Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2082  45th Round

The Chasm beasts might have increased in strength, but their skills hadnʼt changed much. Their attack patterns were the same and their responses were the same too. It was not hard for Lin Mu and Lady Kang to predict their reactions.

ʼEven if the Chasm Beasts are equivalent to Fourth Tribulation Beasts, they are nowhere close to them in terms of skill.ʼ Lin Mu thought. ʼThey are also lacking intelligence… similar to the ones I fought in the Land of Exile. If they had better intelligence, they might have been able to adapt to our attacks too.ʼ He understood.

An immortal beast at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm would basically have the same intelligence as that of a human. Thus, they could grow at the same rate as humans and adapt similarly. This was what made them so dangerous in addition to their strength.

But the Chasm Beasts entirely lacked that.

ʼItʼs the same as fighting puppets…ʼ Lady Kang had similar thoughts as Lin Mu.

The two humans and two snakes fought the hoard of Chasm Beasts and it took them over an hour to kill them all. They also had to use more of their stronger Qi skills, which used up more immortal Qi.

For the first time, the two were actually feeling a bit tired. Of course, their Immortal Qi stores were still high enough, but that didnʼt mean they couldnʼt perceive the fatigue. It was concerning, since they had no idea when this trial would stop.

ʼThereʼs no way this would continue till we encounter seventh Tribulation stage beasts, would it?ʼ Lady Kang thought to herself. ʼNo… even reaching the fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm would be stretching it. Especially if their numbers keep on growing.ʼ She reckoned.

Creating Thirty five thousand Chasm Beasts with the strength of the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm would have an incredible energy demand. And this was just in terms of them, there were still four more duos that were possibly undergoing the same trial.

They didnʼt know how the other duos were faring. If the trial would really extend till the forty fifth round, there would be a total of one hundred and seventy-five thousand Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chasm Beasts!

It was doubtful whether there were even that many human cultivators at that stage in the entire Rust Sky World!

Not to mention, the dark gas that the Chasm beasts were made out of was no longer being recycled. The twins were consuming it all without leaving much behind. This meant that the Inheritance ground was actually having a net loss that was growing by every second.

With these thoughts in their mind, the group continued to battle through the rooms.

The time needed for them to clear out each room had reached almost two hours now, as they had to pace themselves a bit. And when they reached the forty fourth room, it took them an entire three hours to clear it out.

~Haa~

Lin Mu let out a breath, furrowing his brows.

”The next round will be the most difficult so far…” Lin Mu spoke. ”If the trend stays the same, we might actually get injured.” He said honestly.

Even he wouldnʼt say that he had the full confidence of getting out unscathed from that many Chasm Beasts.

”Weʼll have to get through it. We knew the Inheritance ground was going to be tough after all.” Lady Kang replied.

”That is true… weʼll see how it goes.” Lin Mu said and took a deep breath.

He wondered if he should call out Little Shrubby too at this point.

The beast would certainly be of help with his speed and strength. It would also help split the load further.

ʼIf we really need it, Iʼll call him out.ʼ Lin Mu decided to see how it was first.

After all, if things were really difficult, he might have to get ready to escape too, and Little Shrubby would be crucial to that.

~tremble~

The gate to the next room finally opened, and the time of reckoning arrived.

Lin Mu and Lady Kang walked through the threshold into the dark room, while holding their breath.

But after ten seconds passed, nothing happened.

”Huh?” Lin Mu raised a brow, finding it to be strange. ~Rumble~

Instead, a loud sound was heard before the entire room started to tremble. ”This is different…” Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and spread his Immortal sense.

Lady Kang did the same and quickly realized that this room was much smaller than the previous ones. The room also didnʼt turn bright right away, like before showing that this round was going to be different.

ʼThe room is too small for a fight though… Just fifty meters.ʼ Lin Mu measured.

This made him think that perhaps it was not going to be what they had originally thought.

~tremble~

A few seconds later, the walls around them seemingly sunk into the ground, while the roof parted.

Some light finally filled the place, revealing a new area.

”This…” Lin Mu looked up as a dark grey sky revealed itself to them.

There were no clouds in the sky, but it still seemed to be grey. There was no sun or moon in the sky either, thus it was impossible to tell if it was day or night.

ʼNo wait, this is a Spatial Plane so there is no concept of day or night in the first place.ʼ Lin Mu thought before diverting his attention to the characteristics of the area around him.

Lin Mu and Lady Kang seem to be standing on a fifty square meters sized stone dais, while the area past it was just simple ground filled with dirt and rocks.

Tall mountains could be seen in the distance, with a steep canyon behind them.

~shua~

Runes appeared in front of them at this moment, spelling a few words.

ʼTrial of Persistence has been completed.ʼ It was now that the two realized something.

”It wasnʼt forty five trials… it was just one trial.”
