After traversing dozens of similar islands, the group arrived at the last transit island.
"...Welcome to Kill Island #03."
Two messengers, also dressed in deep red robes, came forward to greet them:
"On this island, apart from a few staff members, you can enjoy the thrill of killing to your heart's content. There are no rules and no restrictions on any means. The more you kill, the richer the rewards you will receive."
"So, Black Cliff, your friends all seem pretty strong. Want to join us?"
The two women swayed seductively, their alluring curves, hidden beneath their long robes, appearing and disappearing in the shadows.
"No need, Your Excellencies."
The "Lord of Black Cliff City" declined again, saying, "Please send me to Illusionary Spirit Island as soon as possible. I need to rush back to Black Wind Cliff after delivering the items."
"Well, that's a real shame."
The two women sighed regretfully, but did not insist any further, and waved to activate the teleportation array behind them.
"If you change your mind, you are welcome to come back anytime."
"must."
The "Black Cliff City Lord" exchanged pleasantries, then turned around and said respectfully, "My lord, you can travel to the core of the Illusionary Spirit Sea, Illusionary Spirit Island, through this teleportation array."
Let's go.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and led everyone into the teleportation array.
A flash of light and it disappeared from the spot.
"Number 88, these people look like they're not to be trifled with. Should we notify the master?"
A woman in a deep red robe watched the figures of the group disappear and spoke.
“They must be true gods from the outside world. With such a powerful aura, the master probably sensed it the moment they stepped into this place.”
Number 88 shook his head and said, "However, in the Illusionary Spirit Sea, even a true god cannot be a match for the master. Since the master has not given any additional instructions, we only need to complete our own tasks."
"That's true."
Another woman sighed, "The task for this season is to bring 1 million people into the killing field, and we're still short by more than 200,000. I don't know why the master needs so many living beings to fight."
Shh, be quiet!
Number 88's expression changed, and he quickly covered the other person's mouth: "Are you out of your mind? How dare you talk about the master's affairs? We just need to do what we are told, why think so much!"
"Too."
......
On the other side.
Jiang Yan and his group also arrived at the largest island in the Illusionary Spirit Sea—Illusionary Spirit Island.
"A new person has arrived!"
"1, 2, 3... There are 10 people! Great, that's enough for me to complete the mission!"
"Don't fight over them, they're mine!"
As soon as he appeared, Jiang Yan noticed that dozens of powerful individuals from different races had surrounded him, their eyes gleaming with excitement, as if they were looking at delicious prey.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yan asked with great interest.
"My lord, these are the rules on Phantom Spirit Island. Each person must kill at least five other beings every month in order to remain on the island and gain the qualification to enter the safe training area. Therefore, it is common for groups of people to lie in wait near the teleportation array to ambush newcomers."
The "Black Cliff City Lord" asked with some doubt, "But it's strange. In the past, when I delivered goods, there would always be red-robed envoys here to receive me. Those people didn't dare to get close at all. Why didn't the envoys appear this time?"
"Looks like this place is really chaotic."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan chuckled and said, "Through dozens of islands along the way, they've almost all been killing each other. Even in this town, they have to kill enough people to stay. Aren't they afraid that all the creatures in the entire Devastated Land will die out?"
"My lord, it's not that bad. The number of beings in the Desolate Land is not small. Every time an era is destroyed, many beings from various realms escape here. Conservatively speaking, there are at least hundreds of millions of beings in the entire Desolate Land."
"Yeah."
Jiang Yan nodded noncommittally, then turned his gaze to the dozens of menacing figures lying in ambush around him, and said calmly:
"Anna, kill them."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Anna, who had long been filled with murderous intent, suddenly turned cold. Her divine power surged, and dozens of divine magic arrays condensed behind her.
"A band of heretics, divine punishment!"
In an instant, a pillar of holy light swept across the sky, and dozens of powerful figures were purified into ashes before they even had a chance to react.
Anna is now incredibly close to the highest level. Even without the support of additional laws, her divine power alone is enough to instantly kill ordinary true gods, let alone those who are only ordinary upper-middle-level gods.
Even the remaining holy light continued its relentless advance, traversing tens of thousands of miles of void to impact the walls of Illusionary Spirit City before gradually dissipating under the corrosive power of destruction.
Some people who originally planned to come and take advantage of the situation also changed their plans under the intimidation of this overwhelming force.
However, Jiang Yan had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. He sensed the faint souls emerging from the bodies of those dead beings and said calmly:
"Did you notice?"
"interesting."
Satan also raised his head and grinned: "I never expected that someone in this desolate land could cultivate the Laws of the Dead to this extent."
"We noticed it from those crimson giants guarding the gate, but it wasn't as obvious as here."
A flicker of eerie fire flashed in Death's eyes as he added, "This power seems somewhat familiar... Could it be..."
"That's right, it's the power of fragments from the ancient Netherworld."
Jiang Yan sighed slightly, "No wonder this place not only doesn't control the erosion of the power of destruction, but also encourages slaughter. The master of this Illusionary Spirit Sea is quite capable, actually thinking of offering up the fragments of the ancient Netherworld by annihilating countless living beings in exchange for the right to simply borrow its power."
"Yes, but that may not be a bad thing."
Death, wielding divine power, sensed for a moment and said, "After the ancient realm of the dead was shattered, its essence was severely lost, and it ended up in this desolate land, almost unable to recover on its own. The master of this Illusionary Spirit Sea offered countless lives for endless years, which has allowed this fragment to recover a considerable amount of its vitality."
"That's not all."
"I can sense that this fragment is extremely large. If I'm not mistaken, the Master of the Illusionary Spirit Sea has been actively collecting these fragments over the past eons. It has saved me a lot of trouble."
Jiang Yan was overjoyed. He had originally thought that there were only a small fragments of the ancient spirit world here, but he did not expect to have such a great harvest.
The master of the Illusionary Spirit Sea is truly a selfless and altruistic person.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Sheena's eyes lit up with excitement, eager to try.
If they could recover all the fragments of the ancient Netherworld, then these Netherworld gods would once again receive the blessing of the Netherworld's origin and become even more powerful.
"Grim Reaper, have you located the enemy?"
"Yes, it's in the turbulent currents about 1.3 million kilometers above this island," Death nodded slightly.
"very good."
Jiang Yan's lips curled up slightly:
"Anna, give our friend a little surprise, following the location marked by Death."
