Chapter 771: Leaving alone
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Shi Yan didn't know that Leona had used him to make a big bet with Ao Gu Duo. Using an entire life star to bet was something rare even here.
After leaving the mountain range, Shi Yan turned into a bunch of light, flying rapidly towards the Extreme Purgatory Field as guided by his Purgatory Token. Yalan and Tie Mu followed behind him, gazing at his back with fear.
Soon, Yalan and Tie Mu had caught up with him with their Second Sky of King God Realm.
"Kid, are you crazy? Ao Gera is at the Second Sky of King God Realm. Even we aren't sure whether we can kill him or not. You've just reached the True God Realm." Tie Mu tilted his head, eyeing him strangely. "Even if you want to compete with him, you shouldn't make it so explicit, should you? It isn't different from asking Ao Gera to kill you in the Extreme Purgatory Field, is it?"
Shi Yan frowned, talking in a low tone. "I believe that I can make Ao Gera not be able to leave the Extreme Purgatory Field alive." He had his confidence after all.
"Taking Ao Gu Duo's head within one hundred years… You do have the guts!" Yalan appraised him, shaking her head disbelievingly. "No need to mention you, in the entire Dark Firmament Divine Nation, besides our King, I don't know who can say those words like you. Even Madame Leona doesn't have such confidence.
This was something Yalan just couldn't believe.
Ao Gu Duo was one of the five great feudal vassals. In the divine nation, he was just under one person, but above tens of thousands of people. His competence and the force under his command were extremely mighty. He had so many brutal subordinates as well.
Even if he could reach the same realm as Ao Gu Duo, without a crazily strong background, he shouldn't even dream of defeating Ao Gu Duo, let alone killing him.
Original God Realm experts had their own ways to protect themselves. In case they couldn't resist anymore, they could always escape easily.
Ao Gu Duo was a Second Sky of Original God Realm warrior. If someone wanted to kill him, he should be at least at the Third Sky of Original God Realm. Only having one rank higher could guarantee the desired result.
This whole vast divine nation had only one warrior at the Third Sky of Original God Realm, who was also the King of the country, King Du Tian Ji.
The number of experts who were at the Third Sky of Original God Realm cultivation base in the entire Raging Flame Star Area could be counted with one's fingers. Each of them was the tyrant of an area or the freaky hermits, about whom no one knew whether they were still alive or not.
Compared to such existences, Shi Yan at the True God Realm was just a tiny ant. The high sky in front of him still hid so many unknown dangers.
Saying that he could kill Ao Gu Duo within one hundred years wasn't arrogant. It was idiotic!
Thus, no matter how high Yalan had evaluated Shi Yan, she didn't think that he had any basis for his haughty words. She thought he was mad at Ao Gu Duo, so he spoke up idiotically.
Hearing Yalan, Tie Mu beamed a forced smile while shaking his head. Although he didn't mock the other, his attitude and countenance were saying that he totally agreed with Yalan. He didn't believe that Shi Yan could fulfill his pledge.
Shi Yan didn't explain further, just accelerating towards the Extreme Purgatory Field with cold eyes and a composed visage.
Groups of prisoners were driven by some unknown force and moved into the Extreme Purgatory Field. From time to time, a bunch of light darted by Shi Yan, Yalan, and Tie Mu. They all headed to a different side of the Extreme Purgatory Field.
The Extreme Purgatory Field was a vast place, situated on half of the Purgatory Star. Dangers hid in the mountains, lakes, and immense forests in this area.
Through Yalan and Tie Mu, Shi Yan got to know that highly authorized staff had created the barriers, formations, and restrictions in this area. They said that the Extreme Purgatory Field was a magical formation in itself, which had snatched the control of Nature. With the additional barriers and restrictions, it became the one of the most dangerous areas in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation.
Even without competition and the villains of the Raging Flame Star Area, warriors entering this area would encounter a lot of dangers. They had to be cautious about countering the manmade traps.
This area had so many terrifying places, which were much harsher than even the cold, dark outer space.
Anyway, the most dangerous place often hid the best fortunate encounters. The Extreme Purgatory Field was a place like that.
The Purgatory Token in his hand flashed suddenly as Shi Yan turned into a bunch of light, which was then dragged into an ash-gray halo instantly.
When his body appeared in that place, his soul altar was shaken hard. A light of surprise flashed in his eyes as he beamed a happy smile.
The rumor was true!
Staying in this place, Shi Yan didn't use any bit of his energy to comprehend the Star, Space, or Death and Life power Upanishads, but he still felt so sensitive to them.
The Extreme Purgatory Field seemed to have an invisible energy that couldn't be seen or sensed by naked eyes and soul. In this place circled by that miraculous energy, any warrior could gain a deeper understanding of his own power Upanishad.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Shi Yan instinctively let his soul sink into the power Upanishad tier in his soul altar. The three powers Upanishad rippled with miraculous energy fluctuations.
