Su Zimo and the other two continued forward.
Dong!
The three of them also stopped when they heard the third drum.
Su Zimo frowned slightly. He closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his body.
When the third drum sounded, his lifespan was reduced again. However, this time, it was 30,000 years.
They were originally about 100 feet away from the center of the hall.
Now, they had only walked 300 feet when they heard the third drum sound.
Each drum sound would reduce their lifespan.
10,000 years, 20,000 years, 30,000 years … It didn't seem like much, but if they calculated according to this pattern, they would have lost almost 300,000 years of lifespan when they walked about 700 feet!
In other words, even if they exhausted their lifespan, they wouldn't be able to obtain the Purple Dawn Talisman.
The four of them stood on the spot and didn't continue forward rashly.
Now, they had lost 60,000 years of lifespan.
If they continued forward and the fourth drum sounded, they would lose 40,000 years of lifespan. In total, it would be 100,000 years of lifespan!
This was an unbearable loss for anyone present.
The Purple Dawn Talisman was a priceless treasure, but the price was too great.
More importantly, even if they gave up all their lifespan, they might not be able to obtain the talisman!
Faced with such a situation, everyone had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
At this moment, Nie Hun and Jin Yu also arrived. When they saw Su Zimo and the other three standing still, they were surprised and puzzled.
After hesitating for a moment, the two of them carefully walked forward.
There were no other dangers in the hall. The two of them quickly walked 300 feet. They also heard the third drum sound and lost 60,000 years of lifespan.
"So this is Immortal Emperor Chen Mu's test."
Jin Yu also saw the reason for this place and murmured softly.
Nie Hun suddenly smiled with a trace of mockery on his face. He said faintly, "Why don't you dare to go forward?"
"If you go forward, no one will stop you."
Ying Tian said coldly.
"Alright! Since everyone has agreed, I won't hold back. "
Nie Hun cupped his hands slightly. His figure moved and sped forward. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed another 100 feet.
Dong!
Nie Hun heard the fourth drum sound.
His lifespan had been reduced by 40,000 years!
He was originally eighty thousand years old. Amongst the Celestial Immortals, he was considered one of the younger generation.
But now, he had only covered a distance of 400 feet in an instant, but he had lost 100,000 years of his lifespan and was now 180,000 years old!
Nie Hun took a deep breath, his expression calm.
His journey this time was actually a huge gamble.
He knew that since Immortal Emperor Ding Chen Mu left behind such a test, there must be a way to break through the situation. He definitely wouldn't send them to their deaths!
Otherwise, the test would be meaningless.
Nie Hun guessed that it was extremely likely that Immortal Emperor Chen Mu was testing their disposition and courage.
Only with the courage to fight for survival and the courage to press forward with indomitable will one be able to pass the test and obtain the Purple Cloud Talisman!
When he thought up to here, Nie Hun steeled his resolve and continued forward, flashing past another 100 feet.
He was only five hundred feet away from the center of the hall.
At the same time, the fifth drum sounded.
Nie Hun could clearly sense that he had lost 50,000 years of his lifespan!
He was already two hundred and thirty thousand years old!
He was only seventy thousand years away from the limit of three hundred thousand years of lifespan for Heaven Immortals.
Nie Hun's face was gloomy, and his firm conviction began to waver.
Was I wrong?
Nie Hun was hesitant, unable to advance or retreat. He didn't dare to continue forward.
One had to know that if he took another step forward, when the sixth drum sounded, he would lose 60,000 years of lifespan.
At that time, he would be two hundred and ninety thousand years old, past his prime. Everything would be too late!
However, if he went back the way he came, he wouldn't be able to recover his lost lifespan.
In other words, he would lose 150,000 years of lifespan for nothing.
Nie Hun was unwilling to accept this!
"Haha, why aren't you moving?"
At this moment, Ying Tian chuckled softly. "If you're afraid, then come back obediently. There's no need to force yourself."
Lin Luo shook her head inwardly when she heard this.
Ying Tian's words completely blocked Nie Hun's path of retreat.
As expected, when he heard Ying Tian's mockery, Nie Hun's blood surged. His expression was indignant as he snorted coldly and rushed forward.
Dong!
The sixth drum sounded.
Under the gaze of Lin Luo and the others, Nie Hun's body underwent a shocking change.
In just a short distance of 30 meters, everyone watched as Nie Hun transformed from a peak and powerful cultivator into a white-haired old man in his twilight years ….
The impact of the passage of time was extremely cruel!
Ying Tian, Lang Qianqian, and the others were relieved.
Luckily, they didn't go forward recklessly. Otherwise, they would end up like Nie Hun.
Nie Hun stood in place. He looked at his white hair and his old, skinny hands. His eyes were lost with a hint of struggle and unwillingness.
"Why?"
"Immortal Emperor Chen Mu, did you leave a test like this just to kill us!?"
"What's the point of a test like this!?"
Nie Hun stood in place and roared. His voice echoed in the spacious hall.
Ying Tian smiled and said, "Immortal Emperor Chen Mu didn't ask you to die. You overestimated yourself and are courting death!"
Lang Qianqian nodded and said, "The test in this hall shouldn't be prepared for Heaven Immortals."
"According to my calculations, you need to have a lifespan of more than five hundred thousand years to obtain the Purple Cloud Talisman. Even a True Immortal can't do it. I'm afraid you have to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm!"
"I don't believe it!"
Nie Hun used the last of his strength and roared.
He had no way out.
Even if he went back the way he came, he was past his prime and only had a year left to live.
He could only continue forward and hope for a miracle!
Nie Hun continued forward.
The seventh beat of the drum sounded. Nie Hun's eyes dimmed. His Origin Spirit was destroyed and his lifespan was exhausted. He fell in the hall and died!
Nie Hun's death destroyed the last hope in Ying Tian and the others' hearts.
In fact, Ying Tian and the others had the same guess. Since this was a test left behind by Immortal Emperor Chen Mu, it shouldn't be a dead end. There must be a way out.
Now that Nie Hun was dead, Ying Tian and the others completely gave up and retreated.
Even though they had lost sixty thousand years of lifespan, they at least kept their lives.
"Fellow Cultivator Su, let's retreat too."
Lin Luo looked at Su Zimo beside her.
Just Now, Su Zimo stood motionless and didn't say a word. His eyes were closed as if his mind was wandering. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Su Zimo suddenly opened his eyes and seemed to have realized something. His figure flashed and moved toward the center of the hall!
"Fellow Cultivator, watch out!"
Lin Luo was shocked and quickly reminded him.
Ying Tian and the others also noticed Su Zimo's actions and had different expressions.
"Hehe, another one who wants to die."
Jin Yu curled his lips and sneered.
"Greed is causing trouble. This person has lost his mind."
Lang Qianqian shook her head slightly and said regretfully.
Ying Tian said indifferently, "In this world, there are too many people who don't know themselves. They always think that they are the favored children of Heaven and Earth with providence. Little do they know that they are just stupid ants!"
"This person wants to die. At least I don't have to do anything."
