Chapter 357

Buzz —

About an hour after the Underworld God Palace and Netherworld Tower's teams left the first mechanism, a silver pearl floated up from the ground and released a water-like silver splendor.

Space distorted, and a door of light appeared out of nowhere. A group of people passed through it.

"Looks like many people died."

Huang Pingzhang clicked his tongue and said, "We have to maintain a suitable distance from our main body.

"We have to maintain a suitable distance from the main body. We can't be too far away or too close. Fatty, we'll teleport about once every hour. As for the specifics, we'll follow my instructions."

Gu Chen's clone pondered. There was a spiritual connection between him and his main body. This connection was weaker the further away they were, so he could roughly judge the distance between them.

They had to be prepared to support their main body at any time, and it was best not to be discovered by the Underworld God Palace and Netherworld Tower.

With the enemy leading the way, all the mechanisms along the way had been destroyed. They could save a lot of time and energy. They could wait for the enemy to be exhausted and wait for an opportunity to kill!

"Hehe, I hope Huang Fude will work harder. He has to persist until the end of the trial."

Fatty smiled maliciously. Everyone exchanged glances and saw the schadenfreude in each other's eyes.

…

Immersion of Water and Fire, Five Deaths Samsara Formation, Path of Rolling Thunder …

The Underworld God Palace and Netherworld Tower's teams advanced, passing through one winding passage after another. However, they found that the mechanisms here seemed to be endless and did not stop at all.

Under such circumstances, even though there were two Sages, the original team of 19 people was reduced by two-thirds, causing everyone's expressions to turn ugly.

"What do you mean there are only two trials? How many mechanisms and traps have we encountered along the way?!"

Huang Fude's eyes were gloomy. There were fewer people from the Underworld God Palace in this team. After the losses along the way, there were only seven people left.

On the other hand, Netherworld Tower still had more than ten people left. This made him a little cautious.

If — if — if Netherworld Tower betrayed them when they were about to obtain the king of weapons armory, the consequences would be very bad.

Since both sides were working together, there was naturally a foundation of mutual trust.

However, along the way, they had quarreled many times over who should go first. Both sides had their companions die, and it was already very unpleasant.

Under such circumstances, he had to consider the possibility of Netherworld Tower betraying them.

The Nether God Palace was dissatisfied, but the Yellow Spring Pavilion wasn't any better.

Although they had more survivors, they had sent out more people to begin with. In reality, their losses were quite heavy.

"Great Uncle, we have to be on guard against the people from the Nether God Palace. Previously, when we were going through those checkpoints, that Huang Fude intentionally slacked off many times and let our people risk their lives."

Gu Chen secretly sent a voice transmission to the Sage of the Yan Family, looking extremely worried. "Our deaths aren't to be regretted, but the Nether God Palace's Dark Sky Guards don't act often. They only protect their master. Most of the dangers we encountered along the way were thanks to Great Uncle's hard work. If this continues, it will be very disadvantageous to you in the future. "

Yan Kuan listened to Gu Chen's voice transmission expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear it at all. However, there was a trace of haze in his eyes as he looked at Huangfu De.

"Keep an eye on Huang Fude for the Old Man no matter what happens at the checkpoint."

Yan Kuan pondered for a long time before his voice resounded in Gu Chen's mind.

"Understood."

Gu Chen pretended to be serious, but he was laughing in his heart.

The seeds of suspicion had been planted in the hearts of both parties. Even if he didn't do anything else, the two parties would sooner or later have a conflict driven by interests.

After walking through countless winding passages, the front suddenly became clear!

Everyone realized that they seemed to have left the interior of a mountain and arrived in the outside world.

In front of them, the sky was extremely blue, and below them was a vast ocean!

"Is the trial of the King of Arms finally over?"

Huang Fude felt relieved. The scenery in front of him was picturesque, making him feel relaxed and happy.

"Something's wrong."

Gu Chen frowned and sniffed lightly.

Ever since he was sent into this strange world by the King of Arms Tripod, he had always smelled some strange stench. It was fine when he smelled it in those caves, but now that he was in the vast world, the stench should have dissipated, but on the contrary, it seemed to have become stronger.

Moreover, the blue sky and the sea in front of him looked beautiful, but there was something strange about it that he couldn't describe.

What was wrong?

Gu Chen closed his eyes and used his mind to feel it. Soon, he opened his eyes with shock.

It was the wind!

In such a vast world, he couldn't feel a trace of wind!

"I'll go wash up."

A cultivator from the Netherworld Tower was covered in blood. At this moment, he had finally reached a safe place, so he wanted to change his clothes.

He flew straight down to the turquoise sea below, wanting to take a good bath.

Everyone finally had a break, so they didn't care about him. Some sat on the spot to rest, while others looked around curiously.

The turquoise sea below was so beautiful that people couldn't guard against it at all. The cultivator from the Netherworld Tower jumped directly into it.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream instantly spread out, causing everyone's expression to change as they looked over.

They saw that the cultivator who jumped into the sea was corroding at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, his skin, flesh, and bones melted away, and he completely disappeared from this world!

His voice stopped. The scream only lasted for a moment, but it made everyone's hair stand on end.

"Is there something wrong with the seawater here?"

Huang Fude's face turned pale.

"This is not seawater at all!"

Only then did the two Sages use their Divine Consciousness to carefully examine the turquoise sea and soon came to a conclusion.

The seawater looked beautiful and clear, but in fact, it was an extremely terrifying venom. Even the flesh of an immortal-level cultivator would be instantly corroded when he entered it!

"This is a sea. Where did the King of Arms find such a huge amount of venom?"

Gradually, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. They felt that the King of Arms' ability had far exceeded their expectations.

Venom that could corrode a king instantly was not easy to refine, let alone a vast sea. This was no longer something that could be done by humans!

"What exactly is this place? Is this a secret realm that hasn't been discovered by anyone? Or is there something else? "

At this moment, the two Sages felt cold all over. They felt that even with their cultivation level, they might lose their lives at any time.

The King of Arms had passed away due to illness at the age of 86. With his cultivation level back then, it was impossible for him to create such a place!

Although there were many traps along the way, they could still tell that it was the King of Arms' work. Everything in front of them had completely overturned their imagination!

"Leave this place as soon as possible!"
