Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Death Space, 100 Lives, 1 Survivor

"This space is so magical, I can’t even feel the presence of its origin." Purple Cloud felt the outside situation through the Reincarnation Pearl and was surprised to discover that there was no world origin within the Death Space.

Mu Can learned about the world origin through Purple Cloud; the world origin is a characteristic of a plane, just as people from the Demon World are suppressed when they enter the Mortal World.

"Let’s try this first." Mu Can took out the Jade Pendant given to him by Long Xingjian, gently crushed it, and a stream of information was transmitted into his Sea of Consciousness. The vast flow of information caused his Sea of Consciousness to tremble slightly, and with narrowed eyes, he began to carefully digest it.

After a moment, Mu Can opened his eyes and let out a light breath.

"So it’s like this." The Death Space turned out to be this way.

"What does it say inside?" Purple Cloud asked curiously, as this space belonged to none of the three planes she knew of.

It turns out that the ancestors of the Long Family were appointed as the guardians by a Great Power. Entrances like Jue Ming Valley are scattered across hundreds of planes, and the guardian of the entrance in the Mortal World is the Long Family.

After entering through the entrance, one would arrive in this Death Space, which contains various resources left by the Great Power. If one is lucky enough to obtain them, it’s not an exaggeration to say that one could ascend to heaven in a single step.

Every time, one hundred people who enter the Death Space through the entrance will appear here simultaneously, but in the end, only one can survive, and that person’s wish will be fulfilled.

Mu Can was also shocked by the actions of this Great Power; to traverse across hundreds of planes would require tremendous strength.

Even with Purple Cloud’s previous strength at the Immortal Venerable Level, she couldn’t freely travel through the various planes even if she had their specific coordinates, not to mention the oppression between planes that ordinary people couldn’t withstand.

After hearing Mu Can’s account, Purple Cloud also felt dizzy. The power of such a level was entirely beyond Purple Cloud’s imagination.

An Immortal Venerable is already top combat power in the Immortal World, but creating a space was something unthinkable.

Suddenly, Mu Can’s face turned pale, "If every hundred people trigger the Death Space once, then my father..."

"Number Thirty-Six, how did the people who came in half a year ago fare?" Mu Can urgently asked.

"Only one person successfully left. He is a Demon Cultivator from the Kap Plane. All others have perished." The words of Number Thirty-Six caused Mu Can’s face to turn ashen.

Mu Zi’ang had died in the Death Space.

Memories played out like scenes from a movie.

"Ha ha, my son is a genius." When Mu Can was five years old and underwent the Enlightenment process, Mu Zi’ang excitedly lifted him and shouted loudly with pride on his face.

"You must behave well and practice diligently when you go to the Immortal Ancient Academy." When Mu Can was going to leave home for the Immortal Ancient Academy, a man, though reluctant in his heart, still encouraged Mu Can.

"It’s okay, as long as you come back, Dad will take care of you." When Mu Can’s Cultivation was nearly depleted and he returned to the Mu Family, the always strong Mu Zi’ang held back tears in his eyes and patted Mu Can on the shoulder.

"Good son, Dad will surely cure you. You just wait obediently at home for me." These were the last words Mu Zi’ang said to Mu Can before he set off for Jue Ming Valley.

"Dad." Mu Can murmured, lost and in despair.

"Dad." Mu Can felt as if his heart was about to stop beating, having depended on Mu Zi’ang since childhood, with Mu Zi’ang acting both as a father and a mother in raising him, and now he had died here for his sake.

Mu Can roared aloud and charged towards a massive ancient tree in the forest, pounding it with rain-like fists, covering the tree that blotted out the sun. At this moment, Mu Can seemed to have gone mad.

"Kid, calm down, your dad might be fine." Purple Cloud said soothingly, observing Mu Can’s current state, if the Demon Heart Seal were to act up again, there would be no resistance.

Mu Can, as if he hadn’t heard Purple Cloud’s words at all, had his mind clouded by the news of his father’s death.

Little Blessing squatted to one side, his pair of small eyes filled with anxiety, watching Mu Can worriedly.

Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions’ first revolution activated instantly, his arms completely transforming into the form of dragon claws, striking fiercely against the ancient tree.

No one knew what species the tree was, but it did not even bear a mark under Mu Can’s powerful attack.

"I have a way to save your father, kid, stop it now." Purple Cloud roared loudly, seeing Mu Can’s eyes gradually redden, Purple Cloud also became anxious.

Having no choice, Purple Cloud slightly moved the Reincarnation Pearl, causing a shock in Mu Can’s Sea of Consciousness, his head spun dizzily, and he fainted once again.

"Hmph! This foolish child is really angering me, within such a space created by a Great Power, if you win, saving your father would be as easy as turning over one’s hand." Mu Can’s behavior turned Purple Cloud’s face pale with anger, why was he so disobedient.

It was time for Little Blessing to step in again, Little Blessing sticking out his tongue, quickly licked Mu Can awake.

"Dad." Mu Can woke up and, although no longer raging, tears streamed from his eyes.

"Don’t cry yet, I said I have a way to save your dad." Seeing that Mu Can was no longer out of control, Purple Cloud also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What?" Mu Can stared with disbelief, his eyes widening.

"As long as it’s a space created by a Great Power, if you win, you could just choose to resurrect your father when he grants your wish." Purple Cloud said indifferently, she believed that the powerful being, beyond her imagination, could surely make it happen.

What kind of strength would be required to perform Sky Opening, Purple Cloud couldn’t even imagine.

"Yes, how could I not have thought of it, number thirty-six, how can I obtain the final victory?" Mu Can, as if grasping the last straw to save his life.

"Kill the other ninety-nine people to achieve ultimate victory." The voice of number thirty-six resounded in Mu Can’s ears.

The tone was so cold it was frightening, as if killing the other ninety-nine people was a trifling matter.

That indifference to human life sent a shiver down Mu Can’s spine.

"Do I have to kill?" Mu Can muttered, he wasn’t a bloodthirsty person, along his path of cultivation, aside from those who deserved to die, Mu Can had never laid his hands on an innocent person.

"Before entering the Death Space, you should have set aside life and death, only one person can leave alive, if you don’t want to be killed, then go kill."

"I understand." Mu Can gritted his teeth and nodded, the law of the jungle, even within this mysterious space, is the same.

For his father, Mu Can’s eyes gradually became more determined.

This time, Mu Can put away that tiny bit of mercy in his heart, there was only one goal: to survive, to become the one who wins.

Only now did Mu Can understand the meaning in Long Xingjian’s words, "Nine deaths and one life in Jue Ming Valley, life shouldn’t end yet it is forced to."

In this Death Space, one out of a hundred lives, forcing the entrants to kill each other.
