Chapter 68: Endless Slaughter
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
An endless sea of flowers!
On the Heavenly Ascension Steps, Qi Yuan held his sword, integrating all of Zanghua's insights into himself.
In an instant, thousands of terrifying blood-red armored men, each ten meters tall, appeared on the entire arena.
Thousands of towering Qi Yuan figures, all holding swords, focused their gazes on a single enemy on the arena.
It was a 0.5-meter-high giant beetle, a mutant species among beetles, its size tens of times larger than ordinary beetles.
At this moment, it looked at the towering shadows all around, question marks floating above its head.
Qi Yuan pointed his sword at the giant beetle: "As the saying goes, shoot the bird that sticks out. Who told you not to keep a low profile, growing into such a big dumb thing? You must be the blue giant of the beetle clan!"
If the 0.5-meter-tall giant beetle could speak, it would definitely say, "You're ten meters tall, calling me a big dumb thing at 0.5 meters?"
Kill.
With the boost from the endless sea of flowers, the swords of the thousands of Qi Yuan figures converged on a single point, stabbing at the giant beetle.
The giant beetle died.
According to forensic examination, its body was full of holes, not a piece of intact flesh could be found.
After killing, Qi Yuan took a deep breath.
"My understanding of Zanghua has deepened once again."
Today, he had fought over a hundred battles, constantly comprehending Zanghua's combat techniques and cultivation experiences.
"Now, I can shamelessly say, no one understands Zanghua better than I do."
"Continue, next match!"
Dragging his massive body, Qi Yuan prepared to step into the next battle.
Now, he had already reached level 97, his strength reaching a staggering degree.
"Longpan is only level 99, the peak of the Divine Domain.
Then is level 100 a new realm?
But... is the Divine Domain really only from level 90 to 100?
That's too short, isn't it?
Moreover, when I merge with Xiao Jia, I can display the power of level 102, but I don't feel... that kind of major breakthrough in the realm."
While continuously fighting on the Ascension Platform, as his level increased, Qi Yuan discovered many issues.
The Heavenly Domain ranges from level 70 to 89.
The Divine Domain, is it really only from level 90 to 99?
When stepping from level 89 to 90, Qi Yuan clearly felt a qualitative change in his strength.
However, when wearing Xiao Jia, forcibly breaking through to level 100, that surge in strength didn't feel very intense.
"Could it be that Tong, Longpan, and Yu are not truly the peaks of the Divine Domain?" Qi Yuan suddenly had a terrifying suspicion.
But if they are not the peak of the Divine Domain, why do they think they are?
Is it possible that a supreme being altered their cognition?
Or... is someone restricting their breakthroughs?
This feels like a person at the fifth level of Qi Refinement being forcibly altered to believe that the fifth level is the peak, and then starting to build a foundation someday.
If so, what awaits him might be death.
Thinking this way, Qi Yuan felt that this game world might have a bigger boss.
He couldn't help but look towards the Ascension Platform and the densely packed seats above it.
"Who used to watch the battles here?"
"The enemies I'm encountering now are already at level 80. How strong were the strongest fighters on the Ascension Platform?"
Qi Yuan finally put these thoughts aside.
The battle continued, and he resumed killing to gain experience.
...
In the Five Elements Prohibition.
Longpan stood up, gazing at the sky, looking at an ancient Qichun tree, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and it has grown so large."
Yu also looked up at Longpan: "The seed of the ancient Qichun tree, you obtained it from the forbidden land of the Five Elements and offered it to the gods.
Perhaps this seed has absorbed all of the Princess of the Wedding Gown's obsessions to grow this large?"
Ten thousand years ago, the gods were defeated, and the extraterrestrial demons ravaged the human world.
Their comrades died or were injured, and only they retreated into the forbidden land, relying on it to temporarily evade the extraterrestrial demons.
Yu excelled at divination and predicted that the day of the lunar eclipse would be the moment when the extraterrestrial demons were at their weakest.
This led to the demon-slaying event three hundred years later.
"It's a pity that the Four Great Forbidden Lands and the Two Great Deadlands are ancient and mysterious. Even after staying in the forbidden land of the Five Elements for so long, and even though the Five Patriarchs are considered the controllers of the forbidden land, we couldn't discover its true secrets," Longpan lamented.
"The leader of the Clothing Division should have gone to the mortal realm?" Yu asked.
The mortal realm refers to places other than the Four Great Forbidden Lands and the Two Great Deadlands.
"Our insights and experiences must be honed either through battles or by venturing into the mortal world," Longpan said. "Although Zanghua has a foul mouth, her intentions are well-meaning."
They knew that Zanghua's battle with the leader of the Clothing Division was to help the leader digest insights and experiences.
