One of the Blood Sea Generals, White Ape

After successfully subduing all the little beasts in the area, Lin Che set off toward the second trial with the Hurricane Beast King and Xu Liguo.

Since he was returning to the Ancient God's Land, Lin Che knew the routes here like the back of his hand. Other than the Blood Sea within the Ancient God's Land, nowhere else posed any threat to him.

"Master, up ahead is the Bridge of No Return in the Earth Element Zone."

The Hurricane Beast King bowed to Lin Che and said respectfully, "Although I have never been to a place like this, my little beasts have. They said that once you step onto it, you cannot turn back even half a step. Otherwise, even a Spirit Severing Stage expert will surely die."

"Do you need to tell him that?" Xu Liguo jumped out and fiercely smacked the Beast King on the head, cursing, "Master has been here before. The Bridge of No Return is child's play to Master."

The Beast King was furious at Xu Liguo's actions, but when he remembered that Xu Liguo was the first demon by his master's side, he swallowed the humiliation.

But once he became his master's strongest demon, he would definitely make Xu Liguo kneel on the ground and kowtow in apology.

At this moment, a stone monument stood beside the Bridge of No Return. It was said that Do Mu had engraved it when he came to the Ancient God's Land back then, intending to leave behind a few opportunities and hints for the younger generations who came here.

"Earth Element Zone, Bridge of No Return. Remember to carefully ponder the words 'no return.'"

Lin Che ignored the warning left on the monument and strode toward the end of the bridge. As for whatever happened along the way, he did not care in the slightest.

Even when the voices of friends and family from his previous life echoed behind him, Lin Che showed no reaction. A century of slaughter had long since made him forget emotion. The only thing supporting him was slaughter.

As for his family and friends from his previous life, they were merely illusions as well.

If he turned back even half a step, the restrictions here would erase him on the spot. Even Nascent Soul Transformation Experts could not withstand them, unless they possessed strength capable of rivaling this place.

Lin Che shut off his five senses and swiftly left the so-called Bridge of No Return, arriving at the entrance to the second trial.

The demon Xu Liguo and the Hurricane Beast King had long been waiting. Clearly, demons were not restricted here; only living beings would be instantly wiped out by the restrictions.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che said calmly, "The Bridge of No Return may work against those with wavering hearts, but against me, it still falls far short."

"Let's go."

Lin Che, having emerged from the road of no return, stopped in his tracks. The scenery before him had undergone a tremendous change. What lay ahead was no longer a fog-shrouded expanse, but an alien land of towering mountains.

A hundred years ago, his cultivation had only been at the Core Formation stage. This was a mountain of restrictions, and even he had been trapped here for several months before successfully breaking in.

Now that he had returned, Lin Che naturally did not linger. He did not even have any interest in using the hurricane beasts to scout the way, instead using brute force to shatter the restrictions on both sides.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che walked forward. His pace was not fast, but with every step, ripples spread through the void beneath his feet. Once the ripples faded, his body would appear a thousand meters away, mysterious beyond measure.

The restrictions here posed no threat to him at all. They were all frozen solid by his chilling killing intent and could no longer activate.

Even Spirit Severing Stage cultivators could break the restrictions here, much less Lin Che, who was at the middle Nascent Soul Transformation stage.

As he walked, Lin Che opened the system.

As azure light flickered, his basic information appeared before him.

System Name: God-Slaying

Host Name: Lin Che

Age: 140

Cultivation: Middle Nascent Soul Transformation Stage

Magical Treasures: Skybright Sword, Human Sovereign Banner, Nether Soul Devouring Bell

Total Humans Killed: 200099

Total Demonic Beasts Killed: 64358

Slaughter Points: 98/100

"The demonic beasts provided too little improvement. They only gave me thirty-eight Slaughter Points, and I still haven't reached one hundred."

Lin Che shook his head in disappointment, though it was only natural. After reaching the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, he had to kill experts above the Spirit Severing Stage to receive useful rewards. As for ants below the Soul Transformation Stage, they could only provide him with Slaughter Points.

If he wanted to gain cultivation, he had to kill powerful experts.

The restrictions within Restriction Summit grew stronger from bottom to top. The farther up the mountain one went, the stronger the restrictions became. Especially near the end, even Spirit Severing Stage experts would find them troublesome.

Lin Che raised his brows, one hand behind his back, then reached forward with his right hand. A Skybright Sword overflowing with cold killing intent appeared in his grasp, and he casually swung it forward.

In an instant, several strands of sword intent brimming with immense energy gathered here. Blood-red, crescent-shaped sword intent swept forward with a howl, effortlessly destroying the restrictions before him.

At that moment, Lin Che suddenly stopped and looked coldly toward the forest in the distance. In an indifferent tone, he said, "Since you're here, come out. Aren't you tired of hiding?"

"Hehehe, I never expected that after so many years, there would truly be someone here. It seems Master was right. Someone really has interfered with the restrictions in this place."

As a sinister laugh suddenly rang out, an old man in a black robe slowly emerged from the distant woods. He was gaunt and thin, with a grim expression. Two scorpion totems marked his palms.

"So it's you."

Lin Che recognized him. He was a cultivator who had also entered the Ancient God's Land a hundred years ago, and his cultivation had already reached the Spirit Severing Stage.

However, because he had been too much of a nuisance, coupled with the pursuit of Do Mu and the others, Lin Che had directly slain him in the Ancient God's Land back then.

"Lin Che, brat, I never thought that after so many years, we would meet again here. I've missed you terribly."

Bloodsea General White Ape licked his lips, excitement flashing through his eyes, as though he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Master said that if I kill you, I can regain my freedom. You mentioned the Ancient God Inheritance back then, so I knew you would definitely return."

Lin Che looked at White Ape, neither human nor ghost, and smiled faintly. "I didn't expect that after all these years, you would evolve to the initial Nascent Soul Transformation stage. It seems Tuosen has treated you rather well."

White Ape gritted his teeth. "Stop putting on this hypocritical act in front of me. If you hadn't killed me here back then, I wouldn't have become Tuosen's slave."

"If I kill you today, Tuosen will definitely undo my seal and let me leave the Ancient God's Land. Then I can live freely and carefree again!"
