Dark Abyss Stairway.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Wang Ye and the other two arrived at the sixth prison, Ghastly Marsh Prison.

There are quite a few people,” Wang Ye remarked as he glanced at the mission information.

Xian Yuyan has completed the only mission in the fifth prison and opened the teleportation channel. Everyone is swarming over,” Ji Mengni said, keeping an eye on the rankings.

If everything goes well, our ranking should rise very quickly.” Wang Ye said with a smile.

The two women looked at Wang Ye.

Swoosh!

Wang Ye took out the Soul Restraining Stone.

He waved the devilish blade in his hand and destroyed the statue.

The spirits appeared, but this time, there was no strength of heaven and earth.

The spirits in the air seemed to have been freed from their restraints and regained their freedom. They could feel the energy aura from the spirits.

Swoosh…

The light shone brightly.

The spirits vanished into thin air.

Wang Ye looked at his points, which had increased from 8.45 million to 12.45 million.

He could not help but smile as he suppressed Donghuang Wanyi and temporarily occupied second place.

The method was feasible.

Since the Soul Restraining Prison was bound by the laws of the world, there was no way for the soul to escape.

Wouldn’t it be better if he left?

Swoosh-Swoosh…

Two rays of light lit up at the same time.

Wen Rou and Ji Mengni each released a human Undying Lifeform’s soul. The top ten rankings changed rapidly!

Wen Rou once again occupied the second place, and Ji Mengni was ranked seventh.

I stayed in second place for three seconds,” Wang Ye said with a smile to Wen Rou.

If I catch the fourth soul, I’ll give it to you,” Wen Rou said without hesitation.

Wang Ye’s heart warmed.

One soul cost 4 million points.

If it was given to him, Wen Rou’s ranking would change to third place.

There’s still time,” Wang Ye said. “We roughly know the rules for the appearance of Dark Soul Shadow Spirit. Judging from the increase in the points of the unique missions in each prison, the unique missions in the Soul Restraining Prison cost about 27 million points. With 4 million points for one soul, there should be about seven in total.”

There are four souls left. I suggest we split up for the first half of the journey to maximize the benefits.”

On the last day, gather at the Dark Abyss Stairway leading to the dark abyss of the sixth prison.”

Alright.

In the human virtual cosmic, everyone was shocked.

It was a brilliant feat that shocked the world!

Not long after the first selection world began, Wang Ye had ranked third.

Even though he fell and was about to fall out of the top ten.

However, just before the first half of the journey was about to end, he returned!

Once again, he locked onto the third place!

One might be luck, but twice…

That was heaven-defying luck!

Is it so difficult to admit that others are outstanding? Although Wang Ye hails from a small cosmic nation, his innate, equipment, and combat prowess may be lacking, but in the first selection world, his strategy, ability to break through situations, and charisma are all top-notch.”

That’s right. One is Wen Rou, and the other is Ji Mengni. Two geniuses willingly follow his orders and see him as the core. Doesn’t that say it all? The second prison could be a coincidence, but what about the seventh? Wang Ye’s mission execution ability is too strong!”

Don’t boast. He performed exceptionally well in the first half. If he doesn’t have companions in the second half, Wang Ye might slip up. If he gets eliminated, his points will be reset to zero. It doesn’t matter what rank he held, he’ll be at the bottom!”

“I’ll bet with you. Even if Wang Ye’s points are reset and he’s eliminated, the Infinite World of Slaughter will surely make an exception and accept him. Just his near-perfect performance in the first half almost guarantees him a spot in the Infinite World of Slaughter.”

Eliminated?

Wang Ye never even considered it.

If he were that timid, he wouldn’t have reached his current position.

He threw himself into the sprint with all his might!

After the trio split up, Wang Ye searched everywhere for the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit.

They had spent nearly 100 cosmic days in the seventh prison, so they were well-versed in the three missions.

Dark Souls Shadow Spirit, stay away from the dark race!

In simple terms, there wouldn’t be any Dark Soul Shadow Spirits near the dark race.

This was related to the Soul Restraining Stone in the dark race.

The Dark Soul Shadow Spirit was led by the immortal souls of humans and naturally feared the Soul Restraining Stone, so it stayed away.

Another point was that the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit was mainly found in the central area.

This was related to the characteristics of the Soul Restraining Prison.

The strongest place in terms of the power of the world’s rules was in the center.

So, it trapped the immortal souls of humans in the core area.

Through these two rules, they killed three Dark Soul Shadow Spirits in a short period and successfully captured their souls.

Although time was running out, Wang Ye was 8o°/o confident.

Capture another one!

Time passed quickly.

30, 20,10…

The first half of the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss had begun the countdown.

The top ten rankings would be difficult to change.

Despite the influx of many participants, the difficulty of the sixth prison’s sole mission was apparent. It was impossible to complete it in such a short time.

Unless someone had been cheating.

Just like Donghuang Wanyi in the seventh prison.

Break the formation!

He had already dismantled three of the four cores of the soul-rejecting samsara formation.

Only one remained!

Boom!” Dongheng Wanyi’s True Dragon Sword erupted with full force, his eyes glowing with determination, as he directly attacked the core origin crystal!

Bang!!! The powerful strike shattered the original crystal.

The earth trembled as if breaking dawn, finally revealing daylight.

The soul-rejecting samsara formation was broken.

Haha!” Dongheng Wanyi burst into laughter.

He had won!

Xian Yuyan might have led momentarily, but he was the ultimate victor!

On the last day of the first phase, he completed the sole mission in the seventh prison!

This wave alone would net him at least 25 million points!

