Chapter 600: Guardian of the Bridge, Ghost Name Evil Lang
Chapter 600: Guardian of the Bridge, Ghost Name Evil Lang
Before them was a vast and boundless world!
In the distant sky, one could see numerous enormous mountain ranges and islands floating in the air.
From time to time, enormous true dragon figures, each tens of thousands of meters long, flew across the sky, followed by phoenixes that dyed half of the sky!
He Yiming looked down and realized that he and the others were on the boundary of a floating island. Looking around, the ground below was an endless expanse!
The land was covered with colossal ancient trees. Each tree's canopy was so massive that it covered hundreds of miles in front of it, and even on the canopy lived countless creatures!
On one of the ancient trees even perched a vermilion bird with nine red feathers!
On this boundless land, the immense Dao laws even condensed into a form and rose into the void, creating a grand Dao radiance that covered the sky.
"Where is this?" He Yiming was quite shocked by this sight.
Everything around him was clearly not the Chaotic Star Sea, nor any small secret realm within a certain space.
With his Qing Emperor's Eternal Life Body having reached completion, he could naturally sense an extremely shocking fact.
Most of these ancient trees had existed for over a million years!
It was truly astonishing!
This was definitely not some lower plane, nor something that could be born in the Chaotic Star Sea!
"According to the opinions of many Nascent Soul seniors, this realm is a fragment of an ancient era's land!"
"What you see at your feet right now are memories of this fragment of an ancient era's land! They are just illusions and don't actually exist!"
"This fragment of land from the ancient era was likely sealed here by a transcendent existence of that time. But even so, after countless years, most of its Dao power and ancient aura have already dissipated. Only a trace remains! However, even in this remnant, there are still many fifth-grade and even sixth-grade spirit materials, and there are also some powerful spirit beasts! Their strength is quite formidable! There are even beings comparable to the Half-Step Yuan Infant realm!"
"These remnants and the spirit beasts residing within them have come together to form this Mysterious Mire!"
...
Mu Xueying's soft and clear voice broke the silence, making everyone present hear her words clearly.
"So that's how it is..." He Yiming nodded.
In simple terms, the essence of the Mysterious Mire was a fragment of an ancient era's land. After most of its essence had faded away, only a trace remained.
Now, there were only some powerful Half-Step Yuan Infant realm spirit beasts left, guarding some fifth and sixth-grade spirit materials!
It sounded similar to a general secret realm!
However, He Yiming had a gut feeling that something wasn't right.
Was it really just like this?
"Here they come!" At this moment, many geniuses who had been here several times before became excited and spoke out.
He Yiming turned his head to look.
"Boom!" Suddenly, at the edge of a cliff in front of them, countless flowing lights converged into stone bricks, which connected in the void. In an instant, they formed an ancient stone bridge radiating colorful light, exuding a vast aura.
On the other side of the ancient stone bridge, as if the mist had cleared away, a massive floating island appeared.
On the island, numerous powerful spirit beasts could be seen, along with countless rare treasures!
They emitted countless enticing auras, drawing the attention of all the geniuses present.
However, shortly after, the newcomers frowned in unison.
Because, just like countless years before, the same figure had appeared there.
In the center of the stone bridge stood a figure facing away from everyone.
A longsword in the left hand, a longbow on the back, and a simple warrior's armor adorned the body. Black hair was tied up behind the head.
With the breeze blowing, this figure stood quietly at the center of the stone bridge. The center of the bridge, when seen from a distance, was like an arena.
"To cross this bridge, you shall have a fair duel with me... Ghost Name Evil Lang~!" The figure that had turned its back slowly spoke, and an astonishing ghostly aura erupted from its entire being.
"Here comes the guardian, Ghost Name Evil Lang!"
"Everyone, be careful. This guardian is incredibly strong!"
"He's unbeatable, but for countless years, we've already found a way to cross this bridge by following the instructions of our elders!"
...
Seeing this figure, the human cultivators, demon clan members, and devil sect disciples who had come from the Upper Realm seemed prepared.
"What the heck!"
However, when the players saw this scene, most of them were left in shock!
"This can't be right. Isn't this Sekiro? How did he become a bridge guardian?"
"Damn, I knew it. The developers must be fans of Dark Souls. They even brought Sekiro over!"
"Oh my god, is that not Isshin Ashina, also known as Genichiro?"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious. I've already completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice with no damage taken, even on the fourth playthrough! They're actually using Sekiro?"
"It's 2032 now. Will there still be players who can't beat Sekiro?"
"Hahaha, watch me go first. I'll easily defeat Sekiro without taking any damage!"
...
The players were in an uproar, excitedly discussing the situation.
"Everyone, don't move for now. Let the disciples from the Flame Yellow Sect go first! Hehe, they will soon realize that even if they have exceptional talent, it can't be fully utilized. They'll be held back!" At this moment, many knowledgeable geniuses from the three major factions smirked, looking like they were prepared to enjoy a show.
