Chapter 187: Chapter 186: Killing Four Thousand Sector Lord Level Powerhouses!

Translator: 549690339

When the God Slaying Alliance announced the death of the Ancient God, the first reaction of the inhabitants of the Qiankun Continent, was that it was fake news.

However, after repeatedly confirming that the news came from the official channels of the God Slaying Alliance, they were somewhat stunned.

Then, after waiting for two days and noticing that no battles between the Ancient God and the Domain Lord Level powerhouses of the God Slaying Alliance were observed anywhere, they began to panic.

“The Ancient God is dead?”

The third day, the fourth day,the fifth day, for several consecutive days, there was no news of the Ancient God, forcing everyone to ponder the authenticity of the news released by the God Slaying Alliance.

People like Tang Ren weren’t concerned. They are connected with Du Gang at the Supreme Academy, knowing he’s safe, yet they also didn’t feel the need to clarify things on the internet.

As for Kong Xu, he was even less worried. The fact that the Kong Family sent him alone was telling enough. If the Ancient God died on Pangu Continent, he would have believed it, but he did not believe that the Ancient God could die here.

Of course, the real reason was that the Ancient God is a sacred body. Once it dies, phenomenon changing the heavens and earth would inevitably occur. Everywhere was calm and peaceful now, so naturally, the Ancient God could not have died.

In the Secret Realm, Du Gang could guess that the Array had been changed by representatives from those families.

However, he wasn’t anxious. Firstly, he didn’t understand arrays; secondly, it was useless to be anxious.

So, he continued to practice very steadily, while continuously throwing the Ancient Divine Spear, trying to comprehend a hint of the Original Laws.

A month’s time passed in a flash.

In this month, Du Gang threw the Ancient Divine Spear billions of times, and really had a faint understanding of the Original Law of the Gold Element.

Whether he can truly understand it, he did not know.

However, along the way, he had grasped 80% of the seventh mystery of the Gold Element, 60% of the eighth, and 40% of the ninth.

Besides, because he was always maintaining a giant state of ten million meters, the gravity state related to the Original Law of Earth Element was always on, and he was surprised to find that there was some connection between the Earth and Space Elements.

When gravity was unconsciously released, it subtly distorted the surrounding space, and as a consequence, his Skyward Nine Transformations, which had been stuck at the Third Transformation peak, also advanced a level, reaching the Fourth Transformation.

He did not grasp any more mysteries of the Space Laws, but after advancing the Skyward Nine Transformations to the Fourth Transformation, his speed also reached ten times the speed of light!

“It seems that Einstein’s conjecture that time would flow backwards when the speed surpasses the speed of light is not true...”

When he was chasing the Ancient Divine Spear at the speed of light, Du Gang would occasionally have such thoughts.

“However, seeing the previous me is possible... ”

At this moment. there wasn’t just one Bil Gang in the space- At the same time

there were ten of him flying at different positions in the sky.

All ten of him were real, but only one truly existed in the world.

Normally, the shadows produced by his leaps would leave light traces, moving at the speed of light.

But his speed surpassed the speed of light, leading to the simultaneous existence of ten identical shadows in the world at the same.

If one couldn’t reach the speed of light, let alone if their eyesight or Mental Power couldn’t reach the light speed level, they would basically not be able to tell whether the ten shadows were fake.

To them, all the ten appearing Du Gang were real!

Even if someone attempted to touch the ten shadows one by one, they would find that they all have entities!

Because wherever they touch, that’s where Du Gang was!

Interestingly, Du Gang himself was not concerned about this. Nevertheless, he unconsciously comprehended a new Light and Dark Laws.

The Mystery of Shadows!

It allowed Du Gang to maintain ten shadows, letting his body freely switch among these ten shadows.

It seemed like there were ten clones, but in essence, only one was real, and only one could attack.

But because Du Gang’s speed reached ten times the speed of light, he can simultaneously attack with these ten clones.

“Though I have acquired many techniques, none of them are decisive!”

Du Gang shook his head, “What I want is the Original Law, the attack type, which will let me, at the Domain Lord Level, defy the heavens and kill a Sector Lord!”

