Chapter 800: Beginning; Blood-Stained Place
The huge craft that looked like a giant monster barreled through a dark cosmos. Luo Yunyang and the others were interacting while an aged man sat in a quiet room at the top of the ship drinking wine.
That's right, he was drinking wine and having a side dish of some sort of beans. The old man, who looked very intoxicated, put down the wine bowl after popping a red bean into his mouth.
"This is a bunch of vile bugs. How repulsive!" A faint smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself.
"Oh well, it's an opportunity for those young fellows to do something. After all, Hong Meng Sacred Hall isn't a place that cultivates mediocrity."
He then issued an order to the flying craft. Instantly, a mission appeared on the communication devices of Luo Yunyang and the others.
"Slay the Mysterious Underworld Dark Hunters!"
The number of the Mysterious Underworld Dark Hunters was unknown. The strength of the Mysterious Underworld Dark Hunters was also unknown. The position of the Mysterious Underworld Dark Hunters was within 100,000 miles...
Luo Yunyang frowned as he looked at the mission. There wasn't any information about this task, and the conditions were rather stingy.
However, this was definitely a test set by Hong Meng Sacred Hall. Although those who failed might not necessarily get kicked out of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, they would probably lose some huge benefits.
"First-Level Heavenly Venerate Hunter, 1 Hong Meng Point; Second-Level Heavenly Venerate Hunter, 10 Hong Meng Points; Third-Level Heavenly Venerate Hunter, 100 Hong Meng Points..."
Luo Yunyang still wasn't too sure what Hong Meng Points were. However, if Hong Meng Points were some form of reward, Luo Yunyang guessed that they would be rather important in Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
The point value of the reward of a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate Hunter was terrifying. However, if anyone present were to encounter a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate, they wouldn't be thinking about obtaining these Hong Meng Points but rather how far they'd have to run.
"In a minute, everyone will leave the ship and disperse. Good luck!"
Although this seemed like a good wish, it was a message that made one's insides feel chilly, like a cold joke at the end of an order.
"I never thought that we would get new tasks that quickly. Ha ha ha... I thought that competition with everyone would begin after we entered Hong Meng Sacred Hall. I never imagined that it would be starting now," said a boorish-looking man with a metallic ring in his voice.
Information about this man went through Luo Yunyang's mind. "Zhen Tianming, disciple of the Qianyuan Path Sect. It's rumored that he was born with the Origin Stem Metal Divine Blood, so anything that falls into his hands is an outstanding divine weapon."
He ranked second on the Earth Roll!
However, it was said that he wasn't very satisfied with his position.
Although Luo Yunyang was unperturbed, he sensed a number of passing glances. Clearly, these people had marked him as a target.
There were five positions on the Hong Meng Heaven Roll. Each person that obtained a spot would be able to get the greatest resources. Plus, these spots weren't fixed for all eternity.
As Luo Yunyang was quietly watching the void, he saw a huge gray staff appear in that calm and soundless void.
The appearance of this huge staff was somewhat sudden. As it appeared, a planet the size of at least ten suns instantly disintegrated.
Many figures rushed out of that planet. Although these figures were extremely fast, Luo Yunyang was able to determine their origin with one look.
It was the Mysterious Underworld Race!
The Mysterious Underworld Race had actually been in the domain of the Human Tribe and killed humans for a Yuanhui before this talent had been produced. This made Luo Yunyang feel that the might of the Mysterious Underworld Race was a pressing issue.
While those figures flew out, someone shouted in a trembling, maniacal voice, "Why is it you, Yuan Venerate Everlasting Sky? Why is it you?"
Luo Yunyang only knew one Yuan Venerate, Yuan Venerate Wanliu, who was his master.
Now, based on the voice of this Mysterious Underworld powerhouse, Luo Yunyang could sense a deep fear for Yuan Venerate Everlasting Sky.
There was no response. Luo Yunyang knew that the reason there wasn't a reply wasn't because of fear, but rather because Yuan Venerate Everlasting Sky simply considered it beneath him to even bother.
Meanwhile, Luo Yunyang suddenly felt his body move and appeared in the dark cosmos.
Compared to the various Great Cosmoses filled with majestic vital energy, the situation in this dark cosmos was the exact opposite. This dark cosmos was like a massive black hole sucking away the spiritual energy of all living organisms.
Thus, even hated enemies wouldn't battle in the dark cosmos under normal circumstances, as this sort of combat would make one suffer more often than not.
"Damned Mysterious Underworld Beings! To hell with all of you!" As this furious bellow was heard, a violet figure rushed frantically at the fleeing Mysterious Underworld powerhouses.
The violet halberd in his hand was waved and dozens of violet streaks trapped 10 Mysterious Underworld Race Heavenly Venerates within it in an instant.
There were eight first-level Heavenly Venerates and two second-level Heavenly Venerates!
Anyone that could become a hunter was basically the cream of the crop within the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, at the moment, all of them looked terrified as they faced dozens of purple streaks.
