Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Amber

Esther shot Zen a meaningful look.

With Zen's mysterious ways, he didn't even need the help of the Demon Night; the ogres wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

At this moment, Esther couldn't help thinking about how fortunate it was that Zen was close to Lavender. It was precisely because of this that the Demon Night didn't have any enmity with him.

But even if the Demon Night and the ogres joined forces, they wouldn't be able to go up against Zen in the Tower of Sin.

Esther's gaze finally stopped on Maurice as she said coldly, “Maurice, do you still want to kill Zen now?”

Maurice's eyes twitched as he pulled a long face. After a long while, he spat out, “Let's go!”

Without the two war sages, the ogres didn't have any advantage over the Demon Night. Furthermore, there was also Zen to deal with. Since even the war sages hadn't been able to defeat him, there was no point in the top-level war lords fighting against him.

The ogre war lords turned around and prepared to leave with Maurice.

Meanwhile, Malcom was staring intently at Zen. Zen was a mere level ten war fighter, and Malcom had thought that he could kill him effortlessly. However, he had just seen Zen get rid of the two ogre war sages. If they didn't kill Zen while he was still young, he would become a huge threat to the ogres in the future.

But how could they kill him?

No one could give Malcom an answer. He had interpreted the smile on Zen's face as an indication that he was trying his best to remain calm. But now he realized that Zen was smiling because he was confident of himself.

In the end, Malcom could only grit his teeth and follow Maurice.

Some of the warriors had enough foresight to understand that the situation in the Tower of Sin was going to change. It was likely that the 128 seats on the top floor of the tower would be reshuffled.

The ogres' bodies were as large as mountains. After they left, the tenth floor seemed somewhat empty.

Only then did Esther ask, “Zen, how did you do it?”

Zen had thrown the two war sages out of the Tower of Sin without so much as lifting a finger, and the war sages hadn't even had the strength to fight back. Esther couldn't figure it out.

“Don't ask,” Lavender said flatly.

Hearing Lavender's words, Esther immediately nodded. “Yes, Queen.”

Everyone had their own secrets. Esther was curious about the truth, but since Lavender didn't want her to ask, she wasn't going to continue probing into it.

After the ogre war lords left, Esther ordered the war lords of the Demon Night to leave as well. It was then that the war generals on the tenth floor began to whisper among themselves.

Lavender turned to Zen. “Let's make a trip to the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place. I have something very important to do.”

“Can it wait? Let's go after I completely refine the Lucky Light,” Zen said.

“Sure.”

Lavender raised her gaze and looked at Yolande, who was in the audience.

Yolande had been observing the entire arena from start to finish in silence, without the slightest change in expression. Now that their eyes met, there was a change in both Lavender's and Yolande's expressions. ŗᴀ𐌽ò𝔟Êȿ

Lavender walked toward Yolande.

“I know you,” she said indifferently.

A formless aura emanated from Lavender's body at all times. This aura did not originate from her soul but from the queen's aura that had been nurtured over the countless years she had been in power.

Facing such an imposing aura, any weaker being that stood in front of Lavender wouldn't be able to help but kneel. However, Yolande didn't seem to be affected by her aura in the slightest. “I know you too,” she said indifferently.

“I hope you'll succeed,” Lavender said. Her words sounded strange.

Yolande blinked her eyes. “If I can succeed, I'll help you.”

“Thank you.” Lavender nodded, unexpectedly giving her a smile.

The conversation between the two was completely baffling. However, Zen, who was standing beside them, was able to catch some clues from it.

According to what Phoebe had said, the queens of the Demon Night were not from this world but from the Upper World. Lavender was the queen of all the Demon Night members.

Since Lavender and Yolande knew each other, it meant that Yolande was from the Upper World as well. The two of them must have known each other from the time they were in the Upper World.

But why was there a Yolande in the Central Region and another Yolande on the Sea God Continent? It seemed that Zen would have to find an opportunity to ask Lavender this question.

After talking to Yolande, Lavender turned to Esther and said, “After Zen refines the Lucky Light, we'll go to the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place.”

“Yes, Queen!” Esther, Madeline, and Elder Mei said in unison, giving Lavender a salute.

Lavender transformed into red dots of light and disappeared into Zen's body.

After Zen retrieved his sword, he walked toward Olivia.

