I'm not just human!

Chapter 361 Arrival! The central hall of the Critical Strike Maze! The battle for [Eternal Critical

Chapter 361 Arrival! The central hall of the Critical Strike Maze! The battle for [Eternal Critical Strike] officially begins!

Although the maze passage was pitch black, Xia Fa remained highly vigilant thanks to his spiritual intuition.

Therefore, the moment the bloody, bony claw reached out, he immediately dodged to the side.

But Xia Fa immediately realized that something was wrong.

First of all, the owner of this bone claw is too weak. It seems that he is not even a god, but at most a mysterious emperor.

Secondly, judging from the way that bone claw grabbed just now, it didn't seem to be an attack, but rather more like a cry for help.

The next moment, with a loud crack, the wooden door was smashed to pieces, and a skeleton stumbled out, its body also covered in blood and gore, with only its head remaining intact.

Normally, such undead creatures wouldn't be anything special in this extraordinary world, but Xia Fa was startled the moment he saw the head!

One could see that long black hair stood straight up on that head, and although the expression was terrified, the broad mouth and wide nose of the face still carried a domineering charm.

Indeed, even as he was dying, he still managed to maintain a certain domineering presence.

This person was none other than Dionysius, the Mysterious Emperor of the Silver Church!

Once, Xia Fa regarded him as the biggest rival in the struggle for [Eternal Critical Strike]!

"Help—help me—"

Dionysius was filled with terror. He only managed to utter one sentence before collapsing at Shafa's feet.

With a loud crash, his entire skeleton broke apart from the force of the fall.

Then, Xia Fa saw countless cockroaches and rats crawling out of his body.

"He was already severely injured, and now even his soul has been completely devoured?"

After sensing it with his spiritual intuition, Xia Fa was quite surprised.

Clearly, Dionysius died from being eaten by cockroaches and rats.

These cockroaches and rats were certainly no ordinary insects, capable of devouring a Mystic Emperor to death. To be precise, they were indeed quite ordinary before, but with the blessing of the [Eternal Critical Strike] critical strike authority, they have long since become extraordinary.

Although they certainly do not reach the level of the Great Emperor of Mystery, or even have a level at all, their bodies, teeth, or mouthparts have been enhanced to an extremely powerful degree by [Eternal Critical Strike].

Furthermore, it seems that Dionysius had previously encountered a formidable enemy in the Critical Strike Labyrinth and suffered extremely serious injuries, which led to his complete demise.

These cockroaches and rats, despite their natural instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, couldn't sense Xia Fa's chaotic aura, even from the gods and outer gods.

With a rustling sound and the squeak of cockroaches colliding and rubbing against each other, countless cockroaches flew up at the same time and viciously pounced on Xia Fa. The rats also rushed to his feet, seemingly wanting to climb up and start gnawing!

Xia Fa remained expressionless, and with a "boom," extremely pure and white sunlight erupted from his body.

Wherever the holy, pure white sunlight reached, all the rats and cockroaches were completely wiped out, leaving not even a trace of dust.

Xia Fa himself seemed to transform into a pure white sun, stepping through the wooden door.

Inside the wooden door was a haunted house, teeming with cockroaches and rats. But as the holy light emanating from Xia Fa spread out completely, all the cockroaches and rats were swept away.

"This pure white, incandescent holy sun is quite useful—it seems to have a natural ability to subdue filthy, corrupt, and undead creatures—"

Perhaps because the house was brightly lit, Xia Fa immediately noticed something was wrong.

In the corner of the haunted house, a malevolent spirit resembling an iron golem lay quietly, its body mangled and broken, clearly dead.

And this iron golem evil spirit actually carried an aura mixed with that of Dionysius.

"Did Dionysius fight this thing?"

Xia Fa stepped forward and examined the situation for a while. Since divination was not possible in the Critical Strike Maze, he could only deduce the cause of the matter through reasoning.

"This iron golem—it should have been a prop that was originally in the haunted house of the maze, but over time, it has gradually shown a tendency to turn into an evil spirit."

"But because it wasn't a real evil spirit, it just so happened to escape the cleanup that happened a few days ago in the City of Ten Thousand Stars."

