Leylin was cultivating ascetically in the Carthew's palace as he waited for the Extreme Purgatory Field to commence.
However, his silent days didn't last long and trouble came knocking.
On this day, Leylin was conversing with the candidates chosen by Carthew, when he suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Who's Leylin Farlier?"
In the next moment, a flow of intimidating energy wave came from the square out there.
"Who's that?" Leylin glanced at the pale faces of the two candidates picked by Carthew to enter Extreme Purgatory Field and asked.
"Sir Alavid," The male was anxious. "What does he want to find you? Did you offend him?"
After hearing his name a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he walked out.
A two-meters-tall beefy man stood on the square. He was wearing a dark brown armor, which made him look as formidable as a savage deity.
There were two other warriors wearing the Purgatory Token, standing next to this muscular man. Besides them, Aagon, also stood there.
Carthew, Rochester, Declan, and Prince Morgan also stormed out of their places. Morgan was the younger brother of Caligula Arman– King of Dark Firmament Divine Nation.
He was the handsome middle-aged man who was in charge of receiving the feudal vassals.
That man clasped his fist with a smiling face, talking to the muscular man. "Sir Alavid, what's the matter?"
"Who is Leylin Farlier?" The brawny man that was as formidable as a Demogorgon shouted.
His brutal eyes scanned the crowd. Warriors in his line of sight frowned, as they were all afraid of him.
Aagon suddenly smiled, brightly pointing at Leylin from a distance.
"Turns out you're that traitor!" Aagon laughed ruthlessly. He grabbed something in the void, and a flow of energy like an immense sea rose up torrentially.
[Beep! Alert! High radiation energy detected!]
That flow of energy tried to cover Leylin and held him up in the air, but Leylin remained unmoved.
"Hm?"
Alavid had a frowned expression looking at the still indifferent Leylin with a serious expression.
He was savagely infuriated as he laughed brutally, "Boy, you dared to join Bloody Slaughterer Kato to attack Princess Zahira? The reason why I'm late is that I had to stay and investigate this. I know everything now. I want to show you what's the big price for planning a wild scheme on Princess!
"Alavid? What the heck you are playing?" Carthew frowned, his face cold. He scolded the other. "Leylin has the Purgatory Token. I've checked it. Princess granted him the token. Since the Princess gave him the token, she must have verified him before she did that. You should stop talking nonsense!"
All of a sudden, Morgan screamed, "Sir Alavid, did you mistake him? Since that boy has the Purgatory Token, it proves that he has gained Zahira trust."
"Haha. I'll make you guys be sincerely convinced!" Aalvid grinned fiendishly, waving his hand all of a sudden.
From a place pretty far from them, a shadow was dragged to them by some invisible force. Shortly, he appeared in people's sights.
That was a young human man. He was good-looking, but his eyes were anxious. Seeing Leylin, he was astounded for a while and then screamed. "That's him! He had contacted Kato and disclosed Princess Zahira whereabouts. That's why we could chase and blockade her in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field."
Leylin who was the centre of all his commotion remained unmoved. An amusing smile appeared on his face as if he was watching a show.
'Would I have to fight a Origin God Realm warriors? Alavid seems to be a Second Sky of Origin God realm. It's will be quite interesting to test my limits against him, but would the others stay neutral or attack me together?' Leylin couldn't help but glance at Aagon.
Aagon has invested tremendously to put Leylin to death. Leylin hasn't even talked to him yet and there should be no animosity but he was so aggressive, Aagon is definitely a very malicious and scheming person.
'He can see that Zahira appreciates me and probably has a grudge for having his Purgatory Token taken away. This uncle and son due are behind all of the scheming against her and wants to eradicate all witness including me.'
"What do you have to say?" Alavid laughed brutally. "We got the witness here. Let me see how you can deny it."
"Hold on!" Carthew suddenly opened his mouth.
"Carthew, the fuck you want? I'm going to kill the empire's traitor. What does it matter to you?" Alavid shouted, his face ruthless.
Carthew wasn't scared at all. He just smiled coldly. "He's Princess subordinate. If he must be executed, Princess will handle it. Alavid, aren't you trying to poke your nose in someone else's business?
