Bizarre Realm

After traversing tens of thousands of meters in the Inner Earth World, Shawn and his companions entered an extinct layer of magma. It somewhat resembled obsidian, with a dead silence in the vicinity, interrupted only by the slight pulsations of fleshy cavities in the darkness.

The Ugly Monkey seemed very familiar with this place and explained, "There are three main passages nearby."

"One leads to the abomination of dreams."

"Another leads to the ancient embryo controlling elemental chaos."

"The last one is a stillborn."

"We are now inside Lu-Kesu’s palace."

This was the first time Shawn had delved so deeply into the Inner Earth World. Within his range of mind perception, there were at least hundreds of legendary monsters, and some dormant vast wills were almost at the level of ancient evils.

The Wanderer was indeed skilled and courageous, daring to venture alone into the nest nurturing ancient embryos.

This place was possibly unknown to many native demigods.

The Ugly Monkey raised an eyebrow and said, "One pillar of flesh and blood is worth thousands of points of soul power. Raise your professional level first."

"Then we will figure out how to slay the ancient embryos."

With Shawn’s current strength, dealing with the pillars of flesh and blood was no longer as difficult as before. He quickly detected the vibrations of the ground, and in the moment a pillar emerged, his double mind spikes hit the target and shattered the enemy’s spiritual will.

The Ugly Monkey was right; one pillar of flesh and blood indeed possessed thousands of points of soul power.

"No rush!"

"There’s plenty more in this damned place! Even the Abyssal Blood War didn’t have so many legendary monsters!"

The Ugly Monkey grinned, skillfully cutting open a nearby wall of flesh and blood. Although not causing significant damage, it quickly attracted several pillars of flesh and blood. They emerged like worms, only to be instantly killed by Shawn one after another.

This was truly like picking chestnuts from the fire.

He and Shawn were currently inside the palace of an outer god nurturing ancient embryos. If they alarmed Lu-Kesu, who had invaded the Inner Earth World, they would face an enormous will close to planet level.

But indeed, the killing was exhilarating!

On the surface world, slaying a pillar of flesh and blood required attacking a corrupted nest. Here, simply destroying a portion of the flesh wall would summon nearby burrowing demon worms, pillars of flesh and blood, and other evil objects. Shawn could even gain soul power equivalent to slaying high-tier enemies just by tearing down a wall of flesh.

"Don’t worry."

"I’ve tested it. As long as we don’t attack the ancient embryo, it won’t awaken for now."

The expression in the Ugly Monkey’s eyes as he mentioned the ancient was different from others; there was no trace of fear, only a look of eager anticipation.

Even Shawn had not expected him to be bold enough to slay monsters and level up in the palace of an upper-position ancient embryo.

Just do it.

Having already entered the palace of an outer god level ancient, what more could Shawn worry about?

It indeed fulfilled the old saying—fortune favors the bold, while the timid starve.

The Inner Earth’s palace area that the natives couldn’t explore for hundreds of years, the Ugly Monkey ventured into alone. This guy had absolutely no fear of death.

He even found a spot to grind and level up monsters here.

In less than half a year, this guy had approached the level cap of a Transcendent. In his eyes, the frenzied Bizarre Realm might just be a high-difficulty grinding map.

Shawn even suspected that he never intended to cooperate with the natives. If the timing was right, he would challenge the lower-position ancient here solo.

He couldn’t help but recall an intriguing piece of knowledge from his past life, where if Earth’s eight billion people were compressed together, they would form a meatball only about a kilometer in diameter.

To the enormous ancient, they were merely microbes venturing into an ancient palace.

Not far away.

The Ugly Monkey was leisurely attracting other pillars of flesh and blood, his eyes constantly locked on Shawn.

"The Law Power of the Child of Slaughter perfectly applies to this crystal wall system."

"So then."

"The next wave of Children of Slaughter dispatched by my master should be arriving soon."

There are many, many Children of Slaughter.

Even more than the Slaughter Divine Sons of yore, and there’s another divine lineage template—the Child of Fear.

In a Realm of Death opened by a certain someone, thousands of Children of Slaughter remain in slumber, though only a portion will be deployed on the planet of Divine Terra.

Strictly speaking, the Ugly Monkey is merely a scout probing the distant universe, doing the same work he did back in the Overseas Islands.

The real legion of Children of Slaughter awaits the full opening of the Mark City’s gate.
