Chapter 174: G.o.d’s Remains
Following Fang Jiong’s final Steel Shattering Cleave, the ten tier four beast soldiers had finally fallen, their indistinct cries as they laid on the ground, the flames on their bodies slowly extinguishing. Finally, the last Volcanic Rock Monster had also died.
Fang Jiong absorbed another tier four crystal, strange energy surged within his body but the distance to advancing once again was simply too far.
Su Yu held Zhou Birong’s broken arm, using his powerful qi to swiftly reattach her arm. By the side, Xiao Wei was applying Curing Powder and under the effects of the two healing effects, Zhou Birong’s broken arm was rapidly mended at an astonishing rate.
Besides Huo Shan who had died, Zhou Birong, Jade, Ma Ziye and a few others had suffered injuries. It was fortunate that everyone had strange energy within them allowing their injuries to swiftly recover, this was especially so for those like Jade, Xu Ruyun and Zhang Zhongmou who had recently promoted, under the effects of their increased strange energies, their healing speed was phenomenal.
Among them, Zhou Birong’s injuries was the most serious.
While amongst the five newly joined people, the nameless male had actually managed to kill one of the monsters, allowing him to successfully advance into a tier one dark iron warrior. This was still too astonishing, the other four people were still lying unconscious on the ground, it was fortunate that the Volcanic Rock Monsters had chosen to attack the others within the group while ignoring these unconscious people, otherwise, they would have all perished.
Following the kill of the Volcanic Rock Monster and advancing to tier one, the nameless male could not help but accept reality, believing in the words that Qin Jiagui had said earlier. He had indeed been transported to an inconceivable world filled with monsters, one could actually advance and become stronger by killing these monsters.
This male was also someone who had experienced much within the mortal world, after a short period of blankness, he slowly accepted the reality of the situation as he forced himself to adapt.
After this bout, Su Yu and Fang Jiong remained at tier four while the number of tier threes had increased, Ma Ziye, Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou and Xu Ruyun were all tier three experts now. Amongst them, Xu Ruyun was certainly the most dazzling, he had merely arrived in this world for a short period of time but had unknowingly already caught up and became a tier three dark iron warrior.
With Su Yu’s help, Jade had managed to advance as well and was currently a tier two dark iron warrior like Zhao Shichang. The others were either stuck at tier one or tier zero.
Qin Jiagui rotated his right arm, the feeling of being at tier three was completely different, he knew that a large reason why he had managed to advance was due to Su Yu, he was filled with grat.i.tude. However, due to their past exchanges, saying his grat.i.tude was meaningless, he would merely keep this within his heart as he walked towards the nameless male.
The performance of this male had already attracted the attention of everyone, Xu Ruyun’s performance was already astonishing but it simply could not be compared to this male. A tier zero had managed to defeat a tier four beast soldier? What sort of concept was that? This was simply inconceivable.
Everyone immediately connected this to some strange ability that the male must have obtained, otherwise, this was simply too phenomenal an outcome.
“Now do you believe me? My name is Qin Jiagui.” Qin Jiagui walked before the male as he introduced himself.
The nameless male sat on the ground as he lifted his head to face the group, looking towards Qin Jiagui before finally replying in a

deep hoa.r.s.e voice that seemed gentlemanly at the same time: “Cao Xiao Yu*, everything before me……. I have no choice but to believe……”
T/N: Xiao Yu means small fish.
The male had a helpless bitter smile on his face as he slowly stood up: “Where is this place? Even if it is as you said, why would the Affluent Guest Lodge fall into a forest due to a Sky Hole? Also, we should be in a forest, why are we here instead?”
The physique of this male was tall and stout but his name was simply too frail making everyone feel strange.
By the side, Yuan Niping could not help but curiously ask: “Cao…… Cao Xiao Yu, what was your past occupation? Were you a physical trainer?”
Cao Xiao Yu was a hulking piece of muscle, he really did seem like a physical trainer.
Cao Xiao Yu shook his head: “I’ve trained in Tai Chi, wrestling as well as several other combat techniques…… even learning underground boxing……” Having said this, there was a bitter smile on his face as his voice continued to go lower while he spoke slowly: “However, I am merely a guard within The Affluent Guest Lodge, who knew that this extraordinary matter would force me into a place that is simply unexplainable.”
Qin Jiagui was stunned, it was no wonder the male had such a fierce physique and powerful combat skills. This was still insufficient to explain how he killed the Volcanic Rock Monster, he must have used some unique ability as Qin Jiagui continued: “We were initially in the forest, thereafter because of Ah Da……. due to the fifth lifeform, we were sent here. I’m also not sure where we are.”
