The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1846: Chapter 1846: Mission Reward

From the peak of the Earth Realm to the Dao Skill Realm, it’s a transition from a Third-rank Supreme to a High-level Supreme.

It seems only a step away, but taking that step is truly not easy. Even for Jing Yan, it is very difficult.

”If the Divine Soul Body could be stronger, the breakthrough would be relatively easier.” Jing Yan was also helpless.

Jing Yan previously inquired with Senior Brother He Jiu.

So he knows that within this Slaughter God Temple, there are indeed reserves of Divine Soul Energy of the Devouring Sky Clan, but the quantity is extremely scarce, and mainly consists of lower-level Divine Soul Energy. However, even the lowest-level Divine Soul Energy requires more than a hundred thousand points of slaughter points to exchange.

Jing Yan has about a thousand points of slaughter points on him, a far cry from one hundred thousand points, making it impossible for him to exchange the Divine Soul Energy of the Devouring Sky Clan.

On this day.

The King of Laning Country, Yuan Qi, flew out of his palace with a solemn expression, standing outside like he was waiting for the arrival of an important figure.

King Yuan Qi didn’t wait long before a figure rapidly flew over from the distant horizon.

This was a martial artist who appeared quite young, dressed in a white long robe, handsome in appearance. Only the cold glint occasionally flashing in his eyes made one shiver all over.

”King Yuan Qi?” The young martial artist, upon seeing Yuan Qi, spoke out.

”Indeed! Are you the Void Son Die Dong, Daoist?” Yuan Qi also spoke.

King Yuan Qi had not met Die Dong before; this was their first meeting.

”Yes, I am Die Dong.” Die Dong nodded slightly.

”Daoist Die Dong, please!” King Yuan Qi gestured invitingly.

”No need, time is pressing, let’s not delay. The matter I entrusted you with, King Yuan Qi, is it ready?” Die Dong directly asked King Yuan Qi.

”Everything is arranged. The lives undertaking this task are the strongest in the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm within the territory of Laning Country,” Yuan Qi said.

Die Dong scoffed, ”A mere Laning Country, how outstanding can its Fifth-step Dao Method Realm beings be? But this incident happened suddenly, I didn’t have more time to prepare, so I must make do with the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm beings of Laning Country.”

Listening to Die Dong’s words, King Yuan Qi could only remain silent.

No other choice.

Die Dong’s words, though unpleasant, were also true. In the Endless Chaos, Laning Country is just an ordinary Chaos Country. The Fifth-step Dao Method Realm of such a small country indeed falls far short compared to the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall. The Void Sons of the Void Divine Hall are selected after layers of combat and struggle, being the most talented among the entire Endless Chaos.

Even the Die Dong before him had killed beings of the All Things Realm. King Yuan Qi had no absolute confidence in defeating Die Dong.

”Alright! King Yuan Qi, lead me to the Slaughter God Temple,” Die Dong continued.

”Very well! Daoist Die Dong, please follow me,” Yuan Qi responded.

The two flew towards the Slaughter God Temple.

He Jiu, as the Area Main Hall Master of the Slaughter God Temple in Laning Country, did not meet Die Dong when King Yuan Qi brought him to the temple. King Yuan Qi feared Die Dong’s retaliation, but He Jiu did not.

The Void Divine Hall is an Ultimate Force, and so is the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Naturally, He Jiu would not bow to Die Dong, the Void Son, even if the Void Son holds a very special status in the Void Divine Hall.

Precisely because of this, Die Dong initially didn’t directly seek He Jiu for help. If he approached He Jiu, He Jiu might not even respond to him.

Among the five Ultimate Forces, the relationship between the Void Divine Hall and the Hongjun Heavenly Palace is not good, even somewhat tense. Seeking help from He Jiu might result in self-disgrace for Die Dong.

After Yuan Qi and Die Dong arrived at the Slaughter God Temple, a message was transmitted to Jing Yan’s task token.

”The task is about to start?” Jing Yan, who was training, opened his eyes.

A glint briefly flashed within his eyes before he quickly stood up and walked out.

The staff of the Slaughter God Temple led Jing Yan to a task preparation room to wait.

The process of starting the task was similar to when he first completed a slaughter task.

Jing Yan had already received the information that for this Five-Ring Slaughter Task, including himself, there were a total of four participants.

Among these four, except for Jing Yan, the other three were all at the level of the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm. Within the territory of Laning Country, these three Fifth-step Dao Method Realm beings were well-known figures. In the Dao Method Realm, their combat power was at the top level. An ordinary Fifth-step Dao Method Realm could not withstand several full-force attacks from them.

Since Jing Yan lived in the inner hall of the Slaughter God Temple, he was the first to enter the room. However, it wasn’t long before, not even a tea’s time, the other three gradually entered. Among these three, two were male, and one was female. Among the three, one was already a Five-Ring Slayer, with five striking silver rings interwoven on his chest.

The other two were, like Jing Yan, Four-Ring Slayers.

After all four participants for the Five-Ring Slaughter Task gathered, Die Dong also entered the room under the guidance of the staff. Upon entering, his gaze swept over the four of them.

”Are you the four who accepted my Five-Ring Slaughter Task?” Die Dong asked.

”You were the one who issued this task?” The Five-Ring Slayer looked at Die Dong and asked.

Evidently, he did not know who Die Dong was. The task information did not mention Die Dong’s identity. If he had known Die Dong was the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall, he likely would not have spoken in that tone.

In fact, among the four who accepted the task, only Jing Yan knew Die Dong’s background. The other three might have been in contact with King Yuan Qi beforehand, but none mentioned Die Dong’s true identity. King Yuan Qi explained in detail to Jing Yan because Jing Yan also had a special status, as King Yuan Qi believed he was a disciple on a journey from the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

”Indeed, this Five-Ring Slaughter Task was issued by me,” Die Dong nodded.

”The task information is very sparse, neither the task content nor the rewards are specified. May I ask, for this Five-Ring Task, roughly how many slaughter points is the total reward?” that Five-Ring Slayer asked.

The others also looked at Die Dong. Clearly, everyone was concerned about this question. Even Jing Yan was very interested in how many slaughter points he could earn upon completing the task.

”The reward is three hundred thousand slaughter points. However, I only need two people. Since you four have accepted this slaughter task, I will select two from among you,” Die Dong said with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

Three hundred thousand slaughter points!

Upon hearing this number, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed.
