Li Qingshan had some guesses about the points, assuming they were used to measure final military merit.

However, he wanted to hear the specifics from the Realm Masters.

Zhou Wei immediately explained, “In the Cosmic Battlefield, everyone receives a jade token and one point upon entering. The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible to gain the greatest rewards in the end.”

“Explain in detail what the points can be exchanged for,” Li Qingshan requested.

“This began with the Chaos World. When the Cosmic Battlefield was created, the Chaos World offered substantial rewards to encourage the Six Equal Universes to settle their conflicts here.”

“These rewards include various cosmic treasures, top-tier cultivation techniques, and even Chaos artifacts, which attract many participants.

“Thus, points were introduced. The Cosmic Battlefield opens for 50,000 years at a time. During this period, participants can kill each other to accumulate points. Those with the most points can obtain Chaos magic treasure, which draws many people in.

“For us lesser beings, accumulating points allows us to exchange them for cultivation resources when we leave the battlefield.”

“Because of this, the slaughter has become even more intense. We dare not venture into the central areas of the battlefield. Instead, we stay on the outskirts, hunting newcomers to earn points. Over 50,000 years, we can amass quite a bit,” Zhou Wei added.

Li Qingshan understood now, confirming his suspicions.

Points indeed measure military merit.

However, he hadn’t expected the inclusion of Chaos magic treasure, whose name alone suggested immense power, given that they could incite competition among countless experts from the Six Equal Universes.

“How long has it been since this round of the Cosmic Battlefield opened?” Xia Wuji asked.

“Three years. There’s still a long way to go before 50,000 years. This time, billions have entered from the Six Equal Universes, making the competition intense,” Zhou Wei responded.

“And how many points have you accumulated in these three years?” Li Qingshan calmly inquired.

Zhou Wei and the other two Realm Masters exchanged glances.

“I have 500 points.”

“I have over 500.”

“I have 500 as well.”

The three of them answered one by one.

Li Qingshan frowned. These three Realm Masters had been preying on newcomers, killing over 1,500 of them for points.

This number didn’t include the Realm Master with sealed senses.

This revelation disturbed Li Qingshan.

The top experts of the Human World Universe, after struggling for half their lives and elevating their cultivation, enter the Supreme Path seeking a future and hoping to see if there is another path at the peak.

Some of them have waited for millions of years, finally getting their chance to enter the Supreme Path. They come in with high hopes, only to be hunted down by these Realm Masters before they have done anything or learned anything.

Damn it!

Li Qingshan’s eyes turned slightly cold, causing the hearts of the three Realm Masters to tremble.

“Lord, if you spare me, I will offer up all my points with both hands. Together, we have two thousand points, enough to place you among the highest scorers at once,” Zhou Wei said with a pang in his heart, knowing he had to make a tough decision to save his own life.

Points could be regained, but once life was lost, in this Cosmic Battlefield, there would be no one to seek revenge for them.

Li Qingshan looked at them and said softly, “If I kill you, won’t the points still be mine? Why should I spare your lives?”

Zhou Wei and the others’ faces changed drastically, staring at Li Qingshan in horror.

This… made sense; they couldn’t refute it.

“Lord, we are quite familiar with the Cosmic Battlefield. Spare us, and I can serve you as a guide, clearing paths for you,” one Realm Master who didn’t want to die immediately pleaded.

“You mentioned earlier that you’ve been hunting newcomers for the past three years, afraid to venture into the depths of the Cosmic Battlefield. What do you really know? Even if you have some knowledge, it’s probably hearsay. Even if you know something, I’m afraid it wouldn’t do justice to those who died at your hands. The questioning is almost done; it’s time for you to go,” Li Qingshan said, gesturing casually.

A brilliant light burst from his fingertips, dazzling and radiant, carrying Li Qingshan’s will as it struck the glabella of the three Realm Masters.

Boom!

The next moment, the Realm Masters couldn’t even utter a plea for help. They only felt darkness engulfing them, with only the dazzling light remaining, tearing through the sky, shaking their primordial spirits, and beginning their transformation.

In less than a second, their gazes scattered, knowing nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, the three Realm Masters fell.

Xia Wuji clicked his tongue. “These people indeed deserved to die. If it weren’t for Li Qingshan’s vigilance earlier, we might have fallen victim to them as well. This avenges the more than two thousand experts of the Human World Universe.”

“Hunting newcomers is indeed despicable. What about that person?” Immortal Northstar asked.

“Open his five senses, then ask the questions again. If there’s no discrepancy, send him on his way. If there is, be more thorough in the questioning,” Li Qingshan said coldly.

“I’ll go ask.” Xia Wuji volunteered eagerly, entering the wooden hut to interrogate.

In the valley, Li Qingshan, Immortal Northstar, Demon Frog, and Hua Yun stood together, watching the cold light scatter. Immortal Northstar carefully felt around the corpses, retrieving jade tokens and other treasures from the three Realm Masters.

“You hold onto the points. We’ll split these treasures.” Immortal Northstar handed over three jade tokens to Li Qingshan.
