Soon, it was Feng Hao's turn. After bidding farewell to Xue Yan and Samsara, he strode into the pitch-black tunnel …
"What should I do?"
Looking at the pitch-black tunnel, Samsara asked faintly.
"If he can successfully overcome this calamity, then go to Nephrite Ancient City and wait for him. Perhaps he'll need your help there …"
Xue Yan's eyes were like the vast sea of stars, her voice ethereal, like the voice of a god.
"Nephrite Ancient City …"
Samsara murmured softly, glancing at the quiet girl beside him, his eyes filled with determination.
...
As soon as he stepped into the tunnel, the scene in front of him changed dramatically.
This was a circular square made of bluestone. Within it, there were a hundred puppets made of unknown materials. On the other side of the bluestone square, there was a bright door.
Obviously, one had to pass through the Hundred Puppets Array to get to the other side.
Feng Hao thought about using Ethereal Steps, but the space there seemed to be something wrong with it. It seemed to be an independent space, and Ethereal Steps couldn't be used at all.
Perhaps it was because Feng Hao's cultivation was too low, or perhaps his talent in Ethereal Steps wasn't perfect enough …
"Qilin Arm!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Feng Hao's Qilin Arm appeared with a single thought.
"Heh!"
With a muffled grunt, a violent aura swirled around his body. His body crouched slightly, like a wild beast released from its cage, and he charged into the Hundred Puppets Array. Raising his Qilin Arm, he viciously smashed it at the nearest puppet.
Bam!
As if he had smashed into a solid rock, a loud rumble burst forth. The power of a Second Realm Martial Honorable exploded, sending the puppet flying away. It landed in the distance and lay there motionless.
Strangely, the puppet was still in perfect condition. It wasn't damaged or broken.
"Every one of them is at the peak of the First Realm Martial Honorable!"
After taking a few hits from the puppets, Feng Hao understood their strength like the back of his hand.
Only the Heaven Battling Sage would be able to get a peak Martial Ancestor to pass through the Puppet Formation of a hundred peak First Rank Martial Honorables.
"Bang bang! …"
Within the Puppet Array, Feng Hao displayed the full potential of the Four Forces of the Tiger's Movement. At the same time, he activated the Supreme Essence Elixir in his body and his strength doubled. He was now at the peak of the Second Realm Martial Honorable Realm. Naturally, he did not feel too much pressure when dealing with these First Realm Martial Honorable Realm puppets. In an instant, the puppets were thrown everywhere. Wherever Feng Hao's Qilin Arm went, it was invincible!
About four minutes later, a hundred puppets were scattered all over the place. Feng Hao retracted his Qilin arm and calmly walked through the bright door.
...
He was already inside the Green Bronze Pagoda. A strange light flickered inside and it was brightly lit. A faint ancient charm lingered in the air, exuding an ancient and desolate aura that moved one's heart.
The Nephrite Holy Son, the Big Dipper Holy Son, and the Northern Mang Holy Son stood to the side. The disciples of the three hidden families also stood there. Even the Blood Demon's Shadow was there. They all wore serious expressions and their eyes flickered with hesitation.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Hao asked Yan Qing.
"Look over there."
Yan Qing's pretty face was also serious as she pointed at a stone tablet not far away.
"Bravely breaking through the Nine Heavens!"
"The First Heaven defeated a First Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast!"
"The Second Heaven defeated a First Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast!"
“.....”
"The Eighth Heaven defeated a Fourth Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast!"
"The Ninth Heaven defeated a Fourth Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast!"
"Everyone only has one chance to choose. If you defeat the Wild Beast of that level, you will receive the reward of that level. If you fail, you will die!"
"It can't be?"
Feng Hao's eyes widened. He finally understood why these guys were still waiting there quietly.
Bravely breaking through the Nine Heavens. If they had returned to their normal cultivation, this would not have been much pressure on the people present. However, their cultivation had been suppressed to the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm. How could they fight against a Fourth Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast in the Nine Heavens?
One had to know that when they were in the maze, the Elephant-Lion Beast, which was at the first level of the fourth rank of the Martial Honorable Realm, had caused them much trouble. If not for Fenghao's heavy blow which had broken through its defense, everyone would have been stuck there.
Now, it was obvious that if they wanted to obtain the Great Sage's inheritance, they would have to challenge the Nine Heavens. Otherwise, they would only be able to obtain some rare treasures or spiritual treasures.
"No wonder there was an Innate Holy Body that died in the Heaven-Battling Ancient Tomb."
Feng Hao came to a sudden realization when he saw the settings of the third stage.
Even the Nephrite Holy Son would not be able to fight against a Fourth Realm Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast. In other words, death was the only option!
And now, everyone finally understood why the Heaven-Battling Ancient Tomb had never had an inheritor since the Desolate Era.
Because no one could meet the Great Sage's requirements!
"Fourth Realm Martial Honorable Realm Third Realm …"
Feng Hao frowned slightly and began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.
With the protection of the Black Tortoise Formation, he should be able to withstand one or two attacks from a Peak Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast …
However, the problem now was, how could he defeat this Peak Martial Honorable Realm Wild Beast?
The Heaven-Flipping Palm?
That would definitely not do. It would waste too much time. Furthermore, it might not even be effective. This desolate beast was definitely not like the Elephant-Lion from the maze. Its mission was to guard the surroundings of the immortal's footsteps, never to leave.
As for the Wild Beasts in the Nine Heavens, their mission was to kill anyone who entered!
That was why the Holy Sons and the hidden clans were so hesitant. Even the Blood Demons did not dare to make a rash decision.
This was no joke. Once they made up their minds, there were only two choices — life or death!
Which was more important, the inheritance of the Great Sage or their lives?
Given their current talents, it would not be a problem for them to reach the peak. However, they did not have the courage to make such a decision at the cost of their lives!
Therefore, even Yan Qing had directly rejected the Seventh Realm and above.
"I wonder if I can walk on the void in the Nine Heavens …"
Feng Hao felt that walking on the void shouldn't be too much of a problem here. However, he was afraid that the Nine Heavens would be like the Hundred Puppets Array from before, a small independent space. That would be troublesome.
As for breaking through the wild beast's defense, Feng Hao thought of the Sovereign Weapon in his body, the Godslaying Sword!
This was an ultimate Sovereign Weapon that was forged by the Feng Clan's Emperor and contained the Emperor's Might!
Although Feng Hao was unable to activate the Emperor's Might in the Sovereign Weapon with his current cultivation base, the sharpness of the Godslaying Sword was undeniable. In this world, there were not many things that could stop its sharpness.
As for exposing the Sovereign Weapon?
Who would know about it in the Heaven-Battle Ancient Tomb?
Therefore, if he could walk on the void in the Nine Heavens, then a Level 4 Martial Honorable Realm Level 3 Wild Beast would not be too much of a threat to him.
