Supreme Tamer - Chapter 578

Chapter 578: Chapter 449: Devil’s Guardian, No One is Spared (2)

South of World City, there were two mountain-like rocks rising up from the ground, which from afar looked like two sharp swords, standing upright on the vast horizon. Their height, width, and straightness were exactly the same.

If you tilted your head and looked carefully at these two mountains, with the mist rising between them as the boundary, it felt like looking at a straight and towering mountain peak, and on the other side of the mountain peak was its reflection mirrored in the water, standing parallel to it…

This was the famous Mirror Sword Peak in the southern part of World City. Connecting these mountain peaks were countless stalactites that spanned across them, resembling stone bridges, horizontal beams, or pagodas. However, when viewed from a distance, these formations seemed to form a huge ghastly looking chest bone!

The highest point of these stalactites between Mirror Sword Peak was about the middle-upper part of the two peaks, reaching heights of two thousand meters. The highest spanning stalactite was one thousand and five hundred meters high.

The stalactites seemed very thin from a distance, but in reality, the widest one was about three meters wide, suitable for most larger-sized soul pets to stand on.

“Even though it is often compared to a chest bone, to me, it looks more like a border with two towering towers on each side.” In the area around the city walls of World City, the contestants were standing on the towering walls, casting their eyes far away towards Mirror Sword Peak.

“What you don’t know is that Mirror Sword Peak actually has another name – Netherworld Gate. It is said that the Netherworld Gate is the boundary gate to another world. With the right spell, one can travel freely between World City and the realm of undead soul pets in that other world…” Someone quickly recounted the so-called legend.

“Really? Or did some people just make it up themselves?” Many people had a half-skeptical attitude.

“Don’t believe it? Then just wait until the second month of each year and see the lunar eclipse. At that time, when you see the appearance of Mirror Sword Peak, you will absolutely believe what I’m saying now.” The person exuded an air of mystery.

Most people had heard the rumor of the gate to another realm, but legends are ultimately legends, and no one had ever witnessed this chest bone-like giant gate opening.

At this point, the contestants were not allowed to enter the venue, so nearly all of them gathered at the South City Wall. In total, there were thousands of people.

These thousands of people were not divided into tiers, which meant that all contestants, regardless of their tier, would face the same border guardian!

Of course, there was also a choice of difficulty. First-tier members had to unconditionally choose a four-control border guardian. Only by defeating a four-control guardian could they pass the first round.

Second-tier contestants, on the other hand, had to choose between three-control and higher.

Third-tier contestants had to choose between two-control and higher. Only by defeating a two-control border guard could they qualify as having passed the first round.

There were three border guardians in total, divided into three realms, selected from the third-tier, second-tier, and first-tier contestants.

No matter which group of contestants, they all had to start from the first round. If the border guardians felt that the contestant’s strength was too strong, they could let them pass actively to avoid affecting their next match. Generally speaking, the first round of guardians would let the second-tier and first-tier contestants pass, as the first round was mostly set up for third-tier contestants.

“Who do you think the first-round border guardian will be? This is already the Fourth Realm. The game organizer must have chosen a very strong contestant from the third-tier. I don’t know how many third-tier members will be blocked in this first round by the guardians.” In the area of the South City Wall, many people had already begun to speculate.

Knowing who the border guardian is would be crucial for the contestants. Some contestants in the third-tier are incredibly strong, which would directly affect their ability to pass the Fourth Realm.

Before the start of the challenge, the South City Wall area was bustling with speculation. They were all waiting for noon, as at that moment, the contest organizers would officially announce the border guardian’s name.

Finally, at noon, as the gorgeous sun hung high in the sky, thousands of people all looked up at the towering City Tower.

Not long after, the race members would emerge from the City Tower and announce the names of the first-round border guards to the thousands of contestants, officially beginning the challenge!

“I hope it’s someone who hasn’t been on the World Ranking before, so that we have a chance.” Some contestants who had never entered the Honor Challenge before were already praying in secret.