"Then, it happened to encounter the blessing of the extraordinary power accumulated over 30,000 years by the [Eternal Critical Strike], which was comparable to the power of a true god, which brought it back to life completely."

Xia Fa looked up and saw that another door to the room was half broken.

"As for how Dionysius got in—"

It seems highly likely that the iron golem spirit sensed someone passing by outside the door and took the initiative to pull Dionysius inside.

Once this iron golem evil spirit was fully revived, its strength was not to be underestimated, not to mention that there were so many cockroaches and rats in the room that had been blessed by [Eternal Critical Strike] — in this light, Dionysius's death was truly not unjust.

"What a pity, I didn't even have a chance to ask the Crimson Proxy what he was doing when he was disguised as an old fisherman and hanging out with him—"

Dionysius's soul had been completely devoured by cockroaches and rats, so naturally there was no way to ask questions or occupy the place. On the one hand, his rank was insufficient, and on the other hand, this place did not allow him to occupy it.

"Wait a minute, Dionysius is moving at the same speed as me in this critical strike maze, yet he hasn't encountered any opponents?"

Xia Fa suddenly realized this, looked at the passage outside the half-broken wooden door, and then looked back at his own passage.

After thinking it over, he made a decisive decision to take a different path!

Whatever the reason why Dionysius has never encountered an opponent who requires a life-or-death struggle, choosing His path is definitely the right thing to do!

With that thought in mind, Xia Fa immediately passed through the half-broken wooden door and walked into another passage.

This passage was just as dark and impenetrable as the previous one, but Xia Fa felt inexplicably more at ease, though he remained highly vigilant and continued forward.

We walked on and on, for several minutes, and all we saw along the way were the winding maze-like paths and two black walls on either side; there wasn't even a window or a wooden door in sight.

Suddenly, Xia Fa stopped in his tracks, his face gradually revealing a look of surprise.

He reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was a thick black wall. Moreover, he could sense that even if he broke through the wall, there would be no way out.

This place is actually a dead end —

"No wonder Dionysius hasn't encountered any opponents along the way—"

Xia Fa muttered a complaint to himself, then had no choice but to return the way he came, passing through the room with the iron golem and finally back to his original path.

This time, after walking about the same distance, Xia Fa suddenly saw a little bit of light ahead.

But this didn't invigorate him; instead, it made him slow down and gradually approach.

Alternatively, there might be another fork in the road ahead, where you might encounter other competitors.

If it's a divine position, that's fine, but if it's an external divine position—that's really like walking into a trap.

But he had only been close for a short while when he immediately sensed two extremely powerful auras, unique to the Outer Gods, colliding fiercely at the intersection!

A terrifying surge of Outer God power swept in from the entrance of the passage, forcing Xia Fadu to retreat quite a distance to barely avoid being affected.

At the same time, he noticed that white bandages were beginning to grow on the black brick wall of his passage, and sharp spikes were also constantly emerging.

These white bandages and sharp spikes seemed to be fighting and canceling each other out, neither giving an inch.

Seeing this, Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly, and he remained standing still, choosing to observe the situation quietly.

Suddenly, a pale and cold aura rose from the white bandages, and the spikes strangely bent from the middle, as if they had turned into smiling faces.

Then, the chill and the spikes vanished, leaving only the white bandages and the smiley-face-like marks left by the spikes on them.

"Has the battle between those two Outer Gods ended?"

Xia Fa wondered curiously, but suddenly, a deep sigh was heard, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"What a pity, the [Eternal Frost] and [Eternal Spikes] have returned to the origin of the universe—speaking of which, why is it so difficult to obtain one or two tokens of eternity through hunting?"

This is—the Outer God [The Immortal Mummy] who dared to confront the Silver Cleaners head-on before?

Xia Fa recognized the voice and became even more determined to conceal his presence, praying that the [Immortal Mummy] would not discover him.

Otherwise, facing this peak Outer God [Immortal Mummy], I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to withstand half a move, and would be reduced to ashes with the slightest gesture.

After waiting patiently for a while, finally, there was no more sound in the passage ahead, nor any fluctuation of the aura of the outer gods.

