The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The majority of serf dwellings are usually just a space of about ten square meters, housing three families. They have to undertake countless heavy tasks every day. The room contains only a crude adobe platform, which is where the serfs eat and sleep.

Besides that, there is nothing else.

Rather than a house, it is more like a cave. There are thousands of such slave nests in the manor.

However, this is already considered good. More slaves have no roof over their heads and own nothing. After all, in the eyes of most headmen, slaves are not as valuable as livestock. Therefore, in order to take good care of the livestock, many slaves are arranged to live in the livestock pens.

Even worse, some don't even have a livestock pen to live in.

But facing the mockery of these people, the boy, who hid his cold gaze behind messy hair, merely straightened his body and cracked his knuckles.

"I don't know which master took a fancy to you out of great compassion, but a slave-born bastard is not qualified to walk with us. Once we reach the Gate of Chaxin, your task will be complete."

When he said these words, Ci Song felt the other person's sharp and angry gaze, but he enjoyed it all. It was like when he humiliated the wives and daughters of those weaklings. The impotent rage and hatred only made him feel a little excited.

As for whether this person would turn hostile, he was now somewhat looking forward to it.

However, the person was very restrained, not saying a word even when provoked like this. Ci Song looked at the other two, they didn't express anything, probably not wanting to have infighting right now.

So he gripped his battle axe, made from the third vertebrae of a hundred infants and the cold iron from the Black Mountain of the Howling Fiends.

"Enough rest, let's go."

After speaking, the team set off. Ci Song walked in front as always, like a true lord.

They passed through steep mountain paths, surrounded by strange rocks and various triangular piles made of skulls, as well as prayer flags made of completely peeled and dried human skin. The empty eyes and mouths emitted twisted wails when the wind blew through them, as if the souls of the dead were still bound to the skin, enduring eternal pain. Various poisonous insects crawled in and out of the not-completely-rotted corpses of slaves.

In the shadows cast by the skull piles, various demon imps giggled, whispering as they slipped past them.

At this distance, one could see the magnificent Evil Sea City by simply looking up.

The entire Evil Sea City is located on a mountain over 7,000 meters above sea level, covering a total area of over 15 square kilometers and a total height of over 300 meters, with 18 floors. From the foot of the mountain to the summit, from west to east, it consists of the Purple Palace, Red Palace, Black Palace, Blue Palace, and Green Palace. It includes palaces, spirit towers, courtyards, and everything else. The outer walls of the palaces are over 5 meters thick, with foundations directly buried in the rock layer. The walls are all built with rock and cast with steel, covered with turrets, making it a veritable copper wall and iron fortress.

Among the magnificent five palaces, only one has an owner. The other four are, in a sense, huge shrines, and also where the Phantom Warriors contact and hone their spiritual power. Their appearances also vary greatly. The Purple Palace is the smallest and most exquisite palace, a circular structure with a total of six rings. It has almost no protective walls, only towering golden pillars and layers of veils. Seductive voices constantly drift from the veils, and one can see graceful figures dancing and singing. The chosen Sky Demonesses will receive the blessing of the "Auspicious Mother" here, becoming companions who can assist in cultivation and combat. This mysterious Auspicious Mother is also the cultivation partner of the Heart-Eating King, but she lives in seclusion in the Purple Palace year-round and rarely appears.

The Red Palace has the most barbaric and cruel appearance, looking like a fortress. Its main body is eight watchtowers surrounding the protective wall. The foundation is hundreds of thousands of skulls. The walls and spiked barriers of the fortress are always covered with flesh and blood, and constantly emit angry and painful roars from within. This is the main armory of Evil Sea City, and also where various cruel beasts, enchanters, and crazy war engines, and even hell beasts are tamed and housed. Phantom Warriors also often resolve "private grudges" here. The arena and fighting cages here are rarely idle.

As the second tallest building in Evil Sea City, the Blue Palace is where the Phantom Warriors spend the most time, including the recruited recruits, who also train their spiritual power and adaptability to the subspace here. Its shape is like a torch made of burning blue crystals, filled with powerful witchcraft that can instantly distort mortals. Even Phantom Warriors must be extra careful when cultivating in it. After all, the Lord of Mutation is a fickle master. When understanding its power, it is easy to lose control and turn into a mass of bloated and distorted flesh, the so-called Chaos Spawn. But fortunately, with the Black Palace in control, the Lord of Mutation cannot do as he pleases here.

Among the four palaces, the most daunting is the Plague Spire. This building is part of the former Broken Temple, itself a seven-story tower built of some porous black stone. A large amount of unspeakable liquid seeps out of the stone, looking closely like a combination of a castle and decayed tissue. When occupying this place, the Heart-Eating King tried to gain the understanding of the God of Decay, but the other party was clearly angered by this blasphemous act. A large number of Nurgle demons poured out of the Broken Temple, trying to drive away the occupiers, including a Great Unclean One. But unfortunately, the Great Unclean One was eventually killed by the Snow Lotus Blade. Galmorzej used this divine weapon to suppress the anger of the God of Decay and even usurp some of its power, but could not completely erase this place. This tower is like Nurgle's stubborn symbol of annoyance, constantly reminding the occupiers that it will collect this debt sooner or later.

Therefore, the building is in fact regarded as an ominous place, an omen. The sky above the tower is densely covered by swarms of fat insects, which makes the Plague Spire forever shrouded in darkness. Even the Phantom Warriors rarely set foot on this already rotten land, unless they hope to go further. Therefore, the Plague Spire is also a "Trial Ground". Phantom Warriors regularly go inside to fight the angry Nurgle demons and harvest their souls. At the same time, this is also a cage. Criminals will be thrown into it as scapegoats to accept the eternal anger of the Affectionate Father.

But no matter how prominent those palaces containing the power of the Four Gods are, the core of the entire Evil Sea City can only be the Black Palace at the highest point, also known as the Great Black Heaven Hall. The entire palace is famous for using a large number of black bricks and stones, and adopts a petal-like layout. There are four spirit towers around the main hall. It is said that each spirit tower is bound to a powerful subspace evil spirit, but when the four spirit towers are activated, they can form a powerful force that can attack and defend, and even destroy enemies in orbit.
