Liang Chen and Yan Ling didn't linger around the human cities for much longer after Yan Ling set Liang Chen straight, heading back to Claw Valley city. He calmed down a little after realizing his thoughts had been wrong, allowing Yan Ling to tell him something he hadn't thought about yet, there was nothing he could do right now.
Even if he did kill the ones guarding the human cities and helped free those he deemed worthy of saving, what then? They had no homes they could go to, no organizations where they could seek shelter. All the races on this planet were against them, and neither Liang Chen nor Yan Ling owned a mobile abode, a portable house that could grow or shrink as they pleased. The moment these people were freed, they would be forced to flee for the rest of their lives. Freeing them now was not saving them, it was dooming them to a life of fleeing and pain. Right here, right now, the best course of action was to do absolutely nothing.
They returned to Claw Valley city using the darkness of the night as their cover, scaling the walls of the inn and entering their room through the window they had left open. After entering the room again, Yan Ling removed the gray robe and let out a yawn and then jumped onto the bed, taking on a perfect diving posture. She cuddled up against the pillows, letting out another yawn as she addressed Liang Chen.
"Alright, I'm gonna tuck myself in real nice and tight. Little Freak, try anything funny during the night and I might just savage your junior."
She knew that there was no way Liang Chen would ever try anything on her while she was asleep, she mostly said it to tease him and to somewhat lighten up the mood. After all, they were on a planet where practically all the other races were against them, it was important to keep their mood bright and cheery. Liang Chen put away his own robe, sweeping Yan Ling's body with a quick glance before letting out a snort.
"No need to worry, I wouldn't try anything on someone as childlike as you, I prefer my women more developed. Maybe I should head out and see if I can find someone like that."
Liang Chen was always willing to play along when Yan Ling felt in a teasing mood, so he, of course, had to fire back with something in the same style as her. Yan Ling cast a stealthy glance at her own rather modest chest but then copied Liang Chen and let out a snort.
"Hah, as if you could get anyone else to fall in love with you. With your personality, only someone as mentally deficient as me could fall in love with you. So whether or not you like it, you're stuck with me for the rest of your life."
Liang Chen couldn't stop himself from letting out a light laughter upon hearing her words, which could be considered an insult to both of them. Liang Chen walked over to one of the couches in the room, sitting down and taking out some spicy wine before responding to Yan Ling.
"You know, I fell like that statement can be turned right back at you."
The two of them were rather similar, both had suffered in similar ways, and while they had dealt with their suffering in different manners, it had still left its marks on them. Both of them were forever scarred and changed by the events of their past, and it was these scars that had drawn the two of them together, forever linking them together.
There was no response to Liang Chen's words so he cast his gaze away from the jug of wine and onto Yan Ling, who had fallen asleep while he was sitting down on the couch. His expression softened into a gentle smile as he raised the glass of wine, whispering softly.
"Goodnight Ling'er, sweet dreams."
Liang Chen didn't need to sleep ever since his bloodline awakened. He could sleep if he wished to, but whenever he did he would relive the execution of his parents, so he hadn't slept for quite some time already. Liang Chen passed the night away in silence, drinking some wine as he watched over the sleeping Yan Ling and continued to think about various ways he could improve his body and soul cultivation techniques.
He might get his hands on the other fragments of the Lightning God Physique, but he still continued to ponder over various paths he could take to improve his body cultivation until then. As of right now, he hadn't come up with anything specific, but he had come up with an idea he felt plausible after they entered the Myriad Convergence.
On their way to the Fiend King's Tomb, they had passed through a stone forest that was filled with boulders made of crystals that contained concentrated lightning energy. Liang Chen had taken several of these boulders and stored them into his interspatial ring, saving them for his future cultivation. These boulders were almost like Lightning Quartz, concentrated lightning energy that had become so dense that it had crystallized.
After seeing these, he couldn't help but wonder, couldn't he just turn his bones into this material? It would follow the principle of the Lightning God Physique, changing the entire body into lightning, but it would also allow his bones to become extraordinarily strong. He was still working on how exactly he should complete this process, as it differed somewhat from the usual Lightning God Physique technique, so he hadn't actually put it into practice yet.
