Chapter 54: Trial, Tier Seven!

Regarding Bai Qi, Link had a deep impression!

God of War, Lord Wu’an! A man comparable to the gods!

In Bai Qi’s time, just his name was enough to terrify his enemies upon hearing it.

With his own strength, he killed 400,000 people. How shocking and intimidating was that?

Presently, on this divine trial tablet was actually a person whose name was similar to Bai Qi’s, and his profession was [God of Killing]. This was bound to bring many thoughts to one’s mind.

Could it be that way back in Lord Wu’an’s era, this apocalypse had already arrived? Is the God of Killing, Hei Qi, also the God of War, Bai Qi?

Link felt as if a cloud of dense fog was shrouding this world, and he was within an inch of being able to brush it away!

“Saiya, what are the trial rules of this Sin Realm?” Link’s gaze focused; he had developed an interest in the Sin Realm.

So many powerhouses with different talents have once stepped on these grounds and created new records. This is enough to prove that this place is not simple. What exactly was attracting this batch of people?

“The Sin Realm is the City of the Undead’s elementary level trial ground. It is divided into seven tiers. Every tier has a corresponding tester whose level matches that of the adventurer. However, their grades are all different; the higher the tier, the higher the tester’s grade!

“Beginning from trial tier one, the tester’s grade will be Silver. By this reasoning, Gold for tier two… and tier six will be Myth-grade! If someone enters tier seven, the tester they face will be a Super God-grade existence! Only, as of now, nobody has cleared it yet!” spoke Saiya. All these years, she had witnessed numerous rulers rise up, but there was never anyone who could clear tier seven!

This was because that was a tier that was already comparable to the gods!

With a Super God-grade, so long as one was able to grow, they would certainly be an existence that could look down on all the heroes and dominate the universe!

“If you would like to enter the Sin Realm, a threshold similarly exists—only adventurers at Stage Four and below may enter. If high-level adventurers wish to participate in the trial, they can only head towards the two other dungeons!”

“Adventurers may select their level and enter after paying a fixed amount of trial points. After successfully defeating the opponent, you can gain abundant EXP rewards, even acquire treasures and inherit cultivation methods. All these depend on luck. It is a program configured by the original owner!”

Saiya related all of the Sin Realm’s trial rules in one breath.

Link’s eyes brightened. It turns out that the Sin Realm’s rewards are so plentiful. It is no wonder it made people come in continuous crowds.

Putting everything aside, just that massive amount of EXP was enough to tempt one. In the outside world, one needed to search for powerful monsters if they wanted to level. However, this also coexisted with risks. After all, those monsters weren’t fools that would stand unmoving and wait to be killed.

If one wanted to boost their capabilities, they had to bear the risks of being counter killed.

However, there was absolutely no need to worry about this in the City of the Undead. Even if one was no match for the dungeon and died inside the trial dungeons, it was alright. Their true self would not die because of this; they would only enter a certain state of feebleness instead.

However, if one were to succeed, the EXP gained was enough to boost one’s capabilities significantly and even improve one’s combat skills, killing many birds with one stone! There were even treasures and equipment rewards—it was an objective that people yearned for even more!

But what Link cared the most for was the records displayed on the divine trial tablet!

The rankings on the divine trial tablet also signified exactly how terrifying the person’s talent and capabilities were!

Take Tallis—who ranked first—for example. He had cleared Sin Realm’s sixth tier! It also implied that he had actually defeated a same-level Myth-grade existence. This was enough to prove how frightening he was!

The [Order Master] was indeed exceptional!

“How do I select a level!” Link asked respectfully. After learning about the Sin Realm’s trial rules, he was in high spirits instead. He wanted to see just how powerful the exceedingly talented tester was!

“Adventurer, please look!” Upon hearing him, Saiya waved her delicate hand, and a strange energy surged out.

A selection interface immediately appeared before Link. There were a total of seven levels.

Every level symbolized the Sin Realm’s tiers.

“You may freely choose one level, but you have to pay a fixed amount of trial points!” Saiya whispered. As Link was the City of the Undead’s present owner, he naturally enjoyed special treatment.

“I choose… tier seven!” Link said coolly, his tone filled with resolution.

He would definitely rank right at the top in this lifetime, so how would he be willing to be beneath others? Moreover, Link totally had the capabilities!

He was the [Great Void Taboo Master], a Taboo-grade existence!

Even when compared to the professions on the divine trial tablet——[Order Master], [Elemental Master], [God of Killing], and so on—he wasn’t inferior at all.

If others could achieve the same thing, why couldn’t he?

In this lifetime, he was fated to break the shackles!

When it came to fighting against an opponent within the same stage, he had never feared anyone!

“Alright, you have to pay 5,000 trial points to head to the Sin Realm’s seventh tier!” Saiya nodded. She did not care about the adventurers’ dungeon choice; she only worked according to the fixed program.

Link’s brow arched upon hearing that. Fortunately, he had been gifted 5,000 trial points earlier. Otherwise, it would be really awkward if he couldn’t even enter this dungeon.

“No problem, of course!” Link spoke. After paying 5,000 trial points, Link’s figure suddenly vanished.

When he appeared, he found himself in an extremely dim space. The place was dark and gloomy, like the dark abyss where not a hint of light could be seen.

The darkness was obscure. Somehow, a strange force seemed to be around, wanting to keep one lost in the darkness forever and sunken in this place!

In the air, an exceedingly dismal and evil aura suffused. Just the slightest contact with it was enough to make one’s hair stand on end!

Upon seeing this scene, Link frowned slightly. He could sense that an anomaly existed in this place!

Right then, Link spoke up. “Yuna!”

Holy light instantly lit up behind him.

Holy Angel Yuna, who emitted a holy white light all over, suddenly appeared. The radiance spilled to the surroundings as if it was going to dispel the darkness and bring light back to the area!

Although this was an individual dungeon where only one person could enter, the restrictions absolutely didn’t exist to Link. This was because Yuna was his summoned creature; she could naturally enter with him.

After all, if a [Summoner] could not summon their summoned creatures, what was there to play!?

It wasn’t only Yuna; even God Devourer Ant and Star Moon appeared together.

Three figures emerged behind Link and seemed to dispel that ghastly, evil aura in the air.

Kra kra kra!

Kra kra kra!

Kra kra kra!

Right then, strange sounds went off. It sounded like skeletons that were broken, then forcefully propped up—they let out utterly ear-piercing sounds.

In front of Link, the darkness changed. Snow-white bones then emerged from the darkness, completely joining together to form a human-like figure.

This was a swordsman. He was covered in bone armor from head to toe, but all the bones in his body were warped and torn out of his body, looking extremely hideous. He even held an exquisite bone sword, and the mist of death lingered ceaselessly.

The instant this figure appeared, an extremely dense mist of death immediately surged all around as if the gates of the death realm had been opened!
