Chapter 1606

The guards outside Imperial Sky City were just as bored as before. They had ninth layer strength, but because of their status as guards, they didn't have the right to fight and could only guard this place.

Actually, guarding this place was completely meaningless because the entire Battlefield of Despair had a very clear division.

This was the place where seventh-layer cultivators and foreign tribes battled. Although there were no restrictions on eighth or ninth-layer cultivators, the two sides had already formed a tacit understanding after battling for so long. Very few people would break the rules and come here.

And once a human broke the rules and used their higher cultivation to slaughter foreign races, the foreign race experts in the depths of the Dax Plains would probably come out.

It was said that there was also a huge city in the depths of the Dax Plains. However, no humans could reach there because it was filled with Dax foreign race experts.

The Battlefield of Despair was a real world, and it was as big as a world. There were many cities in it, and the Imperial Sky Region only occupied three of them. Imperial Sky City was one of them.

The guards here were very bored. Other than guarding the gate, they were evaluating the other adventurers. Occasionally, they would call out one or two scum.

For example, right now, there were quite a few scum rushing out of the city and flying into the distance.

"I wonder which little fellow is going to be unlucky. These scum, we really need to find someone to teach them a lesson."

A guard fiercely spat at the adventurers who were rushing out. This person was the guard who had appraised Zi Chen as alive.

The scum kept leaving the city. They had been guarding this place for many years, so they naturally knew that they had found a fat sheep.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Not everyone came here willingly.

They were forcefully sent here, so they don't have the guts to kill foreign races. If they want to live, they can only kill humans. "A guard said casually.

Indeed, not everyone came to the Battlefield of Despair willingly. Some were forced.

For example, if there were too many human casualties in the Battlefield of Despair compared to the foreign races, then the Imperial Sky Region would ask the seven prefectures to forcefully send some people in.

The seven prefectures would then send this order to the one hundred and eight cities, and the city lords of the one hundred and eight cities would then put pressure on those families.

For cultivators who pursued the path of the strong, the Battlefield of Despair was a place where they could become strong.

But for the majority of cultivators, the Battlefield of Despair was an existence comparable to hell.

Thus, the clans that received the order threw some of the unimportant people or people with no potential into the Battlefield of Despair.

Just as the guards were talking about those scumbags, they suddenly saw those scumbags reappear in front of them.

"It's over so quickly? That fat sheep is dead, and the spoils have been distributed?"

The guard was startled. One must know that after the scum joined hands to kill the fat sheep, they would also kill each other for the spoils of war. If things went wrong, one or two of them would die.

"That's not right. Look at them. All of them look overly frightened. Could it be that they have encountered a foreign race?" Another guard spoke out. Following that, the others all looked on with vigilance.

The guard who spoke first said, "That's impossible. What is this place? If the alien race dares to come here, are they going to attack the city?"

"Devil, the devil is here!"

From afar, the guards heard the hysterical screams.

This made the guards even more puzzled. This was the Battlefield of Despair, so where did the demons come from?

Could it be that some other outsider race had successfully opened up another tunnel and come to this place?

The guard's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to step forward and ask. At the same time, he signaled the others to be on guard.

If it was really a new alien race, they definitely wouldn't care about this Imperial Sky City.

Suddenly, the guard's arm was pulled. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"There's no need to go, it's a human."

"A human?" The guard was startled and looked forward.

Behind the group of scumbags who were fleeing in fear, a person appeared. This person was carrying a beast that was several times his size on his shoulder. The guard immediately recognized that it was the Dax Black Bear.

A complete Dax Black Bear could indeed be considered a fat sheep.

The person carrying the Dax Black Bear was a young man. The guards immediately recognized this young man as the one who carried the Dax Black Wolf back then.

However, today, he wasn't carrying a wolf but a bear. Apart from that, his chest and back were filled with shining weapons. There were at least ten of them.

The young man carried the Dax Black Bear and walked over with ease. In front of the young man, the group of scumbags was crawling in panic.

Even though they had already run a thousand meters into the safe zone, they still didn't stop and continued to flee. They ran all the way to the city gates and arrived in front of the nine layers of guards. Only then did they collapse one after another, their faces pale.

After they were safe, they turned around and looked at Zi Chen. Their eyes were no longer filled with greed. Instead, they were filled with fear, a deep sense of fear.

The guards were very surprised because they were very clear that the young man was only at the early stage of the seventh layer.

However, there were dozens of scumbags and they were all terrified to this extent. One of the guards looked at a seventh layer cultivator and asked, "What did you guys see just now?"

"Demon, we saw a demon. It was too terrifying. One slash, one kill. Every move was beheading." The seventh layer cultivator's eyes were still filled with lingering fear.

