Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Chapter 1453 Incredulous

?

As the seventh ranked quadrant, there was no question that the Enigmatic Sect controlled quite a few Danger Zones on every tier. One had to remember that the resources garnered on the celestial and dao floors were incredibly important to a sect's foundation. Knowing this, how could the 7th ranked quadrant not invest properly in controlling them?

"Low Enigmatic City controls a territory of 13 Bronze Danger Zones and 3 Silver Danger Zones." Ava responded despite not knowing what Dyon was getting at.

Every celestial tier had exactly 999 static Danger Zones. This essentially meant that no matter the day or time you enter, these 999 static Danger Zones would always be here. These were the kind of Danger Zones that could be claimed and controlled.

That said, the ownership of Danger Zones was incredibly fluid. Some of the more volatile ones changed ownership every other month. Only incredibly powerful Clans and Sects could maintain power for extended periods of time. In fact, this fluidity was often decided by key wielders. Key wielders had special rights and were thus in better position to protect in comparison to a normal powerful individual. This was why the Water Mist Sect had such strict rules about when their key could be passed on.

This aside, with the existence of static danger zones, there were, of course, dynamic danger zones. These were Danger Zones that appeared and disappeared. Some dynamic danger zones had a set cycle that could be timed and managed. However, there were also some that appeared and disappeared at will without rhyme or reason.

In truth, the Ancient Battlefield was the most enigmatic of all dynamic danger zones. This wasn't only because its appearance was erratic, but also because it didn't care for a person's cultivation when it did appear. Anyone, whether dao expert, celestial, or even saint, could enter as long as they were Kings as a minimum.

In fact, even this King rule was tossed out for some. After all, the outer quadrants participated in its appearance as well… It was truly an enigma no one could understand.

The last important point about Danger Zones were their ranks. Static danger zones came in three tiers: bronze, silver, and gold. There were 900 bronze danger zones, 90 silver, and just 9 gold. One could see how valuable gold danger zones were considering even the Enigmatic Sect wasn't qualified to control one!

"Is that so?" Dyon smiled. "The Sacharro Clan will be taking control of all of your danger zones. You have two options. The first is to fight me and leave half dead. Or, you can make the smarter decision and simply leave now. The choice is yours."

When Ava heard Dyon's words she simply left his arms and smiled, falling backward. In that moment, not just her, but the other five also felt a keen sense of security. Since Dyon had said he'd do it, he could do it!

The crowd sucked in a cold breath. The matters of City Strongholds and Danger Zones wasn't as simple as a squabble between the younger generation. Although even behemoth-like Clans allowed their youths to fight and earn these things, no one doubted how important it was to a Clan as a whole. If Dyon suddenly seized all of the Enigmatic Sect's territory in the lower tier, even their secluded elders would hear about it!

Malthor stared at Dyon, trying to gauge whether it was serious or not. Surprisingly, his immediate reaction wasn't unbridled anger.

"How funny." He suddenly said. "First your people steal like a bunch of beggars, and now their leader comes to steal as well."

Dyon waved his arm, stopping those behind him from protesting.

"Wrong. I didn't come to steal, I've come to take. For your words today, not only will Low Enigmatic City lose its Danger Zones on this tier, I'll be taking this Stronghold as well.I think you should take a look at

"It just so happens that one of my rewards is the right to claim a territory that disallows outside attacks for five years. I've decided that I'll be taking this one."

"..."

"What did he just say?"

"He's got to be bluffing, there's never been such an outrageous reward before. Even when the rewards are combined, one might get a few weeks, maybe a month or two of protection at most. Who's ever heard of five years?!"

"That's not even the most glaring point." Someone else hopped in. "The size of Low Enigmatic City's territory is massive. How could a territory reward be so large? Plus, isn't the territory you chose only allowed to be unclaimed? Since when could you choose to take over an already claimed territory?! Plus, isn't there supposed to be a minimum territory amount that each clan and sect is allowed?!"

"I've heard of taking claimed Danger Zones as a reward, but territory is a completely different matter entirely!" Someone else supplemented.

One had to know that while Danger Zones were the most coveted, territories outside them were decently valuable as well. They often had lower tier spiritual ingredients and minerals in high volumes. So, territories were incredibly important for foundations as well, making them far less volatile and fluid in their ownership in comparison to danger zones.

The murmurs of the crowd grew louder and more incredulous. They couldn't believe what they were hearing, but they also didn't believe Dyon was a fool who would simply spout nonsense.

The rewards given to those who completed their trials to a certain bar were well known by many particularly because of how high profile some of these undertakings were. For example, after Anak defeated the Celestial God Door Key Sentinel in just ten moves, he was given the right to claim 1 silver danger zone for his own.

One had to know that the Key Sentinel only appeared for Key Wielders, and only by defeating it to a certain standard would you be allowed to claim already owned danger zones. This was one of the advantages of being a key wielder and was also why Dyon's sentinel was twice as tall as the ones his demon generals faced.

Malthor frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Nonsense? Never that." Dyon smiled lightly. "I'm allowed to claim 50 bronze danger zones, 10 silver danger zones, and 1 gold danger zone. I'm also allowed to claim 3% of the lower tier's land for myself.

"My danger zones will be protected from reconquering for 6 months, and my territory will be protected for 5 years.

"So, I'll ask you again. Will you walk out of here, or crawl out?"
