Chapter 744 - Trinity Convergence (1/2)

Ye Lingchen did not speak. He simply touched Old Tortoise’s shell as its eyes lit up.

“What happened, exactly?” Chen Qi asked solemnly.

Ye Lingchen looked at him. “The stage above the Innate Stage is…the King Stage?”

“You’ve met a King Stage?” Chen Qi’s pupils shrank suddenly. Although he had already guessed it somewhat, the revelation was still a huge shock for him!

It was a fact that there were no King Stage masters in Capital New District. Any King Stage master was powerful and unrivalled. They were overseers of a region and were a treasured resource for any country.

Ye Lingchen nodded. “A new, permanent Hell’s Gate had opened somewhere near here. After we found out, we encountered a King from the Stick Nation.”

Ye Lingchen then briefly recounted his earlier experience.

A new Hell’s Gate?

A King from the Stick Nation?

The news was so important that Chen Qi was momentarily lost for words.

He quickly figured out what was going on. “The Stick Nation is afraid that you’ll leak the news and that’s why they wanted to kill you?”

“That’s right,” Ye Lingchen nodded. “The location of Hell’s Gate is in the international waters between us and the Stick Nation. I’m afraid that Stick Nation has already begun to arrange for people to claim it.”

“Hmph, if it’s in international waters, this isn’t something they can monopolize!” Chen Qi’s eyes narrowed and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

“Are there many kings in The Stick Nation?” Ye Lingchen asked suddenly.

“Not many. There are only three in total.” Chen Qi explained, “King Stage martial artists are worldly rarities. Whether they’re from our country or the Stick Nation, they must have originated from Buff Island, since that was the first Void Realm to be seized by humans. With more resources and stronger aura, that is the only place one can cultivate and enter the King Stage.”

Buff Island was equivalent to mankind’s base camp. It was jointly controlled by all countries and provided resource support to the entire world.

“What are the names of these three people in the Stick Nation?”

Chen Qi’s face changed slightly, and he responded solemnly. “Little Friend Ye, you mustn’t mess around. King Stage martial artists are far more powerful than Innate Stage warriors. They’re not even on the same level.”

“I know. I fought him too.” Ye Lingchen’s voice was faint.

“It’s an amazing feat to have escaped from the hands of a King Stage martial artist, but I can assure you that he never took the battle seriously to begin with. Otherwise, you’d be killed in seconds!”

The old man initially wanted to capture Ye Lingchen alive. With little effort, he managed to Ye Lingchen and forced him to the limits in order to try and stop it. Then there was the old man’s last move—even though Ye Lingchen was hundreds of meters away and blocked the attack to the best of his ability, the attack still ended up hurting Old Tortoise. It was truly a testament to the man’s strength.

Ye Lingchen shrugged. “I know, I didn’t even think about going head-to-head with him just now. But I…will definitely kill this person!”

Chen Qi frowned slightly. “The characteristic of a King Stage martial artist is that they control space and time. Rather than relying on nimbleness of movement, they actually have the ability to fly and are able to suspend themselves thin air as if they’re walking on the ground. They’re invaluable to all countries, even to Earth. I’m afraid no one will agree with you if you want to kill a martial artist like that.”
