Chapter 1718: 1718
The possibility of an assault-type soul master passing this test was high . For sure, Tang Wulin and A Ruheng would not face much of an issue . As for the others, Sima Jinchi and Yuanen Yehui should be able to pass as well . However, the number one control-type soul master under the starry sky, Xu Xiaoyan might not be able to swim out of the vortex without some assistance .
Her super powerful control abilities also signified that her individual fighting capacity would just be normal .
“So, what should we do now?” Xu Xiaoyan asked .
Tang Wulin smiled . “It’s okay . I’m here . Everything under the water is not considered an obstacle . Just follow me . ”
Naturally, Tang Wulin felt much more relieved after he had explored the situation ahead . He began to advance at a faster speed .
As expected, they came upon the unusual situation . Under the illumination of Yue Zhengyu’s glow, they could clearly see that the current in the surrounding waters was obviously getting stronger and swifter with time . It felt as if the dry ground which they were standing on was also being carried along by an invisible current . It would only stop when Tang Wulin stopped walking .
The light penetrated into the distance, but the visibility was suddenly reduced .
It was the exit where an enormous underwater vortex awaited them beyond the exit .
The groups’ expressions changed drastically when they sensed the strength of the vortex . At the same time, they heard a deep rumble .
It was the sound of water slamming into the rocky walls around it .
Such terrifying water currents!
Ling Zichen suddenly spoke, “It seems like the force which sucked us down earlier originated from the vortex as well . This is a natural phenomena . It can’t possibly be man-made . The War God Hall is utilizing nature’s strength for this test . ”
“Everyone, stay close to me . ” As he was speaking, Tang Wulin unleashed the Bluesilver Emperor Vines from his body and wound them around his comrades’ bodies so he could pull them closer to him .
Soon afterward, the golden trident rune on his forehead lit up . The Golden Dragon Spear was passed to his left hand, while his right hand clutched the air . A golden radiance shimmered and the golden trident landed in his grasp .
At the very moment the golden trident appeared, everything in the surroundings turned silent abruptly . The sloshing of the water currents earlier seemed to have completely disappeared . The spinning vortex was affected too . It was slowing down as if it yielded to Tang Wulin .
At the same time, a layer of blue-gold radiance emanated from Tang Wulin’s body naturally . He swung the golden trident in his hand . All at once, the water screen before him parted naturally . Under his control, the water turned into a staircase which led to a diagonal area above .
Tang Wulin led the way and stepped onto the staircase formed from water . The rest of the group followed hastily behind him despite feeling bewildered from witnessing the scene .
They felt the terror of this vortex even more after walking through the vortex . The diameter of the vortex was close to a thousand meters . They failed to detect any signs of life . In fact, no living creature could survive in this place .
At any rate, Tang Wulin looked like the dominator of this world as he held the Sea God’s Trident in his hand despite the daunting underwater world . He walked toward the upper diagonal guardedly . With each step he took, his whole body glowed brilliantly .
The water flowed rapidly as if it was protecting its lord and obediently guarding their paths .
They ascended hundreds of steps and the water before them parted at last . It parted with the brightness of daylight to reveal a path which led to the outside world .
Tang Wulin retracted the golden trident in his hand as he continued walking . Due to the Sea God’s vestigial influence over the surrounding water, the water did not close on them instantly . It allowed Tang Wulin and his comrades to walk out of the vortex .
Tang Wulin leaped up and floated in the air . He looked around his surroundings while the rest followed closely behind him and were on the lookout as well .
They saw a huge lake below them from where they were . The lake was a funnel-shaped, terrifying vortex .
Indeed, the most scary part of this was that the spinning lakewater resulted in a strong airflow which generated a piercing, howling sound that could be heard from their location .
The uncanny workings of nature was beyond one’s imagination . There was no doubt that this place was representative of that .
On the shore in the distance, flat ground could be seen . It was the location of the only path .
The people flew over and landed on the ground . They exhaled a sigh of relief when they were finally on solid ground .
A pitch black, ginormous vortex lay ahead of them . Despite the majority of them being Title Douluos, they could not help feeling an intense lingering fear when they saw the ginormous vortex .
A faint radiance shimmered on the icy coldness of Tang Wulin’s face . The place lived up to its reputation of being the sixteenth level of hell! Ordinary people could not have passed through it and survived .
He wondered about the kind of difficult barrier which awaited them next .
Tang Wulin was not in a rush to advance further . He took the lead to sit cross-legged on the ground . The others followed suit and sat around him . The great battle earlier in addition to their efforts to cross the river had tired them out to a certain extent .
The sixteenth level was already so taxing . What about the seventeenth and the eighteenth level? The best thing to do now was to prepare themselves so as to be in their top form to confront it .
It took half an hour for the whole group to awaken from their meditation session .
There was a sole path ahead of them . Undoubtedly, it was the only path to get to the higher levels .
They maintained their previous formation with Tang Wulin, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu in the front and the rest of them following closely behind . They soon entered the pathway .
As compared to the freefall earlier, the path before them appeared much more placid . The ground was flat and showed signs of being smoothened by man . The surroundings looked normal just like a natural underground pathway . The place was illuminated by the Holy Light unleashed from Yue Zhengyu’s body . Otherwise, the place would be pitch black where one could not even see one’s fingers .
However, they felt the temperature increasing gradually in the air as they moved forward .
Tang Wulin squinted his eyes . It was water earlier, could it be that the seventeenth level had something to do with fire?
Light could be seen penetrating from the space in front . In the beginning, it was only a red speckle . As the temperature gradually rose, the dark red spot turned brighter as well and illuminated the surroundings making it red . Moreover, the temperature around their bodies was rising fast such that they had no choice but to unleash their soul power to resist the high temperature .
They reached the end of the path at last . They were shocked by the scene before their eyes .
It was a gigantic fiery red world at the end of the path . There was a lake as well, only that it was a magma lake .
The golden-red magma bubbled over in the high temperature . Even the air was burning hot . It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to breathe here .
The most terrifying part was that the golden-red magma had immense energy . It felt as if the energy was about to explode at any moment .
Due to the high temperature, the air above the magma lake was heated . They could not see clearly into the distance as a result . However, it was already the end of the path . The only way to move ahead was over the magma lake .
Was that all there is to it? This was what troubled Tang Wulin .
Despite the high temperature of the magma, it would not be an issue for a Title Douluo to resist the high temperature as long as he was not immersed in the magma . Could he not just fly over it?
Of course, it was just a rhetorical question . There must be some danger in it . In fact, the real danger was its unpredictability . They had no idea what they were about to face next .
Tang Wulin said, “I’m afraid that it’s not as simple as it seems . Senior brother disciple, sorry to trouble you . ”
