Chapter 622 Spatial Passage
"Buzz..."
The moment Xuan Mo stepped into the spatial gate, she was nearly blown off balance by a strange gust of air.
She quickly regained her footing and looked around, only to find herself standing in a passage as dark as eternal night.
The gust of air she had just experienced was a spatial fluctuation.
The entire passage was devoid of light, but countless cracks existed around it.
Seemingly insignificant, they made Xuan Mo extremely cautious.
Before entering, the Space Dragon King had already explained the trial and the passage's layout.
Behind each crack in the passage was an independent space. If Xuan Mo approached within a certain distance, these spatial cracks would automatically unleash attacks carrying spatial power.
These attacks included not only physical force but also spatial suction. Xuan Mo's task was to avoid being killed by the attacks, avoid being sucked into the spatial cracks, and safely pass through them.
Moreover, there was a time limit for passing through.
Actually, when they first learned about the trial's content, their expressions were relatively calm. However, upon entering the spatial passage and seeing the sheer number of spatial rifts, not only did Xuan Mo's expression turn grim, but even Mu Lin, watching from the outside, was immediately in an uproar.
Standing beside the five Dragon Kings, he glared at the water mirror and exclaimed, "Damn it! Isn't this just making things difficult? So many spatial rifts are almost dizzying to look at. And they even launch attacks mixed with spatial suction! Is this even fair?!"
"What did you think?"
The Space Dragon King's calm expression suppressed the worry in his eyes. "I said a year ago that comprehending space is several times more difficult than other elements. If the test isn't ruthless, do you think kid Mo can comprehend the power of space?"
"Then why a year ago..."
However, the Space Dragon King reached out and stopped him.
He actually knew what Mu Lin wanted to ask, so he gave Mu Lin the answer as if talking to himself.
"The setup of this spatial passage almost cost me most of my divine power. If it happened a few more times..."
For a moment, Mu Lin fell silent.
"Then what should Brother Mo do now?"
Before the Space Dragon King could reply, the Wind Dragon King had already given Mu Lin a comforting smile. After all, she had seen the little guy's struggles. And since his martial soul was a dragon, she still liked him.
So she said, "Although I have almost no understanding of space, if I were Xiao Mo, I would envelop my entire body with the power of devouring and gravity. Although these two may not be as powerful as spatial forces when separated, their combination can resist or neutralize the spatial suction emanating from various spatial rifts, and then launch an attack to shatter the attack force emanating from the spatial rifts."
After hearing the Wind Dragon King's words, Mu Lin immediately considered the feasibility and felt a little relieved, but he was still worried.
At the same time, inside the passage,
Xuan Mo was frowning, thinking of a countermeasure.
However, just three breaths before the Wind Dragon King's voice fell outside, Xuan Mo's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and his brows also relaxed.
It was not pure soul power, but soul power containing the power of devouring, that surged out, vaguely forming a gray-black transparent shield around his body. Then his third soul ring flashed, and "Intent of Heavy Rock" was activated.
Obviously, what he thought of and the method he would take were exactly the same as what the Wind Dragon King had told Mu Lin.
After taking one last look at the surrounding spatial passages, he took a deep breath, steadied himself, and cautiously took a step forward.
Instantly, Xuan Mo sensed energy fluctuations emanating from the three closest spatial rifts.
At the same time, three beams of light shot out from the spatial rifts, arranged in a triangular pattern towards Xuan Mo.
Although he had a soul power shield and gravity protection, these were only to resist and deflect the spatial suction force exerted on him by the spatial rifts.
As for the attack of the light beams, unaware of their power, Xuan Mo decided with a single thought not to confront them directly.
He immediately made a move. With speed comparable to that of an average agility-type Title Douluo, he dodged the three beams of light the instant they were upon him. But he barely managed to dodge them.
The next second, the three beams of light collided behind him, emitting a slight sound, and then turned into tiny specks of light, as fine as dust, which disappeared after a moment.
All of this happened in an instant.
Although it was just a simple dodge, seemingly effortless, the sheer danger and tension involved were far from simple. If Xuanmo hadn't reacted quickly, he would likely have been struck by those three beams of light.
Before Xuanmo could even catch his breath, six more spatial rifts shot out towards him without any gaps!
Just as the six beams were about to hit him, he could feel a strong spatial suction pulling him away.
So Xuanmo leaped to the right, dodging the three beams on his left, and landed on the left side of the spatial passage, unleashing an "Annihilation Devouring Light" at the three beams on his right.
In an instant, it enveloped them.
"Phew—"
"Brother Mo, well done!"
Mu Lin outside breathed a sigh of relief, slamming his fist excitedly into the air.
"Looks like it won't be too difficult after all."
"Is that so…"
The Space Dragon King stared at the mirror, a worried expression on his face.
"This test isn't that simple. If Mo boy continues like this, he won't be able to pass through this passage. Notice those cracks. The cracks at the entrance of the passage are the smallest, and they get bigger as you go further in. This means that the further you go, the stronger the spatial cracks become, and the greater the spatial suction they generate."
"This... what should we do then?"
Mu Lin knew that the Space Dragon King wouldn't speak carelessly.
"Even with the Dragon Slayer Blade, Mo boy can't, or rather, it's very difficult for him to, break through the spatial attack of the last light point. Unless he doesn't fight head-on at the end, but chooses to dodge. But..."
As he said this, the Space Dragon King and the other four Dragon Kings exchanged glances, thinking to themselves.
"But can Mo boy dodge it?"
Inside the passage, as Xuan Mo moved forward, the light points emitted more and more light, wave after wave.
Xuan Mo dodged and counterattacked, slowly moving forward with a solemn expression.
However, when Xuan Mo reached a certain point, the light point in front of him actually stopped for a moment. Just when he thought he could catch his breath, he couldn't help but look back.
The spatial rift in the passage behind him had vanished. But as soon as he turned to look ahead, a cluster of lights flashed, shooting out beams of spatial energy towards him.
And there were at least forty or fifty of these beams!
