There were various signs that indicated that the assessment program had set Shi Xiaobai's identity as the Infernal King. Although it was just an inference and guess, it was enough to match nearly all the suspicious points. It was like a key that could simultaneously unlock many locks.
And Shi Xiaobai was not afraid of becoming the Infernal domain's Infernal King for some baffling reason. Instead, he was delighted.
However, as such, Shi Xiaobai could not help but feel apologetic towards the people beside him. He said with a sigh, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid the method of killing the Infernal King will not work."
To the trial-takers who were designated as Bravehearts, 'killing the Infernal King' was one of the four known methods to clear the seventh level. But at this moment, if Shi Xiaobai's identity really became the Infernal King, then the people in front of him would definitely not choose this method. This method of clearing the level was equivalent to being severed.
However, the people in front of her clearly did not care about the matter. Sunless did not care if she could clear the seventh level to begin with. The silver-haired girl also shook her head with a smile, indicating that she did not care.
Feng Yuanlin shrugged and said, "I'm just here to watch the show. In history, only four people have passed the seventh level. I don't dare to think about it!"
Pulp Farmer said in a self-deprecating manner, "The three of us can't even beat Moya, so how can we have extravagant hopes of defeating the Infernal King?"
Liu Yu also shook his head and laughed. He said, "Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, your apology is somewhat unnecessary. To be honest, This Penniless Priest was extremely nervous when he saw the Infernal Queen. If This Penniless Priest were to face a true Infernal King, He would probably flee."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai shook his head helplessly before asking, "Then what do you plan on doing next?"
Since these people were able to reach the seventh level, they naturally wouldn't give up halfway and give up so easily. They would definitely do their best to try and clear this level. Even if they failed, they wouldn't have any regrets.
However, the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament had already ended, and Shi Xiaobai had inexplicably become the Infernal King. It was equivalent to having two fewer ways to clear the level.
The road ahead became much narrower.
Liu Yu said softly, "There are clearly three methods left. First, survive for a hundred days. Second, challenge the legend of the Hero King. Third, find a fifth method that has not been used before! To be honest, I don't have any confidence in these three methods. "
"No, there are only two methods left."
Pulp Farmer shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten? The legend of the Hero King is also related to the Infernal King."
Liu Yu was slightly taken aback, before he smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, you're right. This humble Daoist had accidentally overlooked this matter. In that case, other than finding another way to clear the stage, we only have the most painful method of surviving for a hundred days?"
Surviving for a hundred days didn't sound difficult, but in reality, a hundred days was a total of 34 tribulations. To a trial taker, this wasn't just a test of strength, but also a test of endurance and willpower.
Generally speaking, trial-takers who could not find any other way out, or who had failed in other paths, could only choose to survive for a hundred days as their last resort. However, aside from Overlord Ji Feng, no one had been able to persist.
Most of the trial-takers who had experienced this method would describe it as a pain in the ass.
When Shi Xiaobai heard Pulp Farmer say that 'the Hero King's legend is related to the Infernal King', he was somewhat curious about the Hero King's fourth story, but he had forgotten to ask. At this moment, he could not help but ask, "What did the Hero King do in the seventh level?"

…
Since ancient times, gods and demons were irreconcilable!
This was an irrefutable truth. It clearly indicated one thing — gods and demons were mutually exclusive existences, just like light and darkness, justice and evil.
However, there was a hidden truth that was not stated clearly — with gods, there was definitely demons. With demons, there was definitely gods!
Why was light light? Because of the existence of darkness!
How could justice be called justice? Because evil was so!
This was the simplest and most solid truth in the world. Everything in the world had its positive and negative sides that reinforced and restrained each other.
And in the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, it was the same.
Although this world's era was called the era of the Bravehearts and the Infernal King, in fact, this world had an existence that was the complete opposite of demons — gods.
However, gods were only legendary existences to most people. They were imaginary existences.
