My Golden Void Sword’s power has been reduced to that of Level 5-

Jiang Chengxuan was in disbelief.

Not only were his divine sense and Dharmic power weakened by the rules of this place, but even his Dharmar treasures were restricted.

It seemed that all spells and divine powers would similarly be affected.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately raised his hand and grabbed at

the air.

There was a clang.

A long saber that was suffused with green light was grabbed out of the void.

Then, he slashed forward gently.

There was a ripping sound.

There was a tearing sound.

Sparks flew once again from the tail of the centipede.

As expected, the potency of my divine powers has also been reduced to Level 5.

No wonder this place could only allow Soul Formation cultivators to enter.

Even Soul Formation cultivators were already affected like this.

If Nascent Soul or even Golden Core cultivators were to enter, they’d likely be demoted several realms in an instant.

Given the current situation, if Nascent Soul cultivators were to enter, their strength might be reduced to Violet Palace.

Golden Core cultivators would fare even worse, potentially regressing to mere

Qi Refinement.

How could those at Qi Refinement or Violet Palace possibly survive in such a

place?

It’s unthinkable.

Seeing the centipede’s increasingly ferocious aura, with the rest of its body emerging from the desert beyond its tail, it was evident that the creature was a hundred meters long.

Its blood-red eyes glinted with brutality and greed as it lunged directly at Jiang

Chengxuan.

“You’re courting death!”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.

He raised his hand to form a spell.

There was a buzz.

The Golden Void Sword, which was clashing with the centipede’s tail, suddenly brightened intensely.

Swoosh!

A piercing screech suddenly filled the air.

Then, the Golden Void Sword transformed into a streak of golden light, tipped with flickers of golden flame.

It pierced through the tail of the centipede in a flash, continuing forward and finally emerging from the creature’s mouth with a swoosh.

ROAR!

Struck so heavily, the enormous centipede twisted in agony.

Its body, initially lunging towards Jiang Chengxuan, recoiled and thrashed wildly on the sandy ground.

Thick streams of purplish-black blood oozed from its body, soaking the ground and emitting a corrosive hissing sound.

Jiang Chengxuan watched for a moment before making his move.

With one swift action, his Azure Emperor’s Heaven-Slaying Saber pa.s.sed through the creature’s head, ending its suffering.

He had to admit, the centipede was incredibly powerful at the Nascent Soul level. But it met its match in him.

If it were anyone else, they might really suffer a huge loss without knowing the

exact situation here.

After collecting some useful materials from the centipede, Jiang Chengxuan was about to leave the area when suddenly, a system notification echoed in his mind.

[Ding.]

[System mission issued. Host, please complete the achievement of killing level

5 demon beasts a thousand times.]

[Current Progress: 1/1000]

Huh?

Surprised by this sudden system prompt, Jiang Chengxuan was momentarily

taken aback.

What was going on?

Why would the system issue such a task out of the blue?

Even in the outside world, accomplishing the feat of slaying a thousand Level 5 demon beasts would be a tall order, let alone here. Could it be…?

Wait!

A realization struck him, and his pupils constricted slightly.

Could it be that this place contained more than a thousand Level 5 demon beasts?

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the ground beneath him began to shake violently.

A ma.s.sive cloud of dust erupted in the air ahead, and seven or eight centipedes, each with countless legs, appeared before Jiang Chengxuan.

So it really was…?

Jiang Chengxuan’s heart tensed.

If this was indeed the case, were others in this place experiencing the same encounters as him?

And just how many demon beasts had Sage Dragonmaster brought here?

As he pondered, Jiang Chengxuan found himself clashing with the group of centipedes.

Fortunately, although Jiang Chengxuan’s Dharma powers, divine powers, and divine sense were all suppressed by the rules here, his physical strength remained unaffected, maintaining its peak condition.

With such physical prowess, completing the system’s task seemed feasible, a.s.suming there were indeed enough Level 5 demon beasts to hunt. Otherwise, he could only consider completing this mission after leaving this place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a moment.

The seven to eight centipede demon beasts that appeared in front of him were killed by Jiang Chengxuan one by one.

ROAR!

