March of the thirteenth year of the Reincarnation Calendar.
After entrusting a series of tasks to Li Miaolin and several angelic supreme beings, Jiang Yan himself set off for the Land of Destruction, following the route marked by the various realms.
This is the final task for advancing to the highest level.
Because the goblin merchant revealed that the laws of the Desolate Lands were restricted, and the mission involved finding fragments of the Netherworld, he only brought six people with him this time, including four Supreme Beings from the Netherworld, Sheena, and Aberystwyth, in addition to Anna's strong desire to go.
There's no need to make a big fuss.
Although the Land of Ruin has a unique cultivation system, the probability of having a supreme-level combatant is infinitely close to 0, let alone a top-level supreme being comparable to the Holy Light and Undead factions.
At this moment, at the edge of all realms, a divine kingdom burst through space.
"Is this the Land of Ruin?"
Jiang Yan was astonished by the scene before him.
One side is a dazzling galaxy, shimmering with light and color.
One side was dark and decaying, and the whole area was dilapidated.
The two are clearly distinct, clashing against each other on the boundary constructed by the same law, separated by a thin line, yet worlds apart.
"The limit of divine sense coverage is only one million kilometers, and there is almost no energy that can be absorbed. It can only be restored by the soul crystals and medicines carried."
Jiang Yan scanned the area with his divine sense, sensing the rules of the Devastated Land, which were exactly the same as those described by the goblin merchant.
He put away his divine kingdom and stepped into it, with his entourage following closely behind.
Suddenly, a decaying and corrupting force surged from all directions, constantly eroding the surface of the skin and bringing a stinging, burning sensation, which only subsided after using divine power to isolate it.
"Luckily, we prepared enough supplies before we came."
Jiang Yan shook his head and distributed some of the highest-grade divine power restoration potions to everyone.
He then waved his hand, and a holy light spell condensed in his hand, which he threw towards a floating meteorite belt in the distance.
boom!
Dozens of meteorites, each hundreds of kilometers in diameter, shattered upon impact, but the power of the magic was also exhausted.
"Was it weakened that much?"
Jiang Yan glanced at him with some surprise.
Although it was just a casual strike, with his current peak strength as a main god, it was enough to flatten the starry sky for billions of kilometers in the outside world.
And here, not even a meteorite belt spanning millions of kilometers could be shattered.
It can be sensed that not only does this place not receive the blessing of the laws, but during the casting of spells, it is also constantly weakened by the strange power existing here.
"My Lord, esteemed lords, please take this with you."
The goblin merchant took out several cloaks and handed them to everyone, laughing, "These are made from a special material from the Land of Ruin, known as 'Hermits,' which can effectively isolate the erosion of the power of Ruin."
Jiang Yan reached out and took the cloak, and instantly, the oppressive feeling vanished.
It appears to be made from the fur of some kind of creature, and its defensive capabilities are even inferior to those of an epic-level standard equipment, yet it is remarkably effective against this airflow that can corrode even the most advanced divine power.
Indeed, when going to an unknown place, it's much better to have someone familiar with the area to guide you.
"Put them on, they look great."
Jiang Yan gave an order, then turned to the goblin merchant and said, "Old sir, based on your experience, where should we begin our search?"
"My Lord, about three light-years away from here, there is a medium-sized power called Black Wind Cliff. Because of its proximity to the other worlds, many people traveling between the two places stop there, and it is also the most well-informed."
"That's what the goblin merchant suggested."
"Hmm... let's go check that out first, and see roughly what the strength of the owner over there is?"
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.
Here, divine sense can only cover a million miles. Relying on ourselves to search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If we could find a local force to help, it would be much more efficient.
"The master there calls himself the Lord of Black Cliff City. His strength is roughly at the peak of the Upper God level, but in the Land of Destruction, even ordinary True Gods of Law might not be his match. He has about a million Black Wind Guards under his command, whose strength is no weaker than that of dragons of the same level."
The goblin merchant recalled briefly.
"Let's go then, lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded and asked no further questions.
They are comparable to true gods. Although the laws cannot be used here, the divine power within them is enough to kill ordinary main gods as easily as playing with them.
However, Jacobi couldn't help but glance at it.
Damn it, when did my noble dragon race become a unit of measurement? All sorts of monsters and demons want to take advantage of me.
...
After flying at full speed for more than ten days.
A peculiar building came into view.
It appears to be composed of countless irregularly stacked meteorites, reaching a height of tens of millions of miles.
At the very top of the stack, the meteorites were neatly laid out on the ground, and a huge, somewhat dilapidated town sat atop them.
The city gate is inscribed with three strange characters I've never seen before; judging from their meaning, they should be "Black Cliff City".
At this moment, at the city gate, stood two rows of a dozen or so tall and muscular black-armored warriors. They held a stone club in one hand and a prism-shaped crystal in the other, shining it on each person entering the city.
"What are they doing?"
Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"My Lord, this is the rule of Black Wind Cliff. Before entering the city, one's strength must be scanned to match one's identity. The higher the strength, the higher the identity."
"Interesting. Let's go take a look."
Jiang Yan led the way and landed at the city gate.
"Halt!"
Several soldiers immediately came forward.
"Hey, Uhatan, long time no see," the goblin merchant greeted him with a big smile.
"Oh, it's you."
Clearly, the goblin merchant was a regular here. The soldiers relaxed considerably and grinned, "Are these your friends? You've told them the rules, haven't you? Who goes first?"
"Master, let me go first?"
"Jaberlick volunteered," he said.
“Go ahead,” Jiang Yan nodded in agreement.
"Huh, a high-ranking dragon." Several soldiers subconsciously became more respectful and activated the prismatic crystal.
Instantly, a semi-transparent beam of light shone upon Aberystwyn, sweeping back and forth. After about a minute, the crystal suddenly "dinged," its light receding and emitting a mechanical sound:
"Scan complete."
"Normal physical strength: 8.5 stars, cellular explosive power: 7.5 stars, overall rating: 8 stars."
"It is recommended to grant a 'VIP' token."
hiss!
Those who entered the city together clearly noticed this place and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Eight stars? My god, even the city lord is only 8.5 stars. This dragon can actually rival the city lord."
"More than that, they are beings from all realms. Black Cliff Pillar cannot detect their laws and divine power. If they were outside, even the city lord would probably be no match for them."
The soldiers became even more respectful, carefully taking out a token engraved with "Special Grade": "Respected Eight-Star Expert, this is your entry certificate. With this token, you can enjoy free access to most places within the city."
"Even Yaberlik has such a high rating? I wonder how many ratings I can get, and whether I'll burst this prism."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan became interested and stepped forward, saying:
"I'll give it a try."
