God of Pets

Chapter 587 The Power of the Devil

"Is that a human or a spirit?" Ma Xiaolong scrutinized the person on the mountaintop. He had never received any inheritance before, nor had he ever been to a similar place, so he had no idea what it was all about and was quite surprised.

Chen Guan shook his head and said nothing.

Based on the information he obtained, the various inheritances in the secret realm should all have been left by the secret spirits.

However, ordinary spirits are unlikely to be able to construct these buildings. Even the spirits at the God-level that Chen Guan had seen did not have such creative abilities.

Therefore, Chen Guan actually had some doubts about whether these buildings were actually built by the mysterious spirit, and whether the inheritance inside was truly left by the mysterious spirit.

If it was indeed left by a mysterious spirit, it means that among the mysterious spirits there is another being with extremely high intelligence and creative ability, which humans have never seen before.

However, if these buildings are related to humans, the history of humans entering the secret realm is only a few thousand years old, while these buildings are so ancient that they far exceed the history of human civilization.

If it is truly related to humans, then it suggests that human history may also contain some incredible aspects.

Chen Guan was unsure which possibility was more likely and dared not make a judgment.

He then thought of the Soul Devouring God, the mysterious spirit that was cultivated like a human. Its existence seemed to prove that mysterious spirits also had the ability to create.

Whether the person on the mountaintop was a mysterious spirit or a human, Chen Guan couldn't tell for the time being.

However, one thing is quite peculiar: regardless of the level of the humans participating in the trial, the person at the summit is able to appropriately summon the corresponding spirit.

When a human with four senses takes on a challenge, the person at the summit will summon the spirit of the four senses to give them a test. When a practitioner with six senses takes on a challenge, the spirit summoned will be the spirit of the six senses.

Chen Guan didn't know what kind of supernatural power the person on the mountaintop possessed that allowed him to discern the rank of human cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the cultivator does not reveal abilities related to his own rank, it is difficult for outsiders to discern his level.

I heard from others that a group of cultivators with the Six Senses had once joined forces to try to kill the person on the mountaintop, but they were killed by that person with a single sword strike. The heads of more than a dozen cultivators were instantly separated from their bodies and fell into the river to be fed to the secret spirit, leaving not even a single bone behind.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't be here so obediently challenging others.

Chen watched for a while. The battle between the human cultivators and the mysterious spirits was quite exciting. However, the mysterious spirits summoned by the person on the mountaintop were not like Wuzhiqi and Fangfeng Giant God. At most, they were only Six-Senses Peerless Mystic Spirits.

Moreover, once a practitioner completes the first challenge, very few will continue to attempt it.

One person continued with the second challenge, but was instantly killed by the mysterious spirit summoned by the person at the summit, without even a chance to fight back. After that, no one else was seen attempting the challenge.

Suddenly, Chen Guan saw someone walk onto the platform in front of the river and take on a challenge.

The man was wearing a mask representing his natal star, which was half black and half red, making him look like a ghost or a demon.

The mask itself has all the facial features, and the edges are distinct. The corners of the mouth are even slightly upturned, forming a strange smile. It looks somewhat terrifying, but also somewhat comical, and it even has a bit of a clown feel to it.

His armor was half black and half red, clearly a manifestation of his natal star.

Although he couldn't see what the person looked like at all, Chen Guan had a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him before.

After he spoke, Chen Guan was immediately struck by the sound, because he remembered the voice very well.

Even though he couldn't see the person's face, Chen Guan knew who it was.

"Bu Changning? When did he arrive at the cave?" Chen Guan was surprised. He thought Bu Changning shouldn't have arrived so quickly.

Advancing through the Demon Scripture isn't exactly difficult, but it's extremely troublesome. Bu Changning arrived at the Cave Heaven so quickly; I wonder how he achieved the Fourth Sense. Subconsciously, Chen Guan took two steps back, moving to a more crowded area.

There aren't many people he can be wary of, but Bu Changning is one of them.

The others, including those from prominent families, clearly didn't recognize Bu Changning and didn't care much about him.

The person on the mountaintop summoned a mysterious spirit with the body of a wolf and the face of a human, to be Bu Changning's opponent.

This kind of spirit had been used in battle before. Chen Guan remembered that it was a spirit of the fourth level of awakening, and its combat power was considered very strong among the fourth level of awakening.

It possesses great speed and strength, as well as exceptional intelligence. It can speak human language and even has soul-capturing techniques.

The human who had challenged him earlier seemed to lose his mind after meeting the gaze of this mysterious spirit; his fighting became chaotic, and he was quickly defeated.

From the matches Chen Guan had seen, it seemed that this guy had never lost.

Many people who saw it mourned for Bu Changning, feeling that he would have a hard time passing the test.

Bu Changning did not follow the experience of those before her and avoid the eyes of the Mystic Spirit. Instead, she looked directly into the eyes of the Mystic Spirit and stared back at it.

"Is this guy looking for death?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

But the next second, everyone witnessed an incredibly bizarre and terrifying scene.

The spirit stood upright in its wolf form, its front paws clutching its own head. Its face was contorted with madness, and a sinister smile played on its lips.

Just when everyone thought it was about to use some kind of eerie soul-slaying technique, it used its claws to twist its own head off.

Blood splattered as its head rolled to the ground, its face still bearing that chilling smile.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw. Chen Guan was also surprised: "I remember that Bu Changning could only immobilize his opponent before, but now he can make people commit suicide. Is the Devil's Scripture really that terrifying?"

"Shall we continue with the second test?" The person at the mountaintop seemed to scrutinize Bu Changning for a moment before asking.

"Continue." Bu Changning's voice was indifferent, as if devoid of any human emotion.

"Alright." The person on the mountaintop responded, and as soon as the voice fell, a mysterious spirit emerged from the river.

It was a black bear, not particularly large, but still quite imposing compared to a human.

The black bear wore a black plush mask on its face, and its fur was extremely long. Even more peculiar was that it had a pair of metal claws on its paws, which were clearly treasures of destiny.

The Black-Faced Bear with Five Senses had also participated in battles before.

The first spirit summoned by the person at the summit was a fourth-level spirit, indicating that the challenger must be a fourth-level spirit.

Now, the second level has summoned the Five Senses Mystic Spirits. Following this logic, it's no wonder that cultivators who challenged the second level before were instantly killed.

As soon as the black-faced bear appeared, it pounced directly at Bu Changning, its metal claws bursting with terrifying black light as it slashed at Bu Changning, intending to tear him to shreds.

But the next second, the black-faced bear seemed to be bound by something, remaining in a forward lunge and claw-waving posture, its body trembling but unable to move forward even an inch, or even move at all.
