Chapter 1103: Chapter 1073: Reunion with Rek’sa

"It’s broken!"

"Look, that’s Sikong Tingzhi!"

In the squares of major cities across the Nine Netherworld Continent, countless eyes stared at the figure in the magic mirror image.

Only to see Sikong Tingzhi appear on the Eight Trigrams Platform with a fatigued face, suddenly spitting a mouthful of fresh blood:

"Pfff~"

Spraying everywhere.

This scene instantly caused a commotion among the people.

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Among the many geniuses of the Nine Netherworld Continent, only Sikong managed to break an illusion array?"

"Where’s everyone else?"

Gazing at the nine mirror images like a nine-square grid, the other eight all displayed emptiness.

At that moment, only Sikong Tingzhi appeared on the Eight Trigrams Platform where he stood.

Sikong Tingzhi was also the first one to reappear in the image after the start of the Divine Son competition round, except for the mysterious Jialan King.

However, in his current weary state, Sikong Tingzhi didn’t seem to be in good condition.

Even Sikong Tingzhi is like this, what about the others?

Just as everyone was discussing Sikong Tingzhi’s appearance, another figure appeared in the image, causing an uproar among the crowd:

"The Jialan King!"

It was Lin Yi, in a blue robe, holding the Dragon Scale Sword, as he appeared in the scene.

Compared to Sikong Tingzhi’s languishing, hesitant state, Lin Yi appeared much more composed.

From this, the difference in strength between the two sides was clear, with the superior and inferior easily distinguished.

Outside the Light Church in Jialan City, someone suddenly said:

"Isn’t this the eighth time the Jialan King appeared in the image?"

The eighth time!!!

Bear in mind, besides Lin Yi, there are 49 other participants in the Divine Son competition!

Although they didn’t know what the Profound Palace Eight Trigrams Array was.

They clearly understood.

Every time Lin Yi appeared in the image, those unknown Space-Time Gates around him would close and disappear.

Even an idiot would know those doors probably concealed tests for these candidates.

Currently in the image, only one door remained in front of Lin Yi, while Sikong Tingzhi still had seven doors.

The others all had eight doors standing before them.

This round of the Divine Son competition seemed to become a ’performance’ for the Jialan King alone, once again showcasing his power to the entire Nine Netherworld Continent.

Perhaps the outcome is not yet determined.

But from the current situation, the ownership of the Divine Son title is already self-evident.

If Lin Yi is truly elected the Divine Son of the Church, it’s likely the Jialan Empire will laugh even in their dreams.

The Jialan King as the number one king of the Jialan Empire, who would dare to trouble the Jialan Empire thereafter?

The balance maintained among the Three Great Empires might be completely shattered at that moment.

While some rejoiced, others worried, Lin Yi didn’t bother thinking about it.

Looking at the last door in front of him, Lin Yi’s face showed a resolute expression as he directly pushed it open.

...

...

When Lin Yi successively overcame the Death, Shock, Rest, Injury, Obstruction, Scene, and Open doors, only the ’Death Gate’ posed some trouble.

It’s unclear why.

Among the remaining six doors, almost none had any substantial impact on Lin Yi, easily broken one by one.

At that time, Lin Yi thought the Eight Trigrams Array was not as terrifying as imagined.

But as Lin Yi stepped into the final ’Life Gate,’ everything before him stunned him:

"Is this..."

Looking at the dim, lush, and damp area, Lin Yi instantly realized where he was:

"Demon Forest!"

Just a step away, as Lin Yi’s foot landed, everything before him turned into a dark, primal forest.

Wasn’t this the Demon Forest Lin Yi had visited in the first round of the Divine Son trial?

How could Lin Yi have thought, behind the ’Life Gate,’ would be such a scene.

However, Lin Yi soon realized, what test this ’Life Gate’ would bring him?

The answer quickly came as a hoarse voice suddenly echoed from the side:

"You came after all."

Lin Yi’s heart trembled, incredulously looking toward the voice.

A desolate figure sat by a shimmering lake not far behind him.

The words had just come from this person.

And Lin Yi was not unfamiliar with this person; it was the Beast God, Rek’sa, previously seen in the Demon Forest!

Lin Yi couldn’t have imagined, just a day later, he’d meet this person again.

The atmosphere now, however, didn’t make Lin Yi feel pleased, instead somewhat helpless.

Staring at the figure with its back to him, Lin Yi wore a complex expression and said:

"Senior."

"Why are you here..."

"Senior? Pfff~"

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s address, Rek’sa suddenly turned to face Lin Yi:

"I can’t bear being called ’senior’."

Rek’sa looked the same as yesterday, with hair like dry twigs covering his head, making it difficult to see his expression.

Wearing tattered beast hide armor.

If he didn’t speak.

No one would take this unkempt man seriously as one of the Ancient Gods of Rafam Continent, the Beast God.

Only now, the Beast God’s power and appearance were clearly not like his peak days.

Rek’sa got up from a thick tree trunk, then reached out and sucked in the air.

The giant broadsword on the ground instantly seemed to be attracted by a magnet, quickly grabbed by him.

Rek’sa continued:

"As for why I’m here."

"It’s because..."

"I’m the final test of the Profound Palace Eight Trigrams Array."

Meanwhile, in Lin Yi’s eyes, information about Rek’sa finally appeared above his head:

Rek’sa (Beast God)

Level: Lv89

Attributes: Unknown

Life Value: Unknown

...

Stunned by the displayed information, Lin Yi didn’t know what to say.

If possible, Lin Yi had a thousand reasons not to become an enemy of the person before him.

But after hearing what Morman said, Lin Yi realized he had no other choice.

As Lin Yi hesitated whether to act, Rek’sa suddenly smiled self-mockingly:

"Your presence here means."

"That guy must have spent considerable effort to let you break this array one by one."

That guy?

Rek’sa probably referred to Pope of Light Frederick.

Lin Yi didn’t refute, instead saying:

"Senior, could you listen to me?"

However, Rek’sa didn’t respond and assumed an offensive stance, saying:

"From the moment you appeared here, anything you say is too late." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

As soon as Rek’sa finished speaking, the calm lake surface behind him suddenly became turbulent.

Then an excited voice suddenly emerged from below the lake:

"I knew you’d come, hahaha~"

"Knock this old guy down, don’t hold back, beat him fiercely."

"Hurry up and save me, or I’ll really go crazy."

Just as the voice said this, Rek’sa already reacted swiftly:

"I told you, no one can save you."

Rek’sa vanished from Lin Yi’s sight in an instant, a massive pressure pressing down on Lin Yi.

It seemed Rek’sa didn’t want to give Lin Yi any chance to break the array, intending to strike first.

Despite Rek’sa’s level being far higher than Lin Yi’s.

Yet, facing Rek’sa’s challenge, Lin Yi appeared calm, without a trace of panic.

Was it confidence?

Of course!

Lin Yi took out the recently acquired [Dragonman Horn], directly addressing Rek’sa who was close at hand:

"I apologize."

And the next moment, Rek’sa was already wielding the broadsword, appearing before Lin Yi with a fierce tone:

"The one who should apologize is me."

After speaking, Rek’sa swung the heavy weapon towards Lin Yi:

"Boom~"
