Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

After fifty years of arduous cultivation, Gao Yang has transformed all his resources into his own power.

The core of the plane, the crystallization of the essence of life, and all sorts of fragments, all transformed into nourishment for his growth.

"It's almost time."

Inside the Mingguang Hall, Gao Yang looked at the Mingguang Pool in front of him and muttered to himself.

In the next instant, his body disappeared from the hall and appeared in front of the Qingxu Hall.

Here, Iuliano and Matthew had been waiting for a long time.

When Gao Yang suddenly appeared, Juliano remained calm, but Matthew, being here for the first time, showed some fluctuation in his aura.

Before Matthew could catch his breath, Juliano's voice rang out: "Mr. Gao Yang, we meet again."

Gao Yang nodded slightly, then looked at the two high-ranking members of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild in front of him and asked, "How has it been a year since we last met?"

Matthew looked at Iuliano, who stepped forward, his smile gone.

"Mr. Gao Yang, the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild has done its utmost to fulfill your instructions. Currently, 90% of the 1,376 crystal wall systems involved by the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild have received the relevant information, and 60% of them have completed the detailed dissemination of the information."

However, the results of doing so were also unusually exaggerated.

Gao Yang looked at Iuliano, waiting for his news.

Iuliano paused for a moment, then continued, "According to incomplete statistics, there are over three thousand renowned legends who have entered the Bloodbath Land through various entrances. Among these renowned legends, there are some you might be interested in."

Gao Yang nodded and casually asked, "If there are three thousand established legends, then what about the many lesser-known legends?"

“Some legends retreat in the face of difficulty, while others may be hiding in some corner of the bloody battle, waiting for the opportunity to become gods.” After saying this, Juliano continued:
"Within the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network, we have compiled a list of legendary powerhouses whose strength is at the Immortal level and who have been famous for a long time. You can use this as a reference."

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized communicator and handed it to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang reached out and took it, then changed the subject, continuing, "Has the contract concerning the God of Justice and Contracts been sent out simultaneously?"

That contract was proof that Gao Yang had gathered so many legends. It was no longer possible for him to cultivate step by step in order to prepare for the upcoming siege by the gods.

Therefore, Gao Yang's choice was to fight a bloody battle, using his own life and everything else as a bargaining chip, to fight to the death against those legends who had heard the news and wanted to kill him, and to forge a path to heaven with their lives and blood.

As for whether this is a case of entrapment or indiscriminate killing of innocent people, it is worth considering.

Gao Yang remained unmoved by this.

He has risked his life and all the wealth he possesses for this; if he were not tempted by these things, he would never have appeared on the battlefield.

Those who can appear on the battlefield must have already prepared to pay the price of their own lives to gain the qualification to become gods.

The prerequisite for doing all this is to kill the one who holds the divine status.

Gao Yang has always believed that as long as a person can bear the consequences, then he can do anything.

The fact that these legends came to the battlefield to seize the opportunity to become gods means that they were already capable of bearing the consequences of failing in the struggle.

Therefore, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever in killing these legends who attempted to kill him.

Of course, the complete divine status of a mid-level deity is not only the desire of legendary figures attempting to ascend to godhood, but also the desire of some deities with weak or even mid-level divine power.

Gao Yang's method was to secure control of the divine essence, eternal glory, the floating city, and all the treasures in his backpack through a contract with the God of Justice and Contracts.

Only those beings of medium or lower divine power who completely kill him can trigger this highest-level contract and obtain treasures such as a medium-level divine power divine status, the eternal radiance of an alien god, and a floating city.

If a powerful deity were to disregard all dignity and forcefully kill him, then all of this would be reduced to ashes. Moreover, the power of the contract between the God of Justice and the God of Contract would backfire, directly targeting the murderer.

Even powerful deities would not want to touch the backlash of the God of Justice and Contracts, because the backlash of the God of Justice and Contracts is a deadly poison to the faith of other deities.

