Chapter 5: The Soul Mill
The battle of the four thousand ghosts was not suspenseful except for the first district, and the other districts were all very miserable, and near the end, several high-level ghosts picked off a champion, and finally one of them fought out of the encirclement. Another one that impressed Long Yu was that the last battle of the Tenth District Champion faced the siege of six high-level ghosts, after killing the three of them, his soul power was a little insufficient, but he used the means of kneeling to beg for mercy to confuse the other party, and then successfully killed the remaining ghosts, and finally successfully defended.
The four of them did not dislike it, in this cruel battle for survival, defeat means losing everything, even if it is a chance to exchange humiliation, it should be worthy of respect, not contempt.
The loser has no opportunity to criticize the successful person's unfolding means, and intrigue is also one of the means of survival, this is another gain that Long Yu feels in the second test, of course, the main gain is in the world of martial arts, cowardly begging for mercy can never live the humble self!
Above the square, the scene of the four flashes of soul swords slowly dissipated, until the new champion who created a miracle in the fifteenth district absorbed the last ghost, and the battle of the four thousand ghosts came to an end, and the twenty ghosts who had been given the opportunity to enter the soul tower gathered together.
Dong Lao clapped his palms and walked to the front of the stage, and said to the remaining twenty ghosts: "Very good, you all behaved well, next, I will take you to the Soul Rebirth Tower, to face your ultimate test, so that you can obtain the qualification to be reborn in the Cloud Capital Domain!"
Dong Lao nodded at the other three old men, and the four of them flew like a streamer towards the twenty gathered ghosts.
Long Yu felt that he was being dragged by a big hand, and an old and kind voice sounded in his ears: "Old man, I am very optimistic about you, I remember that the road of martial arts is extremely difficult, in addition to outstanding talent, you must also have a tenacious and unyielding character, the longer the soul grinding plate persists, the better it will be to enter the soul tower later, and the higher the level of the soul tower, the better, and the tenth layer will have unexpected surprises, but you must not force it." ”
Long Yu heard the voice and knew that this person was Dong Lao, although he still had some good feelings for this charitable old man, but after this resurrection, he silently made up his mind in his heart that he must become a strong man in this Cloud Capital Domain, or even a strong man in the Cloud Sky Great World, and take his fate into his own hands.
After passing through a bright area and then a dark area, Long Yu felt that his eyes lit up, and everyone had come to an ancient cave, and twenty ghosts were gathered together again.
With a wave of their right hands, the four lightsabers were inserted into the four small holes in a stone wall, and the four of them then urged a purple cyclone to spin the sword, and soon after, the stone wall slowly opened to both sides, and a dazzling bright light shot out. When Long Yu got used to it, a tower of light flashing with different colors appeared in front of him, the tower of light had ten layers, but only the first to fifth floors were lit, and the sixth layer and above revealed mystery and coercion, making the twenty ghosts feel terrified.
There are also nine glazed grinding discs in front of the light tower, each of which exudes a seeping light, and the space seems to be distorted, the nine grinding discs are connected to each other, but the exit of each grinding disc after the third grinding disc happens to be the entrance to the light tower.
"Soul millstone, as the name suggests, is to make your soul power stronger for the last time before entering the soul tower, the nine millstones can only be qualified to enter the soul tower through the first three, the millstone will completely crush your soul power and thoughts, and then recover, so the continuous cycle, if you can survive it, it will be of great help to your soul power condensation, but if you can't survive, the result will be ashes, so you should be cautious after successfully passing the test of the three grinding plates, although the soul power determines the strength of your soul after rebirth, but the price of the soul power becoming stronger is likely to be scattered on this soul。 ”
Before the test began, Dong Lao warned the twenty ghosts.
"In order to get that chance of rebirth, I must work hard and try to hold on to the test of more grinding discs, so that I can have a chance to see the tenth layer of surprise that Dong Lao hinted at. ”
"At this level we will return your consciousness to you, and although your body is a condensed body of light, your body is real, and every inch of wound will hurt your soul. Well, the assessment starts with the twentieth champion. ”
"Ah...."With a wave of Dong Lao's hand, the twentieth champion entered the first soul grinding plate, and immediately let out a burst of screams, causing the remaining nineteen ghosts to feel a deep sense of pain in that scream.
After ten breaths, the screaming stopped, but less than twenty breaths screamed again, and after half a pillar of incense, the screams sounded again, only this time the twentieth champion did not scream a few times and there was no sound.
Dong Lao shook his head and said to the remaining nineteen ghosts: "He only lasted until the third soul grinding plate, and his soul flew away!
Although there was fear, the Nineteen Champions of the Earth were thrown into the first soul mill before they could resist, and the screams came and went.
