Following Xiao Longlong, the Purple Scale Demon King and Hundred Hills Great King, who had struck and annihilated dozens in one blow, were also placed under bounty, becoming the big red names before the emperor.
This was one of the planar battlefield’s rules.
You could kill without restraint, but after reaching a certain number, you had to be subject to sanctions and accept collective targeting from others.
“They’re red!”
“They went red!”
Seeing the Purple Scale Demon King and Hundred Hills Great King’s bodies emit red beams that pierced heaven and earth, the various planar warriors’ eyes immediately blazed with fervent light!
Killing one warrior of equal level only gave 10 points, but killing one bounty target gave 500 points. If they killed both, the merit points they’d gain could purchase massive amounts of martial resources, allowing them to reach the pinnacle of life!
Not everyone had Jun Changxiao’s strength to kill people here like cutting vegetables.
Other planar warriors sometimes fought to mutual destruction over 10 merit points, then got ambushed and died.
Therefore.
The allure of 500 merit points was simply too great!
“Attack!”
A sinister old man said in a heavy voice.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
In an instant, dozens of experts from a certain plane all flew forward.
Others also quickly mobilized!
At this point no one cared about Jun Changxiao anymore—their eyes only held the two big red names hanging outside the stronghold. They also ignored the terrifying power these two had just displayed!
Before 500 merit points, people would go mad.
Even farther away, other planes were also rushing over at maximum speed.
Three red beams shooting into the sky simultaneously in adjacent regions was extremely rare, so inevitably before long, the area outside the Falling Star Continent stronghold would be bustling with people!
“Kill!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes turned cold.
Since they’d come here, since their strength was decent, they’d fight until heaven and earth lost their color!
“Scram!”
The Purple Scale Demon King shouted coldly. Purple energy erupted madly, forming two large fists that swept away the attacking warriors like mowing grass.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
In an instant, dozens of Yellow-tier warriors were annihilated. The Falling Star Continent stronghold’s area expanded considerably again, but his body also became deeper red.
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
He wasn’t worried about the Purple Scale Demon King becoming redder from more kills—rather, with this guy’s current strength, casually harvesting Yellow-tier experts only gave one merit point each, which was completely wasteful!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
On the other side, though the Hundred Hills Great King’s strength couldn’t match the Purple Scale Demon King, when fully unleashed he also treated human lives like grass.
Moreover, due to racial relations he already resented humans, so killing them carried no burden whatsoever!
“Boom boom boom—”
After several exchanges, the warriors who had died at the hands of Purple Scale and Hundred Hills were approaching a hundred!
The terrifying combat power displayed by these two beasts made the nearly-mad Yellow-tier warriors gradually calm down, startling them into retreating without daring to approach.
Too fierce!
Going up would definitely mean death!
The current situation was: Jun Changxiao stood at the stronghold’s outer perimeter.
The Purple Scale Demon King and Hundred Hills Great King hovered like guardians on his left and right sides, with thousands of planar warriors surrounding them from all directions, their eyes filled with wariness.
The scene was like a freeze-frame.
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao grinned: “Come on, have fun.”
“…” Everyone’s mouths twitched.
They really wanted to go over and tear this guy’s mouth open, but with the Purple Scale Demon King and Hundred Hills Great King present, they could only stand far away attacking with their eyes.
“Sigh.”
Jun Changxiao shrugged: “A bunch of cowards.”
With three bodyguards comparable to Earth-tier experts, he was qualified to show off to his heart’s content.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, the distant space rippled repeatedly, and two white-haired old men gradually materialized.
They wore long robes, surrounded by vast auras—one had a kind face and smiled like spring wind, while the other had angry eyes and looked like a vicious demon.
“These are…”
A planar expert exclaimed in shock: “The Kind-Browed Good Man and Angry-Eyed Evil Man from the Nine Heavens Continent!”
Hearing the words “Nine Heavens Continent,” all the warriors present changed expression dramatically, their eyes immediately filling with intense wariness.
The battlefield had many planes, which naturally had strong and weak divisions.
The Nine Heavens Continent.
Was one of the strongest planes in the battlefield.
It was said this was among the earliest batch designated to enter here, and in the planar wars they had dominated other worlds to become the Planar King.
Early on, the planar battlefield focused mainly on hegemonic slaughter. Later, as more planes joined and rules evolved with the times, it eventually became a massive free-for-all.
Though the title was now outdated, as one of the battlefield’s veteran worlds, the Nine Heavens Continent’s strength was absolutely beyond question, so other planar warriors usually didn’t dare provoke them.
Of course.
This powerful plane had long met the requirements.
The planar battlefield entrance remained permanently in the continent, making it a place for the world’s people to train.
In other words, while many new planes were still working hard to expand their strongholds and fighting madly for merit points, the Nine Heavens Continent had already transcended all that, merely using this place as a training ground.
Nine Heavens Continent?
Jun Changxiao hadn’t heard of it.
However, judging from the aura emanating from the two old men, their strength should be greater than Che Yuansi, whom he’d just knocked unconscious.
“Dear participant, there are over three hundred planes within the planar battlefield. The Nine Heavens Continent belongs to the first tier and has very formidable strength,” the female system explained.
Jun Changxiao said: “That’s somewhat impressive.”
“The battlefield has nine tiers total,” the female system said sweetly. “Your Falling Star Continent belongs to the ninth tier—the weakest and most bottom-tier kind.”
Jun Changxiao nearly coughed up blood!
I knew it would be this situation. I didn’t even dare ask, but she volunteered it anyway. Is she deliberately trying to discourage me!
“Dear participant, don’t be too discouraged. Everyone grows up from childhood. As long as you get beaten more, get abused more, you’ll gradually become stronger, mwah.” The female system said.
Jun Changxiao felt like crying.
…
With the appearance of two Earth-tier experts from the Nine Heavens Continent, the atmosphere became even more murderous.
“These two red names.”
The Kind-Browed Good Man squinted and smiled: “Are our two’s prey. You have no objections, right?”
His tone was gentle and amiable.
But his words carried an unquestionable authority.
The thousands of warriors present changed expression slightly and hurriedly declared in unison: “No objections! No objections!”
To demonstrate they truly had no objections, they all retreated backward, clearing the spatial area for the two Earth-tier experts from the Nine Heavens Continent.
“Heh.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Truly domineering.”
The Angry-Eyed Evil Man glared at the Purple Scale Demon King and said coldly: “In broad daylight you’re naked—have you no shame?”
“This King is happy. What business is it of yours?”
The Purple Scale Demon King crossed his arms, his face full of pride.
The Angry-Eyed Evil Man looked fierce and clearly had a bad temper. His eyes immediately blazed with fury.
“You two.”
Sect Master Jun said: “Does your Nine Heavens Continent also want to participate and become enemies with my Falling Star Continent?”
“This young friend.”
The Kind-Browed Good Man smiled: “We’re only here to capture bounty targets, not to make enemies with any plane.”
Though the Nine Heavens Continent had formidable strength, having completed their mission early, they wouldn’t actively engage in massive slaughter. In the planar battlefield they were a neutral faction, occasionally guest-starring as world police to capture bounty targets and earn massive merit points.
“You want to capture my sect’s Hall Master, so…” Jun Changxiao said seriously: “Then you are enemies.”