Time continued to pass after Liang Chen and Yan Ling finished their scouting of the cities where the humans were being reared, the arrival of the Tripartite Ship getting closer and closer. Liang Chen wanted to just stay in the inn and quietly cultivate until the ship arrived, but this decision of his was quickly overruled by Yan Ling, who dragged him out of the inn and started to wander through the city.
This was a completely new planet, there was no telling what sort of new things they might see as they wandered through the city. Yan Ling would never give up a chance like this, so there was nothing Liang Chen could do but follow her around and join her in her sightseeing. It turned out that the races on this planet didn't eat only humans, they also reared normal animals like pigs and cows that they ate. Humans were more like Demonic beasts to them, a type of gourmet food that they could eat to aid in their cultivation.
Liang Chen and Yan Ling tried some of the food that they were certain wasn't human flesh and found that it was surprisingly good. The races of this planet seemed to be rather fond of sweeter tastes, as most of the meat was coated in different types of sauces that ranged from very sweet to a more subtle sweetness. Before they knew it, they had already spent 11 days in Claw Valley city, the Tripartite Ship arriving in the star-shaped city plaza.
The Tripartite Ship looked rather strange, it didn't look like a ship or carriage at all, it looked like a large metallic tiger with wheels hidden inside the paws. The tiger was only around a hundred meters long, but when Liang Chen and Yan Ling stepped through the door located on the waist of the tiger, they entered a red room that was much larger than the tiger.
The room they entered was circular in shape and at least a few kilometers in width and length, far larger than the ship itself. Liang Chen had never seen a ship like this, but Yan Ling explained to him that ships like this existed on their planet as well, they were used by the upper echelons of the sects. They were created in a manner very similar to an interspatial ring, compressing a large area of space into a small location and stabilizing it.
The room was filled with couches, chairs, and tables, providing a seating spot for everyone who might board the ship. There were bedrooms on this ship, but most people simply spent most of their time in this large room, interacting with the other passengers. There were already quite a few people on the ship when Yan Ling and Liang Chen entered it, all of them on their way to the main cities so that they could enter the grand towers.
Liang Chen and Yan Ling found an empty room and grabbed the key for it, reserving it for themselves. It would take this ship about a month to actually reach Ten Thousand Hearts city so Yan Ling wanted to secure a place where she could sleep. After securing a room for themselves, they returned to the large room where most of the other passengers were located. They found themselves a place where they could sit and chat while surveying the room, calmly waiting for the ship to depart.
After a little less than a day, the Tripartite Ship left Claw Valley city and started its journey to Ten Thousand Hearts city, stopping at a few other cities along the way to pick up a few more passengers. About two weeks after the ship left Claw Valley city, Yan Ling and Liang Chen were approached by a man from the Fiendgod race who waved at them and spoke in a loud tone.
"Yo, the name's Yin Weijing! I and a few others are gonna spar a little before we reach Ten Thousand Hearts city, test our strengths and see where we can improve, ya know? How bout it, wanna join us?"
Yin Weijing had cultivation that lingered between the peak of the Ascended Tower realm and the early stage of the Heaven's Gate realm. If Liang Chen and Yan Ling were to spar with them it would be more like bullying. But it couldn't be helped that he approached them, their cultivation realms seemed to be very similar after all, with Liang Chen at the early stage of the Heaven's Gate realm and Yan Ling at the middle stage. Liang Chen couldn't be bothered to spar with them, but Yan Ling jumped at the opportunity to show off a little.
"I'll join you, but you better not cry when I whoop your ass."
Yan Ling snickered slightly as she spoke, smirking at Yin Weijing. Her words could be taken as sheer arrogance, but she had the right to be that arrogant. With her strength, she could even kill people at the late stage of the Heaven's Gate realm, maybe even someone that had reached the early stage of the Soaring Immortal realm, she had no need to put people like Yin Weijing in her eyes. Yin Weijing burst into laughter after seeing her demeanor, using his thumb to point at another Fiendgod sitting across the room. This Fiendgod had reached the late stage of the Heaven's Gate realm and was only half a step away from the Soaring Immortal realm.
"Haha, yer confident, I like it! Don't worry about me cryin over a loss, I'll take it like a man and focus on improving. But my Eldest Brother might have something else to say if you beat me, he might make ya cry just to make me feel better about losing."
