"Even if this old hunchback dies, I'll drag the entire Giant Demon Clan down with me!"
A hoarse voice slowly traveled out from the sky. As it spread out in a mighty manner, a gigantic emerald green toad that was hundreds of feet tall appeared in the distance.
The toad landed in the distance, causing the ground to rumble. Even though it was far away, Wang Lin could still feel the ground tremble. Shortly after, the toad's hind legs pushed off the ground and its giant body jumped into the air. It moved like lightning and disappeared into the distance. When it reappeared, it wasn't far away from the group.
It descended from the sky like a small mountain. It stopped 100 feet away from Wang Lin and company and smashed into the ground.
With a boom, the fog in the surroundings was lifted up and blown far away.
After the fog disappeared, the giant toad was revealed. There were countless lumps on the toad's back. These lumps slowly shrank, and there were faint fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from them.
The giant toad's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty gaze.
There was a person sitting on top of the toad. This person was wearing a green robe and was short. His back was bulging, making him look like a hunchback.
His eyes were like triangles, his chin was short, and he had a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks. His eyes flickered with a dim light, and his face was covered with abscesses that looked like toads. An unpleasant stench was emitted from those abscesses, making him look extremely ugly.
He touched the abscesses on his face and laughed in a hoarse voice. "Those old bastards from the Giant Demon Clan chased me for 300 years and were all poisoned to death by me. If it wasn't for the fact that the 1,000 year period is about to end and this place is about to open again, this old hunchback would have killed his way to the Giant Demon Clan to get revenge."
With that, he bent his body and stepped on the toad. The toad was intelligent, so it stuck out its red tongue and pointed it at the ground.
The hunchback stepped on the tongue and slowly walked down. As he walked, he coughed as he slowly walked to the ground.
After he landed, he casually waved his right hand and the giant toad immediately shrank until it was the size of a palm. It jumped onto his shoulder and its stomach quickly contracted, releasing bursts of gurgling sounds.
The moment he stood there, the ground within three feet of him let out a sizzling sound, and strands of black gas slowly rose from the ground.
Ren Lin remained calm and collected. He took a few steps back and observed with cold eyes. He knew that this person was an expert in using poison. Hence, he became even more vigilant.
Six Desire Devil Lord Xu Liqing frowned. He looked at the green cloaked hunchback and said, "I haven't seen you in a thousand years. Why is the smell of poison on your body getting stronger?"
The Old Man rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, "Six Desires Old Man, other people are afraid of your Six Desires Demonic Technique, but I am not. A thousand years ago, you and I were evenly matched. Do you want to fight again today?" With that said, he touched the toad on his shoulder and laughed wickedly.
Six Desire Devil Lord coldly stared at him. Waves of chaotic spiritual energy appeared between the two of them.
But soon, the two of them turned around and retracted their spiritual energy.
Just at this moment, Ancient Emperor, who had been coldly watching from ten feet away, slowly said, "Everyone is here. This time, the Old Man stole the Ice Wind Barrier from a rank 4 cultivation country. He should be able to finish the first trial."
Six Desire Devil Lord's voice was cold as he said, "I'll handle the second half of the first trial!"
Hunchback Meng touched the abscess on his face. With a hoarse voice, he said, "For the second trial, watch this old hunchback!"
Duanmu Ji pointed at Wang Qingyue in the distance and said, "This person is Wang Qingyue. He is an expert in the Five Element Escape Technique, which will be helpful to us. This little friend is an expert in the Death Curse Technique. The third trial's divine sense attack will all depend on him."
Hunchback Meng's dim eyes swept across Wang Lin's body, but he didn't say a word.
Six Desire Devil Lord walked toward the transfer array. His hands formed a strange seal and shot out a few rays of light. The entire transfer array rumbled and began to crack from the inside out. Bursts of green smoke came out of the transfer array. When there was no more green smoke, the transfer array was completely broken.
Immediately after, he looked at the transfer array for a while. His body immediately flickered and he quickly walked around.
With every step he took, he would leave a ray of light on the ground. As his body moved faster and faster, more and more rays of light appeared. In the end, his body seemed to become a series of afterimages. At first glance, it looked like there were countless copies of himself appearing at every corner of the transfer array.
Not long after, all of the afterimages disappeared, leaving only his original body standing in the center of the transfer array. He waved his hand and a large amount of precious materials flew out from his bag of holding. Then he spat out a purple flame from his mouth. Under the heat of the flame, all of the materials melted into a liquid.
Six Desire Devil Lord's hands pointed at the transfer array and the multi-colored liquid fell into the transfer array one by one. When the last drop of liquid entered the transfer array, the entire transfer array let out a rumbling sound.
