He truly transcended expectations; that small figure, like a divine being, had a gaze that shot out beams of divine light, cutting through the clouds and mist like two streaks of lightning slicing through the sky.
At that moment, the tiny figure exuded an extremely intimidating aura. With his black hair flowing and eyes gleaming like lightning, he resembled an ancient sage.
With an explosive power beyond imagination, he leaped into the sky, surpassing not only Shi Yi's mountain peak but also another grayish-brown mountain.
To everyone, it was a miracle—an extraordinary powerhouse had emerged, breaking Shi Yi’s record in a single day, setting off a storm of awe.
He was high in the air while the ground below was engulfed in smoke and dust, shattering completely, with massive cracks spreading. Many were thrown into the air, and many others screamed in terror.
With a thunderous roar, the entire area sank. It was hard to imagine the force behind the tiny figure’s feet, as even the hardest diamond rock turned into powder.
But that was not the end. The large crack spread for hundreds of meters, and the lake's water surged back through the fissures, causing many to fall into the water.
"Is this still human strength?"
Many people who stood here were soaked through, the lake's waves surged violently and suddenly.
With a stomp of his feet, it was as if the wrath of the heavens had been invoked, causing the lake to go berserk.
"Look, there are many large cracks in the lake too, just like here. Shi Yi must have surged up like this back then, causing the lake water to surge back," someone with sharp eyes discovered the truth.
In the lake, a section had shattered, and as the water rushed in, that area was exposed, revealing the truth from back then.
"So terrifying," people felt genuine awe towards such figures as the tiny one and Shi Yi.
No wonder that child had warned them to retreat earlier; it indeed required such caution. With just a stomp, the mountains collapsed and the power was unstoppable, even displacing the great lake.
"Impressive. And he’s just a child, already this extraordinary. Who can match him in the future?" Even a group of old men couldn’t help but shout.
In the sky, the small figure soared like a golden-winged roc, circling and landing on the higher peak of the Twin Peaks, with the mountain wind blowing through his black hair, his gaze deep, gazing at the horizon.
Everyone was stunned. What could this child be thinking at this moment? His aura seemed to be at odds with his age, and the powerful presence made people feel a bit intimidated.
"He has surpassed it; he has really broken the record."
"The so-called unmatched genius, a divine-like youth, has had his record broken, and it was done in one go."
The place was buzzing with excitement, producing an astonishing result.
Earlier, many people came to watch the commotion, not believing that Shi Yi’s record would be broken. Now, everyone’s mouths were agape in disbelief.
It was too incredible. Such a small child, and already so remarkable. What achievements could he have in the future?
People felt a mix of emotions, with some elderly people who were running out of time feeling mostly joy. Such a prodigious child made them immensely happy, as if they had suddenly regained many years of youth.
Meanwhile, some geniuses, like the young men who had been coldly observing earlier, were disheartened. They had failed to surpass Shi Yi in their time, and now a child so small had achieved what they could not. They found it hard to accept.
Runes flashed, and a five-colored phoenix soared into the sky, surrounded by colorful clouds, heading towards the higher peak of the Twin Peaks.
"It’s the female war god of the Deer Hunt Academy."
"Rumor has it that this woman is incredibly strong and terrifying, otherwise, she wouldn’t have such a title."
The five-colored phoenix broke through the clouds and approached. The female war god was clad in golden armor, though it did little to conceal her proud figure. Her ample chest, slender waist, and long, straight legs shone with a golden light, presenting an alternative kind of beauty.
Although wearing a golden helmet, most of her face was exposed, with features as exquisite as a painting and skin as white as jade. She was a rare beauty with a distinctive aura.
She looked at the tiny figure and said with a gleaming white smile, "I’d like to invite you to join the Deer Hunt Academy."
Everyone was surprised. The female war god of the Deer Hunt Academy was quite direct with her invitation. It was expected, as they aimed to recruit the best talents, otherwise, how could they be so powerful and transcendent?
With animal pelts fluttering and runes flashing, a group of white-clad women, each like a celestial being, soared into the sky.
