At this time, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin had already reached the level of Tier 8 King Rank, and had completed the world mission Part One: reach the King Rank City.
Next, they still needed to continue upgrading to the Tier 10 Immortal King, in order to complete the other world mission and thus completely end the journey of the World 26.
It could be seen: originally, to go from Tier 7 Powerhouse to Tier 8 King Rank, it required 10,000 points.
But from Tier 8 King Rank to Tier 9 Supreme King Rank, the required points suddenly increased tenfold to 100,000 points.
According to the point yield from monsters near King Rank City, even at Zhang Yue's monster-killing speed, to level up to Tier 9 Supreme King Rank would take at least half a day.
Not to mention afterward, there was still the Tier 10 Immortal King, which would definitely require even more points.
Originally, they planned to break through to the World 30 within today, better not end up spending the entire day just stuck in this one world.
Obviously, to quickly complete this world mission, the only choice was the Death Territory.
In all major worlds, the Death Territory was a kind of "treasure trove" for Zhang Yue.
So, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin immediately set off toward the Death Territory.
Within the Death Territory, all monsters were level 145, the ceiling of the World 26.
Moreover, elite monsters and bosses were everywhere to be seen.
For normal professionals, coming here meant they wouldn't even be able to take a step.
For Zhang Yue, it was practically paradise.
Same routine, Chen Zijin lured monsters using Crystal Love, cooperating with Zhang Yue to strike.
Even level 145 monsters, in the face of Zhang Yue's 2 billion+ damage, were just a bunch of trash.
Zhang Yue relied on his Unbreakable · Transcendent Staff, slaying heaven, earth, and air.
He harvested wave after wave of monsters.
Inside the Death Territory, monster point drops were directly ten times those of the National Territory.
Almost every normal little monster could give 1 point.
Elite monster drops were even greater, 100 points.
As for bosses, their value was even higher, one boss could give 1000 points.
And considering the Death Territory had far more monsters and denser populations.
If in the National Territory, under Chen Zijin's Crystal Love effect, the monsters could form second to third-tier beast tides at best, then in the Death Territory, beast tide scale could reach as high as fifth-tier.
With a casual sweep, Zhang Yue could kill 200–300 monsters, instantly gaining 200–300 points.
A mere 100,000 points, was a piece of cake.
If not for the requirement to complete a world mission in order to gain access to the Death Territory, Zhang Yue could've just entered the Death Territory in each new world, and the results would've been twice the outcome with half the effort.
Based on estimates, to go from Tier 8 King Rank to Tier 9 Supreme King Rank would take at least half a day in the National Territory.
But in the Death Territory, it only took a little over ten minutes.
Final step, from Tier 9 Supreme King Rank to Tier 10 Immortal King, required 300,000 points.
Same method, continued killing with earlier efficiency.
Just over half an hour, easily done.
["Ding~ Congratulations! You have reached Tier 10 Immortal King. World mission completed!"]
After checking the time, Chen Zijin, in a slightly incredulous tone, said, "An hour and a half to clear the World 26, kind of insane!"
She originally thought Zhang Yue saying he'd clear up to the World 30 in one day was just a joke.
Didn't expect Zhang Yue was actually being serious.
Chen Zijin then said, "The mission is completed. If we kill the world boss, we can go to the World 27."
Just then, Zhang Yue suddenly said to Chen Zijin, "Wait a bit."
Chen Zijin looked confused, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yue didn't explain.
Soon after, the Armageddon Black Dragon could be seen flying over from the distance.
Chen Zijin suddenly realized, "Come to think of it, I hadn't seen your black dragon just now, what was he doing?"
The Armageddon Black Dragon landed right beside Zhang Yue.
Then spat out a ring from its mouth.
That ring was the tool used to sense Nether Stones.
Alongside it, the Armageddon Black Dragon also spat out a Nether Sky Stone.
Knowing that Zhang Yue was collecting Nether Stones, Chen Zijin instantly understood that Zhang Yue had sent the Armageddon Black Dragon to search the Death Territory for any traces of Nether Stones in his place.
Because the discovery of a Nether Sky Stone in a previous world was just too unexpected.
At that moment, Zhang Yue realized: Nether Stones were highly likely to be hidden in the corners of each world's Death Territory.
Once missed, he might never be able to find the remaining two pieces: the Nether Earth Stone and the Nether Yellow Stone.
And since the Death Territory was so vast, it was clearly unrealistic for Zhang Yue to personally search for them.
So he had the Armageddon Black Dragon handle this task, saving a lot of unnecessary time.
Zhang Yue looked at the Armageddon Black Dragon. The dragon shook its head.
Seems like it didn't find anything.
"Then this world can be ruled out."
Zhang Yue said to Chen Zijin, "Let's take down the world boss and go to the World 27."
Chen Zijin nodded, "Alright!"
So, the two initiated the world boss challenge.
The boss of the World 26 was 25-star quality.
As soon as they entered the boss challenge zone, before the boss could even react, Chen Zijin immediately struck, nearly one-shotting it.
["Ding~ Congratulations! You've slain world boss [Crowman · Zude]. You've cleared the World 26 [King's Canyon]!"]
Whoosh!
The portal to the World 27 opened before them.
Just as Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin were preparing to advance into the World 27, suddenly, Ouyang Ling'er sent a message to Zhang Yue, ["President, we have a lead on the Hell Arena!"]
Ouyang Ling'er's messages always managed to excite Zhang Yue.
["Based on my all-nighter last night researching, the Hell Arena you mentioned should exist in the Death Territory of the World 32 — [Super God Arena]!"]
["According to the experiences of previous explorers, it's something like a hidden map. Currently, professionals from all major empires are trying to unlock the Hell Arena, since rumor says the one who opens it will receive an extremely generous reward. But so far, no one has managed to activate it."]
After reading this message, Zhang Yue faintly felt, this Hell Arena might have been made just for him.
After all, wasn't any challenge others couldn't complete tailor-made for Zhang Yue?
So Zhang Yue replied, ["Got it. Thanks. I'm giving you a day off today. Go rest."]
Ouyang Ling'er: ["Paid vacation?"]
Zhang Yue: ["Paid. Triple salary."]
Ouyang Ling'er: ["President, I love you!"]
Closing the message window—
Zhang Yue muttered: "World 32, huh."
However, since that Hell Arena hasn't been activated yet, then how did that Flowing Gold Warrior obtain the Hell Arena invitation?
Zhang Yue was genuinely curious about that person's background.
'Looks like I need to work even harder, reach the World 32 as soon as possible.'
