The door to the trial opened. Jian Wushuang nodded and stepped into the trial tower again.
This time, it was indeed as Shan Jun had said. It was very different.
The second level of the trial tower made him reminisce about the ease of the first level.
The second level was very similar to the Purgatory he had imagined.
The terrifying existences he saw on this level, the terrifying creatures churning in the magma, were things he did not want to see again in his life.
"I hope you will never see the light of day!"
On the second level, Jian Wushuang's strength was not divided or suppressed. He was at the peak of his combat strength.
But on this level, it was useless no matter how strong he was.
There were three hundred and sixty chains, and he needed to reach the end of each chain. Below the chains were the churning Ancient Gods and Devils in the magma.
Each of them had the strength of an Imperial Emperor, and some of them had even surpassed the True Martial Sun!
They fought and howled in the magma.
Jian Wushuang carefully walked on the chains. Under the terrifying temperature, his Connate Cardinal treasure armor was boiling hot.
Ordinary Cardinal treasures could melt at any time in this Purgatory.
After walking through all three hundred and sixty chains, he felt that he had lost all feeling in his feet and his consciousness had become extremely stiff.
After he stepped onto the lotus-shaped altar, his legs were like stone pillars, and he was as immovable as a mountain.
The lotus altar was the only land in this Purgatory. It was only a few miles long and wide.
It stood above the magma like a pillar supporting the sky.
There were red chains all around, and below was the terrifying magma and the giant beasts.
Whoosh!
Looking back at the giant magma beasts below, Jian Wushuang was still a little breathless!
This was a test of the physical body, a test of willpower.
As he walked on the chains, the heat of the chains tempered his body. With the giant magma beasts below, he would fall if he was not careful or could not persevere.
Fall!
Jian Wushuang's back was covered in cold sweat. He really did not dare to imagine what it would be like to fall!
This journey lasted for three hundred years. Three hundred years of suffering.
He had to constantly use the Beast God Domain to strengthen his divine body. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand it.
In particular, the destruction of his willpower had caused him to be incomparably stiff. Or perhaps it could be said that he was incomparably tenacious. No matter what step he took, he would resolutely take it.
After arriving at the altar, he did not feel the slightest sense of relief.
Several hours later, he opened his eyes and looked at the center of the altar.
According to the message on the token, he needed to sacrifice his current physical body on the altar.
Although he didn't understand why it was so ridiculous, he had no choice but to walk towards the altar.
At the center of the altar, there was a huge cauldron.
Jian Wushuang began the sacrificial ritual according to the incantation.
Plop!
He knelt down on both knees and raised his hands above his head, bowing to the heavens with his head on the ground.
Bang bang bang!
He bowed three times!
"Great Desolation, please accept this body!"
Jian Wushuang slowly rose to his feet, but his body was still kneeling beside the cauldron.
The one who stood up was the phantom of the divine body.
Weng!
The cauldron rumbled as his physical body slowly stood up and jumped into the cauldron.
Boom!
A beam of light erupted from the cauldron.
Jian Wushuang's phantom trembled.
Then, everything returned to normal.
Jian Wushuang frowned. 'That's it?'
In the next moment, another beam of light erupted from the cauldron, and three bronze locks flew out.
There was also a white-bearded old man. He looked benevolent, and the corners of his eyes were curved.
"Sacrificer, which lock did you just sacrifice?" The white-bearded old man opened his hands. The three bronze locks shone with gold, silver, and yellow colors.
They corresponded to the three grades of gold, silver, and bronze.
"I … I think I sacrificed this." Jian Wushuang was about to say something, but he stopped abruptly.
He wanted to say that he sacrificed his physical body, but on second thought, since he was given three treasures, he had no choice but to choose one of the three.
"Senior, I'm offering this golden lock!"
Jian Wushuang bowed and cupped his fists respectfully.
The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, then sighed. "Oh, I see.
I'll give you this golden lock! “
The small golden lock floated toward Jian Wushuang. There were several dragon patterns embroidered on it.
The power emanating from it was extremely strong.
When the golden lock came into contact with his divine body's phantom, his divine body instantly shone brightly and started to reconstruct a new physical body.
The former was the same in terms of foundation, but with the fusion of the golden lock, his divine body was stronger than before.
"Dragon Lock Body!"
Jian Wushuang's physical body turned golden, and there was a huge dragon locked in his body.
Just as he was in shock, the white-haired old man sighed and said regretfully, "What a pity, what a pity that no one claimed such a high quality body. This old man can only use it as bait."
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, a fishing rod appeared in his hand. There was a physical body hanging on the hook that looked exactly like Jian Wushuang.
The fishing rod extended for tens of thousands of meters and was thrown into the lava.
Soon, a giant lava beast was caught. However, the giant lava beast that was caught by the fishing rod became very small, and its aura was very weak.
The white-haired old man was very happy.
He put away the fishing rod, grabbed the giant lava beast with both hands, and entered the cauldron again with a smile.
Only Jian Wushuang was left standing in the wind in confusion.
"I seem to have missed something!"
Physical body!
Yes, physical body.
An unclaimed physical body. Wasn't that the physical body that he had sacrificed?
This white-haired old man clearly knew that it was his physical body, but he still felt sorry for it in front of him. He was really bad to the core.
Jian Wushuang stomped his feet in anger.
Although he had obtained the golden lock, the increase in physical strength was limited. It did not meet the requirements of the second level.
At this moment, a message came from the token.
"Trial failed!"
"Damn it!"
Jian Wushuang did not dare to make a sound, but he cursed the white-haired old man ten thousand times in his heart.
Now that he had failed the trial, what should he do?
He was not dead yet!
Whoosh!
Uncontrollably, he was forcibly teleported back to the very beginning.
This was also the place where the dream began.
Everything returned to the beginning, when he had just stepped into the second level of the Trial Tower. The only change was that his physical body was much stronger than before.
Some of it was because he had trained to walk the 360 chains, especially the tenacity of his legs, which was very obvious.
Some of it was also because of the golden lock.
This trip was not in vain. Jian Wushuang tried to comfort himself, but when he looked up and saw countless chains in all directions, Jian Wushuang felt like dying.
He had spent all his treasure points, and now he had to bite the bullet and walk the path to the end.
Fortunately, with his first experience, his strong will, and his strong state of mind, he did not collapse.
He had wasted more than a hundred years in vain.