This was because gods had distanced themselves from the world, and did not participate in the conflicts of the mortal world. They were nearly extinct in the mortal world.
Only an extremely small number of mighty figures knew that gods existed in this world. Outside the Infernal domain and the mortal world, there was a third hidden kingdom. Its name was … the Celestial domain!
In an ancient text left behind by a sage — The Celestial domain is above the mortal world.
Most people believed that the meaning of this sentence was that the Celestial domain was above the mortal world.
But in fact, the sage had vaguely pointed out the existence of the Celestial domain. He had also informed the people of the world where the Celestial domain was!
The Celestial domain was above the mortal world, which also meant that it was in the sky!
Speechless headed north on the desolate lands. His speed was not fast, and he would stop from time to time. Even though he did not look tired, he would occasionally sit or lie down on the ice-cold rocks in the dead silence. It looked like he was resting, but no matter how one looked at it, it looked like a waste of time.
When night fell, he decided to have a good sleep in the desolate lands.
Speechless was clearly heading for a particular place, but he was in no hurry. It was as though he was deliberately delaying his arrival.
Even by deliberately wasting time on his journey, Speechless finally arrived at the northern end of the Silent Desolate Lands at noon on the second day.
The western end of the Silent Desolate Lands was the Door of the Bravehearts. It was the only entrance from the mortal world to the Infernal domain.
The eastern end of the Silent Desolate Lands was Transcendence. It was the city closest to the Infernal domain, and it was also known as the edge of the mortal world.
As for the northern end of the Silent Desolate Lands, it was an endless sea!
This was a sea that no one cared about because there were no living creatures in the sea. There was only churning dark blue seawater, as well as the occasional storms and tsunamis.
Speechless came to the coast and from afar, he stared at the silent but boiling sea.
Moments later, a pair of gigantic crystal wings suddenly unfurled from Speechless' back. With a flap, he flew towards the sea.
He flew in the boundary between the sea and the sky. His speed was as fast as lightning, and from afar, it looked like he was slicing open a bright line between the sea and the sky.
This sea was vast and boundless, but it was extremely boring. Along the way, the scenery they saw was like the same tape being played over and over again. Other than the ripples of the waves and the shape of the clouds, they could not see any other changes.
Such a flight was comfortable and boring.
However, the sea that no one cared about was clearly not that simple.
But after Speechless flew for half an hour, the scene in front of him suddenly changed drastically.
The clear sky darkened in an instant, and rolling thunder clouds covered the entire sky, as if night had fallen. From time to time, there would be a deafening roar of thunder exploding in the thunder clouds, and the flashing lightning illuminated the darkness in front of them for a short while.
Speechless was still flying, and his speed did not decrease. Instead, he increased his speed. A few bolts of lightning brushed past his body and nearly struck him. Speechless remained expressionless as he flew forward in an extremely calm manner.
Suddenly, in the momentary flashing light, a shocking scene appeared in front of him!
In the vast sea, there was a swirling sea current that was hundreds of meters in diameter rising upwards. It pierced through the sky and into the thunderclouds!
The sea current that surged into the sky was like a heaven-supporting pillar that was hundreds of meters in diameter. And the speed at which the sea current revolved was many times faster than ordinary whirlpools or tornadoes. If one was sucked into it, one would definitely be instantly ground to nothingness!
And such a gigantic rising sea current had suddenly appeared ten thousand meters in front of Speechless.
Lightning flashed as the brief light illuminated the shocking scene. It was also a warning to the long-awaited visitor that there was an untraversable land of death in front of him.
However, Speechless acted as though he did not see it. He did not change his direction.
In a radius of a kilometer around the rising sea current, strong winds blew. Closer, space would even appear to distort. The power of the spinning sea current was just the tip of the iceberg, but it already possessed the power to shatter ordinary life.
But in the raging winds and the distorted space, Speechless did not change his direction. His speed did not slow down in the slightest.
Without any hesitation, he plunged head-first into the swirling sea current that was spiraling towards the sky!
