chapter 2271-2280
Chapter 2271
Jackie turned around and did not respond. No matter what the masked man said, he acted as if he heard
nothing. It did not matter how much he said.
On top of that, Jackie looked forward to thest challenge. If this was before the absorption of that
Scattered Soul Crystal in the blood world, he might not be a match against the masked man. However,
the current situation was different. The Scattered Soul Crystal allowed Jackie to form 20 soul swords.
Coupled with the 15 soul swords he formed before, he had a total of 35 soul swords, which reassured
him from being intimidated.
The mark that he had mastered Destroying the Void was when he managed to form 50 soul swords. As
ofte, he was only 15 soul swords away from his aim of 50 soul swords. Once he managed to form 50
soul swords, nobody in the innate level would be his opponent. After all, Destroying the Void was at least
I in the ultimate god level, and nobody in the innate level, apart from Jackie, could practice martial skills
of the ultimate god level. This was Jackie’s greatest advantage.
“A total of five people have passed the challenge!” The old voice spoke again and instantly silenced
those who were still embroiled in chatters and gossip. “Those who’ve seeded shall continue to climb
up the Divine Void Slope! This time, you’ll be allowed to climb a hundred and eighty meters and arrive
before the sixth Divine Void Warrior!”
Everyone looked at the five challengers once the announcement was over. At this moment, Graham and
the others had almost recovered. All five of them wasted no time and immediately climbed forward. Out
of the 180 people there, only five of them were qualified at this moment. Everyone else looked at the final
five continuing their ascension as sadness, envy, and jealousy shed past their eyes.
Riv could not help butment, “This is really cruel. I thought that I’d be able to face the eighth Divine Void
Warrior no matter what, but I never thought I’d fail to even defeat the third warrior.”

Riv had never realized such a difference between his talents and the others. They were in the final stage
of the innate level, but the difference was vast. He could even imagine how the eldest disciple of the
Corpse Pavilion could kill him with a single attack. Riv was not the only one who felt this way as many of
those there also felt the same. They felt terrible, but there was nothing they could do.
Jackie walked calmly as he climbed toward the 180meter-point, one step after another. An extremely tall
Divine Void Warrior was already standing there, staring at him indifferently as if Jackie was the tiniest ant
in the world. It felt like he would disappear with a wave of the warrior’s hand.
It felt terrible to be stared at in such a way, but Jackie had already gotten used to it.
The Divine Void Slope was still covered by ayer of thin mist, and no one could even see clearly what
the slope was made of. The five of them were ced at five different positions and were a certain
distance from each other. Apart from Jackie, they were looking at each other. Finally, they arrived at the
180-meterposition 15 minutester. Those who turned around to look backward from this position finally
felt like they were able to see everything in a single nce. The n brothers that were eliminated
looked upward at them like little mice.

With the mechanism being activated, the sounds of cranks audible, the Divine Void Warrior started
moving. The warrior was still holding his weapon, but he raised his leg and was prepared to move to one
side, much to the five’s confusion. After all, the Divine Void Warriors they faced in the past would not
start attacking before they got ready. The five of them could not help but walk several steps backward.
The Divine Void Warriors ignored all five people and moved to the left in unison to move away from their
previous positions. As all five of them were wondering what the warriors wanted to do, they saw a red
light shing past them the next second. Another Divine Void Warrior appeared at the position the first
Divine Void Warrior moved away from.
Chapter 2272
Not only did a Divine Void Warrior appear right in front of them, but the same Divine Void Warrior
appeared on their left after the same red light shed past them. “Goodness… Three Divine Void
Warriors? What’s happening?” Before the five of them said anything, those standing underneath the
slope had already started to go crazy.
True enough, the challenges grew increasingly difficult, and now that three Divine Void Warriors
appeared at once, were each of them supposed to fight three warriors by themselves?
As they began to feel unsettled, the old voice once again appeared beside their ears. Each of you will
fight three Divine Void Warriors, all slightly stronger than the warriors you defeated during the second
challenge. However, these warriors also use the same martial skill, Dream Soul Swordsmanship.
