Chapter 1358 - 1357: No-Life Road

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: No-Life Road

"I don’t quite understand. Is the Divine World truly so wicked? Is it so easy for ordinary people to die?"

"Honored guest, I can’t believe you’d say such naive words. In the Divine World, unless one breaks through to the Undying Divine Realm, there’s no saying how many years, decades, or centuries they can live without it. Under the Undying Divine, no one can claim they could survive that long."

"Give me a reason."

"For example, a Divine Country, one day if the Heaven-defying Divines or Infinite Divine get upset and suddenly cause destruction, do you think billions or even tens of billions can survive? Or if there’s a battle of powerful entities destroying the heavens and earth, do you think you won’t be affected? In such a world, a terrifying world, being able to live for hundreds of years, and to squander one’s youth and enjoy yourself in Qingyuan Divine Country is something many people are willing to do."

"Got it, you don’t need to mind. I used to live in a remote little place, unaware of these dangers. I understand now," Mu Chen said calmly. Now, he knew a bit about the general situation in the Divine World. This world was one of despair, yet also a world of prodigies and powerful beings. Unlike the Immortal World or Longevity World, the forces and powerful beings here might not be suitable at all. The Divine World is too vast and with so many strong entities, some forces can be annihilated in an instant.

"It’s good that you understand. But it’s not as terrifying as I’ve put it. Those who chose to sell their lives are all under the Demon Divine and are just talentless ants. Among these people, they are the most prone to die. Hearing about this place, naturally they like it here."

"So, many powerful figures with terrifying strength didn’t choose to sell their lives, did they?"

"Correct."

"Besides the peaceful end, is there any other place?" Mu Chen asked.

"Besides the peaceful end, there is the No-Life Road."

"No-Life Road, what does that mean?"

"Specifically I don’t know. According to legend, not more than five geniuses have ever come out of it. Think about it, from ancient times till now, countless individuals have entered Qingyuan Divine Country, at least the number is innumerable, yet not more than five have come out; think about how terrifying this No-Life Road must be."

"Is there no information at all about this No-Life Road?"

"None."

"Then I suppose, aren’t those who sold their lives the same ones who chose to enter the No-Life Road, seeking opportunities?"

"You’re very smart, that’s exactly it."

"Besides what I’ve asked, is there anything else I should know?"

"Logically, there isn’t."

"Well then, thank you for clearing it up, I’ll take my leave first."

"Wait, are you interested in joining our faction? I find you very interesting."

"What sort of interest?"

"You’re a disguised person, you can’t fool me, and you, aren’t you this person?" The beauty spoke while gathering an energy to appear, within which was a video of Mu Chen just recently battling a strong figure from the Annihilation Hall.

"News travels fast, but my strength is average at best, don’t be too interested."

"I’ve lived here for so many years, there’s no one I haven’t seen, you can’t fool me. You’re not simple—you’re quite mysterious."

"Beauty, then I’ll take your words as compliments. Is there anything else?"

"I hope you join my faction. You’re quite extraordinary, I hope to gain your help, as I wish to enter the No-Life Road soon."

"Joining you, what benefits would that bring?" Mu Chen asked.

"What benefits do you want?"

"Resources, countless cultivation resources," Mu Chen said seriously.

"Sure, this is a third of the resources here. See if you’re satisfied," the beauty said, tossing a ring to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took the ring, opened it to inspect everything inside, and found countless Divine Medicines, Divine Stones, and various cultivation items emerging from within, with energy fluctuating at least a hundred Slaughter Divine’s strength, at least sufficient for him to cultivate to the Rebirth Divine Peak. Though uncertain if it would be enough to reach the very peak, Mu Chen’s strength could at the very least greatly increase.

"I agree, but what do you need me to do?"

"Nothing really, just need mutual help if you go inside as well.’

"Of course, I will go in," Mu Chen said earnestly, not disdaining this so-called No-Life Road.

"Alright, then we have a deal. What’s your name?"

"Mu Chen. And you?"

"Sakura."

"Miss Sakura, then here’s to our pleasant cooperation. I still have things to deal with, so I’ll take my leave first."

"Wait, how can I contact you?"

"When are you setting out?"

"In about five days."

"Okay, in five days, I’ll return here."

"Alright."

Mu Chen didn’t say more, immediately traversed space, disappeared and left this place.

After Mu Chen left, two mysterious figures appeared. Both were clad in black robes making it hard to discern their appearances. As they appeared, they looked at Sakura and said, "Why are you trying to rope him in?"

"A person who dares to offend holistically, don’t you think they’re outstanding?"

"Outstanding, don’t forget, although very few can escape No-Life Road, many still survive within. No one seeks death, Annihilation Hall’s people must be within No-Life Road, you understand what I mean."

"What, are you afraid of Annihilation Hall?"

"Fewer enemies, more friends—isn’t that good?"

"Alright, you have your reasoning, but I have my way of doing things, I don’t need your pointing fingers, stand down!"

"Yes." The two had no choice and immediately disappeared.

"An interesting man surely isn’t simple, my intuition is quite accurate." Sakura said, then continued to sit down.

The departing Mu Chen quickly found a secluded area and sat cross-legged to refine energy. That’s how Mu Chen was; whatever power he had, he’d refine it, then break through to a higher Realm.

Just like that, time passed quickly, and more people outside became aware of Mu Chen, and countless bounties appeared at all which enticed more and more to join in searching for him.

Unfortunately, Mu Chen wished to hide away, and nobody could find him.

Two days later, many people thought Mu Chen had entered the No-Life Road; otherwise, there would be no reason they couldn’t find him. Eventually, even the Annihilation Hall basically gave up.

By the third day, Mu Chen finally opened his eyes, all the energy inside was thoroughly refined. Mu Chen’s Realm ascended to Rebirth Divine Peak, and his strength escalated at least to the Slaughter Divine Late Stage, approaching the Slaughter Divine Late Stage Peak, making him undeniably terrifying now.

"Finally broke through, increasingly fearless of those people, no longer afraid of the Slaughter Divine Peak."
