733: Chapter 733 Registration!!!
When a person dies, their resentment does not dissipate.
When this resentment condenses, it forms a Resentful Soul.
The strength of a Resentful Soul is not very strong, only about one percent of their strength while alive.
Furthermore, there are requirements for strength in order to condense into a Resentful Soul.
At the very least, one must be a Half-step Grandmaster level expert while alive to have a chance of condensing into a Resentful Soul after death.
Those below the Half-step Grandmaster level have Souls that are too weak after death; their resentment is insufficient, making it impossible to form a Resentful Soul, and they can only dissipate between heaven and earth.
At this moment, a Resentful Soul attacked Jiang Li.
It drifted out from the darkness, silent and swift, opening a blurred mouth in an attempt to devour Jiang Li.
The aura it emitted was very weak; it was not even a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, only around the Fifth-Rank Mid-stage level.
With such strength, it was not even comparable to an ant in front of Jiang Li.
Golden light bloomed around Jiang Li's body as a golden radiance surged from within her, like the scorching sun in the sky, enveloping the Resentful Soul.
Wherever the golden light passed, the Resentful Soul's body rapidly melted, dissipated, and annihilated.
In less than half a breath, that Resentful Soul turned into nothingness, not even having time to let out a wail.
"Entering the Inner Zone, we should be more careful. The Martial Artists here are at least Sixth Rank, and there are even Grandmasters."
Jiang Li said, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
This Inner Zone is different from the outer zone.
Most of the fallen soldiers were Grandmasters, or even Great Grandmaster level.
They fell on this land, leaving behind Legacies, Concepts, Domains, and treasures that are far beyond what the outer zone can compare to.
And to obtain these things, one needs sufficient strength.
Generally, Great Grandmaster level experts do not care for these.
Their goal is the Venerable Legacy in the core zone!
The Venerable Legacy is the truly valuable thing, enough to tempt Great Grandmaster level experts.
The Grandmaster Legacies, or even Great Grandmaster Legacies, in the Inner Zone are just child's play to them, not worth their time.
Therefore, those remaining in the Inner Zone are Grandmasters and Martial Artists below the Grandmaster level—Martial Artists hoping to obtain the Legacies of deceased Grandmasters, and Grandmasters hoping to obtain the Legacies of deceased Great Grandmasters.
Qin Yan nodded.
"We also need to be careful; in this Inner Zone, we can occasionally encounter some powerful Resentful Souls, whose strength can even reach the Grandmaster level."
Grandmaster level Resentful Souls—those are formed after the death of experts who were at least at the Great Grandmaster level while alive.
Although they only have one percent of their strength while alive, one percent of a Great Grandmaster level is enough to reach the Grandmaster level.
Grandmaster level Resentful Souls are also a huge threat to them.
Jiang Li nodded.
"Alright, then let's set off."
Qin Yan said.
The location for his comprehension of the Extinction Spear Intent is the Valley of Perishing.
That is the place where the Great Grandmaster of Perishing fell, and that area contains the Perishing Spear Domain.
Subsequently, the two turned into two streaks of light and flew towards the direction of the Valley of Perishing.
...
Valley of Perishing.
Located in the eastern part of the Ruined Battlefield's Inner Zone, it is a long and narrow valley.
The valley is about ten-plus miles long and several miles wide.
On both sides are steep cliffs, which are dark red, the color soaked by blood.
On the cliffs, there are knife marks, sword marks, and spear marks everywhere.
Those are the traces of the war from back then.
Deep in the valley, wisps of Extinction Spear Intent drifted out from the Spear Domain deep within the valley.
On the periphery of the Spear Domain stood soldiers wearing earthy-yellow armor.
Their armor was heavy and sturdy, covering their entire bodies, revealing only their eyes.
In their hands, they held uniform long spears, with the spear tips pointing upward and the spear shafts resting on the ground, neat and uniform.
The aura they emitted was very powerful; they were all at the Half-step Grandmaster level!
Every single soldier was a Half-step Grandmaster.
And not just one, but a row, a column, a group.
These were the soldiers of the Guhen Kingdom.
Many of the developed ruins and Concepts within the Ruined Battlefield were controlled by major forces.
The Ruined Battlefield has existed for decades, with countless Martial Artists coming to explore, excavate, and compete.
After years of slaughter and reshuffling, most of those ownerless lands have been occupied, and most of the easily obtainable Opportunities have been taken away.
What remains are either dangerous Forbidden Grounds or resources monopolized by others.
Among them, the Guhen Kingdom has the strongest power and controls the most.
As the location of the Ruined Battlefield, the Guhen Kingdom possesses a home-field advantage.
Their army guards the most important ruins, their experts occupy the most core resources, and their influence covers the vastest area.
And this Valley of Perishing is controlled by the Guhen Kingdom.
Countless Spear Dao Martial Artists come here by reputation, wanting to comprehend the Extinction Spear Intent from it and improve their Spear Dao attainments.
The Guhen Kingdom guards the entrance, controls the quota of entrants, and charges a hefty fee.
And on the outskirts of the valley, there are currently Martial Artists one after another, their gazes looking at this group of soldiers, filled with awe.
Within the territory of the Guhen Kingdom, the Guhen Kingdom's army is the maker of the rules.
No one dares to challenge their authority.
After all, the Guhen Kingdom is the Dominator of this region.
The King of the kingdom is even a True King realm expert!
True King—a Tenth Rank expert, with a Lifespan of over ten thousand years, capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a wave of their hand.
In front of a True King, Grandmasters are like ants, and Great Grandmasters are like grass.
"The competition is about to begin; those who want to enter the Perishing Spear Domain, hurry up and sign up."
At this moment, a soldier stepped forward, his voice loud and echoing in the valley.
His gaze swept across the surrounding Martial Artists, expressionless, his tone flat.
As his voice fell, the Martial Artists in the distance spoke up one after another.
"I want to sign up! I want to sign up!"
"I have been comprehending the Extinction Spear Intent for a long time, and I am about to enter the introductory stage! I will definitely succeed this time!"
"I want to as well!"
Martial Artists rushed to the registration desk one after another, fearing that if they were a step late, they wouldn't be able to sign up.
To them, entering the Perishing Spear Domain to comprehend the Extinction Spear Intent is an important way to improve their strength and a rare Opportunity.
Subsequently, they each took out a portion of fifth-rank resources and handed them over to the soldiers one after another.
Some were fifth-rank Spirit Pills, some were fifth-rank Spirit Medicine, some were fifth-rank Ores, and some were Materials from fifth-rank Vicious Beasts.
One portion of fifth-rank resources—this is the registration fee.
Fifth-rank resources are nothing to these Sixth-Rank Martial Artists.
But for the Guhen Kingdom, with thousands of people signing up, day after day, it adds up to a not-insignificant amount.
After successfully signing up and passing the competition, one can obtain the right to enter the Perishing Spear Domain for fifteen days.
If one does not pass the competition, the registration fee will not be refunded.
This is the rule.
But no one dared to raise any objections; after all, this Valley of Perishing now belongs to the Guhen Kingdom.
