"Buzz~~"
Where the black sword blade passed, the entire world trembled; its destructive power seemed poised to sweep everything away into dust.
Nuada and the other Fiend looked ahead in astonishment. Not only the Fiend, but everyone who survived the entire battlefield, including the bandits, witnessed this scene in horror.
The young man in black, Xide, held his sword horizontally in the air, while on the other side of the bandits in the distance, dozens of Divine Spark of different colors fell simultaneously from mid-air into the deep ocean below.
Suddenly, the entire battlefield fell silent.
With a single sword strike, dozens of people were killed, including even the bandit leader, who was considered a powerful figure among the Highgod. This was simply unbelievable!
"How is this possible?" Nuada, the cold-blooded young man with purple hair, stared wide-eyed. He had encountered some powerful Fiend during his missions before, but this was the first time he had ever seen such an astonishing scene.
"Run!"
"Run!"
The remaining bandits fled in terror in all directions. Having witnessed the terrifying sword strike, they no longer had the courage to resist.
"Too strong, too terrifying."
Once these bandits feel the fear of death, they also lose their order and flee in all directions, disregarding everything else.
Xide watched the fleeing figures indifferently, a cold smile playing on his lips. He had no pity whatsoever for these detestable bandits.
Suddenly--
He drew his sword again!
Seven enormous black sword energies swept across the sky almost simultaneously, moving past at lightning speed like giant black dragons.
Pfft, pfft...
One by one, the bandits were caught up by the black sword-qi dragon and their figures were annihilated. Immediately, their bodies shattered and fell into the endless deep sea below.
In the end, of the hundreds of bandits, only the last seventy or so managed to escape and disappear into the distant Mist Sea. As for the other companions, they were all killed by the young man in black alone!
"So strong!"
"Could this person really be the Seven-Star Fiend?!"
On the Fiend side, everyone's attention was focused on the suddenly appearing young man in black. Such strength was probably only attainable by the legendary Seven-Star Fiend.
Just moments ago, they were gripped by despair, but in the blink of an eye... not a single bandit remained.
This is the true strength of the strongest beings in the Infernal Realm!
The number of people is no longer of much significance to them.
"My lord, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, our whole group would have been wiped out!" Seeing that ' Luo Ao ' did not immediately show up to express his gratitude, Teresa, the caravan's owner, cursed the boy for not knowing how to behave and immediately stepped forward to thank the mysterious powerhouse.
Although the young man in black's face was mostly hidden under his black hood, making it impossible to see his true features, this quirk was perfectly acceptable to a powerful being from the Infernal Realm.
"I just happened to run into an acquaintance, so I helped out." Xide ignored Teresa's solicitousness and looked at Luo Ao again. "Kid, this Infernal Realm is more dangerous than you think, don't be careless!"
After saying that, the young man in black transformed into a streak of black Flowing Light and disappeared once again!
In less than a breath, he vanished once more into the sea of the Mist Sea and clouds, leaving no trace.
"Alas, Mr. Luo Ao, why didn't you try to persuade that gentleman to stay a little longer?" Teresa felt deep regret upon seeing this peerless expert leave so hastily, and even her tone was somewhat reproachful.
"Alright! Mr. Teresa, you're oversimplifying things! That kind of peerless expert was already incredibly lucky to help us once out of respect for Mr. Luo Ao. How could he possibly stay with us forever?" At this moment, the cold-blooded young man Nuada interrupted his employer.
Seeing this, Teresa pouted, but couldn't say anything more, and could only shake her head in disappointment.
"Let's go, Mr. Teresa. The journey isn't far now. Surely we won't encounter a second crisis!" At this moment, the other Fiend also urged them on.
They were now only ten to fifteen days away from their destination. Once they reached Miluo Island, they could finally rest for a while.
Although Miluo Island is slightly less safe than the main city of the Infernal Realm, it is still a decent transit point for these Fiend who travel around.
So, after Teresa took out another Metal Lifeform, the Fiend filed in and entered the Metal Lifeform.
Soon, the Metal Lifeform set off again. These Fiend, by nature, lived lives of constant danger. Having cultivated for countless years, these Fiend all yearned for a more spectacular life, to reach the pinnacle of the Infernal Realm. Life and death held no significance for them...
Yes, they are very reluctant to face death, and when faced with danger they cannot resist, the Fiend will flee.
However, when death truly comes, they will not be afraid.
After all, every Fiend is prepared from the moment they become Fiend!
Metal Lifeform.
Because they were about to reach their destination, and because everyone had just experienced a close call, almost everyone was staying in the lobby.
" Luo Ao, look at Nuada, it seems he's starting to Fusion Profound Mysteries." Along with Echidna's pointing finger, Luo Ao also noticed the strange phenomenon on the purple-haired, aloof youth.
A flickering black arc of electricity was constantly moving across the surface of his body, and one could also faintly sense an astonishing power of thunder.
"This Nuada is quite talented, and he's been quite diligent in his cultivation. If everything goes smoothly, he might become Five-Star Fiend soon." Luo Ao quite admired people like Nuada.
Driven by the pressure of life and death, many Fiend grow and improve, which is why so many people in the Infernal Realm come to take the tests to become Fiend. However, most of them actually die during the missions, and only a very few can achieve this transformation and become true powerhouses.
