For a Quasi-Emperor to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm, 100,000 years is actually quite a short time, but given the circumstances, many Quasi-Emperors have no choice but to accept it.

Yi Shuihan remained calm because he felt that he would be able to break through in about 10,000 years, and even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't take 100,000 years, so he had plenty of time.

The entrance to the secret realm is small, so not everyone can enter at the same time. Only three people can enter at a time, and the quasi-emperors enter in batches.

Yi Shuihan and his group were among the first to enter. After the Demon Extermination Army entered, it was the turn of the Myriad Realms United High School. Since Yi Shuihan was the champion of the competition, he was naturally the first in the school to enter.

In this way, Yi Shuihan became the 11th person to enter the secret realm.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Shuihan found himself in a secret realm.

My first impression wasn't anything special, except that the chaotic energy was a bit denser.

"So what exactly is here that can increase the probability of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm?"

If anyone knew, it would surely be the Demon Extermination Army. Yi Shuihan began searching for traces of the Demon Extermination Army, intending to learn from their experience.

Chapter 1317, Hunger

After entering the secret realm, the location you appear in is a fixed area, not a random teleportation, as can be seen from the Emperor and Shifei next to Yi Shuihan.

The demon-slaying army hadn't been inside long, and Yi Shuihan quickly found them; they weren't far away.

"So you do know something after all!"

Yi Shuihan noticed that the demon-slaying army seemed to be heading in one direction with a purpose, and after thinking about it, he decided to follow them.

When Yi Shuihan made this decision, all of her teammates from the school had already entered.

"I think we can follow them and see what happens."

"no comment."

"agree."

At this point, no one voiced any dissent, and the group silently followed behind the demon-slaying army.

Yi Shuihan and his group were not far from the Demon Extermination Army, and the Demon Extermination Army should have known that they were following them, but they did not make any move and seemed not to care.

"Why did it develop into this clandestine affair? Perhaps it would be more appropriate to go up and directly express our thoughts to our peers now."

Such a thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, but in the end he did not carry it out, and maintained the balance.

Behind Yi Shuihan and his group, the quasi-emperors from other forces followed at a distance, forming a tacit understanding as well.

While traveling, Yi Shuihan still devoted some of his energy to sensing the secret realm, hoping to discover its secrets. Rather than being led by the nose, Yi Shuihan actually preferred to be the one leading the nose.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan didn't come away empty-handed; he did discover some unusual things, but these discoveries weren't anything to brag about.

First, this secret realm was frighteningly stable, making it impossible for Yi Shuihan to teleport. Second, or rather, this was Yi Shuihan's most important discovery: he was actually feeling hungry. Yes, it was hunger. Yi Shuihan didn't know how long it had been since he had experienced this feeling. After all, after embarking on the path of the extraordinary, maintaining one's own operation with energy was a very common thing. Yi Shuihan often ate food only to satisfy his appetite.

It is absurd that a future emperor, destined to become the ruler of chaos, would experience hunger, yet it all feels so real.

Hunger is not uncontrollable. Yi Shuihan discovered that as long as he did not absorb the chaotic energy in the secret realm, his hunger would be reduced. He originally wanted to do this, but he gave up on not absorbing the chaotic energy until the system reminded him that this hunger was helpful to him.

It's obvious that the chaotic energy in the secret realm is problematic; it's not ordinary chaotic energy. Absorbing chaotic energy is supposed to replenish energy, yet it feels like a lot of energy is being consumed. This is incredible, just like how the more you eat, the hungrier you feel.

To verify his idea, Yi Shuihan took out some snacks from his storage space and put them in his mouth.

"It seems this isn't a food problem."

The snacks still tasted familiar, but they still didn't lessen Yi Shuihan's hunger.

"As long as you don't absorb the chaotic energy in the secret realm, you won't feel hungry."

Shifei, who was standing to the side, noticed Yi Shuihan's actions and spoke up.

Yi Shuihan noticed that Shi Fei and the others had shielded their bodies and were not absorbing the chaotic energy, knowing that they had also experienced hunger.

"Actually, I think it's a good thing to feel hungry. I suggest you try it more often."

Although Shi Fei's words were ultimately of little use, they were well-intentioned, so Yi Shuihan didn't mind returning the favor and subtly reminding Shi Fei that if she understood, she would naturally benefit from it.

