Chapter 1194: Chapter 1193: Drawing Fire

In the first layer, blood dyed the earth red, and within a three-mile radius, the blood of many people had seeped into the ground, becoming nourishment for Tree Spirits and Abigail Dodson, while some people also ended up as food in the stomachs of Bird Men.

Still, there were many with strong determination who came to their senses.

For example, the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp was the first to awaken, and as he intoned a Buddhist chant, a light appeared above his head, and then, mysteriously, he was teleported into the Stone Man Formation.

After the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp entered, the next one to be teleported was Tyler Nash – his Soul Realm was second only to the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp.

It was only after him that the likes of the Great Emperor of Heavenly Origin, the Demon Head of the Three Corpses, and the Lord of the Reincarnation Path, and so on, followed.

Nadia Berger and others from the Heavenly Realm also arrived, as did Lillian Erickson, the Thunder Emperor, Thomas Wilkinson the Emperor, and so on.

Almost stepping on each other’s heels, many people were even teleported together.

However, everyone who entered the Stone Man Formation had lingering fears, for it had been too terrifying – the illusions cast by the ancient Three Saints had truly turned them into moths, many of whom darted into the fire and perished.

Mia entered too, Paisley Kirk came as well, Elijah Burch was there too, and even the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Emperor and other Supreme Emperors entered.

About a dozen minutes later, fewer and fewer people were coming in; after waiting for a full half an hour, no one else entered.

But when everyone roughly counted, they discovered that truly half the people had died – from over two thousand, nearly three thousand people, now there were less than fifteen hundred left. The number had been cut by more than half, and even many famous Emperors had died, unable to awaken from the illusions, and thus perished outside!

"Let’s go, there are three true and false passages within this Stone Man Formation, but I know which is real and which is false – just follow me," said Nadia Berger from the Heavenly Realm with a faint smile, as she strode forward.

Everyone looked at her with gratitude, and the other children of the Heavenly Realm also haughtily raised their necks. To be honest, they truly looked down on these worthless Immortals of the Lower Realm.

They belonged to a level that even the Emperors of the Immortal Realm could not touch. To speak without any courtesy, even the dogs in their homes had a higher status than these worthless Emperors!

So they really didn’t deign to converse with them, and these Emperors were even less worthy of knowing their names!

"Matthias, this Stone Man Formation is just as dangerous. If we’re not careful, we might lose some people at this stage – everyone just resign themselves to fate!" Nadia Berger said while walking ahead.

"Of course, we all resign ourselves to fate," Matthias Arellano replied solemnly: "Also, everyone, on this journey to the Main God Palace, there is no hope of revival, once dead it’s the end, so you had better be careful!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" All the children of the Heavenly Realm nodded repeatedly. Though they were divine beings, they too could die, and in fact, their status in the Heavenly Realm was not high. The Heavenly Realm had many echelons, and they belonged to the very last one. They were not important people, not the direct descendants or grandchildren of Clans, not the renowned ones, nor the individuals nurtured by families with great creation.

Therefore, they could act superior in front of those from the Immortal Realm, but in the Divine Realm, they really amounted to nothing!

The reason for their presence here was also a form of trial and test by their Clans – pass the test, and they would receive better cultivation and a higher position!

While the children of the Heavenly Realm were conversing, the Great Emperor of Heavenly Origin and others were also talking, and from the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp, they learned that this challenge was called the Stone Man Formation; at every interval, there would be a three-way fork, two of which were dead ends, and one the correct path. However, even the correct passage was guarded by a Stone Giant, and these Stone Giants were extremely powerful – immune to being split by a blade or burnt by fire, and there were no Divine Skills or Art and Methods that could subdue them, making it very difficult to get through!

And had not the children of the Heavenly Realm said that there might be casualties?

A moment later, they reached a passageway on the left, but when Nadia Berger and the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp saw two Stone Men at the gate of the passageway, they also screamed in unison.

One Stone Giant was already overwhelmingly powerful – with two, how could they possibly get through?

"What is it about Stone Giants?" one of the Sons of Creation from the Immortal Realm asked.

"You can try it yourself," Nadia Berger replied coolly.

"Hmph, then I will try!" The Son of Creation from the Immortal Realm named Perry Hart, also a recently emerged powerful figure, was very strong and highly ranked.

He had his pride and seemed to want to show off in front of others, to highlight himself. After all, all realms were gathered here. If he made a name for himself at this moment, his path ahead would become wider and smoother.

Of course, he wasn’t a fool and didn’t run over to fight the Stone Giant head-on. Instead, he sneered and flicked his finger, propelling a Spirit Stone at a Stone Giant a hundred meters away.

A safe distance from a Stone Giant is a hundred meters, so if you stand a hundred meters away, it won’t attack you on its own!

But if you attack it, it will ignore the hundred meters distance and respond with the most ruthless and frenzied retaliatory killing!

The Spirit Stone shot through the hundred meters like a dart, and with a ’pop,’ it struck the Stone Giant on the forehead!

At the very moment it struck its forehead, the Stone Giant abruptly opened its eyes. Also, the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp, Nadia, and some people in front avoided it quickly, standing against the wall!

"Whoosh—" Everyone only saw a gush of wind, a streak of light, then a ’bang.’

Dead. Before Perry Hart could react, even before he realized what was happening, without any power to resist, he was flattened by the Stone Giant with a single palm. He was smashed into pieces from head to toe, spattering blood all over Nadia’s face.

A chill ran up everyone’s feet, and a few people near the Stone Giant were trembling with fear.

Nadia wiped the blood from her face, but she still didn’t dare to make any big movements!

The Stone Giant turned around, stepped back to stand by the stone gate, and continued to keep his eyes closed.

"Ah..." A few people collapsed to the ground, utterly terrified.

"Ha ha, ignorant fools. Even the Divine King doesn’t dare to take on the Stone Giants head-on, and some minor figure from the Immortal Realm actually dares to provoke them? Truly seeking death!" laughed a person from the Heavenly Realm named Tucker Nash.

"Esteemed one, may I ask if you have any good suggestions?" The Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp then turned to Nadia and asked.

"There are some, but it will cost lives. However, the limitation here is also ten days. If we can’t get through this trial within ten days, the Stone Giants will start attacking indiscriminately until they have killed us all!"

"If the master has a brilliant plan, why not share it with us?" the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp asked with palms together.

"Groups of three or four. Two to attract the Stone Giants, while the other two take the chance to enter the gate. There is no Prohibition Formation Method on that door, and it can be freely passed through. Once inside, you’ll be safe. Of course, there are still five more passages below, and there are Stone Giants at each!"

"What?" Upon hearing Nadia’s words, everyone’s faces changed instantly. Attracting fire? That meant sending two people to their deaths while the other two took the opportunity to enter!

This was indeed a method, but in this world, who would be willingly sacrificed for others?

For a moment, everyone fell silent because they really didn’t know what to do.
