Zhang Yue raised his head, looking at the barrier in front of him, which was transformed from nine seal imprints.
Intentionally approaching the barrier, he discovered the ring in his hand emitted an even stronger light.
"Are you serious…", Zhang Yue suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry but had no tears.
'So it seems, the Netherstone really corresponds to this [Hell Gladiator Arena]?'
Instantly, Zhang Yue fell into a dilemma.
He had just said that this time he would absolutely not give up his bottom line for any benefit.
And Zhang Yue's bottom line was not to activate the Hell Gladiator Arena, allowing the Flowing Gold Warrior's plot to succeed.
Chen Zijin was standing to the side with her arms crossed, silent, looking at Zhang Yue with a serious expression.
She seemed to be thinking, 'I want to see how you'll uphold your bottom line.'
Sky and Earth, Black and Yellow. Once these four Netherstones were gathered, they would open a grand gate to a different plane, and would definitely bring endless benefits to Zhang Yue.
Giving up the activation rewards of the Hell Gladiator Arena, even giving up the champion reward of the Hell Gladiator Arena, Myth-grade Profession Scroll, was not regrettable.
But on this Netherstone, Zhang Yue had already spent a great deal of effort.
Now only two stones were missing to complete the four Netherstones.
At this moment, Zhang Yue was indeed a bit hesitant.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Yue unintentionally glanced at Chen Zijin beside him.
It seemed Chen Zijin had already anticipated this, "What's wrong, are you giving up your bottom line so soon?"
Zhang Yue countered, "What do you think is the meaning of a professional's existence in the Otherworld?"
Chen Zijin answered without hesitation, "It's to continuously break through oneself and improve strength!"
Zhang Yue looked again at the barrier in front and said, "This can be considered a kind of breakthrough too."
Chen Zijin pointed at Zhang Yue angrily, "You're just a man without a bottom line, hmph!"
In Zhang Yue's mind, the figure of the Flowing Gold Warrior flashed by, "Then let's see, whether this is your breakthrough point or mine."
Chen Zijin sighed, "Eh, do as you like. Anyway, no matter the result, I'll stand with you."
After speaking, Zhang Yue took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the core area of the barrier.
The next second, following Zhang Yue's palm, nine lights spread out, respectively injected into the nine seal imprints surrounding the barrier.
Right after that, the barrier suddenly disappeared, and the imprints all vanished.
Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
Just when Chen Zijin beside him was full of surprise, even thinking this was some kind of trap—
Suddenly.
BOOM! BOOM!
The entire World 32 fell into violent turbulence.
Or rather, the entire Otherworld fell into turbulence.
Whether it was the World 1 or the currently most advanced World 97 in human conquest progress, the mountains and rivers suddenly trembled violently.
At this moment, all the empires were in panic.
["What's going on, is it an earthquake? There's never been such a thing as an earthquake in the hundred-year history of the Otherworld, right?"]
["What? You in the 58th World also felt the shaking? Our 47th World is almost collapsing. I heard the 41st World next door also shook, what's going on? Never heard of this kind of chain reaction in the Otherworld before!]
["Could it be the serpent that appeared in the World 32 last night, the one that instantly killed the World's number one powerhouse, Ghost Sword Elfa? Is it up to something? Is it going to launch an attack on all humanity?"]
["We're doomed, the end has come!"]
Just as everyone was panicking, suddenly, a series of system announcements descended from the sky, echoing from the First World to the World 97, throughout the entire Otherworld—
[[World Announcement] (Full Otherworld Announcement): "Ding~ All professionals please note, hidden secret World [Hell Gladiator Arena] has been activated. Secret World level rating: King-Level. All professionals please quickly enter the secret World to execute the strategy."]
[[World Announcement] (Full Otherworld Announcement): "Ding~ All professionals please note, hidden secret World [Hell Gladiator Arena] has been activated. Secret World level rating: King-Level! All professionals please quickly enter the secret World to execute the strategy."]
[[World Announcement] (Full Otherworld Announcement): "Ding~ All professionals please note, hidden secret World [Hell Gladiator Arena] has been activated. Secret World level rating: King-Level! All professionals please quickly enter the secret World to execute the strategy."]
When these three consecutive system announcements echoed through the entire Otherworld, looking around the globe, people who were still immersed in the fear of last night's evil nine-headed demon's birth, their fear level instantly increased tenfold.
Even experts like Crouching Dragon, Hidden Dragon, Xuanlan, as well as Restiev, Elfa, and Kwon Ji-Hyun, these top-tier professional powerhouses, were all shocked beyond words.
At this moment, the Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph, who were in the midst of conquering the 93rd World, raised their heads and looked at the sky that had suddenly changed, listening to the system announcements echoing in their ears, all furrowing their brows.
"In the Otherworld, above the ordinary Secret Worlds, there are Hidden Secret Worlds. Above Hidden Secret Worlds, based on difficulty, there are four Great Super Hidden Secret Worlds: God-level, Emperor-level, Immortal-level, and King-level."
Seraph asked, "In history, what's the highest difficulty secret World that has appeared?"
Moon Mark replied, "Aside from the Asura God's incident a hundred years ago, the highest was Emperor-level Secret World. In the past ten years, only the 75th World of the Cold Nation had one, which was conquered jointly by the Cold Nation, Beacon, Eastern, and Sun Nation to resolve the crisis."
At the side, Ice Emperor had a serious expression, "Besides Asura, who else could conquer a King-level secret World?"
"Looks like this time, a real disaster is coming!"
As the announcement went out, the World was in turmoil.
All nations were in panic.
["I'm not talented, have been a professional for more than ten years, and have only ever encountered ordinary hidden secret Worlds. Can someone tell me what a King-level secret World means?"]
["King-level secret World, as the name suggests, is a secret World that surpasses God-level, Emperor-level, and Immortal-level."]
["Okay okay okay, listening to your words is like Jesus bringing purification!"]
["Let's put it this way, since the Otherworld descended to Earth over a hundred years ago, there has only been one King-level secret World in history. Other than that, the highest ever was Emperor-level. Even Immortal-level has never appeared!"]
["And as far as I know, these super secret Worlds like God-level, Emperor-level, Immortal-level, and King-level, which far surpass ordinary and hidden secret Worlds. If they aren't conquered within a limited time, the monsters inside will pass through rifts, ignoring the Otherworld's barrier, and directly invade the real world!"]
["Wha… What? Invade reality? Then aren't we screwed!"]
["The matter of Otherworld monsters invading reality did happen decades ago when the professionals' power was still unstable. If it really happens now, professionals might be able to hold on for a while. The unluckiest would be non-professionals, our families. If they get targeted by monsters, it's over…"]
["Ah! Then you said a King-level secret World appeared a hundred years ago, who conquered it back then? Let that great being come out and save the World again!"]
["Unfortunately, that man is no longer here."]
["No longer here? Why?"]
["Because that man… was Asura."]
