Chapter 345: Inhumane!
Ignoring the little insects, Zhang Ye looked at the boulders erected around him.
It's not so much a boulder as a stone pillar.
These stone pillars are high and low, scattered in all directions, but they seem to form a pattern. Zhang Ye had the magical knowledge of a Saint-level Demon Array Master, so he made a judgment in an instant.
These stone pillars are part of a huge magic circle!
In other words, under this rocky plateau, there is likely to be a huge magic array in operation.
This could also explain why so many rock giants suddenly appeared, perhaps because Mike inadvertently triggered the magic circle.
Zhang Ye was extremely curious, what kind of magic array was such a magic array, and why it appeared in the miracle.
"Did you find anything?" Yanzi asked when he saw Zhang Ye studying the runes on the stone pillar.
"It seems to be ...... here A proving ground. Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Can you read the runes?"
Yanzi looked at the runes, she also had research on some rare runes on the mainland.
After all, a lot of magic needs those runes, but she doesn't know any of the glowing runes on the stone pillar in front of her.
"Hmm. Zhang Ye nodded, with systematic translation, Zhang Ye can understand any language.
Originally, he thought that these stone pillars were runes that formed the magic array, but he was worried that it didn't seem to be the case now, these runes were explaining some rules, and the huge magic array hidden under it was actually a huge testing ground.
Ancient Proving Grounds!
"The Thousand Stone Trial Ground, only those who pass the trial can obtain the qualification to enter the Divine Palace...... What the shrine is is not explained here, and the following are the rules of the proving ground. Zhang Ye looked at the runes and said.
"Tell me about it. Yanzi urged.
"The trial ground can be tested by up to fifty people at the same time, and the strongest person cannot exceed the cultivation of the two-star holy rank, there are a total of three levels, and you can obtain the qualification to enter the Divine Palace by passing three levels. β
"Now it's the first level. Zhang Ye said as he looked at the rapidly decreasing rock giants around him.
"It's just that the above record is a little different from the current situation, it indicates that there are a thousand rock giants in each level, but it seems that there are only more than eight hundred ...... at present."
"And the rules say that the strength of the rock giant in the first level is in the early ninth order, and the giant here is only about the middle of the eighth order, and the strength has seriously declined. β
"So I judged that it might be that the age of the Proving Ground was too old, which caused problems in the magic circle, the destruction of the rock giants, and the loss of mana, and the decline in strength. Zhang Ye said.
"The first level has a thousand heads in the early stage of the ninth order, but what about the second level?" Yanzi's face was solemn.
"A thousand ninth-order peaks!" Zhang Ye said:
"In each trial, fifty trialists face a thousand rock giants together, and on average, one person has to fight twenty, which is very difficult!"
"Moreover, it is stipulated that the cultivation of the trialist cannot exceed the two-star holy rank, that is to say, the highest can only be the one-star holy rank, to say that fifty one-star holy ranks beat a thousand rock giants at the peak of the ninth order, but the third level is ......" Zhang Ye frowned.
"What's wrong with the third level?" asked Yanzi hurriedly.
"The third level is a thousand one-star Saint Rank rock giants!" Zhang Ye said solemnly, and suddenly Yanzi gasped.
This is equivalent to a one-star Saint Rank trialist having to face twenty strong people of the same rank at the same time, and the defense of the rock giant far exceeds that of the same level, plus this is a siege, it is impossible to give you a chance to fight twenty, this is not as simple as one plus one equals two, fifty to one thousand is much more difficult than one to twenty, so the difficulty has to be doubled!
Yanzi's cultivation is a one-star holy rank, with a cross-level combat power, plus the tyrannosaurus war hammer and demon flame, he can even fight with the three-star holy rank, but it is absolutely impossible to fight twenty powerhouses of the same rank at the same time.
As for Zhang Ye...... This guy is a bug, the ninth-order cultivator has the late-stage combat power of the six-star holy rank, can you believe it?
So this trial is simply inhumane!
And this trial is still continuous, which means that you have to pass three levels in a row, with a short interval of only three minutes, which barely gives you a chance to recover your mana, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty again.
