Ch 304: Bridge of Helplessness

On the Bridge of Helplessness, a burst of Yin-Cold Energy rushed towards Meng Liunian, and he suddenly felt cold all over.

He frowned and looked ahead, the solid bridge body becoming ethereal!

“Hurry up, don’t stop! Don’t ask anything, don’t think about anything!” Wu Xingdao said in a deep voice from behind.

As he spoke, he quickly passed Meng Liunian and walked towards the other end of the bridge.

“Kid, don’t think about playing tricks!” Zhu Hong sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange light suddenly appeared on the originally calm bridge, and then a large number of mortal soldiers appeared out of thin air like ghosts. Each of these soldiers was riding a sturdy warhorse, waving the cold, gleaming weapons in their hands, and charging forward while shouting! In an instant, deafening shouts of killing resounded through the clouds, as if to tear the entire world apart.

Witnessing this scene, Zhu Hong’s face instantly turned pale, and his heart couldn’t help but tighten. He quickly closed his mouth tightly and stopped speaking. He began to mutter something in a low voice, and his hands quickly formed complex magic seals one after another. Soon, he gradually regained his composure.

At the same time, the menacing mortal army that rushed over quickly melted and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, like snow under the sun. In the blink of an eye, the entire army turned into countless tiny flying ashes, scattered with the wind, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally relaxed a little. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the bridgehead.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, always stared calmly ahead, his steps steady, and walked expressionlessly towards the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness.

Meng Liunian smiled slightly when he saw this. This Bridge of Helplessness is extremely dangerous for them, but it is a great tonic for himself! The Yin Energy emanating from the bridge body just now was of great benefit to his cultivation. The three hundred and sixty acupoints in his body constantly swallowed and exhaled the Yin Energy on the bridge, transforming it into pure Yin Spiritual Power.

Watching the figures of the three disappear at the other end of the bridge, Meng Liunian smiled slightly, and stepped down hard. An invisible force spread out, and thousands of troops and horses suddenly appeared on the bridge. The leading general raised his great sword and slashed towards the top of his head.

He smiled faintly, sucked them in with one hand, and the Hell Path Reincarnation Sutra operated. The thousands of troops and horses transformed by the bridge surface suddenly turned into pure Yin Energy and were absorbed into his palm.

On the other side, Wu Xingdao and the other two looked at the vast Bridge of Helplessness with cold expressions.

“What should we do? That kid won’t die on the bridge!” Zhu Hong said.

Wu Xingdao frowned and said, “The Extreme Yin Spirit Chrysalis on his body has not died yet, which means he is not dead yet!”

“This kid wouldn’t be doing it on purpose, would he!”

“He naturally knows the pros and cons of the illusion you summoned just now!”

“But he hasn’t come over yet?”

“Wait a little longer! Everyone, don’t worry. No matter how powerful this kid is, he is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The longer he stays on this Bridge of Helplessness, the more powerful the phantoms he encounters will become. As long as that kid doesn’t want to die, he will never dare to hold on forcibly!” Wu Xingdao shouted. Before he finished speaking, he saw his figure flash, and he was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, and he began to adjust his breathing quietly.

After Zhu Hong and Yan Ming looked at each other, they nodded knowingly, and each stepped aside to wait quietly.

At this moment, the Bridge of Helplessness was filled with rolling, tide-like majestic Yin Energy, frantically surging towards Meng Liunian. Facing such a terrifying torrent of Yin Energy, Meng Liunian was not afraid at all. He saw a faint azure light flashing around his body, absorbing all the Yin Energy into his body. As the Yin Energy continued to pour in, the Inner Core at Meng Liunian’s Dantian rapidly grew larger. With a loud “boom”, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Inner Core. Immediately afterwards, a faint but dazzling golden light suddenly shone out from the Inner Core.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had quietly passed. During this period, most of the rich Yin Energy that had been condensed on the Bridge of Helplessness for thousands of years was absorbed into Meng Liunian’s body. At the same time, the Great Dao Cycle Art he practiced had run for a full seven cycles.

As the Cultivation Method continued to run, the Yin Spiritual Power in the three hundred and sixty acupoints in his body became more and more pure.

Finally, under the impact of such rich Yin Energy, Meng Liunian’s cultivation smoothly broke through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, the good times did not last long. Seeing that his Physical Body was gradually unable to withstand the increasingly violent impact of Yin Energy, Meng Liunian knew that he could not continue to be brave. Helpless, he had to sigh lightly and walk towards the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness.