"I'll go first!!!" At this moment, a figure leaped into the air and rushed onto the bridge.
Surprisingly, it was a player from the third test, Guan Sada.
"Oh my god, it's Guan Sada, the third test expert!"
"Hahaha, this wave, Guan Sada is definitely going to win!"
"Go for it, Guan Sada. Defeat this Evil Lang!"
...
Many third test human players shouted excitedly.
"Why can't this guy see his cultivation level? Whatever, I'll just attack him!" Guan Sada shook the Qinglong Moon Cutter in his hand, grinned, and jumped onto the platform.
"I, Guan..."
"Splurt!"
Before Guan Sada could even finish speaking, a black longsword struck out, and both the Qinglong Moon Cutter in his hand and his body were cleaved in two.
"???" Guan Sada, standing in the resurrection hall, was full of question marks.
What the heck?
"Nameless brat!" Ghost Name Evil Lang's disdainful voice echoed, yet he didn't pursue.
He simply stood there, silently in the middle of the platform.
The entire venue fell into a brief silence. The human players from the third test were dumbfounded.
"What the heck, Guan Sada was killed in an instant!"
"Damn, this speed is insane!"
"I didn't even see what happened!"
...
This scene directly shocked the human players from the third test.
"I'll go!" Pineapple Snow Wind didn't hesitate and charged forward
!
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out as Pineapple Snow Wind looked at the shattered swords in her hands, her eyes filled with resentment.
"If you can't block it, then dodge it. Watch this!" Taking my last sword's turn to challenge, shouted as he jumped onto the platform.
As soon as he reached the platform, he immediately retreated.
"There's something wrong with this platform!" However, Taking my last sword, shocked, discovered that his Nascent Soul realm cultivation and powerful physical body were suppressed as if by an iron grip. Even when he moved at full speed, he could only retreat a few meters.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" The next moment, three arrows arrived almost instantaneously, shattering the longsword in Taking my last sword's hand and piercing through his body.
Another instant kill!
In a short time, three experts among the human players from the third test were killed on the spot!
"..."
Seeing this, Just Stretching My Leg, who was about to step onto the platform, silently retracted his foot.
Damn, thank goodness I didn't step on. Is this a human's doing?
"Is Evil Lang really this strong? Damn, did the developers mess up?"
"Are you stupid? Isn't my brother Lang always been amazing?"
"I feel like the players from the third test are out of the running. Maybe we should ask the experts from the first and second tests to perform!"
...
Many players started discussing animatedly.
However, just then, the leading three talents from the Three Sword Alliance stepped forward.
"Hehe, Flame Yellow Sect folks, open your eyes wide and see what true talent is! What it truly means to be a genius!" The three figures smiled arrogantly.
Then the three nodded at each other, without saying a word, and leaped onto the platform.
"Three against one?" Players were dumbfounded.
Can you really gang up three against one?
"Sword Intent, Heavenly River Sword!"
"Sword Intent, Bladeless Greatsword!"
"Sword Intent, Void Slashing Sword!"
...
As soon as the three talents from the Three Sword Alliance stepped onto the platform, they immediately activated their Sword Intents and launched numerous attacks.
"Boom boom boom!" However, Ghost Name Evil Lang swung his longsword, shattering all of their attacks!
"Rune, Mountain-sealing Seal!"
"Heavenly Artifact, Rivers and Mountains Diagram!"
"Yuan Infant One Finger!!!"
...
However, the three Sword Alliance talents remained unfazed. They each brought out their sect's most powerful techniques, bestowed upon them by their Yuan Infant realm seniors, and attacked one after another.
"Boom boom boom!" This wave of attacks managed to hold Ghost Name Evil Lang back for a breath's time.
During this two-breath interval, the three talents from the Three Sword Alliance burned their blood essence and unleashed their strongest escape technique. Through a void shift, they rushed out of the platform, arriving on the other side of the stone bridge.
"Despicable outsiders!!!" Ghost Name Evil Lang coldly exclaimed, but he didn't pursue.
He just stood silently in the center of the platform.
"Hahaha! The treasures of the Mysterious Mire are ours now!"
The three talents from the Three Sword Alliance laughed victoriously and immediately rushed toward the floating island ahead.
"Damn!"
"Is this... this low?"
"Damn, did this NPC just exploit a bug? This is ridiculous!"
...
All players were utterly confounded, feeling like their intelligence had been insulted!
Damn it!
These developers are so shameless! We earnestly fought against the Guardian of the Bridge, but damn, the NPC just used a bug to pass through?
Can you really play like this?
[Mysterious Mire, is there truly just a bit of residue left? Is the floating island that the Three Sword Alliance rushed to really the Mysterious Mire? The excitement has just begun... Wonderful, it's only just starting].
