Chapter 505: The Competition Begins!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Dark Abyss Stairway, Wang Ye and the other two proceeded to the fourth prison.
The dark abyss harbored an astonishing number of dark race experts, engaged in perpetual combat.
Moreover, the terrifying devouring force emanating from the imprisoned devil deep within the dark abyss grew increasingly alarming!
It felt as though they had stepped into the creature’s gaping maw, with energy consumption particularly intense.
“Stomp!” Wang Ye was the first to touch down in the fourth prison.
Compared to the third prison, this place exuded superior energy and pressure.
A greenish-gray mist billowed, causing a maddening effect on the mind.
Wen Rou and Ji Mengni dispatched dark race experts and landed one after another.
Wang Ye accessed the world panel.
[Level 4: Nightmare Fog Prison.]
[Contestants: 7/60000]
[Time limit: 113.74]
Compared to the third level, there were four fewer participants.
However, it had taken nearly 20 cosmic days to traverse from the boundary of the third level to the central region, the dark abyss, and the Dark Abyss Stairway.
He glanced at the three missions of the Nightmare Fog Prison.
The difficulty was not low.
“What’s your take?” Wang Ye looked at the two women.
Ji Mengni’s pink lips parted slightly. “Four contestants arrived before us. There are at least two groups. To play it safe, I suggest we continue down to the fifth level.”
“You decide,” Wen Rou didn’t care.
Wang Ye nodded. “We still have some energy left in the Dark Abyss Stairway. We can at least descend below the seventh prison. Instead of relying on luck in competition, why not venture to the lower levels and rely on our strength?”
The deeper they went, the tougher it got, but the rewards would be greater.
Moreover, the number of participants would drastically decrease.
Navigating the Dark Abyss Stairway wasn’t easy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fist power exploded, and his body brimmed with origin power. He was no less formidable than the dark race experts!
In the Dark Abyss Stairway, where one couldn’t see their fingers, a ceaseless stream of dark race experts emerged, their attacks formidable!
Chi Xuan displayed no fear. His battle intent surged violently as he engaged in close combat with the dark race experts!
The fusion of fist intent, explosive attacks, and the unleashing of origin power dispatched the Undying Lifeforms!
Chi Xuan’s blood roared, and he resembled a grim reaper as he charged deeper into the Dark Abyss Stairway.
Chi Xuan had spent close to 50 cosmic days in this bottomless Abyss, which had devoured countless competitors and instilled fear in all who ventured there.
Other than killing, there was only killing!
Missions?
He didn’t care.
The Dark Abyss Stairway not only honed his fist technique and combat spirit but also enhanced his close combat prowess. Additionally, he earned a small amount of points for every dark race expert he vanquished.
Not much, but it was akin to the dark race experts’ ceaseless chatter!
It spared him the hassle of using his brain to complete some damned missions!
All he needed to do was fight and fight again!
Chi Xuan was born to fight!
The third level was the Heart-scooping Prison.
Boom!
Qing Xuan wielded the golden battle axe in his hand. The axe intent was unstoppable as he fought against the Undying Lifeforms of the dark race.
An absolute advantage!
The surroundings shook violently, and corpses littered the ground.
The dark race experts were densely packed like a huge army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qing Yu’s hands illuminated with the cosmic secret of an ability user, and the self-created Cosmic Energy Spell enveloped them, unleashing chaotic bombardments!
Thunder and lightning rained down from the void like thousands of arrows, enveloping the dark race experts!
At the same time, her body glowed with a colorful light. She kept moving around in space, dodging the attacks of the dark race beings.
The cooperation between them was flawless, and their tacit understanding was excellent.
It’s over.” Qing Xuan appeared behind the dark race’s Undying Lifeform, and his aura descended!
The three layers of cosmic secrets of the battle axe merged into one, and his battle strength instantly reached its peak.
Boom!
Fourth floor, Nightmare Fog Prison.
Qing Xuan and Qing Yu are ranked second and third.” Jiu Gedi looked at the leaderboard and said to Hui Zhi and Qifeng Zhenqing.
The three experts of the Weixin Eternal Nation had allied to advance and retreat together.
Although the first selection world had just begun, they were still a little confused.
However, they were all super-geniuses of the eternal nation. They quickly understood the rules of the points system and the purpose of the Infinite World of Slaughter.
Mission, battle, experience!
The Infinite World of Slaughter placed the most importance on actual combat.
They had to improve themselves through difficult missions!
Completing a unique mission together was the best way to obtain points.
The fourth prison, which required a high amount of willpower, was the best place for them to complete their missions.
It doesn’t matter. We’ll replace them soon.” Qifeng Zhenqing said with a smile.
“Great.” Hui Zhi put her palms together.
The fifth layer, the Slothful Prison.
A white-robed Xian Yuyan with black hair slashed out with her sword, causing the dark-race experts to fall one after another.
She was still alone.
She knew that working together was the fastest way to complete the mission.
However, someone as arrogant as her did not want to join forces with anyone.
No matter who her partner was.
She believed in her strength.
A rare genius of the Celestial Cloud Mosque, the future hope of the Yunzhou Eternal Nation.
She could complete any task independently.
“Teacher, I won’t let you down,” Xian Yuyan said, her calm face showing a flash of determination in her starry eyes.
Although she seemed calm and unaffected.
However, the loss in the first round had caused quite an impact on Xian Yuyan, who had never failed before.
In the second round, she wanted to prove herself again with absolute strength!
She, Xian Yuyan, would not lose to anyone.
[Level 7: Soul-rejecting Prison.]
