Chapter 1222: Life and death corridor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The five universe masters in there were all extremely powerful. The three from the Divine Eye Clan were all of one mind, one heart. Deer Bug Master had a supreme true treasure that he kept close to him. Liu Jiu Master was the most difficult to kill out of all plant life forms.

Luo Feng took one look at Duan Dong River, who was still standing at the same spot with his eyes shut. Although Luo Feng wanted to inquire about something, he decided to give up on that thought. It would be a futile attempt.

“Another was annihilated,” Duan Dong River suddenly said. “Left with three.”

Luo Feng’s heart lurched. This… This life and death corridor was much too dangerous. Those universe masters who dared break deep into its internal domain—how impressive they were? Even if universe supreme masters were thinking of annihilating them, they could not be this fast, right? In the blink of an eye, two more were annihilated.

Deer Bug Master is the most powerful. The three from Divine Eye Clan are of one mind and one heart. And Liu Jiu Master is a fifth-tier universe master and also a plant life-form. Compared to the three of them, I am the weakest. Now, out of five, two have been annihilated… What if I were to go in?

Luo Feng frowned as he started to worry.

Flame Ice region, at the cabin door area of the Boat of Mausoleum.

Jittery Sea Master, Red Lark Master, and Giant Rock Master were standing at the cabin door entrance. Jittery Sea Master and Red Lark Master had both sent their other bodies back to their clan to make a report… As for Rock Giant Master, of course, he too would be making arrangements to send his other body back to where his group of power was to make a report.

“No—”

Rock Giant Master’s massive body trembled.

“Liu Jiu!” Rock Giant Master suddenly let out a hoarse shout. His crazy voice was filled with anguish.

Peng!

He fell to his knees heavily, and his knees smashed the sturdy floor tiles at the cabin door area of the Boat of Mausoleum as both his hands grasped the edges of the ground. His implacable emotions could not be held back. His raving roars and strange yowls were high-pitched and mournful; there were also shouts that expressed complete hysteria, and Rock Giant Master’s godly body trembled and contorted.

Beside him, Jittery Sea Master and Red Lark Master were taken aback. Both looked at Rock Giant Master in his state of hysteria, then back at one another.

“Liu Jiu Master must have been annihilated.”

“Yes, I guess she must have been annihilated. It is said that wherever Liu Jiu Master is, there will be Rock Giant Master, always. For countless years—close to three reincarnation eras—Rock Giant Master had been silently following Liu Jiu Master. It seems he has very deep feelings for her. The moment Liu Jiu Master got annihilated, Rock Giant Master went crazy.”

The two, on the other hand, were gloating over Liu Jiu Master’s misfortune. Both of them were unable to receive the inheritance, but so what? If they had been able to go and try to receive the inheritance, they would still have faced the fate of annihilation!

“Ah, ah, ah! Ah!”

Rock Giant Master was still letting out crazy roars while waving his eight arms about. Fist after fist crashed heavily against the ground.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

The heavy impacts of the crashes brought a faint quake to the ground. As the floor of the Boat of Mausoleum was incomparably sturdy, even universe supreme masters would not be able to bring harm to it—much less the fists of Rock Giant Master. Insane, heavy punches smashed about until the surfaces of the eight fists started to shatter and crack.

“Inheritance! That detestable inheritance, that detestable inheritance was what killed you. Revenge, revenge, revenge!” Rock Giant Master was howling in pain. “I’m going to destroy this inheritance! I’m going to destroy it and kill the heir who wins it. Kill them…! Duan Dong River. Duan Dong River, it’s all because of you! It’s your fault, it’s your fault! I am going to cut off your inheritance—sever it! I will avenge Liu Jiu!”

Soon after, Rock Giant Master turned about suddenly and charged toward the control room of the Boat of Mausoleum.

Jittery Sea Master and Red Lark Master laughed coldly as they stood aside and watched everything with indifference.

“Crazy.”

