In the tenth area, Ling Xian concealed his Qi and carefully moved forward.
He was covered in blood and his breathing was weak. Compared to before he entered the tenth area, his condition was much worse.
What could he do? The tenth area was far too dangerous. Ever since he entered, he had encountered nine battles. Without an exception, they were all seventh leveled beings.
If he wasn't capable enough to fight against seventh leveled beasts, he would've died a long time ago. However, even though he escaped, he was heavily injured.
The gap between the sixth and seventh level was far too large. Like the gap between heaven and earth, even a God King wouldn't be able to cross it.
For Ling Xian to be able to escape was already an unbelievable feat.
Other than the nine battles, he also encountered five dangerous areas. Without an exception, they were all similar to forbidden areas.
Even for someone as powerful as Ling Xian, he had to use a lot of energy to barely pass.
"Phew, I wonder how much further I have to go …"
Ling Xian breathed out a mouthful of murky air. Staring at the end of the road, for the first time, uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
It was far too difficult. He wasn't sure how dangerous the road ahead would be. He wasn't even sure if he could make it to the end.
Very quickly, however, his gaze turned determined.
There was no turning back. He had already stepped into the tenth area. Other than continuing to move forward, he had no other choice.
"The tenth area truly lives up to its name. To me right now, it is a little difficult."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Then, he marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
His deep eyes were unprecedentedly serious and unprecedentedly determined.
Three days later, he once again encountered a seventh leveled beast. After an intense battle, he successfully escaped. However, his injuries worsened.
This forced Ling Xian to stop and find a quiet place to heal his wounds.
Five days later, he continued his journey again. However, he didn't get far before he encountered a dangerous area.
It was a quagmire. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but mud. Not even a single leaf could be seen.
This made Ling Xian's expression turn serious. He flapped around his sleeve and all the leaves in the sky began to fall. Some landed on the quagmire, some floated in midair.
Then, an unbelievable scene happened.
Whether it was the leaves that landed on the quagmire or the leaves that floated in midair, they were all sucked in. Not a single leaf was spared.
This made Ling Xian's pupils constrict and his expression turned serious.
One had to know that leaves were almost weightless, yet they were unable to stay on the quagmire. They couldn't even float in midair. This was enough to prove how terrifying the quagmire was.
"Even leaves can't float. A living person would definitely be sucked in."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He knew that if he was sucked in, then his life would most likely end here.
But even leaves couldn't float. With his weight, he would naturally be sucked in.
"This quagmire is too strange. We can only choose to take a detour."
Ling Xian bitterly chuckled and searched for another path. Then, the bitterness intensified.
This was because the path from left to right was a quagmire. There was no other path.
"It seems like if I want to reach the end, I cannot go around the quagmire." Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Then, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, if he went above the quagmire, he would definitely be sucked in. Once he was sucked in, his life and death would no longer be in his control.
In other words, all he had to do was not get sucked in.
"I have no choice but to set up an array. I hope this array can help me get through the quagmire."
Mumbling, Ling Xian waved his hand and set up an array. At once, arrays appeared and formed into a mysterious array.
This array was named the Levitation Array. It was an array created by Feng Qing Ming specifically for areas where flying is forbidden. Its ability was to allow living beings to float in the air even when flying is forbidden. Without a doubt, it was the best way to fight against the quagmire.
"Thank you, Immortal of Array. If he didn't create such a mysterious array, I would've died here."
Grinning, Ling Xian stepped onto the Levitation Array and arrived above the quagmire.
Instantly, an undefeatable force of suction came. Even for someone as powerful as Ling Xian, he was shaking.
Luckily, the Levitation Array released a mysterious force. Though it couldn't completely block out the suction, it ensured that he was suspended in midair.
This made Ling Xian smile. He used all his strength to summon the Levitation Array and flew forward.
Due to the terrifying suction from the quagmire, his speed was slow and unsteady. However, the power of the Levitation Array was enough to ensure that he wouldn't be sucked into the quagmire.
Just like that, Ling Xian slowly moved forward. After some time, he finally passed the quagmire.
"I finally made it …"
Ling Xian sighed in relief. Turning around to look at the strange quagmire, he revealed a joyous smile.
No matter how dangerous the quagmire was, he successfully passed it. This was something to be happy about.
But very quickly, Ling Xian erased his smile. After passing through the quagmire, he could tell that the path ahead will be even more dangerous.
Reality was just as he predicted.
Basically, every single day, he would encounter an intense battle. After 10 days, he encountered a forbidden area that was even more dangerous than the quagmire.
This time, Ling Xian encountered a crisis like never before. He was forced to use all of his techniques to barely escape.
"I wonder how far I have to go. I wonder if I can make it to the end …"
Mumbling, Ling Xian marched forward with heavy steps and was determined to move forward.
…
"Only 10 more days until the trial ends. I wonder how the seventh demon and the others are doing."
"I think they died in the 10th area. After all, that is a forbidden area that even seventh leveled cultivators fear."
"I don't think so. After all, they are all candidates for the God Emperor. They won't die so easily."
"Since the beginning of time, how many people have died in the 10th area? Even among the candidates for the Godemperor, many died in there. "
The challengers discussed and didn't have high hopes for the seventh demon and the others.
What could they do? The 10th area was far too dangerous. Since the beginning of time, only four people have passed. The others either didn't dare to try or died inside.
"Who do you think has the highest chance?"
"Of course. It's the seventh demon. It's not because he's been famous for a long time, it's because he has the God Emperor's inheritance. The complete inheritance!"
"That's right. He has the complete inheritance. He has the highest chance of passing the 10th area."
"The way I see it, the You Ming has the highest chance. Legend has it that she came from that place."
"The Emperor of Medicine is also possible. His father is one of the powerhouses of the Xuan Wu Continent. Even if he doesn't surpass his father, he doesn't pale in comparison."
The challengers all made their guesses. Some supported the seventh demon, others supported the You Ming and the Emperor of Medicine.
Ling Xian was the only one nobody mentioned.
Just like that, time passed by in the midst of discussions. After seven days, Ling Xian's points suddenly shot up to 512,000 and he became number one!
Everyone fell into a state of shock. They didn't think the first person to pass the 10th area would be Ling Xian, the one they didn't have high hopes for.
Then, everyone suppressed the shock they felt and continued to wait.
Three days later, the trial ended. Ling Xian was still number one while the seventh demon and the others' points remained unchanged.
This meant he was the only one who passed the 10th area!