"Little brother, we want to invite you to join the Sky Repair Pavilion."
This made people envious. Two top sanctuaries were vying for the same child, who would undoubtedly receive the highest level of treatment and be cultivated as a protector or successor.
"I say, young friend, you should take your time deciding. If you wish to cultivate, it’s not necessary to join those places; some ancient families might suit you better," an old man with a crane-like white beard said, sitting cross-legged on a peculiar stone and floating into the sky.
"Ah, young friend, may I have a word with you?" Another voice spoke up.
In that instant, more than a dozen groups extended olive branches to the tiny figure.
These were top-tier powers. Ordinary clans did not even attempt to approach, knowing they lacked the competitive advantage compared to the Deer Hunt Academy, Sky Repair Pavilion, and ancient families.
The tiny figure snapped back to reality, scratched his head, and smiled shyly, appearing very restrained and awkward.
Many people found the child very down-to-earth, but some were skeptical. Especially those from the four major clans who had been extorted, they cursed inwardly, thinking, "If you’re so innocent and shy, you wouldn’t be scheming about the Void Realm passage. How could you be so shy and still try to extort us?"
"Thank you, sisters and uncles. I’m still unsure how to choose. Let me think about it," the tiny figure replied, not wanting to offend anyone by choosing one over the others.
"Okay."
The people were straightforward, either from ancient sanctuaries or old families. They knew it was pointless to persist and withdrew one by one.
Then, the tiny figure's gaze grew a bit distant and profound again as he stared at the horizon, seemingly lost in thought.
"I say, child, what are you thinking?" Elder Jingbi called out loudly, thinking he looked melancholic, perhaps troubled by something unpleasant.
"Ah," the tiny figure sighed and said, "I forgot something."
"What is it?" Bird Elder asked, while others looked on in surprise.
"I forgot to place a bet with you. Before breaking the record, I should have bet on myself. I forgot," the tiny figure said, retracting his wandering gaze and calling out indignantly.
"Ah, go away." Everyone wanted to give him a shoehorn, thinking his melancholic expression and sullen demeanor meant something serious, but it turned out to be this trivial issue. Was he really so concerned about not tricking anyone?
Earlier, people thought he had an extraordinary demeanor, even though he was so small, constantly gazing at the horizon. Now, his image was shattered; this child had been lamenting not tricking anyone.
With a whoosh, the tiny figure jumped directly from the peak, startling everyone into retreating rapidly, not wanting to be thrown by him.
"Boom."
The diamond rock shattered. A huge deep pit appeared on the ground, and the strange child emerged unscathed, dusting himself off and walking straight back along the same path.
“Cough, cough,” many people were coughing from the impact of the shattered stones and dust.
The news of the tiny figure breaking Shi Yi’s record spread with astonishing speed. First, the monument appeared with the record, causing a great quake in the Void Realm. Then, places like the Stone Kingdom and various great sects and noble residences were abuzz with discussions.
The news spread like a storm among the cultivators. Everyone learned that a very small child had risen to prominence with extraordinary talent.
“In one day, he broke three records, especially the last one, which showcased his unparalleled explosive power. It surpasses Shi Yi, a divine-like record!”
“Find him immediately, determine his origins and identity, and if possible, invite him into the imperial city.”
At this moment, the ancient nations were shaken. Major powers issued orders, seeing this extraordinary youth as someone who might rival Shi Yi and thus worth the greatest efforts to win over.
“Investigate thoroughly; we must uncover his background without missing any details,” meanwhile, even major powers like the Rain Clan had their prominent figures, whose expressions were not pleasant, seeking to trace the tiny figure’s identity.
Shi Yi’s legend was broken. Although it was only one record, it caused a major uproar. Everyone, whether in the Void Realm or the ancient nations, was talking about it.
“Hmm, this child’s background is hard to find. We should focus on his activities in the Void Realm for now.”
Many people wanted to know what the tiny figure, who had just shattered Shi Yi’s undefeated myth, was doing. Thus, many who hadn’t come earlier to watch arrived, turning the place into a sea of people.
