Chapter 272 Goodbye, True Martial World!
After dealing with Liang, Dante called Mei Leiluo back and instructed her to follow him. As for Jia Susu, she would remain at the Supreme Martial Hall's Green Wind City branch and be nurtured by Hao Donglei personally until she was ready to ascend to the province level.
In the meantime, Dante casually cast a 9th Bank teleportation spell that took them exactly where he wanted to go. This spell could even cross planes for 9th Rank mages; crossing continents was pretty easy.
When the two stepped out on the other side, they found themselves within the scope of a barren wasteland with craggy rocks and huge craters.
Mei Leiluo looked at this desolation in disbelief. "Would you believe me if I told you that this was previously a beautiful forested area with lakes and rivers?"
Dante smiled knowingly. "I can tell. The traces of battle still linger, and it seems like we are not too late."
Mei Leiluo was startled and scanned the area with her spirit sense. Her range was far less than Dante's, only reaching about 12 kilometers, so it was not enough to see the ongoing chase that was happening.
Dante simply gestured ahead and took a step forward, moving hundreds of meters per second while bringing along Mei Leiluo using a simple wind element spell of the 5th rank.
Mei Leiluo floated slightly above the ground on a current of wind, the world around her becoming a blur as she rapidly moved forward.
Soon, they arrived at a blazing area that was on fire. Thunderous explosions echoed, and the sky was illuminated with various colors.
Mei Leiluo's face changed greatly as she retracted her spirit sense. She could sense the battle fluctuations directly and knew that releasing her spirit sense around fellow Internal Arts users was the fastest way to get detected and attacked mentally.
Dante, however, had no such qualms. He directly arrived above the battlefield, looking down on the free-for-all between over 100 Martial Gods and nearly 40 Internal Arts users.
What surprised Mei Leiluo was the fact that there were no Immortals. That is, there were no human, earth, or heaven immortals around, which left her puzzled.
This kind of item had ignited the entire world in greed and battle. Mei Leiluo had been keeping tabs on the entire affair from her base in the Great Song Kingdom's capital and knew that the death toll of experts had surpassed the triple digits.
If it weren't for the fact that this world was not threatened by some external invasion plot, they would have been practically crippled in terms of overall battle power.
As for civilian casualties, well, who bothered to record the deaths of a bunch of ants?
Dante, though, did not care. He immediately identified the party that was carrying the scroll, which glowed with divine power. It was clear that the person could not use, destroy, or store the scroll due to its nature, so unless they defeated all enemies or escaped, this battle royale would continue.
Dante reached out a hand and made a pulling motion. The Internal Arts Grandmaster who was holding the scroll with a death grip was shocked to have it yanked out of his hand and up into the sky.
This immediately caused the fighting to stop as everyone's expressions changed. Their heads snapped towards the sky to see the smiling Dante who collected the scroll and Mei Leiluo, who was nervous beside him.
Dante did not even pay them any attention and placed the scroll in his quantum space. No matter how special this item was, in the face of the almighty Quantum Entanglement, it could only lower its head in obedience.
Just as he opened a portal to leave, he heard a roar from below. When he turned with a frown to look down, the various combatants were rushing into the sky with bloodshot eyes, not caring about anything as they did not want Dante to just reap the reward without paying a price.
Dante pondered to himself. "Hmm, this is Eastern Fantasy, right? They often have things like Forbidden Zones and Inheritance Zones. Let's leave one here."
Mei Leiluo did not understand what Dante was saying as he muttered to himself like this, but her face changed from confusion to utter terror when she saw Dante snap his fingers.
Immediately, a giant portal opened up in the sky, and a large humanoid hand made of bones covered with black energy slammed down, smashing all the incoming warriors into the ground and causing the entire continent to tremble.
9th Rank spell, Skeleton God's Palm!
The death energy spread around the crater and covered the entire place. The land that was already beaten up became worse, a black miasma rising from the earth and spreading around to cover the entire fallout zone.
Filled with pure death energy and elements, anyone with enough talent could comprehend death element-related abilities or even create unique Internal Arts and even some External Arts.
However, those without sufficient strength would be assimilated by the zone and become undead at best, at worst, they would simply disintegrate, their body and soul being destroyed, preventing them from entering the cycle of reincarnation forever.
An Inheritance Zone and a Forbidden Zone all in one!
Dante felt satisfied and glanced at Mei Leiluo, whose pupils had constricted to the max. The void behind the skeleton palm gave her a feeling of great fear, not to mention the palm itself, which could easily extinguish her existence.
Then the leftover fallout was enough to give her great trouble if she entered unprepared, even as a Martial God and Internal Arts Grandmaster. Basically, only Human Immortals and above were qualified to enter, or Martial Gods with more than three times the average Blood Qi of someone in the same realm.
"If you know them, you can go and raid their home bases for resources. This is my gift to you," Dante stated straightforwardly and took out a piece of paper that his Quantum Clone had fetched from the Eternal Universe.
He smiled and imbued the paper with magic, then tossed it to the dumbfounded woman. "This is a magic scroll with the 4th Rank Trans-Spatial Movement spell, allowing you and up to three people to travel anywhere within 100,000 kilometers by forming a portal on the spot."
"It has about 50 uses, so manage it well. Use it to get to the locations of these guys' factions and raid them before the news spreads."
Dante then paused and turned to glance at her one last time. "Also, make sure to take good care of Susu."
He then took his real body out of this quantum world and redeemed his account, ending his run here. Mei Leiluo simply stared at the spot where Dante had once stood with a dazed expression, her brain lagging as she tried to process everything.
"Did I… just meet a god?" She asked herself in a muted voice.

Dante returned to The Inferno and sighed as he laid on the sofa within the observation deck. Beatrice was not here, spending much-needed time with her mother while Portia stressed and micro-managed every aspect of Beatrice's prenatal care.
One condition Portia raised was that Dante could freely spend time with Beatrice as she was his partner, but they couldn't get intimate. Dante wholeheartedly accepted this as he wasn't really into pregnancy sex in the first place, not to mention he would be busy for a while.
It was Portia's turn to enjoy her daughter. When Beatrice gave birth, he would seize back his wife and the mother of his child!
"Oh right, new power system," Dante muttered as he laid deeper into the sofa.
It was time to add some more useful powers to his repertoire. External Arts/Internal Arts, Knight Breathing/All Element Magic, and Eyes of Illusion occupied three slots, and he had a total of five, meaning he still had two free slots.
Well, the company establishment was still underway since Beatrice told him she would surprise him with something in a month, so Dante was willing to wait. He was also still waiting on the technological information for the quantum world hosting, so there was a dead end there too.
In the end, the only thing he could do now was to casually scroll through quantum worlds and see which ones interested him. He was not really searching for one with great utility, more or less having great synergistic power overall.
In other words, he was not looking for 'cool' or 'overpowered,' but rather something that would fill in the gaps that his current array of powers could not. This caused him to browse through rapidly until he landed on a world he had considered in the past but put aside because he was not sure how it would work.
