Volume 1 Chapter 563 Loess Warrior
Should there be lava bubbles coming out from the lava road? When it collapsed, some flames would burst out. The temperature of the flames was even a little higher than the flames used by the Fire Sage. With a glance, the surrounding s.p.a.ce was twisted by the burning flames.
Kong Yun stepped forward, and the metal beneath his feet let out a sizzling sound. He could clearly feel that the metal beneath his feet had faintly melted when it came into contact with the magma road.
With the metal conducting heat, Kong Yun had to form a layer of green metal between his feet and alloy shoes. His feet were burned under the high temperature, and the green metal quickly released its life force to repair the scald on his feet.
Although Kong Yun still felt unbearable pain under the scorching heat, he did not cause any substantial damage to his body. He did not discover any other dangers. This trial should be an existence that tempered his will. As long as he could endure the scorching pain from his feet, he would be able to reach the end of the magma road.
"I wonder if Xue Ren will be able to persevere."
In Kong Yun"s eyes, Shi Xueren had always been a little girl who valued wealth as her life. She was not someone who could endure hardships. The high temperature of this magma road was something that even he couldn"t bear, let alone her.
Kong Yun continuously circulated his metal ability, directly using his secret technique, the Mountain Radiance King Curse, to strengthen the defenses beneath his feet.
After blessing the Immovable Mountain King Curse, he temporarily stopped the melting of the alloy beneath his feet.
Inflammation entered his body through the Yongquan acupoint at the sole of his feet, rampaging through his body. Not only did Kong Yun need to circulate his metal ability to maintain the defense of the alloy shoes, he also needed to use the power of the universe in his mind to deal with the flame power that had entered his body and destroyed the rings.
Make sufficient preparations for every step you take, or else you will be devoured by the blazing flames on the lava road if you don"t take a good step.
Kong Yun carefully maintained his defense. Even if the flame power in his body was blocked, the burning pain caused by the flame power could only be forcefully suppressed. There was no way to eliminate it.
He didn"t know how long it had been since he had experienced such a degree of pain, but there was no smooth path for him to cultivate. From Earth to the main universe, he had cultivated step by step to the realm of the universe"s major powers with his own efforts. He had suffered countless hardships, and today, there was no need to worry about these pains.
Fire Purgatory was different from the previous checkpoint. As long as one could endure the baking of the magma path and endure the inhuman pain, they would be able to reach the end of the magma path.
This path of magma was like Kong Yun"s path of cultivation. Every step he took was extremely arduous, but every step he took was something he had comprehended.
Kong Yun walked resolutely to the end of the lava road. The light door stood there, and his feet were baked red by the lava road, unable to recover for a long time.
He didn"t know what the next Earth Purgatory was like. He had to expel the flame power from his body in the Fire Purgatory. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to separate the excess energy from the next trial.
However, this Five Elements Purgatory was somewhat unworthy of its name. At the very least, only the first and fourth stages made him feel like he was in purgatory. He hoped that the next stage would not disappoint him.
The flame power in his body was completely clear under the influence of the power of the universe. His body finally regained its normal temperature, and it was time for him to head towards the final stage.
He stepped into the door of light and his eyes were filled with the color of loess, just like the endless sea of water purgatory. The loess here was also boundless, and he couldn"t see the boundaries. He didn"t know what kind of test it was this time.
Just like before, he didn"t even know the secrets of this checkpoint if he didn"t go inside.
Kong Yun strode towards the center of the land without the slightest fear of unknown dangers. The Five Elements Purgatory in the Martial Mirror wouldn"t make it impossible for anyone to clear. As long as they were careful, there would always be room for them to clear the Five Elements Purgatory, and they wouldn"t let anyone who partic.i.p.ated in the trial die.
As he walked forward, the surrounding land began to rustle, and the surface of the ground around Kong Yun began to tremble.
Kong Yun watched his surroundings vigilantly, forming a metal shield around him to protect him.
Soil bags slowly bulged on the ground. A dozen or so loess warriors wearing battle armor crawled out from the ground. After the loess warriors had completely crawled out, the deep pits that should have appeared on the ground were filled with the surrounding loess.
All the Loess Warriors looked at Kong Yun aggressively. Although the attack power of the Earth Element was not high, the Earth Element was resistant to being beaten. Moreover, with so many of them, even the G.o.ds and Immortals would not be able to withstand it.
Kong Yun tightened his grip on the Lightning Tribulation Sword in his hand. These loess warriors looked extremely mighty. Their battle armor was definitely made of rocks in the depths of the earth, and they didn"t seem to be any weaker than his metal defenses.
The Loess Warrior was only a synonym given to him by Kong Yun. From the looks of it, this equipment was definitely a n.o.ble below the earth. It was simply not something that Loess could describe.
However, this battle was not easy to fight. Seeing that the Loess Warriors were merely putting on an offensive posture, the might on their bodies had already appeared. As he had expected, these Loess Warriors were all the same as him. They were all universe major powers.