Sufficient countermeasures and stringent conditions for triggering the contract are the "rules" set by Gao Yang for this battle where everything is at stake.

Only by killing him within the rules can you obtain the final reward; exceeding the rules means you will get nothing.

"It has already been sent out in sync. It is because of that contract that so many legends have come."

Iuliano nodded and said that, in fact, before that contract was made public, the number of legendary figures who were eager to make a move was far more than three thousand.

But after seeing the covenant between the God of Justice and the God of Contracts, and the reward of a medium-level divine power, many legends ultimately chose to give up.

How could someone capable of producing a medium-level divine power core and launching this near-multiverse-sweeping storm through the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild be an ordinary person?

How could one obtain a complete intermediate-level divine power without complete confidence in one's own strength?

Therefore, it's better to stand by and watch than to die in vain.

Some came and some left, and in the end, what remained were these more than three thousand legendary figures who had long been famous.

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way. Did you bring the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword?"

"There are forty-five legendary-quality Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagrams, and only nine of the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords," Matthew said from the side.

After saying that, he reached out and touched the ring, taking out the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and all nine Immortal Slaughtering Swords he had collected.

Gao Yang reached out and accepted them all.

After absorbing more than sixty Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagrams, his Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagrams still had not broken through to the Quasi-Divine Artifact level, and he only had the four Immortal Slaughtering Swords that he had initially refined.

This made Gao Yang realize that his Zhuxian Sword Domain still had a lot of room for improvement, but of course, the difficulty of improving it was also extremely high.

Therefore, the collection of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, which was originally planned to be stopped, will continue as scheduled.

After accepting the items, Gao Yang looked at the two people in front of him and said, "I have run out of Life Essence Crystals, but I still have some Magic Gems."

"Are you planning to use magic gems as a substitute, or wait until my life essence crystals are replenished before taking them?"

“Mr. Gao Yang, you’re too kind. It’s an honor for the entire Chamber of Commerce to serve you. The Crystallization of the Essence of Life isn’t something that can be rushed, so you don’t need to be in a hurry,” Juliano said with a smile.

Are you kidding me? Magic gems are just ordinary hard currency, but life essence crystals are priceless treasures.

Let alone waiting for a while, even if it takes years or decades, anyone with a sound mind would only choose the crystallization of the essence of life. The former can be obtained as long as you have the resources, while the latter, no matter how rich you are, has no way to obtain without the corresponding channels and connections.

Since the appearance of the Life Essence Crystal, it has quickly replaced the various life-extending items that once appeared in the multiverse, becoming the most famous life-extending item, and it has no side effects.

It was precisely because of the existence of the crystallized essence of life that the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild was able to eliminate the violent shock caused by Gao Yang in a very short time and regain its position.

Gao Yang glanced at Juliano, then calmly said, "It's confirmed. You can probably guess what I'm going to do next. I'm not even sure I can survive this level of carnage."

If I die in what follows, the crystallization of your life essence will be ruined.

"If it were converted into magic gems, I should still have over ten thousand magic gems deposited with your guild."

Faced with Gao Yang's calm, almost unwavering gaze, both Iuliano and Matthew immediately lowered their heads, looking at the bright floor beneath their feet, their hearts trembling.

After a few seconds, Iuliano managed a weak smile, looked up at Gao Yang, and said very seriously, "Mr. Gao Yang, you don't need to do this. I have already made this decision, and I will not change it."

Furthermore, it's just a small amount of resources, which is acceptable to both you and the Chamber of Commerce.

However, as a friend, I hope you can think it over. You are still young and have plenty of time ahead of you; there's no need to resort to such a radical approach.

“That’s right, Mr. Gao Yang, that’s what I was thinking too,” Matthew said immediately.

Looking at the two serious-looking guild presidents in front of him, Gao Yang simply smiled and said, "Did you two bring magic gems? I need to exchange for them."

Iuliano and Matthew exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Upon seeing this, Matthew's ring flashed, and a large number of magic gems appeared beside them.