About two weeks later...
Miluo Island was finally in sight.
"How prosperous!" Looking at the huge island in the distance, the Fiend who came here for the first time were shocked by the scene. At the entrance to Miluo Island, there were densely packed Metal Lifeform moving towards it.
"Every moment, countless Metal Lifeform arrive." They couldn't help but marvel. "How many people come to Miluo Island every day? It's truly incalculable. The prosperity of Miluo Island is indeed comparable to any city."
"Come on, Echidna, I'll take you on a tour of Miluo Island later!" As the Metal Lifeform docked at the entrance, Monica immediately and enthusiastically took Echidna's hand.
Because Nuada was in the initial stage of Profound Mysteries fusion, the siblings decided to temporarily refrain from accepting Fiend Mission and let Nuada cultivate peacefully on Miluo Island for a while.
Miluo Island has one advantage that is relatively friendly to outsiders: ordinary people do not need to pay any fees.
Of course, this was meaningless to these Fiend, but the two special industries on Miluo Island, especially the very special ' Battlefield ', still aroused the interest of many Fiend.
"The scenery on Miluo Island is quite unique, no less than any of the main cities of the Infernal Realm. I wonder how much effort the owner of Miluo Island has put into it." The group of four walked along the streets of Miluo Island and couldn't help but admire the layout of the Miluo Island.
" Echidna, let's go, let's go see the Freedom Castle first." Monica led the way, holding Echidna's hand, with Nuada and Luo Ao following behind.
Freedom Castle has six floors.
However, only the first four floors were open to the public, so the group wasn't in a hurry and started looking around from the first floor. But most of the items on the first floor were only worth a few hundred Inkstone, and very few were worth a thousand Inkstone. Naturally, they weren't very interested in these items.
After reaching the second floor, Luo Ao saw something familiar and couldn't help but smile.
The sign read " Sinking Fire Stone Essence," a specialty of the Sinking Fire Tribe when they first entered Infernal Realm. They never expected to find it on Miluo Island.
After taking a brief look, Luo Ao and his companions did not linger there but went straight up to the third floor.
The items on this third layer are much more expensive, ranging in value from tens of thousands to millions.
Of course, there are also places that specialize in selling clothes.
"Hmm, this dress looks nice. The material comes from the Bifu Continent, which is said to be very rare. Echidna, why don't you try it on? I think it would suit you very well." The two women lingered together, their eyes quickly taking in the various kinds of clothes on the third floor.
" Luo Ao, can you take a look and tell me what I think of this?" Echidna changed into a brand new outfit and twirled in front of Luo Ao.
The outfit she changed into was somewhat similar to the knightly attire of the Boya Continent, and it looked very neat and capable.
At this moment, her arms were covered by light sleeves, mainly white, and her hands wore dark blue leather gloves with the palms facing down. A cobalt blue and sea blue feather was pinned to her right shoulder. The inside of her short, white cape was covered by black, close-fitting soft armor that tightly wrapped around her body. From between the feathers, a delicate azure one-shoulder cape fluttered behind her, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly feel.
As for her lower body, she chose elegant black knee-high boots with a touch of light armor, adorned with small patches of cobalt blue, seemingly to balance lightness and protection.
This new outfit not only perfectly accentuates the young woman's figure but also highlights Echidna's intriguing and profound aura.
That unique aura, like a sword concealing its edge, yet revealing its sharpness only subtly.
"How is it?" Seeing that Luo Ao did not answer, Echidna asked again with a blush on her face.
" Echidna, he's not just not answering, he's clearly stunned..." Monica giggled from the side, while Luo Ao awkwardly touched his nose.
"It's very good." In the end, Luo Ao gave his honest evaluation.
These fashion design masters from the Infernal Realm are indeed geniuses; no wonder so many goddesses flock to the clothing stores in these cities.
The red-haired female shopkeeper secretly covered her mouth and chuckled, "The material of this garment was specially transported from the Bifu Continent. Don't let its lightweight appearance fool you; its defensive capabilities are comparable to some Highgod Artifact. It's definitely worth every penny."
"Eight million Inkstone, that's really not expensive at all." The shop owner often used this sales pitch, but she also doubted whether the black-haired youth had the means to do so.
After all, it's probably only the young God and ladies of powerful families who could afford to spend the astronomical sum of eight million Inkstone to buy a pretty dress that has no practical significance.
"It's definitely great value for money, we bought it." Luo Ao nodded happily.
The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised to see Luo Ao nod and agree so casually. At the same time, he was secretly astonished. This man was indeed not to be underestimated. On the surface, Luo Ao was just an ordinary God, but he didn't care at all about buying a set of clothes that cost nearly ten million.
Luo Ao chuckled and stepped forward to pay.
Echidna, however, continued to admire herself in the mirror, wearing her new outfit, looking quite pleased. Luo Ao looked at Echidna's slightly flushed face; her unique knightly attire accentuated her dashing figure.
" Luo Ao, you're really willing to do this!" Monica, who was standing to the side, was also surprised that this kid had such courage.
Afterwards, Monica led Echidna to select several new outfits. Although they looked quite good, they were far less stunning than the first one, so the group went straight up to the fourth floor.