Defeating all three Divine Void Warriors is equivalent to passing the sixth, seventh, and eighth
challenges!”
Once the announcement was over, the people standing at the bottom of the slope once again started
rambling
50 percent of them failed to carry out the third challenge, while 99 percent of them failed to pass the third
challenge. However, most of those standing at the bottom of the slope experienced the second
challenge, and the lingering fear toward the second challenge loomed in their hearts. Many of them were
defeated during the second challenge, and none of them could imagine that their sixth challenge was
four times more difficult than the second challenge.
Four times the difficulty was inurate, however, as the Divine Void Warriors standing in front of them
were stronger than those they faced during the second challenge. More importantly, they had to defeat
three at once! On top of that, the martial skill they used was the Dream Soul Swordsmanship! When they
attacked, they would be divided into two, and if they failed to defeat the second one soon after they
defeated the first one, the warriors would absorb the remaining power left behind by the first warrior.
The second warrior would replenish itself, and its power would double in an instant. This meant that once
they started fighting, each of them had to handle six Divine Void Warriors—all powerful beings, too!

“How are they supposed to defeat the warriors?” asked Riv, his mouth hanging open widely. Nelson also
smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Even if I pass the third challenge by force, I’d fail this challenge for
sure! It’s too difficult!” Nelson meant this from the bottom of his heart. Although he won easily during the
second challenge, he was facing a limited number of enemies. He did not have the certainty of winning if
he was asked to face six warriors at once!
The people standing at the bottom of the slope could not help but start mumbling.
“Do they even want them to let these people win the challenge? I feel that the difficulty set by this Divine
Void Slope is meant to make us stuck here so that nobody wins the challenge!”
“That’s right! Even if this fight represents the sixth, seventh, and eighth challenges, there’s still a ninth
challenge awaiting them. I wonder how difficult the ninth challenge is, seeing how difficult the previous
challenges were already. I’m scared to even think of the ninth challenge; I think that it’s almost
impossible toplete!”
The people standing at the bottom were extremely noisy while those five standing on the slope were in
peace. After some time, Benjamin was the first one to speak. “It’s quite challenging. Senior Brother
Graham, are… Are you confident?”
Graham nced at Benjamin. The two of them were chosen disciples directly trained by the Thousand
Leaves Pavilion. They were stronger and much more talented than usual disciples, and they also
understood each other’s strength well.
Benjamin was slightly uncertain as he faced the challenge that had doubled in difficulty. However, he felt
that Graham should be capable of passing the challenge. Graham exhaled and said. “Don’t go into the
fight thinking you’ll lose; this will weaken your momentum. You won’t win with that attitude!”
Benjamin nodded and kept quiet. The masked man nced at Lennon, the junior brother standing
beside him, without saying a word. Lennon was slightly nervous, but he understood his senior brother’s
temperament well. The masked man would not have blinked even if he died in front of the masked man.
“You look like you can always remain calm no matter what happens,” remarked the masked man as he
turned around to look at Jackie.
Jackie could not help but roll his eyes. This guy had always tried to cause him trouble, no matter where
he was. He seemed to revel whenever Jackie was in any form of issue.
Chapter 2273
“Can you stop talking?” grumbled Jackie. No matter what, their rtionship was especially acrimonious,
and nothing good would happen even if he spoke nicely. This was why Jackie decided to not let this guy
get used to doing this.
The masked man’s face darkened as Jackie spoke against him. He was so angry that he almost choked.
“B*stard! Just wait and see! Don’t think that you’re safe just because I can’t do anything to you right now!
Jackie chuckled and replied nonchntly, “Then I’ll be waiting for whatever you’ll do. I just hope that you
don’t beg me to forgive you in tears when we get to that point.”
The masked man was so angry that his hands trembled when he heard this. Graham and the others
even looked toward Jackie in surprise; even he dared not speak to the masked man with such an
attitude. After all, there were certain things he had to do in order to maintain their superficial rtionship.
