The moment the words "LEGENDARY REALM — DRAGON RUINS CLEARED" appeared on the massive screen inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the entire building erupted with excitement.
For days, the Dragon Ruins had been the most mysterious and intimidating challenge introduced by the system. Many cultivators had wondered whether anyone would even survive the realm, let alone defeat the Ancient Dragon Remnant guarding its deepest chamber.
Now the impossible had happened.
Five cultivators from different sects had successfully conquered the Legendary Realm.
Inside the shop, the noise was deafening.
Disciples from every floor crowded around the ranking board, shouting excitedly while pointing at the newly updated leaderboard.
"I can't believe they actually defeated it!"
"That dragon looked impossible to kill!"
"Did you see that final strike?!"
Even the cultivators from other sects who had come to observe the training hall could not hide their amazement.
The Dragon Ruins had proven something important.
The Cloud Mist Internet Café was not simply a place for training.
It was a battlefield capable of creating legends.
Standing quietly behind the counter, Lin Tian watched the celebration calmly.
The system panel inside his mind displayed the updated statistics.
Active Players: 100
Total Visitors Today: 4,862
Spirit Stones Earned: 24,310
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The shop's influence just exploded again."
The successful completion of the Legendary Realm had already spread through the crowd like wildfire.
Disciples rushed toward the machines, eager to try the Dragon Ruins themselves.
Even those who had never challenged the Tyrant Trial now felt the urge to test their strength.
But the most important moment was still happening inside the simulation.
Inside the Dragon Ruins, the five victorious cultivators stood in the center of the ruined battlefield.
The enormous body of the Ancient Dragon Remnant slowly faded away as the system completed the simulation.
Chen Yu lowered his sword and looked around the battlefield.
"So this is what victory feels like."
Beside him, Yan Feng let out a long breath.
"That was far harder than the Tyrant."
Liu Kang laughed loudly.
"I haven't had a fight that exciting in years!"
High above the battlefield, Elder Song slowly descended from the air as the wind energy around him faded.
"The cooperation between us made the difference."
Finally, Long Wei stepped forward calmly.
His gaze remained focused on the fading remains of the dragon.
"This realm is extraordinary."
A new system message suddenly appeared in front of the five cultivators.
Dragon Ruins Completion Reward
Legendary Insight Granted
For a brief moment, the battlefield glowed with golden light.
The five cultivators closed their eyes instinctively.
The energy of the Legendary Insight flowed through their bodies like a powerful wave of comprehension.
Inside the computer shop, the system screens displayed the same notification.
The watching cultivators gasped.
"They're receiving a reward!"
"That must be the Legendary Insight!"
Standing near the counter, Chen Yu's body suddenly released a powerful surge of sword energy.
His eyes opened slowly.
"I can feel it…"
Yan Feng clenched his fists as his spiritual energy surged.
"My reaction speed improved."
Liu Kang swung his weapon once.
The air split apart from the force.
"My strength increased!"
Elder Song smiled faintly.
"Even my wind techniques feel clearer."
Finally, Long Wei opened his eyes.
A faint silver glow surrounded his weapon.
"The reward is real."
Inside the computer shop, the disciples stared at the screen with burning excitement.
"The Legendary Realm actually gives cultivation benefits!"
"That means it's even more valuable than the other realms!"
The reputation of the Cloud Mist Internet Café was rising faster than ever before.
But the impact of the victory did not stop there.
Outside the shop, the news spread across Cloud Mist Peak within minutes.
Disciples ran down the mountain path shouting the news to others waiting below.
"The Dragon Ruins was cleared!"
"A team defeated the dragon!"
"Long Wei and the others did it!"
Within a short time, the entire Lingyuan Sect knew about the achievement.
Even the elders within the sect headquarters heard the news.
Standing on a distant cliff overlooking the mountain, the Sect Leader of the Lingyuan Sect quietly observed the glowing building on Cloud Mist Peak.
"So they succeeded."
His eyes carried a thoughtful expression.
"This training hall is far more powerful than I imagined."
Meanwhile, inside the computer shop, the ranking board updated once again.
A new golden title appeared.
Dragon Ruins First Conquerors
Long Wei — Sky Dragon Pavilion
Chen Yu — Heaven Sword Peak
Yan Feng — Crimson Star Sect
Liu Kang — Thunder Flame Peak
Elder Song — Azure Wind Sect
The crowd erupted once more.
"Legendary conquerors!"
"They're famous now!"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly watched the celebration.
But inside his mind, the system panel suddenly flashed again.
DING
A new notification appeared.
Mythic Realm Unlock Progress: 12%
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Legendary Realm had only been the beginning.
If the next stage was truly a Mythic Realm, then the challenges ahead would surpass even the power of the ancient dragon.
And if that happened…
The influence of the Cloud Mist Internet Café might spread far beyond the surrounding sects.
Perhaps even across the entire cultivation world.
