The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1834: Chapter 1834: Submitting the Mission

In front of Jing Yan and his companions, a vast crowd of indigenous creatures knelt in worship, singing praises of their merits.

"On this continent, are there any other imprisoned living beings still alive?" Jing Yan looked at these people and asked in a calm voice.

"To answer Lord Chaos Slayer, on this continent, only we are still alive. The others are either dead or devoured by Devouring Sky Clan life forms," replied a Taoist Realm native, raising his head slightly.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Because the mark on Jing Yan’s chest was a grey ring, indicating that Jing Yan wasn’t even a genuine One-Circle Slayer, just a newcomer. Yet beside Jing Yan, there were Second Ring Slayers. So, why did it seem like the person in charge was this newcomer who wasn’t even a real Slayer?

Of course, though curious at heart, he didn’t dare to ask more.

"Hmm! The Devouring Sky Clan life forms on this continent have been exterminated. You’re safe now, disperse! We, I have to leave." Jing Yan nodded.

Although this continent is incomplete, it can still sustain life. As for whether these saved creatures wish to stay here or leave this mini continent, it’s not Jing Yan’s concern.

"Everyone, shall we go?" Jing Yan looked towards Gu Mie and the others.

"As Lord Jing Yan commands!" Gu Mie and the others immediately responded.

Seeing this, the indigenous people found it even stranger. A Second Ring Slayer actually referred to a newcomer as ’Lord.’

This was too strange.

Moreover, the Devouring Sky Clan beings were exterminated? Was Ju E really dead?

As the indigenous people looked on in confusion, Jing Yan and the five Chaos Slayers flew away. In the void, Gu Mie summoned a Chaos Flying Ship, and everyone boarded the Chaos Flying Ship to return to the continent they came from.

"Lord Jing Yan, my Chaos Flying Ship can’t compare with the Chaos Flying Ship of the Slaughter God Temple. There’s quite a discrepancy in speed," Gu Mie said to Jing Yan with a dry laugh.

This Chaos Flying Ship indeed cannot compare in speed to the Slaughter God Temple’s Chaos Flying Ship. However, it’s much faster than the Chaos Flying Ship Jing Yan possesses.

Slayers retrieve tasks from the Slaughter God Temple, and typically, the temple takes responsibility for transporting Slayers to the task location. However, the temple does not arrange for their return. After completing a task, Slayers must return on their own.

"This Chaos Flying Ship is already good, faster than mine," Jing Yan smiled.

"Oh?" Gu Mie was momentarily taken aback. Does Lord Jing Yan not have a better Chaos Flying Ship?

"If Lord Jing Yan likes this Chaos Flying Ship, I can give it to you," Gu Mie said immediately.

Such a Chaos Flying Ship is not cheap and requires about a hundred Star Stones to purchase.

"Daoist Gu Mie, no need to be polite. This kind of Chaos Flying Ship is dispensable for me, and it doesn’t serve much purpose," Jing Yan declined Gu Mie’s offer.

"Indeed, a strong figure like Lord Jing Yan should be flying a Chaos Flying Ship of the grade from the Slaughter God Temple," Gu Mie laughed.

After flying for over thirty years, Jing Yan and the five Slayers returned to the previous continent.

This continent belonging to Laning Country doesn’t have a specific name. Its scale is too small in Chaos, only the larger continents have fixed names. If it has a fixed name, it would be marked on the Chaos Map Ancestor Hong Jun gave Jing Yan.

The five of them, Jing Yan and his companions, went directly to the Slaughter God Temple to submit their task. Including Lian Jingyan, all five were somewhat excited. Although there was a discrepancy in the intelligence of this task, it was completed without danger. It’s worth mentioning that without Jing Yan, Gu Mie and the other four would have certainly met their end; they had no chance of escaping from Ju E.

"We are here to submit a slaughter task!" Jing Yan and the five approached a staff member of the Slaughter God Temple.

This staff member was a woman named Jie Ying, she had been working at the Slaughter God Temple for a long time, responsible for Slayers retrieving and submitting tasks.

Seeing the five of them coming together to submit a task, she understood they had completed a group task of this slaughter task type.

She nodded to Jing Yan and said, "Please hand me your task tokens."

One by one, Jing Yan and the others handed over their task tokens to Jie Ying.

Jie Ying glanced briefly and said, "The task you accepted is an official group One Ring Task, please follow me."

Jie Ying took the lead.

Next is to verify the completion of the task and then distribute reward points. This allocation of slaughter points follows a standard by the Slaughter God Temple, it’s not randomly done. During the execution of a slaughter task, some changes might occur. These changes can result in reward modifications. Then, based on team members’ performance during the task, slaughter points are allocated accordingly.

Jing Yan and others followed Jie Ying into a side hall.

"Please, Slayers, accept the task completion inspection!" Jie Ying said to Jing Yan and the others.

Except for Jing Yan and Luo Bing, the others were familiar with the process.

Jing Yan and Luo Bing also followed instructions, standing on a slightly elevated platform in the center of the side hall.

A moment later, a faint wave of obscure energy descended. This energy was exactly the same as the one that descended when Jing Yan registered as a Slayer.

At this moment, an expression of shock appeared on Jie Ying’s face, which was originally indifferent.

"What’s going on?"

"This... this..."

"No way! There’s a problem, but how could the Investigation Hall go wrong?"

"A One Ring Task has actually... actually become a Three-Ring Group Task!"

Above Jing Yan and others, three silver rings were clearly glowing in succession. If it were a One Ring Task, there would be one silver ring. The appearance of three silver rings means it’s a Three-Ring Slaughter Task.

Yet Jing Yan had accepted a One Ring Task.

Jie Ying couldn’t figure it out, she thought something went wrong during the detection process.

Indeed, variations can occur during slaughter tasks. However, from a One Ring Task becoming a Three-Ring Task, this was unheard of. In normal circumstances, even upgrading from a One Ring Task to a Second Ring Task is extremely rare. Jie Ying had only witnessed a task upgrade once during her long tenure at the Slaughter God Temple, which upgraded from One Ring to Second Ring. As for a One Ring Task directly upgrading to Three Rings, she neither had seen nor heard of it.

Moreover, if the task difficulty directly jumped from One Ring to Three Rings, the Slayers undertaking the task seemingly couldn’t complete such a task. If a Slayer had the ability to accomplish a Three-Ring Task, why would they accept a One Ring Task?