He didn’t have a hint of joy, and still put all his attention into the comprehension of the Original Law of the Gold Element.

Area 64.

A month had passed since the Ancient God was sealed, but on this day, the representative of the God Slaying Alliance arrived.

Because the local family notified them that they wanted to lift the ban that had sealed the Ancient God.

Kong Tai, who after several strategic moves was now subtly becoming the head of the God Slaying Alliance, spoke: ‘You want to lift the seal on the Ancient

God? Do you want to provoke the wrath of the Jiang Family? Besides, when the Ancient God comes out, will he let you off? Do you want your family to be doomed?”

“Bring about the ruin of my clan? Our family used to absorb energy from the core area of the hexagram, but now, with the Ancient God confined here, what can we possibly do?”

“Without energy, no more Domain Lord Level powers would arise in our clan. We’ll then gradually decline, rather than dying a slow death, it’s better to just open it...”

Kong Tai sneered.

He understood their intentions. If they really wanted to lift the seal, they would have done so long ago.

The reason they said that was to get some benefits from the other clans.

However, he would still play along with them.

“Gentlemen, he has a point. The Ancient God, which we all have jointly sealed, has caused long-term damage to the clans in zone 64...”

The people present were not fools. They understood that they must give some benefits to the families of Zone 64, or these people might actually release the Ancient God.

Eventually, each of the other regions allocated some slots for entering the hexagram’s core region to the families of Zone 64, ending the negotiation.

“Are there any issues with the array?!”

After the main discussion, people did not rush to leave but started chatting casually. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

“No problem. It’s completely sealed here. No one can come out from inside, and no one can go in from outside...”

“What do you think will ultimately happen to the Ancient God?”

“What else could happen? Of course, he will die of old age...”

“No, what I meant is, there’s abundant energy inside, and it keeps replenishing. What if the Ancient God practices for tens of millions of years and eventually reaches a terrifying realm?”

Kong Tai chuckled and said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve been in contact with the Jiang family. They said that the Ancient God and the Virtual Universe Company have an agreement... Before the spaceship departs from the Qiankun Continent to the Pangu Continent, if the Ancient God doesn’t annihilate us, the Virtual Universe Company will withdraw...”

“Then, the Jiang family will send even stronger beings to enter the Secret

Realm, permanently eradicate him, and solve this problem once and for all!”

He laughed, “Rest assured. The Jiang family is even more eager for the Ancient God to die...’

Hearing his words, everyone felt much more at ease.

“Kong Tai, I heard that the Array Master from above has taken a liking to you and wants to take you with him...”

“What are you saying!”

Kong Tai retorted unhappily, “He appreciated my talent!”

He said proudly, “Yes, the Array Master has asked me to accompany him to the Pangu Continent in half a month..

After confirming the news from Kong Tai, everyone present started to congratulate him.

Only Ning Hongguang wore a gloomy expression.

He, Ning Hongguang, was the first informant to the Jiang family. But now, he had nothing to do with it.

The greatest credit was taken by Kong Tai. The Ning family only received the same benefits as many other clans. Although these benefits were already quite substantial in their view, compared to the recognition Kong Tai received from the upper echelons, they seemed insignificant.

Kong Tai said with a smile, “By the way, tomorrow is my son’s wedding day. I wonder if you all could find time to drop by for a few drinks?” “Haha, congratulations on your son’s marriage, brother Kong!”

“Congratulations, Brother Kong, rest assured, we’ll definitely be there tomorrow!”

For a moment, everyone promised to attend the banquet.

Obviously, Kong Tai knew he was leaving soon, so he wanted to introduce his son to others, acquaint them with him, for future interactions.

Noticing Kong Tails opportunistic moves, Ning Hongguang grew more displeased, but he had no way to retaliate.

Right now, all he could do was quietly watch. Looking at Kong Tai’s triumphant face, Ning Hongguang wished he could kill him.

How about releasing the Ancient God?

This thought just surfaced, and he immediately rejected it. Only a fool would dare to do this. If he did it, he’d be dead. Once he got down there, he’d likely be beaten up by a bunch of ancestors.