[Contestant: 3/60000]
[Time limit: 102.55.]
Wang Ye looked at the world panel and smiled.
They finally found a deserted wasteland.
They didn’t expect that Black Silkworm Prison would only delay them for a short while.
In the ten cosmic days, they had competitors who were faster than them from the fourth level to the sixth level.
Although they could compete, there was no need.
From the sixth to the seventh prison, it took four cosmic days just to go down,” Ji Mengni, dressed in white muslin, said, looking charming.
“The main reason is that there are dark race Undying Lifeforms,” Wang Ye said. “The distance between each Hell’s Dark Abyss is deeper. In addition, the suction force at the bottom is more intense. It will take more time to get to the eighth prison.”
According to the ancient records, there are 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss, with nine levels and one threshold. We can only reach the ninth prison at most,” Ji Mengni’s crescent-moon-like eyes smiled, and she breathed like an orchid. “What do you say? Do you want to start a mission directly or go to the eighth prison to take a look and make a comparison?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary,” Wang Ye shook his head. “Going back and forth to the eighth prison will waste at least 10 cosmic days. The difficulty of the mission will only be higher. If other contestants enter the seventh prison during this period, the gains will not make up for the losses.”
“Kill them!” Wen Rou couldn’t hold back.
“We’re a team of three,” Wang Ye said. “We’re not inferior to any other team in any aspect. Plus, they have the time advantage. There are only two possibilities for the only mission on the seventh floor.”
“Or, the mission is too difficult, and we can’t complete it.”
“Or we can successfully take it down.”
“The possibility of other teams appearing and finishing before us is very small.”
Ji Mengni pursed her lips lightly. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. “I’ll do as you wish. However, I don’t have any clue about the only mission in the seventh prison at the moment.”
“I don’t have a clue either,” Wang Ye said. “Let’s do it first.”
“Alright.” The two girls replied.
[Difficult Mission: Obtain the Soul Restraining Stone. Points will be awarded according to the grade.]
[Nightmare Mission: Kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit. Points will be awarded according to your strength level.]
[Unique Mission: Let the souls of immortal human beings rest in peace. Points will be awarded according to the progress of the mission.]
While scrutinizing the mission details repeatedly, Wang Ye hurried along.
Having completed the mission in the Black Silkworm Prison, he already had some experience.
Although he had no clues about the unique mission, it was highly likely to be related to the difficult mission and the nightmare mission to some extent.
The Soul Restraining Stone should be a specialty of the Soul-rejecting Prison.
However, given the mission’s difficulty level as difficult, it was not easy to obtain.
It was almost as difficult to obtain as the parts of the Black Silkworm Armor from the Black Silkworm Prison.
As for killing the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, the mission’s level was even higher.
The Dark Soul Shadow Spirit was not only an Undying Lifeform being but also likely scarce in number or extremely challenging to kill.
Ten consecutive cosmic days passed.
Wang Ye and the other two individuals found nothing.
He had slain numerous experts of the dark race, including Undying Lifeform of the dark race, yet he had never encountered the so-called Dark Soul Shadow Spirit.
He was even unclear about what the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit looked like.
As for the Soul Restraining Stone, he had no idea what it was.
He had searched for all items resembling stones, but none matched the description.
The mission in the seventh prison had hit a roadblock.
But for now, he could only proceed cautiously, one step at a time.
“Two people have arrived.” Wang Ye observed the change in the number of participants on the seventh floor.
Anyone capable of reaching the seventh prison was undoubtedly not to be underestimated.
The competition had begun!
“Soul Restraining Stone?” Nong Bi smirked.
“Do you know where this ‘stone’ is?” Dongse Ziyu, clad in purple armor, asked her friend.
“Of course, I graduated from the Cosmic N0.1 Academy, unlike you, with nothing but muscles,” Nong Bi sneered. “The Soul Restraining Stone is not a stone. Its name can be misleading. Moreover, to kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, one must possess the Soul Restraining Stone. Otherwise, it’s impossible to kill it.”
“Say that again!” Dongse Ziyu’s eyebrows furrowed as he pressed his sword against Nong Bi’s neck.
“Back off.” Nong Bi flicked his hand, deflecting the sword. “But there are already three contestants ahead of us. Do you want to undertake this mission?”
“What do you think?” Dongse Ziyu frowned.
“Let me think…” Nong Bi crossed his arms, pondering. “With our strength, it’ll take about 7 to 8 cosmic days to reach the eighth prison. If there are more people in the eighth prison, we’ll have to proceed to the ninth…”
“We’re running out of time, and the missions are getting harder…”
Nong Bi paused, then looked at Dongse Ziyu. “Let’s tackle it in the seventh prison. Even if we can’t complete the unique mission, at least we’ll understand how to approach the difficult and nightmare missions. We can earn some points. Those who came before us might be just as clueless as you.”
Clang!
Dongse Ziyu’s eyes flashed coldly as his sword met Nong Bi’s neck, producing a sharp clang.
“Did I say anything wrong about you?” Nong Bi grinned and swiftly evaded. “You know I have a supreme-grade treasure to protect me, yet you thought you could harm me with scrap metal? No way, no way!”
You’re asking for it!” Dongse Ziyu’s eyebrows furrowed, and his sword intent grew stronger.
“Alright, alright, stop it!” Nong Bi dodged and said, “We have important matters to attend to. Let’s hurry up and set off.”
Chi! The sword light was sharp, and Dongse Ziyu was furious.
Ouch!” Nong Bi winced in pain and quickly retreated..
