Chapter 1151: Chapter 639: Purgatory Squad_2 Chapter 1151: Chapter 639: Purgatory Squad_2 The man desperately tried to resist, but he truly was no match for Logan at the moment. The man quickly said,
“You've already taken so many of my treasures, and if I return to the barrier, I will definitely have plenty of time to recover my strength. Aren't you afraid!” The man attempted to reason with Logan. Logan, however, just shrugged his shoulders. He would wait for the man to escape from the Ancient Barrier; as far as he knew, escaping from the barrier was no simple task and required a long period of trials. He didn't believe anyone could come out of it unscathed.
If it were so easy, those old folks would have escaped a long time ago. The Flood Dragon by his side also sensed trouble. If the man got into trouble, then it too would be sent back into the Barrier and would do anything to avoid returning. The man roared and, together with the Flood Dragon, confronted Logan. They used half of their current essence energy to forcibly break through an expedient path. Initially, they were able to match Logan, but now the light bursting forth from the man gradually began to eclipse Logan.
Almost in an instant, his body and face underwent changes, looking different from his younger appearance. It seemed he also sacrificed a lot and paid a significant price.
The man looked at Logan, pleading desperately to stay–this was all forced by Logan.
“Don't be so arrogant and pleased with yourself, Logan. You probably didn't expect this, but I'm strong enough to allow myself to wake up and even become stronger!” Logan frowned. With his current strength, he was definitely not capable of confronting a fully recovered man. He couldn't believe the man was so stubbornly determined to defeat him.
That was a massive grudge, especially with the power that was emerging, which even Logan wasn't quite sure about now.
Other Sect disciples watching the sky change felt familiar with this aura; they had been to the tombs in the Ancient Barrier before. This aura was identical to the one inside the Barrier. They commented that it's no wonder the man from Ancient Times was being beaten by Logan.
It turned out his strength had not yet changed.
“Now Logan definitely can't be arrogant anymore, his strength has recovered. I want to see how Logan can win–if he wins, I'll walk on my hands!”
“Logan has no chance of winning, he has no idea just how powerful the people from Ancient Times are, otherwise, a domain Barrier wouldn't have been erected to keep them separate!” They eagerly discussed. Seeing this, Logan realized he had no choice but to push his Spiritual Energy and temporarily elevate his strength to a new level just to battle. Logan remained composed.
Just as he hesitated whether to use it, Spirit Mountain suddenly trembled. This disturbance interrupted their duel.
“This is Spirit Mountain not allowing anyone to cause trouble here. If you disturb the rest of the Underground, you will definitely suffer backlash!” The man sighed with relief. Fortunately, the original aura of Spirit Mountain detected the fluctuations here and stopped their confrontation. He immediately steadied his mind to recover the previously lost Essence Energy. The man looked at Logan calmly and said,
“Today, you're lucky, and you also saw the peak of my vision recovery. You're no match for me. You should be grateful you came out unscathed today!” Logan didn't speak, calculating inwardly; he absolutely couldn't let the man return to his peak now, as it would be very disadvantageous for his current situation. The Flood Dragon, however, remained silent, never having felt so aggrieved, being beaten by Logan until it didn't even dare raise its neck. It was truly wronged.
Just then, the Elders from the various Sects stepped in to make peace. “Alright, let's stop arguing, everyone. It's better to calm down first. Besides, this isn't a major hatred; even if there are grudges, we should talk about them outside!”
Logan had little respect for their pretentiousness. What were they doing just now? Now they were stepping out to speak, just pretending to be good. Humans weren't even good at pretending. Logan continued walking forward, regarding them as his lifelong rivals. They had resolved Logan to be their opponent for life; even if they couldn't reach Logan's peak, they wished for a battle with him.
Logan stepped onto the staircase with ease, unlike the others who had to use their life's ultimate skills. They looked at Logan, feeling he was defying the heavens, always so lucky wherever he went.
“We must rely on our own strength to ascend, but he's so strong, he makes it look easy. So, he can't be that impressive!” In the first half, he was praising Logan; in the second half, he was wrestling with whether he could hold on.
Logan Logan eyed the little tail trailing behind him, still a distance away, as he barged into Spirit Mountain. At the top of Spirit Mountain, there seemed to be a gate that resembled a palace entrance. He gently pushed it open, and he was greeted by a cloud of dust. Looking at the surrounding scenery, Logan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
There was nothing at all, not even a trace of treasure left behind; it had all been thoroughly looted. Without any good loot, there was no chance of obtaining anything of value.
Was there no justice in the world? Logan wondered within his heart. Just as he was about to leave, Logan caught a glimpse of a white phantom flashing before his eyes. The phantom, noticing Logan, spoke up.
“Just now, it was you intervening halfway up the mountain's slope, wasn't it? Your strength is quite decent, and your talent's not bad either. When did all the people outside become so weak? You're barely passable to take a look!” Logan could tell that the elder held some recognition for his abilities but was disdainful of everyone else. After all, it was only a remnant soul; what exactly was it trying to say?
Sensing Logan's confusion, the Remnant Soul blew its nose and glared as Logan stared at the wall, puzzled. Why didn't he understand this part? His mere presence here was enough proof that there was more than one treasure inside.
“I won't say it. If you can find the issue here, it will prove that you have been acknowledged. If not, then perhaps it's just not meant to be!” the soul sighed, wanting to test Logan. Logan was a bit puzzled. Why test him?
He didn't even know what the problem was, and he couldn't quite grasp the concept.
Seeing Logan's foolish expression made the elder feel even more agonized, genuinely not understanding what Logan was thinking.
He had stared for so long and still hadn't figured it out.
Just as the elder was about to give up and considering telling Logan directly, Logan split the door open.
“I understand now, there's a secret door here. Behind it must be a narrow path leading somewhere else; the exterior is just a facade, right? The aura here is set up very covertly. Without a strong sense of perception, it would indeed be undetectable!”
Logan was calm and collected, his analysis making perfect sense. The elder nodded in satisfaction. Logan was right, and it was a good thing he had answered correctly because even the elder's patience was limited.
“Alright, follow me. Since you've passed the test, you shall come in with me!” The elder waved his hand nonchalantly, and the surrounding scenery transformed. Even his Remnant Soul slowly became more solid, resembling an apparition materializing out of thin air, leaving Logan utterly bewildered.
“Elder, wasn't that just your Remnant Soul outside? How did you suddenly come to life? What on earth is going on here? Haven't you had an accident? You couldn't be playing tricks, could you?” Logan rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it was possible. He always felt there was a staggering secret within, waiting to be uncovered by him. The elder simply smiled, giving no answer.
“You're not the first to arrive here, but you'll find out soon enough.” The elder urged Logan to not be impatient. Logan observed the changes before him. It turned out that all other sects had been stopped from entering–they simply couldn't get in.
They couldn't understand why Logan could enter while they could not. Was there no justice in the world? Elder Talon Skyler was also frowning deeply, the man's essence energy nearly depleted, fully aware of what the situation was.
“Stop wondering; none of you have passed the test.”