“Relying on luck isn’t a good strategy.” Some people who were confident in their abilities said.

“Luck or not, as long as I can pass the Fourth Realm, I’ll be saving face when I go back. You should know that in our city, no one has ever passed the Fourth Realm before. If I can make it through…”

The voices of speculation never stopped until a cold, enchanting woman dressed in a purple-black long robe slowly walked out of the City Tower, quieting some of the noisy crowd.

“Fourth Realm, first round border guard, third-tier member…” The cold, alluring voice echoed around the South City Wall, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some contestants who were extremely concerned about this round of the contest had tense expressions on their faces, just as if their results were being announced.

“First round border guard, third tier member – Soul Hall Chu Chen!”

Finally, the icy and haughty voice resounded down!

Before that, some people who thought they had strength were still casting interested glances at this woman in the purple-black long robe and savoring her cold yet sexy voice. However, when it finally dawned on them that the first-round border guard was Soul Hall Chu Chen, the faces of these once-calm contestants went completely dark!

Suddenly, a wailing cry echoed across the South City, causing countless residents to mistakenly think that a powerful soul pet group had invaded the city.

Innumerable voices of resentment filled the air, and at least half of the thousands of people present couldn’t help but swear. This kind of spectacle was extremely rare in the high-quality World Decree contest!

The contestants weren’t cursing the first-round border guard Chu Chen, but instead the contest organizer’s arrangement for the challenge, which didn’t seem to have been given much thought!

One had to ask, in the entire contest of the World Decree, how many people don’t know Soul Hall Chu Chen?!

During the First Realm, this guy had achieved the highest honor in the second-tier, and during the Second Realm, he even terrifyingly squeezed into the First-tier Glory Board!

There are countless young experts in the third-tier, and the organizer just had to choose this youth, who doesn’t know that Soul Hall Chu Chen is an eerie young man in The World Decree who challenges across different tiers!

This decision by the organizer resulted in a maddeningly infuriating outcome for all contestants: having Soul Hall Chu Chen guard the first checkpoint. Not only would it be difficult for third-tier members to pass, but even those second-tier experts would have to suffer a miserable fall!

There is one consolation for the members of the third-tier: at least they have the option to choose the lowest difficulty to deal with Chu Chen, who has dual control over Soul Hall. But those in the second-tier would suffer!

No matter what, they would have to face Chu Chen in triple control. Comparing their soul pets to Chu Chen’s is like comparing heights. Under such circumstances, the guardians would not let them pass for the sake of their guarding success rate, and those who originally had a lot of confidence in passing the Fourth Realm would be strangled by this maddening arrangement!

“It’s unfair! How can someone who has achieved the highest honor in the second-tier and has entered the first-tier Glory Board be responsible for the first checkpoint? This is clearly not letting us pass. How could the organizers do something like this?” The curses rang out!

Those who had been hoping to break through more realms also vented their resentment. As the previous contestant had said, there were no people in their city who had passed the Fourth Realm at this time. The realm they could pass was very important to these contestants, and the organizers’ decision was simply killing off all their hopes.

“Silence!” The woman in purple-black clothes coldly issued!

Her Soul Sense swept down instantly, forcefully silencing all the protesters so forcefully that they couldn’t utter a word!

“This arrangement was confirmed half a year ago and approved unanimously by all major powers. If you have any objections, you can go to your power’s World Contest Organizer and question them why they agreed to have him defend this territory!” The woman in purple-black clothes said coldly. Her frosty eyes swept over everyone as she continued haughtily,

“Now, you either challenge or withdraw! If you don’t have the courage and strength, why bother coming to The World Decree to humiliate yourself!”

The woman’s words once again stirred up resentment among the thousands of people, making it difficult for them to accept this reality honestly, especially since the difficulty of other challenges was not as high as theirs!

“Who is this woman? Can she be so arrogant just because some part of her is big!!” A sharp and wicked voice suddenly burst out.

The voice was piercing and could be heard by almost everyone, including the lofty woman in purple-black clothes. Her eyes grew colder, and her gaze instantly locked onto the disrespectful person among the thousands.

