Chapter 3211 - The Thousandface Suishen Zhao
Chapter 3211 - The Thousandface Suishen Zhao
The eleven teams on the Fortuna Path that passed the fifth round were the top eleven on the ranking. Unfortunately, there would be no reward for eleventh place. As soon as Yumo Yuanni emerged from the trial and saw the results, he was so angry he turned purple. If it weren\'t for Tianming and Suishen Zhao, he might have made it into the top ten, given his talent. His position was basically fixed now, though, as he had no chance of passing the sixth trial alone.
"Now, the biggest question is, which of the three groups on the Fortuna Path—Qitian Jian, Suishen Yao, and Yumo Xue—will defeat the thousandface idol that tests combat power? Who’ll have the shortest total time?"
Everyone was eager to find out. The sixth trial was the limit and the last battle for the participants on the Fortuna Path. There were eleven teams left on their side and over twenty teams remaining on the maniverse side. Although maniverse disciples were stronger, the trials they faced were also more challenging.
There was a hand beckoning to me in the imprisoned and rampage idols. I wonder if it’ll be there in the next trial. Tianming\'s eyes were fiery.
"The sixth idol is a test of combat power. I\'m afraid we don’t stand a chance," Suishen Zhao said. He had no regrets after such an unexpected gain.
"Let’s try your best. Don\'t you want to be on top?" Tianming asked with a smile.
"First place?" Suishen Zhao grit his teeth. "The reward for first place is three or four times as much as fourth place! Of course I want it, if it’s possible. With our five and ten times multiplier, our reward will be crazy. Of course I want it!"
"That’s more like it! We did well in the fourth round, we shouldn’t give up," Tianming said, surging with fighting spirit.
"As long as you keep going! I’m just tagging along for the ride. What I do doesn’t really matter," Suishen Zhao laughed.
"Alright!"
"Don\'t give up, brother!" Suishen Zhao smiled, patting Tianming on the shoulder. It seemed that he was already used to doing nothing.
For the Fortuna Path, the sixth idol was considered the last trial. It was the moment the top ten was decided. At that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the proud geniuses of Myriadpath Valley, waiting for their final outcome.
"The thousandface idol...." Narrowing his gaze, Tianming stared at the mist ahead. They had moved quite a distance by the sixth idol.
The sound of the wind—a strange, low hum—sounded from in front of them and Tianming and Suishen Zhao moved forward until they could no longer see anyone around them. They were the only ones left on the entire Prehistoric Path. The mist grew thicker, then the Prehistoric Path disappeared and they arrived at a world of nothingness. There was nothing in front, behind, up, down, left, or right.
The two stood in mid air.
"Be careful. The thousandface idol is ever-changing. It’s different every time, unlike the previous idols," Suishen Zhao said. His voice drifted further and further away until it was completely inaudible. However, he was still standing in front of Tianming.
"Minor pathkeeper?" Tianming realized there was something wrong with Suishen Zhao. He was still a seventh-level cosmic cartographer, but the pressure he was exerting on Tianming was rapidly increasing. In the blink of an eye, Suishen Zhao seemed to have become a terrifying opponent.
He suddenly turned around and faced Tianming.
At that point, Tianming discovered that he had a white, smiling mask on. He looked like a clown, which was extremely bizarre.
Has Suishen Zhao become the thousandface idol? So this level’s a duel? Tianming quickly figured it out.
It was very likely to be the case!
Perhaps the real Suishen Zhao was also facing a masked version of him that he had to fight. If he had grown stronger, Suishen Zhao would stand no chance against him. However, the outcome of the duel between Tianming and the terrifyingly strong Suishen Zhao in front of him was still uncertain.
At that time, he couldn’t spare the energy to think about what the lone Yumo Yuanni would encounter, because Suishen Zhao had already begun his attack.
Ten totems, the redlotus and vital origin flaregods!
As soon as the totems manifested, it was obvious they were several times stronger than Suishen Zhao’s actual totems. They exerted a pressure equivalent to a foundationeer. Suishen Zhao immediately used his simulacrum. The vital origin flaregod enveloped Suishen Zhao and the white mask on his face burst into red-hot flames. The smile on the mask began twisting into something else. With every change came a new face, but it was still as strange as ever.
Although the enhanced Suishen Zhao had no weapons, his strength and methods were on a whole new level. No Myriadpath Valley junior could possess such combat power.
BOOM!
Like a storm, the redlotus flaregods swept Tianming up. Every direction was under their control. The blazing flames collided with him, forming a surging wave.
"Minor pathkeeper?" Tianming was forced to use Fiveway Blitzrun to dodge his attack. His previous position was already engulfed by the violent flames.
That’s at least a foundationeer!
Tianming was shaken to the core. Suishen Zhao continued attacking as the mask changed over and over again, so Tianming knew it was the thousandface idol that had borrowed his teammate’s body.
Don\'t worry about Suishen Zhao. Just concentrate on defeating it!
It didn’t matter how badly Suishen Zhao lost; they would still pass the trial as long as Tianming defeated the idol. 999 giant words appeared and blocked Suishen Zhao as soon as Tianming manifested the grand lexicon wonder. Just as the words turned gold and began forming thousands of rules, Suishen Zhao used a new type of simulacrum that immediately melted the grand lexicon wonder.
"He’s too strong!" Tianming was shocked—it was suppression by pure power!
At that moment, Suishen Zhao was like a fire god. Everything his totems touched turned to ashes and Tianming couldn\'t confront them head-on. All he could do was avoid them.
"I wouldn’t have lasted this long if it wasn’t for Fiveway Blitzrun. I would already have been eliminated!"
Even so, Tianming and Suishen Zhao would still take fourth place. However, he wanted first place!
"This is a test of combat power. My opponent could be just as strong as Suishen Yao’s opponent! I’m definitely at a disadvantage, but if I make it through, I’ll have the opportunity to challenge the seventh idol, which is another test of talent. That might improve my orders...."
The reward and the growth of his orders were the reasons Tianming wasn’t satisfied with fourth place and wanted to keep going. He only had one chance to participate in the Prehistoric Path.
With that in mind, he grit his teeth and gave it his all.