Was Jackie not afraid that the masked man would try everything in his power to kill him after he spoke so
definitively? Graham grew increasingly curious when he saw how calm Jackie was, but the argument did
not continue.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of sharp knives being unsheathed could be heard by all five of them, and they turned to look
toward where the sound came from at the same time. All five Divine Void Warriors standing in front of
them released a bright red light from their eyes at the same time, bright like the sun. All three Divine Void
Warriors standing in front of each person pulled their weapons out at the same time. It was still a sword
that was three meters long, but this time, the sword was not covered in a purple light. Instead, the sword
was surrounded by ayer of intense red color, and it looked like the sun was burning.
“It’sing!” Nelson looked upward and lowered his voice as he spoke. The people standing at the
bottom of the slope started to get nervous. This was going to be a very intense battle, and they had no
idea if any of them would be able to pass the challenge.
“Senior Brother Graham will pass the challenge, for sure!” eximed one of the Thousand Leaves
Pavilion’s disciples. The Corpse Pavilion’s disciples did not wish to be outdone and started shouting that
their eldest senior brother would win when they saw that the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciples were
working so hard. They even shouted that Senior Brother Lennon would also win. The sounds of people
cheering could be hearding from the bottom of the slope, and it shook the earth. However, this did
not affect the mentality of those five people standing on the slope.
Jackie restrained all his thoughts as he stared at the three Divine Void Warriors in front of him. The
warrior in the middle moved, and he swung the red knife in his hands, rushing forward like a cannonball.
The two other Divine Void Warriors followed after the first warrior as they rushed to attack Jackie.
The same happened to all five of them, and those standing at the bottom of the slope saw everything
that happened. The crowd inhaled deeply as things were happening just as they imagined. The three
warriors attacked in a semi-surrounding manner so that the five of them did not have a chance of
avoiding the attack!
Jackie frowned and continuously performed seals with his hands. The grayish-ck seals formed in his
palms, and within the blink of an eye, all 35 soul swords appeared in his palms. The 35 soul swords
exuded energy that looked like mist.
At this moment, the Divine Void Warriors that came rushing toward him were covered in a red light in mid
-air. The next second, the three warriors separated into six warriors. Six identical Divine Void Warriors
held onto the same red sword as they aimed for the center of Jackie’s head!
Chapter 2274
Jackie put his hands together, and the 35 soul swords floating in his palms immediatelybined into
three. Three huge soul swords floated three meters In front of Jackie, and a sharp look shed past his
eyes.
The old announcer mentioned that the Divine Void Warriors were stronger than the warriors he faced
during the second challenge. Although they were not very much stronger, it was no longer realistic to
handle all six of them with the previous strategy he used. He had to defeat half of them first!
Once again, he performed the seals with his hands, and the grayish-ck seals instantly merged with
the huge soul sword in front of him. The soul sword was like a cannon ready to beunched. With a
swing, the huge soul sword rushed toward the Divine Void Warrior. Both parties moved speedily and
rammed into each other before Jackie managed to take his second breath.
With a loud bang, the red light and the grayish-ck soul sword collided with each other heavily. At that
moment, the ck and red colors blended together.
All of a sudden, with the sound of something creaking, the red beam seemed to falter.
Jackie only focused on attacking those three Divine Void Warriors, and the remaining three were still
rushing toward Jackie without hesitation. Jackie’s energy had been exhausted, and his new energy had
not been replenished.
The remaining three Divine Void Warriors were right before him, and a gust of strong windnded on
Jackie’s face. This was the energy wind aroused by a martial skill before the skill came attacking at him.
Jackie could have very well suffered tremendously had the attack hit him squarely.
At this moment, Jackie’s eyes were bloodshot, and those three Divine Void Warriors had already turned
into three bundles of red light. They arrived within three meters of Jackie’s surroundings at a speed
invisible to the naked eye. He could even see the sharp edges of the knives illuminated by the red light.
