Chapter 2281
Even after this remark, however, the masked man did not stop. He started to walk over to the 823 meter mark. Each step he took felt incredibly resolved and heavy, and it was also filled with the intense flames of anger.

Graham lightly snorted. He was no idiot and knew what the masked man was trying to do. Despite that, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. Since the masked man had made his move, Graham did not dwell on it and started to head to the 823-meter range as well.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the same spot where Jackie was. At that moment, only three were left with the right to continue forward. Graham and the masked man were within everyone’s expectations, but Jackie was definitely an unexpected factor.

The spectators all looked at Jackie with surprise. Jackie raised his eyebrows when he saw the other two finally arrive but did not say anything else.

That time, the masked man said nothing for once. Before, he would always shoot a few words whenever he saw Jackie, and each time, his words would be filled with cold mockery.

He chose to keep his mouth shut this time.

Jackie looked over with some curiosity, and he saw a pair of bloodshot eyes. The masked man looked at him as if he had killed the masked man’s whole family, rendering Jackie speechless.

In the silence, the hoarse was heard again, causing the atmosphere to become tense.

“This is the ninth Divine Warrior. After passing this stage, you can climb to the top!”

With those words, everyone on the Divine Void Slope felt their body stiffen. A formless energy started to wrap around their whole bodies.

The next moment, the space around them started to distort. When they studied their surroundings again, there was a massive change in the scenery. The tall Divine Void Slope had disappeared, and they had arrived at a foreign blood-colored world.

When the energy that surrounded his body disappeared, Jackie looked. It was another world that had been stained red with the color of blood. Compared to the previous world, however, this one contained a little more life.

Looking forward, there were hills and also some withered trees scattered around.

In front of them was a massive mountain, taller than the clouds. It was massive, and Jackie estimated that it was about a hundred miles away from him. It was large, but Jackie could still clearly see the naked mountain, and there was even lava flowing at the peak.

There was the clear plow of fire at the peak, and even dark gray rolls of smoke coming out. Looking at that scene, Jackie immediately thought, ‘Volcano!’ It was definitely a massive volcano.

Jackie walked around the spot and found that there was nothing else around him other than himself Could it be that he would have to kill zombies to pass again?

As he thought about it, the old voice could be heard again, “That active volcano is called Netherworld Mountain. As long as you arrive at the foot of the mountain, you’ll earn the right to continue climbing.”

All they had to do was arrive at the foot of the mountain? Jackie blinked suspiciously. It was quite different from what he had thought.

The old voice continued saying, “All those who climbed the Divine Void Slope have the right to participate in this stage.”

Those words shocked Jackie. Anyone could participate?

Chapter 2282
“There is a myriad of fiends in the blood world. If you kill them, they’ll turn into spirited grass and herbs, even valuable martial arts and skills. This is the Divine Void Slope giving you a chance,” the hoarse voice continued saying before Jackie could recover from his initial shock.

Upon hearing that, everyone who had come to the blood world perked up in an instant. They were wondering earlier why they were sent to this level, and what was the point of going to the foot of Netherworld Mountain with those three men.

Their doubts were answered.

The hoarse voice announced again, “You’re now standing at a hundred and twenty miles away from Netherworld Mountain. The closer you are to the mountain, the more powerful the fiends are, and the number of fiends who were able to turn into treasures will become rarer.”

The words from the mysterious being were like a dose of stimulant that roused the crowd with motivation and high spirits. Ever since they stepped into Divine Void Slope, they encountered and witnessed nothing but failure after failure; they had not been able to achieve anything for themselves.

The countless treasures were only gifted to the champions, and there was nothing for them but to drool in envy. The fact that there was finally a chance for them to gain something had naturally thrilled them.

Plenty of them were eager to dive right in, fantasizing the possibilities of killing tens of thousands of fiends and attaining limitless treasures and precious martial skills.

Jackie, on the other hand, was not thinking of the treasures he might get from killing fiends. The owner of the hoarse voice had clearly stated that the closer they got to Netherworld Mountain, the levels and powers of the fiends would become greater.

Their mission was to get to the foot of Netherworld Mountain, and by the time they arrived, they would be facing fiends of unimaginable power. As expected, the difficulties of each level escalated quickly.

Jackie let out a gentle sigh as his mind wandered back to the time when he had first arrived at the Secret Place for Resources and faced the three-headed wolf shortly after arriving. He had zero knowledge of the three-headed wolf’s level of cultivation at the time. It was Heath who told Jackie that the three-headed wolf was only at its preliminary level of cultivation.

He wondered if he would have the same problem of not being able to identify the fiends’ cultivation level in the blood world. If that was the case, the difficulty of this definitely went up by a notch.

“Your lives don’t matter in this world. If you were to be killed by the fiends here, you’d be dead for good. It won’t be like before where they’d teleport you out if they sensed that you’re in danger.”

The news rained on them like a cold pail of water during the harshest of winter. Everyone was frozen In terror upon hearing that, fearing that they might be killed off by the fiends.

They did not expect that their lives would be in danger here. Even though their passions were not as vigorous as before, the majority of them were still in high spirits, tempted by the innumerable treasures.

Cultivators were meant to go against the heavenly principles anyway; death was just part and parcel for them. Those who made it to the Secret Place for Resources were all elites from different fractions, and death was not going to stop them from advancing

Those elites had been through hell and back. They had been to treacherous places to obtain points for their clans and to train their combat skills.

Danger was bound to follow them whenever they go, anyway. Sure, they were slightly shaken and their spirits were not as high as before, but they were still fervent.

The hoarse voice continued, “If you don’t wish to participate at this level, you’re free to stay where you’re at right now. You’ll be sent back to Divine Void Slope in two days.”

This meant that this level would last for two days.

‘Does this mean that if in two days we don’t reach the foot of Netherworld Mountain, we’ll fail the mission?’ Jackie thought as he raised his brows knowingly.

Chapter 2283
The hoarse voice resounded again while Jackie was still deep in thoughts, “This level will take two days to solve. You’ll be eliminated if you’re unable to reach the foot of Netherland Mountain in two days. The level will begin-now!”

The hoarse voice went completely silent soon after. Jackie stood still as he exhaled a long, heavy breath. He had to calm his nerves and braced himself before he proceeded. He thought thoroughly about everything the hoarse voice had said.

The mysterious owner of the hoarse voice used’ fiends’ to describe all the obstacles they might face, and Jackie knew it was just a collective term.

No one knew what sort of monster they would face at this level. After contemplating for a while, Jackie took out a brand new mask from the Mustard Seed and put it over his face.

Even though he would not be able to see anyone, he knew for sure that he would run into people on this journey. He did not want others to recognize him as Jackie White as it would only cause him more trouble. If the masked man were to figure out his whereabouts, he would no doubt come looking for trouble.

With his current cultivation level, he would probably be able to take the masked man on squarely. However, his objective was to break through the level, not to have a battle with the masked man. Concealing his identity would save him plenty of unnecessary troubles.

After switching to a new mask, he changed into some new clothes as well. He did his best to stay lowkey so that when he did run into others they would not be able to recognize him as Jackie White.