Yan Ling cast her gaze onto the Fiendgod but didn't seem bothered by Yan Weijing's words. She instead giggled lightly, casting a sideways glance at Liang Chen, who was drinking some wine and watching the two of them with a calm gaze.
"Nihihi, you should advise him against doing so. I don't think you can afford to make me cry."
No one knew better than her just how brutal and savage Liang Chen could be, especially when he was furious. She had only seen his rage, or at least what she believed was his rage, twice before. The first time was when he engaged in a bloody massacre in the Mystic's Hidden Realm, the slaughter which had given him the title Scourge King, and the second time was against Huang Dong, where he put his life on the line just to wound Huang Dong to a point where she could kill him.
She couldn't help but be slightly curious, if they wounded her and made her cry, just how furious would he be? Yin Weijing understood what Yan Ling meant with her words and her glance, his gaze landing on Liang Chen. He inspected him from head to toe, shrugging his shoulders with a carefree laugh.
"Heh, now yer just making me curious. But I'll just take yer word for it, no need to poke a possible hornet's nest."
He couldn't see anything special about Liang Chen, but he knew that looks could be deceiving, the normal looking youth could be far more terrifying than he first appeared. Yan Ling didn't say anything, merely snickering lightly while Liang Chen raised the glass of wine in a casual greeting.
Yan Ling left with Yin Weijing and met up with a few other people from the various races. They cleared up some space at the center of the room, creating a small ring where they could spar to test each other's power. Liang Chen moved a bit closer, observing the battles as they took place.
Just like he expected, Yan Ling was easily able to beat the others, to the point where it truly was nothing more than bullying. She held back a little but was still able to practically mop the floor with them, resulting in her getting quite a few awe-filled looks. Most of the people on this ship had cultivation around the Heaven's Gate realm, with the stronger people already living in the three main cities. On this ship, Yan Ling was indisputably one of the strongest people.
Once all the sparring was over, Yan Ling returned to Liang Chen and sat down next to him, Liang Chen handing her a cup filled with sweetened wine. Yin Weijing also came over, bringing a seat and placing it across of Liang Chen's table, taking out some wine of his own as he started talking.
"Yikes, ya weren't kidding when you said you would whoop my ass, I haven't been beaten like that in quite a while! And this guy's supposed to be stronger than ya? I really wanna spar with you, but if what she said is true, I don't think I'm in yer league. If ya spend some time in Ten Thousand Hearts city, and your strength really is that great, ya might even get the chance to meet the Tripartite Slayer."
Yin Weijing seemed to be a rather casual person. He had just gotten completely dominated by Yan Ling, to the point of not even being able to touch her robes, but he didn't mind it in the slightest. Just seeing the way he acted once again reminded Liang Chen that even though these races ate humans, they were still just normal people. Liang Chen finished his cup of wine and poured some more for himself and Yan Ling, taking the initiative to talk to Yin Weijing.
"The Tripartite Slayer, could you tell me a little about her? We're nomads who have spent quite a bit of time traveling through uninhabited areas, so we are rather lacking in the information department."
Sun Cailin, the Tripartite Slayer. The only person to have ever reached the top rank in all three towers, the overlord of this planet. If Liang Chen wanted to get his hands on the fragment of the Lightning God Physique technique, he might have to fight her at some point. At that time, the more he knew about her the better his odds were. Yin Weijing opened his eyes wide, a rather strange sight since his race had naturally large eyes with red sclera and crimson pupils.
"Ya don't know a lot about the Tripartite Slayer? Ya really ought to pick up a book at times, readin is good for ya. The Tripartite Slayer is the overlord o' this entire planet, strongest and noblest person around. Whenever someone on this planet starts approaching the Thousand-Souls Spirit Emperor realm they always end up leaving to explore the wider universe, but the Tripartite Slayer is on the brink of breaking into the Thousand-Souls Spirit Emperor realm but still remains on this planet. She watches over us and guards the planet, making sure that no harm can come to it. And not only has she almost reached the Thousand-Souls Spirit Emperor realm, but she is also on the verge of reaching the Thousand-Hearts Fiend Emperor realm, having received a special body cultivation technique after becoming the Tripartite Slayer. She's the goal that all cultivators on this planet strive to reach, both in strength and nobility."
