322: God of the End

The moment Chen Du uttered the word “yes,” the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

An invisible and intangible Seal power, similar to a rule, directly sealed all of Chen Du's power, except for his Martial Skills.

This feeling was somewhat similar to the special attire worn during the Hundred Cities Championship, which could fix one's power at a certain Rank.

However, this Seal was even more formidable, sealing even his Mental Energy; fortunately, there was moonlight here, otherwise Chen Du wouldn't even be able to perceive anything.

Although his Martial Skills weren't sealed, the active ability of the Second-Order Martial Skill, Crescent Moon Swordplay, Crescent Sky Rush, was sealed.

In simple terms, Chen Du could currently only perform basic attacks.

But fortunately, even though the Mystic Treasure's abilities were sealed, the Seven Secret Treasures' enhancement to his basic strength remained.

Almost simultaneously with Chen Du's power being sealed, a life form gradually solidified on the gravestone numbered 10000.

It was an Alien Race Chen Du had never seen before, but from the appearance of its eyes, it could be confirmed that it was an Underground Alien Race.

It had a body similar to that of a High Martial Civilization human, but its head was different; it was a Dog-Head, and it held a long staff in its hand.

Chen Du didn't know if this was an Alien Race from the Ending Civilization, so he tentatively called it the Dog-Head Civilization.

“Who are you?”

Chen Du attempted to communicate.

“Defeat me, and you will receive a reward!”

Chen Du's eyelids lowered slightly; he could confirm that this sentence was not a reply to him, but something the other party said actively, like a pre-set program.

Still unwilling to give up, Chen Du asked a few more questions, but the Dog-Head Alien completely ignored him, directly smashing its long staff over.

Chen Du couldn't discern the depth of the opponent's Martial Skill, and as it was his first Ranking battle, coupled with limited time, he didn't intend to probe too much, directly going all out.

The moment the long staff and the long sword met, Chen Du could clearly feel that the opponent's strength was far inferior to his own.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he pressed his advantage, cutting off the opponent's Dog-Head with one sword strike.

Then, above the opponent's gravestone, like a virtual image, four lines of text appeared.

“Please select one of the following numbers as your reward for successfully completing this challenge.”

“1: You can randomly obtain a piece of information about this place.”

“2: Your Martial Skill talent will receive a 1‰ increase.”

“3: Your Mental Energy talent will receive a 1‰ increase.”

“So this is the so-called Treasure Trove,” Chen Du muttered to himself.

It seemed that the information Commander Qi obtained was not wrong; there were indeed rewards, but the form was somewhat different; it wasn't as simple as just reaching out and taking it. Without some strength, not only would one get nothing, but one might even lose his life.

The Life Strength Rank of that Dog-Head Alien was the same as his own, both at Rank 15.1, suggesting that both he and his opponent were suppressed by the rules.

Thus, it seemed everyone had the same Life Strength, making it a pure competition of Martial Skills.

But it was still relatively fair; if Chen Du had entered with Rank 19.8 strength, his Martial Skill level would be much higher than it was now.

The Dog-Head Alien's strength was far inferior to his own.

Firstly, there was the difference in the number of Mystic Treasures, and secondly, the difference in Martial Skill level.

The Martial Skill level of this Dog-Head Alien was high-stage First-Order, one level stronger than Commander Qi.

This meant that even if the real Wu La had come in with Xiao Ran today, Commander Qi would not have gotten anything and would have instead been killed by this Dog-Head Alien.

This Dog-Head Alien was probably once a challenger like himself, and the solidified entity that just appeared should have been his strength when he came to challenge before.

Chen Du then turned his gaze to the rewards.

Chen Du first ruled out the third reward; on one hand, a one-thousandth increase was too small, and it was for Mental Energy.

Although Chen Du's Mental Energy Rank was the highest, it was undeniably his lowest talent, relying entirely on the Crystal Space's mechanism for improvement; this amount of talent was meaningless to him.

Next, after a few seconds of deep thought, Chen Du also ruled out the second one.

The improvement of Martial Skill talent was important, but the one-thousandth ratio was equally negligible; although a mosquito's leg is still meat, he had the Zhan Zhan Fruit.

And the Vice Chen Du in the Crystal Space could be continuously triggered, so he decided to give it up.

Although the first reward was not tangible, sometimes information was more important than many things, just like now.

It determined his direction.

“I choose 1.”

The moment Chen Du's voice fell, the content of the gravestone changed again.

“This is the Land of Finality, created by the god of ending.”

The information was incredibly brief, just one sentence.

However, it wasn't unexpected; from the second and third options, it could be seen that the first couldn't be much better.

After all, they were three equally valuable options, just with different people prioritizing different aspects.

However, this piece of information still helped Chen Du. He had previously wondered, if this so-called Land of Finality was established by the Ending Civilization that was stationed here before.

Then they should have been terrifyingly strong, even capable of contending with those Great Civilizations on the Surface; how could they have been annihilated by another civilization Underground?

Now Chen Du understood: there was no so-called Ending Civilization, but the god of ending!

The ancient book Commander Qi found, though he hadn't read it, he guessed it must have been damaged in the past; its translated content was correct, but incomplete.

As for what this god of ending truly represented and what Realm it was, that remained unknown.

After all, the concept of a god had not yet appeared on Blue Star.

If only looking at the name, it meant the end of everything.

At the same time, the moment Chen Du finished browsing the information.

The gravestone originally ranked 10000 instantly shattered and became Chen Du's gravestone.

In other words, Chen Du had now replaced it, becoming the challenger ranked 10000 in the Martial Artist area.

At the same time, the Seal-like power on him was also lifted after he accepted the reward.

“So that's how it is; this Seal only appears during a challenge.”

“This way, my Promotion plus Hand of God's quick sleep tactic can still be used after the battle ends.”

Chen Du didn't know how much time others had to enter, but it shouldn't be much more, as the maximum burning time for a Martial Artist's corpse was 19 days.

After the Greedy Ghost pushed open the door, this time would be drastically shortened.

Chen Du guessed this might be related to the color of the flame; pale yellow was the most durable, while the subsequent blue and red probably accelerated the burning.

After roughly understanding the rules, Chen Du, without another word, directly set his target on the gravestone ranked 9000!

He still had 4 challenge opportunities, and the higher the Rank, the richer the rewards would surely be.

Soon, Chen Du arrived at the corresponding position.

Chen Du hadn't carefully looked at the name on the 10000th gravestone before, but he looked at the 9000th one now.

It was called Tan San!
