Sacred Domain Paradise

Lacking supplies from the Gate of Time and Space, and with attributes suppressed by 6%.

The Three-headed Snake, no, the Two-headed Snake could no longer ignore the wildfire at this point, and could only constantly evade the flames' assault.

Facing Black Hoof's ferocious Taotie maw and terrifying hooves, it was being pushed back step by step.

"Boom!"

Green light flickered, and a large tree covered in flames suddenly burst from the thick smoke. Its massive feet stomped on the ground, scattering sparks.

But it charged forward resolutely, instantly knocking back the Two-headed Snake that was trying to escape.

"Bitch, trash, lunatic from Cycle Paradise!"

The old snake-man cursed furiously. Watching the giant tree burn to ashes before his eyes, he thought these lunatics from Paradise were truly troublesome.

The surging wildfire now made even him feel severely uncomfortable, but how could this brat from Cycle Paradise still dare to fight? Wasn't he afraid of being swallowed by the wildfire?!

Amidst the thick smoke, Wang Changle constantly shifted his position, but his eyes were fixed on the Two-headed Snake in the field. He threw Rainbow Fruit Candy into his mouth non-stop, chewing with a loud crunch.

The sweet fruit candy melted quickly, rapidly restoring his magic points. He also discovered that although the candy couldn't restore instantly, its recovery effect could stack!

While it was still a drop in the bucket, it did speed up Wang Changle's magic point recovery a bit.

Now, even the recovery of 1 magic point was extremely important to him.

The battered Two-headed Snake struggled to survive, but madness flickered in Wang Changle's eyes.

"This time, I will definitely keep you here!"

He needed to return to the real world for revenge. Not only did he need strength, but he also needed resources.

"Under One Person" was a peace mode. Even killing a Contractor wouldn't grant a Scarlet Card.

But at the node in the "Enkai" world, within this small-scale subspace, it was a kill mode. Killing would grant a Scarlet Card.

If he could keep this Violator here, Wang Changle would not only complete the hunting mission but also obtain a Scarlet Card. Such a powerful Violator must contain a good harvest!

He could tell this Violator was following a summoning path, a specialist with advantages in both Charm and Intelligence. Their combat system relied mainly on summoned creatures, supplemented by control and enhancement abilities.

If Wang Changle hadn't used the Formless Child for reverse tracking, quickly pinpointed its location, and learned the summoning contract of the Black Goat Cub, gaining a powerful helper.

With the help of the Feng Family's influence, this Violator didn't have much time to prepare and was caught off guard.

Otherwise, even with one more snake monster like Hu Jie, he would have had no chance of winning.

Wang Changle knew that achieving this situation was the result of his careful planning against an unprepared opponent, coupled with accumulating advantages as the situation shifted. Therefore, he would never let go of this best opportunity.

In fact, after the snake-man merged with the giant snake, the balance of battle had already begun to tilt.

This Contractor following a magic cultivation path seemed to have little experience in close combat.

His chaotic attack methods clearly showed the purely instinctive attacks of a giant python, with little change except for the addition of claws.

But Black Hoof, with its dual enhancements in physique and strength, was undoubtedly a master of close combat.

Using its body as a base and its tentacles to distract, its maw was guaranteed to tear off a piece of flesh.

Wang Changle hid in the shadows, carefully observing the Two-headed Snake's movements, always staying within the vegetation cover and using plant perception to survey the entire field.

The wildfire raged, and smoke billowed!

This was the most unfavorable battlefield for the snake-man. Not only was thermal perception disrupted, but it was also dry and unbearable, greatly reducing the power of many water-attribute spells.

The Two-headed Snake retreated while fighting, moving towards a villa. Wang Changle's eyes narrowed slightly; there was a small river there!

"This path is blocked!"

He rushed out quickly. Amidst the blood-red light, his hooves transformed, and War Stomp surged forward with a shockwave, knocking back the Two-headed Snake with a "clang."

[Notification: Your Health has dropped to 6%. You will be unable to use the Black Goat Cub's skills.]

The pain from burning blood forced Wang Changle to lean against a large tree to barely stay upright.

"Sizzle—"

The Two-headed Snake couldn't even wail this time, only able to deal with Black Hoof's tentacles exhaustedly.

In a daze, flesh and blood flew. Black Hoof dissipated in a brown light wave.

"Stinky brat, return to the embrace of Cthulhu! Haa~~ah!"

"Pfft~"

The Two-headed Snake fell backward. Looking at the wooden hand piercing its chest, it struggled to turn its head. Its peripheral vision caught sight of a figure leaning on the grass, its expression... seemed to be smiling?

He died?

He was a Contractor of Sacred Domain Paradise, the greatest High Priest of the Kunyang people, a descendant of the Igu Serpent People, and a devout follower of Sathogua.

