468 Catch! (2/2)
The third level was some kind of underworld. The dead passed by him, and their deathly energy seeped into his body. The feeling was worse than the cold and hot levels together!
Just are the majority predicted, he passed the third level too.
The fourth level was different. It didn't bring you suffering, but pleasure instead. The feel was so intense that it would make someone drunk with it. Of course, if the guy succumbed to these pleasures and stopped moving, he would fail, and he knew that.
Against the odds, he did not fail in the fourth level, which surprised many spectators.
Unfortunately for him, the fifth level was his stopping point. This was a messed level that would constantly throw you around, making your feeling of balance disappear. You couldn't even tell if you were going back or forward. Of course, for those observing outside, he was definitely moving forward.
Finally, he fell on the ground and was unable to continue. A few seconds later, his body disappeared from inside the 5th Test Level and reappeared outside. Everyone looked at him and laughed. They loved to watch this show.
Of course, the Holy Land is a cultivation land. All the Light Pillar tests were made to help the cultivators and demon beasts improve. So this experience would, without a doubt, help this guy to harden his will. Sooner or later, everyone around this pillar will end passing this test too.
Krune was obviously surprised by this test. He even felt eager to try to test his will. However, he still needs to finish getting used to this third-dimensional realm's Godly Energy first.
Two days passed in a flash. During this time, another twenty some cultivators and demon beasts tried their luck inside. Although the majority still failed between the 4th and 7th levels, three reached the 8th at least.
Krune also noticed one thing. Once someone reached the 8th level or higher, they would be given the option to return to the same level and try the test again once they reached their limit. It was evident that this test's creator was asking if they wanted to temper their wills even more or if they wanted to continue like this.
Two of the guys who succeeded immediately departed, while one of them returned. This guy's name was Frahem, a Demon Beast in human form at the 4th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm. He wasn't anything impressive. He didn't have a Heavenly Fragment or Heavenly Divine Soul. He wasn't a standard Major Divine Soul either.
However, he was still able to reach the 12th level of the Will Test! It proved that this guy's will was powerful. Not only that, but it seemed that he wanted to temper it even more since he returned to the third level instead of advancing. The majority thought that he was an idiot, that he shouldn't waste time in the lower dimensional realms.
Krune was different, though. He thought that there was something else to it, so he asked Frahem out of curiosity.
”Why do you want to temper your will even more?”
Frahem looked at him and laughed.
”Haha! Other than my will, I don't have anything to distinguish me from everyone else. Different from the majority, who got their slots thanks to their backgrounds and connections, it was through a hellish effort that I got a slot to enter the Holy Land. For someone who doesn't have anything else other than willpower, this level is tailor-made for me. I will not leave this place before I pass all eighteen levels. Even if I run out of time and ten years go by, I will not regret it!”
Krune's eyes shined after hearing that. Just the fact that he is willing to waste his ten years of the Holy Land in this place already shows his resolve. No wonder he went so far in this will test.
Although Krune has several perks under his belt, it doesn't change the fact that he got into this place with his own effort. Purple Flame was his creation; the Purple Flame Weapons were his creation too. It looked like Krune had it easy to acquire these slots for the Holy Land, but just how much he went through to reach the point where he could create the Purple Flames? Although he received a lot of help on his path, it was mostly thanks to his own efforts that he is here now.
Krune didn't notice, but suddenly, everyone close to him heard the sound of something breaking. Once they looked at Krune's hand, they noticed the Godly Stone turning into dust! Immediately, they all felt frightened!
”How can he absorb the Godly Energy this fast?”
”Is this some trick?”
”It shouldn't be, who would waste Godly Stones just to trick someone? Godly Stones are too important to be used for something like that.”
Only when everyone looked at him did Krune notice that his first Godly Stone was already gone.
”Ah! Let's take another one.”
Krune glanced at Frahem, who had closed his eyes to recover. It was then that Krune sent him a Divine Sense message.
”Hey, brother, catch!”
Frahem heard that and opened his eyes again when suddenly, a stone came flying against his face. It was so sudden that he was alarmed and immediately used his hand to stop it. Fortunately, he caught it before it hit his face. For a moment, he got angry at Krune. But then, he noticed everyone looking at him with envious eyes. When he looked at what was that Krune threw at him, he was shocked!
'Godly Stone!'