A warm smile appeared on Olivia's face before he even got close, as if she was watching the triumphant arrival of the hero.

“Thank you,” Zen said to Fabian and Jarrod.

The truth was, the appearance of Fabian and Jarrod, the two human seat owners, hadn't changed the situation in the slightest. However, the humans had stood up at the most critical moment and tried to protect Zen.

That was why Zen wanted to thank them and offer them his help.

If they hadn't stood up for him when he was in danger and just treated him as a compatriot that they could gain benefits from, then Zen wouldn't offer them his help even though they were fellow humans.

“We were just doing the right thing. We're all human beings, after all,” Jarrod said. “Unfortunately, we are too weak to fight against the ogres. Even if we want to fight them, we are powerless.”

“You're not to blame for that. I'll always remember that you stood up for me when I was in danger,” Zen said.

If Zen had been killed, the Demon Night wouldn't have encountered too much trouble, but the humans would have. They would have definitely faced the ogres' revenge. The humans in the Tower of Sin would have suffered, and even the Purple Heart Sacred Place would have been affected. The ogres would have taken the opportunity to completely wipe out the humans' sacred place. For the two ogres' sacred places, this wasn't a difficult matter. As long as they could deal with the elders at the Soul Sea Realm in the Purple Heart Sacred Place, it would be enough.

“I'll go to the Purple Heart Sacred Place, but before that, I have to go to the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place. Just wait for me,” Zen promised with a smile.

Fabian and Jarrod smiled back at Zen in gratitude. It was unprecedented for war lords to be so grateful toward a war fighter.

The two of them clearly understood the meaning behind Zen's words. Since he had already achieved this much, he would be bringing the human race along with him as he rose to power. Although only two ogre war sages had died today, they believed that in the near future, the entire Tower of Sin would be reshuffled.

Zen turned around and left, heading to the living area. He wanted to rent a training room to refine the Lucky Light.

Looking at his retreating figure, Olivia wanted to say something, but decided otherwise.

As Zen sat quietly in the secret chamber, a smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly realized how crowded his body was. Not only were there nine Genuine Dragons lurking in his mind, but there was also a huge furnace with an unknown origin. The sword spirit in his body was actually one of the queens of the Demon Night and she still had her own consciousness.

This was really lively!

Shaking his head, Zen pulled out the Lucky Light from his token and slowly began to refine it.

Boris and Cheryl were the strongest among the level ten war generals. Both of them hadn't lost any of their previous battles, so there was an awful lot of Lucky Light stored in their tokens.

When Zen drew out the Lucky Light, the blazing white light was unimaginably thick.

'With so much Lucky Light, I should be able to make a breakthrough!'

When he thought of this, the life vitality within his body suddenly revolved and traces of life vitality continuously refined the Lucky Light, pouring it into his body.

Three days later, Zen left the training chamber. Cheryl, who was standing in front of the training chamber, gave him a broad smile.

The Demon Night members were waiting for Zen to come out.

Of course, what they wanted to see wasn't Zen himself but the sword spirit in his body, which was also their queen Lavender.

Zen nodded and said to Cheryl, “We can set off now.”

Although Zen was short on time, he had to take Lavender to the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place since he had already agreed to it.

Moreover, there was still quite a bit of time before the Dark Nether Cave would open. Even if Zen wanted to return to the Central Region, he would have to wait until he entered the Dark Nether Cave and obtained the inheritance inside it. So, he still had plenty of time.

Under Cheryl's lead, Zen returned to the first floor of the Tower of Sin. After waiting at the entrance for a while, Esther, the strongest of the seat owners, brought two top-level war lords over.

They all left the Tower of Sin together and headed south of the Cursed Land.

Flying was forbidden within the Cursed Land. Whoever tried to fly would be pressed down to the ground by a horrible force. Zen had experienced this before when he first entered the Cursed Land. So, everyone could only travel on foot.

Still, with their speed, they covered quite a distance within just a few hours. Soon, a large transmission array appeared in front of them.

Cheryl rushed forward first and took out several life vitality crystals from her pocket. Then, she placed them on the transmission array. Once the life vitality crystals were placed, the entire transmission array erupted with light.

“Go in.” Esther nodded at Zen.

Zen immediately stepped into the transmission array, knowing that it would lead to the Demon Night's Heavenly Feather Sacred Place.