Zi Chen walked over with the Dax Black Bear. There wasn't any sharp aura around him, but these adventurers who hadn't entered the city yet felt extremely oppressed.

Zi Chen raised his head and glanced at the 67 people who were lucky enough to survive. He said indifferently, "I hope you guys can call more people over next time."

Among the 67 people, there were three in the middle stage of the seventh layer. However, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment.

Zi Chen turned around and smiled kindly at the guards before walking into the city.

It was Schenker's store again. When the old man saw Zi Chen carrying so many weapons, he was obviously shocked. "You went to rob people too?"

The Dax Black Bear smashed onto the floor with a bang, causing the entire store to tremble. Zi Chen said while taking off his weapons, "Killing people doesn't give me any contribution points. I'm not that bored."

Old Schenker glanced at the weapons and said, "It seems like you'll be safe after entering the city."

"Maybe!"

Zi Chen placed dozens of weapons on the counter and said to Old Schenker, "Come, count them."

The old man glanced at the weapons in disdain and said, "I'm not that bored. You went out for half a month this time. Don't tell me you only got these things?"

"Of course not. How can these things be enough to repay your 055 Spirit Crystals?"

Zi Chen chuckled. Then, he took out his storage bag and started to pour out the items.

Numerous beating hearts floated above the counter.

When his gaze fell on the hearts, a satisfied smile appeared on Old Schenker's face. "Not a bad harvest. It seems like your battle prowess has increased greatly."

"It's all thanks to the Boots of Acceleration."

"To be able to obtain such a harvest in just half a month, it seems like you've already tried to enter the Dax Plains."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, these were all killed in the periphery."

"The periphery? How is that possible?" The old man looked at Zi Chen in astonishment.

"I don't know why either. In short, the number of foreign races in the periphery suddenly increased. In just half a month, I've used up all my things.

Hurry up and help me count my gains. I want to have a good sleep, "Zi Chen urged.

The old man no longer cared about the Dax Plains. After nodding, his gaze fell on the hearts. He carefully examined them one by one and finally gave a price.

They were all early-stage seventh-layer, but the price varied from twenty to fifty. The highest price the old man gave was forty, while the rest were between twenty-five and thirty-five.

As for the four mid-stage seventh-layer hearts, the old man gave a price of two hundred and sixty, three hundred, three hundred, three hundred, and three hundred, respectively. The previous price of five hundred didn't appear.

Adding up everything, including the black bear and the weapons, the old man gave a total of two thousand two hundred and eighty-five points. The old man generously gave Zi Chen two thousand three hundred points.

These things could actually be exchanged for two thousand points. Zi Chen was quite surprised.

After taking away the five hundred he owed him, he still had one thousand eight hundred points left.

"What else do you want?" the old man asked.

"Inner armor. An inner armor that can recover energy," Zi Chen said.

The old man frowned and said, "Every inner armor is expensive, and the one that recovers energy is ridiculously expensive. Are you sure you really want it?"

Zi Chen nodded without hesitation. "If I can recover a bit of energy, I'll have a chance to live. Here are one thousand three hundred crystals. If it's not enough, I'll owe you first. Here are two hundred spirit crystals. Give me some healing pills."

The old man was surprised. "You want all of them? You don't want healing powder?"

"No, healing powder's effects are too slow. In the time it takes to heal, I'll have killed quite a few Outsiders."

"Come back tomorrow evening."

Again, Zi Chen nodded and left. The old man began to deal with Zi Chen's things.

The next day, Zi Chen successfully obtained the inner armor. Its recovery effect was only five percent, but Zi Chen owed the old man a thousand spirit crystals.

This inner armor was already worth two thousand three hundred, but the old man still said it was a friendly price.

Zi Chen left that day, his destination still the Dax Plains. After leaving the city, he nodded kindly at the guards, then smiled savagely at those scum.

Half a month later, Zi Chen returned again. With a Outsiders' heart as bait, he killed thirteen people.

After resting for two days, Zi Chen set off again. When he returned for the third time, he used three hearts as bait, but no one dared to have any ideas about Zi Chen.

Zi Chen went to the Dax Plains four times and killed over a hundred Outsiders, which could be exchanged for a thousand spirit crystals.

After paying a certain price, the Wang Family finally sent the second wave of cultivators into the Land of Despair. Since they appeared randomly, there was a high chance that they would reach Imperial Sky City alive.

When Zi Chen entered the Dax Plains for the fifth time, Zi Chen discovered that there were even more Outsiders here. He hadn't even reached the periphery and he already found them.

Therefore, Zi Chen didn't hold back and slaughtered them. Facing the attacks of five Outsiders, the black saber in Zi Chen's hand was still sharp.

After being stained with the blood of many Outsiders, the black saber in Zi Chen's hand finally received the approval of the Laws and a special effect appeared.