As the spell was recited, a surge of wild power swept over the city tower, and a burst of brown light shot into the sky, reaching the clouds. The turbulent momentum made people feel like the tides were surging!

The clouds churned violently, and within the summoning pattern, a colossal creature suddenly leaped down from the clouds, landing heavily on the city tower as if it would trample the entire tower to the ground!!

“Cloud… Cloud Snake Ape King!!!”

A series of horrified screams rang out, and thousands of people on the city walls stared with wide eyes, their gazes filled with fear as they stared at the tenth-rank Monarch that was half-clambering up the gigantic city wall, with its terrifying beastly aura permeating above everyone’s heads!!

The person who had been inconsiderate in his words earlier was so frightened that he directly collapsed onto the ground, his face pale as a sheet; for now, that tenth-rank Monarch was staring right at him, giving him a feeling as if he was locking eyes with the Death God himself!

“If it happens again, I’ll feed your corpse to my Cloud Snake Ape King!” The woman in purple-black clothing pointed at the man and spoke in a voice icy to the extreme!

Using force to quell the chaos and uprising was indeed the most direct solution. At this moment, no more voices of protest could be heard from anyone. They could only obediently abide by the game organizer’s decision, grit their teeth and draw lots to decide who would be the first to be utterly crushed by that perverted First Realm Guardian.

That First Realm Guardian, who frightened countless people into wanting to give up on passing through the realms, was standing right on the city tower. At this moment, he was watching the woman who had summoned the tenth-rank Cloud Snake Ape King with a surprised look in his eyes. He didn’t expect that there would be such a young woman with astonishing strength in the World Decree, and this woman had surprisingly not even participated in the World Decree.

Chu Mu was trying to guess the identity of this powerful person from some major power who was hiding behind the woman in purple-black clothing.

“What are you looking at? If five out of ten people pass, then you’ll be eliminated!” The woman in purple clothing quickly noticed Chu Mu’s gaze and spoke with a frosty expression.

Chu Mu was startled and didn’t expect that this woman would be so sharp. He could even feel the pride in this woman’s eyes – she didn’t seem to care about anyone. This kind of pride and sharpness made Chu Mu very uncomfortable.

Ye Wansheng was beside Chu Mu, and he too, like Chu Mu, felt the same way. He also didn’t like the woman’s overbearing attitude, and mocked, “Do you think those people heaving a deep sigh are doing it for fun? Ten people passing five? Although Chu Chen is a Third-tier member, out of ten challengers who pass the realm, it is very rare for even one to pass! And that one is definitely a First-tier member!”

After Ye Wansheng finished speaking, the woman’s gaze became even colder.

At this moment, a man standing beside the woman, who looked like a subordinate, coldly snorted: “Six years ago, Miss Shan was a Third-tier Guardian, and she didn’t let a single person pass her realm. This year’s World Decree, Miss Shan didn’t even think about participating. When you’re trying to find some self-respect for yourself, please recognize what kind of person you are before talking to Miss Shan!”

Chu Mu glanced at the subordinate beside the woman, his eyebrows raised in surprise. He was secretly shocked at how this woman’s strength had reached such an astonishing level. It appeared that the tenth-rank Cloud Snake Ape King most likely wasn’t even this woman’s main pet.

“There are countless experts in the Second-tier, and you’ll soon find out how ridiculous the honors you’ve earned so far are to those truly powerful people. I admit, for your age, it is very difficult for a Third-tier member to achieve your level of strength. But, to be arrogant and conceited now, it’s too early!” Said the woman known as Miss Shan, gazing coldly at Chu Mu, with a tone of lecturing.

Chu Mu had no good feelings towards this kind of self-righteous woman. In fact, he didn’t plan to let anyone pass in this guardian challenge!

The highest reward was 400 million. As long as one person was let through, it would be reduced to 300 million. Chu Mu had determined long ago that even if a First-tier expert appeared, he wouldn’t let them pass easily!
