Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 922: Chapter 343: Battle’s End, Extra Rewards

The City Lord wasn’t surprised he knew about this civilization, and nodded.

Cao Xing’s pupils suddenly contracted.

To be honest, he was very curious about this ancient civilization.

The ancient weapons on him partly looked like the hot weapons on the Blue Star, but the technology level far surpassed that of the Blue Star.

It can be imagined that this civilization once developed to a quite prosperous level on the continent.

However, such a vast civilization silently perished, and no one even knows what happened.

This also made Cao Xing sigh, this vast continent holds too many secrets!

The City Lord continued: "Few know about this city, and those who qualify to enter are strong beings."

"Over the years, they’ve been secretly exploring this lost royal city."

"But after so long, not even one percent of the whole lost royal city has been explored."

"But just this one percent has brought the powerful beings astonishing rewards!"

"They include resources to swiftly break through to Heroic Level, magic potions to greatly enhance war power, and some mechas with master level war power."

"And the most important discovery is the ancient duel arena."

At this moment, Cao Xing was completely intrigued.

After all, just by listening to the City Lord’s description, he could imagine how immense the opportunities hidden within that city were.

If he could explore it all, wouldn’t he ascend to the heavens?

He asked, "What’s inside the duel arena? Why is it the most important place?"

The City Lord explained, "As the name suggests, those who enter the ancient duel arena must undergo strong beings trial."

"And as long as they complete the strong beings trial, they will receive generous rewards. The more trials completed, the higher the rewards."

"Back then, I completed the third trial and obtained a drop of mysterious blood, which broke the life limit and turned me into a dominator level creature."

"Moreover, this drop of blood gave me power stronger than other dominators!"

"It’s said that those who complete the fourth trial will not only receive richer rewards but also gain the title of Champion Fighter."

Hearing "Champion Fighter," Cao Xing squinted his eyes.

Wasn’t the old man he met before with this title?

Does that mean Chino once visited that lost royal city?

From this perspective, he is indeed terrifying!

Even the City Lord only completed the third trial, yet he managed to pass the fourth.

It implies that Chino’s power is at least Seventh Rank.

So, is he a Heroic Level being?

Thinking about this, Cao Xing’s curiosity towards the lost royal city and the ancient duel arena grew even stronger!

He continued asking, "Are there higher trials?"

The City Lord pondered for a moment, then affirmed, "Yes!"

"But so far, no one has succeeded."

"No one knows what rewards are obtained from passing higher trials either."

Cao Xing nodded in realization.

The City Lord’s information was invaluable, completely compensating for the two life-saving favors earlier.

The next moment, the City Lord continued, "I know that one piece of information can’t compare to your benevolent act of saving my life."

"I promise you, after I report back to the King this time."

"If you encounter any issues later, as long as you come to me, I will provide help within the limits of my principles!"

"Even if it costs my life in battle!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, a smile crept on Cao Xing’s lips.

He couldn’t deny that although this guy’s mind was not very bright, he was straightforward as a person.

He didn’t mind Cao Xing’s demon identity and only saw him as a lifesaver.

Cao Xing chuckled, "I remember your words. You are a principled City Lord, and I admire your noble character."

"Well then, I look forward to our next meeting, City Lord Oran."

The City Lord stood still and nodded solemnly.

With that, Cao Xing left with his people.

As he watched the group of black figures completely leave.

The City Lord seemed to recall something, staring dazedly at his body.

"This...you left, what about the chains on me?"

...

...

Meanwhile.

Not long after the three Archbishops were eliminated by Cao Xing.

The Light Church soon noticed something.

In a magnificent underground palace, the young man seated on a giant throne suddenly had a drastic change in expression!

He quickly stood up, walked briskly to a colossal statue.

He seemed intent on verifying something.

The statue depicted a man with folded arms, standing over bright flames.

Beside the statue floated hundreds of light orbs, big and small.

And when he saw.

That three light orbs had lost their luminance, his expression turned sullen as water!

"Damn it! What’s Sullivan up to?"

"Didn’t I tell him to distract the army, so why did this happen?"

"Damn! Damn!"

The young man cursed angrily.

In the grand underground palace, other church members looked baffled.

This was the first time they witnessed the Light Seed lose control like this.

An elder also in yellow robes, seemingly sixty or so, stepped forward asking, "Child of Light...what happened?"

"What has perturbed you so?"

The young man clenched his fists, his entire body shaking violently.

He took a deep breath, speaking word by word.