“Eh, why is he sitting on that large blue stone again? What is he trying to do?” People were puzzled.
“Boom.”
The blue stone shook, and a curtain of light covered it, obscuring the area.
“Could he be trying to destroy the Void Realm’s passage again?”
As soon as the words were spoken, a monument appeared with the inscription: Shattered the Initial Passage.
“Ah, come on!”
“Human and divine wrath!”
“He actually shattered it again in even less time!”
People were stunned and then erupted into chaos.
“Is he serious? He got another piece of treasure bone!”
All over, the excitement was deafening. This peculiar child had, in pursuit of the treasure bone, set another record by destroying a golden passage.
“Unfair to heaven and humanity!”
“Too ridiculous; this child deserves a beating!”
In various caves and paradises, everyone was outraged. How could this be allowed? The Void Realm even rewarded him with another piece of treasure bone, which only fueled their anger.
“Who will go to the Initial Place and give him a good beating? I’m really infuriated.”
“In that cursed place, few can be tough with the child. Going there would just be asking for trouble.”
“Damn it, he broke the record again. Look, he shattered the Initial Passage for the third time!”
People were completely enraged. This child was too extraordinary, was he going to endlessly chase after treasure bones?
“Eh, wait, he wasn’t rewarded with a treasure bone this time. It seems heaven is finally fair, haha, he was warned by the Void Realm and listed as an unwelcome figure.”
“Haha, this bizarre child.”
Everywhere, people laughed heartily. The heavens had finally been fair for once.
The tiny figure was frustrated. He had originally hoped to acquire the third piece of treasure bone and planned to set up his own divine formation. Instead, he was sternly warned, with dark clouds gathering above him, refusing to disperse.
He muttered to himself, “Why warn me? It didn’t say attacking the Void Realm’s passage wasn’t allowed. If there were such clear rules, I wouldn’t have made a mistake.”
“Hehe.”
“Haha.”
Everyone laughed loudly. For some reason, seeing this bizarre child suffering, with dark clouds pressing down on him, brought them great satisfaction.
Only the tiny figure remained glum, wandering around the Initial Place. He said, “Find me ten Beast Kings. I broke another record for the Eye of Rebirth.”
This statement immediately caused a great commotion. This peculiar child was indeed beyond ordinary understanding; he was stirring up trouble again.
Soon after, some people went to search for Beast Kings to see just how strong he was.
“Eh, what is he doing?”
People noticed the tiny figure standing in front of the monument, feeling it up and touching the treasure bone on it.
“Ah, this child has gone mad. He isn’t thinking of messing with the record monument, is he?”
Many had a bad premonition and looked at him with odd expressions.
“Boom.”
A thunderous sound confirmed their fears.
“Ancestors, why can’t you just calm down? Even the record monument is targeted?” Elder Jingbi and others were astonished, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Others were dumbfounded. This child was too bizarre. He actually dared to do this.
Before long, the curtain of light covering the monument retreated, revealing the tiny figure and the shattered monument.
“Ah, he really shattered it.”
As light rain fell, a new monument appeared, showing a new record: Shattered the Initial Record Monument, severe warning, expulsion from the Void Realm for two years.
At the same time, similar inscriptions appeared everywhere, leaving everyone stunned.
Only the tiny figure was furious, the dark clouds above him thickening, almost burying him.
“Hahaha.”
After a brief silence, the Void Realm erupted with laughter. No one knew how many were laughing.
“This must be the first time ever; he’s actually been expelled from the Void Realm,” people were left speechless that such a thing had happened.
“Haha, this is too interesting,” many laughed uncontrollably.
The tiny figure’s form was becoming faint, obscured by the dark clouds, his body blurring and about to disappear.
“Why? I haven’t done anything wrong. The monument didn’t say attacking was forbidden,” he shouted angrily.
“Child, two years will pass quickly. We’ll wait for your return. During this time, you’re destined to become a legend in the Void Realm that no one can replace, hehe,” a group of people, whether out of malice or genuine farewell, sent him off.
Two years—neither long nor short—might bring many changes. To be continued:
