Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Do You Know What an Immortal Is?
At this moment, what appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai was a man in tattered clothes.
His eyes were emitting blue light, and he stood there, motionless, looking like a fool.
Jiang Xiaobai felt the situation to be strange and didn’t dare to approach rashly.
Just then, a specter attacked Jiang Xiaobai stealthily from somewhere. He slayed it with a single slash of his sword.
The commotion alarmed the man in front.
The man suddenly erupted with the aura of the Late Stage of Fusion and roared as he charged towards Jiang Xiaobai.
“Are you out of your freaking mind?”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but yell out loud while he retreated and readied his defenses.
He didn’t know what was going on with this man, so he could only stay on guard for now.
The man roared and rushed towards Jiang Xiaobai at a lightning-fast speed. He threw a punch at Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
Although his speed was fast, Jiang Xiaobai easily dodged him. After the man attacked several times, Jiang Xiaobai understood what was happening.
Although this man seemed formidable and intent on killing him, his attacks were completely formless.
He was as good as a puppet.
After three warnings, the man still didn’t stop his attacks. Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to slay him with a single stroke of his sword.
To his shock, even after Jiang Xiaobai chopped off the man’s head, his body kept moving towards Jiang Xiaobai one step at a time.
Jiang Xiaobai cut him to pieces next, only to terrifyingly see the severed hand still wriggling on the ground.
He was completely dumbfounded, and the thought of the zombie flicks he’d seen in his previous life flashed through his mind.
“Goodness, could this guy be a zombie?” Jiang Xiaobai expressed his shock.
Just as he finished speaking, a surprised voice sounded next to him.
“Zombie? What’s that?”
Startled, Jiang Xiaobai rapidly backed away, turning around, sword in hand, to see who was in front of him.
Only then did he realize that the sudden appearance of a man who gave off an aura of the pinnacle stage after the tribulation. The aura was familiar.
It was the feeling of the geniuses in the War God Space!
Moreover, the man’s attire was quite peculiar; a fine metal armor encased his body, making him look like a metal man.
Only his face was left unarmored.
“Who are you?” Jiang Xiaobai frowned.
“Allow me to introduce myself, Yuling, from the Chaos Realm.”
Yuling saluted Jiang Xiaobai and looked him up and down; “You, you must be a local from this place they call the Tianxuan Continent, right?”
“My name is Jiang Bai.”
Jiang Xiaobai tactfully responded, “I am a local, but how did you, a person from the Chaos Realm, end up here?”
Hearing this, Yuling was evidently taken aback.
“You don’t know?”
“Damn, what am I supposed to know?”
Yuling twitched the corners of his mouth in speechlessness. Seeing the long sword in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, he shook his head with a slight smile.
“Put away your sword. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have the chance to defend yourself.”
“We people of the Chaos Realm have come here for the Netherworld Trial.”
“Not just us, many people from other worlds have come as well. For some unknown reason, the Tianxuan Continent seemed hidden before, but all of a sudden, it appeared in everyone’s sights.”
“What’s unexpected is that the Netherworld Abyss, which has been sought after by countless worlds for so many years, is actually here.”
Yuling chuckled, “Rest assured, I’m just out for a stroll out of boredom. As for killing you, I’m not interested.”
Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brows deeply.
Yuling’s words held a lot of information, information that he had never known before.
The Tianxuan Continent was previously in a closed state?
This Netherworld Abyss seems very famous, as people from all over the world are looking for it?
These revelations were somewhat shocking.
Although Yuling didn’t harbor any ill intentions towards Jiang Xiaobai, he still remained on high alert.
This world was entirely unfamiliar to him, after all.
“You’re here for that Netherworld Trial as well, aren’t you?”
“Tsk tsk, I really don’t understand. You people from the Tianxuan Continent possess such a great treasure as the Three Thousand Worlds, yet you don’t know how to exploit it?”
“I see that most of you in the Tianxuan Continent are quite weak.”
Yuling looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise: “As someone at the Late Stage of Fusion, you dare to challenge the Netherworld Trial. You sure have guts.”
“From what you’re saying, you know how dangerous this Netherworld Trial is?” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.
“I know a bit about it, but why would I tell a little local like you?”
Yuling laughed playfully.
Jiang Xiaobai curled his lip. If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t want to court trouble, he might have used force to let this guy understand the price of arrogance.
After all, the other party was from the Chaos Realm, where the world’s rules and properties were definitely stronger than this backwater world of the Tianxuan Continent.
Quite a number of people had come from the Chaos Realm too. If he were to rashly make a move against Yuling, it would likely cause trouble.
“What if I exchange information with spirit stones?” Jiang Xiaobai proposed, raising an eyebrow.
“Hehe, I don’t lack that stuff. Moreover, considering how rubbish your world is, how high-quality can your spirit stones be?”
Yuling smirked sarcastically but then immediately said, “Do you have any wine on you? Let me try the wine of your world.”
“If it tastes good, I might be willing to talk to you more.”
Jiang Xiaobai immediately produced two jars of wine.
One was obtained from Ao Cheng, and the other was purchased in the Sacred City. Both were the finest of the fine.
Seeing the fine wine, Yuling’s eyes sparkled.
After taking a sip from each, he exuded a relaxed aura.
“Not bad, the wine of this small world has its own charms.”
“Consider yourself savvy. Let’s go to the altar together, while I explain things to you.”
Yuling took the two jars of wine and started walking ahead, with Jiang Xiaobai following closely behind.
After Yuling’s explanation, only then did Jiang Xiaobai understand why the Netherworld Trial of the Netherworld Abyss was so famed among the Three Thousand Worlds!
Apparently, the benefit of the Netherworld Trial is that it can significantly enhance one’s spiritual power. Moreover, after completing the entire trial, one’s spiritual power could be elevated to another level!
This level of enhancement was incomparable to what any heavenly materials, earthly treasures, or cultivation techniques could offer.
In other words, this was the only such opportunity in the entire Three Thousand Worlds!
Why the Netherworld Trial was so exceptional, no one knows, but every time the Netherworld Trial opened thousands of years ago, all of the Three Thousand Worlds would celebrate with great fanfare.
Everyone wanted to seize this opportunity to enhance their power!
Although it was fraught with danger, and many people would lose their lives in such a trial, no one could resist the chance to grow stronger.
“Actually, the effectiveness of this test isn’t the most important part. The most important thing is, it can only enhance the strength of those who are below the Immortal level!”
“Immortals can’t even enter the trial space.”
“The stronger one’s powers become before becoming an Immortal, the stronger one will be after becoming an Immortal. That’s why this trial is so appealing.”
As Yuling explained, he glanced mockingly at Jiang Xiaobai, “Do you know what an Immortal is?”
