The strength that Su Changkong had just displayed instinctively deterred them from engaging in a fight to the death with him, for even if they could kill him, they too might fall!
Having grown into Saint Level undead, prioritizing their own safety was instinctual.
"They didn’t follow?" Xia Yanyi let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the strength Su Changkong had shown successfully deterred the three Saint Level undead and made them give up. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to fight to the death with an opponent of the same level!
"That damn bastard! I must tear him to pieces!"
Hong Zhenxiang said viciously, able to feel that Su Changkong’s last arrow had not killed the Blood Divine Child.
The Blood Divine Child refrained from further attacks due to the surrounding undead, or more precisely, for fear that the aftershocks of the battle would kill the nearby undead, marking him with the death imprint and subjecting him to the continuous erosion of the Death Mountain Range.
The power that Su Changkong had displayed made the Blood Divine Child understand that it would not be easy to kill him, and the aftershocks of the battle between them would be too great, killing the sea-like undead around them, forcing the Blood Divine Child to temporarily give up.
"When that man in the blood robe used his techniques just now, it was similar to the disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect from before, is he a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect?"
Su Changkong felt his body continuously eroded by the Death Mountain Range and recalled the brief attack of the Blood Divine Child, realizing why he might have been ambushed in such a place.
Su Changkong had previously slain several disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect; the man in the blood robe showed intense killing intent upon seeing him, which made sense if he was a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect!
"The Ancient Demon Sect, a top sect of the Ancient Holy Country, has come to these smaller places to stir up trouble..."
Su Changkong also felt a wave of anger within him, knowing that the Ancient Demon Sect turned entire declining noble families into Blood Divine Seeds, an utterly heartless act of the Demon Path, and the man in the blood robe even maliciously lured two Saint Level undead to kill by proxy. Su Changkong was undoubtedly full of killing intent and would make sure he paid a heavy price later!
"First, let’s leave the Death Mountain Range..."
Having just unleashed his limiting strike and killing a large number of undead, Su Changkong was also branded with their death marks, continuing to face erosion, and the longer he delayed, the more dangerous it became. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Su Changkong’s vision blurred, but fortunately, after traveling for over an hour, the gray fog ahead gradually dissipated, and he had left the range of the Death Mountain Range. The death imprints on Su Changkong’s body also started to break apart, and his body began to feel lighter.
As they left the Death Mountain Range, what appeared before them was a massive mountain, its summit lost in the clouds, its end invisible at a glance.
"Thank goodness... We’re safe."
Xia Yanyi exhaled a long sigh of relief, their encounter with the Blood Divine Child’s ambush had been perilous, but thanks to Su Changkong’s powerful strength, he had deterred the Blood Divine Child and the three Saint Level undead and safely escaped.
"Younger Brother Su’s strength is becoming increasingly inscrutable... The combat power he displayed just now, it wouldn’t be less than some of those Saint Level Martial Artists, right?"
Hong Zhenxiang was also shocked by the rapid improvement of Su Changkong’s strength, which was beyond any logical measurement.
"Let’s go, up the mountain," Su Changkong took a deep breath and said, with revenge to be dealt with slowly in time!
Having left the range of the Death Mountain Range and no longer being suppressed by it, they could now fly.
Su Changkong used White Crane Escapes, the phantom White Crane carrying Su Changkong, Hong Zhenxiang, and Xia Yanyi toward the summit of the mountain.
The mountain was tens of thousands of meters high, with clouds only reaching halfway up its side.
Upon reaching the summit, they found a twisting Giant Gate standing atop it, and outside the Giant Gate stood a vague figure shrouded in mist, the Mirror Master they had encountered previously after passing through the Night God Country!
After experiencing the pursuit and killing by the undead throughout the Death Mountain Range, this cold figure in the mirror felt surprisingly comforting to Su Changkong and his companions.
Su Changkong and the others jumped down from the back of the White Crane and landed in front of the Mirror Master.
The Mirror Master looked at the three before him and mentioned with a hint of admiration, "Not bad, you three are the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth to arrive here."
"So nine individuals have already passed through the Death Mountain Range before us?" Su Changkong silently pondered.
Others from great families across various countries had already entered Mirror Heaven and Earth before them, with nine already having passed the test of the Death Mountain Range, and undoubtedly, more were on the way.
The test of the Death Mountain Range was dangerous, but the nine nations of humanity always had capable individuals who could get through, and those who did were usually among the top Innate beings, either Great Grandmasters who mastered several pseudo Divine Skills or reincarnated Martial Saints with a Divine Seed!
Hong Zhenxiang rubbed his hands together eagerly and said, "We’ve made it past the Death Mountain Range, and according to what you said before, we should all receive a corresponding reward, right?"
Su Changkong and Xia Yanyi also looked forward with anticipation, according to the Mirror Master’s previous statement, the reward for passing the third challenge of the Death Mountain Range would bring them to the divine seed realm!
"The first ninety-nine who cross the Death Mountain Range can choose any one reward, you can state what you desire," said the Mirror Master, his voice cold and mechanical.
The Mirror Master left countless treasures behind, but they weren’t infinite, only the first ninety-nine to cross the Death Mountain Range would receive rewards!
Xia Yanyi, eyes blazing, said, "I want an Unparalleled Technique at the level of Great Divine Power that suits me!"
"An Unparalleled Technique of Great Divine Power?" Su Changkong and Hong Zhenxiang both twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths upon hearing this.
