God of Slaughter

Inside the blue crystal palace, beautiful maids moved around, serving them good food and wine. Carthew and Shi Yan were drinking unceasingly.

Carthew was a man who loved wine as much as his own life. He knew so many good wines like the back of his hand, explaining them to Shi Yan nonstop.

Which wine was purely good, which wine was burning like a passionate flame, etc... Different good wines needed to be stored in different containers and conditions. Also, he was telling how the method of drinking them was another interesting thing to learn.

Shi Yan wasn’t a sort of man who paid attention to details. He just nodded while putting up guard, as he didn’t know what this man wanted to ask him.

Carthew and Shi Yan had never been close. Today was the first day they had met each other. Generally, the other shouldn’t care about him that much.

However, in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, Shi Yan was just a stranger with no reputation.

Although he was a famous character, compared to the members of the five great feudal vassals like Carthew, he was nothing, and he wasn’t worth his special treatment.

Serving the other without a reason, if he weren’t deceitful, he would be surely a robber. In Shi Yan’s thoughts, Carthew should have some other intentions.

Indeed, when they were in the middle of their drinks, Carthew lowered his glass, his extraordinarily handsome face blushed like a beautiful woman. He laughed deliberately. ”I have two things I can’t explain. I hope you can help me out.”

Shi Yan straightened his back, his face serious. ”If I can explain, of course, I won’t conceal. For the good wine you’ve treated me, I will tell you everything I know.”

”That’s good,” Carthew was happy. ”I heard that Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo had talked to you in person when you were in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. Then, he disappeared from there. He has given up chasing after you and Zi Yao. I want to know what you and Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo had discussed back there?”

Shi Yan changed his visage while he shuddered inwardly.

”No need to be tense. I’m just curious. I don’t want to arrest you or interrogate you.” Carthew waved his hands, telling him to not to be surprised. ”With my position in the divine nation today, I have many relationships with the outer space pirates. Perhaps, you’ve heard about it. I’ve stepped on their corpses to reach this high position. That’s why I always have a special concern about those space pirates. Of course, I have many insiders in their organizations. Also, many pirates will sell me intelligence. They want me to stay away from their business. It’s normal that I know about you.”

Shi Yan could relax a little bit. He took a deep breath while frowning, his face severe. ”Sir, if you ask me something else, I will not conceal. However, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you about this.”

Carthew slightly squinted, as a flash of electric current appeared in his eyes. ”Alright, I won’t chase you about this stuff anymore. We should talk about another thing.”

”Please ask, Sir.”

”I understand Leona well. She isn’t the sort of people who will poke her nose into the other’s business. I don’t know why she let you get on her battleship.” Pausing for a while, Carthew’s face darkened. ”As far I’ve known, before Leona got here, one of her battleships was destroyed, and several hundred warriors had died. Would you tell me what had happened? Is it related to you?”

Shi Yan’s brows slammed together. Hesitating for a while, he said calmly. ”Madame Leona’s wrecked ship does relate to me.”

”Hmm? Please elaborate.”

”I departed from the Glorious Amethyst Star on an amethyst war chariot. When I passed by the Moon Star, an extreme explosion occurred. It seemed someone had installed a Dark Magnetic Deadly Explosion in my chariot. The energy explosion had smashed Leona’s battleship.”

”Dark Magnetic Deadly Explosion?”

Carthew discolored in fright. He slightly trembled and then continued. ”Only the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce can fabricate that toy. It’s so incredible. Even a small life star couldn’t withstand it. It would crush the life star to powder. If warriors under Original God Realm are dragged into the Dark Magnetic Deadly Explosion, both their God Bodies and soul altars would be ripped apart. If I were in that situation, I would be hurt badly. How did your amethyst war chariot have such a thing?”

”I don’t know,” Shi Yan beamed a forced smile.

Carthew suddenly quieted down, gazing at Shi Yan. He was bewildered for a while and then frowned. ”If that explosion was set for you, it’s a miracle that you could survive. I’m not amazed at the explosion. What surprises me a lot is that how could you survive?”

”Why do you say so?”

”Leona isn’t a merciful person. Or else, she couldn’t have her current attainments. I feel weird that even if you aren’t the main cause, her battleship exploded because of you. With her bad temper, she would skin you alive. How could you... stay alive until now? ”

”Hmm, I think you should ask Madame Leona. Even I don’t know why. I’m curious too.”

Carthew sank in his thought for a while and then smiled oddly. ”You haven’t explained either of my two questions fully.”

”Haha! Sir, do you think that you’re wasting a good party on me?” Shi Yan answered deliberately, his face calm and natural. He didn’t reveal a beam of fear.

