Dijiang's words made Lin Heng quite unconvinced.
Is the guardian of the third level of the Heavenly Estate really that powerful?
Dijiang told Lin Heng.
The four gatekeepers of the third level of Heavenly Estate.
The difficulty of the challenge gradually increases.
The first gatekeeper's strength is deliberately controlled to around the Third-Grade Sovereign.
The guardian of the second level will have their strength controlled at the Sovereign Sixth Grade.
The guardians of the third and fourth gates are at the Ninth Grade Sovereign and Twelfth Grade Sovereign the Sovereign level, respectively.
After hearing Dijiang's explanation, Lin Heng became even more puzzled.
"Brother Dijiang, it's understandable that you say I can't defeat that Twelfth Grade Sovereign."
"But the first three levels shouldn't be too difficult for me, right?"
After all, the third level is only at the Ninth Grade Sovereign.
Lin Heng is now confident in his ability to fight Twelfth Grade Sovereign.
Unexpectedly, Dijiang smiled calmly after hearing this.
"With your current strength, you can at most pass the first level, and even that will likely be a Pyrrhic victory."
Dijiang's words shocked Lin Heng.
First level?
Third-Grade Sovereign?
I only managed a Pyrrhic victory?
Lin Heng almost doubted whether he had misheard.
Seeing the questioning look in Lin Heng's eyes.
Dijiang simply stopped explaining and directly summoned Zhu Rong.
Dijiang then revealed that Lin Heng wanted to challenge the third level of Heavenly Estate.
After hearing this, Zhu Rong used her soul power to probe Lin Heng's cultivation level, and then shook her head.
" Lin Heng, I think you should just focus on cultivating for a few more years."
"With your current strength, attempting to reach the third level will absolutely result in you becoming a corpse."
"The master gave specific instructions when setting up the third level of trials."
"Besides limiting their cultivation level, they will show absolutely no mercy to those attempting to break through during the fight."
Zhu Rong's meaning is quite clear.
The first two levels might still be able to hold back against Zhu Rong and Tian Wu.
However, upon reaching the third level, Lin Heng faced a life-or-death battle.
However, even with Lin Heng's strength, it would be quite difficult for him to kill the challengers on the third level.
At most, we can only defeat them if their cultivation level is suppressed.
But the other party possessed the power to kill him, and also the right to kill Lin Heng.
It's clear that Mu Chen set extremely strict requirements for the third test.
It's no wonder that Dijiang had been squeezing Lin Heng's potential out of him.
If it weren't for Dijiang's secret support...
I'm afraid Lin Heng's improvement speed isn't that fast yet.
Even Zhu Rong, known for her forthright nature, had said so.
Lin Heng had no choice but to suppress his own thoughts.
But Dijiang suddenly spoke.
" Zhu Rong, you can play with Lin Heng for a bit."
"As for your strength, you should suppress it to the level required for the second test."
Dijiang said this so that Lin Heng could experience it for himself.
Only after experiencing the terror of the third level could he understand what state of mind he should be in to challenge it.
Zhu Rong, of course, would not refuse.
He's always enjoyed fighting, and now that there's a free punching bag to beat up, he couldn't be happier.
Subsequently, Dijiang also took Lin Heng and Zhu Rong to the Battle Heaven Hall.
I've returned to this familiar place, Battle Heaven Hall.
Lin Heng had many feelings to express.
This can be considered an important step Lin Heng took in becoming stronger in the Nine Heavens.
" Lin Heng, come on, let me see just how much you've grown over the years."
Zhu Rong laughed loudly, and his violent aura surged instantly.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Rong's aura had already broken through to the Twelfth Grade Sovereign.
However, Zhu Rong immediately suppressed his cultivation, locking it at the Sovereign Sixth Grade realm.
Lin Heng sensed that Zhu Rong's aura had stabilized at the Sovereign Sixth Grade.
This made him even more resentful.
These years have been spent in the Nine Heavens.
Lin Heng has always been capable of fighting opponents of higher levels.
Now, Ninth Grade Sovereign is fighting Sovereign Sixth Grade.
Moreover, he learned quite a few supernatural abilities from Mu Chen's inheritance.
Lin Heng did not believe that what Dijiang said was true.
I realized how utterly vulnerable I was.
After both sides assumed their fighting stances...
A cold glint flashed in Lin Heng's eyes.
A powerful Divine Power instantly enveloped Zhu Rong.
In Zhu Rong's eyes.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped the surroundings.
I felt as if I were in an endless abyss.
Loneliness, desolation, and eerie sounds echoed in my ears from time to time.
At one point, Zhu Rong sensed a fierce aura locking onto him.
He looked in the direction from which the aura was emanating.
In the darkness, two blood-red lights suddenly shone.
Soon, the crimson light drew closer.
When the two sides are less than ten meters apart.
Zhu Rong then saw clearly that it was a giant white tiger with a pure white body and red eyes.
The giant tiger's paw alone was already wider than Zhu Rong's body.
'roar!'
The giant White Tiger arrived in front of Zhu Rong and let out a deafening roar.
The next second, the giant tiger's blood-red eyes suddenly locked onto Zhu Rong.
With its gaping maw wide open, the giant White Tiger seemed poised to swallow Zhu Rong whole.
However, at the very moment the White Tiger launched its attack...
Zhu Rong sneered and let out a snort.
"Snort!"
At the same time that soft humming sound rang out.
The giant White Tiger that Lin Heng created through his spiritual world shattered instantly.
Zhu Rong then slowly opened her eyes.
In front of him, Lin Heng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Lin Heng was about to say something.
But then a gurgling sound came from his throat.
'puff!'
A mouthful of scarlet blood spurted from Lin Heng's mouth.
The color drained from Lin Heng's face instantly.
That deathly pale face was like that of a dead person, devoid of any vitality.
In an instant, Lin Heng suffered a severe mental blow.
Dijiang then stepped forward and gestured to Zhu Rong that this was sufficient.
Then Dijiang turned his gaze to Lin Heng.
"Now you know just how terrifying the third level really is?"
"That was Zhu Rong just now."
"What if the guardian of the third level were replaced?"
You are now a corpse.
"You must understand, even if you have gained the master's approval and are the sole heir of Heavenly Estate..."
"But their orders were to kill you as many times as possible within their capabilities."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng took a deep breath and, after calming himself down, nodded.
Now he had a clear understanding of the guardians left behind by Mu Chen.
Lin Heng has now comprehended three-tenths of Mu Chen's inheritance.
This is possible if Zhu Rong controls his cultivation level to the Sovereign Sixth Grade.
It remains just as vulnerable.
Lin Heng also had a guess about their strength.
If one cannot comprehend six or seven tenths of Mu Chen's legacy.
It's probably impossible to complete the mission.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful figure who once fought alongside Mu Chen across countless realms.
Lin Heng's affection for Dijiang and the others grew stronger.
The day I take control of Heavenly Estate.
It will also be able to gain the approval of the twelve gatekeepers.
With them by then, Lin Heng couldn't help but imagine going to a higher realm and conquering the universe.
Thank you!
Lin Heng bowed apologetically to Dijiang and Zhu Rong, but in his eyes, an even more fervent fighting spirit shone.
