Chapter 624: Impossible Stage (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

From the difficulty of these checkpoints, it was believed that as long as these Martial Demon Realm cultivators had any brains, they would know that the subsequent checkpoints would be extremely difficult. They would need all of them to work together to clear them.

If they didn’t know anything and killed each other the moment they arrived was undoubtedly a stupid action. Moreover, once someone died, the difficulty of the checkpoint would increase. He doesn’t think anyone would do that. However, if there were some benefits that could only be enjoyed by one person after entering the checkpoint, it was very likely to cause a massacre.

Soon, they arrived at the intersection point that led to the next checkpoint. There were a total of four official roads intersecting here.

“In other words, this checkpoint will gather almost half of the people who enter this special area.”

According to the situation in the first three stages, if everyone survived the stages, there would be a total of 24 Martial Demon Realm experts participating in this stage. And this time, there were less than 50 Martial Demon Realm cultivators who had entered this special area. It could be said that half of the people in this checkpoint had already gathered.

There were definitely not so many Martial Demon Realm cultivators who could survive to this stage. When Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong arrived at this intersection, they realized that they were not the first to arrive.

Before them, three people had already arrived here before them. From the positions of the three of them, they seemed to come from the same official road and stood relatively close to each other. Behind them, apart from the number of guards, there were also three corpses. However, they were all Iron Refined Corpses.

Clearly, no one among the three of them could successfully refine the Red Refined Corpse.

Other than that, Xiao Shi also discovered that the three of them were not Martial Demon Realm experts of the Great Wu Empire, but Martial Demon Realm experts from the three great domains.

Therefore, the moment the two parties met, the three Martial Demon Realm experts had already tensed up. They were filled with vigilance as they stared coldly at Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong. However, they did not lose their rationality and directly attacked. Instead, they adopted a defensive posture.

This was to prevent Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong from attacking them.

Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong were also very wary of these three Martial Demon Realm experts. They stood far away from them. A safe distance was maintained between the two sides. They did not talk to each other.

Ten minutes later, another group of people rushed over from the third official road. There were also three people. However, they were three people from the Great Wu Empire. This immediately made the three Martial Demon Realm cultivators from the three great domains even more vigilant. They looked like they were prepared to fight the enemy at any time.

Behind these three Martial Demon Realm experts were a total of four Iron Refined Corpses. This meant that there were a total of four people in the third round previously, but in the end, only three of them passed this round alive.

When they arrived, their gazes converged on the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the three great domains.

One of the men with a scar on his face licked his lips bloodthirsty. His eyes were filled with powerful killing intent, but in the end, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart for the sake of the overall situation.The source of thɪs content is ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

Not long after the three Martial Demon Realm experts arrived, the last person on the official road also arrived. Compared to the previous official roads, the last official road clearly had the most people. There were a total of four people.

They were also from the Great Wu Empire. The leader of the four was the sword cultivator appointed by the Prince to let everyone assist him. This person had an arrogant temperament. He had a short ponytail and handsome facial features. On his back was a pair of long swords that were wrapped in black and white cloth.

What shocked everyone the most was that behind this person was an extraordinary corpse. It was a Red Refined Corpse. Even Xiao Shi’s heart trembled when he saw this scene. He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to control the Red Refined Corpse. He did not believe that this person had a powerful body that could withstand the impact of the corpse power.

“He must have used some special method to control this Red Refined Corpse.” Xiao Shi was deep in thought.

As the person personally chosen by the prince, apart from leaving taboos on many Martial Demon Realm cultivators and getting them to assist this person with all their might, the prince had clearly prepared some powerful methods for this person before entering this special area.

After all, the prince had placed all his hopes on this person. Naturally, he would do his best to help.

After Chu Tong arrived, he quickly looked around at everyone. His gaze focused on the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the three great domains. “Listen, from now on, the three of you must listen to all my mobilization arrangements. If you dare to disobey at all, 1 will kill the three of you on the spot!” He said domineeringly.

When the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the three great domains heard this, Veins bulged on their foreheads. It was obvious that they were very angry at the other party’s domineering attitude.

However, in the current situation, they knew that if they did not agree, the other party would definitely attack immediately. Currently, the Great Wu Empire had more people than them. In addition, this person had controlled the Red Refined Corpse. This was definitely not something they could resist. Even if they were extremely unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and agree.

Chu Tong nodded in satisfaction. He began to make arrangements for his next actions. It was as if with his arrival, he had naturally become the leader here. Be it the Martial Demon Realms from the three great domains, or Xiao Shi and the others of the Great Wu Empire, they had to listen to his orders and arrangements.

The martial artists of the Great Wu Empire had no choice but to assist because of the taboo on their bodies. As for the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the three domains, they had no choice but to listen because of the difference in strength and numbers.

Under Chu Tong’s orders and arrangements, they began to enter the fourth checkpoint. The fourth checkpoint was a lush primitive forest. However, the trees growing here were thicker and taller than ordinary trees. The ground was filled with dead branches and rotten leaves.

The most strange thing was the sky of this checkpoint. The entire sky was blue, but in this blue sky, there were nine stars of different colors and forms. Every star gave everyone an extremely powerful feeling.

Other than that, in front of them stood a notice board. The signboard had relevant information about this primitive forest.

[Warning!]

[This is the sacred tree’s domain. Anyone who trespasses will be attacked in the sacred tree’s domain.]

“Domain?” Everyone was shocked. Usually, only existences above the Sage realm had a domain. Which meant, this checkpoint was the domain of a Sage! Then what they had to deal with in this checkpoint was very likely a Sage in this domain!

“How… How is this possible?!?!” Some people became anxious. Sages were not existences that Martial Demon Realm cultivators like them could resist. Moreover, he was a Sage in his domain. Even other Sages were not his match when they entered the other party’s domain, let alone Martial Demon Realm cultivators like them.

Xiao Shi frowned at this. From the information he had read from this billboard, this was indeed an impossible checkpoint. Even if he and Chu Tong used the Red Refined Corpse at the same time, it was impossible for them to defeat the Sages in the domain.

This was very unreasonable.

Although Xiao Shi had already expected to face a Sage in the next round, he never thought that he would have to face a Sage in his domain. This was impossible to complete.

“There must be… something wrong!” Xiao Shi felt that no matter how difficult these checkpoints were, it was also impossible to raise it to the point where there was no hope..