"My nephew, Aagon, is the Princess' escort. I'm going to eliminate the traitor on behalf of Zahira. Who says I'm interfering with the other's business?" Alavid didn't talk more.
He grinned fiendishly and was about to kill Leylin. His energy surged like a collapsing mountain.
Carthew paled, as if he was hesitant whether he would battle with him in this square to save Leylin. At that moment, his force relaxed a little bit.
'I guess I won't fight you today.'
Boom!
An earth-destroying dark energy came from nowhere, covering all of them.
The tremendous flow of energy that came from Alavid was washed away like the low tide.
At this moment, Alavid's angry voice came from outside. "Leona, why does it matter to you? You shouldn't poke your nose in the other's business."
"I interfere in your business. So what?" Leona's cold and wicked voice arose.
In the next moment, Everyone suddenly heard Aagon screaming painfully, as if someone had just slapped him in the face.
"Leona, you hit my nephew? Do you want to fight with me?" Aalvid was enraged, shouting and screaming wildly.
Leona was still composed. "This punk tried to harm me. I want to capture him. You're his uncle. Perhaps you're involved in this too. I want to investigate both of you!"
At this point, the darkness was suddenly lifted.
Leylin looked forward and found Leona and Aalvid facing each other. There was no surging energy in them. However, their eyes had ignited with an unknown flame of endless fighting will.
The blonde Aagon had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. One of his cheeks had a bloody handprint. He was so mad, his eyes full of grudges as he was looking at Leona.
Leona and Aagon were opposing each other with equal harshness, as if they could battle at any minute.
In front of their confrontation, many people kept their mouths shut.
Carthew, Rochester, and Declan were calm and silent. They just watched, not bothering to give them advice or dig things further, as if they also wanted to see who was stronger.
When the other two's confrontation was tense, Prince Morgan suddenly screamed. "Wait a minute!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at him, including Leona and Alavid, who were about to attack each other. They all stopped, frowning at him and waiting for him to talk.
"The King says, no confrontation." Morgan was holding a special metal token with a crown carved on it in his hand. It didn't look like silver or gold. He caressed the crown and touched it again.
A flow of magical soul fluctuation shot out of the crown, which diverged and then fell on Leona and Alavid respectively. The two then quieted down and bent their bodies, as if they were listening to the King's advice.
Morgan laughed. "As the five great feudal vassals are all here, we can start the Extreme Purgatory Field's training."
He suddenly pitched his voice, then threw the crown in his hand into the air. A magical energy scattered, falling on the Purgatory Tokens on the waists of all the contestants. At the same time, clusters of light shot out from the surrounding monster-shaped mountains one by one.
Each of the clusters confined an extreme inmate, flying towards an area far from this square.
At least two hundred prisoners with different realms being delivered to somewhere. The lowest realm among them was the First Sky of King God Realm. Some were even at the Third Sky of King God Realm cultivation base. They were being dragged towards the Extreme Purgatory Field under an unknown force.
Leylin looked down and felt a magical energy fluctuation emitting from the Purgatory Token on his waist. It seemed like some seal had been lifted.
"Anyone with the Purgatory Token can join this competition. The Purgatory Token on your waist is the key to entering the field. Once you get in the Extreme Purgatory Field, you can't get out before the time is up." Morgan lifted his head and explained slowly.
"There are no rules in the Extreme Purgatory Field. You can kill anyone! Prisoners, contestants, even your partners! At the end, who kills the most will have a chance to meet the King and receive the rewards. The tokens on your waists have the life sensing power. You can detect your prey's location with its help. Assess your power, then choose your preys."
'I don't want to kill just anyone, I want everyone. I wonder would your king be pleased with such bloodshed. From what I know of him, Caligula Arman would be euphoric.'
At this moment, a contestant holding the Purgatory Token started to move.
Leona was talking to her three warriors with a cold visage. Her bloodthirsty green eyes often glared at Aagon.
She seemed to instruct her warriors to kill him and the other two warriors of his team in the Extreme Purgatory Field.
Alavid was grinning fiendishly, as he didn't show that his team was weaker than her team. Apparently, he had the same thought as Leona, that they would compete again in the Extreme Purgatory Field.