Before long, a small mountain made entirely of magic gems appeared.

"Mr. Gao Yang, there are a total of 20,000 magic gems. The extra ones were prepared by Yuliano and me specifically for you. We hope they will be of some help to you."

"In that case, thank you very much."

Looking at the magic gem beside him, Gao Yang nodded and did not refuse.

Twenty thousand magic gems are an extremely considerable fortune for any legendary figure or power. It is believed that these gems will attract even more legendary powerhouses.

"We have delivered the items. We won't bother you any longer, Mr. Gao Yang."

Seeing this, Iuliano spoke up decisively.

Every minute and every second is extremely important to Gao Yang now. Every extra minute he earns increases his strength and his chances of survival.

As those who most wanted Gao Yang to live, they naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Gao Yang nodded, and the two quickly left Qingxu Cave.

After the two had completely left Earth, Gao Yang took a step and arrived at the Ironwood Martial Arts Arena.

The Bright Light Pool can only be used for cultivation. Things like refining the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram can only be done outside the Bright Light Pool.

This training ground was his first dojo.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation jade, Gao Yang took out a Zhuxian Formation Diagram and began to refine it step by step.

At the same time, he brought up the network panel and opened the Abyss Trial module.

[Abyss Experience: 74 days, 14 hours, 25 minutes, 23 seconds]

With two and a half months to go before the next Abyss Trial, Gao Yang plans to set aside thirty days to go to the Blood Battleground for this life-or-death battle.

One cannot reach the peak by simply practicing hard, especially for a legend like Gao Yang who has comprehended the rules of killing.

The fastest way to understand the rules of killing is to fight constantly, fight with all your might, and engage in life-or-death struggles without holding back.

This can be seen from the killing seal he obtained.

During these fifty years of cultivation, Gao Yang had already used the Killing Seal he obtained from Tu Jiu, but the improvement he received was not significant.

Or rather, the enhancement he gained from comprehending the rules of killing gave Gao Yang a sense of emptiness, like viewing flowers in a mirror or the moon in water, which prevented him from applying it to his own combat system.

Therefore, only a life-or-death struggle close to the limit can maximize the understanding of the rules of killing. At the same time, after killing the enemy, everything about the enemy will become nourishment for his improvement.

Only in this way can Gao Yang's strength improve rapidly without any hidden dangers after arduous training and accumulation.

At the same time, setting a thirty-day timeframe was to limit himself, and also to give other legends who came to try to kill him a limit.

If there were no time limit, some people might remain in a state of observation forever.

Now, a clear and explicit time limit will tell all those who intend to harm him that if they want to kill him, they must choose the right time to strike.

Otherwise, the opportunity to become a god will drift further and further away from them as time goes by, until it disappears completely.

Of course, the limitations imposed on oneself are due to the trials in the abyss.

[Abyss Experience: 34 days, 10 hours, 54 minutes, 10 seconds]

Gao Yang awoke from his cultivation. After forty days of practice, he had fully mastered his enhanced body and absorbed and refined the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords brought by Yuliano and the others.

He opened his eyes, looked at the golden-red sun overhead, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and then took out two Kui Mang simple meals to eat.

The main ingredient in the Kui Python Meal is the flesh and blood of a Kui Python of Quasi-Saint level. Although its energy content is not as rich as that of the core solution of the plane, it is not far off.

It is extremely suitable as a food to replenish energy on a daily basis.

He knew in his heart that once he stepped into the bloody battle and personally ignited this storm, he would have no time to rest. Only through relentless killing, either annihilating all the covetous ones or being killed by them, could he find a moment of respite.

Before heading to the battlefield, he needed to get himself into peak condition.

One bite after another, Gao Yang slowly and methodically finished his Kui Mang meal. After drinking a mouthful of strong liquor, Gao Yang stood up, took a step, and disappeared into the Qingxu Cave.

This time, he didn't plan to bring anyone else. (End of Chapter)
