Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm Chapter 653

Chapter 653: Chapter 652 Why is the first life and death barrier as difficult as the ultimate task?

The others didn't understand what was going on or what it meant. Only Hou Jun stood there, wide-eyed and speechless, as if he had seen a ghost.

Before Hou Jun could even speak, their surroundings suddenly changed, and they found themselves in an inn.

Everyone was flustered and at a loss about what just happened.

“Don't panic, this means the survival test is about to begin,” said Hou Jun, his demeanor undergoing a sudden change, putting aside his previous arrogance and spite.

Ramble He'd just been given a mission by the Saha World, specifically for him. He was to lead the team through this survival test – the more people he could keep alive, the bigger his reward would be.

“But don't worry, the difficulty of the survival test is calculated based on the abilities of the candidates. We are all ordinary people who have never trained or modified our bodies or unlocked the secrets of the genes. So, the difficulty shouldn't be high. As we meet martial artists, we should be able to handle them…”

[There are countless galaxies in the Permanent World, each with its unique features. The Breeze Galaxy, primarily centered around cultivating immortality, is headed by two respected figures from the Body Integration Realm who are at odds and about to fight. Your task is to stop these two individuals from fighting.]

[Reward: 100,000 virtual values]

The room fell into deathly silence.

Hou Jun forced down his saliva, then fiercely slapped himself in the face. The pain made him realize that this was not a dream.

They had said that the difficulty of the ninth survival test would be lowered, hadn't they?!

The hardest survival tests were those involving cultivation, and the most challenging cultivation tests were those related to the Body Integration Realm.

Preventing two beings capable of destroying planets from fighting, this was a battle only for the strong. Just one glare and he'd be reduced to ashes.

He could even call this an ultimate challenge.

“Where is Daoist Jiang Li?” Hou Jun thought of the mysterious Jiang Li.

Only eleven people remained in the inn. Jiang Li was nowhere to be seen.

Space twisted, and Jiang Li stepped in from the Saha World.

“How come you arrived later than us?” Hou Jun had never seen arrivals in batches before.

Jiang Li smiled: “The Lord of the Saha World respects my opinions. I mentioned wanting to spend some time in the Saha World for observation, and he agreed. When I wanted to leave, I just told him, and he sent me away.”

Hou Jun: “…”

He just couldn't link the “Lord of the Saha World” with “respecting others.”

“Have the tasks been issued yet? Let me see what they want us to do…oh, stop the Body Integration Realm fight, huh…”

Jiang Li nodded. He was quite familiar with this; he had done it numerous times in the State of Zhou.

Hou Jun analysed the situation critically: “This should be a Cultivation Galaxy, and we're currently on one of its planets.”

“If these two powerful beings are fighting for a reason, perhaps due to a difference in ideology, we would need to gather information and help them accept each other's thinking.”

“Or perhaps their children are lovers of peace. We could persuade them to intervene…”

True to his experience of surviving eight survival tests, Hou Jun provided several strategic plans based on different situations.

“We need to split up now and collect information as quickly as possible. And remember, we can't reveal our identities and speak a word about the 'Saha World' during the mission, or the Lord of the Saha World will strike us down with divine punishment!” Hou Jun sternly warned them.

Taking his words to heart, Jiang Li stepped out of the room and onto the street. He pulled over a passerby and asked, “Have you ever heard of the Saha World?”

The passerby had no idea what Jiang Li was talking about and shook their head.

Looking on in horror, Hou Jun tried to stop him but it was too late.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as dark as ink, and thunder could vaguely be heard.

Jiang Li craned his neck up and waited for what seemed like eternity, yet the expected punishment never came.

Eventually, the dark clouds dispersed and nothing happened.

Not giving up, Jiang Li stopped several more passersby and kept asking them about the Saha World. The dark clouds above his head came and went but refused to bring forth any thunder.

One of the younger members quietly asked Hou Jun: “Are we really not allowed to mention the Saha World? This Daoist priest seems fine though.”

Hou Jun was sweating profusely and didn't bother to answer such a foolish question. The laws of the Lord of the Saha World were absolute and Jiang Li's survival was the greatest mystery.

Although he was unsure of Jiang Li's methods, one thing was clear to him – he had no business meddling in this matter.

This year, a formidable monster has joined the new batch of candidates!

The raised difficulty of this survival task from the simplest one to almost the highest level must be because of this mysterious Daoist!

Suddenly, the oppressiveness of the Body Integration Realm spread across the entire planet. Two figures stood shoulder to shoulder in the universe, locked in a titanic staredown.

“It's Master Miao Yuan and Master Po Lang! They're going to fight again!” A passerby recognized the identities of the two powerful figures.

“We're too late! They're going to start fighting now. We can't stop them!” Hou Jun had not expected things to escalate so rapidly, it seemed that the Lord of the Saha World had never intended for them to pass this survival test.

“Their faces look kind. I reckon they're reasonable people. Let me give it a try,” giggled Jiang Li as he leisurely flew towards the sky.

“Reasonable?” Hou Jun looked at the formidable duo and found it impossible to relate them to sanity. If their portraits were hung up at doors, they would definitely ward off evil spirits.

“For both of your sakes, why not sit down and have a peaceful chat?” A vague voice echoed, raising the vigilance of both men from the Body Integration Realm.

The source of the voice was impossible to pinpoint and reminded them of a flower glimpsed through fog, which scared them so much that they broke out in cold sweats.

“May I ask about your name, please!” Both men saluted, joining forces and momentarily forgetting their fight.

As the cloud dispersed, Jiang Li was seen casually strolling in the mid-air, a faint smile on his face.

“My name is Jiang Li.”

The men grew even more uneasy. They could sense limitless “vigour” from Jiang Li, who seemed to transcend everything, beyond the scope of the five elements.

Just as they felt they were on a small boat in a storm, at risk of capsizing at any time, and the only thing they could do was pray. Jiang Li was like the storm itself, a mysterious existence that devoured everything.

Across the Tribulation… perhaps even a higher level?!

The men exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting chills of fear.

What had they gotten themselves into?

“Could you please respect me and have a nice chat?” Jiang Li amusedly suggested, and the two previously arrogant men from the Body Integration Realm nodded vigorously, fearing that any reluctance on their part might cause their existence to be devoured.

“Are you the Lord of the Saha World?” one of them cautiously asked.

The feeling Jiang Li gave them was very similar to that of the Saha World's Lord – mysterious, omnipotent, and unfathomable.

Even though they had left the Saha World for many years, the feeling they had of the Saha World's Lord was still clear as yesterday.

“No, I am just a casual Mahayana Realm passerby.”

“It seems like you know the Lord of the Saha World. That's good, because I'm going to meet the Lord of the Saha World later. Tell me what you know.”
