Li Yuan immediately understood that he had to pass at least the first two layers of the triple trial.
Only two seconds later.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a violent wind arose in the plaza over 200 meters in diameter, sweeping along countless grains of sand. Following closely, Li Yuan watched with his own eyes as the sand began to coalesce… eventually forming a figure clad in earthy yellow combat armor, holding a long spear. He was quite dazzling, resembling a war god.
His eyes were the only feature of blood-red color, staring intently at Li Yuan.
“[Target Life Level is 25, no life features detected, killing will not yield Spiritual Nature nutrients]” Li Yuan employed Divine Palace Inquiry straight away.
The results of the inquiry instantly reminded Li Yuan of the numerous black exotic beasts he had encountered at the bottom of the canyon.
Linked in sequence!
“What kind of technique is this?” Li Yuan marveled internally, the methods of the World within Worlds surpassed his imagination.
What was the assessment? To kill the opponent?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Even more ferocious winds lifted, stirring the sand on the ground, following which an even greater number of earthy yellow figures emerged densely packed around Li Yuan.
“Turning sand into humans?” Li Yuan felt increasingly shocked as he immediately employed Divine Palace Inquiry once more.
All of them were Level 25.
“Thirty-six?” With a sweep of his gaze, Li Yuan confirmed all the earthy yellow warlike figures.
“Kill!” The first earthy yellow figure that appeared let out a low roar.
The language he roared was not the “Seven Stars Language” but Li Yuan could sense the meaning he wished to convey.
“Kill!”
“Kill!” The thirty-six earthy yellow figures roared in anger, erupting simultaneously, converging from all sides towards Li Yuan at the center.
Boom!
Li Yuan’s hand flashed with the Black Chen Spear, followed by a covering of the Origin Power Battle Suit over his entire body, a faint earthy yellow glow emerging from the garment, turning him into the spitting image of a war god.
By now, how could Li Yuan not understand? This part of the trial probably required him to defeat all thirty-six gatekeepers, or perhaps even to kill them.
Thirty-six Level 25 warriors?
“I really want to see how tough this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance’s trial can be,” Li Yuan said, darting forward, his figure passing through several gatekeepers like a gust of wind.
He burst out of the encirclement.
“Whoosh!” The instant he broke free from the encirclement, his long spear in hand thrust forward with a howling sound, the terrifying force stabbing out, hammering into the head of one of the gatekeepers.
Boom~
It was as if he had struck a giant sandbag, the gatekeeper’s head exploding under the force of Li Yuan’s thrust.
But he did not fall.
Rustling~ Countless scattering grains of sand quickly flowed back and reformed the gatekeeper’s head!
“Ha!”
“Boom!” The other gatekeepers were already rushing towards him, their long spears howling with fierce might.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!” Li Yuan wielded his spear, fending off the blows one after the other with ease given his strength.
But Li Yuan was feeling a sense of urgency.
“Why can’t they be killed? The black exotic beasts I encountered in the canyon, though also lacking life features, could die if hit in the vitals. Why are these gatekeepers different?” Li Yuan struggled to keep calm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The spear light was dazzling; Li Yuan easily pierced through the bodies of the gatekeepers, causing their heads to shatter, chests to rip open, or arms to break… but no matter what he did, even if their bodies completely exploded, they would recover quickly.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!” The number of gatekeepers was formidable, as many as 36. Even though a few of them were temporarily incapacitated by Li Yuan’s attacks, their places were quickly taken by others.
Despite the limited space, there were always at least ten gatekeepers able to attack Li Yuan at any one time.
“Dodge?” Li Yuan gritted his teeth.
The plaza was only so big, a mere two hundred meters in diameter. With the Burst Speed of a Level 25 Prime Warrior, one can dash from one end to the other in a single bound.
“All or nothing.” Li Yuan’s eyes grew cold; he had no path of retreat.
According to the message he received earlier, should the trial end in failure, death was certain.
“Puff!”
“Pfft!” The Black Chen Spear in Li Yuan’s hands erupted with terrifying power, the spear light shining like stars, dazzling and flowing, converging like a river, easily blocking the assaults of the gatekeepers.
True Intent special move—Galaxy Spiral!
In terms of skills and strength, Li Yuan far surpassed these gatekeepers.
Especially with the operation of his Perfect Star Veins within and the vague connection with the Earth Vein, the might of Li Yuan’s Spear Technique surged greatly.
“Thump~” As the spear light collided with the weapon of one of the gatekeepers, the terrifying force transmitted instantly caused cracks to appear on both of the gatekeeper’s arms.
The disparity in strength was astonishing.
The skills displayed by these gatekeepers were only at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level… it was only their astonishing number and their Undying Bodies that forced Li Yuan to be on the defensive just to protect himself.
Time passed.
One after another, gatekeepers were knocked down only to rise again, as Li Yuan fought with all his might, his Origin Power also being furiously consumed… With the Sea of Source Energy newly formed, the direct amplification of Origin Power on strength for a Prime Warrior was not significant.
However, Origin Power can continuously eliminate the weariness of muscles and bones and merge with flesh to immensely boost defense… A Prime Warrior who exhausted his Origin Power would see their combat prowess decline by at least half.
“What should I do?”
“Even after being killed over and over, their strength doesn’t diminish.” Li Yuan tried numerous methods, growing more anxious by the moment.
Originally, Li Yuan believed that with each attack, the strength of these gatekeepers would wane until they were completely dead.
But that was not the case.
A weak spot? They were made of sand, without any weaknesses.
“Kill!”
The thirty-six gatekeepers, overwhelming like a deluge, besieged Li Yuan. They were like puppets… with only the instinct to fight and kill.
