Chapter 350: The Main God Space (6)

The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy stared at the white-clothed youth who had appeared. Not a speck of dust marred his clothes.

He narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't expect the Great Yin Dynasty to produce someone like you. So young, yet you've already reached the Grandmaster realm."

Within the Great Yin Dynasty, the martial path was divided into three realms: Postnatal, Innate, and Grandmaster.

These roughly corresponded to the Spirit Awakening, Spirit Gathering, and Spirit Vein realms in proper cultivation.

Even so, their so-called Grandmaster was far inferior to the true Spirit Vein realm.

The Nether Mansion had no shortage of Innate realm guest elders, yet none could threaten the youth before him. Only a legendary Grandmaster could manage that.

The entire Great Yin Dynasty had fewer than ten Grandmaster experts.

The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy pushed aside the woman in his arms and limped down from the high platform.

"I'll give you a chance. If you submit to this marquis, I can overlook the ants you killed."

He descended the stairs, looked up at the tall figure, and revealed a cold, bloodthirsty smile. "If you refuse, your head will hang in this hall."

Under the dim lighting, following his gaze upward revealed numerous terrified heads mounted at the top of the hall. The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy had tortured them in the most brutal ways, preserving their final moments of agony.

The gloomy hall sent chills down one's spine.

The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy smiled at the youth before him.

"You have three seconds to interest me. If you do, I'll consider leaving you with an intact corpse."

His expression turned icy.

A Grandmaster? So what?

In front of a divine artifact, even a Grandmaster could be slain.

In an instant, the Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy thrust out several rapid strikes.

What horrified him was that each thrust clearly landed on the youth's body, yet felt as if it had struck empty air.

Unwilling to accept it, he attacked dozens more times, but could not harm the youth in the slightest.

"Three seconds are up."

The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy tried to retreat, but it was already too late. He saw the mysterious youth extend one hand and slap down lightly.

It was like swatting a fly.

The Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy's consciousness vanished.

Su Chen toyed with the dagger in his hand. It was pitch black, with a blade patterned like rat teeth and a dark crystal embedded in the hilt.

It was a middle-grade magical artifact.

Su Chen glanced at the display panel. The collection progress for the twelve divine artifacts had gone from 0 to 1.

He swept his gaze over the Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy, who had been slapped to death and completely drained dry.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Su Chen left the palace directly and headed to the next location.

Not long after Su Chen departed, a blood-clothed youth arrived at the scene. He was surprised to find the place empty, with only scattered armor and broken weapons remaining. Not a single corpse could be seen.

"Someone got here first," the blood-clothed youth muttered, a trace of interest flashing in his eyes.

He entered the hall. Apart from a group of women who had lost their minds, everyone else had died cleanly. Not even a full corpse remained, and one of the twelve divine artifacts—the Nether Erosion Fang—had vanished. This confirmed that the killer was also from the Main God Space.

"To possess strength comparable to the seventh layer of Spirit Vein or higher in such a short time… He probably came from some major world, just like me, and entered the Main God Space due to special circumstances."

The blood-clothed youth smelled prey. In his heart, he had already sentenced to death the person who had stolen his intended spoils.

These points would belong to him alone.

What surprised him, however, was that no matter how he tortured the women, none of them knew who had killed the Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy. They did not even know the killer's appearance, or whether the person was male or female.

...

News of the Nether Erosion Divine Artifact Envoy's death spread quickly, along with the disappearance of his divine artifact.

The entire Great Yin Dynasty was shaken.

Before people could recover from the shock, reports of more deaths followed: the Profound Mountain Divine Artifact Envoy, the Soul Cracking Divine Artifact Envoy… One after another, the divine artifact envoys fell.

Half of the Twelve Divine Artifact Envoys died in quick succession.

The remaining envoys soon realized someone was hunting them. Anyone who traveled alone would die.

They had no choice but to gather together for safety and head to the capital.

"That was a wise decision," Su Chen thought with approval upon learning that the surviving envoys had all assembled in the capital.

How considerate. He no longer needed to travel across the land searching for them one by one. With everyone gathered in one place, it would be much easier to finish them all at once.

Su Chen set off for the royal capital.

On the other side, within the capital, the remaining six divine artifact envoys had gathered, along with the blood-clothed youth.

After arriving late at several locations, the blood-clothed youth had a sudden idea: why not reach the capital first and wait for the person behind the killings to walk into his trap?

He arrived and, relying on his strength, easily became the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yin Dynasty.

At the same time, he learned the secrets of this world.

...

Su Chen headed straight for the Great Yin royal capital. In just a few days, he arrived at the imperial palace.

"It's him! He has finally shown himself!"

The moment Su Chen strode openly into the palace, the news reached the remaining six divine artifact envoys.

Thousands of soldiers surged forward and surrounded him. These soldiers were well-equipped, but their faces were dark and their eyes bloodthirsty. Each possessed considerable strength, comparable to Postnatal realm experts in the martial world. As they moved, they formed a terrifying military array filled with roars of tigers and dragons—an array that did not belong to this world and could allow them to surround and kill even a Spirit Vein realm expert.

Six figures appeared together, each holding a fearsome weapon. They occupied six different positions outside the array and stared coldly at Su Chen, as if he were already a dead man.

They expected the ambushed youth to look terrified.

Instead, the young man remained perfectly calm.

"Gathering together saves me quite a few extra steps."

A burly middle-aged man holding a long halberd coiled with a black dragon shouted, "You thief! You're on the brink of death and still dare to act so arrogantly!"

Black lightning filled the sky.

Su Chen smiled.

With a casual wave of his hand, black qi swirled around him and spread in all directions.

Anyone touched by the black qi vanished instantly.

A bolt of lightning tore through the black current as the burly man wielding the halberd charged forward.

Su Chen simply slapped out lightly with his palm.

In the eyes of the other five divine artifact envoys, the Sky Vault Divine Artifact Envoy—who possessed the strongest offensive power—split apart and was devoured by the black qi.

All their careful preparations and schemes looked laughably weak before absolute strength. A single light slap had resolved everything.

Four of the divine artifact envoys had already died at Su Chen's hands. Only the one with the strongest defense remained—the Mountain Suppressing Divine Artifact Envoy. The once lofty envoy now curled up on the ground, covering his eyes and ears.

"Don't see me… Don't see me…"

He treated Su Chen like some terrifying monster.

When the sounds around him finally faded, the Mountain Suppressing Divine Artifact Envoy cautiously lowered his hands. He saw a familiar face.

Then he lost consciousness.

All twelve divine artifacts had fallen into Su Chen's hands.

Su Chen did not choose to return to the Main God Space. He looked toward the depths of the palace.

Someone there was scheming against him… and they were from the Main God Space?

Su Chen walked deeper into the palace.
