Episode 9 – Famous Under Heaven Chapter 40 – The Secret of the Yulan Continent

This sentence instantly blinded Linley.

Revenge for what?

“No!” Linley instantly realized that there was indeed an injustice in Old Four’s death.

Linley took Yale’s hand, “Boss Yale, calm down, go, go to my place, you’ll tell me what happened in detail.” Yale also nodded slightly.

Coming into Linley’s courtyard.

“Old Four’s death, what’s going on?” Linley’s face was serious.

Yale solemnly said, “Lao San, Lao Si was patrolling outside with his own people that day, but who would have thought that they would have encountered the Luo Ao Empire’s army, Lao Si’s people were too few, and even after putting their lives on the line, they were only able to escape dozens of people such as Lao Si, and dozens of Lao Si and the others escaped to underneath Nier City. And at this moment the pursuing enemies only add up to three hundred.”

“Three hundred?” Linley felt incredulous.

“Yes, just because of the people from the Luo Ao Empire, shooting arrows towards the citadel. And at that time, Prince Yulin was at was on the city tower. That arrow stunned Prince Yulin, and he immediately ordered that no one be allowed to open the gates of the city and for anyone to stand firm. Just to protect his safety. As for Old Four and dozens of others, they shouted angrily from below to ‘open the city gates’, but no one dared to open the doors …… Just like that, Old Four and a bunch of others were killed.”

Anger burned in Linley’s heart.

He could completely imagine that scene, Old Four and the others woefully shouting ‘open the city gates’, but Prince Yulin had rigidly ordered that no one should open the city gates. Nor did he let anyone go to the rescue.

Lao Si died just like that.

He died so unjustly, he could have not died!

“Where’s Old Four’s body?” Linley immediately asked after him.

Yale said bitterly, “According to our intelligence from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, Old Four was first hit with an arrow in the shoulder, and then after being slashed in the chest by an enemy’s battle sword, Old Four collapsed under the corner. And then the enemy leader. He captured Old Four’s body and took it away.”

“What?” Linley couldn’t believe it, “Three hundred people, underneath Nier City. The defenders not only didn’t attack, but also allowed them to take away Old Four’s corpse?”

It was ridiculous.

“To be precise, the vast majority of those three hundred people were out of range, and it was only a dozen or so experts who really attacked. Those dozen or so experts don’t care about arrows at all.” Yale’s heart was bitter, “Those dozen or so experts, killed Lao Si and them, took away Lao Si’s corpse …… and under Prince Yulin’s order, no one in the garrison of Nier City dared to go to war without authorization.”

The soldiers of the O’Brien Empire did indeed follow military orders.

But such a ridiculous order. Yet it was extremely embarrassing.

“Old Four ……,” Linley’s mind recalled Old Four being under the walls of Narniare City, shouting ‘open the gates’ in grief, but the defenders on the citadel indifferently didn’t even open the gates.

To die so unjustly, Linley’s heart also had a strong sense of unwillingness.

Old four, should not have died ah!

“This Joanne, with the Dunstan family. Surprisingly, they all lied to me.” After Linley knew the truth at this moment, his heart also somewhat understood, that the Dunstan family was afraid that they had done this in order to not offend Prince Yulin and His Majesty Qiao An.

“So, there’s that what’s-her-name Prince Yulin behind it!” Anger was rising in Linley’s heart.

He had heard of Prince Yulin’s great name long ago. This His Majesty Qiao An was famous for being protective of his shortcomings, and his brother, who had little ability, had managed to become the controller of a province. From this, it could be imagined that His Majesty Qiao An doted on his younger brother.

“Old Three, I can only rely on you for Old Four’s revenge.” Yale said sadly.

Yale was also blaming himself at this time in his heart, he also wanted to take revenge, but. His strength was too weak. And the Dawson Chamber of Commerce wasn’t his either.

Linley nodded, a few wisps of sternness leaking out of his eyes, “That Prince Yulin killed Lao San. Then. He must die as well.” Linley turned to look at Yale, “Yale, you rest here first. I’m going to go out.”

“What for? Going out now?”

