Chapter 1215: Understanding the Catacombs
Liana saw the anger on Roan’s face and thought that it was because she was insisting on buying him. “So, you like this Demon Bird that much, huh? However, I can’t give up! There has to be something that will convince you to part ways with it.”
Roan’s mouth twitched in response. Since when did he like this idiot bird? If anything, Roan wanted to kick this guy away right now. He was truly regretting bringing Kentucky into this journey.
Roan looked around, and all the attention was focused on him, Liana, and Kentucky. That truly went against what he wanted. After all, Liana was considered one of the big fishes heading into the Demising Catacombs this time around. Even Hedoi seemed to be slightly interested in him. Of course, because Roan changed his appearance, no one found out who he really was as of yet.
Roan could only keep trying to get rid of Liana like that. “I already sai-“
“Alright, that’s enough.” Suddenly, another voice interrupted their discussion. It immediately caught the attention of all participants there. That’s because several elders of the Sacred Land began to enter the Teleportation Hall. “Stop fighting over a Demon Beast. This is not time for that. If you still want it, then you can talk again after this event is over.” The one who talked was Elder Tiramisu, an Evil Path cultivator. Most of the other elders were also the same or Yin Energy experts. Since the danger zone was related to this point, it made sense that they were the ones taking care of it.
Liana obviously didn’t like it, but she did let Kentucky go. However, it was obvious that she hadn’t given up just yet.
After that, Tiramisu looked at the formation masters in the room before asking, “Is the teleport formation ready? The participating countries should be waiting for us to open the danger zone already.”
“Yes, elder.” One of the formation masters there immediately confirmed. “We can send you over at any time.”
“Good!” Tiramisu turned his attention to the disciples before saying, “All of you, on the teleport formation, now! We are leaving straight away.”
Sure enough, all the disciples immediately followed Tiramisu’s orders. Quite a few of them had their own demon beasts, but the teleport formation was more than big enough to fit everyone and still have space to spare. The teleport formation then activated soon after.
*Vup!*
With a flash of silver light, the Sacred Land’s entourage disappeared from the Sacred Land.
The Demising Catacombs was located on the north side of the continent. However, that didn’t mean that the further north one went, the colder it was. Such laws didn’t apply in the Realm of Gods. If anything, the place was quite warm.
As soon as the disciples appeared on the other side of the teleport formation, they noticed the enormous wall in front of them. It went up to the skies and expanded to the sides as far as they could see. Without a doubt, that was the Demising Catacombs’ protection formation that was only open for a month every year.
Other than that, the Sacred Land disciples noticed many, many more cultivators in the area. Only the Sacred Land could open the Demising Catacombs, so they were all waiting for them. The number of Evil Path and Yin Energy expert cultivators was truly enormous, though. The Sacred Land brought around 550 disciples, but they didn’t count for even a single percent of the total number of participants.
That didn’t intimidate Tiramisu and the other elders, though. Unless one wanted to have their background wiped out, no one would mess up with the Sacred Land’s entourage. Well, at least not while they were outside the Demising Catacombs. “Listen up, brats. Once you enter the Demising Catacombs, anything is valid. Even if all countries focus on wiping you out, no one will say a thing. It has always been like this. Of course, you can also attack and kill anyone you want in there. It’s quite the fun place,” Tiramisu told them with a cold smile. An Evil Path cultivator through and through.
“You are all here for different issues. Some just want a high concentration of Yin Energy to cultivate some new skills. Others took several tasks in the Mission Hall that can only be accomplished in this place. Obviously, there are those who are here just for the pleasure of killing. There are also those who are here to steal items. After all, one of the fastest ways to make a profit is robbing other’s corpses. Remember, all of this is 100% valid, and no one will try to seek revenge for you once the Demising Catacombs close.”
“But I must remind you once more that this place will only be open for a month. That’s because the Dark Element inside will start to corrupt your bodies to the point of no return if we allow you to stay longer than that. One more thing, there’s no lack of danger in this place. The thing you should pay attention to is the Yin Ghosts, remnants of the souls of experts that died a long time ago. Every year, their numbers increase with the death of idiots like you lot. They feed on living being souls, so you better not underestimate how crazy they can be when they’re out on the hunt.”
“Last but not least, there is the yearly Sacred Land Prize of the Demising Catacombs. The strongest Yin Ghosts are able to form a Yin Ghost Core. Anyone who brings a Yin Ghost Core by the end will receive a hundred thousand Merit Points for each one. Of course, this prize only applies to Sacred Land disciples. We have nothing to do with the other countries participating in this thing. With that being said, you can also steal their Yin Ghost Cores if you feel like it, and so can they steal yours. After all, they also have their uses for the Yin Ghost Cores.”
Many eyes lit up right there, especially the people from the Core Sector of the Sacred Land. After all, one hundred thousand Merit Points meant that they could buy two Rank Three Divine Stones!