With low growls, the 10 Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerates unleashed attacks simultaneously. Their techniques were different, but the murky gray aura wrapped around all of them like a sacred mountain.
Luo Yunyang didn't know what kind of technique this was, but the martialist at his side said solemnly, "Mysterious Underworld Race, Millennium River Mountain!"
As this person spoke, the dozens of purple streaks had already bombarded the gray mountain peak.
The peak crumbled instantly and a vast power scattered. The ten Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerates were turned into dust on the spot.
The violet halberd was like a flood dragon that weaved through the void and returned to the hands of a figure surrounded by a violet aura that extended for 3,000 miles. With his violet armor, this person looked like a god of war.
Luo Yunyang wasn't unfamiliar with this guy. He was Xuantian Zhaoxin, who was first on the Heaven Roll and had slain ten Heavenly Venerates in one move, including two second-level Heavenly Venerates!
Through Xuantian Zhaoxin's attack, Luo Yunyang could sense that Xuantian Zhaoxin's weapon probably wasn't inferior to the Minor Feather Sword he was holding.
It could even be said that the grade of that violet halberd was a level higher than the Minor Feather Sword he wielded.
"Xuantian Zhaoxin, let's have a competition." A voice spoke as Xuantian Zhaoxin was looking magnificent.
Two giant black-and-white disks flew out of the newcomer's hands as he spoke.
As the giant disks shimmered, each of them turned into 36 layers that were like two humongous grindstones that crushed towards over 20 frantically-fleeing Mysterious Underworld powerhouses.
Even though there was a level-two Heavenly Venerate entity amongst this group of Mysterious Underworld Beings, they were still obliterated by the giant black-and-white disk despite struggling with all their might.
"Supreme Yin Yang Disk!" someone exclaimed in astonishment. Meanwhile, the face of the person who unleashed the technique could be seen.
It was Yin Yang Zongzi!
Although Yin Yang Zongzi was just an attendant this time, that godly technique shocked many people. Any notion of looking down on Yin Yang Zongzi vanished at that moment.
Luo Yunyang was slightly unable to discern the grade of the Supreme Yin Yang Disk. However, his gut told him that this Supreme Yin Yang Disk wasn't any weaker than the purple halberd.
"Bring it on!" Xuantian Zhaoxin waved his violet halberd once again. The violet shadow of a dragon instantly turned into 365 paths that were clearly more powerful. The scope it enveloped widened as well.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Amidst what sounded like planets colliding, a beautiful figure exchanged nine punches with a Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate in the void.
Cracks appeared in the void as the third-level Heavenly Venerate crumbled.
This lady didn't seem pleased about killing a third-level Heavenly Venerate. There wasn't even half a smile on her icy face.
Li Jiuyue ranked second on the Heaven Roll and was one of the five females that had gotten into Hong Meng Sacred Hall this time.
Luo Yunyang wasn't watching the fights. His eyes had already discovered a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate that was currently fleeing.
Luo Yunyang had already been prepared to give up when he noticed the status of that Mysterious Underworld Fifth-Level Heavenly Venerate. Although the Hong Meng Points gained for taking down a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate would be great, anything that was hard to come by required more sacrifices.
Even though Luo Yunyang could use the fourth sword of the Sky Feather 13 Swords, there would still be a rather significant gulf between him and a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate that could use One Thought One Realm.
However, when Luo Yunyang discovered this fifth-level Heavenly Venerate, the attribute regulator in his mind quickly displayed the attributes of the fifth-level Heavenly Venerate.
Mind: 10, Constitution: 6
The other two attributes far exceeded Luo Yunyang's. However, the Mind and Constitution columns were rather low.
This meant that this fifth-level Heavenly Venerate basically had strength for one more attack. With this thought in mind, Luo Yunyang made a decision.
Yin Yang Zongzi, who had recalled his Supreme Yin Yang Disks once again, had his sights on a frantically-escaping fourth-level Heavenly Venerate now.
He smirked as he said, "Xuantian Zhaoxin, let's join forces once and split the Hong Mong Points equally for slaying this one. How does that sound?"
Xuantian Zhaoxin glanced at Yin Yang Zongzi and replied, "Alright!"
The two of them practically unleashed attacks at the same time. The Supreme Yin Yang Disks and that violet halberd smashed at the fourth-level Heavenly Venerate.
"Curse you!" The fourth-level Mysterious Underworld Venerate moved his arms and balls of light appeared in the void, splitting open the area where Xuantian Zhaoxin and Yin Yang Zongzi were in an instant.
Spatial Splitter!
However, this splitting power was instantly broken by the powerful attacks of those two. Yin Yang Zongzi coughed out a mouthful of blood when Xuantian Zhaoxin's violet halberd attacked in a frenzy before his two huge disks turned into a silver streak that shot at the enemy.
When the streak of light passed through, the fourth-level Heavenly Venerate was severed in half.
Yin Yang Zongzi turned his head to the sky and roared at the top of his lungs, as if whatever grievances he had were being vented at this very moment!