Yin Weijing's eyes gleamed as he spoke, admiration clearly visible in them. Liang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he heard Yin Weijing talk about Sun Cailin. She was on the verge of breaking into the Thousand-Hearts Fiend Emperor and the Thousand-Souls Spirit Emperor realms meaning that she was on the verge of reaching the Transcended Immortal realm in body and soul cultivation. If he had to beat her to receive the full Lightning God Physique technique, things would become very difficult.
But there was no point in worrying about that now. After all, it wasn't certain that he had to beat her to receive the technique, he might be lucky and never have to even meet her. He and Yan Ling continued to chat with Yin Weijing, occasionally talking with some of the other passengers as well. No bandits were foolish enough to attempt ambushing the Tripartite Ship, so their journey was smooth and unimpeded.
Two days before they arrived at Ten Thousand Hearts city, Yin Weijing suggested that they leave the Tripartite Ship for a moment, wanting to show Liang Chen and Yan Ling a stunning sight. They had nothing to lose, and Yan Ling really wanted to see this 'stunning sight' so they agreed and left the ship for a short moment with him. And once they left the ship, Liang Chen saw a sight that filled him with immense awe, and even some dread.
The ship was currently at the top of a hill, a small forest spreading out in front of them at the foot of the hill. In the distance, they were able to see Ten Thousand Hearts city, as well as the two other cities that connected with it and formed a triangle. But what caught Liang Chen and Yan Ling's attention were the three massive towers located at the center of the cities.
Each tower looked to be at least two or three thousand kilometers in width and were at least three times as tall. Each tower was ivory white in color and ended in a sharp tip that pierced the cloudless sky, an incredibly dominating sight. But it wasn't the sheer size of the towers that shocked them, it was what the towers were made of. Each tower was made from a single fang, they weren't shaped like fangs, they were fangs. Just what sort of monster could have fangs this large, just how large mustn't the Demonic beast that shed these fangs be? And just how did such fangs end up here? Had someone actually killed such a Demonic beast and placed the fangs here?
He asked Yin Weijing, but even he had no idea where these fangs had come from, they had apparently been here as long as recorded history. If anyone knew where they came from, they hadn't made that information public. They could only put the question aside for now, catching up with the ship and entering it again. In two days they would reach Ten Thousand Hearts city, and then Liang Chen and Yan Ling would enter the towers to join the bloody arenas.
As some of you might have noticed, yes my chapters have been a bit delayed lately. I am a bit under the weather, so I am having a bit of trouble finishing the chapters on time. I hope to be back in top shape sometime next week, but until then some chapters might end up delayed, so I hope that you will forgive me.
The last two days swiftly passed, all the passengers on the Tripartite Ship tense with excitement and hope. Battles in the arenas were bloody and deadly, unless your opponent was a merciful person you would be killed when you lost. There was no telling how many of the current passengers would still be alive after a year, or even just a month within those towers.
Ten Thousand Hearts city was incredibly large, it had to be if it wanted to house one of the three grand towers after all. As Liang Chen and Yan Ling learned, the tower in Ten Thousand Hearts city was given the name Endless Heart Tower, while the two other towers were Heaven Reaching Souls Tower and God Piercing Fang Tower.
Even though the city was called Ten Thousand Hearts city and was considered the main city of the Fiendgod race, it was home to countless others from the Undead race and the White Orchid race. This led to the city having a very varied architecture, with very few of the houses resembling each other. Some were made using a strange black stone and resembled castles, others were simple wooden shacks, while some were even built using the bones of Demonic beasts.
The yellow-brick paved roads that ran through the city were very wide, able to fit at least three carriages side by side, making it easy for many people to traverse them at once. Surrounding the entire city was a black metal wall that was almost 50 meters in height and two meters thick, covered in countless runes to strengthen it. At the far end of the city, there was a road that stretched beyond the wall, connecting the city with the two other distant cities.
And of course, the centerpiece of the city was Endless Heart Tower, the lower part of its ivory frame carved with delicate and exquisite decorations that depicted a battle that not even the oldest history book had information about. The tiger-shaped Tripartite Ship easily moved past the large gates that were built into the wall, quietly following the roads and approaching the tower. The citizens of this city knew what this ship was so there was no one that blocked its path.
