Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 923 - 835: Layer 2

Upon entering the second layer, he found that the beasts here were different from those in the first layer.He sensed that these beasts' strength was two minor realms higher than the beasts in the first layer.

Previously, the strength of the beasts he encountered in the first layer was all at the Sixth Level of Martial Emperor, but now the beasts he encountered here were all at the Eighth Level.

To eliminate beasts of the Eighth Level of Martial Emperor posed some difficulty for Martial Saints entering this place, but as long as they were careful, they could still easily overcome the beasts here.

However, after Duan Gujin advanced a certain distance, he saw that those Martial Saints who had rushed in earlier were retreating, with a large group of beasts closely following them.

Although the Martial Saints present were stronger than those beasts, in singular combat, each of the Martial Saints present could defeat the beasts behind them.

But terrifyingly, those beasts appeared in swarms, and their attacks were incredibly berserk, recklessly charging towards the Martial Saints.

Although the Martial Saints present were somewhat stronger than the beasts, their power gap wasn't insurmountable.

To kill a beast, each Martial Saint had to expend at least one-tenth of their Primordial Power.

And when those beasts swarmed forward, at least five would rush towards them at once.

In a big battle, a Martial Saint needed to expend at least half of their Primordial Power.

If another similarly intense battle happened, the Martial Saints present had no confidence in surviving the beasts' heavy encirclement.

Therefore, the Martial Saints present decided to team up with others, using a relay tactic to exhaust the beasts ahead.

This method was especially effective in the second layer; after one Martial Saint eliminated a group of beasts, another would go on to eliminate another group.

This way, their advancement speed became very fast.

But this method also had a fatal weakness: if too many beasts appeared ahead, those Martial Saints could only retreat swiftly.

Yet Duan Gujin did not team up with others. He infused Primordial Power into his palms. When a beast appeared, he released a Void Palm at it, defeating it with one strike.

If many beasts still chased after him, he would employ the Space Escape Technique to avoid being pursued.

Now, he only wished to quickly rush to the third layer to kill the beasts inside rather than advancing step by step like other Martial Artists.

While continuously advancing, he slew the beasts ahead.

Quickly, the Martial Saints behind Duan Gujin realized that the beasts were unable to detect if they had used the Space Escape Technique.

Thus, they adopted another strategy.

This strategy was that if they found an astonishing number of beasts ahead, they would all use the Space Escape Technique together to decisively bypass the astonishing number of beasts up front, avoiding engagement.

Once the Martial Saints used this tactic, their advancement speed increased further.

However, compared to them, Duan Gujin's speed was even faster; he didn't eliminate all the beasts that obstructed him along the way but only dealt with those relatively weaker ones.

He observed that in the Illusion Demon World, some beasts had fragile bodies while others had strong ones.

When he encountered beasts with fragile bodies, he only needed to use the Void Palm two or three times to eliminate them.

But when he encountered beasts with strong bodies, he needed to use the Void Palm four or five times to eliminate them.

Comparing the recording name plate, he discovered that the points for eliminating beasts with two or three strikes of the Void Palm were the same as those for eliminating beasts with four or five strikes.

Clearly, he found that by targeting beasts with seemingly fragile bodies, he could earn the same points with lower Primordial Power consumption.

After dozens of battles, he found that the beast levels in the second layer of the Illusion Demon World were set between the Eighth and Ninth Levels of Martial Emperor, and so far, he hadn't encountered a beast in the Martial Saint Realm.

He advanced all the way, and until he was about to deplete his internal Primordial Power, he stopped slaying the beasts of the second layer and used the Space Escape Technique to avoid the beasts ahead.

After a round of running, he finally arrived in front of the second stele.

On this second stele, the words "Third Layer" were inscribed.

Hurriedly, he sat cross-legged near the stele, took an elixir pill, sat cross-legged, nurtured his vitality, and recovered his Primordial Power.

He only rested for fifteen minutes, then charged into the third layer.

This time, he saw many beasts in the third layer ranging from the First Level to the Second Level of Martial Saint.

After a while, he found those beasts almost existed singularly and not acting in groups as he encountered in the first and second layers.

"This must have been designed by the creators of the Illusion Demon World!"

Since the Illusion Demon World was meant to test the true combat power of Martial Saints, the creators wouldn't use swarming beasts with strength comparable to the Martial Saint Realm to force back the challengers.

If that were true, Martial Artists with strength only in the first or second realm of Martial Saint wouldn't need to take the test at all, as they could not possibly rival swarming beasts of the Martial Saint Realm.

"There are common Fire Rhinoceros Demon Beasts from the Divine World here, as well as Earth Demons from the Black Hole World!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and rushed towards the mountain position.

The beasts obstructing him along the way were killed by his Void Palm.

He found that to kill the beasts in the third layer wasn't easy; to kill each beast, he needed to expend at least one-tenth of his Primordial Power.

After killing five beasts, he decided to use the Space Escape Technique and charged towards the fourth layer again.

But this time, he discovered that the beasts in the third layer could sense his Space Escape Technique and lock onto his position with their Divine Sense.

He gasped, immediately realizing that the ability of the beasts here to capture his exact position after using the Space Escape Technique was likely designed by the creators of the Illusion Demon World.

Otherwise, Martial Saints would just keep using the Space Escape Technique to rush to the upper levels of the Illusion Demon World without stopping to kill monsters along the way.

Although the strength of the beasts in the third layer was only slightly weaker than Duan Gujin, Duan Gujin's aptitude was far superior to those beasts.

Moreover, Duan Gujin released the intimidating effect of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, deterring some beasts from confronting him.

Though the beasts in the Illusion Demon World were imaginary, their characteristics were very similar to real beasts outside.

Duan Gujin consistently used the Space Escape Technique, and after about fifteen minutes, he finally reached the location of the fourth layer.

First, he sat cross-legged near the stele of the fourth layer, consumed an elixir pill, nurtured his vitality, and recovered his Primordial Power.

This time, he spent two quarter-hours recovering near the fourth stele.

"Hello, my friend! Would you like to team up? What do you think?"

As Duan Gujin was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a clear woman's voice from behind.

"This voice sounds familiar!"

Upon hearing the voice, he felt a sense of familiarity.

He immediately focused his attention on the source of the voice and, upon looking closely, suddenly realized the owner of the voice was the woman who had previously caused the death of those seven Martial Saints.

"Yes, it's her!"

His gaze flickered, unexpectedly encountering her here.

At this time, only one man stood beside her.

"What is she up to?"

Duan Gujin pondered quickly; he initially didn't want to waste time with her here, but then thought it necessary to figure out who this woman truly was.

"Sure! However, my strength is just at the Second Level of Martial Saint, so please don't despise me for having the weakest power!"

Duan Gujin said calmly, noticing that the woman's cultivation was at the Third Level of Martial Saint, while the man beside her was at the Fourth Realm.

"Our strengths are quite similar! Besides, my friend, since you were the first to rush in, I think you must have some exceptional abilities!"

The woman said with a smile.
