The Final Death Ordeal

On the light screen, Golden Claw God Luo Feng consistently evaded the rock hands in mid-air, still toying with the dark red rock giant. In the beginning, he even managed to avoid being touched by the countless streaks of light raining down.

However...

As the ancient secret pattern map continued its descent, the distance grew shorter! This made it increasingly difficult for Luo Feng, and he was occasionally struck.

“Annihilation, Divine Power Burn First Tier!” Luo Feng finally couldn't hold back.

“Haha… this Warrior Yinhe finally used the Divine Power secret technique.”

“He truly has patience, enduring until now to use the Divine Power secret technique.”

“As a special legion warrior, a basic inheritance includes a Divine Power Burn secret technique, so he should naturally know it.” The four commanders smiled as they watched the scene on the screen.

Once the Divine Power secret technique was activated, Luo Feng’s attack, defense, speed, dodging, and all other aspects immediately surged by a tier.

His previous struggle and discomfiture instantly vanished, replaced by ease.

In mid-air… simultaneously dealing with the rock hands, the dark red rock giant, and countless streaks of light. It was effortless!

Several more minutes passed.

The ancient secret pattern map descended lower and lower, even gradually encroaching upon Luo Feng's flight path, forcing him to descend. He couldn't stick close to the ancient secret pattern map; if he did… he wouldn't be able to dodge the ‘streaks of light’ at all.

“This Warrior Yinhe, the second level poses no threat to him.”

“Indeed, although the final moments of this second level might cause him some trouble, his divine body has barely been consumed so far, so it’s no issue.”

The commanders remarked one after another.

…

In one of the nine small worlds on Wuqilou’s second level.

“Still not over?”

The dark red armored youth was frantically fleeing. The ancient secret pattern map had descended to merely a million kilometers above the ground. Such a low altitude meant he couldn't fly high. The rock hands emerging from the ground fissures could easily envelop the dark red armored youth as soon as they appeared.

“Bang bang bang~~~” At such close range, streaks of light continuously bombarded him. The armored youth ignored them entirely, as at this point, there was no possibility of dodging. His entire focus was on the ground below.

“Whoosh!”

As a rock hand emerged, the armored youth immediately dodged.

“No!” The armored youth desperately tried to evade, but found his speed insufficient. The million-kilometer-wide hand, only partially emerging from the ground fissure, seized him.

“My divine body has suffered too much loss, my strength has decreased too much, I can’t even fully dodge anymore,” the armored youth thought with despair, while also desperately manipulating his weapon to attack the rock hand from within.

“Roar~~~” The dark red rock giant instantly charged up, wildly slapping the armored youth again and again.

He was struck over twenty times in an instant!

Whoosh!

He finally escaped from the rock hand, whistling away, but streaks of light continuously assailed him from high above.

“I can’t go on…” The armored youth felt his divine body weakening further, its decay accelerating.

“Thump!”

A rock hand from the ground fissure had just emerged, but before it could grasp the armored youth, he was directly annihilated by a streak of light, leaving only his combat armor, mechanical-type treasures, and other items to fall.

Another warrior perished!

…

About half a minute after the armored youth perished.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

The small worlds of the three surviving warriors from the first five instantly dissipated. The rock giants also transformed into crimson liquid, flowing into the ground fissures, and everything vanished.

The three surviving warriors were utterly bewildered.

“Ha, I’m still alive, I’m still alive!”

“I had given up all hope.”

“It’s over, haha, it’s finally over.”

“Just a moment more, and I would have been finished, it would have been over.” The three surviving warriors cried and laughed. They had truly suffered immensely, barely holding on. By the end, even the strongest among the three had less than a tenth of their initial strength! The weakest… had less than a thousandth of their previous strength. Just a little longer, and they would have perished!

They had barely survived.

The three warriors quickly sobered up from their joy and excitement.

“What do we do? Our divine bodies are so weak now, our strength so fragile! This is only Wuqilou’s second level, next are the third, fourth, fifth levels… how can we survive?”

“Yes, our strength is already this weak.”

The three warriors were filled with worry.

“If we’re weak, other warriors are also weak! Then it’s fair… perhaps Wuqilou will even provide treasures to restore our divine bodies.”

“What do you mean ‘other warriors are also weak’? Look, that Python River Army warrior is still suppressing the dark red rock giant.” As one warrior pointed into the distance, the other two also looked.

Indeed, among Luo Feng’s batch of five warriors.

Especially Luo Feng.

His strength remained at its peak even now, particularly after he activated Divine Power Burn First Tier, he could even suppress the dark red rock giant. He frequently used the dark red rock giant as a ‘shield,’ not only to block streaks of light but even the rock hands.

“He’s actually this strong!”

