God of Slaughter

After the talk with Princess Zi Yao, Shi Yan returned to his amethyst cabin. He wasn’t assigned another task.

Servants would timely visit his cabin, bringing him good food. Since he didn’t need to worry about anything, he started to focus on his cultivation.

Prince Du Feng and Bergh’s team would show respect to him every time they saw him. No one dared to disdain him anymore. Some even tried their best to stay away from him a,s they were afraid that their vitality would be drawn if they stayed close to Shi Yan for a long time.

Shi Yan stayed in his cabin and cultivated wholeheartedly. Hence, he recovered in a short period of time. The wounds he got in the battle with Da Meng had disappeared, leaving no scratches at all. Under the magical effects of the Immortal Martial Spirit, his recovery ability was kind of morbid.

Since he got to know about the mysteries of his Death Upanishad, he started to cultivate and comprehend this power more. When he could create the God Domain using this power, it would be much more intimidating.

Shi Yan had also contacted the Ring Spirit of the Blood Vein Ring. He wanted to know the origin of his Death Upanishad. Unfortunately, the Ring Spirit had remained quiet after they escaped the First Demon Area. It had no longer sent Shi Yan any living energy fluctuation. It seemed the ring had used a lot of its energy, so it had to be dormant.

Shi Yan knew that the Ring Spirit would understand his situation. However, since it didn’t contact him, he could have no information.

The ring still had some magical barriers inside. After he had broken some barriers, he gained the Rampage, Death and Life Seal, and the technique to raise the Inner World Five Devils.

Shi Yan knew that hiding behind the barriers would be something magical and formidable. However, he had to reach a certain realm to break those barriers again.

It had been really long time since he had last attacked the barrier.

Today, as Shi Yan had reached the Second Sky of True God Realm, both his body and Essence Qi had extended to a level he had never dared to dream of.

However, he couldn’t break another barrier. After several failed attempts, Shi Yan stopped without gaining anything.

Vaguely, he thought that when he could level up to the King God Realm and have the God Body, he would be able break another barrier inside the ring to know what was hiding there.

The King God Realm seemed not far from him. However, From the Second Sky of True God Realm to the King God Realm, even if it were a warrior of the Raging Flame Star Area, it would take a lot of time.

Some people would need dozens or even several hundred years to break through.

Once they entered the True God Realm and created the soul sacrificial altar, their longevity would be extended greatly. If nothing unexpected happened, they could even live for several thousand years.

Compared to thousands of years, dozens of years or hundreds of years weren’t too long. Anyway, to a person who was used to breaking through quickly, this period... seemed to be infinitely long.

Shi Yan wasn’t the type of person who would wait in pain. After pondering for a while, he understood that he had to keep fighting continually to absorb the Essence Qi from other warriors through slaughtering and push up his progress.

All of a sudden, he desired to fight. He desired dangers and slaughter. He wanted chaos. He hated that the forces of the Raging Flame Star Area couldn’t rebel altogether.

To him, only wars could bring him miracles, making him thrive vigorously and gain a deeper knowledge of his powers and realm.

…

On the amethyst battleship…

Princess Zi Yao sat neatly on an ivory bone chair. She was looking at some place further in this vast starry universe. Her beautiful eyes flashed, and her face became more solemn.

Du Feng, Bergh, and some King God Realm warriors were standing behind her. They all had solemn expressions.

In front of them was a dazzling light sea. Numerous blinding beams came from countless flaming rocks, emitting a tremendous flaming energy. Each beam could pierce through and melt any object. Once they reached the amethyst battleship, it would be melted gradually.

Of course, there were still some gaps between those bunches of light. If they were careful enough, they could dodge them all.

This area was famous for its hazardous features in the Raging Flame Star Area. It was the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.

When the battleships of the forces crossed this area, they would always slow down to avoid the beams. They had to move and worm through the gaps between the lights to prevent getting shot.

Few people dared to fight in this area. Because, when they started a battle, they could hardly control the situation. If a King God Realm warrior got hit by the beams of light, his body would melt, and his soul would be burned into dust.

However, to many other people, that area hid some marvelous things to comprehend. Some warriors cultivating special power Upanishads would consider this place the holy land for their cultivation, where they could break through their realms.

”Sis, are we going to take this way?” Du Feng furrowed his brows tightly. ”Everyone knows it’s dangerous. Many people who don’t have a country or a faith stay there. They live only for themselves. They are all tyrannical, and hate all big forces. Once they find us and the materials we are carrying, I don’t think the name of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation is enough to scare them.”

Bergh also advised, ”Your Highness, should we change the route? Although we have to delay the journey, it will be much safer. If we want to cross this place, I’m not sure we can get out safely with our current force.”

”If we change the route, it will take a lot of time. And, I come here to visit someone.” Princess Zi Yao’s face was still bright as usual. She smiled all of a sudden. ”No need to worry too much. If we can meet him, we will get out of this place smoothly. I’ve spent a lot to get his whereabouts. I don’t want to give it up.”