At the same time, a different Teleportation Formation appeared in front of everyone. There were more than twice as many symbols in the Teleportation Formation as there were before. Apart from that, there were also ten pillars of light that shot into the sky from the Teleportation Formation.
Creatures that looked like wandering souls would appear from time to time in these light pillars. They would circle around the light pillars and let out soundless cries.
Six Desire Devil Lord took a deep breath and shouted, "The transfer array is about to open. Quickly throw out the top quality spirit stones. According to our agreement, this time the Old Man will take out four of them!"
The change here attracted the attention of Wang Qingyue, who was fighting with his avatars in the gravel area. He was already at a disadvantage. The endless attacks from his avatars, coupled with the fact that they were a realm higher than him, put him in a difficult position. If he was the slightest bit careless, he would lose his life on the spot. He was forced out of the gravel area many times, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
After seeing the change in the Teleportation Formation, he hesitated for a moment, then quickly retreated and rushed out of the gravel area. In an instant, he arrived next to Duanmu Ji. His eyes flashed as he stared at the four top-quality Spirit Stones in the Teleportation Formation. Greed flashed in his eyes.
After he returned, the avatars in the gravel area slowly dissipated. They turned back into gravel and slowly moved in a circle.
Wang Lin was also staring at the top quality spirit stones. His heart was pounding. He knew that the Sea of Devils was very big. If he didn't use an ancient transfer array, it would take too long to cross it. Plus, there were many dangerous places along the way.
However, the only way to use an ancient transfer array was to have top quality spirit stones. However, top quality spirit stones were too rare. This caused the few transfer arrays that had been passed down since ancient times to be in a state of disrepair. Most of them were completely useless.
At this moment, the Ji Emperor slapped his bag of holding and took out two top quality spirit stones. After looking at them for a bit, he threw them out. The two spirit stones flew into the two pillars of light and floated there motionlessly.
Duanmu Ji clenched his teeth and took out the remaining two top quality spirit stones. He looked at them with heartache before throwing them out. Of the ten pillars of light, eight had spirit stones floating in them.
The last person was Hunchback Meng. He patted the toad on his shoulder. The toad's stomach immediately swelled up and it opened its mouth. Two beams of light came out of its mouth one after the other and entered the pillars of light.
At this moment, all ten pillars of light were filled with top quality spirit stones. The pillars of light suddenly dimmed and the two ends disappeared. All of the spirit stones gathered on top of the pillars of light.
These ten spirit stones looked like ten dazzling suns. They slowly fell onto the transfer array. At this moment, the transfer array immediately shook and began to slowly rotate.
Six Desire Devil Lord's eyes revealed a hint of excitement as he shouted, "A thousand years ago, there were nearly 100 of us that entered. We didn't even get to enter the inner area. Just the restrictions on the outside made us go through a lot of trouble. In the end, we failed at the third trial and only the four of us survived. After a thousand years, our cultivation levels have increased a lot. This time, we must break the restrictions and go in!
Even Ancient Emperor's eyes lit up as he stepped into the transfer array.
Behind him were Hunchback Meng, Duanmu Ji, and the three young men that came with Six Desire Devil Lord. As for Wang Qingyue, after pondering a bit, he also entered.
Wang Lin lowered his head and pondered. His eyes lit up as he walked in.
The seven of them all entered the transfer array. Six Desire Devil Lord let out a roar and the transfer array began to move. The ten top quality spirit stones exploded one by one. A huge wave of spiritual energy spread out in all directions. Even the surrounding valley was turned to dust by the wave. Even the gravel field couldn't help but pause for a moment.
After a long time, the wave of spiritual energy slowly dissipated. The transfer array was beyond recognition. It was broken and could no longer be used.
Inside the Chaotic Broken Stars was a plain. In the sky above the plain, there was an oval-shaped ring of light. The inside of the ring of light was completely dark, making it impossible to see what it looked like.
Under this ring of light, there was a transfer array. At this moment, the transfer array flashed and seven figures appeared.
Ancient Emperor was the first to walk out. He stared at the oval-shaped ring of light with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. He jumped up and appeared outside the ring of light. After circling around it a few times, he said, "In the past thousand years, there shouldn't have been anyone who came here. Our seal is still intact!"
With that, he stretched out his hand and waved it outside the ring of light. Sometimes, a black line would come out from the ring of light and disappear into his hand.
Wang Lin could clearly feel that Duanmu, Six Desire Devil Lord, and Hunchback Meng let out a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He looked around. The plain inside the Chaotic Broken Stars was endless. The sky was dark. Wang Lin knew that this was some kind of powerful restriction.
The plain was completely silent, and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen.
At this moment, Six Desire Devil Lord looked at Wang Qingyue and Wang Lin and said, "Welcome to the Chaotic Broken Stars. Regardless of whether Duanmu mentioned this place to the two of you, I have to emphasize it again.
