Red Stone City

The phantom divine beasts were like actual entities!

The wings of two golden eagles vibrated, emitting pale green light beams.

A fire lion opened its mouth and spat out a scorching red sphere.

The silver wolf's roar contained sonic waves that could confuse the soul.

Facing the innate divine abilities of four Mid-level God divine beasts, any ordinary Mid-level God would face certain death.

But Linley was different!

His burst speed was incredibly fast, easily evading the attack range of their innate divine abilities!

"Thank you for coming to deliver your Divine Sparks!"

A mocking smile appeared on Linley's face.

He was a lightning-element Mid-level God who had fused three Profound Mysteries!

He wasn't someone these Mid-level Gods, who only relied on their beast bloodlines and innate divine abilities without true integration, could contend with!

As soon as he spoke, his long saber sliced through four of them, instantly killing them. Their true forms as divine beast corpses appeared.

"My lord, spare me!"

At the critical moment, a low-level God clone of the destruction element flew out from the golden-haired youth's soul space. Seeing his elder brothers completely annihilated, his face turned deathly pale, filled with terror.

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret!

"Oh, you're a god who achieved external deification? Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise. That's another Divine Spark."

Linley chuckled in surprise, casually delivering another strike and cleanly killing his divine clone.

All of this happened in an instant!

The other low-level God bandits were all greatly alarmed and fled in different directions. They were smart enough to know this would increase their chances of survival.

Linley sneered at this, "How could I possibly let you go? Leave all your Divine Sparks behind!"

He spread his five fingers, and Divine Power flowed!

"Boom!"

A vast net of lightning erupted, rapidly forming a shrinking semicircular prison. A dozen low-level Gods were trapped, and the moment they touched the edges, their bodies exploded and died from the charge.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Linley then swung his saber, killing the remaining low-level Gods. The entire process was as simple as slicing through vegetables, and his expression didn't change.

For Linley, who had fused three Profound Mysteries and amplified the quality of his Divine Power with Magnetic Field Power, even hundreds of low-level Gods of this strength would be mere cannon fodder.

Thomas and Corey watched this scene with pounding hearts and immense admiration. As fellow Mid-level Gods, the gap between them was like heaven and earth. They could only bitterly smile, realizing that comparing themselves to a genius like Linley was asking for trouble.

"A great harvest, a great harvest!"

Linley grinned broadly as he collected his spoils. Not only were all four divine beast Mid-level Gods killed, but three of the low-level Gods were also divine beasts.

Linley called out to the stunned duo, "Come on, let's check out their lair."

The three entered the forest. Their Spiritual Sense quickly detected a hidden cave world and a castle. Thousands of Saint Domains lived there, mostly magical beasts, primarily of the eagle, lion, and wolf types. Among the humans, a few of the most beautiful women were gathered in four rooms.

Thomas's Divine Domain spread out, killing all the magical beast Saint Domains and collecting them into his spatial ring. He said happily, "These ingredients can be taken to Red Stone City and sold to restaurants for a bit of profit."

Linley didn't care about such small sums. He just took all the spatial rings. He enjoyed the thrill of opening blind boxes, hoping to find something valuable by chance.

Linley then looked at the terrified human Saint Domains and said calmly, "Hand over your spatial rings."

Everyone obeyed obediently.

Linley said, "We're heading to Red Stone City next, and we won't be taking you burdens with us. You can decide for yourselves whether to leave or stay and wait for us to return before we all go to live in the tribe together."

Immediately, someone responded excitedly, "I'm willing to wait for you, my lord, and follow you!"

"I'm willing too!"

Almost everyone was willing. They knew how low the status of Saint Domains was in hell, and they would surely die if they wandered around aimlessly. Rather than that, it was better to patiently wait for this God-level powerhouse to return and take them with him.

Linley nodded, picked up the spatial rings, and dripped blood to claim ownership to examine them. His focus was on the legacies of those four Mid-level Gods.

After a while...

"There are actually three Mid-level Divine Sparks, and four hundred thousand Ink Stones. I wonder how much they robbed to save up this much, and now it's all mine."

"Hmm, these low-level Divine Sparks can also be sold for quite a bit when combined."

"It's a shame there are no Soul Gold Granules or Soul Gold Beads."

Linley shook his head, but he also knew that if such good things existed, they would most likely have used them themselves, and the possibility of any leftovers was very low. Clearly, they weren't as lucky this time.

"Let's go."

Linley called out, and he, Thomas, and Corey set off again.

"This is Red Stone City!"

The towering, mountain-like red city walls exuded a faint, heavy, and stable aura under the sunlight's refraction.

Countless God-level powerhouses lined up orderly to enter the city, each paying one Ink Stone. However, there were exceptions: Demons!

Those wearing Demon Medals strode proudly through the city with confident steps, not needing to pay any Ink Stones. The guards at the city gate didn't even glance at them, as if it were perfectly natural. This made many God-level powerhouses in line envious and jealous, yet none dared to voice any objections.

In hell, anyone could become a Demon, provided they passed the assessment tasks at the Demon Castle. However, the mortality rate for Demon assessments was extremely high, with only a select few God-level elites having the strength to pass. Typically, Mid-level Gods would register, and with good luck, they could become One-star Demons.

Although Linley and the other two were all Mid-level Gods, they didn't have Demon Medals, so they obediently queued up and paid one Ink Stone each to enter the city.

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's safe once we're inside the city. We're under the protection of the great Sovereign, and no one is allowed to engage in private fights. Otherwise, the patrolling soldiers within the city won't let you off."

Corey said with longing, "My biggest dream is to buy a house in the city, but the prices are too high."

As he spoke, he looked at Linley, his eyes filled with admiration. He had no doubt that with their leader's abilities, he would definitely be able to buy a house in Red Stone City in the future.

Linley asked curiously, "How much does a house cost?"

He had actually forgotten to ask about this before. In his memory, during the era of the original work, the cheapest house in Emperor Wing City was eight million, but that required luck to acquire. Normally, one would need sixty million Ink Stones to buy a cheaper house, while expensive ones could cost hundreds of millions.

In the current era, based on Linley's personal experience, the number of powerhouses in hell was nowhere near as exaggerated as in the future. Market forces determined prices, and he wondered how much it cost to buy a house now.

Corey answered truthfully, "I heard the cheapest ones cost at least five million Ink Stones. As for the expensive houses, some are seventy to eighty million Ink Stones!"

Linley thought to himself, "As expected, the timeline is different, and the prices vary greatly."

From an investment perspective, it would be a huge profit to hoard some real estate while prices were still low and sell them later for appreciation. However, Linley's ambitions were not that small; being a landlord in hell wouldn't satisfy his appetite.

Linley and the other two chatted as they walked along the spacious street. On both sides of the road were luxurious and exquisite buildings, including restaurants, hotels, and clothing stores.