All three Divine Void Warriors acted simultaneously, using a semi-encirclement attack and blocking all
possible escape routes Jackie had.
The people standing at the bottom of the slope were In an instant uproar when they saw this scene;
Jackie was sure to lose if he failed to prevent this attack. After all, his strength was limited, and he was
completely defeated during the first attack. He was fortunate to arrive at this challenge and fought with
the four other masters. If the martial skill he practiced did not happen to suppress the corpse puppets, he
would have been eliminated a long time ago.
On top of that, he was not the most careful when he attacked the warriors. The Divine Void Warriors had
increased from three to six, but he managed to onlybat three. Did he think that the remaining three
would not attack him after he defeated the first three of them? Such a method of confrontation proved his
lack of experience inbat. Anybody who experienced several serious battles would not make such a
decision and allow themselves tond in this unresolvable dilemma.
Griffin harrumphed coldly. “He’s done for this time!”
Griffin, however, discovered that Jackie was no longer where he stood at that very second. A second
later, he heard a loud explosion, and the attacks from the three Divine Void Warriors mmed to the
vacant spot where Jackie had stood.
He had disappeared into thin air.
Griffin could clearly hear the deep inhalesing from around him and his own pounding heartbeat.”
Impossible! How did he disappear?!” growled Griffin’s hoarsely, his disappointment and anger evident.
Chapter 2275 Griffin was disappointed that Jackie managed to evade the attack and was enraged that
Jackie was able to continue fighting
Jackie once again appeared right after his remark, though he did not stand in his initial position. Instead,
he moved ten meters away in a sh and appeared behind the attacking three Divine Void Warriors.
Whoosh!
The huge soul sword that was fighting against the three Divine Void Warriorspletely swallowed the
red light. The grayish-ck sharp sword acted as if it came from an abyss as it broke through the attack
and defense of the first three Divine Void Warriors. The sword pierced through the bodies of the three
Divine Void Warriors within the blink of an eye. As the three huge soul swords pierced through their
bodies, the first three Divine Void Warriors instantly turned into red specks of light and floated in midair.
Jackie exhaled deeply as he stared at the red specks present after he defeated the first three Divine Void
Warriors. He knew that if he did not wipe out the remaining three warriors, these red specks would be
absorbed by the warriors to strengthen themselves. Jackie dared not waste any time. He roared lowly
and once again performed the grayish-ck seals with his hands. The seals integrated themselves with
those three huge soul swords used to kill the first three Divine Void Warriors speedily.
All three huge soul swords released a bright ckish ray of light. Jackie took a ck sword out of the
Mustard Seed at this moment. This sword achieved great things when they were in the blood world, and
Jackie felt extremely confident now that he had the sword in his hands.
All three huge soul swords immediately rushed toward Jackie as if their souls had been summoned after
Jackie took out the ck sword. Within the blink of an eye, all three huge soul swords melted on the
ck sword like snow melting under the hot sun. The ck sword immediately looked like it was covered
in ayer of grayish-ck halo, and mist of the same color surrounded the sharp edge of the knife. It was
as if a ck-colored fire was surging from it.
At this moment, those red sparks rushed toward the remaining three Divine Void Warriors speedily as if
they had been summoned. Jackie grew taut like a tight rope as he activated thews of space and once
again disappeared from where he was.
He had to kill the remaining three Divine Void Warrior before those red sparks arrived!
At this moment, a loud cry of distress could be heard by his ear. A person flew across the air like a kite
with a broken string beforending heavily far away, Jackie was in no mood to see who had been sent
flying away, however, as his eyes were trained solely on the three Divine Void Warriors like an eagle.
He waved his sword, and thebined power of those 35 swords was swung forward by the ck
sword. A suffocating wave of spirit energy immediatelynded on the Divine Void Warrior nearest to
Jackie. Originally, 11 soul swords were sufficient to kill one Divine Void Warrior, what more the power of
35 soul swordsbined into one.
Swoosh!
