Chapter 733 Level 4
"Good lad, it's you again. I really underestimated you. You've got some skills. Since you're the first one again, I'll give you some more benefits. Be careful not to let them be taken away."
Suddenly, the Sword Demon's voice echoed throughout the entire snowy road.
Then, amidst countless envious gazes, three beams of light descended and entered Ye Kang's field of vision.
This time, there are three lost treasures.
Only Ye Kang can see the location of these treasures.
Everyone had mixed feelings. Some were almost driven mad with jealousy, some were full of admiration, some were proud, and some were itching to get their hands on each other.
For example, the True Man Canye and several demon emperors all had murderous intent on their faces.
"Damn it! How could it be this bastard!"
"Lin Donghong! Are you out of your mind? You actually let that kid go first!"
Many people looked at Lin Donghong with dissatisfaction. Logically speaking, he was the most likely person to stop Ye Kang from going first, but not only did he not make a move, he also reminded Ye Kang, which was really puzzling.
Lin Donghong said calmly, "Everyone should rely on their own abilities, why bother to stop us? Besides, it doesn't matter whether we go first or not outside the Divine Palace. Only short-sighted people like you would care."
He sneered dismissively and continued forward.
Some people did sense something was amiss from the words of the Sword Demon's lingering resentment.
For example, Su Hongxiu muttered to herself with a puzzled look: "What does this mean? It's him again? Could it be that Ye Kang was also the vanguard in the first and second trials?"
Not only him, but also the Dean of the Array Academy, Qing Songzi, looked terrified: "Could it be that the mysterious person who found the array node first in the second level was Ye Kang!"
Although they guessed it, they didn't make a fuss. Taking the lead three times in a row would be shocking if it got out, and could very likely bring trouble to Ye Kang.
At the same time, three more directions appeared in Ye Kang's eyes.
Those are three locations surrounding the Palace of No Mercy. The area of the third pass shrinks dramatically, to the vicinity of the Palace of No Mercy's walls, beyond which lies a bottomless cliff.
The greatest danger of the third stage was the snowy road, which Ye Kang had already easily traversed. There was nothing left to stop him, so he rushed towards the nearest point without hesitation.
Someone was in a hurry on the snowy road.
"Hurry up and follow him! That kid knows the location of the treasure!"
"Nonsense! Who wouldn't want to follow? It's just impossible to get through!"
The group of people were speechless. This was too tragic. Not only could they not catch up, they couldn't even snatch it. They could only watch as the other party rapidly collected the aura of the relic.
After absorbing the first aura, Ye Kang disappeared from everyone's sight without lingering.
This Palace of No Mercy is like being in the clouds; stepping on it feels like stepping on clouds, soft and fluffy, without the slightest dirt.
He quickly circled around and collected all three treasures. Including the one he hadn't opened before, Ye Kang now possessed four treasure blind boxes.
No rush, let's leave it and tear it down together.
He looked up happily, taking in the entirety of the Palace of No Mercy.
Contrary to expectations, the palace, though enormous, was not sacred. Instead, it exuded a sinister and chilling aura, and the sculptures and murals surrounding the palace depicted scenes from hell.
The evil spirit clutched its head and howled, the ghost messengers pulled out its tongue and gouged out its heart, the oil in the cauldron boiled, and the chains were all strung together, creating a truly terrifying scene.
Ye Kang circled around and found that there was only one main entrance, which was the magnificent golden gate at the end of the snowy road.
Elsewhere, there wasn't a single door, not even a dog hole.
After confirming that he couldn't find the location, Ye Kang went straight back to the main entrance, just as Lin Donghong had climbed up.
Shen Guili and the others were also close by, but the closer they got, the more troublesome the snow demons became, forcing them to slow down.
When Lin Donghong saw Ye Kang return, he smiled and asked, "Did you get the lost treasure?"
Ye Kang quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior, you flatter me."
"What are you laughing at? This is what you deserve. But no matter how good the relics are, they are still just trinkets. The real treasures are in here."
Lin Donghong reached out and stroked the gate of the Wushe Divine Palace.
His eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence: "Back then, I trudged through the snowy path countless times, finally managing to climb up, but time had already run out. I could only look at the gates of the shrine so close at hand and leave with regret."
He took a deep breath and strained: "Finally! My turn!"
He shouted and actually pushed open the gate of the shrine.
Everyone looked up, trying to see what was inside, but all they saw was darkness.
Ye Kang also opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It opened that easily?
Lin Donghong laughed and said, "Don't be surprised. The Palace of No Mercy is not as simple as you think. You'll find out once you go in."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and strode in. Ye Kang glanced behind him and saw that no one had reached the end yet, so he gritted his teeth and followed Lin Donghong in.
Immediately afterwards, the doors slammed shut, and a beam of light shot out from the dome, illuminating the surroundings.
Ye Kang immediately became extremely alert. Inside the divine palace, the space was still incredibly large, but there was nothing there at all; it was completely empty, like a finely crafted but unfinished house.
Ye Kang couldn't help but ask, "Why is there nothing here?"
Lin Donghong chuckled: "Young man, after so many raids, what do you think is left here?"
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment. Indeed, with wave after wave of martial artists coming in, they would naturally take away even the ground. How could there be anything left?
Lin Donghong continued, "This is still within the third level. There are three levels inside the Unforgivable Divine Palace. Those who can pass through them can try to sit on the Unforgivable Throne. If they are lucky, they may be able to obtain the Sword Demon's inheritance. Unfortunately, in the past ten thousand years, only three people have been able to pass through all six levels, and none of them have been able to sit on the throne."
Ye Kang nodded and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
"Don't misunderstand, I'm telling you all this just so you can get here and help me reach the fourth level."
"What do you mean?"
"See that dome? That's the entrance to the fourth level, called the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls. The Sword Demon killed countless people and unknowingly absorbed countless souls, forming this Valley of Souls. Only when enough people enter can powerful souls of the dead be attracted out. And capturing these souls is the key to passing the fourth level and gaining the first entry."
Lin Donghong smiled wickedly, his eyes filled with greed.
Ye Kang was taken aback: "Then why did you tell us these things, senior?"
"It doesn't matter, because luck is useless in the fourth level. Even if you know that, you still can't catch enough dead souls."
Lin Donghong laughed heartily, his expression one of utmost confidence.
Ye Kang roughly understood; this guy's goal from the beginning was this fourth level.
It's estimated that he prepared quite a few things in order to capture the spirits of the dead.
"Senior, is the reward for being the first to reach the fourth level different?"
"You're quite clever. That's right. The first three trials are optional; they don't matter to us Nirvana Realm cultivators. But the treasures in this fourth trial are of such high quality that even True Realm cultivators would covet them. The first trial here is what we're after!"
