At this moment, the dry corpse that was lying beside the stone path was totally shocked. His hollow eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn’t believe a young man at the Medium Stage of the Human Celestial Stage could walk to the end of this path through cheating.
For so many years, countless powerhouses who were more powerful than Xu Que used to challenge this path. However, this path was not designed for cultivators. It was a reincarnation road for the descendants of the God of Hell. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he would be defeated because of the congenital defects of cultivators. So, all those powerhouses fell on this path.
Some people were knocked down before reaching the halfway point of this path by the powerful pressure. When their bodies dried up, they had to stay where they were till the end of their lives.
Some people covered only half of the path. However, they lost blood, flesh, and skin and had only a skeleton left. After moving forward for a few steps, they were still knocked down by the pressure.
Some people, who could resist the pressure, were defeated by the body reincarnation. Even when they were only a few steps away from the end of this path, they lost their flesh, and their skeletons were turned to a heap of ashes at last.
That was why those cultivators were so helpless. They rushed up for an inheritance that was not designed for them and ended up miserably.
Now, a young man was about to make a change.
That handsome young man was so close to the end of the path now, and his body was still intact. He kept putting on weird equipment, which were crushed by the pressure again and again.
Watching this scene, the dry corpse had mixed feelings. He hoped Xu Que would create a miracle here. Also, he was quite disappointed for Xu Que would obtain that inheritance, and he would have to admit his defeat. Such a powerful Mighty Body of Hades, which had been modified by the God of Hell, would be taken away by someone else. That was the reason for his disappointment.
“Alas!” At last, the dry corpse turned his complicated feelings into a sorrowful sigh. No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he had lost the qualification to get that inheritance. He had to admit that comparisons were odious!
“Young man, come on, just take away that inheritance!” The dry corpse shouted loudly to cheer for Xu Que.
Since he was not able to do that, he chose to cheer for others. At least this inheritance which was not designed for human cultivators was obtained by a human being! He was quite happy about that.
.....
At this time, Xu Que was in great danger.
Even though he had six magic resistance equipments on his body, he could still feel the horrible pressure. The equipment could only protect him from the horrible pressure for several seconds at a time. So he had to do his best to move forward.
Whenever he stepped out, all the equipment would be crushed at the same time. Then he had to replace them with new ones immediately. Otherwise, he would also be crushed by that horrible pressure. The closer he was to the end and that step, the more difficult it became for Xu Que to step out. At this moment, the step was only two steps away. Xu Que lifted his left foot with great difficulty.
Bang!
Along with a dull sound, all the equipment exploded at the same time. Without hesitation, Xu Que replaced them with new ones as he landed his foot rapidly after stepping out.
Bang!
Instantly, the new equipment was crushed again and were replaced by new ones immediately.
The last two steps were extremely difficult and horrible for he had to replace the equipment for twice in each step. Now, the blood replenishment effects of the equipment started to be surpassed by the speed of body reincarnation. Even with the assistance of the equipment, Xu Que still felt his blood was diminishing. Although it was not happening fast, he believed his body would dry up soon if he continued to move forward.
But he could do nothing to change that. If he tried to slow down the blood loss, his magic resistance would be lowered, and he would be crushed by the pressure. The pressure would kill him instantly. The body reincarnation would kill him slowly. Xu Que chose the latter one for a slow death always meant he still had opportunity to survive.
“Ah!” At last, Xu Que shouted loudly as he stepped out for the last time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The equipment on his body exploded. Meanwhile, his body was covered by cracks which were bleeding seriously. Now, the System’s Automatic Recovery Function couldn’t catch up with his blood loss. When he approached the step, he felt the pressure was smaller than before but the body reincarnation was even faster!
“Holy sh*t! Young man, you made it! So, is it safe on that step?” The dry corpse shouted excitedly at this time.
Nobody had walked so far on this path before. Xu Que was the first one who trod on that step. So the dry corpse was curious about what would happen on it.
“Damn! It is not safe at all! I’m afraid this step is the starting point of reincarnation. That stone path is just a warm-up!” Xu Que shouted.
He lifted his foot with great difficulty and landed it on the first step. This time, the equipment on his body was not crushed. However, wrinkles started to appear on his body, which was an obvious symptom of dehydration. Of course, he was not only losing water, but also blood!
“What? The step is the real reincarnation?” Hearing that, the dry corpse was dumbfounded. If the step was the real reincarnation, what was the reason for causing the death of so many people on the stone path? It turned out they didn’t stand a chance to reach that step at all.
“This is an altar for the descendants of the God of Hell, which...is inaccessible for us!” At last, the dry corpse said with a wry smile and his voice was full of sadness and loneliness. They tried to take possession of something which was designed for the descendants of the God of Hell. They didn’t realize they were not qualified to get it.
“Young man, try harder! I hope you can obtain the inheritance and realize the most powerful physique in this world! There are numerous congenital divine physiques in this world. However, the God of Hell has proven that an acquired physique, which is even more flexible and compatible, could also be as powerful as those congenital ones. If you can acquire it, I believe you will break the interface between the earth and the heavens and become a Celestial in the future!” The dry corpse shouted.
“Really? Is this Mighty Body of Hades even more powerful than the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus?” Xu Que, who had trodden on the first step, asked at this time. Blood was flowing out from his lips and his body was quite shriveled up.