Leylin didn't waste any time and flew up by himself. From his calm composure it seemed like the whole ordeal didn't phase him one bit, everyone can't help but be impressed by his nerve of steel.
Even in the face of an Original God expert and threat of death he remained calm. Alavid can't help but grit his teeth in anger looking at Leylin's calm face, from the start Leylin looked at him as if the whole situation was in his hand and Alavid can't do anything against him.
"Aagon, If you don't torture that bastard to death, you are not my nephew."
"I won't disappoint you uncle, I'll torture him with hundreds of ways and record it in fantasy stone for you to enjoy later."
Aagon laughed evily as he and the other two warriors bent to say goodbye, then flew up in Leylin's direction.
"Alavid, wanna bet with me?" Leona said, "I'm going to use the next life star to bet with you. I bet that your nephew will die and Leylin will survive."
Carthew, Declan, Rochester, and Morgan were baffled. They disbelievingly looked at the infamous woman, whose brutal reputation had been spread wide.
"I'll play with you!" Alavid shouted, his face ferocious.
...
After leaving the mountain range, Leylin turned into a bunch of light, flying rapidly towards the Extreme Purgatory Field as guided by his Purgatory Token.
Leylin didn't care about anything else, just accelerating towards the Extreme Purgatory Field with cold eyes and a composed visage.
Groups of prisoners were driven by some unknown force and moved into the Extreme Purgatory Field.
From time to time, a bunch of light darted by him. They all headed to a different side of the Extreme Purgatory Field.
The Extreme Purgatory Field was a vast place, situated on half of the Purgatory Star. Dangers hid in the mountains, lakes, and immense forests in this area.
Through his stay in Carthew palace, Leylin got to know that highly authorized staff had created the barriers, formations, and restrictions in this area.
They said that the Extreme Purgatory Field was a magical formation in itself, which had snatched the control of Nature. With the additional barriers and restrictions, it became the one of the most dangerous areas in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation.
Even without competition and the villains of the Raging Flame Star Area, warriors entering this area would encounter a lot of dangers. They had to be cautious about countering the manmade traps.
This area had so many terrifying places, which were much harsher than even the cold, dark outer space.
Anyway, the most dangerous place often hid the best fortunate encounters. The Extreme Purgatory Field was a place like that.
Leylin's figure suddenly turned illusionary as he flashed, then disappeared into the gap between two grand mountains. After a while, he disappeared completely from plain sight.
The Extreme Purgatory Field was extremely vast with endless rivers, mountain ranges, big lakes, and forest with luxuriant floras.
Leylin strolled in a dark forest with hundred-meter-diameter trees. He had sent his Soul Consciousness into the Purgatory Token to sense.
When he reached a cave, he stopped, sat down neatly.
Strange drawings and patterns were carved at the entrance. They were the restrictions and barriers he had learnt from the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success and modified them with A. I. Chip assistance.
He knew how to make the magical formations, restrictions, and barriers that naked eyes couldn't see. Only some special Soul Consciousness could sense them.
There were various types of illusion arrays, attack arrays, defense arrays, detection arrays etc all around the place.
Leylin had set up this formation around the cave. Staying in the cave and with the hindrance provided naturally with the mist, people from the outside couldn't see anything and disturb him.
Inside the cave.
"Come out, both of you." Leylin sat cross legged in the corner as he said and the Blood Vein Ring flashed with bright lights.
A bunch of lights dispersed from it as King of Demonic Insect and Ghost Hunter appeared before him.
King of Demonic Insect had two shiny green oak eyes, as big as soybeans and emitting cold green lights filled with a bloodthirsty feeling. After it's successful breakthrough to Level 9 as well as many body refining conducted by Leylin, and nourishment from the Immortal Demon Blood it's physical body was extremely durable, even comparable to a God Body.
Next to him stood a young man wearing black-gray garments. He was indifferent and cold like a rock. His long hair gave him a peculiarly wicked look as if a bunch of snakes on his head.
The outlines on his face looked like they were carved right out of marble with distinctive edges and corners. His pupils were terrifyingly red.
"Master!"
