Chapter 2241
“No! There’s something wrong with this sound. Why do I feel like it’s trying to kill me?”

“What is happening? Why can I still hear it even though I’ve covered my ears?!”

Every ring would cause their blood circulation to go erratic. Quite a few of them felt their blood surging with the sound of the bells, and some of them even started to vomit blood.

Jackie furrowed his eyebrows, circulating his true energy to block the attacks brought forward by the sound. The Divine warriors in front of him had yet to move and were merely looking at him with disdain.

Just as Jackie wondered what else there would be other than the bells, his vision flashed as he arrived at a special place.

The scene had changed too quickly for him to formulate any guesses. He wondered if he was in an illusion again, but discounted that possibility after some thought. If it were an illusion, the scene would not have changed so clearly.

Everything happened too abruptly while illusions were supposed to blur the lines between reality and illusion. Yet, Jackie could clearly feel that his mind was still in a clear state.

They were in a bloodied landscape. The entire space was covered in the color red. Even the crescent moon in the sky was red. The whole area was filled with the aura of death as if an apocalyptic battle had happened not too long ago.

An unknown number of people had died, which was why the place felt grim. Jackie could not help but take a deep breath, putting himself on full alert.

Since it was the third challenge, the sudden change In scenery was definitely not meant for sightseeing. Even though he could still not be completely certain I fit was reality or fantasy, what happened still needed to be dealt with.

Just as his thoughts began to wander, he heard a familiar wizened voice. It was the same voice that read out the rules at the Divine Void Slope.

“Find the Divine warriors in this world! Those who manage to will continue climbing the Divine Void Slope. If you fail, then you fail to pass!”

After those words, the surroundings once again entered a strange silence, and the wizened voice spoke no more. Jackie frowned. The key to passing was not to eliminate the Divine warrior but to find one in this strange and foreign world.

At that moment, Jackie was still confused. He did not know if he had truly arrived at that world, or if everything was merely happening in his mind. However, he was no longer interested in thinking about that.

Since the wizened voice had announced the rules, then he could no longer waste any more time. He sighed as he forced himself to calm down, walking forward step by step.

The blood-red world was a massive plain. Looking up, he could not see the end with just his eyes. The ground was completely barren. Other than a few withered trees, he could see nothing else.

The place seemed abandoned, a place that no longer saw the light of day. Jackie carefully advanced, staying on constant alert for any sudden threat.

In truth, he did not know where he needed to go either, because the world was truly far too large. Looking around, there was nothing other than withered trees, so where was he supposed to find the Divine warrior?

Time slowly ticked away. He completely lost track of time. His surroundings never seemed to change causing Jackie to get nervous, and his breath started to get anxious.

Right at that moment, a noise could be heard in the distance. Jackie suddenly stood up straight, forming seals in his hands, and fifteen Soul Swords formed in his palms!

Chapter 2242
At that intense anxious moment, the sound of howling winds filled his ears. Anyone would be able to figure out that something was going to happen.

Jackie gathered his spirits, focusing all his attention around him. The moment anything strange happened, he would react immediately.

The wind grew stronger, carrying the dust on the ground, obscuring Jackie’s sight. Jackie’s clothes were rustling in the wind.

The wind did not only obscure his sight, it also covered up any sounds around him. Jackie had suddenly plunged into a realm devoid of his senses. He let out a long breath, it would not do for that to continue!

Another gust of wind blew past, causing Jackie to lose his balance and his body nearly be blown away by the howling wind.

What was happening?! He did not know how long the wind would last, or how much danger it would bring. At that moment, his mind was in disarray.

Just as he was about to panic, the wind suddenly. Stopped. The sudden stop caused Jackie to lose his bearings for a moment.

Without the wind, the dust slowly settled, and everything returned to the quietness from before. Yet, once his vision cleared, Jackie could not stop his heart from pounding

Less than fifty meters away from him, stood a group of people lined up with their heads down. All of them were wearing armor and had messy hair. Their hands held onto their weapons tightly.

Jackie took a rough glance. There were roughly over a hundred people there.

With a crack that sounded like brittle bone, the group raised their lowered heads together. At that moment, Jackie completely saw what they looked like.

All of them had green skin, and their faces had bloodred runes etched on them. The red eyes were full of violence. After they raised their heads, they stared firmly at Jackie.

Killing intent and violence gathered, they were like a group of killing machines. They were actually zombies with no sentience!

A familiar figure stood fifty feet behind the zombies. There were spots of white light around the man as the man stood still, expressionless.

He was the Divine Warrior that Jackie was supposed to find. Jackie let out a long sigh, finally understanding how he needed to pass this stage. He needed to kill the group of zombies in front of him that numbered over a hundred to get close to the Divine warrior.

Before, Jackie’s heart had been pounding, wondering how he could pass the stage. Now that it was clear, Jackie did not relax one bit. The pressure in his heart felt heavier and heavier as if a few large stones had been thrown on it.

It was too difficult!

Over a hundred zombies. Each of them was at the initial stage of the innate level. If they rushed over, he was not certain if he could get past. After all, the numbers were too great, it was practically a swarm of zombies!

When Jackie stood on the Divine Void Slope, he was never certain if he could obtain any reward. He told himself he would do his best. Even if he came back with no rewards, he would not give up halfway. If he was going to lose, he would lose in the end!

Yet, it was already so difficult facing the third Divine warrior. He could not imagine how difficult the challenges would end up being when he faced the fourth and fifth Divine warriors.

Chapter 2243
It was impossible to even think about. This was an impossible task to complete!

Those thoughts were not just in Jackie’s mind. The same scene appeared in front of everyone who was challenging the third Divine warrior.

Each and everyone in the third stage was transported into their own isolated spaces. Each isolated space had the exact same scene. Over a hundred zombies stood in front of them, emitting the same vicious aura from their bodies!

Griffin looked at the zombies in front of him and subconsciously gulped. The sword he held tightly in his hand shook as he trembled slightly.

“How could this… Am I supposed to kill all these zombies? How…is this even possible?” Griffin was almost rendered speechless. Facing such a challenge, he could not hold back from voicing out his fears.

Griffin’s brother, Howard, had only barely passed the second stage after using all his power and had even gotten injured because of it. Facing so many zombies, he had lost all the courage in his heart!

If they start to fight, he did not even know if he could hold the first wave back. It was too terrifying!

The zombies were all at the initial stage of the innate level. He ranked eighth among the disciples from the Twin Sovereign Pavillion. He was at the tail end of the masters gathered there, so just being able to reach the third stage was already quite a feat for him.

“I surrender!” Howard shouted loudly. He did not know if it would work or not, but he really did not have the courage to face so many zombies, it was too terrifying!

With a whoosh, a ray of light covered Howard’s whole body after Howard admitted defeat. The next second, a familiar place appeared in front of him. He was back at his original spot in the Divine Void Slope.

An orange light hit his body, representing the fact that Howard was already eliminated. He had a sense of helplessness in his heart but felt quite relieved.

Thankfully, it was still possible to surrender. If it had not been possible even if he shouted his throat coarse, then he would have been faced with horrifying attacks. If his cries had been ignored, he might even suffer from heavy injuries or lost his life.
