t be linked to the Azure Dragon.

Nevertheless, that quick investigation into information about the Alchemy Baron gave Costate some relief; though being schemed against by the Azure Dragon hit him hard.

But discovering information about the Alchemy Baron boosted his confidence, the Empire was still the Empire, only Azure Dragon was a different matter.

Just how could that guy hide so well?

Costate couldn’t help thinking, having pondered this more than once.

Azure Dragon, with a Mechanic of such magnitude, how could he completely sever connections with the interstellar, yet they truly couldn’t trace any signs.

The intelligence department had begun analyzing the "Vanguard Officer sent by an unknown civilization."
