168: Trial Realm (Part 7)

This rule was undoubtedly aimed at Gu Yuchuan. After all, everyone knew that the title of War God would account for a significant portion of the final ranking. If you wanted to achieve a good rank, seizing the War God title was necessary. He believed that the battles Gu Yuchuan would face tomorrow would be numerous.

However, he wasn't afraid in the slightest. He would kill as many as came. He believed that only the remaining four Cultivators who had acquired the Golden Toad today could truly contend with him. Other Cultivators, due to the gap in equipment, no longer had the ability to fight him. He needed to seize this current advantage to gain more Points.

Having understood this, he began resting properly. He needed to maintain a better state to cope better with the difficulties he would encounter tomorrow.

At midnight, there was no Lunar Star in the Secret Realm. Nothing could be seen in the dark night; only the Safe Zone had a faint light. Suddenly, he felt a bright coordinate appear on his map, and a voice sounded in his ear.

“Third Brother, if you have the strength, come here and save me.”

He could tell this was a Voice Transmission from his Second Brother. He didn't know what kind of item the other party used, but since they were asking for help, he couldn't ignore it. Putting aside their relationship, just considering future benefits, the Ink Scale Demon General's Bloodline and Aptitude were unparalleled, ensuring he would not be a weakling in the future.

However, he needed to gauge whether he could withstand the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade outside. He immediately rushed out. The surrounding Demon Generals were stunned, wondering what he was doing.

As soon as he stepped out, countless Vicious Ghosts flew toward him. Most were at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. The Ghostly Creatures were densely packed, making him feel a little apprehensive. Human strength is finite, and fighting like this was indeed dangerous. No wonder the rules warned that the Wilderness at night was extremely hazardous.

But Gu Yuchuan could handle it, and this was once again thanks to the Golden Light Incantation. What was the Golden Light Incantation? An Earthly Fiend Divine Ability, a direct lineage of the Daoist Direct Lineage, specifically designed for defending against Evil Spirits. Coincidentally, these Ghostly Creatures fell within the scope of Evil Spirits. Ghostly Creatures below the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment were automatically repelled by the Golden Light Incantation without him needing to mobilize his Magical Power. Only Ghostly Creatures at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment and Perfection required some expenditure of Magical Power, but they were few and far between.

He determined that if the intensity remained like this, he could survive in the Wilderness at night for a period. In that case, he should go and save his Elder Brother.

He pulled out his Long Spear and launched a Water Tornado. He then flew onto the Water Tornado. The Golden Light Incantation and the Water Tornado merged, and he piloted the Water Tornado as he flew into the distance.

At this time, near another Safe Zone, the Ink Scale Demon General was cornered in the Wilderness by two Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Countless Ghostly Creatures were still attacking their surroundings, but the Ink Scale Demon General held a purple Shield that protected him, keeping him safe for the moment.

The Demon Generals blocking him were a couple, the Crimson Mandarin Duck and the Azure Mandarin Duck. The crimson one was male, and the azure one was female. The female spoke with an indifferent expression.

“How about this? We, husband and wife, will give you a way out. As long as you hand over those two purple Resources on your person to us, we promise not to attack you.”

The Ink Scale Demon General immediately spat, “Bullshit! Who in the Cloud Sea Marsh doesn't know that you two are the most untrustworthy couple? I won't join forces with you. If I give them to you today, that means I have no way out at all. If you want to waste time fighting me, let's waste time. Even if I'm eliminated, you'll have been here for so long that you won't have any Fighting Strength tomorrow, and you'll soon be eliminated yourselves.”

The Azure Mandarin Duck's face was twisted with anger. Her Husband comforted her, saying, "I'm telling you, you're just a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage who relies on an Opportunity to acquire a few Resources, yet you antagonize us so much. If you provoke us further, we won't let you off even after we leave."

Hearing this, the Ink Scale Demon General became even angrier. “Just based on that sentence, I will report you when we go out! Fox Immortal Lord repeatedly instructed that Grudges from this Trial Secret Realm cannot be carried outside, yet you dare to do this! You just wait. I'll see if you still have the leisure to look for trouble with me then.”

The Azure Mandarin Duck spoke before her Husband could. “Husband, there's no need to talk to him anymore. Just attack. Even if he has a purple Protective Shield, he is still just a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage. We can't drag this out, or these Ghostly Creatures will deplete too much of our Magical Power and condition, making things truly difficult for us tomorrow.”

Their popularity was poor; many people would choose to attack them upon sight. Therefore, they needed to maintain a relatively good condition to continue the subsequent competition.

They exchanged a look. Years of marriage gave them ample tacit understanding; they both knew what the other meant: attack immediately.

The duo's Spells began striking the defense. The Ink Scale Demon General still felt immense pressure; after all, his Cultivation was lower. However, he wasn't afraid. He knew his brother was already on the way.

However, their distance was quite far. Half an hour passed, and Gu Yuchuan had still not arrived, but the Protective Shield was about to be broken. The attitude of the two attackers became even more arrogant.

“Ink Scale Demon General, what if your Aptitude is unparalleled? A Genius who hasn't grown up doesn't count for anything. We, husband and wife, will accept your Opportunity.”

Finally, the Protective Shield broke. The Ink Scale Demon General was ready to fight desperately. At this critical moment, a massive Water Tornado arrived from afar.

“Impudence! What kind of trash dares to kill This Lord's Second Brother? Prepare to die.”

They hadn't clearly seen who the newcomer was, but several drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water immediately struck them. They could only begin defending. Having cultivated together for many years, they already possessed their own Combined Attack Technique, which easily neutralized the attack, but their expressions were extremely grim.

Against the dark night, the Water Tornado shone with a golden light. Gu Yuchuan stood atop the Water Tornado, like a true Deity, looking down upon the mortal world. He gazed down at them from above, as if they were two ants.

“You could have safely continued the trial, yet you foolishly chose to attack my Second Brother. In that case, you have only one outcome: ending this Selection Process. Are you ready to die?”

At this moment, they also clearly saw Gu Yuchuan's Cultivation—he was merely a Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. However, the flashing words “War God” carried significant weight.

This time, the Crimson Mandarin Duck spoke, "A mere Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, even if he is the War God, what can he do? Today, we'll show you how formidable we are as a couple."
