Chapter 380: Heaven and Earth Stele!

Translator: 549690339

In an exceedingly vast and dark hall, a figure shrouded in a black robe walked in.

“Bronze Assassin, Gu Xinghan, here to receive a mission!” a voice emanated from the figure in the black robe.

“Speak!” A resplendent voice echoed throughout the hall.

“Ascension Camp, Emperor Wu Chan wishes to assassinate the Emperor ascending from Star City; this is the payment he offered.”

Without any visible motion from the figure in the black robe, all of the belongings given by Emperor Wu Chan appeared in front of him.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, half of these belongings were taken away.

“One month!”

“Bronze Assassin Gu Xinghan, to assassinate the Emperor ascending from Star City, this is your fifth mission. If you succeed this time, you will be promoted to a Silver Assassin.”

The unfeeling and indifferent voice spoke again, followed by the figure in the black robe being forcefully teleported out of the dark space by a tremendous force.

“A Silver Assassin, huh!”

The figure within the black robe trembled slightly. The Meta Organization was extremely vast, and even as an Emperor of the level five Eternal Realm, he was only the lowest-ranked Bronze Assassin within the organization.

Above him were Silver Assassins, Gold-Ranked Assassins, and the King of Assassins.

Bronze Assassins could only accept assassination missions targeting those below the level five Eternal Realm, with the corresponding rewards being the least.

Silver Assassins, on the other hand, could undertake missions to assassinate those from the sixth to the ninth level of the Eternal Realm.

As for Gold-Ranked Assassins, it is said that they are tasked with missions to assassinate Peak Emperors, those at the extreme limit, and Unparalleled Emperors; however, to ascend from Silver to Gold, one must complete twenty assassination missions.

The King of Assassins, meanwhile, is eligible for all assignments, including the assassination of unbeatable emperors.

The requirement to become the King of Assassins is quite straightforward; no matter what rank of assassin you are, if you manage to assassinate an unbeatable emperor, then you can become the King of Assassins.

Besides the supreme leader behind the Meta Organization, he had heard that there was only one King of Assassins in the organization, the one who had assassinated an unbeatable emperor.

Beyond that, he was unclear about the number of Silver and Gold-Ranked Assassins.

One must realize, it took him tens of thousands of years to accept only five missions, although this was partly because other Bronze Assassins were competing for the same targets.

But this also indirectly showed that the missions to assassinate Eternal Emperors were not abundant.

On one hand, the cost of assassinating an Eternal Emperor was excessively high; on the other hand, Eternal Emperors were so elusive that many of them might not even show themselves for countless years, and the missions were time-sensitive.

Just like the mission he had just accepted, he would make three attempts. If he failed all three times, the mission would be considered a failure, at which point he would have to surrender the half of Emperor Wu Chan’s belongings he had taken to the next assassin.

Until the assassination was successful.

If, after five Bronze Assassins, the mission still remained unfinished, then a Silver Assassin would take over.

This intervention constituted a mandatory assignment from Meta, which Silver Assassins couldn’t refuse, and the payment would still be based on Bronze rates.

As he recalled, since the foundation of Meta to the present, there seemed to have been no mission that had failed fifteen consecutive times.

At most, it seemed to have been left incomplete up to five times, and then succeeded on the sixth attempt.

However, just the thought of the privileges that came with being a Silver Assassin made the figure under the black robe uncontrollably excited.

You see, Silver Assassins were granted the opportunity to challenge the Heaven and Earth Stele once every ten thousand years.

The Heaven and Earth Stele, standing at the very center of the World of Eternity, no one knew the origin of this towering stone stele that pierced the clouds and whose summit couldn’t be seen.

What they did know was that anyone who challenged the Heaven and Earth Stele and succeeded would receive a reward, and a very generous one at that.

Among the twenty-four unbeatable emperors of the Ascension and Eternity camps, eight had become unbeatable emperors only after they were rewarded from challenging the Heaven and Earth Stele.

This made the opportunity to challenge the Heaven and Earth Stele the most valuable reward in all of the World of Eternity.

Challenge opportunities for the Heaven and Earth Stele were monopolized by various powers that had unbeatable emperors.

Although Meta wasn’t the strongest organization, they were the most chilling and feared, thus naturally holding a certain share of these opportunities.
