The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1848: Chapter 1848: Relic Key

Several Slaughterers, knowing that the person in front of them was the one who killed the Devouring Sky Clan being Ju E, all became vigilant.

If Ju E were easy to kill, she would have died countless times long ago.

Even if there was an element of luck in him slaying Ju E, his own strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

In the Martial Arts World, strength is supreme. Strength commands respect and awe. If you are weak, no matter how courteous and respectful you are, others may not even glance at you.

”Interesting.” Void Son Die Dong stroked his radiant chin.

”Alright, I don’t want to waste more time. Now, I need to assess your strength; each of you will attack me once. Remember, show your true skills; otherwise, you may lose this task opportunity.”

As Die Dong spoke, he waved his arm, and a brilliance appeared around his body. Upon the brilliance, a profound power spread. Jing Yan and the other four Chaos Slayers immediately knew that this light screen was activated by a powerful defensive treasure.

”I’ll go first!” Five-Ring Slayer Quet stood up first and said.

The others had no intention of competing; after all, their opportunities were the same, and the order was insignificant.

The four of them, in turn, attacked Die Dong, who was protected by the energy released by the defensive treasure. Jing Yan, like the others, used part of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern’s power during his attack to ensure he got the task opportunity.

It must be said, Die Dong’s defensive treasure is incredibly strong. Even utilizing the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, Jing Yan couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense. Jing Yan believed that Die Dong’s defensive treasure could withstand multiple attacks from a strong person in the All Things Realm. Such a treasure is unimaginably valuable.

”Your name is Jing Yan? You’re in!” Die Dong put away the defensive treasure and pointed at Jing Yan.

But there seemed to be some other meaning in his eyes.

Hearing Die Dong’s words, Jing Yan nodded. Getting the task was within his expectations. With his strength, out of the five people in this room, only Die Dong was someone Jing Yan wasn’t confident about dealing with. The other three weren’t significant threats.

”And you, you’re in too.” Die Dong pointed at another Four-Ring Slayer.

”Thank you, thank you.” The Four-Ring Slayer’s eyes lit up and bowed to Die Dong.

”What do you mean? Am I eliminated?” Five-Ring Slayer Quet, seeing Die Dong had chosen two people without including him, questioned with grievance.

”Yes, you’re eliminated. I want the strongest two among you. Although you’re a Five-Ring Slayer, your strength is the weakest among the four. Even her strength is slightly greater than yours.” Die Dong pointed to the female Four-Ring Slayer.

”This can’t be!”

”How can my strength be inferior to theirs! You must have made a mistake! No, we need a further competition.” Quet seemed unwilling, being eliminated like this.

300,000 Slaughter Points, certainly enviable. Or perhaps, it’s also a matter of pride; being the highest-ranking Slayer among the four taking the task, being eliminated like this feels somewhat disgraceful.

”What?” Die Dong’s face turned cold, a chill emanating from him: ”Do you think I, Die Dong, Void Son of the Void Divine Hall, can’t discern your levels of strength?”

Die Dong’s words were like a thunderclap in Quet’s ears.

What?

Void Divine Hall? Void Son?

It’s normal for Quet and others not to recognize Die Dong, perhaps never having heard the name Die Dong. But they absolutely couldn’t be unaware of the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall. The significance of these four words is clear to almost everyone in the Endless Chaos.

After Die Dong’s statement, Quet immediately deflated, showing deep fear on his face.

Void Son! Those are dreadful figures.

”Void...Son, sir! I’m sorry, I... was being rash.” Quet apologized immediately, lowering his head, not wanting to die at the hands of a Void Son.

Angering a Void Son might lead to immediate death, even here within the Slaughter God Hall.

”Alright, you can leave now.” Die Dong seemed not to have the idea of killing today, waving his hand to let Quet and the female Four-Ring Slayer depart.

The two naturally dared not linger further and soon exited the room.

”This one’s name is Jing Yan, what’s yours?” Die Dong looked at the chosen Four-Ring Slayer.

”Void Son, sir, I’m Ye Hai.” Ye Hai responded.

”Interesting! You two are lucky to be chosen by me to complete this task. Remember, you don’t need to know much about the task. Just follow my instructions, and upon completion, you can collect the Slaughter Points. During the task, you may encounter some treasures and temptations. I’m warning you, if you dare seize what belongs to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Die Dong’s indifferent voice was full of threat.

”Rest assured, Void Son, sir, we certainly won’t act recklessly.” Ye Hai quickly stated.

”I know the rules.” Jing Yan also nodded.

”Good, follow me!” Die Dong said, then exited the room.

The three transformed into streams of light, flying toward the Void. Out beyond the Void, Die Dong stopped.

”Get a bit closer; now I’m going to use a treasure, and soon we’ll be teleported to a location.” Die Dong instructed them.

Jing Yan and Ye Hai complied. Then, Die Dong took out a white Order Token, upon which were intricate black Divine Patterns. Above his palm, mysterious auras emanated, clearly extraordinary.

As a wave of black ripples spread, the three were enveloped. The next moment, they vanished within the Void.

”This...” Jing Yan’s mind raced.

”Could we be going to some relic?” Jing Yan speculated.

Die Dong had used a token-like object to teleport them away. That token must be the Relic Key. In the Endless Chaos, there are some relics inaccessible by normal means. A portion of these relics have keys intentionally left by their creators, allowing fortunate individuals to be directly transmitted into the relic to seek treasure.

Jing Yan’s speculation was indeed correct. What Die Dong used was truly a key to an Ancient Relic.

The life who left behind this relic was a terrifying entity of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space. Such keys as Die Dong took out are said to total fourty-nine in all. Over countless years, some lives below the All Things Realm have had the fortune to enter this Ancient Relic through chance.
