Chapter 416

To think… the gains were negligible.

If that were the case, then so be it—he wouldn't really mind.

The most important thing is…

That guy actually also possessed an Eternal Token, and was even a contestant of the Eternal Arena!

Now, he has already been marked by the Eternal Domain; as soon as he enters the Eternal Arena, he will be sanctioned by the Eternal Domain and forced to take part in some damn Punishment Trial.

"How did that guy hide the aura of the Eternal Token?"

Luo Chenyu was very regretful.

Regretful that, to save a little spiritual power, he had not used the Eye of Insight to check that guy's attributes.

"Forget it, I'll ask Boss Man God in a bit and hear his opinion."

He wasn't clear on the difficulty of the Punishment Trial.

However…

Every contestant of the Eternal Arena was very wary of killing someone who possessed an Eternal Token.

Apart from deathmatches, this Punishment Trial was probably the reason.

"But, how could that guy's soul defense be so weak?"

Recalling that fifty-times Spirit Blade strike from earlier, Luo Chenyu had not expected to instantly kill the target—he had only wanted to attack his soul, making him lose or reduce his ability to command the divine beast.

But he hadn't expected…

To kill him outright!

He looked very strong on the surface, but was actually all flash and no substance—good-looking but useless.

Yet, feeling the pain transmitted from within his mind, and his exhausted spiritual power, he couldn't help but adopt a hesitant attitude toward the use of the Spirit Blade.

Fierce it was, but the aftereffects were quite severe!

………………

A certain country in the West.

Inside a luxurious manor, four figures—three men and one woman—sat together.

Red wine swirled, delicacies paired alongside.

"That guy Erzhen is too useless; not a single thing has gone right these past few days. Next time I see him, I'll definitely make him pay."

"Hehehe… I'm afraid there won't be a next time!"

A Western beauty in a pure white gown covered her mouth and laughed lightly: "His little scheme was nothing more than reviving that Eight-Headed Divine Serpent. If he failed, he'd die; if he succeeded, he'd still be devoured by the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent…"

"Reviving the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent is no simple matter."

"Honestly, I still hope he succeeds—otherwise this world would be far too dull."

"Hahahaha… worthy of Mr. Aishide, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. Let's drink, let's drink!"

Just at this moment.

The beauty suddenly froze, the smile on her face vanishing.

"Erzhen is dead, the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent is sealed, and it will probably be taken back to the Xuanlong Nation by the Man God. The root cause of all this, supposedly, is that unexpected person from the Xuanlong Nation—Luo Chenyu!"

"What!!"

"Things have gotten tricky. Although Erzhen is useless, without him the plans in the East will have to be shelved. If the Hall Master returns, I'm afraid…"

"The most important thing is that Erzhen possessed an Eternal Token. If it were obtained by Luo Chenyu and he joined the Eternal Arena, limiting him in the future would be very difficult."

"What a pity… why on earth did the Hall Master back then choose that useless Erzhen, letting him become a contestant of the Eternal Arena?"

"Because Erzhen was also from the Xuanlong Nation!"

"Speak carefully!!"

"Now here's the problem: we can't go to the Xuanlong Nation, so how can we find a way to eliminate this unexpected variable, Luo Chenyu?"

"Hehe… if I haven't guessed wrong, next he will definitely go to the Divine Battlefield; we can end everything there!"

"Good, I'll go get a spot!!"

………………

A certain unknown small island in the Endless Sea.

Yet at this moment it was extraordinarily lively, with many powerful experts gathered.

These people were all contestants participating in the University World League, along with the powerful experts accompanying their teams.

Luo Chenyu was also among them.

At this moment, he was surrounded like a moon embraced by stars, countless praises enveloping him.

Get cocky?

There was no way he could get cocky.

At this moment, all he felt was boundless pressure.

From the Man God's words, he learned that the Punishment Trial of the Eternal Domain was extremely difficult—one could say only one in ten survived, or it was a hair's breadth from death.

At this moment.

Ed walked out from the crowd, came to Luo Chenyu's side, and said softly: "Hero Luo, may I have a word with you in private?"

The corner of Luo Chenyu's mouth lifted slightly. "I'm very interested!"

He very much wanted to know the relationship between Ed and the Necromancer God·Andre.

He also very much wanted to know the whereabouts of the Necromancer God·Andre.

Killing a deity…

Really felt amazing!!

The two came to the side of the beach, looking at the boundless sea reflecting the bright moon.

Aider fell silent for a moment, then said, "I took a fortuitous quest from the Necromantic God of Law — I have to take the God-Imprisoning Key from your hands in exchange for a forbidden class!"

"Heh, another fortuitous quest?"

Luo Chenyu curled his lip in disdain and said, "That guy's words are nine times out of ten fake!"

"Perhaps I only see it clearly now!"

Everything he had experienced before left Aider deeply moved.

The old him had been selfish, willing to use any means to reach his goals, and wouldn't have cared even about killing.

But…

Now, seeing the powerhouses who fought with everything they had to protect them — and Luo Chenyu, the one man who could hold a pass against ten thousand, who had willingly degenerated into a god of slaughter.

His heart was transforming.

Solipsism wasn't wrong, but some things couldn't be solved by individual strength alone.

And besides…

The gods and the 【Pantheon】 were all birds of a feather — not worth trusting.

Now that the matter was past, it was time for him to deal with that fortuitous quest.

The quest had no explicit punishment, but the Necromantic God of Law, Andre, hung over his head like a sword — no one knew when it would fall.

"So, please, help me!"

Luo Chenyu thought for a moment, then asked, "How?"

"Kill him. He's hiding inside a four-turn dungeon right now — even demigods can't get in… so I could only come to you!"

Aider said earnestly, "Only you have a chance to kill a sealed deity at the four-turn stage."

Flattering Luo Chenyu?

No!

That was genuinely what Aider felt — Luo Chenyu's strength exceeded anything he could imagine.

Earlier, he had heard his own family's demigod say that Luo Chenyu already possessed the ability to slay a demigod — it was simply astonishing, like a miracle!

A demigod!!

A being who had transcended humanity.

And yet someone had dared to strike upward and cut one down!

Luo Chenyu thought it over — he was already very close to the four-turn threshold; in just a few more days, he could do it.

Because…

Two days later, they were about to enter the 【God-War Land】 to explore — a Secret Realm that made countless people green with envy; the rewards were bound to be excellent, right?!!

"Fine. After the 【God-War Land】, I'll go with you!"

"Then thank you, Hero Luo. If it succeeds, you'll be richly rewarded!"
