1274 The Opening of the Great Heaven Territory (2/2)

'Does he think he's Gilgamesh?'

”You really do talk a lot of nonsense, King Kong,” Buried Heaven responded expressionlessly from where he was standing to the side.

Lin Huang's pupils contracted a little when he heard the name King Kong. Although the man's name was the same as the gorilla in the famous movie, this was not what Lin Huang was thinking about.

In the documents that Bloody had given him, there were mentions of this particular individual.

Like Buried Heaven, King Kong was one of the few peak heavenly god-level powerhouses in the God Territory who were closest to becoming Lords.

Despite his name, King Kong was not a combat cultivator specializing in melee weapons—rather, he was a genuine sword cultivator.

Lin Huang recalled very clearly that the organization King Kong belonged to was called God Capital. It was a grade-7 organization founded by a pureblood Protoss Lord.

King Kong was an elder in God Capital, a position that was on par with the few half-step Lords in the organization.

Clearly, this time, exploring the secret zone was important to God Capital as well.

”Sword and saber are irreconcilable. As a sword cultivator, Great Heaven always treated me as his most powerful opponent. It makes perfect sense that I'm here. You though, you're a combat cultivator, so why are you here looking for trouble?”

”I'll come as I please, what are you going to do about it?” Buried Heaven did not bother rising to the bait despite King Kong's needling.

”Hey, there's a new face on your team.” King Kong swept a glance over Buried Heaven's group, his gaze stopping on Lin Huang, ”He's bundled up securely enough already, do you still need to cast a shield layer around him, brat? All this mystery—don't tell me he's Death Sickle's secret weapon?”

Lin Huang had a shock when he heard this. Only now was he aware that Buried Heaven had secretly cast a layer of protection over him to prevent him from being detected by the Heavenly Gods. Even King Kong had not been able to discover who Lin Huang really was.

”I added a shield to prevent people like yourself from detecting him as and when you please,” Buried Heaven retorted, not mincing words.

”Your straightforward character is what I like about you.” King Kong did not seem to take offense to this at all. Instead, he said, grinning, ”I think we would become great partners if you joined God Capital. We wouldn't have any opponents below Lord level. I don't know what's so good about Death Sickle when there aren't any Lords in the organization...”

”If you want me to join God Capital, that's fine by me. I'll be more than happy to take your place once you die,” Buried Heaven interrupted King Kong, scoring a point verbally. This was not the first time King Kong had annoyed him with similar invitations.

”Hehe, I certainly don't want to die. Why don't you help me kill off one of God Capital's elders? You can join and take over his position…” King Kong's brazen suggestion about killing one of his own organization's elders in front of so many people shocked even the 12 God Capital participants behind him.

'What an insane bastard!' Lin Huang mentally labeled King Kong.

The conversation between the pair came to an abrupt end very quickly, thanks to Buried Heaven ignoring King Kong. The entire space finally settled back into its hitherto quiet state.

More and more organizations showed up as the time for the opening of the Great Heaven Territory drew nearer.

Lin Huang noticed that the few teams with a larger quota were grade-7 organizations guarded by Lords. Excluding the leaders, there were more than ten participants per team.

Almost all the other teams had less than five members. Only two teams had five members, while seven other teams, Death Sickle included, had four members. Most of the rest were small teams of two or three people; there were some ten teams that only had one participant each.

Clearly, the Great Heaven Territory's quota for the trial was not so easily obtained.

Everyone continued waiting; it was soon nine in the morning.

Precisely on the stroke of nine, an austere golden metal gate suddenly materialized out of thin air…In this paragraph, the author changed the color of the snake from green to black; we have translated according to what the author wroteA reference to Gilgamesh, one of the characters in the anime series Fate/Zero, who wears golden armor.