Forget it. Kong Tai is leaving soon. Out of sight, out of mind! However, the more he avoided, the closer Kong Tai stuck to him.

“Brother Ning, you must come tomorrow...”

“Humph!”

Ning Hongguang snorted and directly turned to leave.

After he left, there was a sudden burst of whispers from behind.

“This Ning Hongguang, he simply has no sense of propriety!”

“Indeed, he made foolish moves before...

But Kong Tails face displayed a faint smile.

Another ten days passed quietly on the Qiankun Continent.

There were five days left until the agreed timeline.

At this moment, Tang Ren stood atop the tallest building in the academy, looking towards area 64, praying silently.

“Du Gang, you must make it out!”

Not just him, the Lone Prince from the virtual universe company also started to feel a little bored.

“This guy, is he capable or not? He can’t be incapable of breaking out of a mere spatial lockdown, can he?!”

He had secretly visited the cordoned-off area 64. It was indeed difficult for someone of the Sector Lord Level to break through, but if the Ancient God could comprehend a hint of the attack Original Law, he should be able to break free.

But, with only five days left, there was still no sign of the Ancient God making an appearance.

“Did we waste this hard-won opportunity just like this?”

The Lone Prince was starting to feel antsy. After taking the trouble of leaving the cosmic center, wasn’t he here to strike up an alliance? To befriend Du Gang so that he could ascend with him when the Ancient God breaks through?

As the saying goes, when one man attains enlightenment, even his pets ascend to heaven. During the Golden Age, if there is someone with exceptional luck who continuously advances, then there are some who can ride on their coattails.

The Lone Prince had no interest in becoming the most powerful person in the Golden Age because he was not fit for the role.

That’s why he chose to be on good terms with Du Gang.

But if Du Gang kicks the bucket prematurely, it’s going to be really interesting. All his investments would go down the drain.

For those with a Sacred Body like them, breaking through to the Sector Lord Level is a piece of cake. Thanks to their family’s resources, they can reach the Sector Lord Level as soon as they grow up.

However, advancing from the Sector Lord Level to the Eternal Level is like crossing an insurmountable chasm.

The Sacred Body can either be the solution, or the problem.

Having a Sacred Body, he could indeed cultivate faster than ordinary people; even maintaining the pace all the way to the Sector Lord Level without any bottleneck. But the final step is always the hardest.

In the past, they had to defy the heavens to be successful!

But during the Golden Age, it’s much simpler. Follow the ones with fortune, and as long as you can stay alive and fight your way out, breakthrough is inevitable!

And their physical constitutions are not just admirable before one reaches the Eternal Level.

In fact, after breaking through the bottleneck, they will display even more powerful characteristics, which is when their powerful constitutions truly come into play.

The Lone Prince could only curse under his breath, “Du Gang, come out quickly...”

Within the Secret Realm, the figure that had been rushing disappeared. At this moment, Du Gang was holding the Ancient Divine Spear, and mumbling unconsciously.

“Why does the power decrease when the speed increases??”

The crowd was instantly filled with disappointment, but Ren Wan’s next words revitalized them.

“However, as an Array Master, one of the rare grandmasters in the universe, I do have two quotas to bring people to the Pangu Continent...”

The people present brightened their eyes, all staring at Ren Wan with anticipation, hoping to be chosen.

Ren Wan smiled and said: “I have chosen someone for the first quota, Kong Tai who provided the most vital strategy and contributed the most...”

Suddenly, all eyes were on Kong Tai.

Kong Tai had an air of pride and satisfaction, joyously accepting the envy of the crowd.

Then, everyone’s gaze turned back to Ren Wan, looking forward to hearing him call their name next.

“But, for the second quota, I am quite torn. Each one of you is excellent and outstanding. I would love to take all of you, but unfortunately, rules are rules...”

The Sector Lord level powers beneath the stage, at this moment, were as expectant as a primary school student who just learned how to add, waiting to be called on by the teacher to answer the question.

Ren Wan was pleased with everyone’s attitude. He said, “This is what we’ll do.

Give me five more days to consider who is the best candidate.”

The crowd was taken aback. What did he mean?

However, those who were quick to react understood.