Shifei gave Yi Shuihan a strange look, but ultimately did not choose to follow his advice.

The hunger continued, and by the time Yi Shuihan felt some pain on his face, it was as if he hadn't eaten all day. With Yi Shuihan's willpower, this pain was nothing to him, but not much time had passed yet, and he didn't know if he could hold on if it continued.

Don't underestimate hunger. When people are really hungry, no one can withstand it. When people are extremely hungry, they lose their rationality and only have the instinct to eat left. In chaotic times, people exchanged children to eat because of extreme hunger.

Fortunately, as long as Yi Shuihan and the others sealed their bodies and did not absorb the chaotic energy, they would not feel hungry. Otherwise, Yi Shuihan really could not imagine what would happen next. In order to get rid of the feeling of hunger, it would be normal for them to prey on each other.

If the system hadn't explicitly told Yi Shuihan that hunger was helpful, he wouldn't have forced himself to endure it. Honestly, the feeling of hunger is really unpleasant.

After a day of this, Yi Shuihan's hunger had reached the point where he hadn't eaten for a week. To put it another way, if you looked closely, you would notice that his eyes were turning a little green.

Even though he knew that eating wouldn't alleviate his hunger, Yi Shuihan kept putting all sorts of food into his mouth. This scene made everyone around him look at Yi Shuihan with concern for his mental disability. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's strength, all sorts of ridicule would probably have been coming out by now.

Yi Shuihan was not unaware of this. In fact, he also regarded them as fools. Hunger was unpleasant, but the benefits were now clearly perceptible.

Yi Shuihan discovered that the energy within him, the power of the realm, was becoming increasingly refined and showing a tendency to evolve further. Not only that, his senses also became more and more acute, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment. The only regret was probably the persistent feeling of hunger.

"Just consider it a test of willpower."

Suppressing the urge to stop absorbing the chaotic energy, Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

Several days later, Yi Shuihan finally stopped, because the demon-slaying army in front of them also stopped advancing for the first time.

Have we arrived at our destination?

Looking around, they saw the demon-slaying soldiers excitedly walk to a small spring and start drinking water, looking completely satisfied, as if they were on drugs.

"If there's a problem, then there must be something wrong with the spring water."

Before Yi Shuihan could figure out what to do, a scout had already gone ahead. It was a reincarnator who suddenly appeared behind a demon-slaying soldier and launched a sneak attack. The attack was successful, and the soldier was subdued.

"what are you doing?"

The sudden turn of events united the demon-slaying army in their hatred, and they glared angrily at the reincarnator.

"Answer me one question: I released him, what is that spring water, and what is its specific use?"

These words stunned the demon-slaying army. They had never expected that the other party would go to such lengths for this purpose. In fact, if the other party had asked politely, they would not have hidden anything from them.

The demon-slaying army will never know what that reincarnator is thinking. In the reincarnators' dictionary, if you obediently tell them information, they will not believe you. They feel that communication will only be more genuine when there is something to hold against them.

To put it bluntly, that reincarnator was a persecution maniac.

Chapter 1318, The Fountain of Satiety

Yi Shuihan and the others saw clearly what was happening at the Demon Extermination Army's location, and they all unanimously chose to watch, because in fact, everyone present wanted to know the answer to the question posed by the reincarnator.

Actually, if that reincarnator had attacked a human, Yi Shuihan might have stopped him, since they were all of the same race. However, since the one attacked was a winged race member, and Yi Shuihan didn't have a good impression of winged race members, he could just watch the show without any qualms.

"Will you release Granger once you know the answer?"

A quasi-emperor who appeared to be the leader of the demon-slaying army asked the question, while signaling the other demon-slaying soldiers not to act rashly.

"Tsk tsk, enough nonsense. If you tell me, he might not be in trouble. If you don't tell me, he definitely is. Also, you'd better not lie to me, or I won't hesitate to kill you all."

No one present would believe that he would wipe out the entire Demon Extermination Army. Putting aside whether this reincarnator had the ability, even if he did, he probably wouldn't dare to do it. If he really wiped out the Demon Extermination Army, Emperor Baki would definitely not let him go after he got out, even if he got out after becoming the Chaos Emperor.

