The Mastery Refined Saint Stage wild beast king did not have a defensive Divine Ability like the gigantic statue and the stone golem. Due to this reason, it was directly killed by Duan Lingtian's attack that was equivalent to the full force of a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage.
The moment the wild beast king died, the other wild beasts did not panic. Instead, they became even more frenzied.
Moreover, the swamp in the surroundings began to rumble again as more wild beasts shot out from the swamp. Although there were not as many wild beasts as before, there were still several hundred of them.
Among the several hundred wild beasts that joined the wild beast army, the strongest one was only at the Early Refined Saint Stage.
Due to this reason, no matter how strong the wild beasts were, they did not give Duan Lingtian any pressure at all.
They charged into Duan Lingtian's 10,000 Swords Territory one after another like moths to a flame. They did not care if they were dead or alive as though they were only here for that moment of glory and heroism.
As time passed by, Duan Lingtian began to feel a little numb.
In the end, although Duan Lingtian knew these wild beasts were just mirror images formed by the Illusory Formation and would be vaporized when they died, he was still shocked by their fearless courage.
In the end, he did not make any move and allowed his 10,000 Swords Territory to kill the wild beasts that charged in.
Duan Lingtian only sighed in relief when the last wild beast died.
However, before he could even heave a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly resonated from all directions and entered Duan Lingtian's ears clearly.
"Little fellow, congratulations on passing the first trial in the Abyssal Swamp. You'll have to face eight more trials … I'll be waiting for you at the last trial!"
This voice belonged to an old man. It sounded extremely old as it reverberated in the air. Duan Lingtian was stunned for a moment before he became excited.
"No matter if it was the Tower of Illusions or the Six Halls Palace, there was no such warning from the beginning until the end … And the attack of the group of savage beasts earlier was actually the first checkpoint of this Divine Ability Relic! The place where this Divine Ability Relic is hidden is called the Abyssal Swamp? "
After Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath, he slowly calmed his surging emotions.
One must know that even though he had guessed that the savage beasts were the first trial, he wasn't certain that the savage beasts were the first trial.
Because if that was the first checkpoint, it meant that the mystique recorded in this mystique relic was definitely extraordinary. At the very least, it would be stronger than the Golden Body of Reincarnation he had obtained and the Rock Sky Rampart that Xiao Dun had obtained.
And now, through the reminder of the old voice that seemed to come from all directions, Duan Lingtian confirmed his thoughts.
"This divine ability relic must have recorded a high-level divine ability!"
Originally, Duan Lingtian had thought that the Golden Body of Reincarnation that he had obtained was already a high-grade ability. But now, in comparison, Duan Lingtian realized that it was only a mid-grade ability.
Comparison was the scariest thing in all things. When compared, the difference between the two was obvious.
"That voice just now reminded me that there are eight more levels? Where's the second checkpoint? "
Just when Duan Lingtian was feeling puzzled, the Divine Consciousness that he released clearly sensed a ripple in the void not far away from him.
When Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze, he saw a crack appearing out of nowhere in the turbulent void. Following that, a thick and heavy door slowly emerged from the crack and appeared before Duan Ling Tian's eyes. The door opened, revealing a passageway that led to an unknown place.
"Passing the first trial and opening the door … It's indeed the same as the three Divine Ability Relics that we encountered earlier. However, the first trial of this Divine Ability Relic is much more difficult. "
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"As for Xiao Dun saying that the first trial here is similar to the first trial of the Six Halls Palace … That's just a misunderstanding! Perhaps, he would never have dreamed that the four savage beasts were just the prelude to the first trial. The real first trial will only appear after the four savage beasts are killed. "
Of course, Duan Lingtian also knew that the reason Xiao Dun had such a misunderstanding was because Xiao Dun and his companion were unable to deal with the four savage beasts.
Although the four savage beasts were fewer in number than the savage beasts in the first trial of the Six Halls Palace, they were of the same species and had a tacit understanding with each other. Therefore, their combined strength was not any weaker than the combined strength of the five avian savage beasts at the entrance of the Six Halls Palace.
The latter seemed to be attacking together, but they were actually scattered!
"Let's go in!"
With a thought, Duan Lingtian's body moved and directly entered the thick and heavy door.
What would be waiting for him inside?
Duan Lingtian was rather curious about this.
However, he knew that the subsequent trials would not be as simple as the first one.
After entering the door, all that entered his eyes was darkness. It was only when Duan Lingtian propped up the Sun True Origin on the surface of his body that his entire body emitted a dazzling radiance like the scorching sun that this dark space completely revealed its true appearance.
This was a deep and serene passageway that led all the way down.
Duan Lingtian was currently standing on top of the passageway. In the beginning, the passageway was straight all the way. After walking for a few hundred meters, it had to turn.
