Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 703 703, Life and Death Points
"This time, indeed, there appeared a title seeker, titled 'Sword Dao King.' This young talent is named Chu Ming!"
The white-robed elder revealed a slight smile and said indifferently to Black God.
Although Black God and he were both High Tier Kings, Black God had spent only half the time in cultivation compared to him. Black God's cultivation talent was superior, and Black God still had the potential to advance within the Life and Death Realm. Perhaps even within his lifetime, he could reach the Top Tier King, but for him, he was destined to stop at High Tier King in this life.
"Oh!"
Black God's eyes slightly flickered and then looked at Chu Ming, his expression unchanged.
Boom!
There was a boom in Chu Ming's mind as he gazed into Black God's eyes. He saw the cosmos' destruction and the Milky Way's fall, like an endless ocean's tides, surging mightily.
Swish!
As Black God's gaze withdrew, Chu Ming finally regained his senses, though his heart remained profoundly shaken. Black God's strength far surpassed that of the white-robed elder.
"Not bad!"
Black God gently nodded and then waved his hand lightly. Instantly, several red robes appeared mid-air, neatly arranged.
The material of the red robes was unknown, but Chu Ming sensed a slight array's fluctuation on them.
"These are the standard garments of the Life and Death Palace. There are fifty-eight pieces here. Each of you gets one, but if you damage them in the future, you will have to use life and death points to replace them yourselves."
Black God stared at the group of young talents and spoke indifferently.
Immediately, one by one, the red robes descended from the sky, with the red starlight on them gradually dimming, flying into the hands of the young talents.
As Chu Ming touched the red robe, he was astonished. Despite appearing very fragile, the red robe was exceptionally tenacious and likely had a defense not inferior to typical Earth Level top-tier defense armor.
At this moment, the young talents noticed a term—life and death points!
Finally, Soroch could not contain himself and asked.
"What are life and death points?"
Other young talents, including Chu Ming, also looked at Black God, quietly awaiting his answer.
"In the Life and Death Palace, all the cultivation resources you need must be exchanged with life and death points. For instance, as Four-Star Celestial Prides from this King Seizing Battle, you can train for free on the fourth level of the Life and Death Tower for a year. But if you use life and death points for the exchange, it requires 800,000 points. In the Life and Death Palace, life and death points are like spirit stones outside. As long as you have enough life and death points, you can even request a Life and Death Realm King to make a move for you!"
Black God spoke indifferently while leading the young talents alongside Bai Song towards a hall nearby.
Upon hearing this, the young talents were immediately thrilled, their eyes ablaze with fervor, especially Soroch and Snow Demon Immortal, who were joyous. They were just worried about falling far behind Chu Ming, but the emergence of life and death points gave them a glimmer of hope to compete with Chu Ming.
"How can one obtain life and death points?"
Snow Demon Immortal couldn't help asking. The young talents all perked up their ears, listening intently.
"The method of obtaining life and death points varies. For you human race talents, there will naturally be some inclinations. Generally, there are three ways!"
"First, by doing tasks and killing demons. By killing demons of different strengths, you can earn different amounts of life and death points!"
"Second, by climbing the tower. There is a trial tower on the first level of the Life and Death Tower. Each time you pass a level, you can earn certain life and death points. But each person has only one attempt per month!"
"As for the third method, it is tailored for you celestial prides. If any of you can break through one layer in cultivation within six months, you will earn 5,000 life and death points. If you break through two layers within six months, you will earn 20,000 points, and breaking through three layers within six months will earn you 50,000 points!"
When Black God finished speaking, the group had already entered the hall, where several boxes of varying sizes awaited them.
"Only 50,000 life and death points for breaking through three layers in six months?!"
Soroch frowned, lightly asking.
The young talents felt similarly disgruntled. Earlier, Black God had said 800,000 life and death points were needed to train for a year on the fourth level of the Life and Death Tower. Calculating from that, 50,000 points were not even enough for a month's training on the fourth level.
Hearing this, Bai Song remained silent, but Black God revealed a cold smile and said indifferently, "Do you know how many life and death points you get for killing a Fifth Level demon?"
"How many points?"
Soroch asked.
Black God's gaze swept over the young talents, looking at their faces, and replied indifferently, "For killing a Low Tier Fifth Level demon, you earn one life and death point. For a Middle Tier Fifth Level demon, you earn two points. For a High Tier Fifth Level demon, you earn five points. And for a Top Tier Fifth Level demon, you earn ten points. Now, do you still think 50,000 life and death points are too few?"
As Black God finished speaking, the young talents fell silent, even Chu Ming's heart was greatly unsteady. To earn 50,000 life and death points, they would need to kill 5,000 Top Tier Fifth Level demons. Each of these demons was equivalent to the peak powerhouses of the Human Race's Realm of Transcendence, with some even matching the Human Race's Half-step Life and Death Realm Kings in battle.
Was 50,000 life and death points too few then?
Evidently not, but rather the rewards for this King Seizing Battle were exceedingly generous!
Chu Ming estimated that for a peak Realm of Transcendence powerhouse to train for a year on the fourth level of the Life and Death Tower, it would likely take twenty to thirty years of accumulation.
Black God took several tags made of special materials from the wooden box. With a slight bend of his right finger, he gently touched the tag, causing curled shreds of material to fall off. Not long after, an identity token was completed.
"You don't need to worry about life and death points now. You participated in the King Seizing Battle, so you can train for a year on the fourth level of the Life and Death Tower. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power on the fourth level is seventy to eighty times that of the outside world. One year is sufficient to significantly improve your combat power. Additionally, you can earn extra life and death points by completing tasks."
