The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3283 - 3278: Danger Level_1

The enormous maw formed the gateway to the Earth Spirit Hall in this place. A throng of formidable cultivators streamed inside, with towering root-shaped pillars lining the interior. A majestic presence struck everyone head-on, while Yang Chen detected nothing but an utterly dignified Qi.

Stepping through this gigantic opening revealed the hall's expansive layout, all laid bare at a single view. Pathways branched out in abundance, leaving Yang Chen clueless about the right path to choose.

"Daoist Mo, this Earth Spirit Hall branches off in so many ways. Which direction should we take?" Yang Chen inquired.

Mo Wenfeng ran a hand over his beard and replied, "Within the Earth Spirit Hall, treatments vary by Merit Grade. For folks like us, we should make for the bustling eastern section. Notice that Sub-hall over there—it's meant for those with modest Merits such as ours."

Yang Chen gave a nod. True to Mo Wenfeng's description, the vast eastern Sub-hall teemed with far more individuals than the surrounding areas.

That spot was typically reserved for cultivators bearing lower Merits.

As Yang Chen trailed after Mo Wenfeng, a sudden clamor erupted from the gathering.

"Hey, that's the King of Destruction!"

"The King of Destruction has arrived!"

"Word is, the King of Destruction ventured into the Sky Blue Realm recently. It's a perilous spot, yet brimming with treasures. Can't imagine the haul of Merits he'll claim this round."

"Hasn't the King of Destruction held Seventh-Level Merit for ages now? He could very well hit Eighth-Level Merit on this trip."

"Eighth-Level Merit? I'm green with jealousy. Why can't we pack that kind of punch even in the Heavenly Separation Realm?"

In a flash, the crowd brimmed with jealousy and gazed at him in profound admiration.

Yang Chen and Mo Wenfeng turned toward the noise, spotting the King of Destruction as a figure clad in azure armor, sporting cropped neat hair, a thick beard, and narrow eyes that conveyed a cunning, scheming vibe.

The King of Destruction now dominated the whispers swirling through the throng, yet he appeared accustomed to the attention, striding toward a sparsely populated zone. No sooner had he approached than a group of alluring female Heavenly Separation Realm cultivators approached with warm smiles, offering him attentive service.

Witnessing the scene, Mo Wenfeng remarked, "That's the perk of elevated Merit levels. Observe the King of Destruction—with his Seventh-Level Merit, he's barely back in the Earth Spirit Hall before attendants swarm to welcome him. It looks like the Earth Spirit Hall assigns dedicated personnel to strategize and escort such elites on their missions."

"High Merits come with perks like that?" Yang Chen expressed surprise.

"Absolutely. Take the King of Destruction—he's a prime fighting force for the Earth Spirit Hall, so they pamper him accordingly. For our sort, we're lucky just to avoid scorn." Mo Wenfeng shook his head, his gaze brimming with longing as he tracked the King of Destruction's departure, yearning to ascend to such elite status right away.

Yang Chen grasped the situation now.

Within the Earth Spirit Hall, cultivators at the same realm showed vast disparities in standing.

"Does the Earth Spirit Hall reserve its top honors for the King of Destruction among Heavenly Separation Realm powerhouses?" Yang Chen questioned.

Mo Wenfeng responded, "Far from it. There exist even mightier Heavenly Separation Realm figures surpassing the King of Destruction. A few boast Merits up to the Eighth Level, though they're shadowy legends. I've caught rumors of them, but never laid eyes on any."

Yang Chen nodded, absorbing fresh insights.

The King of Destruction sparked a brief ripple of excitement, soon fading as the Earth Spirit Hall settled back into its routine. Yang Chen stuck close to Mo Wenfeng, slipping into the Sub-hall designated for low-Merit individuals.

The Sub-hall sprawled impressively wide, yet it swarmed with even greater numbers.

Still, what first drew Yang Chen's eye upon arrival wasn't the crowd, but the peculiar glows radiating throughout the Sub-hall.

This odd luminescence piqued Yang Chen's curiosity. Peering more intently, he noticed tiny stars suspended mid-air. Each resembled a compact star realm, with myriad versions displayed before the onlookers, sparking his intrigue over their function.

"Daoist Friend Mo, what exactly are these?" Yang Chen wondered aloud.

A host of mighty cultivators lingered before these small star realms, scrutinizing them intently, though their exact actions remained unclear.

Mo Wenfeng leaned in, noting Yang Chen's bewilderment. "Brother Yang Chen, my first visit here left me just as baffled. It took endless questions to figure it out. For you and me to pick up missions, these miniature stars hold the key."

"How so?" Yang Chen pressed.

"Brother Yang Chen, stick with me, and it'll click once you examine them up close." Mo Wenfeng smoothed his beard.

Yang Chen agreed with a nod, accompanying Mo Wenfeng right up to the array of miniature stars.

"Brother Yang Chen, send your soul to probe any star you like." Mo Wenfeng instructed.

Following the advice, Yang Chen directed his soul toward one of the stars.

The moment his soul delved in, a flood of details surged into his consciousness. Yang Chen jolted briefly, then appeared to piece it together.

Noticing Yang Chen's dawning realization, Mo Wenfeng chuckled. "These miniature stars depict the hazardous worlds across our human universe, numbering in the millions. They're all replicated here, complete with simulated positions. Should Brother Yang Chen fancy a particular star realm, simply scan its miniature counterpart with your soul to uncover the threat rating of that plane and the required Merit objectives."

Yang Chen nodded. Drawing from Mo Wenfeng's explanation and his own soul probe of the miniature stars, he gained deeper knowledge of the Earth Spirit Hall.

Just as he'd discovered in the Taiyuan Star System, the Earth Spirit Hall alongside the Ancient Divine Realm handled threats from alien races endangering the human universe.

Every one of these planes stood as targets for the Earth Spirit Hall.

Cultivators were free to venture into any plane, with no oversight or interference. Methods to secure Jiyu Essence lay scattered across these realms.

For instance, dismantling a star realm's Gates of Life and Death would earn Jiyu Essence.

Slaying a formidable Alien within the realm would likewise procure Jiyu Essence.

Or, by saving lives or harvesting precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, rewards could be claimed.

Every mission detail was etched into the miniature stars, instantly accessible via a soul scan.

Each star offered plenty of objectives, so cultivators typically banded together with fellow powerhouses for expeditions, creating teams. Solo journeys more often than not ended in disaster.

"Brother Yang Chen, take your time later to browse which plane appeals to you. If something stumps you, feel free to consult me or assess the threat levels of various realms. These ratings prove trustworthy. As a rule, few dare venture into perils exceeding their Merit rank."