“Rock life-forms are really set in stone. How rigid their minds are! And it is starting to go crazy.”

Merely a short moment later, Rock Gian Master’s massive figure returned.

“Can’t cross over anymore, can’t cross over anymore.” Rock Giant Master shook his head. His eyes were filled with sorrow and anguish. “I told you that I will always be with you… My doomsday is nearing, but you were annihilated before me… Liu Jiu…”

Rock Giant Master slumped into a corner at the cabin door entrance with a loud bang. There he sat, leaning against the wall wordlessly.

Jittery Sea Master and Red Lark Master felt a little fearful, so they moved further away and walked into the public square of the hall, not daring to be near to Rock Giant Master.

Outside the floodgate of the corridor.

Luo Feng stood where he was silently and could subtly feel the energy waves. Suddenly, the energy waves stopped.

“Huh?” Luo Feng felt a constriction in his heart.

Duan Dong River opened his eyes and gently nodded. “Still all right. Just two dead!” Then he turned to look at Luo Feng, “You, go in.”

Following his voice, that wide and sturdy floodgate that was shut earlier started to rise with a rumble again, revealing that deep corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was not a single figure. This made Luo Feng all the more fearful. Even with the five of them moving together, two were dead. For him to act alone, would it be a blessing or a curse?

“Either you give up, or you move forward.” Duan Dong River cast a look at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng returned Duan Dong River’s look and, without further hesitation, flew in.

Hong!

The gigantic floodgate behind him lowered with a loud crash. Then it was sealed again.

“No chance of backing out now.” Luo Feng took one look at the floodgate behind him, then lifted his head to look deep into the corridor. “I would like to take a look at what this life and death corridor has that could annihilate two out of the five of them.”

Sou!

He transformed into a beam of light and moved forward at high speed.

The corridor ran deep. Sometimes it became narrower, other times it widened. Flying for a short moment, his path ahead seemed to get even darker. Within the deep, hazy passageway, Luo Feng’s eyesight still allowed him a clear vision of his surroundings.

“Huh?” Luo Feng frowned and stopped to hover in midair.

Not far ahead, a tall figure lay on the ground. His body resembled that of a human. There was a large amount of hair on his head and neck like a lion. His neck was thick and strong, and both his eyes were shut. Half the surface of his godly body was protected with a layer of black armor, and when Luo Feng appeared, that tall figure suddenly sat up and opened both his eyes.

With both eyes emitting faint red light, it stared at Luo Feng.

“All you have to do is to survive Cuello’s blows.” An icy-cold voice sounded by Luo Feng’s ears.

He recognized the voice right away. It was Duan Dong River.

“You cannot hide in your palace or such true treasures. If that is the case, then I have no choice but to eliminate you. You must meet the battles head-on. Hiding within palace type true treasures is not allowed. Other than that, all other weapons can be used. Two out of the five were annihilated at the hands of Cuello earlier on. I hope that you will survive.”

Hong!

The seated figure suddenly stood up. He had a body that was more than 100 kilometers tall and eyes that were icy-cold, exuding an endless, murderous aura. The corridor was approximately 6,000 kilometers wide, which was enough for combat.

“I must meet the battles head-on?” Luo Feng descended slowly. He looked at that strange existence with the name of ‘Cuello’ from afar. “Why did Duan Dong River call it Cuello? From endless eras ago until now, for it to remain, it most likely is not a life form.”

“Roar! Die!”

The monster, Cuello, let out a roar and charged over in big strides.

Shua!

It transformed into a streak of light, and before Luo Feng knew it, it had already arrived before him.

Luo Feng also followed suit and acted immediately. This monster, Cuello, left here by Duan Dong River, could annihilate two universe masters. Of course, Luo Feng would not dare to be careless. The moment he arrived, he was prepared to fight with all he had. He entered the state of the heart of Beast God right away. With a loud howl, he charged ahead. At the same time, his strongest right arm transformed into five gigantic golden blades, which he waved about while howling.