This was the time Ren Wan allocated for the crowd to bribe him!

Even Kong Tai had to admit at this point that Ren Wan was quite capable.

Having nearly four thousand Sector Lord level powers give him gifts, and precious ones that had been treasured for years, was truly impressive.

Anyone who wished to live a few more lifetimes, who wished to go to the Pangu Continent, would certainly strip their families bare to send Ren Wan gifts!

But the problem was, four thousand Sector Lord level powerhouses were all giving gifts, and yet only one person could be chosen.

But this was fair game. The idea was simple; the more you give, the higher your chances of being chosen.

As for if you didn’t get chosen, could you get your gift back... when the person is gone, who would you ask for it?

Even if you didn’t want to give gifts, you might be remembered scornfully. Whether it’s small inconveniences or other means of revenge, no one could withstand it when it came.

So, some people were already feeling nauseous inside. They had to give gifts, or else it would be seen as looking down on Ren Wan.

“Oh, everyone is here!”

Just then, a magnetic voice resonated, directly interrupting Ren Wan who was in high spirits boasting to the excited crowd.

Immediately, he glared unhappily at the source of the interruption, vowing to make whoever disturbed his flow pay the price!

But when he turned his head to look, he was taken aback because the person in front of him was a stranger who didn’t seem to be from around here.

Contrasting with the blushing faces and respectful expressions of the Sector Lords around him, the newcomer was dressed in bright red armor, carrying a golden spear, his eyes dead silent, as if looking at a bunch of corpses.

“An Ancient God?! ” “What’s he doing here?!”

“Wait, he’s out?!”

The venue was suddenly filled with cries of surprise.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

In an instant, all the Sector Lord—level powerhouses in the field reacted, surrounding him in the center and simultaneously unfolding almost four thousand World Domains to envelop him.

“Ancient God, I didn’t expect you to show up!”

“Perfect timing, kill him and end this once and for all...’

Everyone in the field has a passionate look on their faces.

In order to satisfy Master Ren, they left the alcohol in their bodies on purpose for today’s banquet, their faces flushed, even a little tipsy.

They did not consider how the Ancient God managed to escape or why he didn’t run away but came here instead.

All they’re thinking about is winning this final merit!

Indeed, compared to giving gifts, the merit of killing this Ancient God is far more important. Perhaps, their contribution in killing the Ancient God may earn them a ticket to the Pangu Continent!

In the crowd, Kong Tai, who was not far from Master Ren, had an unpleasant look on his face. He unobtrusively moved a few steps closer to Master Ren, almost hiding behind him.

Since he had already secured a quota, he didn’t need to pretend too much and got rid of most of the alcohol in his system. He was still sober.

He clearly felt a sense of killing intent and confidence radiating from the Ancient God.

Adding to this, his instinct told him that the Ancient God coming straight here after escaping might have a powerful technique capable of slaughtering all of them.

Of course, this was just speculation. It could also be that the Ancient God had a seizure or was not intelligent enough and had come to offer himself for execution.

As a member of the alliance, he could not run away at this moment, he could only try to get close to the Array Master Master Ren.

In his heart, if the Ancient God truly had a powerful technique, Master Ren was his only hope for survival!

“Transform!”

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

With a stern shout from the Ancient God, the whole banquet hall is blown apart, and everyone was caught off guard and tossed around by the gust from Du Gang’s leg hair.

However, before everyone could see how tall this giant was, a powerful gravity pinned more than four thousand Sector Lord-level beings to the spot.

“What’s happening? My World Domain seems to have stopped working!”

“I can’t move...”

Just as people started exclaiming, they saw a gigantic spear, large enough to overshadow the entire sky, plummeting towards them.

The humongous spear, at this moment, covered an area of several million square meters, crushing downward like a giant pancake.

Even the tip of the spear seemed to cover the entire horizon to them, as if the sky had fallen.

“Original Law!”

“It’s the Original Law!”

Suddenly, someone cried out in terror.

“Run!”

Although they were all Sector Lord-level powerhouses with World Laws at their disposal, they had heard of the Original Law.

This transcendent power, even if it’s just a tiny part of it, is enough to cause them devastating damage!

