Chapter 5: Trial of the Killing Field (Part 1)

Ning Ye is greatly pleased

Instead of paying him any attention, Ning Ye stood there, calmly digesting the techniques of the killing intent.

This is precisely the murderous blade I was looking for

Moments later, Ning Ye suddenly sensed something

Insight requires that they can quickly grasp it in a short period of time

There is magic

All three are illusions

Although it is said that seekers of immortality lack cultivation, and even if they possess spells, they cannot cast them, the Black and White Divine Palace simultaneously arranges a grand formation underground to provide magical power, allowing those who acquire spells to temporarily cast them even in the absence of cultivation

Until the final tranquil night entered the valley, accompanied by the crisp sound of the cloud bell, everyone was astonished to see the dead bodies on the ground actually swaying and standing up.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, he saw several skeletons rushing over, and the seeker of immortality simply did not dodge

Ning Ye realized that he did not have time to compete for it. In a moment of desperation, he grabbed a nearby stone and hurled it fiercely at the man with the green face

Succeeded

The sky is filled with yellow sand, as the wind blows, carrying a sense of desolation and grimness

He stopped and turned around to take a look

If it were not for the fact that the number of true undead soldiers is extremely limited, and they move sluggishly, it is likely that one could eliminate this multitude of one hundred thousand within half a day's effort

The man with the green face was caught off guard, struck on the head by a stone, his vision blurred, and his steps faltered. Ning Ye had already rushed over, colliding with him shoulder-first, sending him flying. At the same time, he lunged towards the mountain wall, pressing his hand against it, focusing his mind and calming his spirit. In the next moment, a glimmer of golden light flew into his sea of consciousness.

At this moment, the man with the green face also witnessed this scene and was filled with rage: "Bastard!"

"It was merely an illusion." The seeker of immortality was greatly delighted

In the next moment, Ning Ye had already rushed out of the crowd, facing three undead soldiers charging towards him, yet Ning Ye paid them no mind and simply passed through.

The spells placed in the Black and White Shrine are the simplest; however, even so, it still requires everyone to possess sufficient insight, otherwise, even with spells, it would be difficult to exert their effects

The Black and White Shrine secretly placed a large number of spells on the battlefield of the dead

Ning Ye struck the hilt of the knife from below with ease, effortlessly removing the blade. Blood gushed from the forehead of the seeker of immortality, but Ning Ye did not even glance at him. With the knife in hand, he channeled the magical power within his body, harnessing the strength of the grand formation.

Killing Intent Blade

Behind, another undead soldier raised his blade. Ning Ye suddenly came to a halt, and at the same time, the undead soldier's blade fell, striking down upon the head of an unfortunate seeker of immortality. The edge of the blade embedded itself into the seeker's skull, emitting a cry of pain.

Then he saw that a woman in blue had fortunately found a spell at the first opportunity. She appeared to have good aptitude, as she grasped the intricacies of its operation in a very short time and successfully applied it. Water flowed from her fingertips, ensnaring a skeletal soldier, tightening continuously until the soldier was ultimately strangled to death by her.

Although the spell is in hand, it still requires contemplation and assimilation

Blood and light rise, wolf smoke billows, people scream, and ghosts wail

The West Wind Child did not speak, yet he was aware

Countless seekers of immortality stood there, their eyes filled with confusion, clearly unaware of what they were about to face

Killing intent knife

Ning Ye did not retaliate; instead, he suddenly widened his eyes, and a murderous aura burst forth from his gaze. The man with the green face, upon seeing his eyes, felt as if he were facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and in fear, he let out a loud scream, collapsing weakly to the ground

As the voice of the West Wind Child fell, a large number of undead soldiers surged forward, their momentum soaring, swirling with smoke and dust. Even though most of them were illusions, they terrified everyone into trembling, not to mention that there were also some that truly existed

Only in this way can we confront those fallen soldiers

Suddenly, inscriptions appeared on the mountain wall behind me

Indeed

Ning Ye has already seen a robust and strong man who, unknown to where he found it, wielded a battle knife. He did not find any spells, yet he engaged in a fierce battle with a real undead soldier using only a broken knife in his hand

They approached them, wielding broken steel blades, clad in rusted armor, their hollow eyes flickering with a menacing red light

On the surface, this battlefield of the undead appears to be a place where all seekers of immortality engage in combat with the undead soldiers, but in reality, the Black and White Divine Palace has other arrangements in place

The essence of the Killing Heart Blade Technique lies in killing

The sword struck the undead soldier, cleaving it in two and scattering its skeletal remains across the ground

The trial arena was instantly thrown into chaos

The discovery of spells is a test of one's character, requiring the seeker of immortality to maintain a certain level of insight even in a state of fear and confusion. All spells have omens, which can be perceived with a little attention.

