636: Chapter 633 Reverse Playback

Although he couldn't be certain, Chen De was now quite sure that this was related to the Evil God.

The fellow fighting Xie Feng before him wasn't the Evil God's true body, but rather someone who had been corrupted by the Evil God.

Could that Saint Extreme Realm expert drive a Corrupted One?

How was that possible!

A corrupted person could only be driven by the existence that corrupted them.

As for whether that Saint Extreme Realm expert could be an Evil God himself, the probability was ridiculously low.

After all, not every Evil God was as weak as Chen De.

Except for an outlier like Chen De, even the weakest of the other Evil Gods would be at the Divine Tribulation Realm.

If they wanted to act against them, it would truly be a matter of instant death the moment they showed their faces.

While Xie Feng and the other party were clashing, Chen De continued to investigate carefully.

This Corrupted One didn't seem to be in a state of being intentionally controlled; it was more like he was acting based on instinct.

Therefore, the one before them should be a fellow suppressed by that Saint Extreme Realm expert, only temporarily released.

On the other side, Xie Feng was also fighting with great frustration. In terms of pure combat power, his opponent was only so-so.

Numerically, he was only at the level of an ordinary One-Corpse Quasi-Saint, and his skills and techniques were equally average.

But that recovery power alone was incredibly astonishing.

Any attack Xie Feng used failed to leave even the slightest scar on his body.

Unlike Chen De, although the other three had heard of the Evil God matter long ago, they had never actually seen or come into contact with one.

If they were in Xie Feng's position, they really wouldn't have any means to deal with it for a while.

And the one before them was merely a Corrupted One and was already this troublesome; if it were a true Evil God, such an ability would surely be even more powerful.

If they were to face such an opponent, how desperate and difficult would it be?

Unable to be wounded?

After fighting for a long time without any progress, he naturally gradually figured something out.

Since normal attrition didn't work, he would try a one-off strike.

Finding the right moment, he sent the opponent flying with a sword strike, then retreated sharply to create a large distance.

After stabilizing himself, Xie Feng held his sword defensively and examined the battle situation once more.

The Corrupted One's state was very similar to the so-called 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

But there were no unsolvable divine abilities in this world.

Rebirth from a Drop of Blood at least required a drop of blood to regenerate.

So, to deal with this guy, would it work if he just hacked him into nothingness with a single sword strike?

Since stalling was getting him nowhere, he might as well give it a try!

Seeing the opponent attack him again, Xie Feng likewise swung his sword in a counterattack.

Ultimate Nine Swords, Fourth Sword—Myriad Transformation!

Ultimate Nine Swords, Fifth Sword—Void Convergence!

He unleashed two swords at once, instantly destroying half of the Corrupted One's body.

At the remaining half of the body, countless black tentacles were now crawling and flailing wildly.

They were desperately repairing the mangled remains, and in just an instant, most of it had already been restored.

The results Xie Feng had just achieved now had almost no trace left.

Any opponent seeing this level of recovery ability would find it enough to be called despair.

But Xie Feng's eyes lit up upon seeing this scene.

It's effective!

He wasn't afraid of the effect being small, but of there being no effect at all.

Ultimately, it was just that the power of those two sword strikes wasn't enough.

But it didn't matter; he still had another sword strike.

Then, without hesitation, he slashed out with the sixth sword, and a terrifying sword qi frantically washed over the mangled remains.

Before the eyes of the five, the fellow who had been entangled with Xie Feng for so long had completely evaporated.

Facing the results he achieved, Xie Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if this sword strike still didn't work, he would have had to use the final sword.

After destroying the opponent, the mark of a bell appeared on Xie Feng's forehead.

The image of this bell was something those present knew all too well; or rather, anyone from the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring knew it well.

It was exactly the appearance of that Saint-grade innate spiritual treasure—the sacred ring bell.

Is this the proof of passing the trial?

Seeing Xie Feng finish off his opponent, the remaining four followed his previous example and stepped forward.

Simultaneously, four figures slowly emerged on the opposite side, walking toward them in the same manner.

Damn, Xie Feng is so powerful and he still struggled that much, and now we have to take one on each?

Since things had come to this, they could only bite the bullet and go for it.

Xuan Ni was still the first to act, striking with his halberd, and then he immediately realized something.

His opponent was exactly the type he could suppress and beat.

Not just him, but Ci Bing and Li Xi also discovered this after clashing.

These Corrupted Ones used to test them were released according to their respective strengths.

What made Chen De breathe a sigh of relief was that his opponent was fortunately based on Jian Fan's strength standards.

The four of them were all roughly the same, at a level above the Ninth Transformation but not yet reaching Quasi-Saint.

Otherwise, if it were based on his true strength, there would really be no way for him to maintain his current facade.

After a bout of fighting, the four also successively finished off their opponents, and the corresponding mark appeared on their foreheads.

This trial didn't seem to have much difficulty; it simply wanted them to experience combat against those corrupted by the Evil God.

It was completely based on their respective strengths; as long as their mindset and tactics were up to par, passing was a sure thing.

After all five had finished, the marks on their foreheads shone brightly, and the surrounding scene became distorted and blurred once more.

Their bodies also seemed to lose control at this moment, as the spiritual treasures they had put down were raised again.

The Corrupted Ones they had destroyed reverted back exactly as they had disappeared, and the attacks receded, turning back into the immortal power within their bodies.

Then the four Corrupted Ones began to move backward, and Chen De and the other three followed suit.

The one that had just been killed by Xie Feng also reappeared.

Starting from the state of being killed, it gradually restored itself; everything was like a rewind.

Yes, they were still on this Ancient Battlefield; the location had not changed at all.

As the scene here continued to play in reverse, the five saw how they had gone from entering to retreating out.

Once they had all left this place, the perspective shifted from first-person to third-person.

From a certain viewpoint within this inheritance space, they looked down upon everything here.

After a long time, the scene within the Ancient Battlefield didn't undergo any further changes.

Is it over... Just then, they saw a figure walking in backward, and looking at his appearance, it was precisely their Alliance Leader, Xie Feng.

However, the current Xie Feng's aura was nowhere near as powerful as it was now.

He was only at the early stage of the Ninth Transformation, seemingly from the period when the Nine Swords Sword Sect had just gained a firm foothold.

At present, any one of those here could kill him with a wave of their hand.

Unfortunately, after arriving here, he didn't even enter the Ancient Battlefield before being blocked by some kind of barrier, ultimately having to return empty-handed.

However, from the barrier, he learned the conditions for entering it.
