Chapter 203: Piling Corpse Stairs
Wei Huo arrived at the southern part of Kunlun Mountain. System Number Two had mentioned that Kunlun Mountain’s north, south, east, and west sides all had their own path. One could obtain the Dao Scripture by attacking it. Moreover, one could obtain benefits from each level.
This was not the standard treatment of a player. If a player entered the Instance Dungeon, the difficulty would be three times lower than that of a non-player. They could also challenge the Instance Dungeon frequently as long as they paid with Magical Stones. Many players could additionally challenge the Instance Dungeon at the same time or even form a team to challenge it as long as they paid with Magical Stones.
Wei Huo threw a punch. The mountain shook and a huge hole was blasted out.
This was the path of the Dao. Even if they had a short meeting with someone, everyone had to travel alone in the end because everyone’s path was different.
The mountain was about to heal, but Wei Huo threw another punch and the hole became deeper.
The mountain was very special. It seemed like a living creature that had the ability to heal itself. If one could not attack continuously and the attack power did not exceed its healing power, it would be impossible to penetrate it.
There was no need to think about those below the Epic stage. They did not have the strength to do so. Even if they reached the Epic stage, they would have to be experienced Epic-ranked creatures with strong attack power. They had to attack continuously before they had a chance to penetrate the mountain.
It was precisely because of this that the little roc took a detour and headed to the westernmost part of Kunlun. It was the weakest and thus had no strength to vie for other paths. Therefore, it was self-aware enough to go straight to the west of Kunlun. It would fight slowly until the mountain was penetrated.
Wei Huo kept throwing punches. The mountain’s self-healing ability was far inferior to his attack power. The hole got deeper and deeper as a result. Ten minutes later, Wei Huo penetrated the mountain and arrived at the belly of Kunlun Mountain.
It was pitch-black there. The sound of a tsunami came from under his feet. The mountain behind him was healing by itself, and the path of retreat had disappeared. If he wanted to leave, he could only fight his way out.
“Is this the first level?” Wei Huo mumbled to himself.
He lifted his head and saw no mountains or rocks. Instead, he saw a starry sky.
He kept flying forward. Beneath his feet was the sea and above his head was the starry sky. It was as if he had arrived at the sea instead of Kunlun Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Wei Huo understood that there were a few small worlds hidden in the belly of Kunlun Mountain!
Of course, this place could be described with a more professional term. This was paradise!
System Number Two had said that he should upgrade it layer by layer. That meant that he needed a small world to upgrade it.
Wei Huo soared into the starry sky and flew toward it. However, he still could not reach the top after flying for a few hours. That little bit of time was enough for Wei Huo to fly out of the stratosphere. Unfortunately, he had yet to touch the top of the sky.
On top of that, there were stars above his head and he was stepping on the sea. There were no objects that could be used as a reference to help him get his bearings. Wei Huo did not know if he was flying on the spot or if he should continue flying.
Indeed, it was not as simple as moving up one level after another. Wei Huo had a weird feeling as he flew. It reminded him of the time when he had gone to the Central Continent and kept moving toward the Sky Ascension Peak. However, no matter how far he had walked, the Sky Ascension Peak had not grown larger. It had not conformed to the principles of perspective at all.
Now that he thought about it, he realized that there should have been some kind of Rule Power.
Wei Huo had seen ‘Near Big, Far Small’ in the Immortal Tomb, but it had only been a half-step Rule at best. The Heaven Ascension Peak had completely broken this rule. It had reached the level of ‘Near Big, Far Big; Near Small, Far Small’. It had gone against reason, ignored all principles, and broken the axioms. That was the true Rule rank.
At that thought, Wei Huo turned around and headed straight for the sea. However, the situation in the sea was the same as in the starry sky. Wei Huo flew for an entire day but still did not touch the sea.
Without any reference, it even felt like he was flying on the spot.
Since he could not fly from top to bottom, he could only fly in every direction. Wei Huo chose a direction and kept moving forward. He did not see any mountains after walking for a few days. However, when he backtracked, he saw the mountain in about 10 minutes.
Wei Huo frowned and kept throwing punches. However, he returned to Kunlun South.
It’s weird. Could I have been flying in the same place? Can I only retreat?
Wei Huo struck out and entered again. This time, he did not fly far away. Instead, he stuck to the only mountain behind him and flew to the left. Theoretically, the middle of the mountain was like the interior of a seed. If he kept flying, he would eventually return to the starting point.
However, Wei Huo had a hunch that things would not be that simple. If that was the case, wouldn’t it be no different from entering Kunlun Mountain from any direction?
That was why Wei Huo flew 50 meters to the left before passing through the mountain. In the end, he returned to the same place. The vegetation around him had not changed at all.
Wei Huo felt that he had found the pattern. He threw a punch on the ground and created a huge pit. After leaving the mark, he hit back and flew along the wall of the mountain for a few hours. Theoretically, he had already arrived west of Kunlun. However, when he passed through the mountain, he returned to the place where he had been. The pit on the ground was proof.
It seems like I really flew on the spot after entering.
Wei Huo finally understood why System Number Two had said that Mythical creatures could head to the mountain peak directly without having to go up one level at a time. That was because Mythical creatures controlled the rules. These ‘Near Big, Far Big’ rules were useless against them.
Wei Huo entered the mountain again. This time, he was seriously thinking of ways to crack it.
However, he soon thought of a solution. System Number Two had already given him a notification. It had said that he should level up!
He would fight!
Wei Huo penetrated the mountain and stormed his way into the first level. He stepped on the sea of stars above his head and threw a punch. The punch was extremely powerful. The surrounding space vibrated when he threw it.
This was only a small world. It was not a real big world. The space there was not stable, so Wei Huo’s strongest punch shook it.
However, it also alerted the guardian of this floor.
Wei Huo saw countless green flying mantises flying out of the sea. They ignored the rules and charged toward Wei Huo.
Wei Huo realized that these Soaring Mantises were only Rare-ranked. They were no match for him. He used punches and kicks and unleashed his domain power. Any Soaring Mantis that was affected by the domain died immediately and fell into the sea.
Upon seeing this, Wei Huo understood immediately. Although the rules were not ineffective against the Soaring Mantises, they gave them the right to fly freely. It was just like playing a game. If the main host did not authorize them, the players who joined would not be able to cause destruction. They could only look around. However, once the main host gave them the rights, the secondary players could do whatever they wanted. Unfortunately, they were still limited by the main host.
After figuring this out, Wei Huo started experimenting. He grabbed a Soaring Mantis first. The mantis, which was still alive, kept struggling. However, Wei Huo grabbed it and kept flying upward. In the end, it still could not escape. Wei Huo continued flying on the spot.
The Soaring Mantises kept flying out but were eventually killed by Wei Huo. Soon, a corpse mountain appeared over the surface of the sea. Wei Huo understood when he saw it.
If he kept killing, he could pile up a corpse ladder and climb to the second floor!