When he came to the bridgehead, Zhu Hong was already impatient. Seeing him appear, he waved his hand and grabbed him down. Bringing him closer, he questioned, “What are you dawdling about, kid? Are you trying to force out the Spirit Chrysalis?”

Meng Liunian smiled and said, “My cultivation is not enough, so I can only walk carefully. As for forcing out the Spirit Chrysalis? I think Senior Wu knows better than I do!”

Wu Xingdao said with a cold face, “Let’s go! We don’t have much time!”

He turned and walked forward.

Zhu Hong snorted coldly when he heard this and chased after him.

Yan Ming on the side came behind him silently. Obviously worried that Meng Liunian would cause trouble again!

Meng Liunian didn’t care and followed calmly.

At this time, by the Bridge of Helplessness, Chang Anle, Xin Daoyuan, Slant-Eyed Dragon, and Feng Ling looked solemnly at the unremarkable Bridge of Helplessness.

“Fellow Daoist Chang, what’s the trick to this bridge?” Feng Ling asked.

Chang Anle smiled confidently, stood at the bridgehead and said, “This bridge is called the Bridge of Helplessness. It is a Mystical Power of the Dragon Palace Mountain Lord, ‘Helplessness’! He has used this Mystical Power to kill countless Heaven’s Chosen, imprisoning their Souls here and condensing the Bridge of Helplessness. To this end, he did not hesitate to destroy seven mortal kingdoms and slaughter tens of millions of people.”

The expressions of several people changed slightly when they heard this!

Xin Daoyuan asked, “Then what is the way to pass this bridge?”

“This bridge is called Helplessness? As the name suggests, this bridge condenses the resentment of tens of millions of Souls. As long as you step on this bridge, you will be entangled by resentment and will surely die! But as long as you clear your thoughts, you will not be affected by this bridge! I’ll go first!” Saying that, Chang Anle stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness.

Slant-Eyed Dragon quickly chased after him when he saw this.

Feng Ling glanced at him, turned around and said to the group of Saints behind Xin Daoyuan, “Your cultivation is not enough, so stay here and wait for us to come back!”

Saying that, he flew onto the Bridge of Helplessness and chased after them.

Xin Daoyuan, who was standing still, smiled faintly, “You stay here and wait for me to come back!”

In the crowd, a capable young man stepped forward and asked, “What if you don’t come back?”

Xin Daoyuan was slightly stunned. He was full of disdain for these Heaven’s Chosen from the Nine Nether Kingdom. Their cultivation at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining was only slightly stronger than those mortals who could not cultivate. Someone dared to question him. He turned his head and glanced at him, “What’s your name?”

“Dian Xiangan!”

“Okay, they will be led by you. Whether to go or stay! You can decide for yourself!” After saying that, he flew onto the Bridge of Helplessness and quickly walked away.

Only in the crowd, a young man with an extremely burly figure was striding towards Dian Xiangan. This young man was more than 1.9 meters tall, with a broad back and a thick waist, and his muscles were knotted. Standing there, he was like an iron tower, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.

When he walked up to Dian Xiangan, the young man looked down at him and said in a muffled voice: “Boy, if you want to become the leader of our group, you have to have some real skills! What about it, do you have the guts to compete with me?”

Dian Xiangan looked up at the aggressive guy in front of him, and couldn’t help but curse secretly in his heart: “Damn it, with him here, how can it be my turn to be the boss!” But on the surface, he didn’t dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed, and said with a smile on his face: “Oh, Senior Brother Li, you’re joking. With you here, what’s my business?”

Hearing that Dian Xiangan was so sensible, a hint of smugness appeared on Li Pojun’s face. He glanced at Dian Xiangan contemptuously, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: “Since that’s the case, then from now on, you will all listen to my command! Everyone, follow me onto the bridge!” After saying that, he stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness without hesitation.

When everyone heard this, they followed closely behind him. For a time, the originally quiet Bridge of Helplessness became very lively, with footsteps and shouts echoing in one piece.

These people had just walked not far when suddenly, screams of extreme misery resounded through the clouds. Immediately afterwards, strange black Yin Energy surged from all directions like ghosts, and without any hindrance, it entered everyone’s body. In an instant, this group of people seemed to have suffered a great torture. Their faces were distorted, their bodies trembled non-stop, and they kept making painful wailing sounds…
