"Congratulations on completing three charges. The completion rate for Purgatory difficulty is 95%. Reward: 10,000 drops of Secret Blood and the Badge of Fallen."

The deafening battle cries that had just been ringing in their ears vanished instantly. The war drums and bronze halberds, which were clearly right in front of them, were nowhere to be seen. Only four people remained in the arena.

"Divine Realm - Dark Fall, activation condition: kill remnants of the war faction."

A sentence suddenly rang out in this dark space, and it goes without saying who the secret realm was targeting—no one but Shi Jingang, who stood on the side of war.

"Let's do it!"

The tomb maiden was the first to attack Shi Jingang, and An Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before also choosing to make a move. They had no reason to be merciful when facing alien races.

"Wait!" Jiang Yuan stepped in front of them, his expression showing some hesitation, perhaps due to his innate rebelliousness. He didn't want to follow the mission; he would kill the people he needed to kill himself, without needing a mission to command him.

"Master, you don't need to do anything. Mistress and I can handle him!" The Tomb Maiden and Jiang Yuan were of one mind, so she naturally knew what Jiang Yuan was worried about. It was nothing more than that the Desolate Stone Clan had made way for them, and it would be unethical to kill them now that they had served their purpose.

But the tomb maiden doesn't care about morality; she only has Jiang Yuan in her heart, and he is her everything.

"Hatred imposed upon us is meaningless, so there is no need to perpetuate it."

Jiang Yuan knew very well that this was a feud between the War Faction and the Dark Star Faction. The War Faction had slaughtered the Dark Star, and the Dark Star Supreme had slaughtered the War Faction. The hatred between the two sides had dissipated, and as an outsider, there was no need for him to get involved and prolong the hatred.

"But this is what the mission requires?" An Xiaoyu asked worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked at the black sphere in his hand and smiled faintly, saying, "A deity who has passed away is no longer a deity, let alone one that is now begging from us!"

The black sphere opened, revealing a secret manual with a very ordinary name: Dark Forest. Through the black sphere, Jiang Yuan learned more about Dark Star.

All the people of Dark Star cultivate one technique, namely the Dark Forest given by the Dark Star Supreme. However, although the technique is the same, the Dark Forest still has many branches. The three main systems are physical body, soul, and energy. Overall, it is similar to the cultivation techniques of the three thousand races.

The Dark Forest is very likely the key to breaking the deadlock in the entire battle; otherwise, Dark Star Supreme wouldn't have given it to him.

"Jiang Yuan, come and fight! I am not afraid of death!"

Jiang Yuan wasn't planning on starting a fight yet, but Shi Jingang's stubbornness kicked in, and he insisted that Jiang Yuan and the others fight.

The outcome of such a battle is predictable; it will inevitably end with one side dying.

As for whether Shi Jingang was confident, he would have been full of confidence in the past. However, when he saw a member of the Hundred Men be pierced to death with a single spear thrust, his confidence was shattered by that same thrust.

Jiang Yuan is an opponent who only exists in legends; he cannot imagine how many eras it would take to produce such a person.

"You can't beat me at the first stage of the Nascent Soul Realm." Jiang Yuan admitted it directly, but he didn't give others the impression of arrogance at all, because this was his absolute confidence.

"I would be honored to die by the gun of an opponent like you!"

Shi Jingang's body continued to grow larger, as he was determined to face Jiang Yuan in his most powerful form. The Desolate Stone Clan could die in battle, but they could not retreat.

"Since that's the case!"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers and three clones emerged one after another. He said, "If you can defeat my clones, then I will agree to fight you."

"good!"

Shi Jingang felt a surge of anger and swung his fist at him.

"Let's go, let's go study this thing!"

According to his guess, the conditions for opening the Divine Realm must be contained in this cultivation technique, and the Dark Star Supreme will not give up the opportunity to win this war. Therefore, as long as he comprehends the mysteries of the Dark Forest, the war of annihilation will definitely be repeated.

Jiang Yuan's clones of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones engaged in a duel with Shi Jingang. Now that Jiang Yuan possessed powerful essence, energy, and spirit, his One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones ability had also been enhanced accordingly. Although one clone could not defeat Shi Jingang, even Shi Jingang had to avoid his sharp edge when he had three clones.

An Xiaoyu and the Tomb Maiden were worried when they saw Shi Jingang fighting over there, but they couldn't persuade Jiang Yuan otherwise, so they could only go to the side to check on the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest technique is not a battlefield skill and cannot be learned instantly. Therefore, it can only be learned through comprehension. However, Jiang Yuan has already comprehended Chaos, which includes the dark attribute, so his proficiency with this technique is already maxed out.

In three minutes, Jiang Yuan had already mastered the basics of the Dark Forest Technique. Only after mastering it did he realize the profound meaning of this technique. It was no ordinary technique; on the contrary, its origins were likely extraordinary.

Using his Heavenly Eye ability, Jiang Yuan discovered that the Dark Forest was originally the only Dark Law in the universe. This was a technique with an extremely low lower limit but an extremely high upper limit. For ordinary people, it was like learning to fly by looking at the sky, but for highly talented Spirit Awakeners, it was a path to enlightenment and ascension.

"So that's how it is!"

Jiang Yuan separated the Dark Mystery from the Eternal Mystery he had mastered and then introduced it into the Dark Forest. He found that it was a perfect match, and the Dark Forest instantly reached the same level as him, that is, the Profound God level.

"Husband, have you noticed anything?"

After reading it, An Xiaoyu was completely confused. Although she had an extremely high purity of dark attribute, comprehension had always been her weakness, so it was even more difficult for her to figure out the details in just a few minutes.