The three surviving warriors sighed in awe.

Suddenly—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three pillars of light suddenly descended, enveloping the three surviving warriors, and they instantly vanished.

“Going to Wuqilou’s third level?” Luo Feng glanced over. “Two of their previous batch of five died, and the other three’s strength had dwindled to an extremely low point. I estimate our batch will be similar.”

…

As the ancient secret pattern map continued to descend, the situation for Luo Feng’s batch of warriors grew increasingly dire, and finally, a warrior perished!

A moment later, it ended.

Luo Feng’s batch also had three surviving warriors.

“We survived.”

“Haha, we survived.” The other two warriors were ecstatic, but upon seeing Luo Feng, they instinctively moved far away.

Luo Feng glanced at them, his gaze falling on the tall, thin Xuzhong, and he chuckled softly: “Good luck, still alive.”

Xuzhong’s heart pounded, filled with regret. He understood that this terrifying Warrior Yinhe held a grudge.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three pillars of light descended, enveloping the three of them, and they instantly teleported away.

…

Wuqilou’s third level was a vast grassland.

As Luo Feng and the other two figures appeared.

“The fourth batch has arrived.”

“Both the fourth and third batches had three survivors.”

Voices drifted over.

Upon appearing, Luo Feng swept his gaze across the distant surroundings. He saw scattered figures in the distance, some warriors, some exotic beasts, quite numerous. Looking across the vast grassland, including himself, there were a total of 11 warriors.

“11 warriors?” Luo Feng mused. “The third and fourth batches combined have six survivors, so the other five warriors must be from the first and second batches.”

“Wuqilou’s third level actually gathers all the warriors?” Luo Feng thought.

Luo Feng carefully observed each warrior around him.

Immediately—

The survivors from the third and fourth batches turned pale with fright, each instantly teleporting far away, then continuously sealing the spatial fluctuations in the surrounding vast area.

“Hmm?”

“This…”

The surviving warriors from the first and second batches were all bewildered. They weren't fools; they could see that a single glance from that Python River Army warrior had scared the third and fourth batch warriors into hiding far away, clearly indicating a vast difference in strength.

“Let’s also keep our distance.”

“If the third and fourth batch warriors are all like this, then this Python River Army warrior must be incredibly terrifying.”

Although the first and second batch warriors didn't know how terrifying Luo Feng was, out of caution, they each teleported far away and then sealed the surrounding space.

This scene made Luo Feng shake his head and smile.

…

Time flowed, day after day.

By the sixth day, another batch of warriors arrived, two survivors in total. A moment later, the sixth batch of warriors also arrived, three survivors in total.

…

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months passed.

On the grassland of Wuqilou’s third level, a total of 38 warriors had gathered. Some newly arrived warriors, who knew some of the warriors from the first four batches and had some acquaintance with them, also learned of the Python River Army warrior’s terrifying nature, and many likewise avoided him from afar. Yet, some confident ones did not hide.

“A tribal warrior, and you’re all this scared?” A gigantic, winding plant life form, covered in vibrant flowers, with eyes and a mouth on its largest flower, said disdainfully, “Before I joined the army, I killed tens of thousands of tribal warriors.” Saying this, the plant life form provocatively looked at Luo Feng.

“Your divine body is nearly a hundred million kilometers tall; with such a massive divine body, we wouldn’t be afraid either,” some warriors in the distance said.

Amidst the surrounding provocations and fear.

Luo Feng ignored them all.

He simply stood there.

Finally—

With the arrival of two more warriors, bringing the total to 40, the grassland world of Wuqilou’s third level finally stirred.

“Rumble~~~” A giant vortex, like ripples on a water surface, suddenly appeared above the grassland.

The forty surviving warriors all looked up at the sky.

Hum~~~~

Space-time vibrated like ripples. Regardless of where they were on the grassland, Luo Feng and the forty warriors were instantly teleported directly beneath the giant vortex.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

The vortex high in the sky suddenly sent down streaks of light screens.

These directly enveloped a vast area of the grassland, approximately a billion kilometers in diameter, completely isolating this billion-kilometer-diameter area from the outside. The vortex above also reached a diameter of a billion kilometers.

Whoosh~~~

In the center of the water-like vortex high in the sky, a giant eye suddenly appeared. This massive eye looked down, instantly making everyone below, including Luo Feng, feel as if their souls had frozen.

“Wuqilou!” An ancient voice echoed in every warrior’s mind, “The first three levels carry life-and-death danger.”

“As long as you survive the first three levels, there will be no more death crisis.”

“From the fourth level onwards, there will even be various inheritances, rewards, and so on… The higher you ascend, the greater the benefits you will receive.” The ancient voice said, “Of course, you must survive this third level.”
