My Arts Evolve When Perfected

When those supreme experts appeared, Jiang Qiu could sense their presence. They weren't exceptionally far, relatively speaking. In truth, the distance was vast, but their auras were so potent they could be felt regardless.

Upon sensing their auras, Jiang Qiu's heart grew heavy. After all, they were all top-tier powerhouses. Competing with them for the number one legacy in the Dusk Holy Ruins—the Dragon Emperor's inheritance—was virtually impossible.

Of course, Jiang Qiu didn't necessarily have to fight for the Dragon Emperor's inheritance. What he needed most right now was to find a method to achieve Unity. If he could complete his Unity within the Dusk Holy Ruins, he would have the confidence to contend with Zuo Xuan when he eventually encountered him.

'Right now, it's still unclear where Zuo Xuan is. But if I run into him without enough power, it's almost certainly a death sentence!'

'Two months isn't a long time, but it's long enough for Zuo Xuan to have surely recovered some of his power. The only reason I dared to confront him when he was severely injured before was because Yang Lei was with me.'

'But now… who knows where Yang Lei is. We were all scattered randomly throughout the space and time of the Dusk Holy Ruins. We could be worlds apart; there's no way to know.'

'Under these circumstances, if I run into Zuo Xuan, it's certain death. Even if I encounter other powerful Harmonization Realm experts, it would be difficult to escape with my life.'

'I can still put up a fight against an opponent at the Initial Tier of Unity Realm, but against anyone a tier higher, I have no chance at all. The most I could do is use my high-frequency spatial transference to flee the battlefield. Unless it was absolutely necessary, my opponent probably wouldn't bother to chase me.'

And so, all Jiang Qiu could do now was wait for the will of the Dusk Holy Ruins to open its various ruins.

That's right. The will of the Dusk Holy Ruins had yet to open the true legacy ruins; it had merely gathered everyone in one place for now.

The legacy ruins held the true inheritances worth fighting for. Until they appeared, no one would start fighting without cause. After all, it was inevitable that many people possessed heaven-shattering trump cards.

Who among those who made it here wasn't a peerless prodigy?

Even those with relatively less Talent were, at the very least, old monsters who had lived for several thousand—perhaps even nearly ten thousand—years with no hope of a breakthrough. Their cunning ran deep!

Thus, Jiang Qiu had no choice but to take Snow's hand and hide beneath a patch of ruins, waiting quietly for the Dusk Holy Ruins to open the legacy ruins.

THE TIME HAS COME. THE LEGACY RUINS ARE OPEN. GO FORTH AND SEEK THE INHERITANCE YOU DESIRE.

REMEMBER, DO NOT BE CORRUPTED BY THE DEMONIC!

Suddenly, a vast, ethereal voice echoed from the depths of the Holy Ruins, sounding like a furious roar. Its presence was like that of a Tiger in its twilight—weathered by age, yet still utterly terrifying.

As the voice faded, points of starlight began to illuminate the sky one after another, as if a vast night had fallen. Countless Star Rivers twinkled into existence, and gradually, a strange, void-like aura became palpable.

That's right—the space between those points of light was the void. Each star was, in fact, a small world. No, not necessarily a small world; many were actually fragments formed from the shattering of former Great Realms. You could say they were pieces of a Great Realm.

It was just like the Northern Boundary Secret Realm that had once appeared on Blue Star, which was itself formed from the shattering of a peak Great Realm from the last epoch: the Celestial Profound Great Realm.

When a peak Great Realm shatters, the legacies within all belong to top-tier clans. At worst, they're from exceptionally large clans, perhaps on par with the current Three-Life Race. It's even possible they're stronger than the Emperor Blue Lizard Clan.

And now, every single one of these worlds contained an inheritance. No exceptions!

To put it another way, the Dusk Holy Ruins had collected every world bearing an inheritance from the previous epoch. Every single world here was a Secret Realm inaccessible to the Outer Realm—a hidden Secret Realm, a Secret Realm that had yet to be discovered!

In truth, Secret Realms are exceedingly rare. You might not find a single one of value across tens of millions of Great Realms. Only in extremely few places, like Blue Star, could countless Secret Realms be found—fragments of worlds from the previous epoch.

Blue Star even had world fragments from a peak Great Realm bound to it, with a specific region called the Northern Boundary where the Dragon Emperor's inheritance was located!

Worlds like that were certainly rare. For the vast majority of people, truly valuable Secret Realms were incredibly scarce. The so-called Secret Realms that those at the Dao Entry Realm fought over were, to powerhouses like them, not even worth a second glance.

And now, these experts gazed upon a boundless sea of stars in the sky—each one a Secret Realm! Among them were likely a great number of Secret Realms formed from the fragments of peak Great Realms!

No wonder so few world fragments from peak Great Realms were ever found in the Outer Realm. No wonder Secret Realms capable of attracting the attention of Harmonization Realm experts were so rare. It turned out that over ninety-nine percent of all inheritances had been hidden away by the will of the Dusk Holy Ruins, gathered here and waiting for them to be claimed!

That's right. The Dusk Holy Ruins was, in essence, the main body of the last epoch—a holdover from a fallen dynasty, so to speak. This place was a microcosm of the previous epoch, where the inheritances created by countless clans to ensure their continuation were all gathered.

The so-called Secret Realms in the Primordial world cluster outside were, in fact, just a tiny fraction that had leaked from this place. They weren't even worth mentioning in comparison.
