Chaos City encouraged killings, so much so that every person or beast killed within its vicinity would yield rewards. Most rewards were spirit crystals or materials, but the most valuable rewards were golden keys.The golden keys would unlock a random reward. There was a chance to get a golden key just by killing one person or beast, but there was also a chance of not seeing a single golden key after killing a hundred.However, the moment a person got one, they could head to the Stage of the Nine, using the golden key to open it. The stage would give out a valuable reward based on the number of golden keys. The more golden keys one had, the greater the value of rewards.Thus, death was a common occurrence in Chaos City. Warriors who wanted to gain something from the danger all frantically went inside. They got to enjoy killing for treasures within.Hearing Fane talking about the rules of Chaos City, Rudy's jaw dropped in surprise, and he struggled to shut it. "My, my… That's absurd
Warriors that were more cowardly would immediately have a mental collapse just from the aura of this place alone.Rudy's skills were below average, and he would be able to stay at a level eight city at the most. He had relied on Fane to get this far. Even though he was not that cowardly, he was still affected by the atmosphere.His hands trembled slightly, and his breathing grew erratic. He followed closely behind Fane, not even daring to breathe deeply, and a dreadful feeling—as though he was about to die—encompassed him. He felt like he would be killed at any moment, leaving the world forever.Rudy's voice trembled slightly. "Fane, walk slower. I can't keep up. This place is just too scary. Chaos City is a completely different world than I thought."Fane did not know how vast Chaos City was, but he could not see the city walls after entering. It was an endless wasteland around them. The blood moon hung in the air, and everything felt very ominous. It was as if zombies would jump
Seeing Fane preparing to attack, the fat man cackled as though mocking him for not knowing his place.Every warrior from a second-grade world had special marks on their clothes. Warriors from the Golden Continent had dark gold patterns, while warriors from the Sacred Water Continent had blue clouds.There were intricate patterns on those symbols to prevent replication from other parties, and warriors from second-grade worlds and third-grade worlds knew those symbols by heart.The fat man and the thin man both looked at Fane and Rudy, and they could immediately tell that they were from third-grade worlds.Their origins were like a label of strength, and both men looked down on warriors from third-grade worlds. Even though they knew not every warrior from a third-grade world was weak, not many of them were powerful either. It was unlikely for them to meet any powerful ones, anyway.Furthermore, Fane—though both men could not deduce his prowess—brought along a good-for-nothing warrio
The moment he said that, the fat man started his attack. He formed multiple mud-colored seals that danced in the air. Crackling could be heard around him, and the seals formed a layer of a brown glow above him. Right after that, rumbling could be heard. Rocks could vaguely be seen moving within the glow.He pushed forward, and the flow shot toward Fane. The fat man shouted, "Let's see if I can bury you alive!"Countless rocks formed within the muddy glow. Swiftly and burning hot, these rocks shot toward Fane.Fane smiled. Ever since entering the Whirling World, Fane had seen many things and experienced a lot of battles. He could immediately tell that the fat man's technique was not at the ultimate-god rank and was still at the upper earth rank. Whether it was second-grade worlds or third-grade worlds, there were only a certain amount of geniuses. In the end, geniuses took up the minority.Fane had mostly met the strongest warriors from each world, so they naturally used higher-leve
It was because of that that Fane's two opponents failed to react when the Soul Sword was in front of them. The fat man's smile froze on his face as his eyes widened and his whole body stiffened.With an audible squelch, the two Soul Swords pierced through their chests, and only then did they realize that they made a grave mistake.Even with both of them using their full might, they were no match for Fane at all. They failed to even slow down Fane's technique! How drastic was the difference between them needed to be for such a result?Pain spread from their chest to their whole body, and the fat man could no longer laugh as he collapsed to the ground. His whole body started to twitch in pain. The thin man fared no better than his companion. His lanky body constantly rolled on the ground as he cried out in agony.Fane raised an eyebrow, amused by the two of them that were on the ground.Rudy sighed in exasperation. "And to think these two said they were lucky!" Just thinking about t
Fane's words boosted Rudy's confidence, so much so that he wanted to give him a round of applause. Fane's words were what the strong would say!Fane tied the key to a string and hung it on himself. After that, he took the piece of purple gold that was only about the size of a fingernail.Rudy did not recognize it. He looked over curiously and pointed at the piece of gold. "What's that? Is it a valuable spirit crystal?"Fane shook his head. "This is a piece of purple gold that has a lot of spiritual energy in it. It's more or less the same as a spirit stone, but it's more valuable than one. A piece of gold the size of a fist is worth about ten million spirit crystals. This one here should be worth a million."Rudy gaped at that. A piece of gold the size of a fist was worth 10 million spirit crystals! It was really hard to fathom.Back then, Rudy lived a very ordinary life. Even though he thought that he was much better off than others and had a lot more potential than his fellow di
Those people could see the faint golden circle around Fane from afar. Every warrior who entered Chaos City knew what those rings represented, so upon seeing Fane, they turned around to leave, not wanting to cause trouble.Rudy said emotionally, "We've walked for so long before we saw a single person. This place is quite desolate. Didn't you say fifty third-grade worlds and twenty second-grade worlds were gathered here? Why haven't we seen anyone after walking for so long?"Is Chaos City just too large, or are there just too few people here? We saw quite a few people entering just now, but who knows where they went."Fane smiled and explained, "Chaos City should be in an isolated space. Don't forget, the city walls disappeared just after we took a few steps into the city. It means that the city gates are in a separate space."You end up in a new space just after taking a few steps. The city gates are basically a simple transfer array, and we were probably sent to a random location w
Vicenze's face reddened in anger as he said through gritted teeth, "We were the ones who killed those people. While we were getting rid of the last one, you suddenly rushed out and took the keys. Stealing from others…is that a skill?"Goldstein, who was behind Vicenze, was absolutely furious. "You're so shameless! You were already hiding by the side long ago and waited for us to fight until only one was left before suddenly jumping out. What's the difference between you and bandits? You even claim to have done all this with your 'skills;? Is being shameless a skill?!"Aurum thought nothing of those words and replied in a pleased manner, "It is a skill! If you were strong enough, you would've noticed us, but you didn't have the skills to notice us."It's only normal that we managed to take advantage of you. If you're not happy about it, why didn't you just fight us back then and take the keys back? If you're incapable of reclaiming the keys, then stop with your nonsense!"The person
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