However, just after he killed those seven or eight centipede demon beasts, from beneath the desert, yet another fifteen or sixteen of them emerged.

After Jiang Chengxuan dealt with these fifteen or sixteen centipedes, surprisingly, another twenty centipede demon beasts appeared from under the desert.

It seemed like an endless cycle – as soon as one group was killed, another appeared.

Indeed.

In just a few hours, the number of centipede demon beasts killed by Jiang

Chengxuan had reached six to seven hundred.

By this time, if he hadn’t noticed something abnormal, it would have meant he was too slow to react.

To be precise, the first hundred centipede demon beasts he killed could be considered genuine demon beasts.

However, the centipedes that appeared afterward, while indistinguishable from real demon beasts, lacked the spiritual fluctuations of Level 5 demon beasts.

Simply put, the centipedes that appeared after the first hundred only had the strength of Level 5 demon beasts but not the corresponding realm.

It was as if they were cloned creatures.

These posed a threat to Nascent Soul cultivators, but the degree of danger was noticeably reduced compared to the earlier centipedes.

Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t sure what was going on, but since they kept appearing, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to complete the system task.

After a few more hours, the number of centipede demon beasts Jiang Chengxuan had killed had astonishingly reached more than a thousand, just when he thought more would appear, he suddenly felt his body enveloped by a powerful teleporting force.

There was a whoosh.

When Jiang Chengxuan looked again, he found himself in a fog so thick he couldn’t see his fingers in front of him.

Even his divine sense was completely blocked, rendering him unable to see his surroundings.

Fortunately, his Heavenly Eye of Insight still worked to some extent, allowing him to clearly see an area of about a hundred meters around him.

[Ding.]

Just as he was about to carefully observe his surroundings, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained the achievement of killing 1,000 level 5 demon beasts. You have obtained the Demon-Suppressing Ring and a bottle of Mystic Pill of G.o.dly Essence.]

The Demon-Suppressing Ring was a silver-white bracelet with only one function, usable only once per day.

It had the power to nullify any innate abilities or divine powers used by demon beasts against the wearer.

In other words, once the ring’s suppressing ability was activated, no matter what divine powers the demon beasts used, they would be rendered completely ineffective.

I must admit, this is indeed a supreme weapon against the demon race. Although its function can only be used once a day, if employed at a critical moment, it could have an unexpectedly significant effect.

It’s a major trump card for dealing with the demon race.

As for the bottle of Mystic Pill of G.o.dly Essence, it is a medicinal pill that can be used by cultivators at the Soul Formation stage.

It’s hugely beneficial for both himself and Shen Ruyan right now.

It can greatly increase their cultivation speed.

Setting these thoughts aside for the moment, Jiang Chengxuan refocused his attention on the environment around him.

Jiang Chengxuan realized that he seemed to have arrived at a maze-like place. There were tall walls on both sides.

He did not know what materials or arrays were used to strengthen these walls. With his strength, he could not move it at all.

Most importantly, ever since he arrived at this place, he realized that he could no longer fly.

It was as if there was a Flight Prohibition Array set up in this place.

Even with his cultivation level, he was not exempt.

Secondly.

Every too meters he walked, a crossroads would appear in front of him.

He needed to choose a path and continue forward.

However, after trying for some time, he noticed that he would end up back where he started.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan had a rough guess about the mechanism of this ruin.

If he was not wrong, everything he had experienced just now should be a test. This ruin was specially designed to test everyone who entered.

If he could pa.s.s through, he might be able to touch the core of this rum.

If he couldn’t pa.s.s, Jiang Chengxuan thought that there might not be any real danger.

At most, he would get nothing and be expelled from this rum.

Of course.

This was only his guess. He was not 100% sure about it.

The true nature of this ruin could only be ascertained by observing how things developed.

He continued walking for a while.

When Jiang Chengxuan returned to the starting point for the 29th time, he suddenly had an intuition.

If he made seven more wrong choices, he feared he might be expelled from the ruin.

This feeling came suddenly, but Jiang Chengxuan did not doubt it at all. He knew that this should be the work of his pa.s.sive divine power, Intuition of the Heavens..