Soon after, a blue light enveloped them and they all traveled through the transmission channel. After about five minutes, the transmission channel came to an end. When the light dissipated, Zen could smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

This was very different from the scenery of the Cursed Land.

Apart from the various races in the Cursed Land, there was no sign of life there. But here, there was an emerald green jungle. There were all sorts of lush vegetation and colorful flowers bloomed all around. It was like a paradise on earth.

When Zen raised his head, he saw that there was an incomparably large tree in the distance.

“That big tree is...?” Zen asked.

“It is the holy tree of our sacred place. Every sacred place of the Demon Night has a holy tree,” Cheryl explained with a smile.

The Demon Night's method of reproduction was completely different from what Zen had imagined. When a baby was born, the baby would be kept within the holy tree where it would absorb the natural energy. Because of this, the physical quality of the members of the Demon Night was much better than the physical quality of the other races. In addition, from the moment they were born, there would be no impurities within their bodies. They were born nature creatures.

This was the reason why the members of the Demon Night were so much more powerful than the other races.

However, the world was fair. The Demon Night was strong but their ability to reproduce was very weak. Even though the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place was known as a seventh-grade sacred place, the entire sacred place only had around a million members.

As for the humans' Purple Heart Sacred Place, its population was a hundred times larger than the Demon Night's even though it was only a mere sixth-grade sacred place.

At this time, the red light around Zen flashed, and little rays of light slowly condensed and formed into a figure—Lavender.

Cheryl, Esther, and the others reflexively knelt toward Lavender as soon as she appeared.

Seeing this scene, Zen was speechless. It turned out that the members of the Demon Night respected their queen very much.

Lavender didn't look at them at all. Instead, she looked at the holy tree in the distance and said, “Stand up.” Then, she turned to Zen. “We're going there.”

Zen leaped into the air and sped away with Lavender.

Esther, Cheryl, and the rest followed behind him.

During the flight, Zen moved close to Lavender. “You... Why do you know Yolande?”

“Because I know her,” Lavender replied nonchalantly.

Zen rolled his eyes. “I've met a Yolande in the Eastern Region who looks exactly the same as her. What's going on? Are they the same person?”

“Yes.” Lavender nodded. “They are one person.”

“But...” Zen was about to say something, but Lavender interrupted him.

“The Upper World has many cultivation methods. Some cultivation methods may seem unfathomable to you. The fact is, there's more than one Yolande. If you search carefully in the Lower World, you might be able to find one million Yolandes.”

“One million Yolandes?” Zen's jaw dropped.

Lavender nodded. “Perhaps even more, and they're all indeed the same person.”

“How can that be?” Zen asked curiously.

“It's very simple. Yolande used a special method to split her soul into a million pieces. Then, she sent the pieces to many different worlds to cultivate and gain combat experience. At some point, she will recollect all the pieces of her soul and merge them into one. At that time, her cultivation will grow to a terrifying level!”

These words once again silenced Zen.

He understood now.

Back when he had met Yolande in White Emperor City of the Eastern Region, she had been training and killing demons nonstop to gain experience.

And within the Tower of Sin, Yolande had been constantly fighting in the arena. Even though she'd had a lot of Lucky Light, she'd never attempted to refine it and always remained a war general. It had been as if she would never improve herself.

He hadn't expected the Yolandes he had seen to be just clones.

With so many clones cultivating separately and then being recollected together, how terrifying would Yolande become?

It was hard for Zen to imagine. He could only marvel at the wonders of the world. There were simply too many talents in the Upper World to think of such an incredible method of cultivation.

The speed of their travel was naturally many times higher now that they were flying rather than walking. Although the holy tree looked very far, everyone was able to reach it within five minutes.

The members of the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place had received news of their queen's arrival in advance. Many of them were waiting on top of the huge holy tree.

A crimson carpet was laid out along the thick trunk of the tree. At the end of the carpet stood a woman dressed in purple.

Even though Zen and the woman were tens of thousands of feet apart, Zen could still feel the aura that she was emitting.

The aura wasn't overbearing but it gave off an incomparably heavy feeling, even much stronger than those of the ogre war sages and Eddie, who was at the Life and Death Realm.

Staring at the woman's figure, Zen had already guessed her identity. This woman was the leader of the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place. She was also one of the powerful warriors at the Soul Sea Realm. She was none other than Amber. Zen had seen her name on the Talent Tablet.
