Chapter 2619: Chapter 2617: The Second-Level Vault

Ethan Smith’s heart tightened, this ability to manipulate space with just a gesture.

This ability was beyond anything he could contend with, such heavenly means had already mastered a certain power of rules within the Holy Kingdom.

As he focused his mind, Ethan Smith instantly felt a sinister force rushing towards his Divine Soul.

It made his soul feel a sensation of being torn apart, the kind of pain that penetrated deep into his Divine Soul made his body twitch involuntarily.

“Although I am still affected by the order of this Holy Kingdom, with the Heart of the Holy Kingdom shattered, the influence has been greatly reduced, I can increase the difficulty of the trial to a certain extent.”

Felix Cloud pointed out with a finger, and ripples appeared in the space at his fingertip.

His fingertip pierced through space, directly touching Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul.

Tens of thousands of black forces emanated from his fingertip, and these black threads penetrated his Divine Soul.

Then they began to twist, squeezing Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul into various shapes.

The Sea of Divine Soul was divided by these thread-like blades, then mended again.

“This is the most basic and brutal mental attack, the Divine Soul has a certain limit of endurance, and once the critical value is reached, the Divine Soul will naturally collapse.”

Felix Cloud chuckled softly.

Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul was torn into thousands of pieces once more, then mended again.

“How is it? Do you want to kneel and beg for mercy? But once the trial starts, it cannot be stopped, though I can control it to spare you some pain.”

Felix Cloud’s face showed a mocking expression.

“Enough with the nonsense, if you have tricks, show them already.”

Ethan Smith’s face was somewhat pale, he finally understood where his slim chance of survival lay compared to others.

He had encountered a Nightmare in the Purgatory Ninth Layer, suffering extreme mental torment.

But at that time, the spiritual power left by his father protected him, giving him the ability to resist such extreme mental torture.

Even though the pain now was persistent, Ethan Smith’s gaze showed no hint of distraction.

“Hmph, let’s see how long you can keep your defiance, I can extend the time to the maximum, until you collapse and beg for mercy.”

Felix Cloud sneered coldly, moving his hand again to tear Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul into countless pieces.

For three whole days, Ethan Smith experienced the most primitive mental shock, his Divine Soul was shattered countless times and then restored again. By the end, even as he stood still, every bone in his body twitched uncontrollably.

His Divine Soul Power was completely disordered, at this moment he couldn’t even lift a finger.

Felix Cloud’s face turned extremely ugly, he hadn’t thought that anyone could withstand such extreme mental attacks.

Even a few previous Demon Cultivators with strong souls had their Divine Souls collapse under this test, yet Ethan Smith endured to the end.

“What, that’s it?”

Ethan Smith spoke strugglingly.

“Hmph! It’s just passing a test, I’ll block Saifu for you, but if you’re killed by summoned creatures or outsiders, it will result in the same outcome.”

He snorted coldly as the time arrived.

The entire space of the trial ground began to gradually shatter.

Ethan Smith’s body, after a moment of virtualization, reappeared at the entrance of the bunker.

“Why did you come out so quickly?”

Yvelise Ayers was slightly surprised at the door, in his world, Ethan Smith had just entered, and less than a minute later he came out immediately.

“Is the time inside different from outside?”

But he quickly realized.

Ethan Smith’s condition was extremely poor, he could hardly stand.

Yvelise Ayers had not deceived him, if it were anyone else, they would likely have died countless times.

Even though he had experienced this kind of Divine Soul torture once, experiencing it again now still felt terrifying.

“Saifu’s threat should be temporarily eliminated, the people in the bunker will block Saifu’s power, we won’t be attacked again during the battle.”

Although Saifu could not directly kill them, he could affect their combat effectiveness by various means.

If it came to a real great war, this influence would be deadly.

“But those undead armies and that outsider are still big problems.”

Ethan Smith smiled bitterly, especially that mysterious outsider who could kill Grayson with one strike.

This indicated his power far exceeded Ethan’s, what would they do when faced with him on the battlefield?

“Just solving Saifu is already a huge surprise, the rest, though difficult, gives more opportunities. With Saifu’s abilities, he could have killed most elite soldiers; now, Nine Bends City’s combat power has increased significantly.”

Yvelise Ayers’s expression relaxed considerably.

In their conversation, a terrifying power emanated from the bunker, covering the entire Nine Bends City like a river.

This should be the power of Nine Bends City supporting Felix Cloud, Ethan Smith was amazed, such power capable of covering the entire city indicated its immense strength.

“Ethan Smith, with the City Lord of Nine Bends City’s help in guarding the city walls, you have earned great military merit, you can come to the warehouse to exchange rewards, and then prepare for the next great war.”

As the power emanated, two Supervisory War Team Soldiers approached them, one of them spoke to Ethan Smith.

“Alright.”

Ethan Smith immediately followed the two.

With the previous intelligence from Yvelise Ayers submitted, the time for the great war has been extended by one and a half days, now time is running short.

Increasing strength further before the great war begins is crucial for surviving the final battle.

Yvelise Ayers followed behind, heading to the warehouse together.

The front still had common Pills and Mysterious Items.

But having made previous choices, Ethan Smith dared not randomly choose these mysterious things now.

These mysterious items had entered the Holy Kingdom from another place, undergoing the Holy Kingdom’s power’s assault inside.

Therefore, despite being heaven-defying magic weapons, they were mostly incomplete, usable only a few times.

And many were useless, likely to yield nothing at all.

“Military merit is sufficient, you may enter the next layer.”

As Ethan Smith hesitated, the Supervisory War Team Soldier behind him suddenly spoke up.

“Is there another layer?”

Ethan Smith was slightly surprised; considering he had slain a Black Dragon but hadn’t received orders to enter the next layer.

It showed how high the military merit required for the next layer was, as the soldier presented a token.

The wall vibrated violently and pulled apart on both sides.

It was a narrow Secret Chamber with only five items placed on it.

“You may choose two.”
