Wei Huo and the others had boarded the black boat and headed straight for the sky. However, two giant black snakes blocked their path.

They were two snakes of death. Their bodies were filled with the aura of death. The two giant snakes rushed toward Wei Huo and the others. They flowed down the river and headed straight for the black boat.

The two black creatures emitted an aura of death. If one was hit by them, even a Legendary creature would not be able to escape death.

At that moment, Wei Huo tore off another page of the Death Book and stuck it between his fingers. He exerted strength with his wrist and threw the page out.

The Death Book page was thrown out like a poker card. It turned into a black spinning dart and sliced a black snake. The black snake was sliced through by the page, and having seemingly lost its support in life, it completely dissipated.

The other black snake did not retreat. It continued charging toward the small boat, but the black rotating page turned back. The sharp Death Book page snapped the snake in half. The severed black snake lost the support of the aura of death and eventually dissipated in the air.

The Death Book page flew back and landed in Wei Huo’s hand. It became the size of a poker card and turned pitch-black. Two intertwined black lines were carved on it. They formed an ‘8’ shape, symbolizing infinity.

The golden armor was shocked. “Isn’t your Rule Weapon too powerful? It’s invincible!”

Wei Huo put away the notebook. He was not in a good state of mind. He then said, “I’ve already used up 30% of my mental strength. Using the Death Book pages consumes too much mental strength!”

The golden armor hurriedly asked, “Is this the only way to use the book?”

Wei Huo shook his head and explained, “Normal people can only write other people’s names in it. Those below the Normal rank will definitely die within 40 seconds. Rare-ranked creatures can’t last more than four minutes. Epic-ranked creatures can last for four hours, but they have to sacrifice the spiritual power of 100 ordinary people in return. If one wants to kill a Legendary-ranked creature, they have to use a page and consume one-fifth of a Legendary-ranked creature’s spiritual power.”

The golden armor sighed. “Rule-ranked creatures are indeed powerful!”

Needless to say, Rule-ranked creatures were naturally powerful. Even if one held a broken Rule Weapon, it was still the equivalent of half a Rule-ranked creature. An ordinary Legendary creature could be killed with one move, let alone a truly flawless Rule-ranked creature. It was comparable to a true Rule-ranked expert with this item in hand.

The black boat followed the current and soon, they saw a sky full of stars. This small world was larger than the seventh level, and the starry sky was wider.

Wei Huo knew that he had to go through another space vacuum this time, and it would definitely take longer than the seventh level. There was no other way around it. The tests of the ninth level were calculated according to the strength of the trial-taker. If an ordinary person came in, the difficulty would be very low.

The black boat flew out of the atmosphere and moved along the black river of death. They had felt like they were flying up previously, but when they reached the universe, the feeling of moving up, down, left, and right changed. They entered a gravitational state and only felt the force moving forward. They could not feel anything else. If they had not grabbed the black boat firmly, they would have flown out with a stomp.

An endless black aura rushed into the vast universe and brushed past a few satellites. Half of the satellites that were touched immediately dissipated. This aura of death was terrifying. Anything that was touched by it would end up dissipating.

The golden armor used its Divine Sense and said, “Can science explain this aura of death? Is it dark matter, negative energy, or a Void Blast?”

Wei Huo replied with his Divine Sense, “All the Great Daos in the world eventually lead to the same outcome through different means. If any scientist can create and control the aura of death, they will probably enter the Mythical stage.”

There was more than one path to the truth in this world. There was more than one way to become a God. Cultivation was one path, and science was another. As long as one kept moving forward, one would eventually reach the finish line.