Carthew shook his head. ”Drinking alone, even if you are drinking good wine, doesn’t taste good. Sharing is a good drinking virtue, you know?” Pausing for a while, he waved his hand, talking casually. ”You can stay in my place. When Ao Gu Duo arrives, the training of the Extreme Purgatory Field will begin. You have to join it right away. Although you didn’t help me out with my suspicions, I won’t be so mean to you. You can use my good wines here at will. No need to be too polite.”

”Thank you in advance, Sir.”

”Minor stuff.”

…

Shi Yan then stayed in Carthew’s palace.

This palace had some different training rooms, and it even had a one-hundred-times-heavier gravitational room. Shi Yan didn’t care about the situation out there, as he entered the room and cultivated alone.

At the Third Sky of True God Realm, the effect of normal gravity on him was too little. However, this one-hundred-times-heavier gravitational room was quite useful for him, although walking in this room was extremely hard.

His body had been trained to the acme, making it tougher than iron and heavier that rock at the same volume. In the gravitational room, the weight he had to bear would be increased accordingly.

This gravitational room had many rocks of different shapes. Those rocks had some small holes and concave areas, that warriors could use to lift them up. All of them were heavy. Some weren’t big, but their mass was formidable like a mountain.

Staying in the gravitational room, Shi Yan used those rocks to practice.

Sitting neatly on the stone ground, Shi Yan squinted. His body was soaked in sweat. Not long after that, he stood up robustly, thrusting his hands deep into the concave spots on the rock. He didn’t use the Essence Qi, just his physical strength to lift the rock and then dashing madly inside the gravitational room.

Not long afterward, he was exhausted. His body looked like it was congested. Veins bulged under his skin like worms, giving him a savage look.

Shi Yan wanted to check his limit. Those heavy rocks in the room were dozens of times heavier. Even though he had reached the Third Sky of True God Realm, moving them was a little difficult.

And that was how his potential power was stimulated. The energy hidden in his body would be pressed by the extreme gravity, making him shiver.

It was another time of insane training. Shi Yan had no sliver of power in his body by now, lying like soft pulp on the ground. He closed his eyes to feel the robust vitality in his blood and muscles, while thoughts traveled fast in his head. He suddenly got an idea.

He got up immediately, focusing and urging dozens of drops of Immortal blood in his body towards the left arm.

”Crack Crack Crack!”

The bones on his left arm resounded with a cracking sound. His body enlarged fiercely. Just like a dormant beast, an intimidating flow of energy expanded from him.

The Immortal Demon Blood replaced his blood in his left arm. An extreme pain struck him from the veins. His arm turned into a red hue, such that it looked like his blood was seeping through his pores. His arm felt like it was boiled. That bloody hue seemed quite frightening.

He dashed forward rumblingly. A flow of brutal energy expanded from his arm, just like a savage beast struggling to get out of an abyss.

He lifted a dark golden rock on the ground using the fierce energy on his arm. A flow of scarlet light emitted from his body, generating a savage and furious power.

Shi Yan was cheered up. Joy filled his heart as he laughed crazily.

This dark gold rock was a relatively big one in this chamber. It was the Extinct Gold Stone, a particular stone in the Raging Flame Star Area which was hundreds of times heavier than normal rock.

The weight of the rock in his hand could be compared to a thousand-meters-tall mountain!

And, inside this gravitational room, the weight of this big chunk was increased dozens of times!

It was almost impossible for a King God Realm warrior to lift this rock. When one reached the Third Sky of King God Realm, perhaps they might be able to try.

Shi Yan had tried to lift this rock using only his physical power. However, after several attempts, he couldn’t move it even an inch.

However, today, when he used the Immortal Demon Blood to fill his left hand, the bursting energy of it had helped him lift up the hefty rock. Such exploding power had frightened him as well.

After that moment, Shi Yan had a deeper understanding of the blood exchange Bao Ao and Jie Ji had mentioned.

If he could replace blood in his body with the Immortal Demon Blood, how tremendous could his body’s bursting power be?

Shi Yan didn’t even dare to imagine that.

Boom!

The big rock fell on the extremely rigid ground. On the spot where the rock fell, the ground was suddenly cracked and shattered. Cracks that naked eyes could see extended from under the rock.

Those cracks extended continually. Explosion resounded from the big rock as chips shot out everywhere like the sharpest blades.

”Oh f*ck!”

A forthright voice came from the door of the gravitational room. A taut man who had the Purgatory Token on his waist came in. Flows of light emitted from his hands, crushing those chips, his face strange.

A delicate woman walked next to him. She coldly looked at Shi Yan, who was exhausted, sitting by the big rock.

She also had a Purgatory Token on her small waist.

These two were Carthew’s subordinates, the famous warriors that would join the Extreme Purgatory Field.