The person who set up this trial is a pervert, Zhang Ye couldn't help but think about it, and sneezed at the same time.
Who's scolding me?
Zhang Ye touched his nose, and suddenly felt a little weak, this feeling came from an unknown reason.
"What kind of place is this Divine Palace, passing this trial is just to obtain the qualification to enter the Divine Palace?" Yanzi wondered, and when he heard this, Zhang Ye's eyes lit up.
This shrine ......
Won't it be...... That black palace you saw, right?
Suddenly, Zhang Ye was a little excited, and asked, "Sister Yanzi, did you see that black palace when you teleported in?"
"Black Palace?" Yanzi was stunned and shook his head:
"I came in the blink of an eye when I teleported, and I didn't see any palaces. β
"No?" Zhang Ye looked surprised.
How could there not be, such a big palace...... Wait, you can't be the only one who can see it, right?
"Whew, that's cool!"
Mike wiped the sweat from his forehead, he had just experienced a hearty battle, and he felt refreshed even if he was only an assistant.
The battle was over, and more than 800 rock giants had been wiped out, leaving only a pile of rubble on the ground.
Seeing everyone coming, Zhang Ye hurriedly asked, "Everyone, did you see the black palace when you teleported in?"
Everyone was stunned by his question, and then shook their heads in unison: "No." β
Sure enough, as Zhang Ye guessed, only he could see the black palace.
Then Zhang Ye told everyone what he had just discovered, and everyone was shocked.
"Damn, there's still a second and third level, and a one-star holy level? How can this be played?" Mike shouted, "Boss, what should I do?
But Zhang Ye shook his head: "I just took a look and found that this trial cannot be exited, no, you can go three kilometers away to take a look, we have been isolated by the power of the law." β
Wen Yan,
Yanzi swooped for an hour, and reappeared after more than ten seconds, nodding: "I can't get out, there is an invisible wall blocking it, and I can't get out of the sky and the earth." β
The atmosphere sank.
"Boss......" Everyone looked at Zhang Ye.
They knew very well that if they could not pass this trial, they would end up being consumed alive by the rock giants.
And the difficulty of the third level is simply terrifying, it is not something they can withstand at all, it is a holy level, and there are a thousand of them!
I guess these little scum of the rank are not enough to pinch with one hand.
At this time, Zhang Ye has become the backbone, and everyone expects him to come up with some way.
Zhang Ye looked at the solemn faces of the crowd and smiled:
"Don't worry, this trial ground is very old, the strength of the rock giants has seriously declined, and the number has also decreased, in general, the difficulty of the trial has decreased a lot, maybe we can pass it?"
"Boss, is it really possible?" Mike and the others looked hopeful.
"Of course!" Zhang Ye patted his chest confidently: "It's all said, I'm covering you!"
"The next two levels, just leave it to me!" Zhang Ye said.
But what about the reality?
He was also not sure to pass the third level.
That's a thousand one-star holy ranks, and Zhang Ye wasn't sure if his magic reserves were enough, but now only he could lead everyone through the trial, so he had to stand up.
The ground, suddenly trembling wildly!
The second level is coming!
......
Hundreds of beads floated from the ground again, but unlike before, they were red.
The boulders coalesced again, and one after another rock giants gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Zhang Ye didn't hesitate, quickly drew the magic array, and then put his hand on the ground.
Fortress of Light!
Four seemingly thin but terrifying defensive light screens appeared around everyone, completely protecting them.
Before it was over, Zhang Ye drew several Saint-level defensive magic in a row to completely protect everyone.
!
!
!
He couldn't let everyone take any damage, and he had to maximize his magic power for a limited amount of time.
The rock giants have condensed.
These rock giants were very different from the previous ones, the previous giants were only seven or eight meters tall, but each of these in front of them was more than fifteen meters tall, and there were runes floating on the surface of the stones, it was obvious that their defense was stronger.
In Zhang Ye's perception, there were more than eight hundred rock giants, each of which had a ninth-order early stage cultivation!
Sure enough, because the time span was too long, both the magic circle and the rock giant were destroyed to a certain extent.
Zhang Ye looked at the rock giants who had already condensed and were ready to attack, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if it was only to this extent, he might be able to operate a wave.
