1198 There’s a Force... (1/2)

Hollow Fearsome Star Area.

By the Black Blood Ghost Pond of Gu God Star, Sha Zhao's ferocious face was focused. He was concentrating on making hand seals, his hands moving as if he was using the grinding mill.

The Black Blood Ghost Pond in front of him had black and viscous water that rose as he was urging it. Countless bugs and worms that naked eyes could see were screeching while tearing and devouring each other.

The Black Blood Ghost Pond was the important cultivating area to train toxic insects of the Gu God Sect. It opened only to the Elders and the Sect Master. The other disciples of the Sect could only visit this area when they celebrated the Sect anniversary after every one hundred years. It was the chance to eye the mysterious features of the place. Normally, this place was prohibited. No one was allowed to enter, let alone cultivate here.

Previously, Sha Zhao didn't have that right.

Ten years ago, he had spent a lot of efforts to get the Guiding Fruit to enter the ancient continent. He was just one of the outstanding warriors of the new generation. He didn't have a strong background.

Ten years later, he survived the ancient continent with a lot of treasures. At the same time, his cultivating attainment and power Upanishad advanced. He was just one step away from Incipient God Realm. He had become more powerful.

Sha Zhao had become an eye-catching character in the Gu God Sect.

The Black Blood Ghost Pond that was open exclusively to the Elders and the Sect Master opened to him for the first time.

Sha Zhao was cultivating the secretly imparted evil techniques of the Gu God Sect. He was making countless bugs and worms eat each other to screen the most brutes. Then, he would use secret medicines to feed them and make them the Gu King!

He wasn't eligible to practice this secret technique before. However, after he had survived the ancient continent, most of the Elders had allowed him to start learning this technique. They gave him a copy of the textbook so he could learn it himself.

Sha Zhao's position and status in the Gu God Sect rose like a boat rising above the water. Many Elders who didn't have a good relationship with him now chased after him to make a good connection. They had even tried to win his favor. When he was cultivating the evil technique in the Black Blood Ghost Pond, they offered him useful gifts.

The toxic insects screeched and showed its fangs, swallowing others in the Black Blood Ghost Pond. Sha Zhao looked indifferent as he was using the power Upanishad in his soul altar to contact the insects and capture the most brutal ones.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Two cockroach-like bugs suddenly screamed from afar and sent Sha Zhao's soul into alarm.

Sha Zhao frowned and paused his cultivating. He looked in a direction.

Shortly after, an old man who had a lot of infectious, swollen wounds on his face walked over with a bright smile. He was one of the Elders of the Gu God Sect. His name was Gale and he had a close relationship with Sha Zhao. ”I got something for you.”

Gale threw a Magic Image Crystal to Sha Zhao from a distance.

Sha Zhao darkened his face and said unhappily, ”I told you to not disturb me when I'm cultivating except for...”

”It's the ”except” thing that you said,” continued Gale.

Sha Zhao's cold eyes brightened. He didn't pay attention to Gale anymore and just opened the Magic Image Crystal. He then saw Shi Yan and heard his voice.

He listened quietly. After the image in the cube disappeared, Sha Zhao stopped his cultivation and spoke to the old man, ”Gale, I need a force. I want to enter Agate Star Area and fight the God Clan!”

”You should talk to the Sect Master yourself. Ah, right. I think it's not gonna be a problem,” said Gale with a strange expression.

”Why do you say so?” Sha Zhao didn't understand.

”The Great Elder doesn't like you, you know that, right? But this time, he proactively asked the Sect to send our warriors to Agate Star Area. He wants to attack the God Clan too. His reason for this operation is that the God Clan had plotted to kill you on Desolate. He said that the God Clan didn't think the Gu God Sect was strong enough.”

Gale didn't understand this event either. When he told Sha Zhao the details, he also looked bewildered.

Sha Zhao rubbed his head and felt a little amused. ”Which game does he want to play?”

”I don't know, but I'm sure he's dead serious. He's gathering the troops now. He looks even more rushed than you,” Gale waved his hand.

”I don't care about him. I'm going to talk to our Sect Master.”

”The Sect Master watched the Magic Image Crystal. He agreed. He also assigned the army under your command. They're waiting for you to get out of here to start the operation,” said Gale strangely.

”Oh gosh! What's going on? Why are they more enthusiastic than me? What did Shi Yan offer them?” Sha Zhao was baffled.

”Only God knows,” Gale forced a smile.

Prosaic Star Area.

It was an extremely busy life star where people could find a one-thousand-square-mile arena. The area was so lively and noisy with the boiling crowd of dozens of thousands of warriors.

This arena hosted any kind of bloody battle that people could imagine. They had human and beast gladiators fighting against each other. They would have matches between humans and beasts, beasts against beasts, and warriors against warriors. This huge arena was divided into smaller blocks where many warriors were screaming and betting. It looked like a massive food market, indeed.

The women from different races with exposing dresses walked around to offer various types of wines and products. The smell of sweat, the screaming, and the roaring of beasts expanded continually.

This was a completely chaotic scene.
