Chapter 233: Tunnel

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Huo and the others had boarded the black boat and headed straight for the sky. However, two giant black snakes blocked their path.

They were two snakes of death. Their bodies were filled with the aura of death. The two giant snakes rushed toward Wei Huo and the others. They flowed down the river and headed straight for the black boat.

The two black creatures emitted an aura of death. If one was hit by them, even a Legendary creature would not be able to escape death.

At that moment, Wei Huo tore off another page of the Death Book and stuck it between his fingers. He exerted strength with his wrist and threw the page out.

The Death Book page was thrown out like a poker card. It turned into a black spinning dart and sliced a black snake. The black snake was sliced through by the page, and having seemingly lost its support in life, it completely dissipated.

The other black snake did not retreat. It continued charging toward the small boat, but the black rotating page turned back. The sharp Death Book page snapped the snake in half. The severed black snake lost the support of the aura of death and eventually dissipated in the air.

The Death Book page flew back and landed in Wei Huo’s hand. It became the size of a poker card and turned pitch-black. Two intertwined black lines were carved on it. They formed an ‘8’ shape, symbolizing infinity.

The golden armor was shocked. “Isn’t your Rule Weapon too powerful? It’s invincible!”

Wei Huo put away the notebook. He was not in a good state of mind. He then said, “I’ve already used up 30% of my mental strength. Using the Death Book pages consumes too much mental strength!”

The golden armor hurriedly asked, “Is this the only way to use the book?”

Wei Huo shook his head and explained, “Normal people can only write other people’s names in it. Those below the Normal rank will definitely die within 40 seconds. Rare-ranked creatures can’t last more than four minutes. Epic-ranked creatures can last for four hours, but they have to sacrifice the spiritual power of 100 ordinary people in return. If one wants to kill a Legendary-ranked creature, they have to use a page and consume one-fifth of a Legendary-ranked creature’s spiritual power.”

The golden armor sighed. “Rule-ranked creatures are indeed powerful!”

Needless to say, Rule-ranked creatures were naturally powerful. Even if one held a broken Rule Weapon, it was still the equivalent of half a Rule-ranked creature. An ordinary Legendary creature could be killed with one move, let alone a truly flawless Rule-ranked creature. It was comparable to a true Rule-ranked expert with this item in hand.

The black boat followed the current and soon, they saw a sky full of stars. This small world was larger than the seventh level, and the starry sky was wider.

Wei Huo knew that he had to go through another space vacuum this time, and it would definitely take longer than the seventh level. There was no other way around it. The tests of the ninth level were calculated according to the strength of the trial-taker. If an ordinary person came in, the difficulty would be very low.

The black boat flew out of the atmosphere and moved along the black river of death. They had felt like they were flying up previously, but when they reached the universe, the feeling of moving up, down, left, and right changed. They entered a gravitational state and only felt the force moving forward. They could not feel anything else. If they had not grabbed the black boat firmly, they would have flown out with a stomp.

An endless black aura rushed into the vast universe and brushed past a few satellites. Half of the satellites that were touched immediately dissipated. This aura of death was terrifying. Anything that was touched by it would end up dissipating.

The golden armor used its Divine Sense and said, “Can science explain this aura of death? Is it dark matter, negative energy, or a Void Blast?”

Wei Huo replied with his Divine Sense, “All the Great Daos in the world eventually lead to the same outcome through different means. If any scientist can create and control the aura of death, they will probably enter the Mythical stage.”

There was more than one path to the truth in this world. There was more than one way to become a God. Cultivation was one path, and science was another. As long as one kept moving forward, one would eventually reach the finish line.

The small world on the seventh level was huge. Wei Huo and the others had been traveling on the black boat for a long time, but they had yet to reach the end. As time passed, they felt tired.

Fortunately, they had the black boat to travel on. They did not need to use their domains to move forward like they had on the sixth level. That was why they could rest and recover their energy in the dark.

They sat in the black boat and flew for an unknown period of time. During that time, Wei Huo and the others encountered attacks from several giant black tigers, black eagles, black sharks, and other animals formed by the aura of death. However, they were all killed by Wei Huo, who used the Death Book pages.

Every time he finished one, Wei Huo would take time to recover his mental energy on the black boat. They did not know how long this trip would take.

After Wei Huo killed over 10 Tyrannosaurus Rexes, they finally saw a black tunnel in the distance. The tunnel kept spinning, and the endless aura of death was swallowed by it.

Everyone was elated. They had finally arrived!

Right at that moment, a Black Dragon appeared at the tunnel entrance. The giant dragon circled the black tunnel. It did not move forward. Instead, it waited quietly for Wei Huo and the others to get closer.

Wei Huo stood up and shouted, “Let’s go together!”

The black notebook in front of Wei Huo flipped through its pages non-stop. Wei Huo tore off one of them, and so did the golden armor. Xiao Qian also tore off one. The three pages turned into an endless black aura and eventually gathered and formed a Black Dragon. The dragon swallowed the three of them and charged toward the Black Dragon guarding the tunnel.

The two Black Dragons let out dragon roars when they saw each other. Sound could not be transmitted in the vacuum, but Wei Huo and the others could still hear the dragon roars. They formed a spiritual wave that could be transmitted without a medium.

The two Black Dragons collided, causing the aura of death to fly everywhere and the Death Rules to spread out. They were about to reach Wei Huo.

However, Wei Huo was faster. He took out three peach tree shields and distributed them to the golden armor and Xiao Qian. These were the nomological creations he had obtained on the second level. At the time, he had used the Black Bomb to obtain a lot of peach tree wood that carried Rule Power.

He had collected all the peach trees and made many sets of armor and peach tree shields. He had never used these one-time nomological creations before, but this time, he had no choice!

The black boat under their feet had long been destroyed by the chaotic aura of death. The three of them were using inertia to move forward now.

“Charge!” Wei Huo shouted and lifted his peachwood shield. His Domain Force accelerated as he thrust.

The endless aura of death collided with them but was repelled by the Rule Power on the peach tree shield. However, after a few rebounds, cracks appeared on the shield.

After all, the peach tree shield was only a one-time nomological creation.

Wei Huo shouted, “Line up and take turns using your shields!”

The three of them lined up again. Wei Huo was at the front, and only when his shield was completely destroyed did Xiao Qian block the attack. In the end, Xiao Qian’s shield was destroyed as well. Ultimately, it was the golden armor’s turn, but the golden armor’s shield could not hold on anymore!

Wei Huo shouted, “Get behind me!”

He took out a huge peach tree piece and blocked the attack. Then, the three of them used their domains. Before the peach tree piece could completely shatter, they finally rushed into the black tunnel.
