The deep-sea ritual, which is the trident symbol on Jiang Yuan's chest, makes him food for any sea creature.
The reason why the guardian of the first ladder was able to remain unscathed on the first step was not only because of his ninth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, but also because of his talent.
Because of the existence of deep-sea rituals, other sea creatures do not want to provoke it, because once the deep-sea ritual begins, the person who becomes the sacrifice will be cursed by the deep sea and become a growing, mobile food.
The offering will bear the curse of the deep sea; it can absorb all the power of the deep sea, and at the same time, it can be devoured by any sea creature.
The most common outcome of becoming a sacrifice is being killed during the growth process and becoming nourishment for someone else.
"Boss, are you alright?" The clownfish approached Jiang Yuan, a strange look in its eyes, but it was trying its best to suppress it with its will.
"Oh."
Jiang Yuan glanced at Mingwu and smiled, then continued, "Don't you feel an urge to kill me?"
"Boss, I didn't," the clownfish quickly denied.
“It’s alright, it’s your sea race’s instinct!” Jiang Yuan seemed indifferent, but then his tone changed and he said, “But I advise you to suppress this instinct, because when you can’t suppress it, that’s when death will come.”
The offerings are for the sea creatures, and also for Jiang Yuan.
His breakthrough required too much energy, and ordinary mineral veins could no longer meet his needs. That's why he set his sights on the guardian of the first ladder. It was just bad luck for the guardian. It was innocent to possess a treasure, but it was a crime. What was worse was that the guardian himself had murderous intentions.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have knelt down and begged him!" The clownfish transformed back into its half-human form, its face filled with remorse.
"Kneeling isn't scary; what's scary is kneeling to the point where you can't stand up!"
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he walked toward the highest point of the first ladder, which was the location of the previous ladder guard.
"Boss, what do we do next?" Clownfish quickly followed behind Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but continued walking upwards until he reached the end where he was blocked by a light curtain.
"Boss, this is the barrier to the second ladder. You have to win ten consecutive games and comprehend the first level of the Annihilation Mystery before you can enter," Clownfish explained from the side.
"Is it just a ten-game winning streak?"
Jiang Yuan didn't take this request to heart. Having already killed the first ladder guardian, the first ladder posed no threat to him.
"Boss, it's not that simple. The victories on the ladder only count those won with the Annihilation Technique. Ordinary kills are not recorded!" Clownfish explained.
"It doesn't matter, we're going to kill them all anyway."
Jiang Yuan's words chilled the clownfish to the bone; it hadn't felt such pure killing intent in many years.
"It's not that simple!" The clownfish revealed a deep sense of apprehension. It reminded him, "Boss, there is no normal way to replenish energy in the Heavenly Ladder. No energy means that it is extremely difficult to recover from injuries. So a series of challenges will only make your condition deteriorate."
"There's one more question!"
Jiang Yuan flicked his finger, and a blue coin tumbled in the water. "What are these Ladder Coins for?"
"I know that. There's a Mysterious Ladder inside the Silent Ladder, and these Ladder Coins can be used to comprehend the mysteries within!" the clownfish quickly replied.
Is it only possible to comprehend profound mysteries?
The clownfish shook its head and added, "It seems that you can use Ladder Coins to replenish energy, so Ladder Coins are very important in the Ladder, but we don't know what they are used for yet."
"So, the only profound meaning is the Annihilation Profound Meaning?!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly thought of this problem. Although this place is called the Ladder of Annihilation, as the deep sea, it is impossible for it to only have the mystery of Annihilation.
The clownfish could only shake its head helplessly when it heard this question; it knew too little.
"Fine, I'll handle these problems myself!"
Jiang Yuan could rely on the will of death to read the memories of the ladder guardian, but the ladder guardian was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and reading its memories would take a lot of time and effort. There was no time for him to slowly digest them now.
Let's begin!
Jiang Yuan suddenly said something, leaving the clownfish next to him completely bewildered.
"Boss, when do we start?" the clownfish asked, puzzled.
"Naturally, it's time to get down to business!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
The clownfish was extremely puzzled, but still chose to follow.
"The Joker Alliance challenges everyone on the top ladder." Jiang Yuan declared war with extreme arrogance, and he was declaring war on everyone.
"By the way, I've already been marked as a sacrifice by the previous ladder guardian!"
Jiang Yuan tore off his shirt, revealing the terrifying trident symbol. "Furthermore, I am a divine body more powerful than your sea god. If you devour me, you will possess even greater potential than your sea god."
"so!"
Jiang Yuan laughed arrogantly, then looked up at the sky and roared, "To become the new Sea God, I will begin by devouring you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan swung his sword and slashed.
This is a bloodbath that is destined to continue to the end; from the moment he was cursed by the ladder guardian, there has been no possibility of easing up.
Jiang Yuan's sword strike truly terrified the clownfish. It had no idea that its newly recognized elder brother was so powerful, and that his actions of immediately engaging in ranked matches upon entering the ranked ladder were incredibly audacious.
"You're too arrogant. Do you really think that killing the ladder guardian will make you invincible on the first ladder?"
As Jiang Yuan drew his sword, a soft-bodied sea creature stepped forward. Judging from its tone, it was not afraid of the ladder guardian. It was only left on the first ladder because its Annihilation Profound Truth could not meet the requirements, and it was suppressed by the ladder guardian who possessed the first level of Profound Truth.