It was as though five battle blades were hacking down at the same time!

Third form of Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor—Extermination God!

Peng!

Monster Cuello’s head was mercilessly hacked, and its entire being seemed to become a sandbag struck into rotary motion. It was thrown backward, where it landed heavily, smashing the ground of the corridor with a great tremor.

Luo Feng was taken aback for the moment and did not follow closely after Cuello to continue with his attacks.

“What? This…?” Luo Feng was shocked. “This is the standard of what killed two universe masters?”

What a joke! Those five were extraordinary. To kill two out of five of them, at least the power of a universe supreme master would be required! And since he was only at the fourth tier before he arrived, Luo Feng had already made plans.

The moment he arrived, he would use his trump card! Then he would go along with the collision force during their exchange of blows to make use of its strength. Borrowing this force, he would make an urgent retreat! Through this very first blow, he would determine the capability of his opponent. Then he would be able to devise detailed plans.

But in reality, after a single strike… Monster Cuello was beaten right away. Without any power to resist!

Luo Feng, who had initially intended to borrow force for his urgent retreat, was dumbstruck in midair.

“What is happening? Why is it so weak? When it received one claw from me just now, the power that it displayed was so weak that even a universe master would be able to trample on it.”

Luo Feng was filled with doubts but hesitated no further. In a flash, he charged toward Cuello. Monster Cuello was already roaring as it rose to its feet, once again roaring, “Die, die, die!”

Peng!

Like a flash of lightning, Luo Feng struck it at a frighteningly fast speed. There was no way Monster Cuello could have defended himself. Right away, the blow struck his neck, causing Monster Cuello to fall flat on his face and crash to the ground with a loud bang.

“What is going on?”

Luo Feng used both legs continuously to execute a strongest secret technique, Cracking Gold. Two dazzling golden boots of light kicked at the back of Monster Cuello’s head, causing its face to “kiss” the ground twice with rumbling sounds.

“Roar!” Monster Cuello’s big, thick hands pushed against the ground to flip itself around so that it could stand up.

Luo Feng looked up in midair with furrowed brows. “Its body is quite strong. My attacks left no trace of injury on it at all. However, its ability is too weak.”

Although he could not make any sense of this, if his opponent was weak, it would be his chance trample hard on it. Luo Feng transformed into a beam of light and instantly made his way to where Monster Cuello was.

Monster Cuello was roaring while waving his fists, yet Luo Feng grabbed onto him swiftly and sent him crashing onto the ground.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

Being trampled upon repeatedly, Monster Cuello was sent sprawling on the ground or thrown against the walls of the corridor. The hair at the back of its head was grabbed by Luo Feng, who used it as a means of swinging it against the walls. For a period of time, Luo Feng moved at the speed of lightning. Repeatedly, he trampled upon Monster Cuello.

Although he was doing the trampling, Luo Feng still remained vigilant. Every single time he attacked, he made sure that he was prepared to respond to any possible violent outburst from his opponent.

“His power is soaring. Apparently, it is on the rise.”

During the trampling process, Luo Feng increasingly felt that something bad was going to happen.

He could sense that the power Monster Cuello was displaying was continuously increasing—from a senior universe knight, to a second tier universe master, to a third tier, a fourth tier… Its power was soaring with the passage of time. Where it started off easy for Luo Feng to trample on Monster Cuello, he started to find it more and more difficult to do the same.

Especially at this very moment, when Monster Cuello had almost attained the fifth-tier universe master standard. Luo Feng and Cuello would be on par with one another when it came to fighting. Yet Monster Cuello’s power was continuing to rise and surge…

Peng!

Luo Feng rolled and collided into the walls of that corridor. Then, instantly, it vanished.

Hong!

Monster Cuello’s terrifying kick crashed into the wall.

“Already at the fifth tier.” Luo Feng was forced into a tight corner. “If its power continues to rise, won’t it progress to the sixth tier. Or to a universe supreme master?”