After passing through this oval-shaped ring of light, you will enter a mysterious space. According to the records of the inheritance items we obtained, there is the corpse of God Ji. God Ji's power comes from his body. His body is extremely large. Even the weakest ancient god's body is about the size of Suzaku. I can tell everyone that God Ji here is an adult. His body is the size of countless Suzaku.
The reason why it was said that there were countless treasures here was because even if an Ancient God died, his Divine Sense wouldn't disappear. It was just that he was in a state of deep sleep. If he could enter his body and obtain his memories, then any one of the Cultivation Methods stored in his memories would be an incredible Great Divine Ability.
As for treasures, ancient gods don't use bags of holding because there is no bag of holding that can store treasures that an ancient god can use. That's why an adult ancient god stores all of their treasures in their body. If you are lucky, you can obtain them.
"There are also pills. The cultivation of an ancient god cannot be separated from pills. The value of the pills they consume far surpasses what we can imagine. However, they don't completely digest the pills. Instead, they store a portion in their meridians. Our goal this time is the Soul Transformation Pill. This kind of pill can be found in the meridians of an ancient god."
Wang Qingyue's eyes lit up. The corner of his mouth moved as he stared at the oval-shaped ring of light in the air and began to ponder.
Hunchback Meng touched the abscess on his face and said in a hoarse voice,
"Six Desire Devil Lord, Duanmu, there are too many people this time. If we don't break the restriction, it's fine, but if we do, how will we split the loot?"
Six Desire Devil Lord looked at Wang Qingyue and said, "Anyone who enters will get one item each. If it is a Soul Transformation Pill, then it will be split based on your own ability."
Duanmu let out a mischievous laugh and said, "It's too early to talk about this. We can talk about it after we break the restriction."
Hunchback Meng's gaze fell on the young man who came in with Six Desire Devil Lord. He laughed and said, "Little friend, how will you help us break the restriction?"
Six Desire Devil Lord looked at Wang Lin and coldly said, "Same as him.
"Like him, he can also be used in the third realm. This person is a cultivator from the rank 3 cultivation country of India and is good at using ghostly spells. He might have an effect on the creatures in the third realm. I walked for several years before I found him."
"So it's like this … Hehe, the third trial. Last time we were stopped at the third trial. I hope this time we can break it!" Hunchback Meng let out a strange smile as his gaze swept between Wang Lin and the young man.
At this moment, Ancient Emperor, who was outside the circle of light, waved his hands faster and faster. Black threads appeared like rain. His expression became more and more serious. Finally, he put his hands together and pushed forward. Suddenly, countless black threads came out from the circle of light and formed a black dragon. After letting out a roar, its body quickly shrank and landed in Ancient Emperor's palm.
"Okay, enter!" Ji Emperor took a deep breath. He slapped his bag of holding and took out two jade bracelets after putting the black dragon away.
One of the two bracelets was big and the other small. The big one was slightly red and the small one was slightly grey.
Holding the two bracelets, Ancient Emperor hesitated for a bit before stepping into the circle of light and disappearing.
Six Desire Devil Lord's eyes narrowed. He grabbed the young man and jumped into the circle of light.
Wang Qingyue licked his lips and followed.
Finally, Duanmu and Hunchback Meng looked at each other before looking at Wang Lin.
Without saying a word, Wang Lin flew into the air and stopped outside the circle of light. He looked back at Duanmu, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Since we are here, I hope senior can fulfill your promise."
Duanmu laughed and said, "This matter is not urgent. After I pass the third trial, I will give it to you."
Wang Lin coldly looked at him and didn't say a word.
Hunchback Meng looked at them for a bit and let out a mischievous laugh. He walked past Duanmu and ignored the two of them.
Duanmu stared at Wang Lin. After pondering for a bit, he took out two pills and said, "Take them!"
After Wang Lin caught them, he carefully looked at them. It was indeed as Li Muwan had described. The smaller one was the Earth Transformation Pill and the larger one was the Soul Forming Pill.
After carefully putting them away, Wang Lin entered the circle of light without saying a word. The moment he entered, Wang Lin felt like he was passing through a thin film.
The scene before him caused him to suck in a breath of cold air and freeze on the spot.
This place was shockingly similar to the Nirvana World he had been in before. It was also a boundless land of black nothingness. If there was a difference, it would be that there were countless conical boulders here. These boulders were lifted by a strange power and floated in the air, slowly moving forward.
Wang Lin was standing on one of the conical rocks. These 10 rocks were about 300 feet wide, and he was the only person standing on top of them.
Below the rocks was an endless void of darkness.
