âMasterâ¦â
Tang Qingshan, Peak Leader Duanmu, and the others were startled.
âDonât worry.â Sacred Leader Qinglong waved his hand and said calmly, âAccording to my speculation, it would take them at least half a day to reach the Reaperâs Platform. Itâs quite rare for us to gather together, letâs have a nice talk.â
Tang Qingshan and the rest were slightly stunned. Their eyes flickered with complicated looks as they nodded their heads.
The crowd could not help but let out a sigh seeing this.
It seemed like Sacred Leader Qinglong was making some arrangements before his death.
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
Qin Nan and his crew entered the giant Door of Death together. As soon as they entered it, a blinding light filled their vision, causing them to unconsciously shut their eyes. When they opened their eyes immediately after, they had been transported to another world.
Qin Nan immediately checked his surroundings.
He was currently standing on a dojo covered in blood, which had a circumference of two hundred li. The surroundings of the dojo were filled with darkness. Even with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle he could not see through it.
Furthermore, the most eye-catching thing was that there were two different paths on each side of the dojo. One of them was colored white, while the other one was black, both extending toward the darkness, leading to somewhere unknown.
Humph!
A cold harrumph could be heard all of a sudden, which appeared to be Xiao Zhonghuang.
Xiao Zhonghuang stood on the other side of the dojo surrounded by eighteen Peak Leaders and over a thousand Martial Dominator Realm experts, resulting in a magnificent scene.
In comparison, Qin Nanâs side only had four in total, thus causing them to appear extremely weak against the other side.
The dojo was surrounded by over ten thousand rogue cultivators as well, who all spectated in silence.
Qin Nan was about to speak, but a piercing sound could be heard all of a sudden.
A middle-aged man appeared above the dojo.
The man was entirely pitch-black, accompanied by a thick deathly aura. His eyes were completely red, which sent chills down the crowdâs spines when they met his eyes.
âHmm? A Martial Highness Realm expertâa stronger presence to be exactâhis cultivation is at least half-Martial Sacred Realm. Itâs quite unique, as I cannot sense any hint of life from his bodyâ¦â
Qin Nan scanned with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle, leaving him with a frown.
âAs you all see, there are two different routes here. The white path will lead you to the Reaperâs Platform. The black path contains countless fortunate encounters, but great dangers too. Only one among ten would survive. That being said, you might acquire some peerless succession that might change your fate. You have the time it takes an incense to burn to make your decision!â
The middle-aged man glanced at the crowd and said coldly.
âCome, letâs take the black path!â
âIâm here to alter my fate!â
âIâll pass!â
ââ¦â¦â
The crowd became lively at that instant. Many among them proceeded toward the black path with firm determination.
The others shook their heads. They were only here to witness the duel between Qin Nan and Xiao Zhonghuang.
âLetâs go!â
Xiao Zhonghuang glanced at Qin Nan with a cold grin, before leading his group toward the white path.
âWait.â A clear voice could be heard all of a sudden, which belonged to Jiang Bilan. Since she had been crippled by Qin Nan, her face had turned utterly pale, but her eyes were filled with a firm look. âXiao Zhonghuang, you go ahead. Iâll take the black path.â
âAs you wish!â
Xiao Zhonghuang glanced at her calmly. The black path was filled with extreme dangers. A cripple like Jiang Bilan would definitely die taking that path.
He could not care less about her life now.
No one among the Peak Leaders and Martial Dominator Realm experts stepped forward to stop her, but stared at her coldly instead of their usual friendly smiles toward her.
Jiang Bilanâs breathing halted slightly, before she adjusted her thoughts and walked toward the black path at a slow pace.
Her footsteps halted when she walked past Qin Nan. She glanced at Qin Nan for a moment before making her leave swiftly.
âLetâs move out.â
Qin Nan no longer had any business with Jiang Bilan. His rage toward her had completely dissipated after crippling her.
âQin Nan!â
However, a pleasant voice suddenly appeared at that instant.
Qin Nan turned around and his hair stood on end with a glance. He could see a glamorous female with a tall figure and pale skin approaching him, accompanied by two men who looked exactly the same as him.
This woman was none other than his First Senior Brother, Zhao Fang. He was now using the appearance of Yu Luosha whom he had met previously at the City of Black Hands.
Zhao Fang was extremely excited to see Qin Nan.
Since the great change that had taken place to the Qinglong Sacred Area, he was told to be undercover in the Feiyang Sacred Area. After arriving here, he had waited for an opportunity to transform into the appearance of Yu Luosha in order to escape from the Feiyang Sacred Areaâs troops.
âHmm? Such a gorgeous lady. Qin Nan, whoâs this, why havenât you introduced her to meâ¦â
The Longhu Ancestor Beastâs eyes glistened when he saw Yu Luosha, whose saliva almost dribbled out from his mouth.
He had been kept in custody by Peak Leader Duanmu in an isolated place for a few months to cultivate, thus it had been a long time since he had seen a woman.
Qin Nan, Princess Miao Miao, and Sima Kong wore strange looks on their faces.
âWho are you?â
Zhao Fang wore a disgusted look after seeing this man who had two bumps on his head drooling at him.
âHehe, beautiful lady, allow me to introduce myself. Iâm the Longhu Ancestor Beast, oh snap, Iâm now the Longhu Dominator Beast. I possess the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon and the Thunderous Tiger, a noble presenceâa future dominator of the world. If you were to come with me, I will guarantee you would have great fortuneâ¦â The Longhu Dominator Beast said pridefully in a boasting manner.
âLetâs go.â
Qin Nan, Princess Miao Miao, and Sima Kong headed straight toward the white path as they could no longer stand it.
âHey, Qin Nan, wait for me.â
Zhao Fang immediately followed.
âSheet, Princess Miao Miao was stolen by you, and now even this pretty lady too. Qin Nan, I wonât give upâ¦â
The Longhu Dominator Beast wore a sorrowful look. He secretly made up his mind that he would steal the heart of this gorgeous lady at all costs.
The white path was only a few hundred meters long. In just a brief moment, Qin Nan and his companions had reached the end of the path.
âThis isâ¦â
Qin Nan and the others wore astonished looks.
The darkness before them suddenly disappeared, replaced by a new scene. The sky was covered with the color of blood, with a green moon hanging in it. The ground was scorched black, as if it had been burnt by countless flames, giving it a deathly aura.
Not only that, there was a huge cemetery three li away from them.
The graves were incredibly large, placed extremely close to one another while the soil around them was splattered with blood.
From a rough glimpse, it appeared that there were at least more than ten thousand graves here!
âEveryone, I am the person in charge of the trial here at the Reaperâs Platform. You can call me Deathâs Servant!â The middle-aged man scanned the crowd once again and wore an eerie grin, âThis place is known as the Bloodshed Tomb, with a total of eighty-seven thousand graves. Among these graves, eighty thousand of them are traps. Even a Martial Highness would be killed instantly upon entering them. Only seven thousand of them are safe, and filled with various treasures!â
âBefore entering the Reaperâs Platform, there will be two trials. The first one is this Bloodshed Tomb! The trial will last for an hour, and each one of you is required to enter at least ten graves. The one with the highest amount of graves entered will come first, and will be rewarded with the Heart of Bodhi!â
The crowd was stunned upon hearing this.
The first trial was already this terrifying!