Whether the outside world will know what happens in the secret realm is unclear, so let's pretend we don't know. To kill all the demon-slaying army without being known, the only way would be to silence all the other quasi-emperors inside, including the big shot Yi Shuihan. That's an impossible task.

Even though they knew it was a lie, it still managed to enrage the demon hunters, who glared at him and almost lost control of the situation.

"Okay, I'll tell you, that's the Fountain of Satiety. As long as you drink from it, you won't be hungry for a period of time."

"Pfft!"

An arm was thrown to the ground. After receiving the answer, the reincarnator did not hesitate to cut off the arm of the demon-slaying army he had kidnapped.

"I told you not to lie to me, but it seems you've ignored me. Tell me its real purpose."

“I’m not lying to you, I’m telling the truth, it really is a fountain that fills the stomach.”

Another arm was severed, and the Reincarnator's face was extremely ugly. He hadn't expected the Demon Extermination Army to be so tough, still trying to hide it even at this point.

"You think I'm a fool? You'd be so excited if it were just about filling your stomachs."

Thinking this to himself, the Reincarnator felt that perhaps he should be even more ruthless and simply kill the demon-slaying soldier in his hands.

"The Fountain of Satiety? It must be real."

Yi Shuihan believed that the answer given by the Demon Extermination Army was true. He thought so because he knew that absorbing chaotic energy was beneficial, but the hunger was extremely difficult to endure after absorbing chaotic energy for a long time. Even he could not persist in this way. If the effect of the Fullness Spring could eliminate the feeling of hunger, then that would be the best effect in the secret realm.

There weren't many who shared Yi Shuihan's thoughts, but there were a few who were intelligent and destined to become emperors.

"I can swear an oath on the Great Dao: if what I say is false, may I die and my Dao vanish immediately."

Left with no other choice, the leader of the demon-slaying army uttered these words.

This time, the reincarnators who hijacked the Demon Extermination Army finally believed it. After all, the oath of the Great Dao is not so easy to make. Let alone a True Saint, even a Chaos Emperor would only face death if he violated the oath of the Great Dao, unless the Great Dao Emperor intervened.

"Haha, you could have said that earlier! Now it's so awkward. Don't look at me like that, it scares me!"

"stop!"

"Don't worry, this is just a small trick. I am no match for the nine of you. As long as you don't attack me, I guarantee he will be fine."

As expected of someone from the Main God Space, they are ruthless and have many tricks up their sleeve.

The reincarnator, known as a cunning villain, escaped unscathed, and everyone learned the purpose of the spring, resulting in a happy ending for all. The only ones who suffered were the winged race member who was harmed by the cunning villain and the demon-slaying army who were threatened.

......

The function of the spring water was clear. Everyone was smart enough to connect it to the feeling of hunger and quickly guessed the connection. They stopped shielding themselves and began to absorb its chaotic energy.

Gradually, the special nature of the Chaos Qi was no longer a secret. The idea of ​​all quasi-emperors was to use the Chaos Qi to reach their optimal state and break through to the Chaos Emperor realm. For this reason, sufficient spring water was indispensable.

A problem soon arose: the spring water was limited, and although it was replenished periodically according to the rules, it could not sustain all the quasi-emperors indefinitely.

At first, everyone was able to restrain themselves, but later, as they absorbed more chaotic energy, they needed more spring water to suppress their hunger, making the competition for spring water inevitable.

Yi Shuihan probably needs the least amount of spring water, because he used hunger to train his willpower from the beginning, and only occasionally drank a little bit of spring water when absolutely necessary, or simply stopped absorbing the chaotic energy.

Unlike other quasi-emperors, Yi Shuihan was full of confidence that he could break through to the Chaos Emperor realm, so he didn't care about the little bit of time. In addition, with his strong strength, no one would come looking for him even if he took more spring water. Therefore, he was in a completely detached position, watching these quasi-emperors fight.

Some might say that the hunger will disappear once you stop absorbing food, and you can just endure it for a little longer. However, the facts prove that when it comes to becoming a Chaos Emperor, the quasi-emperors are willing to fight to the death, just to gain a little more time.

At first, they were only injured, but later they began to die.