The ship arrived in front of the tower, stopping in front of two massive gates carved directly into the tower. The doors to the ship opened and the various passengers stepped out, looking at the massive tower in silent awe while the gates in front of them were slowly opening. Once the gates were fully opened, Liang Chen and Yan Ling could see several people from the various races standing ready inside the towers, each one carrying a small book as they called out to the people who had just left the ship.
"Any new arrivals must come over here and give us their names, they will then have to participate in a quick group battle to showcase their strength."
The passengers who had left the ship started to flood into the tower, Yan Ling dashing ahead and taking care of delivering her own and Liang Chen's name. Since she handled the signing up, Liang Chen swept his surroundings with a few glances, inspecting the first floor of the tower.
The first floor was so vast that Liang Chen was unable to see the end of it, so he found it likely that the entire fang that was this tower was completely hollowed out. He could see a ceiling painted to resemble a clear blue sky above him, they had even used an array to simulate the sun so that they could illuminate the inside. Past that blue sky was likely the second floor of the tower, just waiting for new people to reach it.
He could see a large number of people from the various races spread out through the surroundings, countless buildings dotting the area. The inside of the tower was like a city of its own, the only thing setting this city apart from the city outside the tower being the various arenas spread through the area. Even from his position at the entrance Liang Chen was able to hear screams come from the arena, the scent of sweet blood tickling his nose. A few minutes after she dashed ahead of him, Yan Ling came skipping back.
"Alright, I've finished the sign-up and asked a few questions about the tower. After we participate in this one group battle we can live inside any of the houses in the area. If anyone else wants the same house as us, we have to defend the house on our own. This place is kinda like a small city, so there are markets spread around, with the currency being the same Gibbings used everywhere else. On the four lowest floors, we have to take part in at least one battle every year, if we don't, we get kicked out of the tower. If we want to reach the second floor, we have to win 10 straight battles, with each subsequent floor requiring double the wins of the previous one. To go from the second to the third floor requires 20 wins, then 40, then 80, then 160, then 320, then 640, and then 1280 wins to finally reach the last floor, the mythical 9th floor where the top 100 rankers live. It's pretty excessive so I can see why there has only ever been one person to reach the top rank in all three towers."
The towers were somewhat lawless areas, with killing, robbing, and raping a very common thing in the streets. The only places were fighting was forbidden were the various marketplaces spread around, as well as some special areas on the higher floors. But even though the towers were this lawless, there were still some rules. The main rules were that one had to fight at least once a year on the lower floors and that there were places where fighting was forbidden. As for who enforced these rules, that would be the Tower Kings, the subordinates of the Tripartite Slayer. They have been given special authority and a corps of elite soldiers they can command as they wished. As for who enforced these rules before Sun Cailin became the Tripartite Slayer, that was so long ago that no one remembered any longer.
After telling Liang Chen everything she had learned after asking the one who noted down her name, Yan Ling led him to the closest arena, a simple stone stage surrounded by a raised seating area. There were already quite a few other people on the stone stage, almost 100 people in total, and all of them had cultivation around the early or middle stage of the Heaven's Gate realm. There were a few people Liang Chen recognized amongst the 100, but only one he had ever actually talked to, Yin Weijing.
There were also a few people that Liang Chen didn't recognize, so they likely arrived at the tower in a different fashion, or by using a different Tripartite Ship. The female from the White Orchid race that had noted down Yan Ling, and thus Liang Chen's names was standing at the side of the stage, nodding her head when she saw the two of them.
"With the arrival of these two, we have gathered the necessary 100 people. You will now start a battle amongst yourself, and only the 10 people standing in the end will be allowed to actually enter the tower today. Anyone else that survives will have to wait at least half a year before they can try again."
They had earlier called it a chance to showcase their strength, but this group battle was nothing more than a way to weed out the weak. There were thousands of new people arriving at each tower every day, if they had to house all of these people then even the towers would run out of space. Thus, a system like this had been set into place, at least somewhat limiting the number of people that entered the tower every day.
The atmosphere on the circular stone stage immediately grew tense after the woman finished talking, the 100 people standing on it eyeing each other and doing their best to come up with a plan. While the others were wracking their brains to come up with a plan, Yan Ling simply stretched her arms high and let out a highly exaggerated yawn.
"Ah man, I am beat after having to do all that sparring. Little Freak, I'm too tired to do anything, I'll leave it all to you."
