Berserk God of War-Chapter 1429: Only the Beginning, Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map
"At the same time, the True Qi displayed on your body proves that the Cultivation Technique you practiced is stronger than mine."
"So, there’s no need to give you the Cultivation Technique’s inheritance."
"As for Combat Skills..."
"I’ll choose the most suitable one for the successful challenger, and I think the Heavenly Demon Halberd suits you best, so here it is."
In an instant, the Soul Dominator Venerable resolved most of Sikong Jing’s doubts.
Straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehe, every challenger thinks this castle is the end of my Soul Dominator Secret Realm, but in fact, it’s just the beginning."
Suddenly, the voice of the Soul Dominator Venerable shifted, ready to reveal the reason for his sudden appearance.
These words made Sikong Jing’s gaze freeze again; the castle was merely the starting point of the Soul Dominator Secret Realm challenge?
"Yes, just the starting point..."
"I will select suitable individuals to continue the challenge from the previous tests..."
"Those suitable will stay, and those not will be thrown out."
"No one before you was suitable, so you’re the first to challenge the path ahead, because you solved my Domineering Soul Remnant, which already proves your suitability."
"Therefore, the previous challenges are utterly useless for you."
With the words of the Soul Dominator Venerable, Sikong Jing immediately understood, since they were useless, he was directly brought to the castle.
No need to go through the previous trials...
Still silent, Sikong Jing awaited the new challenge rules, knowing that the upcoming challenge would be a formidable one.
"Next, you will challenge the real battlefield!"
"You must use the Soul Dominator Heavenly Demon Halberd Battle Technique, along with your understanding and control of the Soldier Killing Array, to lead the troops and carve a bloody path on the battlefield; your enemies are truly terrifying."
"The timeframe is half a month, you must reach..."
At this point, the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable paused, then pointed in a direction...
In an instant, a castle seemingly floating in mid-air suddenly appeared in Sikong Jing’s vision; the Soul Dominator Venerable continued: "Within half a month, you must fight your way to the second castle, fail and you will die..."
These words caused Sikong Jing to look at the Soul Dominator Venerable with a shock that shook his entire being.
The latter grinned again, his whiskers slightly bristling.
"Yes, death is certain..."
"The previous challenges won’t cause death, but the subsequent ones will, because your opponents will be Battle Puppets beyond my control, enemies not within my jurisdiction."
"While the soldiers in your hands belong to my Battle Puppet."
"On the battlefield, only you’re a true living being, and the following challenges will not be illusions."
With the voice of the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but look again at the second castle hovering in the distant sky.
Rumble...
The moment after, the landscape outside the castle at Sikong Jing’s feet began to change...
Although the surroundings of the castle were already a battlefield before, it now transformed into an environment of mountains, rivers, and terrifying icy snow streams; simultaneously, around the castle, Black War Puppets emerged from the ground one by one.
From near to far...
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings of the entire castle were filled with Black Armored Battle Puppets, seemingly numbering around two million.
"Buzz..."
Then, a jet-black giant weapon also rose from the ground outside the castle, the tip of the spear gleaming with a terrifying cold light.
It seemed to exude a bloody aura, standing in the midst of all the Battle Puppets!
After the change in the environment, the appearance of the Battle Puppets and the giant spear, the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable spoke again...
"Leave everything on you here."
"You can only take the Soul Dominator Heavenly Demon Halberd Battle Technique I’ve given you, along with the giant spear below, the ’Overlord Battle King Spear’. It must not leave your side, or none of the Battle Puppets will follow your orders."
"Go now, succeed and you shall obtain my Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map."
With these last five words, Sikong Jing’s entire body trembled violently, the Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map!
That seemed to be an extremely formidable existence, a reward for completing the ultimate challenge, an even more powerful inheritance.
Sigh...
Sikong Jing took a light breath, and without saying much, he simply and straightforwardly took the black stone of the Emperor’s Artifact containing all his treasures and placed it gently on the ground of the castle.
As the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable stated, he could only set out with the Spear Skill and Halberd Soldier.
Yet after placing down the black stone, Sikong Jing remained standing quietly, without taking immediate action.
At this moment, the Soul Dominator Venerable spoke again: "Rest assured, as long as you return successfully, your items won’t be lost."
He seemed to think Sikong Jing was worried about his treasures being taken...
But in fact, Sikong Jing wasn’t worried about losing his belongings; he had simply recalled a question, so he looked up and asked: "If I succeed in the challenge, can I know where your body is now?"
If he could find clues about the Soul Dominator Venerable, then Venerable Ba Lian might not despair but make a return to Jianghu.
To this, the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable grinned: "That’s up to your own abilities. The clues to my body are also at your destination... maybe you’ll see it, maybe you won’t."
Hearing this, Sikong Jing looked again towards the second castle, faintly visible in the distant sky, then clasped his hands, turned, and left.
Instead of leaping down from the castle, he entered the door, walking step by step out of the castle...
On him, there was only the Green Jade Tube engraved with the Soul Dominator Heavenly Demon Halberd Battle Technique.
As Sikong Jing walked, his mind had already explored within, beginning to learn and comprehend its moves one by one.
As the Soul Dominator Venerable had clearly stated earlier, in the upcoming challenge, he could only wield the Emperor Weapon, the Overlord Battle King Spear, into battle; as long as the King’s Halberd left his side, he wouldn’t be able to control the Black War Puppets, leaving only a path to death.
Thus, the first challenge posed by this trial was to quickly master the moves of the Soul Dominator Heavenly Demon Halberd. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Understanding and learning were in progress...
Sikong Jing had descended from the castle’s steps and was now walking through the garden within the castle walls, long-withered, each step appearing exceptionally powerful, with the battle intent within him slowly brewing and erupting.
Suddenly, the voice of the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable came from behind again: "Actually, you can refuse the challenge."
Sikong Jing paused slightly, slowly turned his head.
"If you refuse, you can leave with the Battle Technique of the Soul Dominator Heavenly Demon Halberd freely given to you." The Soul Dominator Venerable continued.
In response, Sikong Jing simply displayed a faint smile, replying: "I really like that Overlord Battle King Spear outside, it’s the Ultimate Emperor Weapon, right? If I succeed in the challenge, I should be able to take it, right?"
Although Sikong Jing had spoken little since the appearance of the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable, he was never afraid of challenges.
Given the potential for great rewards, how could he possibly refuse?
The Soul Dominator Venerable nodded: "Of course it’s the Ultimate Emperor Weapon, succeed in the challenge, and naturally, it’s yours."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing continued to smile: "I also really like the Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map, and I’m even more eager to know your current whereabouts; then Venerable Ba Lian might be able to offer me greater rewards, so of course, I must fight!"
Upon these words, the Spiritual Shadow of the Soul Dominator Venerable showed no change in emotion, and continued: "Fortune favors the bold, young one, you’re quite brave, so may you attain everything you desire..."