“No.”

Linley shook his head indifferently. “If I go directly to kill Prince Yulin. It’s expected that that His Majesty Johan will retaliate against the Dunstan clan …… Oldest Four died, and I don’t want to, let his land’s clan decline as well.”

Martial God Mountain.

Linley was currently standing in front of the door to the cave where the Martial God was in seclusion, standing quietly, when a person flew in at extreme speed from the distance, none other than Kasloth.

“Linley, what are you?” Kasroth said suspiciously.

“I want to see the Martial God.” Linley replied.

Casrot nodded, “In that case, I’ll inform you.” But at that moment, a voice simultaneously sounded in the ears of both Linley and Kasloth, “Linley, come in.”

Linley had already performed his Wind Shadow Technique long ago, and immediately flew into the cave, following the familiar path into the deep cavern. It fell towards the bottom for thousands of meters before reaching the bottom.

A moment later, Linley arrived in front of the dark stone door.

“Snort~~~” terrifyingly high temperatures scorched the crimson stone walls.

Linley respectfully said, “Lord Martial God, I suppose you already know about my battle with Hedson, and I think I should be qualified to know what you called the secrets of the land in the first place.”

“Come in.” The indifferent voice of the Martial God rang out.

“Rumble~~~” The dark stone door was automatically pulled up towards, revealing the entrance to the passage. A terrifying heat wave poured out.

Linley’s Dragonblood Dou Qi naturally formed a ‘pulsating defense’ on his body surface.

“What a hot place.” Linley was also surprised to see the depths of this cave. Only to see that in the distance of the cave in front of him was a large magma lake that was a hundred meters long and wide, and the ground magma was flowing in that magma lake, and that wasn’t the most shocking thing.

Let a person shocked …… is the magma lake cohesion over the foot nearly three meters in diameter of the fireball.

This fireball, the body red, that terrible heat wave is from that suspended in the air fireball constantly transmitted, can force Lin Lei to use the ‘pulsation defense’, can imagine the terrible heat wave.

At the temperature of ordinary magma, even if Linley was close, that temperature wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

Even if he jumped into the middle of the magma, he would only need to hold up his Dou Qi. There was even less need to use ‘pulsating defense’. Linley suddenly realized something-

“Where’s Lord Martial God?” Linley looked around suspiciously.

The surrounding space was clear at a glance, and apart from the magma lake in the center, the surrounding open space was clear at a glance. But there just wasn’t a single silhouette.

“Linley!” The Martial God’s indifferent voice unexpectedly carried over from that hovering fireball.

Linley looked at the hovering fireball in surprise.

Could it be that the Martial God was that fireball?

Only a blurry figure emerged from within the suspended ball of light. In a flash, that blurry figure arrived on the ground next to the magma lake.

This person was none other than the Martial God.

Linley looked closely at this continent’s legendary ‘Martial God’. The Martial God wasn’t too tall, just about one meter eight. His appearance appeared to be only in his thirties, his eyebrows were thick, and that long reddish hair was as long as his waist. When Linley looked closely, he actually realized that flames were burning in that crimson hair.

The Martial God’s face was as cold as rock, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

The entire person gave off a feeling of dominance when they raised their hands. In particular, that terrifying pressure unexpectedly caused Linley to feel palpitations.

So strong!

“Greetings to the Martial God.” Linley said respectfully.

The Martial God took a closer look at Linley, a smile vaguely appearing at the corners of his mouth as he nodded his head lightly, “Not bad. I watched the battle between you and Hedson. Your attacks, they were very interesting.”

A small smile also appeared on Linley’s face.

“Lord Martial God, I should have the qualifications to know the secrets of the continent now, right?” Linley had long since decided in his heart to come and meet the Martial God before he set off for the Domain of Chaos.

And now. He himself was going to avenge Old Four.

Linley had already planned that after avenging Old Four, he would immediately set off for the Collar of Chaos. And by meeting the Martial God, not only would he know the secret, but he could also rely on the Martial God’s influence to oppress Qiao An a bit.

If there was anyone that Qiao An was most afraid of? It was undoubtedly the Martial God!

