Chapter 25: He

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower was huge.

At least it was bigger than Qi Chen.

The flower stood there and Qi Chen was not even as tall as its roots.

Thankfully, the Black Dragon King had prepared a storage space for the trial-takers in the mystic realm.

Otherwise, Qi Chen really did not know how to deal with this Soul Returning Flower.

Since he had obtained the item, it was time to move on.

Under the system’s prompt, Qi Chen continued to search for all kinds of supplies.

Time slowly passed. Nearly a day had passed in the entire trial.

As the poison circle shrunk, people from all walks of life were also constantly clashing.

Qi Chen looked into the distance and could already see the green poisonous gas in the distance.

At this time, there were still eight teams surviving in the mystic realm, with a total of twenty-two people.

From the looks of it, not many teams survived with all four members.

As a lone wolf, I should focus on my development and only appear in the finals. When the time comes, I’ll just use Immovable Mountain and they won’t be able to do anything to me!

Qi Chen thought to himself.

Qi Chen’s current equipment could be said to be very luxurious.

He was covered in golden legendary items.

[Host: Qi Chen]

[Speed: 5.9]

[Defense: 7.9 (Level 4 Armor Defense+2)]

[Attack: 7.9 (Level 4 Spear Attack+2)]

His storage space was even filled with all sorts of medicines. Right now, all he had to do was to endure until the end of time and wait for victory.

After making up his mind, Qi Chen dug a hole in the sand and the egg went right in.

Before he could bury himself, system notifications sounded in his head.

[Prompt: Nine hundred meters ahead, three level-five mutated beasts have appeared!]

[Prompt: Nine hundred meters ahead, two level-five demon beasts have appeared!]

[Prompt: The other party is approaching! Please be careful!]

[Warning! Nine hundred meters ahead, a large number of unknown creatures have appeared!]

[Warning! The other party is approaching! Please hide immediately!]

What is going on?

Qi Chen was stunned. He stopped digging the sand and forgo the plan to bury himself.

He immediately got up from the pit and looked in the direction prompted by the system notification.

In the distance, three humans and two demon beasts were desperately running in Qi Chen’s direction.

Behind them were a bunch of strange creatures.

Those creatures did not look like living creatures. Their dilapidated bodies were flowing with pus, blood, and corpse oil.

Only their eyes—Even though they were still a few hundred meters away, Qi Chen could feel the fervor in their eyes.

At the same time, they seemed to be mumbling something.

It was the most sincere faith in something.

They were getting closer.

When they were three to four hundred meters away from Qi Chen, Qi Chen could finally hear what they were saying.

“In ‘His’ name, the heaven that plays the gospel of the new world will finally descend. A paradise flowing with corpse oil and pus will envelop the human world!”

“When paradise arrives, believe in our great Father!”

It was just whispers, but Qi Chen could already feel some strange images appearing in his mind.

“What the…”

He quickly shook his head to get rid of the noise and turned to run.

“Oi! Black Dragon King!”

Qi Chen shouted at the sky as he ran, “What are these things!? Why do you have these things in your mystic realm?”

Black Dragon King’s voice sounded beside his ear. “Didn’t I say that Pandora’s box is filled with hope and despair?”

“The Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower is hope, while ‘He’ is despair. How about it? Are you surprised?”

Black Dragon King’s voice was filled with ridicule.

“What exactly is this ‘He’ you’re talking about?”

Qi Chen asked again.

“Your rank is still too low. You don’t have the qualifications to know this.”

The Black Dragon King’s apparition appeared beside Qi Chen. He turned to the fanatical unknown lifeforms and sighed. “Since you have the Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower, help me get rid of those things.”

“What should I do?”

Qi Chen was confused.

These things didn’t look like living creatures no matter how he looked at them. He didn’t know how to control lightning right now.

Qi Chen didn’t think that Shadow Kill would be of any use to deal with these kinds of things.

“Don’t judge them by their appearances.” Black Dragon King said, “Actually, these things are still alive. Warbeasts, fire, and other things are all effective to these things.”

“You mean these things are still alive?”

Qi Chen was shocked by Black Dragon King’s words.

“Of course they are alive. They live by their faith in ‘Him’.”

“In the outside world, this method might be useless against these things, but in the mystic realm, there is no sacrificial altar to consecrate ‘Him’. This kind of method is useful. However, it’s worth noting that you must not be bewitched by the words of these things. Otherwise, even I can’t save you.”

“I see.” Qi Chen nodded, but he quickly realized something and said, “That’s not right. Why should I help you?”

“Because you have the Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower,” Black Dragon King said matter-of-factly. “You don’t think that I’ll give you such a precious thing for free, do you?”

“What the…”

Qi Chen’s phlegm was stuck in his throat, but since he was an egg he couldn’t spit it out.

“Don’t try to act meek when you’ve gotten a bargain. The Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower’s value is very high. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t make a move on these things right now, I wouldn’t have taken out this treasure.”

Black Dragon King’s heart ached.

“I have one last question.”

“Go ahead.”

“Why can’t you do anything?”

Qi Chen was a little curious. Logically speaking, a fragment of the Black Dragon King’s soul should be an almost invincible existence in the Inheritance Tower.

Those monsters were only level five or six. If Black Dragon King attacked, he could crush them with a single slap.

“Because… I’ve been targeted by ‘Him’.” The Black Dragon looked up and stared at the sky.

“Ten thousand years ago, when I broke through the Heavenly Gate, I was targeted by ‘Him’. Therefore, I cannot make a move, or I will attract ‘His’ attention.”

“Got it.”

Qi Chen nodded.

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, now was not the time to ask.

If this continued, the few brothers behind him would be assimilated by those monsters.

Qi Chen could already see that a faint fanatic expression had already appeared on a man’s face.

“Everyone, don’t panic! I’m here!”

Qi Chen took out his spear and turned around to attack.

He jumped into the crowd of monsters.

The whispers coming from all directions made Qi Chen fall into a trance.

Right at this moment, the Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower in his storage space released a dazzling light.

This caused Qi Chen’s mind to clear up.

The spear seemed to be held tightly by his invisible hands as it spun around him.

“You pitiful people, let me free you!”

“The sacrifice… the sacrifice is on him!”

A monster said something different.

In an instant, all the monsters looked at Qi Chen..
