The eyes of Song Yu, Miao Yuxin, and Lu Jian glistened.
As expected of Progenitor Wen Dao, even though Xiao Zhonghuang was sure to win with his first-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit, he would not allow anyone to disrupt his plan.
The breathing of the crowd halted.
Just like how Progenitor Wen Dao mentioned, how powerful would Xiao Zhonghuang be after acquiring the Heart of Bodhi?
Qin Nan would be completely outmatched in the duel against him at the Reaperâs Platform, without a doubt!
âShameless to the max!â
Tang Qingshan and his crew emitted tremendous murderous intent.
They were all outstanding geniuses a few hundred years ago as well, thus they could no longer stand it after being picked on like this.
âWhy are you being bothered by such a mere trick?â As the four were about to become enraged, Sacred Leader Qinglong calmly spoke, âBe calm at all times, and control your temper.â
âMasterâââ
Tang Qingshan and the others were about to something, but chose to shut their mouths after seeing the gaze from Sacred Leader Qinglong. They had no choice but to gulp their anger back into their stomachs.
A cold grin appeared on the face of Progenitor Wen Dao, This Sacred Leader Qinglong was still acting calm now.
He was eager to see if Sacred Leader Qinglong could remain calm when the participants arrived at the Reaperâs Platform!
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
â¦The Ocean of Death, first trial, the Bloodshed Tombâ¦
Deathâs Servant ignored the looks from the crowd and flicked his finger. A magical fruit the size of a brain with a crystal-like appearance landed in Xiao Zhonghuangâs hand.
Xiao Zhonghuang burst out laughing after receiving the fruit, âQin Nan, so what if youâve come first in the trial? The Heart of Bodhi is still mine in the end!â
In the midst of his laugh, Xiao Zhonghuang did not lose track of his priorities. He swiftly devoured the Heart of Bodhi.
BANG!
A few mystical rays of light were emitted from Xiao Zhonghuangâs body, causing his aura to turn mysterious.
âSon of a b*tch!â
Qin Nanâs eyes flickered with lightning.
He took a step forward while his aura swiftly caused the Heavens and Earth to tremble as if an atavistic beast had awakened.
Peak Leader Yang and his companions who were immersed in laughter immediately switched their focus onto Qin Nan.
This Qin Nan dared to disrespect them!
Despite the presence of eighteen Peak Leaders and many Martial Dominator Realm experts, he dared to attack them still?
âHow bold!â Deathâs Servant snapped, âNo one is allowed to use violence in the first trial. Anyone who breaks the rule will be prohibited from reaching the Reaperâs Platform!â
Qin Nanâs footsteps came to a halt as he raised his head and glared at Deathâs Servant coldly.
âQin Nan, donât do it.â At that instant, Sima Kong suddenly transmitted his voice to him, âDeathâs Servant was appointed among countless dead souls to take charge of the trials, thus he was given great authority. We cannot afford to go against his will now, but donât you worry; if Deathâs Servant did anything stupid at the Reaperâs Platform, he would be punished by the Ocean of Death.â
Qin Nan was startled by the words, before he glanced at Sima Kong with a surprised look.
He had not expected Sima Kong to know all this.
âThis Deathâs Servant targeted the Imperial Exterminator before, and is obviously being partial to Xiao Zhonghuang now. He is surely planning something, but they have no idea that I possess a fifth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit. Therefore, Xiao Zhonghuang would not stand a chance against me in terms of Martial Skill Talentâ¦â
Qin Nanâs murderous intent gradually dissipated.
As Progenitor Wen Dao and Deathâs Servant were working together, he could not expose too much about his Martial Spirit yet. He could only do so at the Reaperâs Platform!
Although he did not feel pleasant, he had to endure it for the sake of the Imperial Exterminator and Sacred Leader Qinglong.
âHumph!â
Peak Leader Yang and the others wore mocking looks after seeing that Qin Nan did not dare to make his move.
Did he really think he had the right to challenge them?
Without Sacred Leader Qinglongâs protection, Qin Nan was nothing worth mentioning in their eyes!
âThe second trial begins now!â Deathâs Servant glanced at Qin Nan scornfully before he spoke, âI forgot to mention that those who are selected by me are allowed to proceed to the second trial without participating in the first trial. You, and youâ¦â
The Deathâs Servant pointed at the Peak Leaders and ten other Martial Dominator Realm experts.
The crowd became enraged after seeing this!
Shameless!
Shameless to the max!
This Deathâs Servant was being completely unfair!
Deathâs Servant was aware of the crowdâs gazes, who turned around and snapped, âAny objections?â
Despite being furious, the crowd could not help but feel their hearts shiver after being stared at by Deathâs Servant.
After all, this Deathâs Servant was at the half-Martial Sacred Realm. The suppression he emitted was not to be underestimated.
âThis assholeâ¦â
Princess Miao Miao squinted her eyes.
The Longhu Dominator Beast and Zhao Fang wore icy expressions.
Although they were extremely infuriated, they clearly knew that they must endure it for the time being!
âLetâs proceed to the second trial!â
Deathâs Servant waved his hand, causing clouds of black smoke to transform into a giant beast that encapsulated the figures of Xiao Zhonghuangâs crew, Qin Nanâs team, the mysterious Zero, and over ten rogue cultivators.
Qin Nan could feel his figure turning light, before he sank downward and he felt his feet touching the ground. The black clouds had disappeared.
âMm?â
Qin Nan could vaguely feel something, thus he raised his head to take a look. With a glimpse, his expression changed greatly.
Before them lay a terrifying river, which was more than a thousand zhang wide, branching off into all directions as if it had been slashed open by a godly sword!
The water of the river was covered in the color of blood, and deep within it were countless pitch-black figures struggling and uttering cries in agony, causing the crowdâs scalps to turn numb.
These figures were all dead souls!
BANG!
As the crowd was immersed in astonishment, a loud explosion took place on the terrifying river. Following it, a black glow was emitted from it which extended to the area before the crowd.
The black glow shuddered violently, before transforming into a stone bridge.
The bridge was eight zhang wide, with a dark red color, as if it had been formed with condensed blood. Apart from that, the bridge was filled with eye-catching ravines, as if a tragic battle had taken place there a long time ago.
A boulder appeared before the crowd, which was the height of three men. On it was written three bloody letters:
The Underworld Bridge!