The entire hall was filled with panicked voices.

Everyone was exerting their World Domains, trying to restrict or slow down the lethal spear from above.

But it was of no use, their World Domains shattered to pieces wherever the spear went, torn apart within an instant.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

At this moment, no one wanted to wait for death. They all attacked the spear with their most powerful attacks, trying to save themselves.

However, Master Ren, among the crowd, didn’t show any signs of resistance.

Having just come from the Universe Center, he understood the power of the Original Law.

“Damn it!”

At this moment, he only muttered a curse before hastily producing a bunch of Arrays flags and a charm, activating them without a second thought.

Just as he was about to teleport away, Kong Tai, who’d been watching him from behind, clung onto Master Ren like an octopus with a whoosh, wrapping all his limbs tightly around him.

At this moment, survival was all that mattered, dignity be damned!

“Dammit!!”

Master Ren just shrugged his shoulder to shake him off but seeing it didn’t work, he didn’t hesitate and quickly activated the Array.

“Sizzle—”

“Zing! ”

Ancient Divine Spear, but even space itself is ripped open, creating a gaping gap.

“Escape! ”

Finally, Ren Wan, along with Kong Tai who was tightly clinging onto him, tore open space and managed to escape instantaneously from here at the very last moment before the spear fell.

“Ahh–!”

While they were fleeing, the entire banquet hall was filled with repeated screams of horror.

World projections appeared one after another, only to be pierced by the spear and crumbled into fragments.

With the collapse of these world projections, the Sector Lords standing beneath them also perished.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Within a second, more than four thousand explosions echoed throughout the hall.

All the Sector Lord level powerhouses were annihilated in a single blow by Du Gang at this moment!

Even the sea of blood that had just coagulated on the ground was completely evaporated by the flames caused by the intense friction of space when the lance fell, reaching a terrifying temperature.

Looking at the scene where, in an instant, from a noisy banquet hall, it had become a deserted ruin with not a single powerhouse left, Du Gang calmly said,

“This, is the wrath of the Ancient God!”

Saying this, he opened the communication channel with Kong Xu.

“Ancient God, where are you?”

Kong Xu was still caught in the stage where Du Gang was trapped.

Du Gang laughed, saying: “Area 8, they held a banquet, more than four thousand Sector Lords, all present...’

“Where are the people?”

Without realizing it, Kong Xu asked a question, then froze as he looked at the countless fragments scattered on the ground through the communication network, he had a certain guess.

“They’ve all been killed by me!”

Du Gang laughed, then regretfully said, “Unfortunately, that Array Master and Kong Tai escaped!”

“All dead?”

Kong Xu exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, all dead!”

Du Gang confirmed definitively.

Kong Xu, blessed with a strong capacity for acceptance, quickly accepted this reality.

After pondering for two seconds, he said, “Since they’re all dead, should I send someone over to loot their possessions for you?”

“Loot?!”

Du Gang’s eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded repeatedly, “Good, I’ll trouble Master Kong Xu then, I am willing to split fifty-fifty..

These families were too vast and it would be difficult for him alone to loot them all.

But it was different for Master Kong Xu, as the largest leader in this virtual universe, he could mobilize all the staff from the different divisions.

“Fifty-fifty?”

Master Kong Xu laughed, “That works too, then out of my fifty percent, I’ll take out ten percent to reward the employees down there...”

You must know that these families owned countless resources and each of the families occupied all the resources within a light-year range at the very least!

The number of resources that could be plundered would definitely be astronomical.

At this moment, Du Gang didn’t bother about the looting anymore. He alone was too weak. Even if he did it himself, he might not be able to loot all the resources of a single family in five days. Hence, he left it to Kong Xu. Whatever share he got in the end didn’t matter, because it was sure to be much more than what he could have gotten by himself! He now, has got in touch with the Pride Academy!

“Principal, I won!”

PS: I was busy yesterday and didn’t get a chance to ask for leave and I was a miner for half a day. I came back early in the morning, didn’t sleep, and rushed out this chapter. I’m going to sleep for three hours and will start writing as soon as I wake up, and will definitely make up for what I owed yesterday by around 12 tonight..
