Endless lightning bolts simultaneously converged towards Sen Lei. He wanted to slap himself. Originally, he just couldn't approach the Light Lord; now, the Light Lord was chasing him instead.
"Not good!" As the lightning bolts increased in number and neared closer, Sen Lei was frightened and quickly activated his berserk mode and the Seven Star Steps once more.
He knew that if this continued, his body wouldn't hold up.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Sen Lei thought anxiously.
"Could it be that I can't surpass the sixth level?"
As he was wildly imagining, a yellow figure holding a demonic axe and a long sword appeared behind Sen Lei.
"Kazan?" Sen Lei looked at the yellow figure.
At this moment, Kazan stood behind Sen Lei in the void, like a guardian deity. A cold voice suddenly rang out: "Facing the Lord of Ghosts! Why haven't you retreated?"
"The Lord of Ghosts? Is he talking about me?" Sen Lei pointed at himself in confusion.
Kazan did not answer.
Seg Hart did not stop, and directly charged towards the sword spirit Kazan.
Sen Lei hurriedly retreated from his original position.
"Sword Spirit Domain!" Kazan planted his battle-axe into the ground. A yellow, rune-inscribed domain spread from the ground, flames filling the surroundings. A barrier formed, blocking Seg Hart. Countless lightning bolts crashed against the barrier.
Then, Kazan wielded his blade, infused with the sword spirit, and swung it at the Light Lord. A massive sword beam pierced through Seg Hart's body.
"Is Bacal really dead?" The Light Lord's body was pierced by the sword beam, and parts of it were missing, without regenerating.
The Light Lord stared at Sen Lei and asked again, "Is Bacal truly dead?"
At this moment, Kazan gradually faded away, as if his appearance was another illusion.
Sen Lei looked at the pitiful glowing figure. Though he knew Seg Hart was a figment of his imagination, he couldn't help but admire his loyalty. Looking at the glowing spirit, Sen Lei sighed, "Bacal was a hero, and we will remember him. I will also tell the people of the Heavenly Realm about his deeds."
Although Sen Lei knew this was impossible, he still said it—not to deal with the current situation, but to let Seg Hart give up his long-held obsession. After all, he was truly pitiable.
The light on the Light Lord dimmed, and he conveyed a final message: "Thank you for telling me, adventurer. You will inherit my Light Will."
Sen Lei was puzzled. He wants me to inherit his will?
Was this not my imagination?
"Of course not!" At this moment, the Blood Spirit appeared in front of him.
"Everything you've experienced before, they are real monsters. This space simply summoned them here, and the ones you faced, I have never seen them, nor do I know which world they came from."
The Blood Spirit explained as he observed Sen Lei's increasingly shocked expression.
"What! They really exist???" Sen Lei was completely stunned. Could it be that these game world dimensions truly exist and are connected with the continent I am currently on?
Sen Lei was completely bewildered.
The Blood Spirit looked at Sen Lei's confused expression and said, "Look at your right hand."
Sen Lei quickly looked over.
"What the heck, why is there a little light figure on it???"
"That's what the monster left for you," the Blood Spirit said.
"Huh?" Sen Lei looked at the small light figure and found it indeed resembled Seg Hart.
The small light figure was attached to Sen Lei's right arm, and Sen Lei felt a surge of lightning power filling his right arm.
The Blood Spirit also looked at the light figure and said, "This power is consistent with the glowing spirit you just encountered, so there's no need for you to doubt anymore. Of course, you will have questions, but are there not enough questions in this world? My master, you were chosen by the Blood Demon and also selected by these foreign powers. Your future is to solve and unravel these mysteries, to improve your strength and recover your memories, which is what you should be focusing on now."
After listening, Sen Lei put his arm away, and the confusion in his eyes turned into determination.
Yes! The premise of unraveling all of this is to make myself stronger!
Sen Lei watched as the void in front of him transformed back into a sea of stars. Holding the black bamboo firmly, he resolutely stepped into the sixth level.
The sixth level of the Star Path!
"Holy cow!!!!!! He has entered the sixth level!!!"
This exclamation woke everyone from their drowsiness.
The faces of the group from the Wind Nation turned ashen, like they had eaten something foul.
"He actually stepped into a level that no one has ever reached!" Hou Chuxiao was shocked.
As the second prince of the Western Hua Nation, he had never heard of anyone surpassing the fifth level before. Today, after Ye Hao, another prodigy, the Crown Prince of Senluo, emerged, leaving him feeling a bit melancholic. These prodigies didn't share the same era with his prodigious elder brother. Instead, they appeared in his era, and he felt destined to be overshadowed by them.
Rain Chu Yanran's eyes lit up, and her veiled body trembled slightly. She hadn't expected the Crown Prince of Senluo to be so outstanding. As a member of the royal family and the princess of the Rain Chu Nation, she was well aware of Sen Lei's previous state.
"Truly a man of intrigue," Rain Chu Yanran said as she seductively touched her lips.
At this moment, the elders in the stands were not too surprised because, based on the speed at which he cleared the previous levels, they had already believed he could achieve it, despite the sixth level being as difficult as climbing the heavens in their view.
Of course, there were some people who gritted their teeth in anger.
Qing Chan's stubborn face was filled with astonishment. She never thought that this new student could reach this level, but she wasn't happy about it. Every time she saw her aunt in pain, Qing Chan wanted to tear Sen Lei to pieces.
Here, Sen Lei felt wronged. Why should I bear the consequences of what my father did?
It's not fair!
Of course, he didn't know that women are illogical creatures...
Feng Jing Sheng held Xiao Qi in her arms, feeling both excited and happy. This happiness was even greater than if she had entered the sixth level herself.
Su Qianyi sighed in a low voice, "There's no way I can catch up to him in this lifetime."
The various actions of Sen Lei had completely shattered his confidence in comparing himself with Sen Lei.
It wasn't that he was cowardly or lacked courage, but no one would strive for an impossible goal. That wasn't called perseverance; it was called foolishness!
He could only abandon the thought of surpassing Sen Lei and quietly watch him shine among the crowd.
The last level of the Star Path—the sixth level!
Sen Lei looked at the void in front of him, a world without the slightest sound.
"Is this still the Star Path? Why is it so different from the previous levels? And where has the spiritual pressure gone?" Sen Lei asked the Blood Spirit behind him.
The Blood Spirit followed Sen Lei's gaze and said, "This place contains the power of time and space. Such power should not exist in this dimension."
"The power of time and space?" Sen Lei felt a sense of familiarity.
"Yes, a power that can traverse dimensions!" the Blood Spirit explained.
"Could it be a passageway to the Upper Realm?" Sen Lei suddenly thought.
"Unclear," the Blood Spirit said, then disappeared into Sen Lei's body.
It seemed that he couldn't stay outside for too long.
Without a definitive answer, Sen Lei carried the black bamboo and slowly walked into the void ahead.