The ck sword’s momentum did not weaken after It cut through the red sword. In the blink of an eye,
the ck sword had sliced the Divine Void Warrior into two. The warrior instantly exploded into specks of
red lights!N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
After killing one, Jackie gritted his teeth as he attacked the second Divine Void Warrior, who sped toward
him at the same time. The sound of weapons shing against one another could be heard as the red
and ck swords collided with one another. An unstoppable wave of energy immediately exploded, and
Jackie broke the red knife into pieces.
The Divine Void Warrior quickly moved backward, but Jackie did not n to provide him with any
chances to retreat and attack again. He pounced forward again like a famished eagle who had not
feasted on meat for ten days.
Chapter 2276 With another sh of the sword, the second Divine Warriorpletely disintegrated into
spots of red light. In a sh, only one Divine Warrior was left next to Jackie.
This time, Jackie was not fast enough. That Divine Warrior had already absorbed the red spots from the
Divine Warriors that died earlier. The Divine Warrior’s strength suddenly increased dramatically.
Jackie swept his divine senses around as he began to make estimations. The Divine Warrior before him
had strengthened by roughly a third. After his attacks, the third Divine Warrior once again put Jackie on
the defensive.
This time, Jackie was calm as usual. The space under his feet started to distort again as he retreated 5
meters back, and this gave him enough time to catch his breath. As he took a deep breath, he started to
use Destroying the Void again.
When the third Divine Warrior rushed at him, he raised his sword to attack once more.
After five breaths, a sound reverberated throughout, and the final Divine Warrior disappeared under
Jackie’s ck de.
The others were not done with their battles yet, and the energy fluctuations from their own battles turned
into gentle breezes after being weakened by the spatial wall. The wind brushed against Jackie’s body,
and his hair fluttered with the gust.
His right hand held the de as he stood still like a tree that would never fall for ten thousand years. He
stood right in front, and all the Divine Warriors were already dead. He had no more obstacles in front of
him, and he could continue going upward. This time, he would arrive right at the 823-meter-range, where
thest Divine Warrior was.
After going through the obstacles nned by thest Divine Warrior, he would reach the peak of the
Divine Void Slope and face the final battle.
Of course, that was contingent on others being able to reach the final stage like he did!
“He won! He actually… won! He killed three Divine Warriors.” Those at the 274-meter mark gaped at the
sight. Shock was no longer enough to describe what they felt at the moment.
Only Jackie’s immense strength allowed him to continue climbing.
They had thought that Jackie was not qualified and that his luck would notst, yet every judgment they
lay on seemed toe back at them like a vicious p on their faces.
Skilless? Luck? Did he really pass the third stage by sheer luck?
What about the other four who had yet to win? What about them?
Those people no longer knew what to say. They were already sure in their hearts that Jackie absolutely
did not have that skill, that he was not worthy of standing alongside the other four.
Everything that happened earlier was right before their eyes. Jackie fought quickly and decisively, and he
had a strange movement technique that helped him escape danger numerous times.
He broke through the attacks and defenses of the three Divine Warriors in one move, and after he
avoided their attacks, he easily killed the three warriors.
They had thought that Jackie’s inexperience in battle had caused him to fall into a disadvantage, yet
Jackie seemed to have already known what to do, and had quickly dealt with the battle without dy.
Those Divine Warriors that feel so unbeatable to them went down like paper before him!
Chapter 2277 “Jackie seems far too strong. Compared to him, I’m nothing! Even facing just one Divine
Warrior, I had to use my true energy to kill it, yet he fought three at once and didn’t seem to use too much
of his strength! Comparing myself to others will really be the death of me.”
“That’s right. I thought that this brat was only lucky to be able to get to this point, and he’s only at the
intermediate stage of the innate level!”
The fact that Jackie was only at the intermediate stage of the innate level turned into their biggest point
of confusion in understanding Jackie’s true strength. After all, all of them were already at thete stage,
thus those in the intermediate stage should have been weaker than them.
