Chapter 463 - 369: Traitor! Zhao Xing
Those ninth-level martial artists who died in battle, Lu Lin moved them out.
Next, what awaits them will be another scene.
The Netherworld Contest.
Lu Lin thoughtfully prepared a Netherworld Instance for these strong persons who "died" once in the Star Power Domain.
As soon as they enter, countless vicious ghosts will pounce on them.
Male ghosts, female ghosts, hanging ghosts—all sorts, one wonders if these martial artists can handle it.
At present, in the main battlefield here, due to many martial artists self-destructing, the White Snow Hawk group suffered significant damage.
Lu Lin knew when to stop, not continuously causing trouble for everyone.
After this wave, besides over a hundred people being sent to the Netherworld Instance, more than a hundred others successfully comprehended Star Skills and left the Star Power Domain.
Next, Lu Lin would have to operate on both sides simultaneously.
For the Netherworld Instance, he prepared the first checkpoint of the eighteen levels of hell, the Naihe Bridge Survival Challenge.
Every strong person entering would face the biting and gnawing of evil ghosts.
They must kill a certain number of evil ghosts before they can reach the Safety Zone at Naihe Bridge, completing the first task.
After setting things here, Lu Lin began arranging the scene for the strong persons in the demon beast battlefield.
Just as they moved a short distance forward, the ground suddenly collapsed, and terrifyingly twisted, extremely disgusting worms crawled out from the sunken ground.
These worms are segmented animals like earthworms, twisting continuously segment by segment.
Outside their bodies, milky white slime continuously oozed out; this slime is essential for their movement, digestion, and also contains a slight poison.
Well, this "slight" is mainly for the martial artists in the Star Dust Realm.
The Thousand-Knot Earthworm is a relatively common insect on the Longyuan Continent; besides enjoying certain herbs and Star Power Plants’ roots, it is almost harmless, and is even a delicacy for countless birds.
However, while on the Longyuan Continent it is an ordinary insect at the bottom of the food chain, in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain, facing a group of Level 9 Human Martial Artists, they are truly "dominant" insects.
The "slight" poison within, once it touches a human expert, immediately causes dizziness, blurred vision, muscle weakness, unable to stand, just falling to the ground, letting that disgustingly extreme slime smudge over them.
Then watching helplessly as their skin and clothes slowly dissolve under the effect of the slime.
Facing such never-before-seen insects, human experts suffered heavy losses, almost instantly; fifty-some strong persons died.
Now, there are only more than two hundred people left, but these human experts are facing the much more troublesome Thousand-Knot Earthworms than the White Snow Hawks.
During this period, about a hundred people or so found their former fighting spirit amidst continuous battles and began fighting back against the Thousand-Knot Earthworms.
Speaking of which, the Thousand-Knot Earthworm’s combat power isn’t exceptionally strong; it mainly relies on some poisons on its body to do as it pleases.
Soon, these hundred people successively comprehended their Star Skills, exiting the Star Power Domain.
For the fourth wave of demon beasts, Lu Lin arranged an insect known as the Blood Blade Cockroach.
The "roach," is actually another name for cockroaches.
This Blood Blade Cockroach is infamous in the Longyuan World; they move in swarms, laying siege to territories, each one the size of a medium-large dog of the human federation, and with two blood-red blade-like mouthparts on their heads, thus named Blood Blade Cockroaches.
The Blood Blade Cockroaches moved in packs, quickly dividing the remaining over a hundred people into two parts.
A portion comprehended Star Skills in battle, exiting the Star Power Domain, while the rest were assigned to the Netherworld Instance by Lu Lin.
At this point.
A total of three hundred ninth-level martial artists from the demon beast battlefield successfully guided Star Skills, while another two hundred or so people were to face a new round of tests in the Netherworld Instance.
On the Naihe Bridge, two hundred people crowded on the bridge, recounting their experiences.
Lu Lin thought it over, then began the second challenge.
For these martial artists who failed once, the difficulty of successfully comprehending Star Skills increased again.
Lu Lin had to design more challenging scenes to stimulate their potential and let them comprehend Star Skills.
This one-to-many Guiding Star Skills session was also an attempt on Lu Lin’s part.
Otherwise, guiding them one by one would cost Lu Lin too much time.
The second challenge officially began.
Swim across eight hundred miles of Yellow Spring Water.
After Lu Lin pushed them into the Yellow Spring Water, these ninth-level martial artists swam forward desperately.
Any martial artist attempting to be lazy or lie flat was immediately devoured by various aquatic demonic plants created by Lu Lin.
The third challenge, brave the Other Shore Flower.
During this challenge, only some ninth-level martial artists began to comprehend Star Skills and exit the Star Power Domain.
However, the number was not many, roughly around forty people.
Lu Lin wasn’t in a rush, and of course, rushing wouldn’t be of any use to him.
Those who failed midway must continue to try, after all, having reached the Netherworld Instance, Lu Lin wouldn’t arrange other scenes for them.
Furthermore, the number of Star Skills he had gathered was still too few, even if he wanted to arrange something for these losers, there weren’t suitable ones.
The fourth challenge, encounter spirits.
The fifth challenge, Cow Head and Horse Face coming to capture souls.
The sixth challenge, judgment of life and death.