He raised his hand, and the next moment, the ground trembled!
Gravity!
With the assistance of the system's intelligent brain, Zhang Ye perfectly locked every rock giant, and directly released the gravity technique on them, Zhang Ye's gravity technique released a large range, often one gravity technique can envelop the range of more than a dozen giants, and these gravity techniques are all a hundred times superimposed!
In an instant, all the rock giants suddenly stood unsteadily, and were crushed to the ground by gravity, and their huge bodies smashed into the ground with huge kinetic energy, making the ground tremble.
Then they immediately tried to get up, but Zhang Ye's hand pressed down again.
Two hundredfold gravity!
Gravity may not be as effective in individuals with light weight and high strength.
Just like an ant, it can lift an object that weighs tens or even hundreds of times its own weight, but the elephant scale is not even as powerful as a human.
The hundredfold gravity technique is equivalent to a hundred self-pressing on the body, and it is directly applied to any position in the body, internal organs, bones, and blood, not as simple as just pressing it.
The rock giant's body that was about to hold up sank again, smashing to the ground, and this time, the runes on the surface of their bodies began to flicker wildly, and they were already unable to move.
Although the strength of the rock giants is great, their weight is even more terrifying, and their fifteen-meter-tall bodies are completely composed of special rocks, which is extremely heavy, so the effect of gravity on them is doubled!
Two hundred of themselves pressed on their bodies, even if the strength of the rock giant was great, it would not help, they could only ensure that they would not be crushed and exploded.
Almost.
Zhang Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"The time limit set by the Proving Ground is half a day, and then I will limit these rock giants, card the second level, and then draw as many Holy Rank Defense Demon Arrays as possible during this time, so that the third level is more guaranteed. β
When everyone heard this, they nodded, their eyes revealing their admiration for Zhang Ye.
Now only Zhang Ye can lead them through the trial.
The rock giant couldn't move, had no power to move, and had a single means of attack, so he couldn't attack Zhang Ye and the others, so Zhang Ye took this opportunity to frantically draw the Holy Rank Demon Array.
One, two......
Ten, twenty......
Zhang Ye didn't dare to relax, because the third level had to face a thousand holy steps!
The Holy Rank is different from the Ninth Order, the Rock Giant of the Holy Rank is not only more terrifying in defense and strength, but also has a certain amount of law power, it is not the same thing to have the power of the law, the difficulty of the third level is definitely more than ten times that of the second level!
Fifty!
Zhang Ye's forehead was already sweating, and his huge mana reserves couldn't afford to be consumed like this, so he could only sit down and meditate and recover his mana.
Fortunately, as his level increased, his speed of recovery became faster and faster, and in just ten seconds, his magic power was again
The reply is the same as before, continue to draw the magic circle!
Everyone watched Zhang Ye draw the magic array over and over again, just to keep them from being harmed, and they admired Zhang Ye more and more in their hearts.
Yanzi looked at Zhang Ye and felt a little distressed, so much so that her palms were pinched white.
Seventy...... Eighty......
Ninety......
Hundred!
Finally, a hundred Holy Rank Defense Demon Arrays were drawn, and in this way, even if a thousand Holy Ranks attacked at the same time, it would take at least half an hour to break through all the defenses.
Zhang Ye wiped his sweat, then looked at the rock giants around him who were constantly rubbing on the ground, and nodded: "It's almost, the duration of the Holy Order Demon Array is limited, and we have to clear the level as soon as possible." β
"Everyone get ready, just in case, take out the ring, once my defensive demon array can't hold it, you immediately release the arrow of air slow, and then run over there, it's a big deal, let's fight guerrilla warfare!" Zhang Ye planned all the escape routes through the magic link, which shows how far he has done for everyone.
Everyone nodded with gratitude, and got ready.
Zhang Ye took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and shook it!
500 times gravity!
The terrifying weight acted on the body, the ground sank, and no matter how hard the rock giant's body was, it couldn't withstand the pressure of these hundreds of thousands of tons.
And the harder it is, the more brittle it is, and when the five hundred times gravity technique is released instantly, the surface of the rock giant's body makes a clicking sound, and cracks appear on the rock surface one after another.