Shockingly, Jackiepletely changed everyone’s view. They no longer dared to look down upon
anyone at that level.
Griffin and Theo glowered at this. Everything they had dismissed as luck earlier had turned into sore
spots. Jackie was strong-stronger than any of them.
If they had been in Jackie’s position, they would probably only have been able tost a few breaths
before being surrounded and killed by the Divine Warriors. There was no second option!
“How could this be? He’s so strong!” Griffin’s lips quivered, his voice raspy with exhaustion.
Jackie shocked him far too much. Griffin’s confidence had been shattered again and again by Jackie,
leaving him nothing but an empty vessel, unable to do anything.
Theo’s face looked even worse than Griffin’s. He was someone who always sought benefits. For the
sake of the masked man, he had hid the true reason for his fellow disciple’s death and insulted Jackie
with the masked man.
Of course, he did so also because he was afraid of the strength of the masked man. At this point,
however, he realized that Jackie, who he kept on targeting, was just as powerful as the masked man. He
was no match for Jackie, and going up against Jackie was his greatest miscalction.
Remembering the way Jackie looked at him, Theo felt a chill in his heart. Jackie would not let him off,
and Jackie would surely kill him when given the chance!
Nelson looked at Jackie with a glint in his eyes, hismenting already enough to fill up a whole bucket.
He had thought that Jackie was a junior he needed to protect, yet Jackie was just as strong as direct
disciples from fourth-grade ns.
No wonder Jackie had ignored Griffin from the start and had been so rude. He had the skills and could
walk the talk!
Those from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion had the mostplicated feelings about it. Other than Jackie
himself, not one of the 20 disciples from the sect thought that Jackie would be able to reach that stage
and be so strong.
Riv muttered to himself, “If I recall… Didn’t he just start studying under the elder? He was even an outer
disciple before.”
Others did not know of Jackie’s growth, but the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples did. Jackie had just
been an insignificant outer disciple before that, even if he was ranked decently among them.
They clearly remembered the Eleventh Elder picking out a disciple back then, and how intense the
reaction had been when the Eleventh Elder picked Jackie. All of them said that Jackie was not worthy of
being under an elder and that the elder should have chosen an internal disciple.
At this point, it looked like their opinions back then were a joke. Even the first ce among the chosen
disciples would probably not be able to stand up against Jackie. Furthermore, Jackie was only at the
intermediate stage of the innate level.
“Fiend!” Nelson spat out what he felt in his heart.
At the 549-meter-mark, Jackie turned back and looked at the heavily injured Lennon. The figure that was
sent flying earlier was precisely Lennon, who had already been eliminated, and was sitting cross legged.
Lennon being the first to be eliminated was within Jackie’s expectations, because he was the weakest
among the five of them. Even Benjamin was slightly stronger.
Chapter 2278 Lennon seemed to have felt Jackie’s gaze. Lennon abruptly looked up, and when he saw
Jackie calmly looking at him, Lennon felt like he had been pped on the face a few times.
He wanted to say something to protect his dignity, but no words came out of his mouth. All he could do
was hold back the burning feeling in his stomach, suffering without anything to retort with.
Before he saw everything for himself, Lennon would still have had the guts to shout back at Jackie’s
gaze, That was no longer the case since Jackie’s skills were on full disy.
The sound of close quarterbat could be heard, and Jackie did not even need to turn around to know
that the battles of the other three were already reaching a conclusion.
“Ack, ack!” Benjamin spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes reddening as he reached his limits. He had
used up all the strength he had but only managed to kill three Divine Warriors.
If he tried to force it, he would only injure himself more. There were no miracles to be seen, so he
shouted out with a heart full of reluctance, “I surrender!
His reluctance was pointless. The truth was right in front of him, and there was nothing he could do to
change it. When Benjamin shouted out those words, the red sword that was aimed at Benjamin stopped,
and a vibrant red light fell on Benjamin’s body. The battle was over, and Benjamin was eliminated.