How could he die before spreading the glory of his god to the world!

He vaguely remembered being summoned by a great being a few years ago. Through the dreamscape of a ritual, he arrived at a place called Sacred Domain Paradise.

As a High Priest of Sathogua, he decided to spread the faith to various worlds.

During a war in Paradise, he was killed by a Blade of Law Destruction. The soul-piercing, mana-burning sensation was still vivid in his memory!

That madman, and the blade called Dragon Slaying Flash!

But heaven did not abandon him. It used its talent to fuse with one of the enemy Contractor's, and he knew this was the Lord's blessing, which had sent this person before him.

This was to allow him to spread glory in the enemy camp and convert the masses.

He would use the world as a sacrifice, blood food as proof, to offer to the great Lord!

Facing the Paradise's punishment and pursuit, he used his talent to fuse and escape time and time again.

Within years, he had weakened and his level had dropped because of this.

But after trillions of humans turned into a blood feast and hundreds of World Origins were devoured and converted, he finally heard the Lord's call. He would soon be granted a name.

A name, or rather a title, was the supreme glory bestowed by the Lord!

But he never expected this world would become his burial ground, and he would die at the hands of a lunatic from the Cycle Paradise.

In a daze, his consciousness returned to silence!

[You have killed Contractor No. 134178, Hunter Mission Complete]

[You have obtained 1 Honor Bronze Medal]

[You have obtained Treasure Chest (Green) (Basilisk)]

[Your Talent Trait 'Capture' has activated, you have obtained Trait Card: Fusion]

[You have killed Sanctuary Contractor No. 089426]

[You have obtained Bloody Treasure Chest * 1]

He lay on the grass, panting, his face turned upwards. The high temperature around him remained. The basilisk's corpse was not far from him, being slowly consumed by the merciless flames.

The depletion of blood energy left his face pale, his magic points at rock bottom made him dizzy, and a large patch on his head was scorched. He was covered in mud, looking like a refugee.

Although the process was arduous and the battle dangerous, he had won in the end!

These battles between life and death, and the constant gambits within them, made him feel intensely excited. This feeling was truly amazing!

He enjoyed these battles, especially seeing the opponent struggle. The sense of satisfaction was unparalleled, making him want to go even more insane, even more mad.

The mountain fire raged. He followed the stream, walking unsteadily towards the distance.

Ten days later, Dongxiang Zhuang, Ino Reis Hotel.

"Ode, this, this is your explanation for disappearing for ten whole days?"

Feng Shayan looked at the young man lying on the bed with a nonchalant expression and threw her tablet over.

"Sakura Garden suddenly caught fire, possibly related to Tianxia Group!"

"Shocking! Man narrowly escapes death in a massive fire, turns out to be Tianxia Association executive!"

"Sakura Garden Fire Erupts! Fire Situation Report, No Casualties"

"After the Sakura Garden Fire, Tianxia Group Donates 10 Million!"

A raging fire. The news about Sakura Garden caused a stir throughout the city, with three of the reports related to Tianxia Group.

"Sorry. This 5 million is a token of sincerity. 5 million is my own money, and the other 5 million will be deducted from my annual salary!"

While browsing the constantly commenting and reposting threads, Wang Changle adjusted his posture and looked calmly out the window.

"That was a derelict property, but it's not something you can dismiss with a mere 10 million. Mr. Ode."

Feng Shayan was extremely displeased with Wang Changle's attitude. This incident involved not only the Sakura Garden fire but also turmoil within the Otherworldly Person community.

Hu Jie of Dongxiang Zhuang had mysteriously disappeared, and many local Otherworldly Persons had been assassinated. Furthermore, near where the Nanyang Sorcerer Lin Lun disappeared, Wang Changle's figure was spotted.

"The Four Maniacs, Xia He and Shen Chong, are at Hu Lin's home in Dongxiang Zhuang. If you rush over now, you should be able to find some evidence."

Wang Changle's indifferent words startled Feng Shayan. She immediately walked out and made a phone call.

"Hu Lin died at home, driven mad!"

A moment later, Feng Shayan returned from outside, looking dejected.

"Oh, regarding the Sakura Garden incident. I apologize! I can resign to take responsibility. If you need me to, I can cooperate with a press conference, Ms. Feng."

As he spoke, he sent a resignation letter and his fingers began to tap unconsciously on the table.

"Mr. Ode, aren't you planning to attend the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"

Feng Shayan then sat down, poured herself a cup of coffee, and relaxed.

"I believe that as an artifact refiner, offering to craft a Magic Tool in exchange for an invitation to the Luotian Grand Ceremony should not be difficult!"

With the trait card, Wang Changle naturally had more leverage. The value of an artifact refiner was far from being overshadowed by the Sakura Garden fire.

The implication was that the power to obtain an invitation was not limited to just the Tianxia Association!
