Chapter 575: Chapter 385: Adding More Burdens _3

Owen Bertram cracked the Mountain Spirit Talisman in his hands, maliciously scheming. He quietly observed Akasaka Saburo, seeing great potential in him, and decided to burden him with more responsibilities on behalf of his organization.

While Owen had already cracked the outer part of the Mountain Spirit Talisman, he mischievously waved his hands around, releasing Primordial Wood Talismans. Swirls of vital radiance fell onto the ground around him, causing branches and ancient vines to grow wildly. They wrapped around the peak above Owen’s head and tightened their grip, pulling it aside!

Akasaka Saburo stared dumbfounded as the massive peak slid towards him...

Boom!

The second peak slammed down heavily, and he was now trapped beneath two mountains!

"Wood People! You’re despicable!" As the second Mountain Spirit Talisman descended, Akasaka Saburo was crushed and congested, with stars flashing in his eyes. It took him a while to recover, fuming with anger and cursing in rage!

How could this be possible?!

You’re really not human!

Owen looked up with a worried frown on his face. He had drawn the Mountain Spirit Talisman to Akasaka Saburo, but this didn’t mean that this round was considered passed. Another Mountain Spirit Talisman formed, pressing down towards him.

Owen impulsively tried the same trick again, leading the second Mountain Spirit Talisman towards Akasaka Saburo—boom! Now there were three mountains above Akasaka’s head.

In the void above, spiritual light flashed again, revealing the third Mountain Spirit Talisman. Owen became mischievous: well... let’s make it five!

Boom!

The fourth peak.

Boom!

The fifth peak.

Owen was so composed that he even had the leisurely mood to arrange the composition of mountain peaks, as if arranging flowers.

When the third peak fell, Akasaka Saburo was already crushed to the point of being unable to speak. He could only stare at Owen with eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.

However, Owen didn’t escape the test of the Mountain Spirit Talismans. After the Gourd Elder endured it, Owen spent about half a shichen (an hour) to completely crack a new Mountain Spirit Talisman. The entire peak crumbled and collapsed like a real landslide. The broken stones didn’t fall, but reassembled in the sky to form a stairway leading up to the heavens.

The end point disappeared into the clouds, its destination uncertain.

Owen climbed the stairs, and as he disappeared into the clouds, Akasaka Saburo, pinned under the "Five Finger Mountain," made his final decision with trembling lips.

"Lord Abbott, I am willing to offer my all to gain your full support. This is an unbreakable vow; the moment I leave the Hundredfold Path, my everything will be yours!"

Akasaka Saburo, trapped beneath the five Mountain Spirit Talismans, had no other choice. Relying on his own strength, he couldn’t possibly break free and climb out.

He had thought that by choosing the Talisman Route, he had played a small trick on the Wood People. Now, however, he realized that this was only a laughable overestimation of himself. He had actually chosen a domain that his opponent excelled in. The fleeting lead he had in the previous round might have been due to his opponent being careless or too simple for his opponent to bother giving his all.

While he thought highly of himself for being a member of the Sky Gutter Sect, specializing in talisman arts, he hadn’t expected that there would always be more talented individuals.

Yet, a strong obsession in his heart made him willing to make this terrible decision. Once the agreement was made, his soul would be trapped forever within the Eight Hills Mirror, becoming a slave to this treasure.On Sang Island, the cultivators often relied on external objects. The more powerful the object, the more capable they became. However, their own cultivation usually fell short in comparison to these objects.

They were aware of the drawbacks to this method of cultivation, so they focused on maintaining a balance. Akasaka Saburo’s approach of offering up everything of himself was considered crazy even among the Sangdao cultivators.

But the effects were clear: an ancient and strange mirror flew out of his chest. The mirror was engraved with eight eyes. Normally, when Akasaka Saburo activated this treasure, only three of the eyes would open. Now, all eight of them opened as the mirror released a brilliant golden light.

Wrapped in the golden light, Akasaka Saburo immediately "saw through" everything about his Mountain Spirit Talismans and sprang into action, causing one of them to collapse rapidly...

Owen Bertram reached the end of the Stairway to Heaven and appeared in a special "room". In the center of the room floated a burning ball of fire with countless talismans rolling and rising within it, all different types.

Eight narrow passages extended outward from the flaming ball, and Owen Bertram stood at the end of one, able to see nothingness at the ends of the other seven.

On the ground of the passage were huge square slabs of stone. From the flaming sphere to where Owen Bertram stood, there were exactly seven slabs.

As Owen Bertram appeared, the central fireball let out a whoosh and spread a pillar of fire towards him, approaching him at a constant speed.

From a distance, Owen Bertram could feel the fire’s terrifying power, which would burn incessantly once ignited, turning its target into ashes!

As the pillar of fire appeared, a ring of golden light formed in front of Owen Bertram, containing an intricate talisman structure, even more complex than the previous Mountain Spirit Talismans.

Owen understood that he had to unlock this talisman puzzle before the pillar of fire reached him; otherwise, he would be burned to death!

He immediately got to work, and at that moment, a figure appeared at the end of the passage opposite him - it was Akasaka Saburo!

Owen was taken aback. How did he break free so quickly? If Akasaka Saburo had this level of ability, how could he have been lured to be suppressed by Owen’s four Mountain Spirit Talismans?

With Akasaka Saburo’s appearance, the central fireball released another pillar of fire, rushing towards him.

Akasaka Saburo also saw Owen Bertram and revealed a fierce smile. He held the Eight Hills Mirror in one hand and quickly began breaking the golden circle of light in front of him with the other.

Crack!

Akasaka Saburo’s golden ring of light shattered first, turning into a streak of light that poured into the central fireball. As he successfully solved the problem, his flaming pillar paused momentarily. In contrast, Owen’s pillar of fire suddenly accelerated, extending over two stone slabs and getting even closer to him.

"Hahaha..." Akasaka Saburo laughed loudly: "I never thought that this challenge would involve confrontation. This is perfect! Wood People, it’s time to settle the grudge between us. It is I, not you, who will ultimately walk out of the Hundredfold Path alongside the lofty Heaven’s Chosen of the Wood Dynasty. I imagine that once I come out, the expressions on the faces of the Wood Dynasty’s masters will be very interesting. I can’t wait to see it!"

In front of him, another even more complex golden ring appeared.

Owen Bertram’s heart sank as he pensively looked at the mirror in Akasaka Saburo’s hand, its eight eyes emitting a bewitching golden light. In its radiance, Akasaka Saburo appeared almost demonic, even though he didn’t seem to realize it himself.

Owen became extremely serious. The contents of the Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection slowly flowed through his mind, and his hands rapidly moved, shattering the golden ring of light in front of him. The light turned into a stream that poured into the central fireball. The advancing pillar of fire in front of Owen paused momentarily, and the pillar in front of Akasaka Saburo extended by one stone slab.

With a look of madness in his eyes and the help of the Eight Hills Mirror, Akasaka Saburo quickly broke the second ring of light, pushing Owen’s pillar of fire forward by another stone slab.

"Don’t bother struggling anymore. You are no match for Lord Abbott! You have no idea what price I paid. So this time, you are destined to lose!"

Crack!

He quickly broke the third ring of light, pushing Owen’s pillar of fire into the range of the fourth stone slab, leaving only three slabs between them.
