721: Chapter 220_2 721: Chapter 220_2 Behind the two of them, dazzling light poured forth like a breached levee’s flood, a terrifying aura surged forth, clashing against their opponent.
In the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly, behind them, a man dressed in a gaudy robe, resembling a fluttering butterfly, his back radiating a dazzling light from the ten unusual phenomena of his Golden Core.
Following that, golden light suddenly burst forth from the garment he wore, numerous complicated symbols that were neither pictures nor characters shimmered and connected into one.
Surrounded by the golden radiance, his aura skyrocketed.
The next moment, he who was originally charging toward another gate, suddenly changed direction and flew toward the gate carved with lutes.
His original target was precisely this gate, not any of the others.
Having already been engaged in fierce battle, they suddenly realized someone else shared their goal, but it was too late to try and stop the newcomer.
In an instant, the flamboyantly dressed man had already burst through the gate decorated with lutes, which then closed behind him.
Watching the gate taken by someone else, the two did not linger in their struggle but quickly disengaged and rushed toward other gates.
After a brief period, nine individuals had charged into nine gates.
The only person who hadn’t entered any was the Eclipse Demon.
Cao Zhen glanced at the Eclipse Demon then turned to look at the only gate that remained open with its unique pattern.
An ocarina!
He distinctly remembered from the file on the Eclipse Demon’s plan that the Eclipse Demon knew how to play the ocarina.
Moreover, the Eclipse Demon also possessed a kind of Sonic Wave skill.
Therefore, if this guy were to choose, his first choice should have been this gate.
However, the Eclipse Demon looked indifferent and ultimately, nobody chose this gate.
“This Eclipse Demon does have some brains to deduce that this gate is less common, and also to observe that no one has chosen this gate, thus not rushing to enter.
But what is this guy planning to do by staying behind?”
Cao Zhen watched the Eclipse Demon with curiosity.
Meanwhile, the Eclipse Demon, who had stopped outside the gates, didn’t just stand by; he approached several doors, pressed his ear against them to listen, but gradually furrowed his brows.
“I can’t hear anything…” the Eclipse Demon shook his head slightly, waited for about the duration of an incense stick to burn, then pushed against the gate that had visibly been entered first by another, the one carved with lutes.
Cao Zhen realized in an instant what the Eclipse Demon intended – he wanted to see if the gates, once closed, could be reopened.
If they could be opened again, he certainly planned to enter, taking the opportunity to kill someone while they were inheriting and loot their possession.
However, when he pushed, the gate remained firmly shut.
“It won’t open?
Could it be that once someone inside starts the inheritance, the gates cannot be opened again?
That each person can only accept one inheritance?”
A puzzled look crossed the Eclipse Demon’s face.
He glanced around, waited a little while, and noticing that the gates around him indeed showed no signs of movement, slowly stepped through the gate in front of him.
Cao Zhen’s perspective shifted as the Eclipse Demon entered the gate of the ocarina.
Upon entering, rustic and simple ocarina tunes filled the air, and faintly, the sounds even took on a divine quality.
The Eclipse Demon, upon hearing the ocarina’s melody, was instantly immersed, completely intoxicated by it.
However, the next moment, the ocarina’s music abruptly changed, and the roaring of beasts burst forth.
In an instant, he felt as though he was transported to the Savage Era, where massive Strange Beasts, towering like mountains, emerged on all sides, their horrendous roars causing the space around to shatter.
Visible Sonic Waves surged from every direction in that realm, swirling towards the Eclipse Demon.
Startled into full awareness, he watched the terrifying Sonic Waves and quickly dodged to one side, but the waves kept shooting out, getting faster and more numerous, enveloping him completely with nowhere to hide.
“What is this?
Is this the final test?
Indeed, this heritage site isn’t so easily obtained.”
As the Eclipse Demon was consumed by panic, his body started to glow with Protective Divine Power.
Cao Zhen, seeing how the Eclipse Demon, relying on his Protective Divine Power and various Divine Skills, struggled against the Sonic Waves, shook his head slightly; the Eclipse Demon might know how to play the ocarina, but his Musical Rhythm expertise was far too lacking.
It was clear that the Sonic Waves were caused by the ocarina music, which actually had a pattern.
As long as one’s musical rhythm skills were high enough, it would be easy to decrypt.
Clearly, the Eclipse Demon did not make the cut.
Given the Eclipse Demon’s current state, the Sonic Waves were only getting stronger, and he was continually depleting his energy; eventually, he would meet his end here.
If this guy died, wouldn’t Cao Zhen have linked with someone in vain?
If he died, where could Cao Zhen find another inside betrayer like him?
Well then, perhaps Cao Zhen should help him out; who knows, doing so might also reveal more secrets of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
A thought crossed Cao Zhen’s mind.
Suddenly he spoke out.
While the Eclipse Demon was troubled about how to contend with the Sonic Waves in front of him, suddenly, a voice filled with age, mystery, and boundless fear echoed in his mind.
“Kan eight advances to nine…”
