Chapter 458
Chapter 458
The five great feudal vassals guarded five different areas. To expand the territory of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, they engaged in bloody fights every day, building and expanding the endless divine nation. They were considered the five great pillars of the divine nation.
Among the five great feudal vassals, Leona had the strongest force. Ranked the second was Alavid, followed by Rochester, and Carthew. Declan was placed the last among the five. His force was the weakest.
The ranking of the five great feudal vassals didn’t always stay the same. Depending on the land they could occupy, and the merits of their subordinates, their rankings would be classified transparently.
Leylin glanced at all these iconic characters and fell into contemplation.
Shortly, a ten-thousand-meters tall mountain range situated on an area over hundreds of miles wide appeared before him.
It looked like a savage beast crouched on the ground. The rough cliffs were as sharp as thick fangs. The aura bursting out of this area was intimidating and tyrannical. At first glance, it could shake people’s hearts.
Simple palaces built of blood-like rocks were present on the highest summit of this mountain range. The mountain was hollowed out with many pitch-black caves. Resentful, evil grunts, roars, and cries came out of those caves.
After Leona came here, the Dark Domain on her body moved slightly. Floating cells behind her rolled into those caves like black rubber balls.
Many warriors were waiting at the entrance of the caves to receive the prisoners from those cells.
She didn’t pay attention to those caves, just standing on the white bone war chariot while looking at the spacious square on the highest mountain. Some warriors were waiting there.
“Hahaha! Madame Leona, finally you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for so long.” An extraordinarily handsome middle-aged man in luxurious clothes stepped out of the group, laughing happily.
Leona didn’t move. She just nodded, driving the white bone war chariot towards the square.
“Ah!” That middle-aged man sighed. His eyes raked through four people standing behind Leona, asking skeptically. “Hey, it’s not correct. Your Bloody Legion has only three quotas. Why do you have one extra?”
This middle-aged man seemed to be one of the managers of the Extreme Purgatory Field. He understood the rules well, so he was astounded.
“He isn’t from my Bloody Legion.” Leona snorted, pointing at Leylin. “He’s Princess Zahira’s candidate. I met him on the way here, so I just gave him a lift.”
“Zahira?” The old man became more astounded. “Didn’t she choose Aagon from her internal meeting? How come they changed the participant all of a sudden? Weird.”
Not only was this middle-aged man surprised, most of the warriors here showed a bewildered face. All of a sudden, they all paid attention to Leylin.
“Aagon has a good Uncle. He doesn’t need to worry about having a quota for the Extreme Purgatory Field. Zahira spent her quota for another one to train the new elite force for the divine nation. What makes you surprised?” Leona was calm, raking through those people on the mountain while speaking coldly.
The middle-aged man beamed a faint smile and nodded. “As long as he has the Purgatory Token, he can join the Extreme Purgatory Field. It’s the rule. Whoever will join, I don’t actually care.”
“Lord Alavid hasn’t arrived yet, something along the way delayed him. We need to wait for him for several days more.” The middle-aged man explained softly.
“Alavid is making himself important, huh? He dares to make me wait for him!” Although the others didn’t say anything, Leona started to cause trouble with a cold face. Vicious hatred filled her dark green eyes.
Among this group, only she dared to scold him. It was because she was much stronger, and her bloody force was the mightiest force in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. Even though she wasn’t patient, no one dared to comment.
“Madame Leona, please calm down. He said that when he comes here, he will make it up for you,” The middle-aged man smiled dryly, continuing to explain.
“I want to see how he could make up for this.” Leona swung her arm, and couldn’t help but speak up. “I’m going to rest. When Alavid comes here, tell him to come and talk to me face to face. Harrumph! I have something to discuss with him anyway.”
Her eyes fell on Leylin, as if she had implied something.
Leylin shrugged, he didn’t really care about this issue. Even if Leona wanted to get revenge it was obvious that they didn’t have enough pieces of evidence.
They actually had nothing to prove that Aagon had done that.
Leona excused that she was tired after a long trip, bringing the three young warriors under her command and leaving arrogantly. They stayed in a palace on this mountain.
Leona stopped paying attention to Leylin. After they got into the palace, she intended to keep a distance from him, saying nothing.
Right after Leona had left, many warriors on the square started to scatter. Rochester, Carthew, and Declan brought their people and left to their own palaces.
Each of them had a private place on the mountains of this mountain range. They had shown up here to show their respects to Leona.