Fortunately, the Kunlun Mirror provided him with guidance; although the exact location could not be determined, it was not far off.

The seeker of immortality was greatly alarmed, thinking that he was about to die, but to his surprise, after the battle blade struck, he found that he was completely unharmed

At this moment, everyone had not yet reacted when a skeleton raised its battle knife high and struck down towards the seeker standing at the forefront

Stepping into the valley, the scene before me is already one of changing winds and clouds

He was the last to enter the valley; as soon as he entered, the valley's mouth closed, revealing a sheer cliff behind him

A punch was thrown at Ning Ye

As for the effect of spellcasting, it is a test of one's physical and mental aptitude.

He pressed against the mountain wall, his gaze calmly searching all around.

Ning Ye possesses a high level of comprehension, and the three years of cultivation experience he has gained are not without merit. Therefore, Ning Ye only needs to slightly operate the sword technique to grasp its meaning.

Ning Ye has already kicked up a leg, having repelled the undead soldier, yet the knife remains lodged in the head of the seeker of immortality

At that moment, Ning Ye saw a flash of brilliance not far away, and the shimmering characters above caused Ning Ye's heart to tremble.

As long as Ning Ye reached out and pressed down, the spells recorded on it would fly into his sea of consciousness, granting him temporary mastery of the spell. However, Ning Ye did not do so; he merely took a glance and continued on his way.

He looked in astonishment at the skeleton, only to see that the skeletal soldier had passed through his body and continued to charge forward, yet could not harm anyone.

At this moment, he walked slowly against the wall, gradually moving, unaffected by the chaos of the crowd, using the cover of the people ahead to inch forward step by step

The Killing Heart Blade Technique is now in hand

At that moment, not far from the mountain wall over there, a man with a green face also noticed the faint inscriptions on the wall.

When there is a murderous intent in the heart, the momentum of the blade will naturally take shape

It can be said that the first level of the Battlefield of the Undead imposes requirements on the four qualities of cultivators. On the surface, it appears simple, yet it contains profound meaning. The only issue is perhaps that it is excessively bloody and brutal.

Perhaps someone had previously cast a spell to alert the green-faced one, who then realized something and let out a tiger's roar as he lunged towards the murderous knife

The magic circle on the battlefield of the undead only supports the use of one type of spell, so Ning Ye must make a choice

The undead soldiers charged like a stampede of wild bulls, rampaging and driving forward, their rough, dull blades raising fresh, warm blood. The chill of the soldiers struck fear into the hearts of men, causing trepidation and despair to spread among them.

On the battlefield of the undead, slaughter erupts

However, it is only in such extreme environments that true warriors can be found

Ah!

Pounce

Ning Ye is still on a journey to find his own goal

The voice of the West Wind has echoed above the valley: "This place has been set up by us as a great formation, transforming it into a battlefield of the undead. Undead soldiers, nine false for every true. Strive to fight, kill those true undead soldiers, or be killed by them. Those who perform the best will qualify to become inner disciples directly"

The next moment

Ning Ye found himself standing on an ancient battlefield, surrounded by severed limbs and broken bodies, with bones scattered everywhere

Those who seek immortality are all mortals, lacking any real power. Even a mere undead soldier is strong enough to instill despair in them. Faced with this overwhelming tide of assault, their fighting spirit vanishes entirely, and they possess no courage to fight back. In an instant, they collapse like a house of cards, scattering like birds and beasts, and some, not killed by the undead, perish in the trampling of the multitude.

Ning Ye hurriedly ran over

In the pursuit of immortality and the quest for the Dao, one must possess the essential elements of physical strength, innate talent, character, and understanding, as none of these can be overlooked

Not good, he is close.

The piercing screams of excruciating pain and the blood that splattered wildly left everyone in shock

Ning Ye may be the calmest amidst this tragic scene
