Chapter 894: You Dare Look Down On Me? (2/2)

”I see.” Krune nodded, then remembered the map Yulian had given him. He then took it out and gave it to the ring spirit, asking, ”Will this be helpful to you?”

The ring spirit glanced at the map once she made a note of the details. ”Thanks, that was helpful. I can guess the correct route, more or less. But this made it a bit easier for me.”

”Travelling through this route would be a pain,” Cultivator muttered as he began to walk, occasionally touching the walls as he was careful in getting his feet wet. Though, after taking five steps, his feet plunged into murky mud that looked dry in the first place.

His foot sank in it a little, dirtying his shoes and allowing the mud to reach his knees. Cultivator looked at the ring spirit and said, ”You should have told me this path would be wonky like this.”

”This is just some minor inconvenience. You can easily clean it off with a single emission of your Godly Energy.” The ring spirit rolled her eyes. ”There's nothing that can threaten you in this path, so I didn't bother warning.”

She then yawned as the Godly Energy flow in her body turned a tad sluggish. The ring spirit immediately pointed at the front and made a couple of hand actions. ”If you go two kilometers, you'll come across a crossroads. Take a right, then after one kilometer, take another right and travel in that direction for three kilometers. You'll reach the main path. You can then head in the direction other people are traveling in.”

Saying her piece, she then disappeared.

”There she goes again.” Cultivator sighed as he wiped his earlobe on his sleeve, wiping off all the saliva the ring spirit had drooled on it as he continued to walk. The two then began to walk through the muddy path, taking a couple of hours as they walked slowly, finally reaching the main path.

Followed by a faint emission of Godly Energy, both of them cleaned themselves, returning to their pristine conditions.

”Finally, I'm out of that yucky place.” Cultivator stretched his hands as he relaxed. He then wore a ring as he summoned its ring spirit. It was a Zenith Plugger or a ring spirit that looked similar to one.

The two then boarded it and began to ride it through the path, watching the figures of cultivators that streamed through the path from time to time. As he looked at their silhouettes, Krune used his Mental Energy Scan to judge their cultivation bases.

Most of them were at the late stages of the God Foundation Realm, followed by some God Core Stage Realm experts. Though, that was only among the individual people traveling through the path. As for those traveling in groups, they were more or less at the God Core Realm.

As they proceeded forward, having traveled past nine kilometers now, they noticed a crowd before them. And, it seemed most of the people traveling through the path had been blocked by someone at the front.

Using the height advantage of the Zenith Plugger, Krune noticed the figures of five people stationed at the front, present in relaxed states. They were the culprits that had blocked the path, preventing anyone from traversing past.

On top of that, they had picked a rather perfect location to block people. It was at a fair away place in the main path, so even if someone wished to avoid trouble, the amount of distance they had to backtrack was tremendous. Not only that, but they had to venture forth into narrow paths whose routes they didn't know about. It might very well make them miss the opening of the Sub-Realm. Once the duration passed, the entrance would close, and they wouldn't be able to enter it, making their travel a lost opportunity.

And, if they wished to pass through the main path, they had to do whatever the five people at the front said. If they wished to break through using brute force, they had to be sufficiently strong. But, judging by the number of corpses that lay under their feet, it was apparent no one was successful in defeating them.

Moreover, the five people had piled up the corpses and used them as a seat to be seated upon, increasing the brutality of the scene they displayed. This caused most of the crowd to have pensive expressions.

At the front of the group of five sat a man wearing armored spikes, sporting a cold and arrogant look, looking at others with a gaze that treated them as dust. With a sweeping gaze at the crown, he spoke, ”The rules are simple. Kill three people, and you may pass. You will probably be fighting to the death for resources in the Sub-Realm anyway, so considering this as a chance to whittle down your competitors.”

Seeing the terrified and hesitant expressions of the people before him, the man wearing armored spikes was just about to speak when he saw a massive figure walk towards him. It was the Zenith Plugger look-alike ring spirit Krune and Cultivator were traveling upon.

He frowned, using his Divine Sense to inspect their cultivation bases as his face morphed into one of disdain, tinged with anger, ”Mere God Foundation Realm and God Core Realm trashes dare to look down on me?”

He then pointed at the two, motioning the crowd to act on them. ”The rules have changed now. Kill those two, and you are free to pass.”
