Chapter 1220 - 1078: Breaking the Record 2
That might be the only possibility, and that is—they're all dead!Nangong Qingyu was punished by the Nangong Family because of this matter, and she estimated that she had fallen from grace in the eyes of the family elders.
To her, this was even more unbearable than death!
And now she saw Duan Gujin and Shi Potian here, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Could it be that the two of them deliberately left out some important clues and didn't tell me?"
Upon second thought, she felt this was highly likely.
"That Shi Potian found many trinkets from those coffins before, and I never took a look at what those trinkets were! It must be him, deliberately hiding some important clues and not telling me, which led to the tragic deaths of my two uncles and over thirty Nangong Family elites there!"
Nangong Qingyu looked at Duan Gujin and Shi Potian with deep hatred, but she quickly realized that she couldn't seize this chance to kill the two of them here.
"I'll wait for the right opportunity to strike!"
She exhaled a breath of turbid air, thinking to herself.
After a while, the elder in charge of the test instructed the five hundred plus participants to proceed to the second stage.
The crowd approached the second stage and immediately gasped, their hearts pounding.
In front of them appeared an iron bridge composed of towering stone pillars over a hundred meters high, linked together by countless iron chains.
The crowd looked down to see dense trees beneath these stone pillars.
They figured that if they fell from the iron bridge, they probably wouldn't die.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen. This second stage is called the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven. You must charge forward across these iron bridges—the chains will get smaller as you proceed! Moreover, the power of the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven will increase! You must be cautious! If you fall from the iron bridge, you'll fail this stage! Everyone, do you see this railing in front? As soon as someone enters the iron bridge and hasn't crossed it yet, the railing will block you! Once someone crosses the iron bridge or falls off, the railing will lift, allowing you to proceed! There's a strong Forbidden Space Power about a meter below the bridge; if you fall, you won't be able to fly back up! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The disciples on site promptly responded.
"Then go one by one; don't rush. This stage isn't too difficult for you!"
The elder in charge of the test said.
The disciples present had experienced many similar tests before and knew the key to this type of iron bridge test was to maintain stability and pace.
The elder then instructed the disciples to enter the iron bridge one by one according to their Recording Name Plates.
Duan Gujin glanced at the iron bridge ahead, estimating it stretched a kilometer.
Where they stood, there were over twenty chains leading to the massive stone pillars ahead.
The disciples immediately used their treasures to prepare to traverse the iron bridge ahead.
There was no restriction on the use of treasures by the participating disciples here.
On the surface, this seemed biased towards those disciples with many treasures.
But in the Divine World, major sects allowed disciples to exchange Merit Points for treasures.
As long as a disciple was willing to complete their sect's tasks diligently, they could exchange for many treasures.
Allowing sect disciples to use treasures for these tests is somewhat an encouragement for disciples to complete their missions diligently.
In the Divine World, survival of the fittest is a crucial survival law.
Duan Gujin released treasures from his body, circulating his Primordial Power to prepare for the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven ahead.
"The name of this place is really tacky! Wind and Fire Dual Heaven! Next time, how about Ice and Fire Dual Heaven instead!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Some martial artists nearby began to discuss quietly.
Then, one by one, they started walking towards the iron bridge ahead.
Those martial artists who hadn't entered the bridge widened their eyes to observe how those ahead dealt with the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven.
Initially, everyone thought this stage wasn't hard. To their surprise, they saw at least a dozen martial artists fall off the bridge before reaching a hundred meters.
The elder responsible for the test had said that once those martial artists fell off the bridge, they would be bound by the Forbidden Space Power and couldn't fly back, meaning they failed this test.
"Oh no, those twenty people all failed!"
After a while, everyone was shocked to find out the first twenty people had all failed.
Seeing this, the martial artists on site frowned deeply.
Before, they all wished to be the first to cross the bridge.
They knew that being the first meant not having to wait in a long line.
But now, seeing the first twenty fail, they wished they wouldn't be next.
"Unbelievable, I didn't expect the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven to be so difficult!"
"Exactly! It's too hard!"
"Did you see how those martial artists fell?"
"I only saw them suddenly surrounded by flames, then they fell!"
"I did too!"
After discussing for a while, some martial artists speculated that the sudden flames were the problem.
They just couldn't figure out what the sudden flames were.
"Next, those with Recording Name Plates ending with three, get ready!"
Duan Gujin moved to the front of the line, as his Recording Name Plate ended with three.
Standing at the front, he proceeded forward.
He was extremely cautious; he didn't want to end up like the previous twenty martial artists who only managed to walk a little over a hundred meters before being defeated by this stage's Array.
After advancing over ten meters, he heard a very faint sound of something slicing through the air ahead.
The sound was so faint that even a Ninth-level Martial Saint disciple couldn't hear it.
But Duan Gujin's Spiritual Power was exceptional, allowing him to hear distant, small sounds.
"The problem should lie ahead!"
He recalled how the fallen martial artists had flames suddenly appear on them after walking about eighty meters, then they caught fire.
His eyes lit up, having a general understanding of the upcoming issue.
Cautiously, he advanced another thirty meters when he sensed strong Wind and Fire Attribute Powers suddenly appear about ten meters ahead.
His heart moved, quickly understanding what was going on.
"So that's how it is!"
He deduced that the Wind and Fire Dual Heaven was set up in the area about ten meters ahead; once martial artists approached it, they would be attacked.
He advanced another five meters, sensing strong Wind and Fire Attribute Powers below about ten meters ahead.
"The Array Eye of Wind and Fire Dual Heaven is right ahead!"
His eyes brightened as he realized the possibility.
"I understand now!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, circulated his Primordial Power, and sped forward quickly.
The martial artists behind saw Duan Gujin swiftly move forward on the iron bridge, like a flash of lightning, and each frowned slightly, puzzled by his actions.
Almost simultaneously, a burst of flame erupted exactly where Duan Gujin had just passed.
Everyone widened their eyes, watching to see if Duan Gujin, like the others, would fall off the bridge.
In the next moment, they saw Duan Gujin standing on the iron bridge ahead, having not fallen off.
"Oh my God, how did he get through?"
The martial artists present immediately started discussing, asking their companions.
