Chapter 985 Boundless Demonic Forest
The entire space suddenly twisted, and the floating island under the feet of the six people began to collapse.
Luo Li grabbed a piece of rubble while falling and found countless blood-red eyes emerging from the abyss.
"Those are the trial-takers who came here before!" Wen Xingyan's sword sounded a frantic warning. "They have all become the nourishment of this damn place!"
Wen Xingyan suddenly formed a complicated hand seal: "Nine Heavens Purifying Heart Technique!"
The dazzling green light temporarily drove back the oncoming black fog.
Taking advantage of this moment of respite, the golden light in Luo Li's eyes became brighter.
She raised her hand, and the chaotic power within the Phantom Pearl surged, completely covering up the chaotic bloodline within Luo Li's body.
She saw it—hidden within the circular motion of countless floating islands was a steady red light.
"Three hundred meters northeast!" she yelled. "Follow me!"
The ice-blue sword light split the black fog, and everyone followed closely behind.
The black-robed monster let out a shrill scream, and the entire abyss began to wriggle, and countless bony hands stretched out from the darkness.
The moment the six people jumped into the golden light at the same time, the black-robed monster suddenly stopped.
He slowly took off the mask, revealing a handsome face.
"Being able to see through illusions..." The man smiled with satisfaction, and his figure gradually disappeared. "As expected of the heir of the Chaos bloodline..."
The sixth level of the Netherworld, Heart Tribulation
Six people sat down on a quiet lake, surrounded by countless suspended mirrors, each reflecting a different scene.
Shen Fuzhou gasped with lingering fear.
Luo Li looked up alertly: "Something's wrong, it's too quiet here."
Indeed, the entire space was eerily silent, even the sound of breathing seemed exceptionally clear.
Feng Wuhen frowned: "What is the sixth level test?"
Just then, all the mirrors suddenly turned towards them at the same time.
The "reflection" in the mirror actually moved on its own and gave them a strange smile.
"Welcome to Mirror Flowers and Water Moon..."
Countless voices overlapped, making people feel creepy.
"Here, you will face your truest self..."
In the mirror in front of Luo Li, "she" slowly stretched out her hand: "Come, accept me, we are one..."
The other five people encountered the same situation.
Luo Li's voice was slightly cold as she said in a deep voice, "Don't be fooled! These are all transformed from mirror beasts!"
The "Luo Li" in the mirror chuckled: "Confused? No, I am your truest thoughts..."
"Don't you want to know why Emperor Xuanming has become like this?"
Luo Li's pupils shrank slightly: "You..."
She continued to whisper in the mirror: "And your parents..."
"Accept me and I'll tell you everything..."
The seductive voice lingered in her ears, and Luo Li felt dizzy.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch the mirror, her mind suddenly became clear.
"I almost got caught..." She took a few steps back and stared at "herself" in the mirror warily.
The other people were also fighting against the mirror beasts, and the situation was critical.
Luo Li took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Everyone, listen! These mirror images are magnifying our inner weaknesses!"
"Don't listen to what they say, just focus on fighting!"
Her voice was like a shot of adrenaline, cheering up her confused companions.
Shen Fuzhou pinched himself hard: "Right! You must not be fooled!"
Xie Shiyuan simply closed his eyes: "I don't want to listen, you bastard!"
Xuan Mu and Feng Wuhen simultaneously burst out with powerful momentum, forcing back the approaching mirror image.
Wen Xingyan sat cross-legged and began to silently recite the mantra of tranquility.
Seeing this, the "Luo Li" in the mirror turned ferocious: "Do you think you can get rid of me like this?"
"I am you! You can never—"
"Shut up!" Luo Li suddenly shouted, with golden light shining in her eyes.
She formed complex hand seals with her hands, and a golden light shone directly onto the mirror.
“Crack!”
The mirror shattered, and countless fragments flew in the air.
Each fragment reflected her appearance at different times, and finally turned into a little light and dissipated.
A blood-red token fell into her hand.
The other five people also overcame their inner feelings one after another and each obtained a pass token.
The blood-colored token suddenly melted in Luo Li's palm and turned into six blood lines that wrapped around everyone's wrists.
The lake began to boil, and all the mirror fragments condensed into a swirling portal.
The teleportation array was right in front of them, so Luo Li and the others were not in a hurry to leave.
Feng Wuhen frowned and said, "Coming all the way here, the Ninth Level Trial was indeed thrilling, but many of the seniors who died here back then were close to the strength of a Grand Lord. The next few levels must be no easy feat."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "The next step is the seventh level, everyone must be careful."
Everyone felt, "Good!"
Everyone looked at each other and stepped into the teleportation array.
The seventh level of the Netherworld—the boundless demonic forest.
Luo Li and the others dropped down from the teleportation array one by one. Seeing that everyone was still together, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Fuzhou observed his surroundings and said in surprise: “The seventh level is so normal!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li looked around and found that there were indeed trees all around, and many spiritual plants growing on the ground.
It’s much more normal than the previous levels.
Luo Li curled her lips, "Let's go, walk forward and see. If it really is a normal trial secret realm, that would be a good thing."
"good!"
Several people moved deeper into the forest.
After walking for about half a day, they encountered nothing.
Luo Li glanced at the sky and said, "Forget it, let's rest for a night and continue our journey tomorrow."
"good!"
After setting up a temporary camp and lighting a bonfire, everyone
Shen Fuzhou sighed, “Although only a few days have passed, it feels like a year has passed.”
"Yes," Feng Wuhen leaned lazily against the tree, "the conditions for clearing the next few levels are different from the previous ones."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, hoping that her cousin was not in any danger. She had protected her with a force of chaos during the first stage, so she should not have any life-threatening injuries.
The group didn't chat for long. They placed a soul power shield in the camp and went to rest.
——————
The soles of Luo Li's boots sank into the soft soil, making a slight creaking sound.
She raised her hand to push aside the hanging vines, her eyes scanning the surroundings alertly.
For three consecutive days, this seemingly ordinary forest had neither monster attacks nor any traps.
"It's too quiet." She said softly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the Phantom Pearl.
Wen Xingyan's sword never returned to its sheath, its edge gleaming coldly in the dappled sunlight. "Forget about lord-level magical beasts. There's not even a single low-level magical beast. This isn't normal."
Shen Fuzhou bent down and picked a evening primrose, sniffed it at the tip of his nose: "The spiritual plant is genuine."
He suddenly grinned and fantasized, "Maybe this test is to let us collect herbs? If we collect spiritual plants that satisfy him, he will let us go to the eighth level?"
