Chapter 3050 - 3053: Hailu City

Chapter 3050: Chapter 3053: Hailu City

Feng Piaoyun left, taking along Feng Yunxi, Qing Yingying, and three other youths from the Qing Luan clan.

Su Bichen, Su Qingluan, and Zhuo Bufan were taken by Jin Baisheng to Changlin Academy, while Zhao Buzu and Si Wenhao led Jiang Chen to the Slaughter King Pavilion.

The Slaughter King Pavilion is located in the northern part of the Canglan Continent at the far northern edge, within the coastal city of Hailu City. Across the northern sea lies the Origin Continent.

Because of this, some cross-sea warriors from the Origin Continent often appear in Hailu City.

Although crossing the sea is very dangerous, some strong warriors or merchant alliances still choose this way to travel between continents, since the Great Teleportation Arrays between continents can’t be activated easily, nor can everyone afford them!

Due to the presence of many cross-sea warriors, the outer city of Hailu City is bustling with activity.

Today, even the usually quiet inner city has become lively.

The inner city of Hailu City naturally houses members of the Slaughter King Pavilion, who embrace the Path of Slaughter. Everyone exudes Evil Qi and rarely stroll around, spending their time either in cultivation or in combat.

In the northern part of Hailu City’s inner city is a mysterious abyss, filled with blood-colored mist that emanates a bloodthirsty and chilling evil aura.

This Slaughter Abyss is a cultivation treasure ground for the Slaughter King Pavilion.

Here, Spiritual Intelligence creatures composed entirely of Evil Qi, known as "Evil Spirits" by the Slaughter King Pavilion, exist.

The Slaughter King Pavilion, despite its unique and reclusive nature, chose to establish itself in this bustling coastal city primarily to suppress this Slaughter Abyss.

This abyss was carved out ten thousand years ago by a top-tier expert of the Slaughter King Pavilion who had condensed their own Great Dao World. During a mutual destruction battle with an equally matched expert from the Great Luo Realm, the strongest Great Dao Attack was unleashed.

This abyss is filled with the Path of Slaughter of that expert as well as the life forces from the expert of the Great Luo Realm, constantly birthing some Evil Spirits.

The Slaughter King Pavilion has guarded it for ten thousand years, considering it a Trial Grounds. Over the millennia, many powerful individuals who comprehend the Path of Slaughter have emerged, though no one has inherited the Great Dao of that expert.

Today, after an overwhelmingly challenging evaluation, Jiang Chen and others stood before the Slaughter Abyss.

"If it weren’t for our Slaughter King Pavilion’s Path of Slaughter being unsuitable for the academy’s cultivation, you all wouldn’t have passed the challenge so easily!"

The Slaughter King Ping Cangsheng cast a casual glance at Jiang Chen and others.

"Enough boasting. Let it go. Even Naihe has been included in the preparatory student ranks, so why are you still acting like this?"

Si Wenhao shot a glare at Ping Cangsheng, remarking in a slightly irritated tone.

Ping Cangsheng returned Si Wenhao’s glare, stubbornly saying, "That was an opportunity Cangsheng earned himself!"

In this challenge evaluation, the Slaughter King Pavilion deliberately lost. Five people from the Saint Realm of the Slaughter King Pavilion challenged Jiang Chen and were unsurprisingly defeated by him.

In the Integration Realm’s challenge, only Mo Naihe defeated Li Tianqiong, while the other four jumped off the stage midway through the battle. Li Tianqiong wasn’t eliminated but allowed Mo Naihe into the preparatory student ranks as a replacement for the departing Kong Wanchen.

The people of the Slaughter King Pavilion are clear about their own strengths; they are not suited for cultivation in the academy. Their cultivation method is simple: continuous slaughter. Where else could be more suitable for slaughter training than the Slaughter Abyss?

"This time’s reward is this Slaughter Abyss, but I must remind you all here."

Zhao Buzu ignored the bickering pair, turning to Jiang Chen and the others: "In this abyss, no one will come to assist you, even if you encounter life-threatening danger. This is the rule of the Slaughter Abyss reward. Figuring out how to ensure your safety while reaping the most benefits is the true test of this reward!"

Jiang Chen and the others were slightly taken aback, then looked down at the Evil Qi-filled Slaughter Abyss, a serious expression crossing their faces.

They vaguely sensed from the abyss a surging aura, and it seemed that somewhere deep within lay the presence of the Saint Monarch Realm!

"The Slaughter Abyss is layered. The topmost layer houses Virtual Refinement Realm Evil Spirits, below that are Integration Realm Evil Spirits, and at the bottom are Supreme Realm Evil Spirits. The entire abyss is enveloped by a massive Dao Array, restricting the Evil Spirits of various realm levels from leaving their respective layers."

Noticing everyone’s seriousness, Mo Naihe softly introduced: "As long as you don’t randomly venture into other realm levels, there generally won’t be any danger. However, there’s one thing everyone must note."

Hearing this, everyone relaxed a bit, only to become tense once again.

"The layers here are not divided by major realms but by breakthrough stages. For instance, the first layer ranges from Initial Stage of the Virtual Refinement Realm to later stages, the second from the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak to the Initial Stage of the Unity Realm, the third being Mid to Late Unity Realm Stage, the fourth being Integration Realm Peak to newly entered Saint Realm, all the way down to the Upper Supreme Realm level!"

Mo Naihe explained with a smile:

"When descending, pay attention. Each layer is isolated by a Dao Array aura. Some people upon their first entry, believing themselves to be at Integration Realm Peak, seek greater benefits on the third layer only to end up directly entering the fourth layer, encountering newly entered Saint Realm Evil Spirits and being slain on the spot.

Therefore, I recommend starting at a safer level and becoming familiar with the combat here before considering pursuing benefits!"

"Here, every Evil Spirit you slay can deepen your comprehension of the Path of Slaughter. Even if you lack innate talent for it, continuously enhancing your understanding of the Slaughter Avenue can boost your combat power in future battles.

Just like anyone from our Slaughter King Pavilion, not all are disciples who grasp the Slaughter Avenue, but when fighting peers in the same realm and path, they can surely slaughter their opponents!"

Ping Cangsheng’s eyes bore a hint of proud arrogance.

"Alright, quit bragging. Find someone from the Saint Realm who has comprehended any random Great Dao to battle Jiang Chen and see who wins."

Si Wenhao once again retorted.

"I..."

Ping Cangsheng was momentarily choked, glaring fiercely at Si Wenhao but unable to find words to retort.

He had witnessed Jiang Chen’s prowess, and even the strongest Peak of Saints from their Slaughter King Pavilion wouldn’t stand a chance against him. Si Wenhao’s words thoroughly slapped him in the face, and promptly too.

Ping Cangsheng’s face was full of anger, while Si Wenhao wore a smug expression, much to the exasperation of the surrounding Slaughter King Pavilion members.
