Chapter 2295

It took over half an hour to organize the 78 squads.

Xiao Feng and the Utterly Dark Blade Edge. Also possibly "the two strongest participants", which is not a name.

Among the others, there were also many transcendent peak powerhouses, making them relatively safer.

The most pitiable are those with intermediate transcendent-life forms; their squads are too weak, and if they encounter danger, they could be wiped out instantly.

This way of forming teams is somewhat unfair.

Dao Ancestors

Seeing that everyone had already formed teams, the Slaughter Sovereign continued: "Soon I will bring you to the Infinite Continent. You will be scattered; the stronger the team, the more dangerous the landing place. The somewhat weaker will be sent to relatively safer places to give you time to adapt."

Upon hearing this, those whose strength was somewhat lacking immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the Slaughter Sovereign continued: "You have no weapons, no supplies; everything must rely on yourselves. For the first ten years, you are not allowed to use leave opportunities—make the best of it. Now… set out!"

Having spoken, he flicked his sleeve, and the metallic-feeling battle attire rustled loudly.

A divine power lifted everyone up, grouping them into blocks of sixteen each, and they flew upward together with him.

Xiao Feng et al., the Slaughter Lord, Battle-Hardened City, and the Boundless Continent

No.

Xiao Feng understood clearly that, since the jade talisman could save lives, there must be at least ten Eternal-level powerhouses hidden where he couldn't see.

No.

If a place simultaneously had people calling for help, even if the Slaughter Sovereign had many avatars, he would be unable to attend to them.

No.

The Slaughter Sovereign led the crowd swiftly through the atmosphere, arriving in Xing Kong.

Then, in Xing Kong, they sped forward, flying toward a distant area of chaotic dust, disordered and without pattern.

"Senior, what place is this? Why is Xing Kong so dirty and chaotic?" Xiao Feng asked.

The Slaughter Sovereign explained: "This place was originally a nascent star system, a new world spawned during the evolution of the material universe's growth era. But due to various reasons of war, it was forced to stop developing, becoming the disordered state it is now."

"Is the Infinite Continent within this deformed star system?" Xiao Feng asked again.

The Slaughter Sovereign shook his head: "No, the Infinite Continent is on another plane. After this star system ceased growing, immense cosmic energy began to mutate, opening up a brand-new space in the void fissures, forming the Infinite Continent world. The energy of almost an entire major star system gathered solely into the Infinite Continent, causing the former Infinite Continent to be filled everywhere with precious cosmic energy crystals."

"Ah, I understand—it's like a tree that grew crooked and kept growing, becoming a twisted-neck tree!" Li Li said.

The Slaughter Sovereign shook his head: "Wrong, the Infinite Continent is not a twisted-neck tree; it is a thief of the universe, exploiting the star system's mutation to steal the main universe's energy. In our previous two-clan war, it seemed to be a fight over energy crystals, but in fact we were carrying out the main universe's will, reclaiming losses. The Infinite Continent has many powerhouses, yet they dare not come to the main universe, for once the main universe discovers these thieves..."

The children raised by these thieves will be issued kill orders against nearby powerhouses, leaving them nowhere to escape.

No.

Li Li exclaimed in astonishment, and everyone hearing the explanation felt it was utterly unbelievable.

Thus, the Infinite Continent should not have existed; if the star system's birth failed, cosmic energy ought to have collapsed and reshaped, evolving the failed star system into another celestial body.

This microcosm of the Infinite Continent has stolen the main universe's energy; although the main universe lacks substantive means to destroy it, it can use the Cosmic Will to influence sentient beings, strangling the life of the thief universe.

Now that the war has ended, it shows that the cosmic energy has basically been brought back; the remainder is no longer important to the main universe, and they can't be bothered to manage it.

Yet the amounts of energy the main universe disdains are still truly terrifying, enough to nurture many controllers, even giving birth to Eternal-level beings.

They are filled with hatred toward humanity and the aquatic race, a hatred that cannot be dispelled even after millions of years; after entering this time, the danger level can be imagined.

No.

Not long after, the crowd followed the Slaughter Sovereign to a rotating spatial passageway.

This spatial passageway is huge, with a diameter of several hundred meters, yet it is utterly silent, with no ripples appearing, as if no one had activated and entered it for countless years.

The Slaughter Sovereign exerted a strand of power, causing the vortex to spin a bit faster.

"Go in; I have already used my will to link the other end of the void passageway, and it will send you to suitable places." He said to the crowd.

Entering this void passageway marks the formal start of the tempering; there is no master accompanying, no chance of revival, and within ten years even—

You cannot take leave; if you die, you truly die, and even your corpse cannot return to your homeland, forever buried in an alien world.

Over a thousand people, their hearts felt somewhat heavy.

"We'll go first!" the Ultimate Darkness Blade said confidently, and together with Shen Chuo and others, he flew ahead into the void passageway.

"Let's go up too." Xiao Feng followed closely behind, bringing fifteen companions, and together they embarked on the path of tempering.

The Slaughter Sovereign's voice sounded from behind: "You two are relatively strong; controllers may act against you, so be extra careful."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, senior!" Both Xiao Feng and the Ultimate Darkness Blade replied.

The natives of the Infinite Continent and human powerhouses have an agreement: controllers may not easily act against the junior humans entering the tempering. Stellar-level controllers are even more strictly managed; if they act recklessly, human powerhouses will become furious—no need for the Dao Ancestor to intervene; a single eternal invincible powerhouse could sweep across the Infinite Continent.

Therefore, awed by the might of human powerhouses, the controllers of the Infinite Continent, no matter how much they hate humanity, dare not act recklessly.

However, Xiao Feng and the Ultimate Darkness Blade are so powerful that Planetary-level controllers need not hesitate to act against them; if pressed, even Stellar-level ones can step forward to exchange a few blows.

The rules are not set in stone; they are quite flexible.

In this world, danger does not diminish with strength; even controllers must still exercise extra caution.

The Ultimate Darkness Blade was the first to enter the void passageway.

Xiao Feng and the others soon followed, being guided by a strand of power and disappearing into the main universe.

This transmission differs from previous ones; it is no longer merely a spatial displacement, but also crosses the universe, moving from the main universe into another plane.

No.

No.

At the beginning of the month I'll rest, only three chapters, no need to vote for me, from now on no need.
