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 the last 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 of late, 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 succeeded 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 flashed past their eyes.
Riv could not help but lament, “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 a layer of thin mist, and no one could even see clearly what the slope
was made of. The five of them were placed 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 minutes later.
Those who turned around to look backward from this position finally felt like they were able to see everything in a
single glance. The clan 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 flashing 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 flashed 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 inaccurate, 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 to complete!”
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 glanced 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 glanced 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 relationship 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 nonchalantly, “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 relationship. Was Jackie not afraid that the masked
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtman 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 a layer of intense red
color, and it looked like the sun was burning.
“It’s coming!” 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!” exclaimed 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 heard coming 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-black 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 immediately combined into three. Three
huge soul swords floated three meters In front of Jackie, and a sharp look flashed 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-black seals instantly merged with the huge soul
sword in front of him. The soul sword was like a cannon ready to be launched. 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-black soul sword collided with each other heavily. At that moment,
the black 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 wind landed 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 only combat 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 in
combat. Anybody who experienced several serious battles would not make such a decision and allow themselves to
land 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 slammed to the vacant spot where Jackie had
stood.
He had disappeared into thin air.
Griffin could clearly hear the deep inhales coming 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 flash and appeared behind the attacking three Divine Void Warriors.
Whoosh!
The huge soul sword that was fighting against the three Divine Void Warriors completely swallowed the red light.
The grayish-black 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-black 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 blackish ray of light. Jackie took a black 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 black sword. Within the blink of an eye, all three huge soul swords melted on the black sword like snow
melting under the hot sun. The black sword immediately looked like it was covered in a layer of grayish-black halo,
and mist of the same color surrounded the sharp edge of the knife. It was as if a black-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 the laws 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 before landing 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 the combined power of those 35 swords was swung forward by the black sword. A
suffocating wave of spirit energy immediately landed 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 swords combined into
one.
Swoosh!
The black sword’s momentum did not weaken after It cut through the red sword. In the blink of an eye, the black
sword had sliced the Divine Void Warrior into two. The warrior instantly exploded into specks of red lights!
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 clashing against one another could be heard as the red and black 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 plan 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 slash of the sword, the second Divine Warrior completely disintegrated into spots of red
light. In a flash, 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 black
blade.
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 blade 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 the last Divine Warrior was.
After going through the obstacles planned by the last 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 not last, yet every judgment they lay on
seemed to come back at them like a vicious slap 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 delay.
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 the late stage, thus those in
the intermediate stage should have been weaker than them.
Shockingly, Jackie completely 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 to last 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 miscalculation.
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, his lamenting 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 clans.
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 most complicated 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 place 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 slapped 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 display.
The sound of close quarter combat 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe 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 encompassed 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 Place 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 the last Divine Warrior with a
slash!
The red lights were swallowed by dark purplish lightning, and the last 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 succeeded.
However, all of that was not important to the masked man at all. He refused to believe that there was anyone else
who could possibly complete the task before he did.
He let out a cold laugh, 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 acceptance?
Were they reluctant to accept the fact that they were already eliminated from getting the rewards?
However, those thoughts did not last 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 particularly 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 played 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 the last 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 the lava had completely 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
regular clans. 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 nothing compared 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 Place 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 glared 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 occasionally,
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 congratulatory voice, “Congratulations 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 planned on igniting Graham and Jackie’s relationship.
