n“Since you already know, I won’t continue talking,” Kade said.

n“I would register you first; can I have your token?” Kade asked.

nAlthough most tokens wouldn’t work here, it is still the Ethereum Realm Universal Identification ID.

nMaximus and Sky took out their tokens and gave them to Kade.

n“Hmm? Core student token? Beast Saint token?”

n“The identity of the two of you is indeed unusual,” Kade commented.

nLike the Origin Arcana Institute, students are ranked as seekers, official, special, and core students.

nThe Beast Continent also has ranks for its talented prodigies, from Beast Alpha, Beast Savant, Beast Paragon, Beast Saint, and Beast God.

nSoon, Kade processed the two tokens, inputting abyss runes and a large volume of abyss origin.

nSeeing Kade effortlessly control abyss energy, Maximus couldn’t help but be envious.

nHe had already copied Kade’s physique and domain.

nHowever, he still couldn’t fully control the abyss energy like Kade.

nHowever, seeing the alchemy ring on Kade’s finger.

nMaximus understood that it should be the abyss realm’s innate treasure.

n“Done!”

n“Now you two can use these tokens like you used to in the Ethereum realm,” Kade said, giving the tokens back to them.

nMaximus quickly opened the token interface at Kade’s instruction.

nPersonal Information…

nAbyss Realm Forum…

nEthereum Abyss Bank…

nMission Leaderboard…

n“So it can connect wirelessly now,” Maximus thought.

nFrom what Maximus read from Tintin’s database, long-distance wireless connection in the abyss had long been solved.

nUnfortunately, besides needing individuals born and raised in the abyss.

nOne also needed a special initiate treasure to control part of the abyss origin.

nWhat Kade just did is reinforce the token to be of the same frequency as the abyss realm.

nThe reason for limiting the spread of this long-distance wireless communication is, of course, abyss origin.

nMaximus estimated that the abyss origin inputted by Kade just now was at least 100 trillion.

nOf course, if converted to crystal merit, with Ethereum realm origin greediness, it would be worth less than a trillion.

n“How is it? What do you plan to do now?” Kade asked with a smile.

n“First, go to Purgatory City and decide,” Maximus said.

nA few days later, it was another annual exchange event.

nBefore deciding, he wanted to exchange a large amount of crystal merits and some Abyss Source.

nAlthough looking at the Tintin Abyss information database, Maximus also had a rough destination in mind.

n“Then I wish you good luck…”

n…

nA few days later, in Purgatory City:

nMaximus and Skye split as usual, each doing their own thing.

nMaximus, coming to a familiar city, started to move.

nThe shops were already marked, and their limit tolerance was also calculated.

nOn the first day, he exchanged over 150 trillion.

n“It seems like people got richer this year,” Maximus thought.

nAfter exchanging the money, he changed his disguise again and roamed around collecting tier 6 Abyss Source.

nMuch like the last time, he gathered hundreds of them.

n…

nFinishing his shopping spree, he met up with Skye, who looked like she enjoyed herself with the trillion he gave her.

n“Shall we go to the auction?”

n“Yes.”

nIn a familiar way, Maximus and Skye, like veterans, changed their disguises and entered the auction hall’s supreme VIP room.

nAs in the last event, Maximus didn’t buy any miscellaneous treasures or resources.

nHis only focus was the abyss source.

nUnfortunately, it seemed that people in the VIP room had already learned their lessons from the last auction.

nEven with Maximus’s unscrupulous attitude of getting the abyss source regardless of the price.

nHe only managed to obtain 5 of them, one less than last year.

nTo this, Maximus just smiled.

nHe could go to any other outpost afterward; by then, collecting abyss source should be a cinch.

n….

nA week later, after the Annual Exchange event:

n“What outpost are we going to?” Skye asked, looking at the various teleportation arrays.

n“To the Eternal Ruin Outpost,” Maximus said after thinking.

n“Eternal Ruin Outpost?! Are you crazy?” Skye asked in shock, suppressing her voice.

nEternal Ruin Outpost is the most dangerous and biggest outpost in the Purgatory layer.

nThe End Town is like a paradise in comparison.

n“It’s just right so you can train like a real warrior,” Maximus smiled teasingly.

nBefore, when he asked Skye which outpost had the most abyss source, she mentioned the End Town.

nHowever, to his disappointment, it indeed had a lot of Abyss Source.