'This passageway is getting lower and lower … Could it be that it's bringing me somewhere? Or perhaps, the end of the passageway is where the subsequent trials are located? '
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian's speed increased by a few notches.
What would the second checkpoint be?
He did not know.
Although the unknown was the most terrifying, when he thought about how the Divine Ability recorded in this Divine Ability Relic was most likely a high-grade Divine Ability, Duan Lingtian's mind instantly became active again.
'Now, I'm about 100 meters away from the ground, right?'
As time passed, Duan Lingtian only felt that the passageway beneath his feet seemed to have no end. It was fine in the beginning, but as time went on, he began to get impatient. 'Now, I'm at least 300 meters underground … But I still haven't reached the end! How long is this passageway? '
Although he was getting impatient, Duan Lingtian did not give up and continued to go deeper.
A day's time passed in the blink of an eye.
'I'm at least 1,000 meters deep now.'
Two days had passed.
'I'm at least 2,000 meters deep now.'
Three days had passed. '
'I'm at least 3,000 meters deep now … Is there an end to this?'
Three days later, Duan Lingtian still had not walked out of the passageway beneath his feet. For the first time, he paused and did not continue moving forward. Instead, he stood there and gritted his teeth. 'I don't believe it!'
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's body moved like a ghost as he sped up.
In just a day's time, he had gone another 10,000 meters deep. However, he still had not reached the end of the passageway.
It was as though the passageway had no end.
'I see.'
Duan Lingtian, who paused again, was no longer as impatient as before. Instead, he revealed a thought-provoking smile. 'So, this is the second trial … This Illusory Formation is really ingenious! If I hadn't activated the Strange Pupil half a day ago, I wouldn't have realized that I've been walking the same path over and over again.
'What do you mean by 10,000 meters deep … I'm only 1,000 meters below the surface now! The reason I feel like I'm 10,000 meters deep is because of the Illusory Formation in this passageway! '
Since there was not much difference in the characteristics of the passageway, Duan Lingtian did not realize that he was walking the same path over and over again all the way down.
However, when he activated the Strange Pupil and studied the details and characteristics of the passageway, he realized that he had been walking the same path over and over again.
Naturally, this was because of the Illusory Formation!
'This Illusory Formation should be the second trial.'
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian fully immersed himself in the Illusory Formation that was everywhere in front of him.
If he wanted to break this Illusory Formation, he had to find the Formation Base of this Illusory Formation. Of course, it would be best if he could find the Formation Core.
Therefore, as he continued to walk down the passageway, Duan Lingtian completely released his Divine Consciousness and probed his surroundings.
At the same time, he stuck close to the stone wall on the side of the passageway and released his Sun True Origin into the stone wall of the passageway. As soon as he discovered something hidden in the stone wall, his Sun True Origin would immediately shatter and destroy it.
Of course, Duan Lingtian's Strange Pupil was not idle either.
The Strange Pupil was constantly activated, and his Spiritual Energy was constantly being depleted.
When it was depleted, it would stop to rest and recover. When it was fully recovered, it would continue.
Just like that, six to seven days passed.
Heaven rewarded those who worked hard. On the seventh day, Duan Lingtian finally discovered the first Formation Base of the Illusory Formation hidden in the passageway. He immediately activated his Sun True Origin to destroy it.
If it was the Formation Core, the Formation would naturally be broken after it was destroyed.
However, if it was the Formation Base, unless it was an extremely important one, destroying only one of the Formation Bases might not be enough to break the Formation.
This was the situation that Duan Lingtian was currently facing.
However, since he had found the first Formation Base, Duan Lingtian was very motivated. Soon, after half a day, he found the second Formation Base and destroyed it again.
This Formation Base was obviously much more important than the previous one.
Once it was destroyed, a ray of light appeared at the end of the passageway in the distance. Although it was very far away, Duan Lingtian still discovered it. "Is that the exit?"
At this time, Duan Lingtian also realized that he had broken the Illusory Formation.
"This kind of hurdle … is really a waste of time."
Although the second hurdle did not involve killing, it still took Duan Lingtian more than ten days. If he had a choice, he would rather face the test of the first hurdle.
The second hurdle was mentally exhausting.
Following the ray of light, Duan Lingtian walked out of the passageway.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The moment Duan Lingtian walked out of the passageway, Duan Lingtian's heart suddenly trembled. He felt a sense of threat shrouding his heart. He immediately activated the Sun True Origin in his body and transformed it into thousands of sword rays, forming a defense of the Taiyan Sword Bell.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Almost as soon as the Taiyan Sword Bell was formed, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed. He discovered that waves of unknown energy were pouring down from the top of his head.
