As this long saber was formed, a new item information appeared in Xiao Shi’s vision.
[Name: Ice Mirror Hell Blade]
[Type: Long Blade (Regional Exclusive Item)]
[Grade: Sage]
[Introduction: A long saber formed by the combination of the Ice Domain Hell Blade and the Handle of Myriad Mirrors. It has all the functions of both and has an additional enhancement.]
[Remark 1: This item belongs to this area exclusively. It can only be used in this area and can’t be brought out of the area.]
[Remark 2: After casting the Ice Domain, the range of the Ice Domain will increase by an additional twofold. The freezing ability of the Ice Domain is stronger. It will be reduced from 30 seconds of necrosis to 20 seconds. Every attack launched in the Ice Domain will carry a portion of the freezing power.] [Remark 3: The mirror image formed by the ice domain will have an ice body and will receive an additional increase under the enhancement of the ice domain. The time for the mirror image to form is reduced from one minute to 40 seconds.] n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
[Remark 4: The Ice Mirror Hell Blade can only be used once. The number of times it can be used will not be counted within the usage of the Ice Domain Hell Blade and the Handle of Myriad Mirrors.]
[Remark 5: All martial artists below the Upper Three Realms can’t avoid it, including Sages.]
Xiao Shi was very excited about this. When these two items were combined to form this complete Ice Mirror Hell Blade, not only did it bring about an increase in ability, most importantly, it was an additional use.
Which meant, apart from being able to use the Ice Domain Hell Blade and the Handle of Myriad Mirrors twice, he could also combine them and use them again. In terms of strength, the strength of these two items was also far stronger than the items in the first round.
“Could it be that every checkpoint corresponds to an era? The first checkpoint corresponds to the Heretic Martial era 100,000 years ago. The second checkpoint corresponds to the Mirror Martial Era.
“And from the strength of the exclusive items in these eras, the strength of the exclusive items in the Mirror Martial Era is clearly higher than the Heretic Martial Era. Does this mean that the later stages, the stronger the exclusive items of the era?”
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, it would be best for him to exchange for the era corresponding to the subsequent levels with the Time Crystal. He believed that the era-specific items corresponding to the later stages would be even stronger.
However, Xiao Shi still did not know what the remaining three eras were. He did not have any information about this. If he wanted to use the Time Crystal at this time, he could only choose between the Heretic Martial era and the Mirror Martial era.
“I can’t be in a hurry to use the Time Crystal now. I have to understand these five eras first. If the era-specific items corresponding to the later stages are stronger, 1’11 naturally choose to exchange for the exclusive items of the later eras. It’s most suitable.”
As he thought, Xiao Shi led a group of guards out of the ice plain and into the lush forest in front. These checkpoints were not completely connected. They would not immediately enter the next checkpoint after leaving one. There was a certain interval between different checkpoints.
Now, Xiao Shi could see it through the map in his hand. Before reaching the next checkpoint, there were a total of three intersecting paths in this forest. Clearly, the three parties that had passed the second checkpoint would converge here.
“In other words, the third checkpoint is also a multiple-person checkpoint.”
Xiao Shi realized that this checkpoint would far exceed the second checkpoint in terms of the number of people. If all three parties successfully passed, the third round would be a six-person round.
But the current situation was that Xiao Shi was already missing a person. If the other two sides also suffered losses in terms of personnel, would the difficulty of this round be the same as the second round? Would it be twice as difficult?
If the difficulty of this checkpoint doubled with every person missing, the further he went, the more shocking the difficulty of these checkpoints became. After all, no matter what, it was impossible for these Martial Demon Realm cultivators to remain intact during the clearance process.
There would definitely be casualties. Then, the difficulty of the subsequent stages would definitely increase. After passing the second level this time, Xiao Shi had already felt that after the difficulty of the level increased, it would become extremely difficult to clear it.
Once the other two sides suffered losses, or if one of the two parties died in the second round and did not pass the round, the situation would be very bad. And the worst case scenario, it was no different from Xiao Shi passing this multiple-person checkpoint alone.
This checkpoint was a six-person checkpoint. The difficulty of clearing it alone was definitely not comparable to the second round. Even Xiao Shi did not have this confidence. After all, in the process of clearing the level, not only did he have to protect himself, but he also had to ensure the safety of these guards.
“The other two should be able to clear it, right?” Xiao Shi knew that the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the Great Wu Empire all had taboos set up by the prince and could not kill each other. Therefore, as long as the other two sides were from the Great Wu Empire, it would definitely form a situation where they joined forces to clear the level..
