The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4835

Jared and his group had made it to the second floor.

This layer looked a bit better than the first—just a little. Even so, the place felt bleak. The spiritual energy was thin, and there wasn't a single resource worth noting.

Kishor looked around and let out a dry laugh. “So many have already passed through these first two levels,” he said. “Even if this place started out with resources, they'd have fought over everything until nothing was left.”

He continued, “And the cultivators here were hunted like animals. With no resources, they gradually fade away... give it a century, and this realm will collapse. A new one will take its place.”

To the big shots in the celestial realm, worlds like this were a dime a dozen—just specks in an endless cosmos.

“Let's get moving. We need to figure out where the guardian is on this floor,” Jared said, scanning the horizon filled with jagged peaks. He wasn't sure where to start.

“Mr. Chance,” Kishor chimed in, “we might cover more ground if we split up.”

Jared nodded. “Makes sense. Take this—documentation device. Whoever finds something first, use it to reach out.” He handed over the communication device to Kishor, who gave a quick nod and vanished in a blink.

“Let's go too,” Jared said, taking Catalina's hand as they leapt across the mountain ridge.

As they traveled, they occasionally ran into other cultivators—just more challengers from the celestial realm. But oddly enough, there weren't many left.

“This doesn't feel right,” Jared murmured. “Could all the cultivators on the second floor have been wiped out?”

His brow creased as the thought lingered.

Just then, two figures rapidly approached. It was Rosa and Isla, the twin sisters who'd recently arrived on the second level. “Mr. Chance, you're already here?” Rosa asked, clearly surprised.

“Just show me the way. I'll explain everything once we get there,” Jared insisted, a bit excited that finding the guardian was turning out to be so easy.

The sisters nodded and led Jared toward a nearby mountain peak.

Once they landed on the wide summit, the ground trembled beneath their feet. A man in a simple robe slowly approached from the far side. His expression soured slightly when he saw them.

“Go back and train some more,” he said. “With skills like yours, you really think you're ready?”

“Sir,” Rosa quickly stepped in, “this time it's not us. Mr. Chance here wants to take the challenge.”

The robed man—Ararat Goizeder—gave Jared a quick once-over and scoffed. “Ultimate Realm Level Three? Seriously? You two were stronger. Not interested.”