“Linley. The attack you comprehended is indeed very special. Your strength nowadays is indeed comparable to Hedson’s, enough to be qualified to know the secrets of the Yulan Continent.” The Martial God said indifferently.

Linley listened carefully from the side.

“Linley, do you know how I became a god?” The Martial God suddenly looked at Linley.

“Wasn’t it comprehending, breaking through the limits of the Saint realm, and reaching the God realm?” Linley looked at the Martial God in confusion.

The martial god shook his head slightly, “The god level, it’s not that easy to break through. It’s that Hisser. With a talent that high, it also took more than five thousand years to reach the divine level. As for me,…… although I reached the limit of the Holy Realm in the beginning. But the last step was difficult to cross out. In that one fight more than five thousand years ago. I was lucky enough to obtain a lower god’s godhead. I fused this divine lattice …… so, I reached the divine realm.”

Linley froze.

That blown-up supreme Martial God. It turned out that it was only after obtaining a lower god’s divine lattice that he had broken through.

“What, disappointed?” The Martial God smiled faintly.

Linley shook his head, “No, the Martial God spent hundreds of years back then to reach the limit of the Saint realm. It was already admirable. Your great disciple, Faun, has also been cultivating for thousands of years and should be at the Saint realm limit today.”

The Martial God smiled.

He was very satisfied with Linley’s answer, indeed, reaching the Holy Realm limit in hundreds of years was indeed very rare.

“Saint realm limits are actually very difficult to cultivate, to be able to cultivate to a Saint realm limit, one must have taken a certain path in the interior of the elemental law to the final step. And when one reaches that level, the ground needed is an epiphany! In an instant, that aspect of the Elemental Laws is fused together. Only then will it be considered a success.”

The Martial God lamented, “In the entire Yulan Continent, reaching the limit of the Holy Realm is just one final step away from entering the Divine Realm. A few decades ago, there were still six people. Now Hisser has broken through. There are still five Saint Domain Limits left. Among them is Fahn.”

“Nowadays, in the Yulan Continent, apart from the five great God-level experts, the strongest ones are Fahn and the five of them. You should know about Fahn’s strength.”

Linley nodded slightly.

Linley now, too, was truly beginning to come into contact with the latent side of the Yulan Continent.

“Lord Martial God, what level is the Pope of Light’s strength, if calculated amongst the latent powerhouses?” Linley was definitely going to have to deal with the Pope of Light in the future. It was only natural to ask for clarification.

“The Pope of Light?”

The Martial God paused and said, “Among the latent powerhouses of the continent, aside from the divine level, below them are the five great extreme powerhouses such as Faun. The ones that are just one step away from reaching the God level. Below that, there is the level of the Pope of Light, and there are roughly a dozen people at this level. Further below that, was the level of Hedson. Most of the continent’s latent powerhouses are at Hedson’s level.”

“Pope of Light, stronger than Black Desen?” Linley made a mental note.

The Martial God glanced at Linley: “The Pope of Light, cultivating the Great Prophecy Technique. The Great Prophecy Technique is extremely terrifying in its power, and it’s normal for him to be a step stronger than Hedson.”

Linley looked at the Martial God and inquired, “Lord Martial God, what about the secret of the Yulan Continent? What exactly is it?” Linley had always been curious.

What was it about this Yulan Continent that attracted so many powerful people to stay in this realm, “The Yulan Continent, amongst the gods amongst the Supreme Plane, actually has another name.” A hint of triumph appeared on the Martial God’s face.

“What appellation?” Linley’s eyes lit up.

“The Graveyard of the Gods!” The Martial God said softly.

“Graveyard of the Gods?” Linley’s heart snapped, “Lord Martial God, even if the Gods died, they wouldn’t have to be interred in our Yulan Continent Plane, would they?”

“Certainly not interment.” The Martial God smiled faintly, “More than five thousand years ago, other-dimensional powerhouses descended, many of them at the God level. Even middle and upper level gods, they fought in the Yulan Continent Realm, and as a result, except for a few otherworldly powerhouses who left in the end, almost all of them died.”