”Who?” Du Feng asked, ”Why don’t I know him?”

”Harrumph!” Princess Zi Yao rolled her eyes at him. ”If you can behave and stop flirting around, Father will assign you important tasks. Too bad you don’t want to compete. You just want to wander around and have fun. You’re still at the First Sky of King God Realm. I can tell that if you still live like that, Da Meng will surpass you shortly.”

Du Feng stooped embarrassingly as she was teaching him. He didn’t dare to snap back.

”Father doesn’t have you as his only son,” Zi Yao considered for a while then softened her voice. ”You and I have the same Mother. That’s why I have to take care of you daily. If you weren’t my blood brother, I would never care about you.”

”Sis, I know you want the best for me. I’m totally wrong,” Du Feng lowered his head, answering in a low tone.

”Thus, you have to compete and gain the good things for your sister and mother. Don’t let the other suppress you.” Princess Zi Yao sighed. Thinking about the situation of the Divine Nation’s royal family, she couldn’t hide her worries. ”You shouldn’t mention things related to Shi Yan. Perhaps, his presence would grant you a great reputation in the future. If we can actually connect him and that man, we will gain big shortly.”

Bergh’s eyes brightened. He admiringly bowed to her. ”You have such a wide vision, your Highness. It is all for you, Prince Du Feng. Thanks to your sister here, you can avoid many problems.

Du Feng seemed to remember his mother. He said with watery eyes. ”I know you love me. Thank you, sister.”

”A visit to that man is also what our Father wants. If he favors us, it’s the best scenario for you and me,” Princess Zi Yao nodded, ”Thus, we can’t change the route. We must go in there. As long as we can meet him, it won’t waste our efforts of taking risks and the thousands of miles we have traveled to get here. If he favors you and me, even if we have to offer all those materials, it will be worth it.”

”Sis, who is he after all?” Du Feng’s eyes brightened.

”When our Father was young, he had befriended a man. It’s been years, and they haven’t contacted each other,” Princess Zi Yao pondered for a while and then carefully disclosed a part of what she knew. ”I heard that our Father had offered him the Imperial Preceptor position, but he denied. Our Father wasn’t angry. He still tried to maintain a good relationship with him on purpose. If we can ask him to create a closer relationship with the Nation, I think our Father will be joyful.”

Du Feng’s eyes lit up as he made up his mind. ”Alright, we should take risks this time. If we can get his approval, we can have a stronger assurance.”

”Your Highness, we admire your labor,” Bergh said respectfully.

”I have only one brother. Even if he can’t endure it, I have to plan everything for him.” Princess Zi Yao beamed a forced smile. ”The Empire has its own rules. The competition for the Crown Prince position is always brutal and merciless. Princes who fail won’t have a decent ending. Of course, I have to calculate everything beforehand.”

Du Feng stooped lower, his face touched.

…

In the area where lights were entangling with wild bursting energy emitting from countless burning meteorolites, almost one hundred strange war chariots were gathering in a corner.

Those chariots were all dark green and tiger shark-shaped, around ten meters long. They were decorated with exquisite drawings, shooting out sharp auras.

Sitting neatly on the biggest tiger shark chariot was a bulky man with a shiny bald head. He was a member of the Dark Spirit Clan. This man was wearing armor with numerous bloodstains. His aura was brutal and ferocious like a bloodthirsty beast.

”Are we all here?” He lifted his head, looking at the area where lights were entangling not far from them. His sight seemed to cross the blinding beams of light to a faraway place.

”Commander, we’re all here.” A young man of the Human Clan kneeled down, cracking a bright but cruel smile. ”We can take action at any minute.”

”Yeah,” The man nodded, talking with a husky tone. ”Remember, do not make mistakes. If we take action, we won’t let any fish escape our net, understand? They are the royal members of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. If it’s disclosed, we’re gonna have big troubles.”

”Commander, you’re so brave! You dare touch the royal members of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. In our place, only our Commander can have such guts. You aren’t afraid of the prowess of the Nation at all,” The young man tried to be more servile.

”If the price is high enough, we can always take risks out of desperation. If we have no way to run, we can retreat to the desolate Lonesome Dead Territory. After ten years or a hundred years, we can dodge the wind easily!” The leader grinned fiendishly. ”The payment we got this time isn’t only the materials the other’s carrying. Someone has priced a good deal for a guy. That’s what I want. It’s worth taking risks this time.”

”Someone has set a big price?” The young man of the Human Clan was amazed. Then, he probed cautiously. ”Who is that?”

”Muahaha, I can’t tell,” the commander laughed contentedly. ”I’d like to participate in people’s internal matters. It’s okay if they think we are just a piece of their chessboard. As long as they pay us adequately, I don’t feel humiliated being a chess piece.”

”How wise you are!”

”Muahahaha! Strolling in outer space, you can’t survive for a long time without a wide vision, buddy.”