He would ascend to the top with an overwhelming advantage, surpassing all other competitors!

Basking in solitary glory!

This time, there were no uncertainties!

[Unique Mission: Completed.]

[Reward Points: 4 million.]

What?

Dongheng Wanyi was stunned.

What on earth?

Was there a zero missing?

After rushing for dozens of cosmic days, receiving only 4 million points was baffling!

Was this the reward for completing the sole mission in the seventh prison?

How could this be?

Dongheng Wanyi’s thoughts were in disarray as he stood there, stupefied.

The sixth prison, the Dark Abyss Stairway.

Wang Ye, Wen Rou, and Ji Mengni gathered and chatted animatedly.

Having each successfully taken down a Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, and including the challenging and nightmare missions in the seventh prison, they had accumulated around 10 million points.

Their performance in the first phase was excellent.

Unlike other participants still struggling, the three of them had already rested and prepared for the second phase of the competition.

What’s the plan for the second phase?” Ji Mengni’s crystal-clear eyes focused on Wang Ye.

I have no idea,” Wang Ye replied. “We’re not familiar with the rules yet, and there’s a chance we might not be together. The 72 Heaven Halls are certainly different from the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss.”

Just keep fighting,” Wen Rou’s confident voice chimed in.

Wang Ye nodded in agreement.

The 72 Heaven Halls were the domain of the sky race.

For Wen Rou, who dominated the sky race challenge space in the first round, the second half was undoubtedly her home turf.

The rules should still be in the form of missions.” Ji Mengni’s rosy lips parted slightly. “Because the rules are set by the Infinite World of Slaughter. They require members with extremely strong mission execution abilities, so selection is based on mission completion.”

That may not necessarily be the case,” Wang Ye interjected. “The prompt from the Infinite World of Slaughter states that war breeds war. It’s renowned for its killing. I dare to venture solo into the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss. As for the 72 Heaven Halls, I dare not kill!”

The 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss is a challenge.

The 72 Heaven Halls are for killing.

Wen Rou’s eyes brightened.

Ji Mengni smiled. “Let’s make a pact. If we encounter each other again in the second half, and we’re still companions, regardless of the circumstances, we’ll help each other.”

Agreed,” Wen Rou said decisively.

Of course,” Wang Ye chimed in, extending his hand with a smile.

They sealed their agreement.

Having fought side by side for over 100 cosmic days, they had grown exceptionally close.

They had become more than just companions, they were friends.

In the human virtual cosmic.

The countdown for the first half came to an end!

The leaderboard froze!

1. Yunzhou Eternal Nation, Xian Yuyan: 20,010,000.
2. Starcluster Empire, Wen Rou: 18.36 million.
3. Red River Cosmic Nation, Wang Ye: 16.95 million.
4. Dongheng Eternal Nation, Dongheng Wanyi: 16,880,000.
5. Eternal Dream Nation, Ji Mengni: 15.54 million.
6. Weixin Eternal Nation, Jiu Gedi: 14.16 million.
7. Xuanxu Eternal Nation, Qing Xuan: 13.52 million.
8. Xuanxu Eternal Nation, Qing Yu: 12,890,000.
9. Weixin Eternal Nation, Hui Zhi: 12,610,000.
10 Weixin Eternal Nation, Qifeng Zhenqing: 12,380,000.
There was a buzz of excitement.

Compared to the first round, the leaderboard had undergone significant changes.

Xian Yuyan had topped the charts in the first half!

Chi Xuan, known for his formidable combat prowess, was pushed out of the top ten rankings.

The Weixin Eternal Nation emerged as the big winner, securing three spots in the top ten!

But the biggest surprise came from a hidden gem from a small cosmic nation…

WangYe!

He surged into the top three in one go!

It sent shockwaves throughout the entire human cosmic!

On the Taishi Star Network, cosmic humans went wild.

Did you see that? Wang Ye! He’s from our Red River Cosmic Nation!

Third place, third in the entire cosmic! D*inn! I’m at a loss for words!

Brother Ye is solid! With this performance, as long as he doesn’t die, he’s bound to enter the Infinite World of Slaughter! This is one of the seven supreme forces of humanity!”

“I’d give up my roommate’s celibacy for 10,000 years to ensure Brother Ye doesn’t get eliminated in the second half!”

It’s starting. The second half is here! D*mn! Why does Brother Ye look so grim again?”

White light flickered.

It was a familiar sensation, like traversing through worlds.

As the countdown ended, Wang Ye was instantly teleported out of the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss.

The second half had begun!

Compared to the unease of the first half, Wang Ye felt more confident going forward.

He would lay low if need be.

With his current points, securing a spot in the top 100 for the first selection wouldn’t be an issue.

His priority was to stabilize and secure his entry ticket to the Infinite World of Slaughter.

Then, in the second selection world, he would go all out to reach the Primordial Star!

Swoosh!

The surroundings changed in an instant.

It felt like floating among clouds. Magnificent palaces stood atop billowing clouds, radiating peace and beauty.

The 72 Heaven Halls.

Meteors descended one after another.

Wang Ye recognized them as fellow contestants.

Just as he was about to check the world panel, a meteor suddenly plummeted directly towards the clouds ahead.

His figure and perfect proportions evoked a sense of allure…

Huh.

Could it be that bad?

Wang Ye recognized his shape.

Their eyes met, and Wang Ye finally understood what it meant to…

Dongse Ziyu instantly changed expression!

Wang Ye!” Dongse Ziyu’s eyes blazed with fury as he drew his holy sword!

Boom!