Just a thousand years later, 23 of the quasi-emperors who entered the secret realm have been killed, which is about one-sixth of their original number. Of course, those who died were the weak and disunited.

None of the students from Yi Shuihan's school died, nor did the Demon Extermination Army, and of course, the reincarnators did as well.

Some quasi-emperors died, and the spring water was barely enough for a period of time, allowing everyone to cultivate in peace. However, everyone knew that when the spring water ran out again, the fighting would continue, and everyone was preparing for that moment to arrive.

Chapter 1319, Seizing a Share of the Satiation Spring

Most of the quasi-emperors had their attention focused on the Fountain of Satiety, as if having enough of it would guarantee them becoming Chaos Emperors. The more Chaos Qi they absorbed in the secret realm, the closer they felt to becoming Chaos Emperors. The feeling that they could break through at any moment was irresistible to them.

Yi Shuihan was one of the few who remained clear-headed. Besides having no shortage of food springs, the most important reason was that he had a system. Shortly after entering the secret realm, his system underwent certain changes.

It seems that something in the secret realm has caused the system to begin to strengthen further. Although it has not reached the level of complete evolution, it has become increasingly powerful. The most obvious manifestation of this is the emergence of new functions.

Yi Shuihan can now check his breakthrough status. In his vision, a progress bar is shining brightly, and it has already progressed one-third of the way. The meaning of the progress bar is very simple. As long as the progress bar is completely completed, it means that Yi Shuihan can break through to the Chaos Emperor realm. At that time, the probability of breaking through is basically 100%. The progress bar can be regarded as the probability of Yi Shuihan breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm.

It allows you to see the probability of your breakthrough, which is a very powerful function, especially when breaking through to the level of Chaos Emperor. Even a true Chaos Emperor does not have this ability, and it is unknown whether a Great Dao Emperor can achieve this level.

Knowing clearly and intuitively the probability of his breakthrough prevented Yi Shuihan from being misled by his senses, thinking he could break through and acting recklessly, ultimately failing to achieve his goal.

The failure to break through to the Chaos Emperor level is not without its side effects. Once the first breakthrough fails, the difficulty of succeeding in subsequent breakthroughs increases dramatically. Since the birth of the myriad realms, there has never been an example of someone who has failed three times and still managed to break through to the Chaos Emperor level.

"It will take about another two thousand years to become a Chaos Emperor."

Thinking this, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but smile. He had no doubt about the system's capabilities. After all, he had relied on the system to get where he was from an ordinary mortal. Although he had hardly used the system after becoming a True Saint, it didn't mean that the system was unimportant.

"Is there a problem?"

Yi Shuihan looked at the “companions” standing in front of him: Sword Emperor Jian Wushuang, and three others who were close to Sword Emperor: Huo Fen, the fire elementalist ranked seventh in the competition; Varna, the angelic race ranked eighth; and Saint Max, the winged race ranked ninth.

Sword Emperor, clearly the leader of the four, gave Yi Shuihan a friendly smile and slowly said, "We are all from the Multiverse United High School; we are all classmates. Our fates are intertwined; we share both glory and loss. Mutual help and support are the only right thing to do. Now..."

"Enough with the small talk, just get to the point."

Yi Shuihan waved his hand, interrupting the Sword Emperor.

"We hope you can step forward and secure more Fountains of Satisfaction for us. Rather than letting other forces' Quasi-Emperors become Chaos Emperors, it would be better for us to achieve it. If we become Chaos Emperors, we will definitely remember your kindness and repay you in the future."

"Don't come to me with this. Go to Father Emperor or Shifei instead. If they can't handle it, then come to me."

If it were Hemlari asking for some food from the Fountain of Sustenance, Yi Shuihan would definitely be willing to help. But these few... Yi Shuihan said he wasn't familiar with them. Considering they were all students at the same school, he could at most save their lives if they were bullied by other quasi-emperors. Getting them food from the Fountain of Sustenance was out of the question.

“We have already approached the Emperor and Shifei, but they have not agreed.”

"Is that so? Then I won't agree either. Actually, I think you guys are quite strong. If you work together, you should be able to grab enough food from the Fountain of Satiation. You don't need any help at all."

While speaking, he had an expression that said, "I have high hopes for you," leaving the Sword Emperor and the others completely bewildered.