The moment she finished her sentence, she leaned herself against Liang Chen's back, resting her chin on his shoulder and putting all her weight on him. Clearly, she had no intentions of even moving during this first group battle. But she could not be blamed, the people on this stone stage were all around the early or middle stage of the Heaven's Gate realm. With how strong she and Liang Chen were, no one on this stage could challenge them.
Her actions and words, as if she didn't put any of the people on the stage in her eyes, caused her to receive quite a few annoyed glares. Liang Chen could only look at her from the corner of his eye, giving a light shake of his head.
"Of course, just dump all the hard work on me."
Tired after sparring so much? What she had done wasn't sparring, it was bullying, plain and simple. There was no way something like that would tire her out. Hearing his retort, Yan Ling let out a light snort and poked his cheek, giggling slightly.
"Of course, that's what a brute like you is good for after all."
Liang Chen once again shook his head and let out a light breath. He cast his gaze onto the other people on the stage, who were currently looking at the light-hearted chat the two of them were having with rather angry expressions. It seemed like they weren't too fond of being disregarded like that.
They locked eyes for a quick second, seemingly coming to the mutual conclusion that they would get rid of Liang Chen and Yan Ling before they properly started this group battle. The others here might be their opponents, but at least they didn't disregard them like Liang Chen and Yan Ling did. Besides, in the end, only 10 of them would be standing anyway, so it didn't matter if they teamed up at the start to get rid of a few people.
With those thoughts in mind, they drew their weapons and prepared to attack Liang Chen and Yan Ling like a furious tidal wave. But the moment they tried to take their first steps, several of them collapsed to the ground, blood pouring out of their orifices. Before they even had the time to properly react to what just happened, more people among them started to collapse, their blood staining the stage.
Before long, the only people left standing were Liang Chen, Yan Ling, and Yin Weijing. Everyone else had collapsed and died, not quite sure just what it was that ended up killing them. Liang Chen gave a quick wave of his hand, storing the corpses into his interspatial ring to save them for future cultivation. He then turned to the woman who had started the battle.
"Alright, can we leave now?"
Liang Chen had started spreading his poison the moment he and Yan Ling stepped onto the stage, mixing it with his Anima Essence so that it could even deal with the people from the Undead race. Even if these people were all weaker than him and Yan Ling, there was no telling what might happen in such a chaotic group battle, dealing with them all at once was the best option.
Yin Weijing, the only person other than Liang Chen and Yan Ling who was still standing, felt a horrid chill crawl down his spine. When Yan Ling said that they'd regret making her cry, insinuating that Liang Chen would get revenge for her, a small part of him thought that she was just bragging about her man. But seeing the scene in front of him, how could he not realize how wrong he had been?
Never before in his life had he thanked his cheerful and open nature more than he did now, as it was this nature that had caused him to strike up a chat with Yan Ling and Liang Chen to begin with, causing him to slightly hesitate when everyone was showing their killing intent. He also knew that it was this hesitation that ended up saving his life right now.
The woman in charge of the battle was clearly a professional, as her only reaction upon seeing the scene was a short twitch of her eyebrow before she calmly responded.
"Yes, you may leave now. The winners of this battle are Yin Weijing, Scourge King, and Wolf Queen."
Liang Chen was just about to start walking down the stage when he suddenly stopped. The names she had just used for him and Yan Ling caught his attention. And remembering that it was Yan Ling who had volunteered quite rapidly to sign up their names, he couldn't help but turn his head slightly to glance at Yan Ling, who was still leaning against his back and resting her head on his shoulder. When his eyes landed on her, he immediately noticed her smirk, which he knew could only mean one thing.
"Aren't the names nice? King and Queen? They fit us quite nicely, don't they?"
Liang Chen wanted to say something, but faced with her smirk he could only let out a defeated sigh. It seemed like not even now, after ending up on a completely unknown planet, would he be able to escape that embarrassing title he had received. Since things had come to this, he decided to get revenge in a way only he could.
He spun around slightly and picked up Yan Ling before she got the chance to react, lifting her up into a princess carry. He then started to walk down the stone stage so that they could look for a house, all the while ignoring her protests and continuing to carry her in a princess carry. She was good at teasing, but public displays of affection like this were still quite embarrassing to her so it was the perfect way for Liang Chen to get his revenge.