This kind of a fluctuation could resonate with some energy in the Extreme Purgatory Field. Shortly, his sensibility of Space, Star, Death and Life powers Upanishad was connected. He instantly felt like he was sinking in the center of the magnetic exploding space, where space power twisted wildly.
The Death and Life Intent Domain proactively overflowed without the soul to guide them. In this moment, he felt like he had gotten back to the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field, where he had used the Death and Life power Upanishad to heal Zi Yao.
Although he couldn't see the sun, moon, or stars in the gray sky of this area, his Star Martial Spirit was working miraculously.
Shi Yan concentrated on sensing more, sending his soul to the Star Martial Spirit. He felt like he was taking a trip to the immense starry sky, and, was sensitive enough to feel the trajectory of each star.
In this marvelous place, Shi Yan didn't think about anything else. He just closed his eyes and felt. He found that he could approach his power Upanishad endlessly. He could visualize the most mysterious changes of the heaven and earth. If he could quiet down and comprehend, the benefit it could bring to his realm would be immeasurable!
Swoosh Swoosh!
Two silhouettes landed next to him. Shi Yan turned around and found Yalan and Tie Mu.
Those two warriors under Carthew's command stood next to him and squinted, their faces passionate. Just like him, they closed their eyes and silently comprehended their powers.
"Such a magical place! The rumor's true. If we can cultivate here forever, our understanding of the realm would be formidably profound. Oh, I don't want to leave this place ever." Tie Mu laughed with a happy countenance. "Thank you, Master Carthew. He gave us his quotas. If I can survive this Extreme Purgatory Field, I think I will absolutely break through to the Third Sky of King God Realm."
"Good thought, anyway," Yalan snorted. "Don't you know that the Extreme Purgatory Field will open once every fifty years? Every time it opens, it lasts only for three years. Do you know how tremendous a quantity of materials we have to use to keep it open for three years?"
"Yeah?" Tie Mu looked like he didn't know anything.
Shi Yan was surprised. He stopped concentrating his mind, looking at Yalan seriously.
"I heard that the Extreme Purgatory Field's an incomparably magical formation. It could convert the power of Nature. However, it requires an enormous amount of energy and materials to maintain it. I heard that it needs at least ten thousand pieces of Divine Crystals for each year! And, they must be the medium quality pieces! Besides, it requires so many kinds of materials. Some of them are so rare that only the Land of God Punishment could have them."
Yalan paused for a while and then continued. "When our master came here, didn't you see that he brought a large number of materials? Where do you think they would ship them? I'm telling you, they will be consumed all in the Extreme Purgatory Field!"
Shi Yan was stunned on listening to her.
He immediately got why Leona's battleships carried a massive amount of materials. They must be used to maintain the Extreme Purgatory Field.
It consumed ten thousand Divine Crystals each year, along with so many other rare materials. To retain this magnificent formation for three years, how big should the amount of the required materials be?
No wonder why the quotas to enter the Extreme Purgatory Field were too little. Da Lei only had two, and a noble princess like Zi Yao only had one.
Suddenly, he felt grateful to Zi Yao for giving him a chance.
The quota he had was snatched from Ao Gera's hand. The value of a Purgatory Token perhaps was much more precious than an amethyst battleship!
"Shi Yan, do you want to go with us or leave alone?" After explaining to the two men, Yalan hesitated for a while and then asked. "Your realm is too low. Walking alone in this perilous place will be too risky. If you go with us, we can back up each other. At least, Ao Gera can't kill you shortly."
She actually meant good for him.
Tie Mu grinned. "Yeah, we should go together. Besides the experts from the other feudal vassals, those villains won't dare to trespass on us here. We can kill them slowly. What do you think?"
During the time in the gravitational field, Shi Yan and these two had talked and become familiar with each other. It seemed like Carthew had advised them to protect him for a while.
However, Shi Yan didn't appreciate their treatment. He just smiled and slightly bent his body. "I will keep your goodwill in my heart. But, I'm getting here to train myself. If I go with you, you will shield me from dangers, so I won't actually be able to train myself then. Yeah, we should part here. Don't worry about me. If I have the guts to get in the Extreme Purgatory Field, of course, I have means to protect myself."
"Are you sure?" Tie Mu was a little bit worried. "Ao Gera wants to kill you, and he isn't alone. The other two from Ao Gu Duo's team aren't good people either. When they go together, not many people dare to provoke them in the Extreme Purgatory Field."
"Do you believe in yourself that much?" Yalan snorted while frowning.
Shi Yan smiled and clasped his fist to greet them, then changed the direction, leaving alone. His figure flashed, then disappeared into the gap between two grand mountains. After a while, he disappeared completely from their sights.
