Chapter 614: Third Round (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Therefore, the difficulty of the second round was doubled. If he did not kill him on the official road but at the checkpoint, it would not affect the next level. This way, there would not be a problem with the subsequent stages. The difficulty would definitely not increase by ten to twenty times.

Under normal circumstances, these checkpoints were already getting harder and harder. Even doubling the difficulty would become extremely difficult, let alone 10 to 20 times. There was definitely no hope of clearing the level.

Xiao Shi felt that according to his speculation, as long as none of the three of them died on the official road, the difficulty of the third round would not change.

Xiao Shi told the two of them this idea. When Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong heard this, they also felt that Xiao Shi’s guess was more reasonable. They heaved a sigh of relief. If the difficulty of this round increased by three times as soon as it arrived, they felt that they could basically give up.

Of course, Xiao Shi also said that this was only his guess. He would only know the exact situation after entering this checkpoint. No matter what, they could only continue to head to this checkpoint.

Before entering the checkpoint, Xiao Shi glanced at Guan Zhihong’s frozen left hand and personally helped him resolve this freeze. Since this was a multiple-person checkpoint, he naturally needed them to work together.

Even though these two people were far inferior to Xiao Shi in terms of strength, they both had exclusive items. He believed that it would be of good use.

After the three of them led the guards through the forest, they entered a valley.

This valley was the third checkpoint in this area. The sky in the entire valley was dark. There were parallel wooden stakes inserted into the pitch-black towering cliff. Rotten coffins were placed horizontally on the wooden stakes. As far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of them.

The mud in the valley was dark brown and not a single blade of grass grew. When the sunlight shone into the valley, one could not feel any temperature. The light was pale.

They had yet to step in when Xiao Shi and the other two had already sensed that extremely dense sinister aura. Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes at this. He knew that every checkpoint here represented a previous era. The scene in this checkpoint clearly originated from a certain era in the Tianwu Continent. “Could it be that this era is related to corpses and souls?” Xiao Shi had a guess. With his own experience, Xiao Shi knew that the Tianwu Continent had different power systems in different eras. If this checkpoint was related to the soul, Xiao Shi felt that he still had an advantage. After all, he had many methods to deal with souls.

Xiao Shi led the way into the valley. Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong followed closely behind Xiao Shi and entered together. The moment they stepped into the valley, they felt a bone-piercing coldness.

This chill and the coldness of the Ice Domain were two completely different types of cold. The coldness here was mostly due to the lack of life force. It was like a huge cemetery that had not seen life for many years.

Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong were tense as they looked around warily. The moment Xiao Shi entered, he had already spread his spiritual sense. However, his spiritual sense did not sense anything abnormal here. He did not find any soul bodies either. The entire valley was silent.

“Without a soul body, the danger here might be those coffins.” Zhou Hong stared at the many coffins on the cliff.

Xiao Shi nodded. He also discovered that the coffins on the cliff were not ordinary coffins. Even with his spiritual sense, he could not see through the coffins and see what was inside. From the distribution of these coffins, it was in two straight lines on the left and right, covering the entire valley.

When the three of them began to move forward, a strong cold wind suddenly blew in the valley, causing the guards to tremble. Under this cold wind, the coffin closest to them suddenly trembled. It seemed that the effect of this cold wind was to awaken the existence in the coffin.

As the coffin’s trembling intensified, there was a bang. The entire coffin lid exploded. A figure flew out of the coffin and turned into a white-haired old man. The old man was burly and strong. His white hair was tied into a ponytail, and his eyebrows were thick and his eyes were sharp. There were livor mortis spots on his pale and bloodless face. His eyes were pitch-black, but his pupils were scarlet and bloodshot.

“A corpse?” Xiao Shi frowned slightly. He could clearly sense that the old man who flew out of the coffin was a lifeless corpse. Moreover, there was no soul body in the corpse!

Which meant, this corpse was not controlled by any soul. But it could move. This was very strange! Normally, to control a corpse, one had to use soul power. Just like the two clones, Wang Xiao and Chai Wenshen, that Xiao Shi had created back then. He formed two clones by sending a portion of his soul into the corpse.

However, there was not a trace of soul power on this corpse. It was just a pure corpse. Yet this corpse could move freely like a living person.

Whoosh!

When this corpse flew out of the coffin, its scarlet pupils locked onto Xiao Shi and the other two. His knees bent slightly. As he sank into the ground with a bang, he shot towards Xiao Shi and the other two like a super-large cannonball.

Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong’s pupils constricted. They exclaimed at the same time. “Body cultivator!!” They instantly realized that this corpse was a body cultivator when it was alive.

Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He looked more carefully than they did. “That’s not right. He’s not a body cultivator.” His figure flashed and he instantly rushed out. It collided with the charging corpse like two meteorites, causing a huge explosion.

Boom!!

Xiao Shi and the corpse were sent flying back at the same time. He landed heavily on the ground. It smashed two deep pits in the ground. Xiao Shi’s entire chest caved in under the impact. The bones in his chest shattered, but his powerful healing ability allowed his injuries to recover at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, his sunken chest had already recovered. On the other side, a fist mark appeared on the entire chest of the corpse. The fist mark pierced through his body. However, he also had a powerful recovery. Flesh and blood grew rapidly. It quickly filled the hole in his chest.

Xiao Shi stared at the corpse. His expression was solemn. Through the collision between them, he could already clearly sense that the strength of this corpse had already reached the peak of the Martial Demon Realm!

The strength and hardness of its body were also extremely shocking. It gave Xiao Shi the feeling of facing a demon avatar. The demon avatar’s body originated from the Evil. Now, Xiao Shi felt that the corpse in front of him was like a humanoid soldier like the Evil. Every part of its body was comparable to a divine weapon and had astonishingly powerful lethality.

This strength did not come from Body Tempering. As a Body Tempering cultivator, Xiao Shi could clearly sense the strength of the other party’s body. It was completely different from the body formed by Body Tempering.

After all, at a certain stage of Body Tempering, a bloodline would form. There was no bloodline on this corpse.

A cold wind blew in the valley again. Then, the two coffins on the cliff trembled at the same time. Following that, two more corpses flew out from the two coffins.

“If every corpse here is comparable to a peak Martial Demon Realm, it will be troublesome!”

Xiao Shi glanced at the many coffins on the cliff.. There were hundreds of coffins here!
