"Hahaha"
"Where to escape!"
"Li Yan!"
"That's it!"
Amidst the crazed laughter, a man in ancient oriental attire wielded a large sword, with a blindfold over his left eye, confronting a young man in a suit.
The young man named Li Yan panted heavily, his face pale and his body marred with wounds. Weakly, he asked, "Zhao An! Our Li family has treated you well, yet you do this?!"
"Hahaha"
Zhao An laughed arrogantly. "People die for money, and birds die for food! Your Li family is just a branch of His Majesty the Emperor. And you? A so-called genius, Li Yan! A natural martial arts prodigy? What a pity! You never grew up."
"A genius who awakens but is still trash. Li Yan, today I will bring ruin to your Li family."
With sword in hand, a gust of wind surged forth. Although the Wind Saber Technique was only a third-rate skill, Zhao An showcased it to its fullest potential.
It was impressive, indeed a testament to his talent in cultivating the technique to such a level.
"How infuriating!"
Faced with Zhao An's onslaught, Li Yan struggled to defend himself. In his prime, he would have easily dismissed Zhao An, but after enduring dozens of battles over three days and nights, he was utterly exhausted, his injuries too severe.
"Die!"
As Zhao An's sword fell, Li Yan was sent tumbling off the cliff, unable to withstand the attack.
"Ah!!!"
"Brother?!"
"Should we continue chasing?"
The horsemen around rushed over, eyes wide with concern as they watched Li Yan plummet.
Zhao An, brandishing his large sword, coldly declared, "Chase after him! I want the whole mountain searched. If you want to find him, you'll face death!"
"Yes!"
The horsemen immediately dispersed. Zhao An, filled with a terrifying killing intent, sneered, "Li Yan, remember! You won't survive!"
As Li Yan fell off the cliff, his soul roared in defiance: "Li Huo, if I don't survive, I swear I will overthrow your Li Dynasty!!!"
"Do you want power?"
"Do you want revenge?"
"Become the Warrior of Hades, and you shall gain the power for revenge!"
"Give me strength!"
Suddenly, a voice full of magic echoed in Li Yan's ears. Without hesitation, he shouted frantically, "Give me power! I want revenge no matter what kind of power it is! Even if it costs my soul, or the world itself, I will do anything for revenge!"
"Contract reached!!!"
The magical voice transformed into a purple skull. With a strange laugh, dark purple flames ignited, and as the flames of the underworld blazed, the Skyburst star Benu Underworld garment emerged, instantly decomposing and merging with Li Yan's body.
"Ah!!!"
Li Yan let out a wild roar, forcibly transformed by Benu Underworld garment, granting him the power he shouldn't have possessed in this low martial arts world.
At the same time, a voluptuous and charming woman was undergoing transformation via the Mandala Flower Mingyi.
"Is this power?"
"Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your gift!"
"The Li Dynasty! Your end is near!"
As the flames dissipated, Li Yan, now clad in the Benu ghost garments, radiated a terrifying murderous intent. The time for revenge was at hand.
Skyburst · Bennu · Li Yan.
Omen Star · Mandala Flower · Sapphire.
These individuals were chosen by the magic star within this small world. Next, they would be controlled by the magic star as ghost fighters, gradually completing the tasks assigned to them by Hades: to destroy this world, conquer it, and uncover its original core.
Indeed, incubating a world seed was a monumental challenge, requiring immense power and time, something even Hades could not accomplish quickly.
However, after the world seed devoured the original core of Hell and experienced rapid growth, Hades realized he could use other small worlds as nourishment to nurture the world seed and forge his own Kingdom of God.
While this process was cumbersome and difficult, involving the crossing of the Crystal Wall system, Hades was willing to take the risk, weighing the pros and cons.
It became clear that although Hades himself could not traverse the Chaos Sea to reach other small worlds, he could send the two magic stars with dark garments and summon two dark fighters. This would be sufficient.
In most small worlds, having a strong individual comparable to the sixth sense was considered exceptional. But achieving the seventh sense? That was nearly the hallmark of a chosen one, capable of guiding the world's evolution.
Moreover, directly destroying the world would yield only one-tenth or two-tenths of its original core.
By conquering this world, allowing it to decline naturally, and uncovering the deeply hidden source core, Hades could devour seven-tenths or even more of the original core.
That was Hades' true objective.
This world was merely the beginning. With the two underworld fighters as the foundation, the complete consumption of this world would soon follow. This time, it wouldn't take long.
After all, this was just a low-level martial arts world, and it wouldn't be long before the benefits and effects of this method became evident.
All Hades had to do was wait patiently.