As he said this, Ah Da who was lying on Su Yu’s shoulder said in a weak voice: “Since you aren’t clear, then let Ah Da explain. In a very distant past, there were perfect lifeforms that belonged to different camps, after going through countless terrifying battles, these perfect lifeforms that belonged to the sixth tier continually fell, their corpses piercing through countless worlds and falling to the ends of the universe……. After the pa.s.sing of eons, these fallen corpses created strange s.p.a.ces, these strange s.p.a.ces were very different whether it be in size or form, the continual birthing and extinguishing eventually led to the surge of many strange creatures……. These s.p.a.ces formed due to the corpses of the sixth lifeforms are known to us as the Sixth s.p.a.ce, the area that we are currently in is precisely a Sixth s.p.a.ce, to be more precise, this area is an elemental s.p.a.ce of the Sixth s.p.a.ce and it belongs to the fire category……. Do all of you understand now?”
Ah Da spoke all of this in a single breath before taking in a large breath, it seemed extremely fatigued and the group was exceptionally shocked, Ma Ziye responded first: “Ah Da, you mean to say that this s.p.a.ce was created as a result of that lifeform dying?”
Su Yu continued: “Perfect lifeform…… is that a G.o.d? Are you saying that this s.p.a.ce was created by the remains of a G.o.d?”
“If it helps you to understand it in that manner, it works as well……. Anyway, this Sixth s.p.a.ce is phenomenal, only us fifth lifeforms that are closest to the perfect lifeform can find it, it is to your benefit that Ah Da has brought you here…… If you are lucky, you may even find some exceptional things here because the perfect lifeforms within some of these s.p.a.ces have not been completely extinguished……. If that were to happen, you may really gain something incredible.”
Ah Da’s words made the group feel strange as they looked carefully around them, however, all the could feel was the burning heat which caused their backs to be covered in sweat.
The blazing piece of s.p.a.ce before them, was it really created by the corpse of a lifeform? Was there really something so frightening? This was simply akin to ancient tales of Pangu using his body to create all living things, if the sixth lifeforms really had such an ability, it was not a stretch to refer to them as G.o.ds.
After arriving in this world, they had continually learnt of things that were simply too astonishing, even though this piece of news was also shocking, they were still able to accept it even feeling slightly numb to it.
Su Yu stretched a hand to pat Ah Da: “What do you mean when you say that the perfect lifeform hasn’t been completely extinguished?”
As he spoke, he began to crouch down as he used his qi to a.s.sist the people who had been knocked unconscious by him.
Ah Da harrumphed in indignation after being patted by Su Yu before continuing: “A perfect lifeform……. It can be considered an eternal existence, there are some which have not been completely extinguished…….. They are ‘dead’ but unable to completely die, however, they also don’t have the strength to come back to life, they are thus suspended in a state where they are neither dead nor alive, if we are lucky enough to find one…….”
Having said this, elation seemed to shine from Ah Da’s eyes: “If our luck is good, we can absorb the energy of the other party, if that’s the case, we would have struck gold! It may even be possible for me to immediately advance to become a perfect lifeform! Hahaha……”
It had just laughed as the sky suddenly began to emit frightening cracking noises as though something were breaking apart, this sound was simply too terrifying and it was transmitted from high above them. The group could not help but lift their heads to see a scene that was simply too astonishing.
In the blazing sky above, there were clouds that seemed to be formed of flames, these clouds seemed to be shattering like pieces of gla.s.s before a figure could be seen appearing from the shattered clouds.
Its body was emitting a dazzling golden colour, its back had a pair of golden wings, an eagle’s head with a human body, golden feathers covered its entire body, it seemed majestic and fierce, like an indomitable G.o.d descended on earth. Suddenly, a frightening pressure could be felt pressing down on the group causing them to find it difficult to even breathe.
“Kaboom!”
The eagle-humanoid golden monster landed beside them, the frightening pressure seemed to have taken substance as it expanded, the group could not help but sway and stumble as they fell backwards, their heartbeats were racing and their faces were swollen red, even Su Yu was no exception to this.
The golden wings on the back of the eagle-humanoid monster slowly retracted as it stood there within the group, they could feel its incredible might, its figure was approximately ten metres tall, every inch of it seemed to be forged from gold, as it stood there, it really seemed like a golden G.o.d.