The three ghosts in succession were scattered in the third millstone, leaving the remaining ghosts without the slightest joy of being reborn, and filled with deep fear of this soul millstone.
Fortunately, the sixteenth Ring Lord successfully passed the test of the third soul mill and successfully entered the soul tower, which reduced the fear of the remaining ghosts.
The fourteenth champion successfully passed the assessment....
The twelfth champion successfully passed the assessment....
Long Yu was the last to pass the assessment, and there were already nine people who had passed the assessment before, except for the third master who passed the test of four grinding discs and the second master who passed the test of five grinding discs, the other seven ghosts who passed only just met the requirements, and only passed the test of three grinding discs and gave up.
With a wave of Dong Lao's hand, Long Yu accurately landed in the first grinding plate.
Pain!
When Long Yu entered the first soul mill, an irresistible huge force immediately enveloped his entire body, under that terrifying power, Long Yu directly lost control of his body in an instant, and then, he felt that his body began to collapse inch by inch.
And when the body is torn apart, a sharp pain that cannot be described in words erodes into the soul.
The Soul Mill Disc rotated slowly at a constant speed, as if nothing in heaven and earth could stop this seemingly slow speed.
And Long Yu's soul, under the soul millstone, was like an ant, and the severe pain made his body curl up tightly, and cracks visible to the naked eye covered every part of his body.
When he personally experienced this so-called severe pain, Long Yu Fang understood why every ghost who had just entered the soul mill let out such a miserable scream, it turned out that this kind of pain was already so intense!
No wonder Dong Lao would say before that he would return everyone's perception, Long Yu was willing to Dong Lao deprive himself of his perception at the moment, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain the last trace of clarity of consciousness, trying not to let himself be overwhelmed by the flood of severe pain.
"Click......"
And under this torment, there were more and more cracks on Long Yu's soul body, and after a while, he suddenly trembled, and his condensed body suddenly burst open at this moment, turning into countless points of light......
His body, soul, and consciousness were directly crushed away by this soul millstone.
And just as Long Yu's body burst open, a cloud of glazed light suddenly poured out from the soul mill, and then wrapped that ball of light in.
A trace of Long Yu's consciousness floated in those points of light, and he could feel that the white rays that poured out of the soul mill were filled with a strange energy, and under that energy, those scattered points of light were actually converging on his consciousness again!
Slowly, as more and more points of light condensed, Long Yu's crushed body was actually restored again!
Long Yu thought of the scene just now, his body couldn't help but shake, and only then did he pass the test of the first soul grinding disk, and the soul grinding disk after that would definitely make the severe pain worse, but giving up means that the soul is scattered, he must not bear the result of failure, and he cannot afford the result of failure. Gritting his teeth, he resolutely floated towards the second soul millstone, and the sharp pain that was enough to make people crazy before, but it was overwhelming again!
In the soul mill with a faint glass light, the millstone still maintained a constant speed and slowly rotated, and in the middle of the rotation, a terrifying force was once again poured into the unyielding soul light and shadow.
"Snort...."
The subtle sound of the body being crushed gently echoed in this space, but every time this voice sounded once, the four of them couldn't help but tremble slightly, when they came to implement this arrangement of the Yuntian Emperor, the body formed by the soul was also tested by the soul grinding plate, and the pain made them were terrified when they thought about it.
The nine soul grinding discs slowly rotated, as if they were in a never-ending cycle, and under the sixth grinding disc, a soul body, like an ant, tempered its soul with a will, between explosion and recovery!
"The Sixth Soul Mill ......"
I don't know how long it took, Dong Lao's eyes looked at the figure under the soul mill with some surprise, and it could feel that the latter was actually at the end of the crossbow, but he just insisted on it with a will.
When a moment later, when that light and shadow stubbornly floated towards the seventh soul mill again, Dong Lao's face couldn't help twitching, he couldn't hold on to the seventh soul mill in the first place.
"Snort...."
Another slight cracking sound sounded, and the shock in Dong Lao's eyes was even stronger, but this astonishment gradually turned into a touch of solemnity when another voice sounded half an hour later.
The eighth soul grinds the plate.
Long Yu withstood the test of the seven soul grinding discs, and endured seven cycles of body, consciousness, and soul being crushed, restored, and then crushed....
"This kid, the toughness is very good, it seems that he was a martial arts genius in his previous life!" Nan Lao and the three looked at Dong Lao with a solemn face, the three of them only insisted on the test of six grinding discs, even Dong Lao, who was stronger than them, did not insist on the seventh grinding disc, and Nan Lao's eyes were already full of admiration.
"Sure enough, it's another demon similar to the Emperor of Yuntian, it seems that there is no suspense in the outcome, it depends on whether he can reach the tenth layer of the Soul Tower and get what Yuntian left there. Bei Lao couldn't help but admire.