Because the Critical Strike Maze inherently prevents one from occupying or peeping, and at the same time, it prevents one from using spiritual intuition to explore passages that do not belong to one, Xia Fa has always known that he is safe hiding in the passages.

In other words, the "immortal mummy" never actually noticed itself, because it simply couldn't, and even spiritual intuition couldn't detect it.

Furthermore, since the [Eternal Critical Strike] is located in the central hall of the Critical Strike Maze, the first person to arrive there has the best chance of obtaining it. Therefore, this incredibly powerful Outer God must have already left.

With that thought in mind, Xia Fa mustered his courage and walked towards the exit of the passage.

Sure enough, there was another fork in the road ahead. However, this time, although there were five entrances, there was only one exit.

"That was close!"

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. If he had rushed out recklessly, he might have been killed by the [Immortal Mummy] by now.

Moreover, this isn't a question of whether the [Immortal Mummy] wants to kill him or not. As long as the two meet in this critical hit maze, and there's only one exit, then only one person can survive and move forward.

The only exception would be if neither of them wanted [Eternal Critical Strike] anymore, and they just sat inside the black iron gate, waiting for the competition for [Eternal Critical Strike] to end, but that was obviously unlikely, especially given the huge difference in strength.

"No wonder Suo Chu Wu Kong Jian didn't mention the [Eternal Heartbeat] after killing that superdimensional primordial embryo. It seems that after the superdimensional primordial embryo died, the [Eternal Heartbeat] returned to the origin of the universe."

Previously, Xia Fa thought that as long as he hunted down gods or other gods who possessed proof of eternity, he could obtain their proof of eternity. Now it seems that this is not the case.

But then I thought about it again, and it seemed to make sense. If it were so easy to obtain the certificate of eternity, then all those extraterrestrials in the Critical Strike Maze probably wouldn't even bother coming here to fight.

It seems that, similar to the Overlord-level Secret Pact, there is only a very small chance of obtaining the corresponding Eternal Certificate after killing an entity that possesses the Eternal Certificate.

"Speaking of which, Ai Luo Tong is really lucky. She actually managed to find [Eternal Evasion] on a corpse of a god that hadn't returned to the origin of the universe —"

After calming himself down and not thinking too much about it, Xia Fa looked at the only exit and hesitated.

Now, a huge problem lies before him.

Alternatively, we could get to the exit sooner and continue towards the central hall of the Critical Strike Maze.

Alternatively, wait here a little longer until the [Immortal Mummy] has completely walked out of the passage corresponding to the exit, and then go in yourself. That way, the [Immortal Mummy] won't sense you.

However, if the second method is chosen, and another Outer God suddenly emerges from one of the five passages behind, that would be troublesome, as there would be almost no chance of escape.

As he was making his decision, Xia Fa suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the passage behind him.

Although you can't use your spiritual intuition to probe into the passage to find out what's going on, the sound can definitely be heard.

Moreover, this contender, whose rank is unknown, doesn't need to hide his footsteps like I do, which means that he/she is very likely an Outer God!

"run!"

With a sudden surge of sense of crisis, Xia Fa didn't hesitate and ran into the entrance. He completely concealed his footsteps and switched to levitation, making no sound at all.

He showed no intention of slowing down, flying wildly through the passage, because without a doubt, the being behind him, seeing that there was no one at the fork in the road, would definitely choose to enter this passage!

If He catches up with us, that would be terrible.

Although flying at top speed like this might lead to encounters with the [Immortal Mummy] ahead, Xia Fa couldn't care less. He wanted to get as far away from the Outer God-level being behind him as possible.

Having flown for a short while and not yet encountered the [Immortal Mummy], Xia Fa felt much more at ease.

Suddenly, the view ahead opened up, and the diameter of the passage grew larger and larger—

The sounds of fierce fighting rang out, accompanied by a mixture of various auras—from gods, from outer gods, and from the Cleansers.

Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine and immediately slowed down his flight.

Even so, he still spotted the exit of the passage, the magnificent and vast maze hall.

A gold coin floats beneath the crystal chandelier in the hall, quietly awaiting the final winner to claim it.

That is—[Eternal Critical Strike]!