Looking around, as far as the eye could see, everyone who entered this place stood alone on one of the stones.
Under Ren Lin's observation, Duanmu, Six Desire Devil Lord, the Ji Emperor, and Hunchback Meng's expressions were normal. There was no sign of panic. As for Wang Qingyue, he revealed a thoughtful expression as he stood on the edge of the boulder and looked down.
The last one was the young man. He was sitting on top of the rock, staring blankly at his surroundings. His eyes were filled with shock.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and spread out his divine sense. There weren't any restrictions that could block divine sense, but considering the fact that there were many powerful cultivators around, Wang Lin didn't spread his divine sense too far. He only wrapped it around the rock he was on and stopped.
At this moment, Six Desire Devil Lord's voice came from the distance. "There is no danger here. You just need to enter the passage. You just need to sit on the floating rock."
After hearing this, Wang Lin sat down cross-legged and watched the rock he was sitting on slowly move forward. He pondered a little and found that no one was paying attention to him. He reached into his clothes and touched the bag of holding he got from the Hou Fen Union.
His divine sense entered the bag of holding, but there was no reaction. Wang Lin was startled, but this wasn't the time to think about it. He slowly withdrew his right hand and looked around.
Suddenly, Wang Qingyue, who was standing on the edge of the rock and looking down, suddenly shouted, "What is that!?"
"Two lanterns suddenly lit up in the void below. They were about ten feet in size.
Wang Lin's divine sense spread out and his heart tightened. How were these lights? They were clearly a pair of eyes.
Shortly after, the eyes disappeared, but soon reappeared. However, when they reappeared, they were even bigger. Hunchback Meng arrived at the edge of the rock and looked down with a gloomy face. He waved his right hand and blue powder fell from his position. As the powder fell, specks of ghostly light appeared. The lower it went, the brighter the ghostly light became. When it reached the eyes, a scene that made everyone take a deep breath appeared in front of them.
It was a giant snake-like creature. Its size was impossible to estimate. Just the part that the ghostly light could see was more than ten feet wide. It was about 100 feet wide.
The purplish-red scales on its body shone with a strange luster in the dim light.
There were nine long horns on its huge head and rows of sharp teeth. As they opened and closed, they emitted a frightening cold light.
Hunchback Meng's face immediately became very ugly. He quickly withdrew his right hand and the ghostly light disappeared. The area below was once again shrouded in darkness.
Hunchback Meng pondered for a bit and slowly said, "At the very least, it is a desolate beast!
Hunchback Meng pondered for a bit and slowly said, "It is the same as a peak Soul Formation cultivator!"
Six Desire Devil Lord's face was gloomy as he calmly said, "Don't provoke it. The last time we came here, we were able to pass safely. This time, as long as we don't provoke it, we will be able to pass as well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep roar came from the void below. Then, the pair of huge eyes became bigger and bigger, and a gust of fishy wind suddenly came from below.
Everyone suddenly stood up. Hunchback Meng slapped his bag of holding and a few pills appeared in his hand. He threw them and quickly said, "Keep them in your mouth to prevent poison!"
Six Desire Devil Lord jumped out and appeared next to the young man. He grabbed the young man's hand, took the pills, and quickly flew off into the distance.
At the same time, Duanmu Ji also looked over at Wang Lin. After seeing Wang Lin's calm expression, he hesitated a bit and sent a voice transmission saying, "Follow me!" Then he quickly flew off into the distance.
Wang Lin caught the pills that Hunchback Meng threw at him. He didn't immediately take them, but looked at everyone else. After seeing that everyone had taken them, he jumped out and put the pills in his mouth.
Everyone quickly leaped away from the cone-shaped stones. From afar, the stones seemed to be endless, leading to an endless land.
Wang Lin followed closely behind Duanmu Ji. The roar coming from below was getting more and more intense. The surrounding rocks showed signs of shaking.
At the same time, a boulder not too far behind them suddenly shattered into pieces as a huge head slammed into it. As the boulder shattered, the head's eyes shone with a cold light.
A fishy smell came from behind them. Wang Lin shouted for pills as he quickly jumped out with everyone else. As for the roar behind them, aside from the young man, no one looked back. They were all rushing forward at full speed.
Just like that, everyone's speed was determined. The fastest was Wang Qingyue, who was famous for his Five Elements Escape Technique. His body was in a semi-transparent state, and unlike the other people's arc-shaped jumps, he flew in a straight line. If he encountered a rock, his body would disappear the moment he touched it, and when he reappeared, he would be on the other side.
The snake shaped desolate beast coldly stared at the people jumping in front of it. It let out a roar and suddenly raised its body, revealing its tens of thousands of feet long body. Then it suddenly pressed down. There was still one more time before 12 o 'clock.