The defenses were broken, the runes on their bodies shattered and dissipated, and their bodies were covered with cracks.
Zhang Ye raised his hand again, and one after another magic impacts acted on the rock giant, like the last straw that crushed the camel.
"Click......"
The dense sound of shattering continued to be heard, and one after another the body of the rock giant shattered, and the red beads in the body were completely exposed to the air, until the entire rock giant completely turned into rubble.
Eight hundred rock giants shattered one after another, and red beads fell to the ground, and the ground was covered with a mixture of red and blue beads.
The second level, passed!
Zhang Ye did not rest, and immediately sat cross-legged to recover his magic power.
The battle in the third level is bound to be the most intense, he has to fight against a thousand holy ranks one by one, this battle can only be won, and he must win!
From the moment this trial begins, there are only two paths for those who enter the trial.
One is to pass the trial, and the other is to die in the trial!
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Ye took this opportunity to draw another thirty magic arrays.
Finally, the ground trembled again, and Zhang Ye immediately began to recover his magic power to ensure that the amount of blue was sufficient.
Under the ground, golden beads slowly rose into the air, these beads were the size of a human head, each exuding terrifying fluctuations, and at the same time as rising into the air, black boulders continued to emerge from the ground, condensing on the beads.
Soon, the rock giant of the third level condensed.
Each rock giant is thirty meters tall, and no longer looks round and bloated like the previous rock giants, the black boulders that make up their bodies are sharp and angular, and their bodies are like muscular hunks, inverted triangles, and look oppressive.
In fact, it is also full of oppression, in Zhang Ye's perception, there are a total of more than 900 rock giants, all of which are one-star saint-level existences!
It was not much different from what was described in the rules, only a dozen or so cultivators had descended to the level of a pseudo-saint level.
The coercion emanating from nearly a thousand Saint-Rank Rock Giants condensed into one, making Zhang Ye feel the pressure doubled.
Zhang Ye stabilized his state of mind, and his divine sense was overwhelming.
The group of guys from the Valley of the Breeze had already left, and there was no one within a radius of thirty miles, so there was no need to worry about the danger of exposure.
You can wield the power of the dragon!
Zhang Ye didn't immediately use the power of the dragon, but once again did the same as beforeβthe gravity technique!
However, this time, the gravity technique did not have any effect, because when the gravity technique acted on these giants, they immediately exuded the aura of the law, and a powerful layer of gravitational waves attached to their bodies, directly canceling out the gravity technique.
It can be said that the effect of gravity on them has been directly reduced by more than 90%!
The gravity technique failed, Zhang Ye shook his head, sure enough, things are not that simple, if you can clear the level with the gravity technique, then the person who designed this trial is really stupid.
Zhang Ye exhaled, and a powerful coercion erupted from his body.
Load!
Overload!
Bloody rage!
And finally - the power of the dragon!
The golden dragon scales climbed up Zhang Ye's body surface and cheeks, the golden dragon horns revealed from his forehead, and a pair of wide dragon wings like blades opened behind his back, and the momentum of the whole person became extremely terrifying, like an emperor, which made people tremble in their hearts and bodies.
Except for those who were familiar with Zhang Ye, the other zenith students all showed surprised expressions, obviously surprised by Zhang Ye's transformation.
"No one is allowed to say anything about today's events, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Yanzi looked at Zhang Ye in the sky and said slowly.
The cold voice startled everyone, and then nodded frantically.
Then, Yanzi slowly rose, flew out of the thick layer of Saint Rank Defense Demon Array, and came to Zhang Ye's side.
"Eh, what are you doing here, go back quickly, it's dangerous here. Zhang Ye hurriedly said.
However, Yanzi smiled brightly and charmingly, and a huge dragon horn war hammer appeared in his hand.
"I'm going to fight side by side with you, don't worry, my sister won't hold back. β
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, his heart was warm, and he smiled: "Okay, but if you can't hold it, go back immediately, otherwise I will be distracted." β
"Also, don't use the Demon Flame ......"
......
......
ps: I'm no longer short!!