Not long after Carthew had left, on the way to his palace, he suddenly stopped, turning around and waving at Leylin. “Buddy, if you don’t mind, why don’t you come and drink with me?”
On this spacious, grand mountain range, warriors had all scattered, and no one had thrown Leylin an eye.
“Oh!” Leylin who was about to ask the middle aged manager for a temporary place of residence stopped midway and looked at him.
Carthew was a young, good-looking, and coltish man. His face was white, accompanied by a slender body.
He was also an Original God Realm expert. Among the five feudal vassals, he was titled ‘White-faced Bloody-handed.’ Besides Leona, he was the youngest among the feudal vassals, and also a great legend of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation.
He had earned fame and powers when he was still young, Carthew was born a humble kid on an ordinary life star.
At the first time he had received the power Upanishad in the Source of power Upanishad Inheritance, he had started to show his talents. Then, he enrolled in the military of the empire and started his life on the battlefields.
His performance was so dazzling, which helped him earn the glory of being a feudal vassal.
Carthew had the worst background among the five. However, he had used his own power to reach the peak little by little. Eventually, he became a strong feudal vassal.
Carthew just smiled tenderly, his visage mild and gently just like a teacher, who didn’t give the others any dangerous feelings. They would instinctively relax in front of him and get charmed by his gentle aura.
“Sure, why not. It’s my honor to share a few cups with someone like you, Lord Carthew.” Leylin immediately beamed a smile. He didn’t care how bad Carthew’s reputation was, walking directly with him.
“It’s okay,” Carthew laughed. He asked his retinue to leave, then walked Leylin to his private palace.
Although Carthew looked very refined and gentle but, in the eyes of the other forces outside the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, he was truly a demon.
He had swaggered for so many years in outer space, hunting down countless space pirates and marauders.
Countless corpses of space pirates had built his foundation, making him stand firmly in the divine nation.
There was an unwritten saying space pirates shared with each other that whoever could kill Carthew would immediately become the only leader of the space pirates.
However, until now, Carthew had still run amuck around outer space, chasing and killing space pirates.
Leylin followed Carthew and entered a beautiful, blue crystal palace. As soon as the man appeared, his maids came to receive him. Each of them was around twenty years old.
They all looked inviting, with exposing clothes. They had just a thin silky fabric sheet on their bodies. People could see their private areas from time to time.
The maids served them good wine and food. Inside the blue crystal palace, Carthew was sitting on his chairman’s seat, smiling warmly while raising his glass. “Come here, come here, drink with me, buddy. Don’t be too polite.”
“Of course of course.. ” Leylin laughed and sat down comfortably, his actions and attitude seemed as if Carthew and he were long lost friends.
Even Carthew was a bit taken aback by his easy going personality, “You are an interesting young fella.”
“I am not worth mentioning..”
Inside the blue crystal palace, beautiful maids moved around, serving them good food and wine. Carthew and Leylin 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 Leylin 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.
Carthew had a smile and drank intently. However, Leylin knows that he hasn’t called him just for a chat.
Leylin vividly remembered Carthew’s woman like phoenix eyes, which often glared at Leona with a strange gleam.
Leylin observed for a while and even he couldn’t help but feel weird. From the way Carthew looked at Leona, It looked like he liked her a lot.
Although Leona was a legend in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, with bloody, brutal deeds. She was a noble person though. However, her appearance…wasn’t any more beautiful than a wailing ghost.
Leylin didn’t had to think much because he could speculate what Carthew wanted to know.
Indeed, when they were in the middle of their drinks, Carthew lowered his glass, he laughed deliberately. “I have two things I can’t explain. I hope you can help me out.”
Leylin swirled the wine in his hand and answered without raising his head, “Oh, please do tell. I will help Lord Carthew with the best of my abilities.”
“That’s good,” Carthew didn’t mind Leylin action and was happy. “I heard that Bloody Slaughterer Kato 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 Zahira. I want to know what you and Bloody Slaughterer Kato had discussed back there?”
Leylin looked at him, wondering how he knew about this. Only Kato, Zahira, him and a few pirates under Kato leadership knew about his private talk with him.
“It seems Lord Carthew has eyes and ears in Land of God Punishment too.”
Carthew waved his hands, “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.”
“If Lord wants to know about this, I can only disappoint him today. My sincerest apologies.”
Carthew slightly squinted, as a flash of electric current appeared in his eyes. “Haha no need to be this way.”
“Alright, I won’t chase you about this stuff anymore. We should talk about another thing.”