Jackie let out a sigh, not even looking at what was happening around him. He increased his speed as he
set his eyes on the 823-meter-area, walking up step by step.
Jackie walked with a carefree stride, not thinking about what was happening around him at all. His
actions rendered many speechless. Everyone had thought that Jackie would wait for everyone else’s
battles to end before returning the insults they had hurled at him several fold.
Regardless of what had been said, Jackie should still have returned the favor…yet it seemed like Jackie
did not care at all.
The 823-meter area appeared in front of Jackie. A Divine Warrior appeared in front of him just like
before. He used the same gaze to look at Jackie, as if it did not matter what level of skill Jackie was at
when standing in front of a Divine Warrior.
Even though he did not look back, he could still feel the gazes on him. He raised his head and looked
forward. The peak of the Divine Void Slope was captured in his eyes. A white glow epassed the
peak of the Divine Void Slope, which was probably the reward for the victor.
Eighth-grade pills and Seventh-grade spirited grasses were just the least of the treasures. There were
still countless valuable things there. Thinking of this, Jackie could not help but recall the sneaking
question that had been in his mind the whole way.
The Secret ce for Resources undoubtedly had close ties with the Divine Void Slope. The series of
tests seemed to be aimed at picking an inheritor, and their conditions seemed very clear: they wanted
someone with strong spiritual or martial arts training.
Even though those people from before kept running their mouths and ended up being caught by surprise
by his skill, he still had to say that he was very lucky. Those tests so far seemed tailor-made for him.
If it had not been for that, it would have been much more difficult for him to reach where he was.
Just as his thoughts wandered, a faint shout came from below him.
Jackie subconsciously turned around to look. The masked man had just taken down thest Divine
Warrior with a sh!
The red lights were swallowed by dark purplish lightning, and thest Divine Warrior turned into spots of
red light, dispersing into the air.
The masked man’s right hand was slightly trembling, his breath erratic after using a lot of his true energy.
The masked man struggled to stand up straight, and his eyes were like a crescent moon, exuding a cold
and arrogant glow.
Chapter 2279
He won! The masked man had passed this stage, too! His lips curled up slightly, feeling rather pleased
with himself
The masked man had put his full focus on the battle earlier, so he did not know what was happening
around him at all. He had no clue who was eliminated and who had seeded.
However, all of that was not important to the masked man at all. He refused to believe that there was
anyone else who could possiblyplete the task before he did.
He let out a coldugh, thinking to himself that Jackie was just a piece of trash who happened to be
lucky Graham was a little skilled but was still not at his level. The other two were not worth mentioning,
since they barely passed the third stage.
Thinking about that, he smiled as he turned his head around. He saw Lennon and Benjamin both
surrounded by red glows, and he immediately knew that they had been eliminated just as he expected.
The two of them had a strange look on their faces. Why were they looking at the peak of the slope with a
look of anger and helplessness, but also with a trace of eptance?
Were they reluctant to ept the fact that they were already eliminated from getting the rewards?
However, those thoughts did notst long, because he noticed that Jackie had disappeared. The masked
man was someone incredibly self-centered and had a big ego. He did not care much even for his fellow
disciples.
However, he cared particrly for that brat under whom he had suffered from multiple times. He wanted
nothing more than to have Jackie at the bottom of his feet, begging for his life.
When he saw that Jackie was not around, the masked man immediately looked around. Jackie was
nowhere behind or below…so where did he go?
Those thoughts did not dwell in his mind for too long when he felt something wrong. He followed
Benjamin’s and Lennon’s gazes up 91 meters further on the slope. Jackie was standing there,
unmovingly.
He… was already at the next spot!
How could Jackie already be at the 823-meter mark? What was he? Did he pass? How could he have
passed? He had actually reached the next stage first!
Those thoughts yed in the masked man’s head, causing him to lose control of his expressions. He
looked like an angered lion and his breath became erratic, looking like he wanted to kill someone.
“How could this be! How did he do that?!”