nUnfortunately, they were barely tier 4 and tier 5.

nEven after a year of nonstop searching, he found less than ten tier 6 abyss sources, much less tier 7 abyss sources.

nAs for the Eternal Ruin Outpost, that was the real frontline of the Purgatory layer.

nIt was at the direct junction of the Core and Purgatory layers.

nThe outpost itself is not stationary like End Town but a moving fortress.

nAs for why?

nIt was because abyss sources appeared endlessly, like a glitch.

nSometimes, it would even penetrate the city’s defensive barrier, and an abyss source would directly summon inside the city.

nAnd these abyss sources appearing are not merely for show; Tier 7 abyss sources are the norm.

nOccasionally, there are also tier 8 abyss sources that need the three apex sovereigns permanently stationed in the fortress to take action.

nIt can be said that all the people surviving and staying in the Eternal Ruin Outpost are either lunatics or super geniuses.

nMaximus thinks he can finally copy some heaven-defying domain or awakened physique in such a place.

nAs for the End Town, despite scanning all of its inhabitants, he can’t find anything worthy of his attention.

nBesides Kade and the managers of various top guilds and organizations, no individual possesses an awakened physique.

nMeanwhile, Skye frowned after hearing Maximus took the Eternal Ruin Outpost lightly.

n“Can we not go there? We can fight nonstop elsewhere if you want,” Skye suggested, her expression filled with concern.

nNinety-nine percent of her deaths in her previous life occurred in this place.

nIt was indeed a paradise for the strong but also a graveyard for them.

nSkye didn’t know how many geniuses were buried in that no-man’s land.

nThis is also the very reason it was called Eternal Ruin Outpost.

nGeniuses upon geniuses, with the chance to attain eternity, lie buried like an eternal ruin in the ground.

n“No, the Eternal Ruin Outpost is just right for our current strength.”

n“If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”

n“Oh~ Then I will go,” Skye nodded immediately and didn’t say more.

n“Hmmm.”

nSoon, the two walked toward the Eternal Ruin Outpost’s Teleportation array.

nAround were tens of thousands of others who looked different from the rest.

nJust getting near them, Maximus felt a murderous and indomitable aura.

nIf it were a normal Tier 7 individual right now, they would probably break into a cold sweat due to the pressure.

nHowever, Maximus and Skye were like entering their home, relaxed and leisurely.

n“Oh? Another special rank this year?” a man muttered, seeing the two.

nThe Eternal Ruin Outpost is different from other outposts.

nIt can only be entered by at least a guardian rank or those with special status.

nLooking at the two fresh faces that didn’t seem to have soaked long enough on the battlefield.

nThe man concluded that they had a special status.

n“Probably some overconfident genius who hasn’t seen much of the world.”

n“Hehe, I bet these two will either die in the first week or come back crying in a few days.”

n“Don’t underestimate them too much. Who knows if they were a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”

n“So what? Who here isn’t?”

nThe people surviving and still going to the Eternal Ruin Outpost are super geniuses of their time.

nTheir will, soul, and body are forged with unending fire battle.

nFurthermore, most of them are already Tier 8.

nThus, even if the two newbies are more talented than them, they are no match.

nMaximus and Skye, who heard all their jeering, didn’t react.

nThey stood in the teleportation array, waiting to be teleported.

nThe array already sensed their tokens, so they didn’t need to register or anything.

nOf course, Maximus wouldn’t just dwindle here.

nChecking to see if any apex sovereign was hidden in the crowd, he commanded his system to start copying.

nAll the domains and special physiques of the people in the teleportation array were copied.

nLooking at the seven awakened special physiques he just copied, he couldn’t help but smile.

nThis is really a treasure trove.

nIn just the first round, there was already a big harvest.

nBefore he could check the description of the physique, he had just copied.

nThe man who was doubtful about their strength earlier approached them.

n“Hello, I’m Yuso, the squad leader of Abyss Dragon Squad.”

n“I’m Maximus, and this is Skye,” Maximus introduced.

nJudging by his figure, Yuso should be from the Dragon Clan in the Beast Continent.

nFurthermore, looking at his status panel.

nIt seems he was one of the people from whom Maximus copied an awakened physique.

nYuso Dragonfist: Tier 8

nDragon Body Law: 45

nDomain: Forbidden Domain

nPhysique: Abyss Dragon Body (Heaven)
