Chapter 129
The Transcendents were seven god-like entities who existed at the far edges of the Core and the Deep Realm.
Initially, they were adventurers exploring the Core like anyone else. However, unlike the others, they displayed exceptional prowess, breaking through the layers of the Core and ultimately settling and adapting in the Deep Realm.
Unlike other adventurers, the Transcendents, blessed with the Blessing of the Deep Realm, could utilize the highest-grade Status Windows from every floor. They were calamities beyond what any normal adventurer could contend with.
Moreover, the Transcendents were exempt from the rule that restricted adventurers from returning to the previous floor, allowing them to roam freely within the Core. Boredom often drove them to massacre adventurers.
“Guh!” an adventurer groaned.
Ranked seventh among the Transcendents, Tang Gak, the Poison King, laughed wickedly at the adventurer’s miserable state. From within his robes, he drew multiple daggers and flung them at the adventurers. The rain of daggers poured down from every direction.
This was Ten Thousand Flowers in Rain—the pinnacle hidden technique of the Sichuan Tang Clan, passed down exclusively to the clan masters.
“Why... why are you doing this?” An adventurer gasped for breath and raised his head to face Tang Gak, even as blood gushed from his stomach wound.
Already, twenty percent of the adventurers on the third floor of the Core had fallen to Tang Gak.
“What do you gain... from this slaughter?”
Tang Gak grinned at the dying adventurer’s question, his smile more sinister than ever.