Those words came out of clenched teeth, and his voice was incredibly hoarse.
When Lennon heard the masked man’s roar, his expression froze. He naturally knew of the grudge his
senior had with Jackie. With Jackie beating the masked man at every corner, it was no surprise that he
was angered.
Lennon gulped subconsciously, carefully saying, “He … He ran very quickly and avoided many attacks.
After that…”
After that, he killed the six warriors and passed.
Of course, he did not dare to utter thest words. He was worried that the masked man would tear him
apart if he did. To calm the masked man, he was forced to stammer out that Jackie had run away very
quickly.
However, those words did nothing to console the masked man. The masked man was already thoroughly
crazed at that moment. He had been pushed back by Jackie at every angle. Ever since he was born, he
had been a master among masters and was never behind everyone.
How could he not explode being beaten again and again by Jackie like that?
Chapter 2280
For a moment, all the masked man could feel was his anger boiling. It seemed like there was a volcano
erupting in his heart, and theva hadpletely drowned all sense of reasoning he had. Lennon was
scared pale.
There were constant struggles within the Corpse Pavilion itself, and their schemes were much more
intense than regr ns. For the masked man to have been able to stand at the top like that, how
could he not be ruthless? There must have been countless Corpse Pavilion disciples that have died in
his hands.
Lennon might have a certain amount of talent as well, but he was nothingpared to the masked man.
He very clearly remembered that the masked man had already entered the spring solidifying realm.
However, to head into the Hidden ce for Resources, he had to suppress his level.
Even after going through so many hoops, he did not gain any advantages. It was definitely a huge blow
to the masked man’s mental state.
“You… Just you wait!”
Those words were uttered by the masked man through clenched teeth. His eyes reddened as he
viciously red at Jackie’s straightened back.
“Ugh…” Graham spat out a mouthful of blood. He knelt on the floor with one leg as the final Divine
Warrior was finally defeated. He let out a long breath as he pushed down the true energy that was
activated in his body.
He passed!
After spitting out that mouthful of blood, he felt much better despite his depleted strength. Ever since
started walking up the Divine Void Slope, he had been fighting the whole way. Even though he did sit and
rest asionally, he was still in a fatigued state.
It had been an intense battle, and Graham could feel his blood curdling. He had some internal injuries
but could still keep them under wraps. After he stood up, he heard a congrattory voice,
“Congrattions for passing, Graham.”
He did not even need to turn around to know that Benjamin was the one who said that. He took a deep
breath as he nodded. He then stood up and looked right over to the masked man. The masked man
seemed like he was in a state of rage and was panting in anger.
Graham frowned, not understanding why he acted in such a way. When Benjamin saw Graham’s
confusion, he stammered, “Graham, look up.”
Graham looked up, just as Benjamin told him to, and noticed the green-robed man standing quietly at the
823-meter mark like an immovable rock.
Graham was stunned, and he suddenly turned his head. He looked at Benjamin, who was still shrouded
In a red glow, and when Benjamin nodded reluctantly, Graham immediately understood.
He did not think too much of Jackie since he bore no grudges against the guy. Even though Jackie had
been neck-to-neck with him the whole way, he had never really bothered with Jackie.
Before the sixth stage started, he had agreed with the others that Jackie was just lucky to reach that
state. Even though luck was important, skill was still what determined victory in the end.
Without skill, he would not have gone far and would have been eliminated at this stage. However, Jackie
was already at the 823 meter mark faster than they were. That was definitely a blow to those who looked
down on Jackie.
“How did he do it… How!!” Graham’s tone was low as he blurted that incredulously. His entire body
trembled when he recalled that the guy was only at the intermediate level of the innate stage.
Even though he had no grudges against Jackie, he was still filled with dissatisfaction and anger, feeling
like he had been beaten by someone beneath him.
The masked man heard Graham’s mutters, and his light tone was full of unrestrained anger, “This brat is
very durable and much stronger than you, so how could that not be possible?”
He nned on igniting Graham and Jackie’s rtionship.