"It"s interesting to have more than one opponent. We"re starting to beat the natives!"
Although Kong Yun was very cautious, he wasn"t worried about the situation in front of him. These loess warriors didn"t have their own intelligence, so if they wanted to compete with others, they would definitely be much weaker. Not to mention, Kong Yun was even a bit more powerful than ordinary cosmic warriors.
"I hope you won"t disappoint me."
Without waiting for the loess warriors to make a move, Kong Yun took the lead and rushed forward with his sword.
The moment Kong Yun made a move, all the Loess Warriors were instantly activated. They also took their weapons and roared at Kong Yun.
In an instant, the entire s.p.a.ce was filled with loess. The warriors composed of these Earth Elements looked incomparably heroic.
Kong Yun was not afraid at all. He held his sword in one hand and turned into a huge metal blade in the other as he charged towards these loess warriors. He moved back and forth like a meat grinder among these loess warriors.
Although these loess warriors were all powerful beings of the universe, with Kong Yun"s strength, killing them was like chopping a melon and cutting vegetables. The first strike landed on the armor of the loess warriors, and the armor split apart. Then, the metal blade in his left hand slashed into the crack, directly splitting the loess warriors into two halves.
Although there would still be attacks on Kong Yun"s body, these attacks were basically neutralized by the metal shield and did not cause any damage to Kong Yun.
Not long after, the dozen or so loess warriors in battle armor were dismembered by Kong Yun like he was cutting melons and vegetables, and their bodies were covered in loess.
He was tired, but this challenge wasn"t difficult at all. Kong Yun suspected that the fifth stage of the Purgatory was a decoration. It was purely for fun. After all, these dozen Loess Warriors weren"t difficult at all for the geniuses who had partic.i.p.ated in the Seventh Mother"s banquet.
"Could it be that the previous trials were too BT, so they came out of the welfare trials?"
Kong Yun secretly cursed himself. The first few trials seemed to be a bit too detailed. If it weren"t for his Lightning Tribulation Sword and metal ability cheating, he definitely wouldn"t have been able to pa.s.s the first few trials so easily.
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the ground, and all the broken bodies were devoured by the earth. Not long after, the places where the broken bodies disappeared rumbled.
Dozens of arms stretched out from the ground, and the intact Loess Warriors crawled out of the ground again. It was obvious that the number of Loess Warriors was several times that of the first time they appeared.
Moreover, the auras of the dozens of new loess warriors were clearly stronger than the ones that had appeared for the first time.
Kong Yun thought for a moment. These loess warriors roughly corresponded to the remnant limbs he had chopped off earlier. These loess warriors could split apart!
He couldn"t help but feel a little afraid. If he had been a little more ruthless earlier and smashed these loess warriors into pieces, then the second batch of loess warriors would probably have appeared more than this.
If he could barely defeat these people in front of him, if hundreds of them appeared in a flash, he would definitely end up being hacked to death by a random knife after exhaustion.
Since he knew the mechanism of this trial, he had to find a way to solve it. If he rushed forward, these loess warriors would have to double in number no matter what. At that time, it would be really hard to fight.
These loess warriors crawled out of the ground, and he could clearly see that scene. The earth swallowed the remains of the first batch of loess warriors before crawling out of the second batch.
"Cut off the connection between the earth and these loess warriors!"
If the connection between them was severed, the earth would not be able to devour the remnants of these loess warriors. This way, these remnants would not be devoured by the earth, nor would they split into more loess warriors.
As for those loess warriors who had been cut in half, without the help of the Earth Force, they were naturally no different from ordinary clumps of earth and could not pose any threat.
Kong Yun released the metal ability from his body through his feet. A thin but extremely tough layer of metal covered the ground around Kong Yun and slowly extended into the distance.
Not long after, this layer of metal covered Kong Yun"s entire radius of one mile. These revived Loess warriors were still fearless enough to return towards Kong Yun, and the Loess Saber was about to slash towards Kong Yun"s head.
With this metal barrier, Kong Yun felt relieved. As long as these natives weren"t absorbed by the earth after being beaten to death by him, he would be able to let go of his hands and feet and fight.
This time, Kong Yun still didn"t hold back. He would never strike a second time if he could move a single blade. This way, even if his metal barrier was ineffective, the number of Loess Warriors would only double at most. He wouldn"t be completely unable to deal with it, and he would have another chance.
Kong Yun"s momentum was so heavy that he sliced the Loess Warrior in front of him in half from head to toe, then turned around to deal with the next Loess Warrior.
After the number of loess warriors increased, the attacks came from all directions. It was inevitable that there would be places that could not be defended. Kong Yun could only form a thin layer of defense on the surface of his body, resisting the defenses that were not blocked.
This loess warrior"s strength was also extraordinary. Kong Yun"s back was almost forked by a punch. He then turned around and slashed the loess warrior in half.