“Please do.”
“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 turned serious.
“Well both me and Madam Leona fell victim to an evil scheme.”
“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. Madam Leona’s battleship was also under its range.”
“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?”
“Ghost knows… ”
Carthew suddenly quieted down, gazing at Leylin. He was bewildered for a while and then frowned.
“I didn’t hear about any damages to her battleship formation, how is that possible?”
“Well let’s just say we were both lucky and I had a way to deal with the situation. And since my actions also saved Madam Leona some trouble and my mode of transport was wrecked she gave me a small lift.”
“Returning favours so to speak.”
“I see… ” Carthew squinted his eyes trying to read Leylin and testify if there are any falsification to his statement. But deep down he knew, Leylin wasn’t lying. With so many witness if he lied he would be a very stupid man, it’s not worth flexing and offending a feudal Lord for no reason.
“I don’t know if it’s convenient but I also need to ask for a favor from Lord.”
“Oh.. Sure I’ll try to do my best.”
“I have a few friends who have been captured by Underworld League. I wanted to ask if you get someone make sure if they are alright or not.”
“Why not just save them?”
“Well my friends have low cultivation, a bit of adversity isn’t bad. They haven’t suffered much do this would mold their character nicely, I just want to make sure they don’t die meanwhile.”
“.. It seems you want to create your own force.”
“Hahaha no no, I am not so capable. I am just casually taking care of my people, I was going to ask Princess after she settled all her matters but since Lord Carthew have some connection to pirates, it would be more convenient.”
“Well yes, pirates are quite useful and capable people. For the right price they would do anything.”
“I’ll pay 10 Grade-7 Sacred weapons, each refined with the finest of skills. Pseudo Divine weapons.”
“That’s a heavy reward.”
“I’ll send someone to you later, you can give your requirements for the mission, the people you want to take care of as well as the reward to him.”
“You have my gratitude.”
Carthew shook his head waving his hand and continued to talk to Leylin about some trivial things.
After a while the more he talked with Leylin, more he liked him and in the end before leaving Carthew paused for a while and offered, “You can stay in my place till Alavid arrives, and the training of the Extreme Purgatory Field begins.”
“Thank you in advance, Sir.”
“Minor stuff.”
….
Afterwards Leylin then stayed in Carthew’s palace.
This palace had some different training rooms. Leylin didn’t care about the situation out there, as he entered the room and cultivated alone.
He would occasionally go out and cultivate and exercise in the training facilities, after some time Leylin even got the information of the Extreme Purgatory Field.
Now, he could understand its situation better.
The so-called Extreme Purgatory Field was the other half of the Purgatory Star. It was unknown why warriors staying deep in that area would have a better sense of heaven and earth power Upanishad.
From time to time, after a period, that Extreme Purgatory Field would generate a magical energy fluctuation from deep down underground.
That energy’s fluctuation would cover the entire area of the Extreme Purgatory Field. At that time, when the warriors got in there, their sensibility of the heaven and earth power Upanishad would be enhanced formidably.
Naturally, it was quite helpful for warriors to cultivate and break through there.
Whenever this time came, they would put the prisoners from around the Purgatory Star, ominous people, killers, and space pirates captured by the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, in the Extreme Purgatory Field, where they would become the prey of the contestants.
Making those prisoners their prey, the contestants would use their power Upanishad and comprehend their powers better. This area would facilitate their progress greatly.
Through hunting those villains, contestants had to battle continually to train their fighting skills. At the same time, they could have chances to understand power Upanishads. Usually, they could break through to the next realm under such circumstances.
Of course, there wasn’t an explicit division.
The divine nation had a rule that when the time was over, if the prisoners in the Extreme Purgatory Field could survive and get a Purgatory Token, no matter what crime they had committed, they would be exempted and gain a new life.
That was why participants would not stop hunting them. At the same time, those villains would try to kill the contestants to survive and earn a new life.
That made the Extreme Purgatory Field a bloody place. Every time, from the beginning until the end, countless people had to die. The survivors could be the contestants or their prey. The villains could have a chance to create a new life. The contestants could have the most precious battles for their advancement, and even rewards from the divine nation.
“Such a vicious and bloodly place..” Leylin licked his lips and killing intent blazed in his eyes, “If killing is the goal, then they shouldn’t blame me if I end up killing everyone!”
“Even if you want to blame me, you need to have the ability to extract revenge! Let’s have some fun, it’s been a while since I entered a bloodbath.”
