Chapter 984 The Fourth Level

"That was a close call..." Shen Fuzhou slumped down on the hot rocks, "That was Yan Ye himself! Luckily he escaped quickly!"

Xuan Mu wiped the demonic blood off the sword: "He noticed that we were acting strangely just now."

Luo Li looked at the churning magma in the distance: "We need to speed up. What is the fourth level of the test?"

Feng Wuhen suddenly pointed to the center of the magma: "Look there."

Amidst the boiling sea of ​​magma, a crimson palace stood majestically. In front of the palace gates, nine stone statues stood silently, holding various weapons.

Xie Shiyuan took a breath of cold air: "Could it be..."

As if responding to her guess, the leading stone statue opened its eyes at the same time.

The crimson pupils locked onto the six people, and the ancient, hoarse voice echoed in the lava hell:

"Challenger, defeat us to obtain the clearance token and enter the next level."

Luo Li gripped the sword tightly, her eyes burning with fighting spirit: "It seems that there is no choice."

Shen Fuzhou wailed, “It’s only the fourth level, how can he be a seven-star lord!”

A red light burst out from the pupils of the stone statue, and in an instant, Luo Li and the other six were each pulled into an independent little world.

One-on-one.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes, hoping that Shen Fuzhou and the others would be okay.

And in front of him, the stone statue sensed the breath of the outsider and suddenly opened its eyes.

Luo Li stared at the stone statue in front of her. It was completely red, with lava-like lines flowing on its surface. It held a huge flaming battle axe in its hand, emitting a suffocating pressure.

"Seven Star Lord..." She whispered to herself, her fingertips gently stroking the hilt of the sword.

The stone statue suddenly moved, and the battle axe chopped down with a scorching air wave!

"boom--!"

Luo Li dodged sideways, and a deep groove was cut into the ground where she was standing, and magma gushed out from it.

"So fast!" She was shocked, and the field of light expanded instantly.

A white halo enveloped her body, and she felt the speed of the spiritual power flowing in her body suddenly increase.

The stone statue let out a low roar and swept its battle axe across, creating a sea of ​​fire.

Luo Li leaped up, and the sword drew a graceful arc in the air: "Tianji Xuanbing!"

The ice-blue sword energy collided with the flames, causing a deafening roar.

Amidst the white mist, the stone statue rushed out unscathed, its battle axe going straight for her throat!

"Bang!"

Luo Li blocked with his sword, and was knocked back dozens of meters, with his back hitting the rock wall hard.

"Cough..." A trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes became sharper.

The stone statue approached with heavy steps, and every step made the ground tremble.

Just as the battle axe was about to fall, Luo Li suddenly closed her eyes and concentrated.

"Chaos Art..."

She whispered these three words, and the golden mark between her eyebrows suddenly lit up.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Countless ancient words emerged in her mind. Those were the last memories left for her by the Moonlight Priest.

"I see......"

Luo Li suddenly opened her eyes, and her pupils turned into a dazzling gold.

She no longer dodged, but rushed towards the battle axe!

"boom--!"

A shocking scene happened—her palm actually penetrated the chest of the stone statue directly!

The stone statue's movements suddenly stopped, and countless cracks appeared on its red body.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the stone statue exploded into countless pieces, and a red token floated in the air.

Luo Li reached out to catch the token, and her golden pupils gradually returned to normal.

"This is... the power of chaos?"

This was the first time she used the power of chaos after awakening her chaotic bloodline.

She looked down at her palms, feeling the power coursing through her body.

At this moment, the surrounding space began to distort.

The next moment, she reappeared in front of the lava palace.

The stone statues realized that Luo Li had passed the test, so they paid no attention to Luo Li standing at the palace gate.

About half an hour later——

The other five people also appeared one after another, and they all looked like they had experienced a tough battle.

"Are you okay?" Luo Li stepped forward quickly.

Shen Fuzhou waved his hands in dismay, "I was almost hammered into a meat pie by that stone man..."

Xie Shiyuan's long whip had broken into several pieces. He smiled bitterly and said, "My precious whip..."

Although Xuan Mu and Feng Wuhen's clothes were torn, their eyes were still sharp.

Wen Xingyan coughed lightly and said, "It seems that everyone has passed the test."

Luo Li nodded, handed each of them a pill, and then said, "Let's go find the teleportation array."

Wen Xingyan and the others quickly took the pills.

Then, the six people walked deeper into the palace and stopped in front of an altar.

The red token was inserted into the groove, and the teleportation array slowly lit up with a dazzling red light.

"Walk!"

A flash of light passed by, and six people appeared in the fifth level of the Netherworld - the Endless Demonic Abyss.

There is no concept of heaven and earth here, only countless suspended black islands and bottomless darkness.

"What will this heavy test be?" Shen Fuzhou looked at the void under his feet and couldn't help but shudder.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rose from the abyss.

It was a figure shrouded in a black robe, his face hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Welcome to the fifth level, trial participants."

The hoarse voice echoed in the void.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Senior, please tell me what the fifth level trial is."

The black-robed man said in a hoarse voice, "The fifth level trial is very simple."

He slowly raised his skinny hand, and countless black runes emerged from his sleeves, interweaving into a huge scroll in the void.

His voice was like sandpaper scraping against the ground. "Sign this heaven-earth contract, and you will be qualified to enter the sixth level."

Wen Xingyan suddenly held Luo Li's wrist, frowned and said, "Wait, what's written on it seems to be..."

Feng Wuhen's pupils suddenly contracted: "Using my soul as a pledge and borrowing the power of the Demon Abyss... this is a sacrificial contract!"

"You have a good eye," the black-robed man said with a creepy laugh, "but you have no choice. Without my guidance, anyone would be lost among these floating islands forever, let alone obtain the clearance token."

Xie Shiyuan's long whip silently wrapped around his wrist: "You're playing tricks! We're here to participate in the trial!"

She suddenly threw out three hidden weapons, but they directly penetrated the body of the man in black robe.

"It's useless," Xuan Mu pressed her shoulders, "It's not a physical entity."

Luo Li stared at the squirming words on the contract and suddenly discovered that several of the runes were slowly changing.

As the chaotic power in her body circulated, she was able to see through the pattern of change.

"The contract is a fraud," she lowered her voice, "the real way out is—"

Before he could finish his words, the man in black robe suddenly jumped up!

The originally illusory figure solidified in an instant, and five bone spurs shot out from under the black robe, heading straight for everyone's throat!

“clang!”

Shen Fuzhou’s shield blocked it in time, but his body was numb from the shock.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the person under the black robe was not a human at all, but a monster made up of countless black bones.

"Since you won't sign..." the monster's jaws creaked, "then become part of the contract!"
